Some small stuff I've noticed: 1) There are new shortcuts for AirDrop and Night Shift when customizing the Touch Bar's control strip 2) There is a new 'Pop-out' shortcut on the Touch Bar when watching a video 3) Locking the computer takes you to the lockscreen instead of turning off the screen. The lockscreen login-field has changed a bit 4) Different App Store icon? 5) When using Spotlight to open TextEdit, it opens a blank page directly instead of taking you to Finder to locate a file
I just downgraded from Mojave to High Sierra because my iMac 21.5 Base Model 2017 was having super laggy issues, now its incredibly fast! I AM SUPER EXCITED! Thanks for highlighting what's new!
In my experience updating to new Mac OS, I recommend anyone with an older mac to wait before updating. My macbook is late 2009, with 8GB ram and an SSD. The past 2 new OS releases I have had issues with speed, battery life, overheating, and app compatibility until around December. I may even be getting a newer mac before updating :)
Another good one! After a hard at work watching your videos is always relaxing. Plus English is not my mother tongue but you’re accent is easily understandable. Keep up the good work
To Erin. I just watched your "What's New in High Sierra" article. ... It was informative. I've got a good feel for the refined Sierra Operating System, (Named High Sierra O.S.). ... Thank You.
At 5:45 where it shows the icons at the bottom, all the way to the left it shows the notes app while you have it opened on your iPhone how do you make that work or set that up ?
I just got a Mac Pro. Still learning. Trying to follow and some of your commands are off..? I’ve only the track pad and double clicking in control click. 😁
Question for TouchID users on MacBook Pro: If you lock the screen and wait 1-2 minutes (after the screen is turned off), can you simply place your finger on the TouchID to wake and unlock the device? That is without pushing the button, keys, or touching the Touch Bar. ?
Informative video to the point! Thanks for this. I’ll be checking your Apple videos out from now on. So much less filler than the big review companies.
I have not updated to macOS high sierra because all the issues that many people are still having. You should do a video on the many issues that macOS high sierra has.
Hi Aaron, What I absolutely wonder is if I have to update to macOS High Sierra. Currently I'm using macOS Sierra on my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, so I wonder if it causes to slow down the Mac as the new version of iOS does to the iPhone 7 and older iPhones. Thanks.
I just got a new iMac from 2011, I know its old but we move, macOS High Sierra runs very well on this, it has a quad core i5 with 8GB ram, but nah this is very good and im enjoying using the software (I mainly use Safari and google web based services)
There is one important reason why you need to update your system to High Sierra - many programs cannot be upgraded to new versions or you cannot install them at all if you do not have High Sierra on your mac.
Prior to the upgrade I didn't have issues. After I'm having trouble logging into web pages (i.e) RUclips. Certain web pages to log in they require a user name and password. Once I type in both I click log in. Nothing. I have to rapidly click on the log in just to get into my homepage on the web sights. Not just RUclips several ones. My advise don't upgrade for at lease two months hopefully Apply will get any bugs out by then.
Congratulations on the video, I have a Retina 2015 ssd work with audio. I'm going to Sierra or High Sierra or stay, I want a fast, smooth system ... El Capitan ??? Help me please.
Aaron, I have a Mac Pro (Early 2009) that I upgraded the 2 CPUs with a firmware hack a couple of years ago. The OS is on a 1TB PCIe SSD and the the four drive bays are filled with rotational hard drives. I am currently running Sierra with no problems. If I install High Sierra will there be any problems with the data already installed? Will the upgrade to the new APFS affect anything? Great video - you have a great way of expressing yourself.
+TheMobileMan thanks for the compliment. While I have not used that Mac Pro, I would probably wait for a version or two before upgrading. The latest updates have been kind of buggy and it's getting better but if you have any concerns it wouldn't hurt to wait as High Sierra doesn't have a ton of features.
When I bought my 2013 27 inch iMac it had a fusion drive. I broke that future drive up into its flash and hard drive components. So since it's no longer technically a fusion drive I should have no problems using APFS. Is that correct?
On my 2015 MacBook Pro 13 with i7 1TB ssd, the performance is the same and the startup is four seconds slower than macOS Sierra. Higher sierra is not recommended for older models.
