Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS High Sierra to Public Beta Testers

I hope it's not a rush.

Is there no Boot Camp in this version? I've read somewhere that Boot Camp is not supported in this version. I wanted to update but I'm an active developer of some alternate drivers for Boot Camp (e.g. Trackpad++) so I'm especially afraid that my Boot Camp will go bananas after this HS beta

I would love to know this too. Did they fix bootcamp partitioning? Also, what if you already have bootcamp on and upgrade to 10.13?

'Enable location services' still unchecks itself immediately after I check it. Just like with DB1, DB2, PB1, PB2, and now PB3 on my 2011 MBA 11". Going back to Sierra in that machine as we speak.

Not even getting High Sierra close to my 2016 MBP 15" for a while.

Any luck on a Mac Min Late 2014 ? The first public beta didn't work for me so I am curious to retry.

Grief installing this one on my Mid-2010 iMac. (After market SSD). First it just stopped and "about my Mac" showed last week's build. I went into Apple's Beta site and it installed Build 17A291m and while I was thinking what to try next it said there was an update available. That one installed and build is 17A315i which is what it's supposed to be.

Sincerely hope this is an improvement on beta 2! Machine has been running like an oven the last couple of weeks...

I couldn't agree more. Specifically Safari has been at 99% CPU and heating up my MacBook Pro.

Installed on late-2013 13' MBP, up from the previous public beta. It did hang while installing, though, and I had to power off and on. Resumed and looks fine. Firefox bug fixed. Missing icons in Launchpad are back. Finder seems to be working (couldn't find some apps before).

Was a long install, with some whacky stuff happening on the screen, but now back up and very initial impression is that it's way better.

I hope this fixes the camera issue on my rMBP.

.. it did! Now to see if it keeps working or stops after a while like the last beta..

 

[jmgregory1]

This happened to me on the first dev beta as well. Seems to have been fixed as of dev beta 2. I’m on 3 with no issues anymore.

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe I'll give the latest version a shot.

Much improved for me. Time Machine backups are now working consistently and Safari/general networking performance is significantly improved as well. Window minimize/maximize effects are back to 60 fps. Oddly, my iMesssage app icon has disappeared on my 2017 4k iMac though

If there are any testers reading this comment; is it close to being released to the public yet?

It runs pretty well, there is the occasional bug but other than that I using it on my daily Mac and I have no issues.

 

[dogslobber]

I didn’t see the PowerPC build, only Intel?!?

 

[Crazy Badger]

Updated without any issues, but it's too slow to test anything at the minute. Will let Spotlight do it's stuff and play tomorrow, although I did notice iTunes 12.6.2 downloaded with it and that crashes when opening.

I'd be expecting another 2-4 PB's before we're getting close to a GM.

 

[peelage]

I haven't been able to open iTunes 12.6.2 since the second public beta. Anyone else having this issue? It just crashes after 'updating library'. I've been reporting it since July 19th when that iTunes was released. Today's beta doesn't appear to have fixed it.

Yep, no iTunes.

What features are they removing? Usually I wait several months after a .x upgrade since they always remove useful features

 

[antmarobel]

Started to update around 15:00, Brasília time and that white progress bar is stucked at the very end. It’s 19:41!!! (iMac Retina 27, i5 late 2014 Fusion Drive)

I'm posting this message from High Sierra public Beta3, running on a MacPro3,1.

 

[torquer]

no more google hangouts integration in imessage. I see my contacts' status, but when I send a message to them from imessage I get "the targeted service Potato has been discontinued"

Also, imessage for regular text messages works fine on my 2017 4k iMac, but oddly on my 2016 15" MBP all messages show as green rather than segregated between blue/green for text vs imessage

 

[LarryJoe33]

Store Messages in iCloud still greyed out.

 

[cdbchi]

Can anyone confirm that Amazon Prime Video won't work in Safari?

 

[dypeterc]

Looks good so far. CPU usage with 5 apps open including Safari running at 3%.

Anybody out there running the High Sierra beta on an iMac with Fusion drive? I installed the initial DB, but it messed up the Fusion drive, separating the 128gb SSD and 1tb HDD, which I was able to re-pair, but figured at that point I might want to just go back to Sierra until things are a bit more developed. I'm tempted to try again, but don't want to spend hours having to reinstall Sierra again if things are straightened out yet.

How'd you re-pair? I did the same thing but I haven't been able to get mine re-paired. Support isn't willing to help me since I'm on a PB. They told me I'd have to wait until the final release before they'd help.

PHOTOS won't run - at all now. Crashes on launch. Have tried new library. Old library. Repair library. Driving me ABSOLUTELY INSANE. An Unexpected Error Has Occurred. This is beta 3 on a virtually new latest iMac.
