I really hate High Sierra

[EnderBeta]

I installed High Sierra on my 2012 Mac Mini. Before the update it worked great as a iTunes server. After installing High Sierra iTunes runs horrible. I have to restart iTunes or the entire machine to get it to behave correctly.

Now I get a system update for the machine and try to install it and it gets stuck about 75% of the way done.

WHO QUALITY CHECKS APPLE'S UPDATES?!!!!

I talked with Apple Care and they say it is the Mac Mini and it is out of warranty. I want to scream so bad. It worked fine before installing High Sierra. I'm done buying Apple products. Unbelievable deflection of responsibility on bricking a machine in a update for a horrible buggy mess.

I'm so mad. I'm going to sell our two iMacs, the other Mac Mini, the MacBook Pro, Apple TV3, Apple TV4, and the phones and iPads and get this junk out of the house.

I'll give you $1.25 for the lot.

But did you update iTunes as well?

You can downgrade iTunes

Hmmm, no problems with my 2012 Mac Mini - judging from your post - I'm going to guess the issue is elsewhere; maybe somewhere between the chair and keyboard. Good luck.

Don't you have a backup from a previous working version that you can re-install? Or is it somehow completely bricked?

Mine did this too. I booted from recovery mode (command + r) and re downloaded and installed and it worked fine. I think it's a common issue.

I’ll see your buck and a quarter and raise you $10.

Exactly, it's more likely an iTunes issue rather than a High Sierra issue. Upgrading or if necessary downgrading iTunes would be the the thing for the OP to try before tossing out all of his Macs.

I bid $15, but I entered in $100, so until it goes over that, it’s all mine. All mine I tell you.

$115 for the mini.

Actually, there’s more than a few MacRumors forum members who are pretty active with macOS Dev and Public betas. IIRC, there is something like 500+ High Sierra threads posted here during the initial beta period...

That’s weird. I have a 2012 MacBook Air that had problems with Photos (after the High Sierra upgrade). I hit up Apple Support through the web (which resulted in them calling me right back), and they had no problems trying to help me figure it out.
