Could someone with a 3rd party SSD verify if the app "SSD Fan Control" is still working?
I can't find anything on the net.
Do you mean SMC fan control? SSDs dont typically have fans.
No, SSD Fan control, a free version of all these fan control apps (with 3rd party SSD's installed on older iMACs the Mac thinks the "HDD" is hot as lava and the fan needs to run 100% - all the time)
Well, heres a fun APFS problem Im having. Deleting files is not freeing up space. Seriously. And now I can just fucking sit here and watch my free space ticking down like a countdown constantly because space isnt being reclaimed when files get deleted or changed. Currently booting into recovery and running first aid to see if that fixes anything.
I have no idea why macOS starts hitting swap when the memory pressure is so low but seems High Sierra hasn't addressed that.
Does upgrading to High Sierra also install iTunes 12.7?

I don't think so. I've made a clean install of High Sierra and I had to download the 12.7 update for iTunes.
So how does someone like me benefit from this new hard drive file system? Mine is just a plain old HDD iMac. Because so far i'm struggling to find any new features in this years update.
PLEASE HALP
my mac book mini (2012) downloaded the macos high sierra and during the upgrade process something happened and the mini never upgraded completely. now when i try to boot up it shows "kernel panic" message and gets stuck at the login screen. i am unable to proceed any further. i've tried clearing the NVRAM and SMC and all kinds of other things, but no luck
do i just load the macos package on a usb and use that to boot and re-flash the mini?
Same. The "Verifying (filename)" issue is something I've seen reported on other forums too.Ever since upgrading I noticed that opening large files is very slow. I notice this especially with movie files (doesn't matter with which program I open them). The larger the file the longer it takes. For a particularly large file (10GB) it takes a couple seconds, then a small window with progress bar pops up which says Check "filename"... and after a few more seconds the file finally opens.
Anyone else experiencing this? I have filevault deactivated.

Apparently the update is automatically quarantining files and messing up the read/write permissions. Amateur hour over at Apple with this release.
Yup. There's not a single feature I care about in this update. I haven't even installed it yet and I don't even feel like doing so.

Pretty sure the issues are to do with Boot Camp. Parallels works just fine.Has anyone who uses Parallels to run Windows upgraded to High Sierra yet? The switch to APFS appears to cause problems with Windows and it's the only thing keeping me from updating at this point. I just upgraded to Parallels 12 a couple months ago, and it looks like I'll have to upgrade again to make it work on HS, which effectively makes this a paid upgrade for me.
Right, its an issue if you want to do a VM of your Boot Camp partition. Its the best feature of Parallels.Pretty sure the issues are to do with Boot Camp. Parallels works just fine.
I wanted to install the new MacOS yesterday but it got stuck during the installation process, so that I had to shut the device down. After that, it got stuck in an error loop. Had to re-download and re-install the OS from the recovery menu.
Luckily that worked.
Works well on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015). Much, much snappier than before. But filesystem is still Mac OS Extended.
Huh. Have only put SSDs into Minis, Mac Pros, and MacBook Pros and haven't run into this.
The update isn't even there for me. What gives?

I thought there was a terminal command for this? I know there's a terminal command to turn it *on* on newer Macbook Pros where it's off by default. I would have assumed the opposite was also a thing. Maybe it's just built into the hardware?All I really care about in MacOS updates is the ability to turn the startup chime OFF permanently. No app or terminal command fuckery has been successful in this regard.
Can I just say that Wacom sucks. Their drivers won't be ready for HS til next month, and the drivers for Sierra are to this day completely borked. I wish they had some real competition.
Why the crap is there no native layer for using an iPad + Pencil as a graphics tablet attached to a Mac yet?
I think Craig mentioned this in passing in the last year, making them work better together with the mac instead of making macs touchscreen, but I don't see it yet. There are apps that do it ok.
