In the latest (15.39) version of Excel, new workbooks open with missing column headers, and with row headers displayed upside-down (see attached), but the problem corrects itself as soon as you scroll.

After more than two years of bug fixes Office for Mac 2016 still not a polished product ready for "prime time". Good thing support for 2011 is expiring next month. Nice work Microsoft!

I am exploring alternatives now. I will be tinkering with using Apple... Pages, Numbers, Keynote and Mail. At least they're free and get regular updates, bug fixes, etc.. There is also free Open Source LibreOffice for Mac which is cross platform with Windows.

Has anybody managed to get CrashPlan Pro working with High Sierra? Working fine with 10.12.6 but cannot contact backup server as soon as I upgrade to 10.13. I've reinstalled CrashPlan Pro but it doesn't help. I've had no prompts to allow a kernel extension for it.

The actual error message CrashPlan Pro is giving is "Destination unavailable - not available"

I use both 2011 and 2016... mostly 2016 but there are 'things' that I need 2011 for. sigh.

contact them, they have great support. crashplan has worked thru the betas, and now the final HS, for me, on both my macs...

Anyone's knowing what is the best working torrent client for the latest release of High Sierra?

 

[Hater]

Anybody else having battery issues?

Well, battery... display issues.

The battery icon in the menu bar disappears, and only comes up when you unplug the power cable, also it never updates, is stuck on 98%.

Appears to be an issue only with the display, the laptops actual charging and time on battery is all working as per normal

 

[elf69]

mine works but take between 1 and 2 hours to go from 98% to 100%.

still get 5 hours or more battery run time though.
Im running and old 2010 macbook so cannot complain about that!

I did - they were very apologetic but said that they couldn't help me because High Sierra is not officially supported yet

try again; high sierra is now 'official'. plus they helped me very recently. have them walk you thru restarting the app (or whatever they suggest)...

No, I mean that they don't support their CrashPlan Pro client on 10.13 yet. He said he would put my ticket on hold then contact me when they do officially support it.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it's still not working.

I don't know if anyone here uses Skitch, but I'm having trouble using that in HS. Dragging and dropping the file handle (to do something with the capture) often hangs the program, but even if it doesn't, I get a blank image - I have to specifically 'Export' to a folder first.

Anyone know of any comparable screen-capture tools? I really like Skitch's ability to not have to specifically save my screenshot before dragging it to an IM or website's droppable widget (like the MR Forums), so that is an important feature.

Parallels 12 doesn't work.

try them again (really, they helped me recently, and i was running a beta). there's a process they can either initiate, or walk you thru, to restart the app/reconnect it to the destination.

First post says omnidisksweeper is deprecated. It's not, and working builds can be downloaded at https://omnistaging.omnigroup.com/omnidisksweeper/.

Can anyone tell me what this callhistory.sync is or what is actually supposed to be there? I noticed this after the update. This is in the Siri settings under Siri Suggestions. The last two items on this list are Notes and Safari. Thanks.

So, if by magic, it's working today

Maybe it was something at their end yesterday...

Sound preferences do not work for me. "Could not load Sound preferences pane". Also, web browsers of all kinds are almost not functional. Took me about 5 minutes and a reinstall of the OS to get here to post this

Hi! I encountered that problem too. Could you find a fix? Air 11'' 2013.
p.s. Also display blinks intermittently. It is awful. The worst update for me in my life..

updated: possible decision is to delete /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/InstantOn.driver/Contents/MacOS/InstantOn if it exists.

Maybe so or maybe not, but it's unfair to use my bug as evidence either way, because the version in question is a prerelease ("Insider Fast") build.

Moreover, the bug is fixed in build 15.40 (170926), released as a Fast Insider update today.

I should have probably been clearer about what I meant by "the latest version" in my original post; I have no idea whether or not the bug is present in any non-prerelease build.

Got hidden start up items to work by removing them all.
Reboot, then add them back and all good again.

Letter Opener 10.0.0 is released and works with HS.

List claims quicksilver works. I am hesitant since the new file system seems like it would be a big change for it to handle, and I don't see evidence that anyone works on it anymore.

Can anyone confirm?
Does anyone use it besides me?
I don't know how to work a computer without it.

EDIT: Works fine.

The latest Quicksilver 1.5.6 doesn't work for me. There's no "works with issues" designation on the first post, but I'd put into that category if possible. For me, it is hanging frequently when I type a search and will freeze with partial text in the box before crashing. If I go into the "Triggers" pane of settings it also crashes immediately.

I'm trying to find an applicable bug on their issues tracker.

----
Update:

Found my bug. There were indeed crash reports for Quicksilver hidden inside "~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/" which, when I open them, all referenced a call to "recentDocumentsForBundle" which triggers the path of the crash. This function is cited in a recently filed defect which seems like a match:

"Recent Documents are broken under High Sierra #2396"
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/2396

I tried to go under "catalogue" settings and go to User -> Recent Items -> Recent Documents and uncheck it, but it's still crashing.

Not sure why this isn't more widely reported *shrug*. Seems like it's a potentially common thing that could be hit because it boils down to referencing a deprecated data class.
