And the title of hackerman goes to he who is now running macOS Sierra inside of VMWare on Windows 😂

Just switched to macOS High Sierra from Linux and I gotta say, really pleased so far with the experience. Everything is smooth, snappy and haven't encountered anything crashing yet.

Seems about right

Me: I'm not upgrading my MacOS beyond Yosemite, I am happy with my custom themes and plugins.

Manager: Guess what? You get to integrate ApplePay on our store's site. Don't forget it only works Sierra.

Me:

I just had a heart attack.

What does devRant think about Hackintosh?

I swear macOS Sierra is worse than Windows Vista, I need to type my password like 10 times to install and launch XCode...

Fucking Apple... my MacBook Pro committed suicide upgrading from High Sierra to Mojave, had to wipe the drive. After much trouble resetting my Apple ID (put the password AND the two-factor code in the password field.. who the fuck thought that up), it tells me Mojave isn't compatible with this computer.

... fine, it's a 2012 machine I can respect that, but you blew away my system to upgrade THIS WAS YOUR IDEA NOT MINE...

...and so I just try to update to El Capitan or something because I'm on FUCKING OSX LION now (swirling galaxy, so sparkle, such stars)

...and the App Store won't let me. Why?

"Software Update Required"

"To make changes to your payment information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest version of macOS."

just.

wow.

"macOS Sierra cannot be installed on '(null)'."
What a great start...

Trying to install macOS High Sierra. However the installation file seems to be corrupt. And it keeps rebooting halfway through the install cycle never allowing me to intervene and reset and revert to my previous iOS. Thanks Apple FML

Rant! Rant! Rant!

Passed whole day glaring at this screen! Internet speed maxes upto 500KB/s

Can't get my hackintosh to boot the Sierra installer. Really sick of having to play around with Hackintoshes until I have the money for a MacBook. But such is my life...

MacOS sierra is a piece of garbage

There I said it

PSA MacOS Sierra 10.12 will make any user who wasn't the original admin user a standard user, it will also reset the original admin users password back to whatever it was when the MacBook was first set up. It all just works!

Making a Hackintosh - Round 2

Also, Linux is love, Linux is life. But if I have to choose my secondary OS between Windows or macOS, I would rather have macOS. And I know about Mojave existence, but I'm stuck with High Sierra due to the lack of Nvidia drivers on Mojave

hands down the best feature of macos so far

Smells like a new laptop.

Switched to Windows 10 after using Mac for past 16 years.

Not nearly as painfull as I expected.

MacOS Sierra in VMware to make the switch even easier...

TL;DR: Read it.

Story:
Many users in devRant use Windows but then the "Arch Linux Alliance" short ALA came together to invade devRant. After some weeks, the small group FedB ("Fedora Bureau") also joined the OS Wars. When the release of Ubuntu 16.10 was near the UBO ("UbuntuBestOS Alliance") joined and was near to victory, because dpkg was faster than ever before. But then the macOS Defenders woke up. They finally finished the upgrade to Sierra and tried to fight the other OSes. They wanted to attack with their package manager, but that attack failed. After days of war Windows crashed while updating, which made it unoperational. They called it Blue Screen. After windows gave up, the other groups realized, that they are all built with the same base. They called it Unix. They grouped up (except macOS, because they just want to make money) and discovered the remains of Windows. They found a software named "Ubuntu bash for Windows". Everyone in the group was angry, because UBO teamed up with Windows. They destroyed UBO and continued.

To be continued.
Should it continue? Comments...

TLDR; macOS wouldn’t update to the version I needed because I have a 3rd party SSD. All I needed was a firmware update only found deep within a google search and a secondary SO answer.

I have a video edit project this weekend. No big deal.

Except that the Final Cut Pro project was saved in the latest version of FCPX, for which I need latest MacOS version

As a music producer on the side, I had heard the new file system of MacOS High Sierra would possibly break audio plugins. I didn’t bother updating until now. Looked further into plugin problem, it would be simply a broken hard link which I can easily fix. No big deal.

