I just updated to tonight's Public Beta too... Those new App Store and Maps app from the iOS 11 beta today are also in the High Sierra beta now too!
Got a tip for us?

To answer the question: No, I am not using Apple Watch beta.
After a couple shut downs the Apple Watch sign on button in Security came back on. Very odd.
I should also know by tomorrow if they fixed the backup problem I reported last week. About every 3rd or 4th backup High Sierra can't find the backup drive. It has done 3 successful backups in a row now so hopefully that is fixed now.
Thanks for the update on the Apple Watch sign on issue. I’m glad to know High Sierra sorted things out on its own.
I had not noticed the backup issue — though I haven’t been diligent in confirming backups were successful as it’s been so reliable that I just set it and forget it.
With your update I’m inching towards trying the update as the graphics glitch issue doesn’t appear widespread.
@ Matt Gonzalez why do you insist on calling the OS High C-Era. There is no pause between "Si" and "erra". Your last name is Gonzalez, you should know how to pronounce latin words like Sierra!
How many more betas are y'all expecting before the final release? The release notes indicate a number of fairly serious known issues, and the introduction of a new default file system is a good reason for Apple to be more cautious than usual.
Think we'll hit double-digit betas? (If so, I wonder how that compares to previous releases.) Perhaps a late Fall .0 release?

I keep getting this message in Safari
"You have been redirected through this website from a suspicious source. We prevented it and you are going to be redirected to our safe web site."
In Chrome, no problems, no redirecting, it takes me to the right site.
How can I stop this on Safari. Thanks

There's a man page for it, so it does appear to be there. Apple first enabled the ability to use TRIM on third party SSDs in the Summer of 2015. I don't think that they would take it away, but you never know with them sometimes!
DO NOT INSTALL Beta 6, it will bork your iCloud account. When the update finished, I saw a message that read, "Your iCloud account has been locked for security reasons". WTF, it has been working fine for years.
I tried to "fix" the issue by following Apple's steps and the service would not update my password and now I am locked out. Great!!! My business is dependent on my ability to access my account and data.
Sigh... now I have to call Apple support.

Am I going to be the first to ask why you are running beta software on your production machine?
Try unchecking "Prevent cross-site tracking". But I never saw that message you got with it enabled. Maybe because Adguard is blocking all trackers anyway for me.

Is 2FA activated? Without it I regularly got similar messages and just had to change my Password and set up new security questions on appleid.apple.com. Already before High Sierra and iOS 11.
It appears the backup issue is also resolved. Last night the backup ran every hour as it is supposed to do. Also, to clarify I am using a LaCie 4G USB-c drive with Time Machine for my backups on the iMac. My MacBook Pro also running beta uses WIFI to back up to my Time Capsule. It did not have the backup issue of not finding the drive.
This morning I sat down in front of the iMac, touched the space bar and it signed on immediately with my Apple Watch. They not only fixed the issue it is a lot faster than logging on before this update.

Never mind, I just have to click the link a few times and after closing a few windows, it brings to the right link. Thanks, I did uncheck the box as well
I have had 2FA for quite some time so the "security" issue was quite surprising. Secondly, High Sierra is on a second partition. Regardless, you still need to use the iCloud services in order to access ones files, mail, calendar, even for testing purposes. Going back to my main partition did not help.
After waiting several hours, I did manage to access my iCloud account but I needed to use 2FA a couple of times and change my password.
So, no BS was involved.
Excellent news. Thanks for the clarification and update. I’m in!
Public Beta 4 crashed while installing, and after I restored to 3, won't install at all. (cycles through and then reboots before completion) I hoped beta 5 would show up now, but I"m still only seeing beta 4, which will still not properly install.
