High Sierra is out and at the App Store just for you. Download and install aprox. 1 hour in total. Get it now and have fun! It is great to be out of the beta now. I have a couple of hundred apps and the only one that broke (and I was told by developer in advance that it would)was Drive Genius. Zero problems with anything else! Daz Studio works even faster on my Mac than it did before the new OS!

Greetings,
*sigh*
...
My laptop Mac is now TWO operating system versions behind. :-/
I love my 17" MacBook Pro, and I _really_ didn't want to get a 15", but...this isn't going to be sustainable.
Thanks for the info, though!
-- Morgan
I am looking forward to eventually trying it. At the moment it is not possiable because it is not supported on Hybrid drives that my imac has. I hope they can remedy this soon.
Greetings,
@gsm77 You most certainly can run Mac OS X High Sierra on a hybrid drive or plain hard drive, it just doesn't upgrade your file system to the new APFS. While APFS is a pretty big feature, it's not the only one in the new version, so it's probably worth updating if you can.
-- Morgan
Looks like I need to wait for a new driver from Nvidia before I can have a go.
Thanks i may now consider upgrading in the next week or so.
No thanks, this upgrade replaces your entire file system, so I'm not in any hurry to experiment without backing up data.
Might want to check the Apple Discussions, under Support, and High Sierra, at Apple.com. Seems pretty safe, but I did check with Alsoft, which makes DiskWarrior, which can really repair problems at which Apple's Disk Utility may fail. Alsoft says they have to prepare a whole new version because of the APS file system. But, supposedly, if you have, as do I, an SSD drive in your main Mac, that will be automatically converted to the new file system. Then, for backup drives, I have the standard spinning drives from La Cie. I was told that's not a problem, and that High Sierra can both read from and write to regular hard drives. (Just saying some of what's over at Apple's Discussions. I'm not insisting this is the absolute truth.)
Anyone who is going to upgrade, though, should have a full, complete backup on another HD. Also, a caveat I've sadly learned is true: The leading edge, the cutting edge, is often the bleeding edge. In other words, it may be safer for a bit to read about the new features in High Sierra, and wait until we get the 10.13.2 or 10.13.3 versions out, which will probably remove some of the bugs. For regular Sierra, I'm at 10.12.6. There are always some bugs that are later discovered. They can't possibly test out all the various versions of Macs and Mac OSs that exist.
Yeah, if I had external backup drives, I wouldn't want Sierra trying to convert those, or any other non-OS drives connected to the system. I don't think you would be able to read them from Windows OS-based system if they got converted.
At 4.8 GB, I can guarantee it won't be nearly that fast for me.
Greetings,
For the machine I have which can run it (2011 27" iMac) it's actually kinda funny; I have an internal spinning-platters drive, but an SSD backup (via Time Machine) plugged into it. I wonder how that'd work out...if it'd try to ugprade the external drive. I mean, I'm okay with the idea of upgrading the FS; the current file system is pretty archaic at this point, but I have to admit having it muck about with my backup drive's storage makes me fidgity.
-- Morgan
I also have an external SSD on my setup, it only converted my main drive to the APFS format, the external drive remained as HFS+
also note cuda has not been upadated yet, so no cuda in 10.13 for now.
Yeah, about that.

Complete strangeness going on for me with High Sierra. All started when I ran DAZ Install Manager and noticed there were some product updates. Only a few downloaded while others gave me 'Download Failed'. Tried numerous times; same errors. Log didn't reveal anything. For the items that did download, some refused to install.
Thinking that my installs were somehow corrupted, I uninstalled everything and deleted all downloaded files. Relauched DAZ Install Manager and had the correct 113 items to re-download. This time, everything downloaded a-ok. But, only 17 items installed and 96 failed installation. e.g. Aiko 7. The log reveals: Could not extract file : /Users/Shared/My DAZ 3D Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/Morphs/DAZ 3D/Aiko 7/CTRLAiko7.dsf
But that is very odd as that file is there.
My Mac uses hard drives and so the file system was not changed at all (still on Mac OS Extended (Journaled)). What gives?
EDIT: OK, got things working. I did the same as above (uinstall, delete the install files). But additionally deleted my entire 'My DAZ 3D Library' folder. Also deleted the 'DAZ 3D' folder for good measure.
Re-dowload of the 113 items a-ok and all now installed. Only possible cause is that it was unhappy with the file/folder owner of 'My DAZ 3D Library'? I had noticed the owner was 'System' with read/write. Group was 'wheel' with read/write. and 'everyone' also had read/write. Now, the latter two are the same, but the main owner is my account I'm logged in as (with read/write). Still cannot explain why some items installed though while most didn't. Anyhow, if anyone else has issues like this, the above is hopefully a solution for you as it was for me.
With High Sierra, Daz Studio crashes during launch.
Uninstalled all and reinstalled, always crash:

I had this crash problem. I updated my CUDA driver (in system preferences) and all is now fine. This would be an issue for anyone else with a late 2013 macbook pro that has the Nvidia card and for which you have previously installed nvidia CUDA.
Wasn't this the primary reason for Apple going to a closed system to begin with? They didn't want so many variations out there like Windows-based PCs had? I mean, you can't change the battery in their phones, I'm amazed it's not a Federal Offense/EULA violation to swap out an internal hard drive. Then again, if they're replacing the file system with one that doesn't work on platter-based drives, it's kinda the same thing innit?
Or maybe they expect you to have the latest version only, and not hang onto hardware that hasn't yet paid for itself.
I have a new 15 inch Macbook Pro running High Sierra (10.13.6). It has a dual core Intel processor and a Radeon Pro 555X 4096 MB Intel UHD Graphics card.
Will I be able to instal and run the latest version of Dax 3D?

I personally test on machines primarily running Mac OS X 10.6.8, macOS 10.13.6, and macOS 10.14... with the potential to mount/boot the latest build of the various versions in between.
