And most likely you will loose space again if you don't turn of local TimeMachine snapshots.
Right now I don't know the command, if I find I will update this post.

The next link explains it, seems to me your Time Machine was enabled somehow, it should not make local snapshots if it is disabled as you can read in this link.

Very useful! but what if i dont have a time machine?

If you read this thread you would have found out about a dozen times that you have to use the search option in the app store to find it and then download it from there.

Thanks for your snarky reply!

No update showing for me in Canada yet.

When will it be available in Canada?

 

[jonnysods]

Should be there in "Featured"

It just turned up now, great!

Apple servers are extremely slow in the UK, they really need more servers!!

Servers suck worldwide unfortunately. Really funny considering they could predict the traffic quite well.

Any issues for early adopters? 'Cause I am itching...

You can download it from the App Store homepage; it hasn't appeared under "Updates" yet.

I wonder how this would fare on my 2010 white MacBook with 20GB of space remaining and 8GB RAM. I'm currently on Mavericks.

Is this the same version as the latest GM? It shows up as downloaded already.

Yes it is

During the beta, my non-retina MBP kind of made the system font on Sierra a bit blurry/out of focus looking. This wasn't an issue with El Cap. Is this something that changed with Sierra's font rendering engine, a beta issue, or something? Can anyone with a non-retina display confirm if the font looks slightly blurry/out of focus with Sierra, especially compared to El Cap?

Learnt my lesson from last week. Will wait to hear feedback....

Think I will wait a bit longer than that. I do not look forward to having a dozen issues to resolve/lost data etc. I just do not feel as secure about updating my 3 macs these days. If you have a large NAS and keep your Itunes library on it, please post results.

Yeah my download is crawling along at between 200-500KB/s. My connection should be delivering something more like 38MB/s and in fact does at the start of the download but then slows to this almost stationary speed. I am on my 2nd attempt having tried restarting my machine to make sure it wasn't a problem at my end.

has anyone done a real benchmark comparison between El Capitan and Sierra? I don’t want to ‘upgrade’ if this is going to slow down my system, and I haven’t been able to find a real comparison online.

iMac 2011
GeekBench 4 for El Capitan Single Core 64 Bit is 3143 Quad Core 7644
Sierra Single Core 64 bit 3553 Quad Core 8270

So definite improvement.

Making my USB installers now. Yay. I hope this is as seamless as El Capitan was. That was the first OS X update that didn't require some serious reworking of all my development tools. I don't want to bother with a clean install since that'll happen whenever new MacBooks are out anyway.

Server is now at 5.2 after updating to Sierra.

15min here in Sweden

Looks like my job for tonight is my annual fresh install! It may not be necessary but I do it out of habit and to keep my mind at peace. Clearing out a year's worth of hidden cache and junk files feels good!

Annual! Psh, it's at least biannual for me.

15min here in Sweden

get outta here

 

[robinp]

I think Apple must be having problems with their network in the UK - it should only take me just over 2 mins to download *yawn*

 

[imran5720]

My download is still showing 10 mins remaining. My wife's download is at 13 hours. Interesting.

But you dont have to download it twice
download it once, copy installer from Applications folder and install on other system

 

[maverick2007]

Installed and disabled Siri! I have never used Siri on my phone or ipad or MBPR. MBPR MID 2014 is faster than before, like the overall updates except useless Siri.

 

[chado53]

i'm not seeing the update. i'm currently on the beta? can i not upgrade from the beta to the official release?
