hmm AFPS doesn't take up much space when they do snapshots anyway. So no worries.

i think it depends, some said they got extra spaces after upgraded to new file system, I am with the other side, my disk space decreased after upgrade...

and noticed an annoying issue, the new macbook, screen off for a while, wake it up, screen is blinking before desktop is shown.

encountered another very annoying issue, someone reported here too:

does VLC drains battery fast? initially was hoping can just use native quicktime but still cannot play mp4 files.

uh use Handbrake and play it natively for best battery efficiency.

Hi guys.

Need sure what happened. After I upgraded, I start seeing this.

(1) from no where the screen will freeze and then go blank. Then after a while, the log on screen will come back with a message “Touch ID requires your password when Mac restarts”. This happens every often (3-4 times a day) and I lost all my work when it happens.

(2) iTunes also crashes every time I use it

Weird.

Give it sometime to index finish first.. Maybe can try again tml.. If not, try repairing disk..

Oh okay.. just to add more details. When it restarts, I entered my password then it will take a while to log in (the progress bar will go on and on.. like it is a new start).

When u say repair disk, should I also reset PARM too ?

(As I finished this, it crashed again).

Didn't work as in can't even start? As much as I hate spending over $100 per year, I guess no choice 'cos MS already said its stopped support for Office 2011 liao so that means no more feature updates. Even security updates would probably get fewer too.

 

[theraventhatdied]

still waiting for pip support in 3rd party apps like VLC

 

[renfred89]

Can launch but after a few seconds will have the Microsoft error reporting dialogue and then the app will close

I'm using Office for Mac 2011 as well but it works fine with High Sierra.
