Don’t Install if You Are Worried About macOS High Sierra Problems | ||||||||||||||||

Are you the kind of person who hates problems that pop up when you are the first to install new software? While there was a lengthy beta to squash bugs and allow developers time to deliver updates to apps you may still see some macOS High Sierra problems. Now that December is here, there are fewer issues, but there are still issues with macOS High Sierra. If you don't want to be the person who needs to deal with these you should wait a few weeks to install macOS High Sierra. This will allow other people to do the testing and it will save you the trouble of figuring out how to fix them or the hassle of downgrading to macOS Sierra. You can also check to see what apps work with macOS High Sierra and more importantly, which ones don't at this list. Some users should still consider waiting to see what is next as Apple is going through a rough patch of macOS High Sierra issues. The update is better than in 2017, but still not perfect, especially with external displays. | ||||||||||||||||

Same question – I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013)
Seems anything over 3 months old is considered “really old” these days.

Every time I come here to read about Apple (I find this site via Google) I never get a straight answer nor opinion.
Not once do you ever dare to call the child by its name.
Are you afraid of Apple ?

Trouble with the version 10.13.4 and Safari and the slowness never seen before. I hope Apple is aware that they NEED to get a better version. I have had no problems with Firefox…

Look at the upgrade requirements information. As I recall if your Mac is 2009 or later, you should be OK.

After 50 years of writing software and managing software development programs, including operating systems, I would label the Mac high sierra software as junk software. I have version 10.13.6. Mac mail is nearly unworkable, and almost every operation leads to a spinning beachball.
Come on, guys, just make one stable version of OSX that recaptures the Mac-feel of the operating system that drew us to Macs in the first place.

Absolutely. Apple: have dancing girls careering across the screen if your sales manager imagines that’s what your 16- to 26-year old target customers want, but don’t forget, as you have done, that a lot of people actually depend on their systems WORKING, reliably, no glitches, no down-time while problems generated by your latest heap of increasingly-irrelevant software are sorted out. And glued-together hardware doesn’t impress all of us, either.
