Apple Seeds Second Beta of macOS High Sierra to Developers

APFS, yes?
10.12.5 could not mount some types of 17A264c APFS volume.
That's useful, thanks for sharing.
I converted one of my two APFS installations to FileVault earlier – with 17A264c – I assume that I hit the same bug (or worse).
In a few of the situations where 17A264c failed to boot, I found success after working with 10.12.5. Inexplicable, but worth noting.
Mine was offered in App Store, without visiting the developer area.
Installing now, an update to the first of two installations of 17A264c.
Postscript: I wonder whether the App Store approach will leave Recovery OS outdated …

Anyone else with a jetflash sd card that keeps being disconnected randomly with high sierra? was hoping DP2 might have fixed, but still doing it. Reported now.
Interesting. I also have a problem with Sketch app on High Sierra and APFS. I thought it was just my problem.
I'm gonna try to use an ExFat stick to try my Sketch files, will report back.
Dropping support for 32 bit apps is going to be a deal breaker for many small businesses.
Yesterday I was doing my job at my non profit which includes a lot of creative materials and media. While waiting for iDVD to finish our current project I opened Activitiy Monitor and added the column to see which apps were 32 bit.
Shockingly the iLife products were 32 bit as well as Adobe Suites and Office and others.
I looked to see if Apple released an update to iLife that is 64 bit but see nothing is available. Also it looks like we have to purchase an Adobe subscription to move to 64 bit and Office had a solution.
Looks like our organization will stay on a 32 bit support desktop for some time until a solution is provided without breaking the budgets.
Personally I will remain on iOS 10 as well because of too many 32 bit apps on my 7+ Apple needs a switch to turn off the 32 bit message on iOS 10.

No, just the standard Mac OS journaled. I think since I'm running an HD it never gave me the option of using APFS.
After the startup it is still opening all the windows I used (and closed!!!) before the last shut down.
Other than to say there is lots of neat stuff it is way too early to be commenting on the OS>No reviews yet? Come on fellow forum members. You guys are getting slow.
In all seriousness, I hope this beta brings some stability. I have held off for that reason. Give me some good news so I can head to the Developer portal.
If you want stability then stay away from Mac OS betas. That being said it is better than my windows mahcine at work already.

I let beta 2 switch to APFS and had no problems. At least none that I know of. Just managed to get beta 2 installed and so far A-OK.

I suspect something is wrong. I'm running a 2015 MBP 13" and everything seems to be faster.
Yes I'm starting to suspect there's something up with my HD because it shouldn't be running like this.
Do any of you guys can turn on fileVault with APFS? I can't since day one on high Sierra. I unlock the menu but the "turn on FileVault" stays greyed out. I thought that since APFS comes with file encryption, FileVault was not needed anymore...
Thank you for the information. Seems like I need to wait and see just how fully baked it gets.
I saw Affinity for the first time in the WWDC Keynote this year, and I've bought both versions (mac & iOS) and it's great. Would love it if I could round trip from photos.
Sounds like you are getting the same Firmware verification error as I am getting on my Late 2009 21.5" iMac. Developer Beta 1 was the same. Hopefully this will fixed by the time the first Public Beta is released.
Man, glad the update came out. My rMBP Mid 2014 was running horribly on DP1. I had constant reboots anytime I used Finder.
DP2 has it running alot more stable now.

Thanks, mate.

Could it be just a macOS High Sierra issue then?
[doublepost=1498138688][/doublepost]
It is a known issue with macOS High Sierra as of now.

I am using a rMBP 15" 2015 model and there is no problem with it so far. Are your both models much older versions?
[doublepost=1498138776][/doublepost]
I believe that it certainly will.
But my rMBP is mid-2014 and the air is mid 2011. I haven't seen a kernel panic in many years. Puzzled.

What did you do to recover from it?
I REALLY hope they have a feature where you can have it go through your photos app and convert all the pictures and videos to the new smaller formats to automatically free up however many GBs... Thats a pretty obvious feature, right?
not understand this Shared by 4 volumes.
I don't know if this is normal, if indeed this is correct!
