Mac High Sierra release date Monday, 9\25\17.
First why are you even interested in a High Sierra upgrade?
As I mentioned. The concern is any upgrade with flash boot drives will destructively upgrade that drive/partition to APFS. More involved than just an OS upgrade, if there is an APFS problem you will be doing a disk reformat to restore.. The claimed problems about Fusion (or HDD) drives is they can’t use APFS at least in the initial High Sierra release, that might be a benefit not a disadvantage. Eventually APFS should be great, it looks good on paper, and HFS+ is awfully old and underpowered compared to modern filesystems like ZFS. I am not sure why Fusion matters, that’s a bad choice for any DAW system for boot or audio drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Apple will get it fixed. Interesting though that this guy chooses to let the world know on release day. On another note, I'm happy to report that Pro Tools 12.8.1 works just fine under High Sierra, fwiw.

Out of interest, do you have an SSD - and therefore convert to the new file system - or are you still on the same one as from Sierra? Seems like the new file system is the part most likely to mess with PT.

Re: Mac High Sierra release date Monday, 9\25\17.
I do have an SSD. Firmware upgraded before installation. Now running with APFS. I worked all the afternoon with PT with no issue whatsover. All my VIs are fine, all my plugins are fine. Some Finder operations are instantaneous with the new filesystem, quite impressive to be honest (I never tried the betas before), like duplicating a 1.5 GB file. Hard drives and Fusion drives will support APFS in a future High Sierra update so this will be good...

Re: Mac High Sierra release date Monday, 9\25\17.
That's good to know. I have an old HDD, so not that much for me to gain from it yet, even if I were bold enough to upgrade on the first release.
Interesting to see this from Avid. Clearly they're still unsure of it! http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=393958

Re: Mac High Sierra release date Monday 9/25/2017
Also, per Pro Tools Expert, if you're running Microsoft Office 2011, don't upgrade - it won't work at all in High Sierra.
No smart studio owner would upgrade until the dust settles and the bleeding edge adopters have upgraded and then post how they're in the middle of a session and Pro Tools won't work... firing up the popcorn...

PT 12.8.1.921 on High Sierra is running ok here too. MacbookPro 11,3 w/SSD now showing APFS scheme. (Not a studio, just a personal rig).
Word and Excel from MS Office 2011 seem fine as well, although I think we've reached the end of updates from MS on this version. Like other businesses we know ... they would prefer all customers to be making recurring annual payments. |

Re: Mac High Sierra release date Monday 9/25/2017
FYI - macOS High Sierra, released to the public today, could be impacted by a major security flaw that could allow a hacker to steal the usernames and passwords of accounts stored in Keychain.
As it turns out, unsigned apps on macOS High Sierra (and potentially earlier versions of macOS) can allegedly access the Keychain info and display plaintext usernames and passwords without a user's master password. Security researcher and ex-NSA analyst Patrick Wardle tweeted about the vulnerability early this morning and shared a video of the exploit in action.
