Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 update to developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, one week after seeding the second 10.13.6 beta.

The new macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 beta can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store with the proper profile installed.

We don't yet know what improvements the sixth update to macOS High Sierra will bring, but it likely focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that were not able to be addressed in macOS High Sierra 10.13.5.

No feature changes were discovered in the first two macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 betas, but we'll update this post if new features or notable bug fixes are discovered in the third.

Work on macOS High Sierra is wrapping up, with Apple now shifting focus to the next-generation version of macOS, macOS 10.14, which was unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 4.

And where is my 10.14 update?

 

[jayrull]

10.13.5 issues, File Vault is not working, Dashboard exits back to home screen after accessing. Eversince Tim Cook took over, so many major issues on each and every update they release.

 

[Scubaman]

Anyone any idea whether the next version of macOS (10.14) will finally support booting from RAID drives?

You mean like Display Profiles permanently changing themselves in Tiger or Home folders + user data being deleted in Snow Leopard? Oh wait.

Seriously. I've been using Macs since the early '90s. There have always, always been bugs.

No problems so far with the latest beta on a mac pro mid 2010.....

 

[Glockworkorange]

And where is my 10.14 update?

Does anyone know when we can expect public betas of macOS?

Tempted to install it....

 

[dogslobber]

DisplayLink finally fixed?

Something an androgynous child uses while making sneering comments.

...user data being deleted in Snow Leopard?

Sweet jesus, I remember that.
Isn't that the issue where you would let someone use the guest account on your mac and when they were all done and left guest mode, it would wipe all your personal files on your account?

You’ll have to forgive him. Exposure began with Lion.

Just me, or is WindowServer very laggy in recent builds?

 

[bgranz10]

Anyone have any info on a fix for a sleep/wake glitch where after long periods of sleep (usually 24 hours or more) there is a static/snowy/pinkish purple screen briefly (1-2 seconds) before the computer displays the login? I have a brand new 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro. I didn't notice the issue until after high Sierra 10.13.3.

Late June for the public beta.


"The developer preview of macOS Mojave is available to Apple Developer Program members at developer.apple.com starting today, and a public beta program will be available to Mac users in late June at beta.apple.com."

Having rebooted, it seems more specifically that WindowServer becomes more and more laggy when macOS is left running for several days. That's unfortunate.