Thank you for another great video! Can you help me with sth? Tomorrow arrives a new macbook pro 2016. I have a time machine back up from sierra and i want to transfer it to the new macbook. Should i update macbook to high sierra and then transfer the back up, or first transfer the back up and then update to high sierra?
looks like I am a little behind on the updates, but since I have updated to the macOS High Sierra I have lost the name of my hard drive... it has changed to \\\. Is there a reason for that; is it something I should be concerned about or is it part of the OS update? Thank you for any information on this.
Is there any other way to download macOS High Sierra 10.13? Torrent or Something? I'm having a slow and limited data internet service. Tried to download through Appstore, I couldnt able to pause and its always starting to download from begining if it is interupted. :(
hi.. I tried spot light search looking for a flight it gave me the information from my content i.e. emails how do I get it to do a proper search like you have demo'd here?
funny when you asked siri to play something Relaxing an ad came on XD lol. great video thanks for the info I was wondering if I should stop at el capitan or go to high seirra, goona keep updating. thanks!
Best video I have watched on this subject so far. My problem is that I am unable to use my Photo Library to upload photos to ebay. All the other sophisticated options offered with High Sierra are of little interest to me. I use Mail, RUclips, Ebay and rarely anything else. My Mac Air has ben nothing but a pain to me and wish I could have kept my Windows. The security aspect and portability is what attracted me to the Mac. I would so appreciate your guidance to overcome this obstacle. x
Really informative and easy to follow - one of my better reviewers. Tech reviewers should really do a little homework before presuming some features are available globally. The Spotlight Search for airplanes is not something available everywhere, only to certain markets like the US, UK etc.
Hi, I always enjoy your videos. Question: if I update to High Sierra, how can I get an upgraded Safari 11, which I read has some improvements for Safari users. Thank you very much. DD
Hi, thanks for your awesome review! U said the new file system is not supported by fusion drives (SSD+HD)? So do recommend to upgrade macbook pro which has both SSD and HD ?
I'm having problem with youtube fullscreen mode on High Sierra. When i expand video to full screen mode, dock section doesn't go hide. By this dock invisible but the area of dock stays. Anyone has same problem? Any suggestions over this bug?
zollotech I would definitely be interested in a setup tour how do you think about adding a poll to one of your videos with the question setup tour yes or no?
Great Job as always. Re: “Log Me In Rescue”. Maybe I don’t pay enough attn. to Macbook Pro OS updates. Just updated to 10.13.2 & I hope,it’s the most recent, as of 12/17. (took > 20’ to install!) However, just noticed this: “LogMeIn Rescue” & never saw it in previous updates. So-tried searching for, what this actually does. But can’t find a single site explaining it. In the Apple Community posts, so many ppl. said: “UNINSTALL IT” it’s a hazard for security. Can U pls explain LogMeIn Rescue is??? Thnx.
Leider hält der Akku meines MAcBooks seit dem Update UM DIE HÄLFTE KÜRZER!! Unfortunately, the battery keeps from my MacbookHALF SHORT since the update!!
+Sriram Sarathy what Mac do you have? It is 2010 and newer with a few 2009 macs receiving it. Also you have to go to the App Store to select it and install it.
just out of curiosity, when you click "more" why it comes up so many Chinese social platforms, are you using a Chinese version Macbook to make this video
zollotech lol that is interesting, CUZ I don't think American people would use that kind of social platforms , wondering why apple still put those links for all macos. Instead, for iOS, those links only appear for the iPhone which sale for China
I have a problem with High Sierra when I switch to windows using Bootcamp I can't get back to Mac OS because bootcamp assistant can't see the partition "I have SSD not fusion drive" PLEASE HELP :(
Yeah I used to do that but after updating to High Seirra windows stopped recognizing my Mac OS partition :( As far as I know it is because of the new file system :(
Shut down your mac. Turn on power and IMMEDIATELY hold Alt/option Key. Double click the Mac partition to boot up. Once inside, go to system preferences, "Startup Disk", and you can change the default bootup drive from there.
Some small stuff I've noticed:
1) There are new shortcuts for AirDrop and Night Shift when customizing the Touch Bar's control strip
2) There is a new 'Pop-out' shortcut on the Touch Bar when watching a video

