Apple Releases macOS Sierra 10.12.4 With New Night Shift Mode

No Night Shift on my iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)

edit: enabled it using the patch mentioned here

even easier: https://github.com/TMRJIJ/Night-Shift-on-Unsupported-Macs

Worked like a charm - much better than the "enable handoff on an unsupported mac" script that's around too, thanks a lot. Incredible how reliable and current these 2011 machines are...

When I resume from sleep, night shift does not disable even though it is outside the schedule. Anyone noticed this?

Seen it a few times. It seemed like it started working correctly after a minute or two.

Exact same here! I see that it's doing something during login (progression bar), but it never reaches desktop and goes dark... I even did a refresh install to no avail... Pretty pissed at this point...

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? If it boots then, you've probably got a bad login item or kernel extension. I have to watch system updates myself because I have a kernel extension for my Roland Quad Capture. Virtual Box also installs a kernel extension I believe.

This does not really seem like a "major" update.

Siri in a nutshell.

New keyboard all good. Old one still dead
Either the update process fried it or it's a strange coincidence

Can you try attaching the old keyboard to a different computer, preferably non-mac?

Hmmm Still no bug fix for the Terminal crashing. This is a MAJOR pain in the arse. Come on Apple

I expect 10.12.5 to be out asap

How hard is it to go back to 10.12.3 if you don't have a time machine back up? is it a erase and install thing?

Yes, but the catch is you would need to have the 10.12.3 installer saved from before when 10.12.4 came out. Because if you go to download and install now you will get 10.12.4 from Apple's servers.

I was going to go to apple and they have all the versions on their server. Does the computer need to be wiped clean and then installed or does it just act like a "normal" update?

Yes... it would need to be fully erased then 10.12.3 installed. I'd be curious to know how that works out for you with Apple and if they are willing to give you the older version. Could you please let us know.
