What's up with the "combo" title in the app store description?

A combo includes all earlier 10.13.x versions, so if you have 10.13.0 and it needs to install 10.13.2 there's no need to install 10.13.1 first.

There are also Delta Updates, they are just 1 step forward, like 10.13.1 to 10.13.2
 
Anyone willing to see if FCPX 10.3.4 is any better on this?

Was planning to update 9 iMacs recently, but there was too many issues with FCPX while testing (Colour Profile issues, UI Glitches), that rollout is now cancelled... Sierra seems to be the way forward with FCPX at present to get work done.
 
On the first update try my MacBook screen turned teal green during restart. :eek: Then I got an error that the update failed. AppStore started downloading it for the 2nd time, it seemed the download was smaller this time. I don't remember the exact file size but it was definitely less than the first time. Did the firmware update failed? I'm worried...

How can I check if the firmware update passed? And why was the 2nd download smaller??? HELP!!! :confused:


It most likely installed the RecoveryHD Update first, it several 100's of MB, so next time it only downloaded the others.

Firmware won't fail, they test that over and over.
 
Always a good day when Apple throws love at Musicians and Audio-related improvements. Logic and GB are my bread and butter!!! :cool:

Interesting, I had simply rebooted my Mac the other day (no updates, just hadn't restarted it in a long time) and when I did, the screen turned teal green, and hung there for about 10 seconds, before it finally restarted. I thought something, like the display or logic board, was going faulty, but it came back up OK, so rebooted it again out of curiosity and it was still normal. So I don't know what the heck happened there. It was the day of that macOS security update, now that I think about it, so I wonder if it was something with it that caused the teal green screen after it was installed (since it didn't require a reboot).
 
Ran the update on my Patched 2008 Mac Pro and when it rebooted I had a notification that some of the updates had not installed. Although the version reflects 10.13.2. Went to check app store and it won't load. None of my Safari or Firefox will load either. Chrome works.

That happened to me on my new MacBook Air. It said failed and downloaded a second time. It rebooted and I’m on the finder. Who knows what got screwed up in the process. What’s wrong with Apple? Stop working in Emoji and fix your software please.
Mine failed twice using the App Store updater. I downloaded the full 10.13.2 updater and that took around 1 hour 10 minutes to install. It hung on "calculating time remaining" for around 20 minutes. This is on a 27" late 2015 iMac. All seems OK now that it has finished, though.
 
I’ve got 2x 4K LG monitors connected via DP (dungles) to a TBMBP and everything crashes (wake problems, displays not responding, etc.) when I updated 10.13.1 is it worth trying 10.13.2 ?

Hopefully it fixes:
Random kernel panics when extrenal drives are connected
System processes that eat up 30GB in ram
Low performance when using discrete GPU
Booting time that it is 2 minutes instead of 10 seconds
Gestures crashing every once a while
Mail looking for outlook server for iCloud email when attaching large files
And all the rest of bugs that never had before 13.1.

This doesn’t mean these bugs are system related, maybe they are user related, have you tried with an external new system? Or at least with another user?
 
Not much of a change log after all them betas i expected a lot more, at least its final now bring on the next round of betas hopefully with icloud messaging
I won't bore anyone with what is fixed but there are certainly some more important fixes to me at least than are listed. Apple never lists the important techie ones for some reason.
 
A feature like that would probably be listed in the release notes.

This will undoubtedly be thoroughly tested via betas prior to release.

Ever since Apple announced that High Sierra wouldn't be shipping with APFS support for Fusion Drives, I have maintained that it wouldn't arrive until at least the .4 update. I stand by that assessment.

Some games I've been playing have been incessantly freezing for no reason whatsoever. After this update the freezing has completely stopped. So yeah ...

Might as well for the other reasons, unless you were planning on downgrading.

Also, you don't need to use dongles––just get yourself USB C to Displayport cables. Might fix the problem. Works great with my 4K, thought I don't have an LG and I haven't upgraded to HS yet.
 
Does it also fix my unresponsive interface? When clicking on buttons, closing apps or typing there’s often an annoying delay.

And maybe I will be able to print again on our HP printers at work. Spent hours with HP support on the phone only to conclude High Sierra is the culprit.

At least High Sierra fixed the Sierra bug causing my 2012 iMac not to properly wake from sleep for an entire year. I guess we can’t have it all ;-)