Except that I have upgraded my MBP SSD from 256gb to this 3rd party 480gb SSD. macOS does not recognize this SSD as compatible with update. No big deal. Simple google search for a terminal command would do the trick.

Except that I found and tried several solutions, including wasting an entire hour updating the original ssd and booting from that to try to update it.

Nothing worked, but deep down in the google search, found in a secondary answer on SO, there was a link for a beta release of a firmware update for the SSD that took two minutes to install, and I was finally able to update.

That firmware update needs to be more prominent everywhere. Wasted well over 3-4 hours updating crap, swapping out SSDs, and googling when all I needed was a fucking firmware update.

What a mess is it to reset a Macbook...

Can someone tell me what does this mean? Every time I reboot my MAC ( MacOs Sierra: MacBook air: version 10.12) Every time i reboot and put in the password for my login this pop up keeps popping up once I'm login. I try finding the keychain first aid, but it doesn't have it. I know this isn't ranting but if someone fix this befor3 can you help please.

I was so close to getting my macOS virtual machine fully working on my Razer Blade... But then I discovered that something with OpenGL/GLX doesn’t work properly, so I can’t use any graphics-heavy applications until I somehow figure out what’s wrong 😞

So macOS Sierra introduced the ability to sync sort-of important folders like 'Desktop' and 'Documents' between machines.

Nice idea until I forgot that the default of a lot of programs is to set up your project in the Documents folder, and that the project I was checking out from git had two 20G files. Okay, the machine I was working with at home had plenty of disk space.

Turns out my machine at work did not, and happily synced itself out of disk space, which has been causing all sorts of no-not-fun-at-all busy work this morning.

should i update to macOS sierra
, can we make this post as issues that developers facing with the new update and by developer i mean not only mac developers but many developers work on mac so if there is something failing from them please comment
i think this will be useful for all of us

Just upgraded to macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), and holy cow it is buggy as hell.

Some of my findings include:
1. unresponsive "cancel" button on certain dialog boxes.
2. erratic behaviour of the "show password" checkbox.

guess how is trying to downgrade until the requisite patches arrive?

if people will start choosomg their os on the basis of the time taken to install, I bet everyone will prefer win 10 over sierra (excluding linux based distros because they are real os)

CSS background-color is completely broken in Chrome Canary on the macOS Sierra beta. Unfortunately using Canary is the only way I can use Chrome on Sierra because of a different bug with Chrome.

I want to update to MacOs Sierra but am afraid it would mess up with my full stack dev environment, mamp and shit.
Anyone facing issues after update.
Advice??

Since I updated to macOS High Sierra Compass is broken. Has someone found a solution already?

Finally found time to do the macOS Sierra upgrade

Any Hackintosh users in here? Got any setup pics to share? I'm thinking about setting a second partition to get in the game again with High Sierra, since I haven't used macOS since Yosemite. Windows 10 won't let me change my main on my desktop and my lappy is too happy with its Ubuntu LTS.

Well, I crashed my work MacBook attempting to update to macOS Sierra. Good thing I had backups of some criticism projects I've been working on.

I kinda just want macOS Sierra to become available like now

Trying to upgrade to macOS High Sierra, guess what? After half a day of backing up and installation, I time traveled. My Mac is still running macOS Sierra. 🙄

(Luckily i backed up)

The pain you have to go through while developing. Updated my MAC to macOS Sierra(from El Capitan) just coz of electron-builder required new version.

!rant

Just switched to a Mac, so far everything is going fine. (From Windows)

Any Windows-to-Mac switchers out there ?

How was the switch and the learning curve ?

Anyone here who has experiences with Kaspersky running on MacOS Sierra? Got a license here but I'm scared to install it because I heard it would slow down the system due to the deep integration and so forth.

The timing is spot on.

Guys after updating to macOS Sierra AppStore won't open. It's just stack at launch screen. Any ideas?
