Apple Releases macOS High Sierra With Apple File System, Safari Autoplay Blocking and Privacy Tools, Metal 2, and More

I have heard there are issues with iMac's with Fusion drives, has any one successfully upgraded to High Sierra with a Fusion drive?? I am reluctant to update my 2015 iMac as i have a 3TB Fusion drive. Appreciate the feedback!

A Fusion drive won't be changed from HFS+ to APFS. Other than that, you'll be fine.

Appalling download speeds here in the UK. It's gone from 5 minutes remaining to 9 hours and rapidly climbing.

Mine took about 10mins.

Maybe not, as I don't see it yet on the east coast of the US. I really don't like that MR simply posts something like this when there's no evidence yet.

Search it and it'll pop up.

To anyone with SPSS v.24 running High Sierra - any issues so far?

 

[dbagg]

I managed to grab it immediately in the UK, 4 minutes to download. Reporting 41 minutes to install. A few graphical glitches with a 5k screen but appears to be fine now.

Same here. 41mins currently showing on the installing screen.

2016 MacBook Pro.

My download initially estimated 8 minutes. Now it is estimating over 3 hours.

5-6 hours here ...

That is what I did. I was shocked to see it work haha.

Pretty normal since it was just released. It is usually better to download later at night or early in the AM.

Installing onto Macbook Air 2010 now. Will report back.

Waiting for the hack that will allow APFS on all drives.

It’ll probably come in a minor update.

Anyone know how APFS works if I've got a SSD in my MBP and am backing up to an external spinning hard drive? If it supports SSDs only, what file system does it use on the backup drive? Or have I missed something?

nothing showing

Stare at the Webcam and swipe up using your touchpad. It's the new unification of iOS and macOS. Beware, this works on 2016+ MBPs only.

Consistently, the answer has been that there's no problem with HDD-based HFS+ backups (including Time Machine) of SSDs running APFS. Data is data. One drive stores it one way, one the other, but it'll be OK. If you have to do a restore from the HFS+ drive back to the SSD, the OS figures it out.

How long does Apple take to release Combo Update after a major release like this one?

There won't be one for this release. Only 10.13.X releases have combo updates since a combo update rolls the 10.13 updates in one.

High Sierra can be found when you open the App Store app, and it is one of the Featured Items.

 

[now i see it]

I dare someone to install this on a 2010 Mac Mini that has an internal SSD & 8Gib RAM.

On the GM build I had issues with Outlook Mailbox App working? Anyone know if this has been resolved with this build or if I'll still encounter the same issues upon download. Much more convenient to manage multiple emails in the Outlook App.

Your spinning hard drive would remain on whatever file system is currently runs, probably HFS+.

I cancelled the download and restarted the download process. Now it's downloading much faster.

 

[Anijake]

Can I just do a Option-Command-R to do a clean install from the internet? Has the online install from Apple been updated yet?

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Is this true for anyone?

 

[diamond3]

3 minutes to download on my end. No issues with the servers being slow.

 

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

what I want to know have they update the bootcamp divers so you can boot between the 2 Operating Systems

I plan on doing this, but I will wait until tomorrow night for the upgrade. I've already downloaded the 4.8GB installer.

URGENT suggest no one download this until have assurances these vulnerabilities are fixed.
