The only reason I "upgraded" was, at first, to try it since what I know about Apple which is they are not "going back." This is not Lion which you could ignore until they came up with a better OS. So the new architecture is the new architecture, and programs will eventually adapt to it. For...

Oh wait . . . you are serious? You can cheaply get Ex-HDs that are 4TB, 6TB, and more! They laugh at 5GB. Hell, I am rewatching a highly artistic and deeply philosophical anime [Berserk--Ed.] which is far larger. I rip my movies to preserve them and they are all greater than a mere 5GB because...

Ummm . . . er . . . get an External HD and copy the file to it? If they are particularly salacious . . . I mean . . . "important" you can burn a hard copy with a Blue Ray burner which are now relatively cheap. You should be cloning your drive to an Ex-HD anyways. This will, of course, back up...

☝︎I will note that the linkypoo he gives is basically the one I put via osxdaily in my concise, brief, short instructions in the High Sierra thread. I was not sure about direct linking to a "Hackintosh" site. Anyways, it works great for creating an Installation Disk which is the way to go. --J.D.

Hmmmm . . . favorite "scary movies/series?" The Thing--John Carpenter's of course. Ringu--the Japanese Original of course. Jaws Mary Poppins--[Stop that!--Ed.] His "Cockney" is frightening! Psycho--problem is everyone now knows "the story" but it was a MAJOR shock in its day--main characters...

IF your computer is compatible with High Sierra follow the instructions I gave above. I prefer having an actual Installation Disk rather than trusting Al Gore's Interwebz. Further, while your SSD drive should be compatible, there may be a problem with your connected HDD drives. See my comments...

I mean the old fashioned drag the bottom right-corner until the window expands as much as you can in the monitor window. --J.D.

I have noticed, particularly if you use Safari, full screen always takes over BOTH monitors defeating the whole purpose of having two monitors: allowing you to watch a video in FULL EPIC SCREEN while surfing for French plant por . . . er . . . working . . . working on your other screen...

. . . and they are! --J.D.

Incidentally, having all done that above, App Store does detect the 10.13.1 and iTunes 12.7.1 updates. Will see if they work properly after cloning. . . . :eek: --J.D.

Very belated thanks on that. As you can see, it has been nearly two years and my Original HD of Doom is still pooping along, happy, and laughing at DW and TechTools. Which just means the Belgians are lying in wait. . . . --J.D.

You also need to give more details, such as what Mac you have and, in particular, your HD--High Sierra is designed for SSDs and tries to load a new architecture. I blather about this in the sticky thread. Did you update over Al Gore's Interwebs or create an installation disk? Do you like long...

You may also wish to download the free diagnostic program EntreCheck which may be helpful for the Gurus to help you diagnose what is going on if it is not obvious that Activity Monitor shows what applications are eating CPU/RAM. --J.D.

Hybrid SSD, High Sierra, and You! By Way of an Introduction: This reconstructs a post I made a few months ago when I tried to upgrade to High Sierra. Bottom line is despite my computer being compatible, App Store would not detect the need to update, and when I did update, halfway through, I...

Some of us never leave. --J.D.

RIP Chuck Berry :(: --J.D.

Underrated band . . . if that makes sense. Last week, on ANOTHER FORUM [Boo. Hiss.--Ed.] people posted "Fish Heads" in honor of Bill "Pvt. 'Game Over! Game OVER!' Hicks" Paxton. I will not do that since it will cause heads to explode, but it was an infamous short along with...
