Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me...
I used to be on Mojave, but I need to downgrade to High Sierra in order to be able to use Nvidia web drivers for Cuda. Long story short, my hard drive died in the process, got it fixed at the Apple Store and asked them to install High Sierra while doing so.
I get my iMac back today, with High Sierra 10.13.6. I go download the webdriver from Nvidia's website, but when I try to open it, it says "Mac OS X version 10.13.6 (17G9016) is not supported with this package. Please see NVIDIA’s website for further driver information." Seems like the last build supported is 17G8037, which can't be downloaded anywhere. I found online a build 17F77 (10.13.5) and figured I'd try that, but Apple doesn't sign it anymore, so the installer won't even open.
Chatted with Apple Support and they say they can't do anything and that possibly my only option is to downgrade even further back to Sierra, hoping the latest build of Sierra is supported.
I am pissed. Had I known back when I bought my iMac that paying MORE money to get the UPGRADE to the best GPU still wouldn't ensure it'd be supported down the line, I probably would've saved my money. People seem to think this is a pissing contest between Nvidia and Apple, but the sutomer is the one having to deal with all this...
Anyone knows of a way I could get the 10.13.5 (17F77) version installed even though it isn't signed anymore? Any more option?
