high sierra (mac os 10.13)

I picked up a 500GB SSD for my Early 2011 MacBook Pro and upgraded to High Sierra, which reformatted the SSD to APFS. I plan to not completely fill my disk and keep the usage under 80%. I’ve read many posts on how enabling trim has caused slow boot times and performance in APFS. Is that still...

Hi. I've seen there's a thread for High Sierra on unsupported macs, but I have some specific questions. So as I understand, Apple will stop releasing updates for macOS High Sierra in September this year, is this correct? I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 and High Sierra is the newest macOS...

Hi, My Mac Pro 5.1 has experienced a power outage, and after that I have been unable to boot it succesfully. I get to the Logo screen with the progress bar getting slowly to 100% and then it stays there. I have tried all shortcuts when booting, and I haven't even been able to get the Recovery...

I have a mid 2012 MacBook pro and I want to do a clean install. I have read that high sierra is best for the older hardware but will it be a security risk? I don't know if its Catalina but my mac is running really slow. Also I want to setup dual boot with linux. Do I partition the hard drive...

Hi Folks. I'm wondering if that's possible to have the Dark mode on my cMP2009. Yesterday I've upgraded the firmware to th 5.1 and then I've installed High Sierra without using any patcher tool (btw thanks @dosdude1). At the moment if I go to the System Settings-> Monitor there is no Night Shift...

From this thread, the Radeon Pro WX 7100 is said to be working well with High Sierra. Has anyone tried the Radeon Pro WX 7300 with High Sierra (or Mojave)?

I recently had my iMac hard drive upgraded (High Sierra, 10.13.6), and afterwards have had a problem with Keychain Access. Despite several attempts to turn off/on keychain and iCloud on my iMac, I can't seem to get Keychain Access (and therefore Safari passwords) to pull my saved iCloud...

Hi All, I have a mid-2011 iMac that I bought new. Back in those days the default OSX was Lion 10.7 Over the years I have been upgrading both hardware and OSX to get to what I am currently running: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3. Recently, I have discovered that iBooks has become corrupt, where it...

Hello, I previously found a hack that made my Utilities Folder (in the Dock) non-transparent. It didn't show the apps inside - basically it looked as if the folder was empty. I loved it but... Mistakes happen and the folder was accidentally removed from the Dock. When I put it back it was...

Till June 10th all my imported photos were showing in Imports in Apple Photos -HighSierra-MacOs 10.13.6. The Imports were split depending the day they were imported. All fine till then. After that day I imported more photos in different dates but I have hard time to find them if I don't go in...

I recently upgraded from Yosemite to High Sierra (and wish that I hadn't ... but that's another story!) The Contacts app changed in a weird way: I have a very large number of Smart Groups. Before the upgrade they behaved exactly the way they should: They had "Contains cards which match the...

I have Mojave, but I'm trying to install High Sierra on an older HD because I need to see if anything is capable of running older software on my more modern Mac 5.1. However, when I attempt to install High Sierra, it provides no options during installation, and appears to simply want to write...

What is the best way to upgrade from 10.7.2 to 13.6? Would Apple's new Control + Option+ R that updates straight to the highest OS your device can accept work, or would I miss critical firmware updates and such? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw the gpu is fine, and I know the mods...

Hi all, My Macbook Pro (13” Early 2015, running High Sierra 10.13.6)’s storage is currently taken up by system for almost all storage. I can’t seem to free space by deleting files as the system part only grows then. At the moment system takes up over 110gb of data. I’ve attached a picture of...

Hi, I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro (2018) 13 inches, it works perfectly and is up to date. Still encounter a little issue with google chrome, it's indeed the only app that takes time to open itself (5 "bounces", whereas other apps don't even bounce once), it's not a real problem since...

Whenever I put my mac to sleep and then I turn it on again, for some reason the bluetooth is turned on (I turn it off every time before closing the lid) and it won't let me turn it off or pair any device either. The only solution is to restart the computer, which is a pain in the ass. Any...
