high sierra (mac os 10.13)

Just a technical inquiry about Mojave. I'm considering a new- or refurbished-hardware-purchase in the coming months. Could be a 27-inch iMac i7 or a MacBook Pro 13-inch 17 w/ eGPU. Either setup would include an external monitor. I am concerned about window management when using multiple programs...

Excuse my ignorance but I’m trying to weed out a multimedia issue I’m having with my Mac Pro and IPhone 7+. Is it normal that loopback is open and active on 4-6 ports at any given time? Even if I turn off WiFi and I open a terminal window and use lsof -i I can see processes open and an...

My wife's cMP 3,1 with updated WiFi/BLE has been running 10.13.5 on a Fusion drive with HFS+. It has 16GB of RAM and an Apple Radeon 4870. A spike knocked out part of the RAM (waiting for replacement, now on 8GB) and the card. I replaced it with an Apple Radeon 5770. But the graphics system was...

Hi All, Perhaps I can borrow your collective genius. Last year I took the plunge and bought a Mac Pro 5,1 and separately purchased a non-flashed (PC version) GTX 1080. After some jiggery-pokery I got everything running just fine on Sierra 10.12.6. All has worked basically pretty well since...

For some reason the update from Sierra to High Sierra on my Mini 2012 went wrong. I know I should have made an update, but I got lazy when everything went fine for three years. So when I got stuck in recovery mode, I was realy stuck. The only install option in recovery mode erases the entire...

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro currently using OSx 10.8.5. Looking to finally upgrade to High Sierra. I bought this laptop off ebay "pre-loaded" with creative software (I think primarily volume licenses, but I have no way of knowing) that is my lifeline -- final cut pro (7), adobe creative suite...

Hey, everyone! I have just installed a 250 GB Samsung 850 EVO as a second drive on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro. Now this hard drive was purchased second hand from a re-seller. I removed the optical DVD drive and replaced it with the SSD using a caddy. The Mac can see the drive, but it says that...

I followed the instructions at http://osxdaily.com/2017/11/22/use-touch-id-sudo-mac/ to use Touch ID to authenticate sudo from the command line. Alas, it is a clumsy implementation. Instead of the Terminal window permitting use of Touch ID being the front window (with a pink fingerprint), it is...

For some reason, since recently (perhaps even today, after installing the MacOS 10.13.3 Supplemental Update), I can't launch "Time Machine.app" to enter the Time Machine file restore interface. When I double-click the app, nothing happens. It doesn't appear in Activity Monitor, etc. What...

Hello! I am running High Sierra 10.13.4 Beta (17E150g). After updating I discovered i wasn't able to load a Photoshop update. I started trouble shooting Creative Cloud and long story short I removed all Adobe/Creative cloud App/folder and ran the Adobe Cleaner tool to start fresh. When I went...

My hard drive crashed right before Christmas and I had to replace it. Before replacing the drive my iMessage worked perfectly fine but after swapping in a new one and getting my OSX back to the point it was, I haven't been able to send any pictures from my Mac. When I check the file transfer...

Noticed my iMac was being a little laggy and while looking through Activity Monitor, I noticed that there were open processes for websites that I currently had open in my browser, but also for others that I had open earlier, but were no longer open in the browser. I thought this a little...

I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro that is currently running MacOS Sierra 10.12.6. I was wondering whether update the mac to High Sierra is a good idea in terms of performance. Actually my mac is very performing, considering the age and the fact that it is not the most recent model. Last year I...

I am revamping my Mac Pro going back to Sierra and upgrading: - no APFS - staying with 10.13.1 until Sleep and slow boot are fixed But I do not have an older installer. Does anybody know a download location for 10.13.1?
