high sierra

I have a mid 2011 iMac which was working fine, but slowing down a bit, so I preemptively had the HD replaced by an authorized Mac repair. He put High Sierra on it, but since then, the fans are blowing crazy (lots of folks are having this problem it seems) and I don't see any improvement over El...

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro and starting a couple weeks ago while not doing any intensive work just browsing basic websites, my computer froze up and then shut down. It gets really hot above the keyboard, freezes, and then shuts down. Here are my specs: Late 2013 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 Dual...

Hi. I could not get Brigadier to work for me, so I did some tinkering and I seem to have successfully installed the Apple Drivers on Windows 7 Ultimate, located on its own internal HD, on my Mac Pro (running either High Sierra or Mojave). Can the experts in this forum provide feedback please...

I finally talked my mom into replacing her 2008 MacBook (El Capitan 10.11.6) with a 2019 iMac (Mojave 10.14.5). Last year I bought her a WD Passport Ultra 1Tb to serve as her Time Machine. I have a 2016 MacBook Pro (High Sierra 10.13.6). I backed her 2008 MacBook up tonight with her Passport...

Hello! I'm having problem with my new 2TB Samsung SSD for media files on my Mac Pro with High Sierra. It seems to be working well according to the disk utility but sometimes I reboot and it doesn't appear (like is not connected) and when I shut down the mac entirely then it appears when I turn...

Hi everyone, does someone have the same issue I am experiencing with PDF files? The selection and highlighting of the text is totally random and messed up. With small PDF files it seems to be ok but with large PDF is a mess. Same issue with Mojave and High Sierra on two different machines, both...

I have a MacBook Pro with the T2 chip. It came with High Sierra preinstalled. When I Get Info the Macintosh HD on High Sierra, it says the Format is APFS (Encrypted). I have recently upgraded to Mojave and now it says the Format is APFS. It is no longer APFS (Encrypted). I did not do a clean...

Ok little bit of history, it's a old mid 2011 imac, its last supporting OS is High Sierra, but ever since El Capitan I've been trying to update my OS and I've constantly run into numerous issues, I never really got too into fully fixing the issues coz I'd eventually give up trying for hours...

Hi guys, I know a lot of people have been having troubles with bootcamp after installing High Sierra, not being able to install Windows, or not being able to boot into the mac partition when they were using the windows partition using bootcamp, but my situation is a bit different, I think. I...

Everything from slow speed, erratic mouse behavior, text dropping off from keyed entries to slow wifi speeds have occurred since updating to Mojave. How long will Apple be supporting High Sierra? I'm thinking of retrofitting to High Sierra. Has anyone ever gone back to an earlier OS until the...

Hello So, I've been using maya forever and have just made the leap to redshift and GPU rendering. Purchased a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1080ti gaming for my 2010 12 core mac pro 5,1 , 64 GB ram with High Sierra. Pleased with the render results I went ahead and purchased a Geforce GTX 1070ti...

Hello, One day ago before the latest mozilla update which fixes the disabled addons etc., I followed an article prompting to enable (about:)studies. I did that and addons were back, while waiting for the fix. Now the fix is realeased, but in the about:studies, i still see 4 items that were not...

Hi, I have recently done an upgrade of my mom's MacBook Air 2012 from Sierra to High Sierra. I entered her iCloud details during the installation, and afterwards signed her out again, so all the calendar and contact info disappeared from the macbook as expected. However, the text messages she...

cMP 5,1 (flashed) running High Sierra with recently installed BT/wifi upgrade PCIe card (Broadcom) w/external antenna. The old (factory) BT card, which had quit, has been removed and replaced by USB dongle. After installing the new card around a month ago, all devices, including Apple keyboard...

Hi. I have just installed High Sierra on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1. Everything works fine, except Photoshop CC gives me a message saying I need at least 512mb of VRAM to render Flame, Picture Frame, Tree and 3D. I am using an ATI Radeon 5870 GPU. This card has 1GB of RAM, so I don't understand why...

I'm pretty sure before I updated to Mojave from High Sierra on my 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1) I had hardware GPU acceleration working in Adobe Premiere. I'm assuming this is an effect of having to patch the video card drivers in the Mojave patcher, though I could just be misremembering it from also...

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I have just installed dosdude1's High Sierra Patcher on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1. The Patcher installed fine, I managed to run the installer, then that completed and went to reboot (as it should have). My issue is that now the machine seems to try to boot up, but shuts off...

I never gave up on iTunes 10.7 and got it to work on Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra without losing Mac App Store’s (MAS) functionality. Might also work on Mojave (but I haven’t tested it yet). Here are the steps I follow to revert iTunes 12 to 10.7...

I had El Capitan on this iMac what felt like forever. The HD was showing signs of failure about a month ago (SLOOOOW boot up, mouse stuttering, erratic behavior, "chugging" of the HD.) I backed everything up, installed the SSD. No problem, it feels great now. I then took the dive and clean...

Hi folks! I recently replaced my 2011 iMac's failing internal hard drive with a nice, spacious 4TB chonker, and decided I could spare the room for a Windows partition again — it's been a few years, and there are a few Windows-only games I wouldn't mind trying to play again. Thing is, my iMac...
