Nonsense. The chime is baked into firmware. An OS update couldn't remove it. You probably had your volume set to zero, which mutes the chime on the next reboot.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, found it.
Spotlight didn't find it before and I had the impression it was in Applications - Utilities (where it of course was not).
[doublepost=1506413318][/doublepost]Provided you did not install iTunes 12.7 disabling SIP still let's you completely delete the horrible app called iBooks
yes it is. but i downloaded it from the app store. just search for high sierra
Going to post this as a warning here - on a clean install of High Sierra, VMware Fusion 8.5 (currently 8.5.8) does not work. When launching a VM it throws an error:
Don't know if it is any different with an upgrade over 10.12 to 10.13.
Edit: VMware Tech Preview 2017 can't also start VM's
Edit #2: it works afterall!
During the installation it shows a notification about software from VMWare.inc being blocked and that it can be enabled in System preferences, Security & Privacy.. and indeed, after that there is a button which allows the kernel extension to run. The button disappears afterwards.
Confusing, but... that’s the Apple of today

While upgrading my macOS from Sierra to High Sierra this morning on my MBPr 15” (late 2014), I had a message that it could not be installed with this computer along with the error:
OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged
I tried a opt-cmd-R and no partition will even show in the Disk Utility. Everything is just wiped out!!!
Trying to reinstall macOS wouldn’t see any disk to install the OS on.
Now I’m just hoping the Time Capsule isn’t corrupt...
What a nice birthday present Apple! :-(
Did someone experienced something similar and could solve it without wiping everything?
[doublepost=1506420772][/doublepost]
I then went in single user mode with nothing to do there, exit... and now the Install seems to be resuming, but seems stuck at « About 41 minutes remaining », sometimes dropping to 40 minutes and going back to 41.
Not sure I’m saved.

Trying find a solution, I tried SHIFT while booting, it wouldn’t go further than an everlasting full progress bar.

I haven't been this wary of installing a new MacOS in years. In addition to the inevitable kinks in every dot zero version, I'm concerned about the conversion to APFS on all my Macs with SSDs. Fortunately, the release version of SuperDuper! still doesn't support APFS (it's in beta), and I won't upgrade until it's compatible. It also concerns me that APFS doesn't yet work with Fusion drives—I don't recall another instance where a major OS feature wasn't compatible with a shipping Mac.
After some strange black screens and reboots, the install then ended up correctly.
I think I lost a full bucket of sweat in the process.
Same with my 2017 27" iMac on Monday night (U.S. time). Had made sure to update all my apps first (including, notably, Office 2016), which probably helped. Everything works fine, including all my daily driver apps. Even saw a note on my iPhone that it now would be saving photos in "high-efficiency format" because the sync'd Mac had been upgraded. Wasn't expecting that. Impressed.
That is exactly what it is. Here is mine showing about 60GB used, and that matches up with the Storage pane.
Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 250.0 GB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +250.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 60.8 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 18.2 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 520.0 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 2.1 GB disk1s4
In more than a decade and a half of using Macs, I haven't experienced a single problem updating the OS.
Same again this time.
Same again this time.
That's great!
Statically speaking then, if we only asked you it would be 100% problem free.
Everyone can relax now.
Yep. But the problem was I was NOT using 307 GB's.
So my only assumption is that the upgrade to 10.13 left some serious junk behind (~187 GB worth of junk) which did not show up anywhere, nor was cleaned up during reboots.
I have now set up the computer fresh, exactly to how it was before, only it's now on 10.13 instead of 10.12. And disk usage now is exactly what it was before the upgrade, about 120GB used.
This is on all versions of MacOS, not just this one. So to use this as a reason not to upgrade doesnt make sense
I'd recommend a broader sample size. For example, somewhere where a wide variety of people felt free to post both positive and negative examples. Users could then weigh up the pros and cons at their leisure. An open forum of some kind.
But where would we find such a place?

HS broke my iTunes 12.7.0.166 !!!
Performed the upgrade and now the iTunes function keys (skip, pause,...) on my (vintage) wired Apple keyboard no longer do anything
PITA to have to give the window focus and use the mouse.
EDIT: Except today it does work

Just spent the morning updating three machines (2015 15" rMBP, 2015 13" rMBP and 2016 MacBook) -- all went smoothly and well, each taking about an hour. A pleasant surprise and a relief!
