My 2013 Macbook Pro retina will be at this point in the fall with two major upgrades uninstallable. I'd say this argument no longer holds because even the official hardware often can't be upgraded. I would be shocked if the next OSX version doesn't fail to upgrade like the one from last fall. That new filesystem breaks everything. Thankfully I had backups, but even attempting again is not worth losing a day to Apple's shitty software. OSX Used to be the one piece of software that was solid. Now there is no Apple software I use that is solid except old versions of OSX <= 10.12.x
- photojosh 8y agoWhat updates were those? I'm still using a 2013 MBP too and no plans to upgrade. Given that 10.14 is still compatible with 2010 MBPs I think I have more than a few years left with it.
- mnm1 8y ago10.13 and the upcoming 10.14 and any future updates no doubt.
- photojosh 8y agoAh, so they just failed to install correctly? They're meant to be supported fine. What a pain. Do you know where it went wrong?
- mnm1 8y ago10.13 yes. I haven't tried 10.14. I have no idea where it went wrong. Maybe it didn't like that I had shrank the OSX partition for dual booting. It was a pain just to restore from Time Machine as the rescue partition they keep is old too. I think I ended up installing some older version then restoring on top of that.
- TryAgainBoyBoy 8y agoYou are clearly having localized trouble. The 2013MBP has ---no trouble-- running High Sierra or the Mojave beta. Sheesh, with even a cursory google search you can get High Sierra running without issue on a 2009MBP.
- rozenmd 8y agoActually, 10.14 will only support MacBook Pro (Mid-2012 or later) according to: https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/05/macos-mojave-will-drop-support-for-some-older-macs-released-before-2012 https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/05/macos-mojave-will...
- photojosh 8y agoI'm an idiot, was muddling up Mojave and High Sierra. Right you are.
- mithr 8y agoNot to belittle OP's experience, but I've been running High Sierra on a 2010 MBP since it came out with no issues, so YMMV.
- sincarne 8y agoI'm running the same machine, and had the same experience, but our MBPs will not be supported by the new OS in the fall.
- rozenmd 8y agoMight be worth trying without the APFS conversion? /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO
