Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 update to developers, less than one week after releasing the macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 update, the second major update to the macOS High Sierra operating system.

The macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store with the proper profile installed.

It's not yet clear what improvements the third update to macOS High Sierra will bring, but it's likely to include bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that weren't addressed in macOS High Sierra 10.13.2.

The previous macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 update focused solely on security fixes and performance improvements, with no outward-facing changes introduced.

Update: Apple has also seeded the macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 update to public beta testers.

apple is moving too fast , that's why we are getting all these bugs, focus more on stability and who cares how long it takes, yearly release not cool anymore, stay with the same os at least 2 or 3 years, not falling for it anymore, I'm not joining the hype bandwagon

New emojis as always.

Can someone check Console to see if “Month 13 is out of bounds” still shows up? I know most are still installing, just asking now. Thanks!

 

[iksnirks]

did they fix the pause/play buttons playing/pausing the wrong media yet...

 

[bryan1andersons]

If this returns iMessage syncing I'll be downloading it for sure

are you referring to iMessage in the cloud?

That'd come out with a new iOS beta I would guess?

Still showing up on first startup after installation.

First OSx came 2001 and current version is just an evolution of that made by updating it yearly

Yeah I'd assume it would be both, but the iOS hasn't been uploaded yet

Then why the big deal from OSX to macOS? it occupied a keynote segment.

Lets see if we can find any traces to when is IMac Pro coming

It was just a name change for it to be more consistent with the mobile OSes.

Mac Pro 5,1 does not wake from sleep and fan runs constantly high with AMD Vega graphics card installed. This has been an issue since 10.13.2 beta 1 and it still has not been fixed with this release (build 17D20a).

tvOS isn't mobile so that argument doesn't fly.

I think he means the lower-case beginning with "OS" after, like iOS. Edit: and watchOS

 

[chucker23n1]

So, “other” instead of “mobile”, then.

 

[sdz]

Will this introduce APFS to FusionDrives ?

 

[RyanXM]

did they fix the pause/play buttons playing/pausing the wrong media yet...

That isn't a bug. High Sierra was programmed to control whatever media is currently "active". If iTunes is the only program active, it will control iTunes. If you have a YouTube video playing, it will control YouTube. There is a program that will revert back to the Sierra way of controlling iTunes.

Yeah, it's annoying. The 10.x versions are always quite large updates that break a lot of third-party stuff and introduce bugs. I'm mainly sick of all my software breaking every single year. Like, great, I just can't use my Photoshop anymore... why the **** did I update. Oh, to use the new Xcode and to have the small security fixes.

You know exactly the point he is making.

FWIW, average delay between major releases in macOS between Jaguar (first 'serious' release) and Mountain Lion was 565 days, average since Mavericks is 378 days. That's about six months' more developing/testing during the 'Big Cat' releases than the 'Woa Dude, California' releases.

 

[WatchFromAfar]

You know exactly the point he is making.

No lets not pretend derivatives of iOS have to be classed as mobile; they do not and tvOS is a fine example of that.

Any news on custom icons no longer bringing the Mac to its knees?
