My MacBook seems to wake up fractionally quicker when I open the lid and the Apple Watch unlock is more reliable.

Just in the process of downloading right now. Question, does the new file system improve the way Mac OSX can exist with NAS drives? I have a couple of Synology NAS drives and it always seems clunky transferring files when compared to my PC.

Mine's the same as it was before - I'm just copying some 150 files of 3.5gb over to mine now and it is ok. I run mine just as a shared network drive, over wifi rather than wired, if that makes any difference. The only clunkiness is that the drive will disconnect every now and then, but it didn't lose anything after this update.

Full OS updates always have to be downloaded from the main store.

Thank's , I was getting a bit confused by the name of the update, seeing as its got Sierra in the title still, understand now that its a complete new OS.

Fractionally faster here. No issues. Update took an hour.

Is there possibly a memory leak in Safari now? Last night I was watching a few YouTube videos while working, and it was fine, but then put BBC iPlayer on and it crashed the browser after 20 minutes and would then crash again every 5 minutes or so before I gave up. I kept working on the iMac and put iPlayer on the MacBook next to it instead to carry on watching, and then that crashed too after around 10 minutes.

Last night I had Safari crash on me for the first time in years. You could be onto something.

I find iPlayer unreliable after a few minutes of streaming <1h, didn't have this issue before and just affects the tab it is open in.

The_Abyss · 30 Sep 2017 at 06:46

Yes, that's the same problem for me. Other tabs were fine. Perhaps it is just iPlayer related.

Is anyone else having trouble transferring files to usb. I know theres a 4gb limit but its saying it can't transfer 2.5gb files as they are too large?

FAT32 the same one I've transferred and have files on unto 4GB.

The_Abyss · 3 Oct 2017 at 21:22

No problems for that here - transferred a 14 gb file just fine recently

MR_Punk · 3 Oct 2017 at 21:34

I transfered it fine to NTFS but cannot for the life of me transfer anything over 2GB to FAT32.

Bluecube · 3 Oct 2017 at 22:31

FAT32 file size limit is 2Gb.

Hater · 4 Oct 2017 at 09:33

FAT16 file size limit is 2GB, FAT32 is 4GB.

I knew I was right first time round :mad:

Internet info check fail on my part.

Format the stick to exFAT then try the transfer again. I'm not having any issues at all with file transfers. Too/From Windows/macOS. Tested all file size limits.

Is iTunes randomly crashing for anyone else?
