Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 With Fix for Messages Bug

It happens for me a lot less after 10.13.2, but unplugging from a LG 4k or 5k, or sometimes opening the screen out of clamshell when still connected crashes the OS (yellow screen on laptop, red screen on LG).

It happened every single time on 10.13 and .1, and the only way around it was to log out before disconnecting or opening the lid.

What Mac model? and are those Thunderbolt 3 connections or some other way?

We have LG 4K's but a lower end model that is Displayport or HDMI connections with out any issue like that. (USB-C to HDMI direct from laptop worked fine but with the Elgato Thunderbolt 3 dock found that we had to use USB-C to Displayport to get things to play nicely - using the DisplayPort connection on the dock directly had weird detection issues - will be doing some testing with some HP 4K's to see if the same problem shows up - through the dock USB-C to HDMI resulted in a weird lag to the LG 4K that didn't happen when connected any other way)
 
Any iMac Pro owners try this? 10.13.3 beta 5 totally shut down my USB storage devices, including the card slot.

HELP!!! This worked up till the point where terminal said a restart was required. I typed reboot as you instructed and got the message that was not allowed. Had to exit terminal to get anything to happen, tried a restart and a S/D restart and 10.3.3 is not installed AND not available as an update!!

HELP!!!

Just wait a day or two for the Combo Updater to appear here: https://support.apple.com/downloads

Start up from internet recovery and install the OS from there. You should get 10.13.3 installed that way.
 
Not seeing the blurry PDFs. They do look slightly different in Acrobat, but couldn't really say one is better than the other.

Anyone got the build number?? So far my iMac has rebooted itself 3 times and is asking for a fourth because "some updates could not be installed". Anybody have any ideas what to do??
 
Can I click the icon to load an app/search result in Spotlight now, or do I still have to click the tiny line-item on the left panel?

This bug has been driving me crazy, I'm shocked no one else has noticed it. It's the little things I miss about vanilla Sierra...
 
Not seeing blurry PDFs here either, but I am seeing some where certain fonts do not render properly in Preview. That doesn't happen to me when they're opened in Acrobat, Firefox or Chrome.

Mine did the same thing, and still on 10.3.2, Downloading the combo updater now and will try that.. OBTW same thing happened to my 2011 mini as well as this nMP
 
Is anyone else going through a forced iTunes library rebuild (long-lasting "Importing iTunes Music Library.xml" dialog) after this update?

My old library has not been renamed. Normally that would get from "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (Damaged)" if the file were corrupted during the previous save.

What's up? Is Apple significantly changing the library file format or something?

Edit: I restored an earlier library and iTunes didn't force a rebuild on that one. I'm glad I had a backup. Make sure you do too!

update worked fine on 2015 MacBook and 2017 15" MacBook Pro, iMac Pro is a different story, update failed 4 times to install (says it does, 15 minutes and several restarts later it's still missing), full 10.13.3 14D47 installer says it's not for iMac Pro, Recovery says it's missing an update but fails to install it, Combo installer says it's not for the iMac Pro either...

Sorry mine did not do that after the new iTunes D/L and install.
