When Sierra’s automatic backups stop or become irregular, other functions fail too. Here are some important and more obvious ones. Is this fixed in High Sierra, and does it affect iPhones too?
Time Machine
Does APFS support its major new features – clones, snapshots, etc – yet, and how can you use them?
This new version lets you select which log file to analyse, and to add custom processes to examine within log files. Lots of power with elegant simplicity.
For now, Time Machine can’t back up to an APFS volume. There are many problems with backing up APFS to HFS+, though. Time Machine needs to be revised.
Should fix a bug in which T2M2 reports an error message rather than completing an analysis of Time Machine backups.
You may still have plenty of space on your backup volume, but if it has millions of files and hard links from years of backups, it will be very slow. Here’s how to fix that.
The High Sierra upgrade did not go well for many users. Here are some of the reasons why macOS 10.13 is currently a lemon.
More trials and tribulations with the High Sierra upgrade. Is it possible to make a dual-boot system? And is it wise?
Time Machine diagnostics now available for Sierra, and (in beta) for High Sierra.
The latest version of iTunes is a blow to those with several iOS devices, as it no longer lets you sync new apps and updates to them. Apple’s solution, though, could bring even worse problems.