High sierra is installing right now, i’m watching this video and it feels very relaxing

Thank you. Glad you like it.
@@zollotech The best channel for me! I really enjoy your videos :)

+Eric Spielberg it’s possible
Super clean and easy-to-understand video! 👍

Would you recommend thus update for a 13” MacBook Pro with retina from 2013?
+Jorge Lopez yes. It’s a refinement
zollotech thanks Aaron! I just don’t what my Mac to become slow
+Jorge Lopez if anything it usually gets faster with MacOS updates.
Great detail intro, please keep up the good work.
You're the man Aaron - Great vid

"All my files" from the sidebar is being replaced by "Recents". I miss the All my files tab feature where i get to see all my files in the window
Will it work on my 2015 MacBook Air? I want to know they are not gonna be any problems or is gonna be laggy ?
I've installed it on my MacBook Pro Retina, and it's great. This system takes much better advantage of the speed of the SSD memories
I have not updated to macOS high sierra because all the issues that many people are still having. You should do a video on the many issues that macOS high sierra has.
Great video. Thanks Aaron!
What are the specs of the MacBook used in this video.
what an amazing and useful video.. please do the same with apple watchOS4 thank you...

David a cox didnt mention anything about the apple file system? 🤔

i would love to know whats your job is? are you only doing this youtube stuff or something else also?
MacbookPro 13, running High Sierra 10.13.4. Why does my dock now have a white background instead of being transparent?
looks like I am a little behind on the updates, but since I have updated to the macOS High Sierra I have lost the name of my hard drive... it has changed to \\\. Is there a reason for that; is it something I should be concerned about or is it part of the OS update? Thank you for any information on this.
Very good video!
hi... can you notice in Finder they remove "All my Files" option from list .... can we get back ? or we should have to use recent option .....
should I upgrade my 2012 macOS el capitan to high sierra? still doubtful actually
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Is there any other way to download macOS High Sierra 10.13? Torrent or Something? I'm having a slow and limited data internet service. Tried to download through Appstore, I couldnt able to pause and its always starting to download from begining if it is interupted. :(

funny when you asked siri to play something Relaxing an ad came on XD lol. great video thanks for the info I was wondering if I should stop at el capitan or go to high seirra, goona keep updating. thanks!

Is the messed up aspect ratio part of the OS?
How about security hole in high sierra? Is it safe to update?
As soon as you told Siri to play something relaxing a ad came on 😂
Hi: Was just looking for the link to your video on Metal 2. Is that available?
Really informative and easy to follow - one of my better reviewers. Tech reviewers should really do a little homework before presuming some features are available globally. The Spotlight Search for airplanes is not something available everywhere, only to certain markets like the US, UK etc.
nicely done, thanks!
Great video. Does office 2011 work with mac os high sierra?
+Carlos Guerra only the latest version does I believe unless Microsoft pushed a patch.
Hi, I always enjoy your videos. Question: if I update to High Sierra, how can I get an upgraded Safari 11, which I read has some improvements for Safari users. Thank you very much. DD
It comes with High Sierra.
Nice video, thank you for your time. :)
Hi, thanks for your awesome review!
U said the new file system is not supported by fusion drives (SSD+HD)? So do recommend to upgrade macbook pro which has both SSD and HD ?

I'm having problem with youtube fullscreen mode on High Sierra. When i expand video to full screen mode, dock section doesn't go hide. By this dock invisible but the area of dock stays. Anyone has same problem? Any suggestions over this bug?
Bravoo!!
Great run down.
Hey Aaron, are you planning on doing a room tour or setup tour anytime soon?
+Ilias I wasn’t but would anyone else like to see that?
zollotech I would definitely be interested in a setup tour how do you think about adding a poll to one of your videos with the question setup tour yes or no?
Do you know what happened to iMessages that was supposed to sync with iCloud?
+DavidR702 they delayed it.
I don't have high sierra in software update and I'm using a retina macbook pro 2012
How long did the update take to install? I think mine might be stuck but I ain’t sure...
+Jannis Grimm an hour
zollotech hmm, okay...thank you! Great video btw!
Does the Beta program get the official update??
+Wong Michael you will need to turn off beta updates in settings and then download and install it.
Great Job as always. Re: “Log Me In Rescue”. Maybe I don’t pay enough attn. to Macbook Pro OS updates. Just updated to 10.13.2 & I hope,it’s the most recent, as of 12/17. (took > 20’ to install!)

I want to download it but fortnite needs el captain 11.5.6 or later if i get high sierra would i still be able to get fortnite still?
The or later part means yes..

+Sriram Sarathy what Mac do you have? It is 2010 and newer with a few 2009 macs receiving it. Also you have to go to the App Store to select it and install it.
As soon he tells Siri to "Play something relaxing", an advertisement with a bald guy pops up. ROFL!!!
just out of curiosity, when you click "more" why it comes up so many Chinese social platforms, are you using a Chinese version Macbook to make this video
+haosheng chen no. They are all the same.

WAIT WHAT I HAD INSTALL MAC OS SIERRA IN MY APPLICATIONS AND I DONE NOTHING? It is able to play VR games.. I am installing.
Subscribed and liked!
Great vid! ty!
It's not available for me and I have a 09 mac :(
I have a problem with High Sierra when I switch to windows using Bootcamp I can't get back to Mac OS because bootcamp assistant can't see the partition "I have SSD not fusion drive" PLEASE HELP :(
In windows, there's a bootcamp control panel and click the start up disk then, click Macintosh HD OSX then click Restart
Yeah I used to do that but after updating to High Seirra windows stopped recognizing my Mac OS partition :( As far as I know it is because of the new file system :(
Shut down your mac. Turn on power and IMMEDIATELY hold Alt/option Key. Double click the Mac partition to boot up. Once inside, go to system preferences, "Startup Disk", and you can change the default bootup drive from there.
when is this new version release?
+Diana it’s already out
Thank you for your response. I founded in my App Store. I Download it on my iMac last week. so far doing good without bugs or glitches.
Metal 2 is official built in?
+Pedro Nunes yes
that system is so strong and solid that even runs good inside a hack VM Ware running on a crap windows laptop.
Thank you so much!
Best feature: get "root" superuser access by leaving the password field blank...
REMEMBER this... THIS is Apple.
that was already fixed
now just ask for Linux several distros release some security updates without admins having to search the updates! try it.
excellent video thanks
