Don't upgrade to High Sierra (OSX)

quick psa i upgraded thinking mac hasn't truly bottomed out yet. but, tons of my stuff, including reason and live, would just crash before starting after the updrade, so i had to spend a half day going back to an old backup. some of my keys are still messed but it's not a total disaster. 

yeah yeah yeah i probably shouldn't have been so credulous and waited another 6 months. but whatever, don't do it.

each new macos is shittier than the last. craig federighi or eddy cue or whoever is really fucking up, ballmer style baby

time to switch to TempleOS my nathan

what system programming does to a man

To play devil's advocate I've been running it since the GM and never had any major issues. Live and all my plugins have worked since Day 1.

i upgraded, i hadn’t seen this thread.

high sierra fucked up my mac :(

major audio interface issues and slow as fuck to boot up.

thanks apple.

Damn

"It just works"

One of my laptops is still running Snow Leopard.

God said pets are homo, so

I don't think it's a common issue, but the UI in Live is laggy for me in High Sierra. Even in an empty set, turning a knob makes everything like 1 fps lol. Maybe it has something to do with my relatively old Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics. Logic and everything else are running better than ever though.

No problem with High Sierra here

I was having major performance issues with High Sierra on launch but most of the problems have been ironed out since then... I could have sworn that I had way better performance with Sierra, though.

Live has always made my mac randomly shut down at times. High Sierra seems like things are still status quo with that at least

high sierra seems like a fitting name

That sucks! What version and OS are you running? I’ve never had issues.

random shutdowns are mostly caused by some corrupted library files (fix: run disk repair routine, re-install macOS) or bad RAM sticks (fix: get new RAM).

i wish i had seen this thread earlier. basically i upgraded (or tried to upgrade) to high sierra and my mac hdd got corrupted. according to a tech, high sierra isn't designed for older macbooks but for newer ones that don't have moving parts- so even if the upgrade worked, it would have been a real drain on the system 

now i'm having to replace the HDD, add a new battery and more ram. basically, a new computer with the old school macbook shell (back when they still had dvd+rw/cd drives)

Just regular Sierra, with a 2015 mbp. Live has always caused random shutdowns, so ive learned to save often
