Failed install of 10.13.1 twice. After restart screen is black. Left it for a few minutes still nothing so I restarted again and it just reloads 10.13 with a message saying computer shut down as result of a fault. 4.1 flashed to 5.1. Looks like 10.13 will be my final upgrade/update
Metal is back. Newly installed AMD drivers (37 of them) had version 1.58.32, and the older 1.58.30. Same date, though. Apparently, the post install did not work?
I just replaced them from yesterday's backup, and all is fine (except red bug was not fixed, as I believed before realizing there was no hardware acceleration).
I guess this is going to be a routine with new updates.
I have a MBP 5,5 with SSD(APFS)-13 inch, mid-2009 MacBook Pro
Through Apple Store, I updated High Sierra 10.13.1 this afternoon.
After the update, Safari, Mail, and App Store do not working.
After backing up with Time Machine, I ran Automation in Onyx, and then My MBP is working in Safari, Mail, and App Store.
It shows up 10.13.1 in About This Mac, but I can't see "MacOS 10.13.1 update" in Updates installed in the Last 30 Days of App Store.

Don't use NightEnabler, use the Night Shift Patch available in the Patch Updater application.
You can find them in your Time Machine backup, in System/Library/Extensions.
They are named AMD*, for instance AMD10000Controller.kext
Thanks dosdude1. I looked there before and saw it was "installed". Reinforced with your suggestion I right-clicked and chose the "re-install" option. Without your advice I wouldn't have had any idea this could be reinstalled this way.
Just noticed in my Console app, lots of entries for com.apple.WebKit.WebContent reporting current memory footprint. It seems to be logged continually. I know you can hide the messages in the Console app but I'd rather they weren't logged at all. Tried disabling the logging by using
%sudo log config --subsystem 'com.apple.WebKit.WebContent' --mode "level: off"
as recommended by someone on the internet, but it hasn't stopped the logging, even though
%sudo log config --status --subsystem com.apple.WebKit.WebContent
reports it being OFF.
Any ideas?

Search "macOS Night Shift Enabler.mpkg", reinstall and reboot.
Night shift works other time for me, but I have had reinstall other time 10.13
So after clearing the software update catalogue via Terminal have now installed the update and this old Mac Pro 2008 is working fine, managed to restore previous 'hacked' core brightness framework to replace new core brightness framework, now got NightShift back working.
Unfortunately I do not see the update via the App Store...however after a little while after the clearing option posted the app store gives me the update options. However during the update I just got a great screen with frozen incomplete progress bar. Left it sit overnight and woke up to it still in that state. Rebooted and still same. Ended up doing clean update from USB and back in business. Thanks.

After installing/Running Automation, from Onyx v3.8.8
All my issues have been resolved. Safari, Mail, App Store and iTunes working as expected.
Thank you
Thank you figyu, I had the same problem with Safari not connecting to the internet on my Mac Pro 3,1 MacOS 10.13.1. Ran the free download Onyx in Automation and now its all working.
I just can't figure out why my MBP 5,5 doesn't see any of the updates. I keep clicking the "Update" button and it just keeps telling me "No Updates Available." I've check the App store several times today but nothing has changed. I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Do you have the Software Update Patch installed? (Check in Patch Updater, right click and select "re-install"). Also ensure Software Update Catalog is cleared (posted earlier about how to do this).
Thanks Dosdude1. I DO have the Software Update Patch installed. Re-installed but that didn't solve the problem. Cleared the Software Update Catalog in Terminal. I didn't copy the exact wording but it said something like "update changed to Apple Production." I restarted the computer and checked for the updates in the App Store. Took a couple of tries hitting the Update button, but finally the updates showed up. (Back when you were working on the Sierra updates, wasn't there a patch by someone (maybe you?) where the source of updates was changed? Wonder if my 'source' never got changed back to Apple?)
Whatever...thanks again Dosedude1 for sharing your knowledge.
