Any idea what's causing the problem(s)? I've hesitated upgrading to Sierra because of random reports like this.
Not sure... My specific issue with Adobe Premiere and the Ultra Key is not working properly. Not sure who's at fault, Apple or Adobe, but neither is addressing it and I need to be able to do my work.
Besides that, I really haven't had any serious issues with Sierra.
- I don't want to use p2p
- I have 500mbps DOCSIS
- I have 1 Mac and 1 PC here
Well said. Given the income and the size of the company and the number of engineers it employs, you have to wonder where the money is going and why the development anything Mac or OS X related has become so seemingly glacial, nor proceeds much beyond version 1.
My source was secondary, which I admit isn't ideal:
I accept also that just because it's planned on becoming the default FS by then doesn't mean it won't become available to end-users sooner than that. Personally, though, (and especially after the prolonged wait for the 2016 MBPs) I prefer to "prepare for the worst"—saves on disappointment.
If you're unfamiliar, take a bit of a dive into the history of NeXT. Apple of today has a LOT of the same issues of NeXT of yesteryear, not merely coincidentally. NeXT was FAMOUS for only ever accomplishing 80 percent of what they promised, and then just jumping to something new and letting the old die on the vine. It was so habitual it was a running joke. And it was one of the things that a lot of Apple people who were familiar with NeXT dreaded happening to Apple after Steve Jobs came back and put a lot of NeXT folks in charge; we warned and warned and warned about this, but much of it got swept under the rug because Apple did just enough to keep the fanboys happy. This is what happens when warnings are ignored.
The NeXT behavior was so prevalent, that the traditional "80/20 rule"—the Pareto rule—was jokingly referred to with regards to NeXT as the "80/who the f' cares" rule because they'd never EVER seem to fix that last 20% of "polish" that took 80% of the effort. And that was something early Apple prided themselves on, that last 15-20%. This was my experience in higher education in the early 90s; and at the time NeXT was REALLY going after colleges. I had a relative that was in a significant position of power at a very large state university, and Steve Jobs personally courted them trying to get them to buy NeXT… fortunately my relative was on point enough to keep forcing NeXT to meet requirements (or fail to meet them, rather), and this major state university ended up sticking with Apple rather than moving to NeXT (beyond a small number of trial units, NeXT certainly wanted to sell MANY more, but failed miserably). Perhaps ironically, one of the standout issues with NeXT at the time was with the Mail app never quite functioning as promised; Mail in OS X certainly has a heritage.
Keep in mind: do a search on "Macintosh Office" (not Microsoft office), a promise that Steve Jobs' Apple made about the Mac in 1985… to this day the closest the Mac ever got was System 7 Pro and AOCE/PowerTalk in 1993. OS X Server is kinda close, but not very coherent, and it changed internals so many times it is ridiculous. That's a LONG time to not deliver. (Windows Server eventually delivered for most people.) Steve Jobs certainly had a "thing", and "finishing" was not a part. He readily admitted he had no interest in the long play, he was always off to "new". No wonder Apple today turned out the way it has.
Thanks. It fired up fine this AM so working at the moment but will keep that in mind.
When I follow certain actions I always put a copy somewhere.
I updated to Sierra on launch and reverted back to El Capitan two weeks later. The Finder issues were just too frustrating.
No, but any effort spent on Emojis is worthy of contempt, and fixes for bugs the OS should not have shipped with do not make up for that.
I still have a working NeXT Cube and Megapixel Display in my closet. I'd say the OS X Finder is a classic example of the 80/20 rule. Even Siracusa gave up on it.
