hi
we have 4 kids, one mac.com apple id account for all purchases and 6 different apple ids for facetime and messenger.
we dont use the family sharing because we can not remove a few accounts we tried to make the first time we set it up because the children are under 13 and apple only allows 3 additional accounts.
so that high sierra is out we cant even use separate apple ids with messenger and facetime and are only asked for the password for the main mac.com id had had for all the family since 2010.
So i call apple, share my screen with someone trying o help find a solution and after 40 mins we both realized the family sharing was not designed for large families and we cant use our own unique apple ids to message each other, i told the the apple employee that i have to knock on walls now to get my kids to calm down and before i sent messages...
Anyone have a solution because we are expecting another kid already and our two oldest sons want iphones along with their ipad minis., we need to share one purchasing account and now have no way to message each other.
Not SUPPORTED and WILL NOT WORK mean entirely different things.
What MS actually said was:

Regarding communication why not use other channels like What'sUp or Skype to communicate internally with your family members?
Regarding Apple ID: We had also once a problem with Apple but of a different nature.
Having questioned the purchase of a small app, my credit card was permanently blocked and that affected at the time even free of charge updates of apps. The workaround was setting a new Apple ID with the data of my wife and her credit card. Can't you create somehow a new Apple ID "modifying" a bit the requested personal info?
Sometimes one has no choice
but use not-100%-exact information to solve a problem not solvable in another way
it seems that apple removed the option to add google talk to messenger, you can only use your apple ID.
you know what kills me, its apple and with apple we are not allowed to say the word BUG....its offensive...
think different each update, upgrade and platform, its starting to get t to me, i skipped 3 os systems, in fact i went to high sierra from OS 10, everything ran perfect and i did not think there was a need for messenger, but now with kids why not...
We purchased over $1300 of app stuff from apple with our main ID, its a silly .MAC (errrrr) we cnat even get emails with it any more.
Now Apple wants everyone to have their own Apple ID and limit it to 5 in families, this is not fair if you ask me, it seems at the time they decided this no one expected people to buy so many devices.
Anyway, Skype again it is... (microsoft)...again Apple fails us.

Thanks everyone, and to be sure, do you have and use Outlook 2011 in your Office suites and it's working on High Sierra? I thought Outlook 2011's sensitive/picky database file format wouldn't get along well with APFS. IIRC last year's Sierra update broke it and MS had to patch the issue.
I ask because, Outlook isn't included in all the Office suites.

Yup, that's the Office suite I have (Home & Business). I'd be pretty happy if I could continue on with 2011 a bit longer in High Sierra, if it's still functional.
Main reason is because M$ removed this handy profile switcher at launch and you have to use the cumbersome database utility in 2016 to switch profiles.

For some reason, I can't edit the wiki.
PSBQuickLook is reported by the author to not work with High Sierra, and he doesn't expect to be able to make a functional version soon due to response from Apple technical support.
Skim doesn't work (highlights of pdfs are opaque), and again the author is not hopeful that he can fix this.
Can someone edit the comments re Scrivener? Their technical support lead says that all bugs have been resolved as of Sept 26. http://literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39741&p=238715&hilit=high+sierra#p238715

Unable to make Photo's print Letter sized Photo's. Without regard to settings, all photo's are cropped to 8x10 size, however same printer, same printer settings seem to work with Pixelmator
TechTool Pro 9.5.3 is confirmed to NOT work by it's Publisher Micromat and they have a note on their site saying that it is not compatible and:
MicromatTech 3 said in a forum in response to a question if it was compatible:
No. Please do not use TechTool Pro 9.5.3 with High Sierra.
I do not have an estimate for when the update will be available. In addition to working under a new operating system, the new version would have to have some support for Apple's completely new and still not fully documented filesystem.

Just to confirm... are you using APFS? The reason I ask is because a page I found at a page to purchase Microsoft for Office 2016 for Mac claimed that one of the requirments was "Required Hard Disk Space 6GB HFS+ Disk Format". Of course that was written before APFS existed, so hopefully untrue.
I have Office for Mac 2011 Home and Business and would really like to continue using it. Even though Microsoft claims it is unsupported after October 10, the updater downloaded and installed Version 14.7.7 on October 16 without problems.

I have six kids so welcome to the big family club!
We use family sharing with six IDs right now, with a mix of adult, teen, and under-13.
If you want to have multiple people use messenger, etc. on macOS then best to create separate accounts on the Mac. Then each person logs in to the mac using their own account, and within their account they can use their own Apple ID for messenger, etc.
(On a side note, with a big family it's especially hard to monitor/control what your kids are doing online. I highly recommend Disney Circle.)
I have a problem with three (2tb,3tb and4tb) external hard disks on my iMac/High Sierra. They would not show up on finder at startup and are impossible to read although they show up in Paragon settings. And there seem to be nothing wrong with them. Does anyone know something or have met the same problem?
Hi everyone, just to let you know that little snitch 3.8 added compatibility for High Sierra. I just updated OSX and had in mind that I would need to buy a new LS licence, but it just worked. So I googled and found the release notes on ObDevs Website:
https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/releasenotes3.html
I can't edit the first post, probably because I'm too new (post count wise). If anyone could just add v3.8 next to v4.0 there, this might be helpful to some.

same manufacturer, or different ones? did this start immediately after installing HS? try resetting the SMC, and the PRAM (you can google for your specific mac model)....
Adium, I hadn't thought of it in almost a decade! You made me smile...
Mee too!, I have no problems launching Office 2011 in High sierra, altough I have it installed only for emergencies.
Don't know about spotify, but I don't have any problems with slack version 2.8.2 (downloaded from the app store) and High sierra 10.13 (with supplemental update).
I can't update from the most recent public beta to 10.13.1. It never finds it, even when I removed my machine from the beta process.
Splashtop Business & Splashtop Streamer, both v3.1.6.0, both work - I don't seem to be able to edit the original post.
