The excitement of installing a new version of macOS, especially if its a High Sierra 10.13, is only tempered by the possibility of it not working properly or not being compatible with the apps you use most.
Before you begin upgrade to macOS make a bootable backup
If you haven’t started the process of upgrading yet, check if the Mac is compatible with macOS High Sierra and make a bootable backup.
Do it now, before you do anything else. If things go disastrously wrong at least you’ll be able to boot from macOS’ Recovery partition and migrate all your data back to your Mac. You can use any backup tool you like – Apple obviously favours Time Machine, but you don’t have to use it. You can use, for example, Get Backup Pro, which comes with your Setapp subscription.

Common macOS High Sierra problems
While most new versions of macOS are relatively problem-free, it’s not unknown for users to have issues – particularly with a beta or .0 release. Thankfully most are easy to resolve. Here’s how to fix the most common High Sierra issues.
High Sierra installer won’t download
If you’re trying to download the macOS High Sierra installer, you’ll need to have signed up to App Store. If you’ve done that, and managed to start the downloading process only for it to fail, force quit the App Store app.
- Press Cmd-Alt-Esc or go to the Apple menu and choose Force Quit.
- Select the App Store app and confirm you want to force quit.
- Re-launch the App Store and try downloading again.
macOS High Sierra won’t install
If the download completes successfully but the installation doesn’t finish, force quit the installer using the same procedure as above.
- Restart your Mac
- Launch the App Store app and go to the Purchases tab.
- Find macOS High Sierra and click Install.
If that doesn’t work, try deleting the downloaded installer (it’s in your Applications folder) using CleanMyMac and download it again.
If you have a copy of macOS Server in your applications folder, that may be the root of the problem. Delete it and try again.
Getting the rainbow wheel every few seconds after upgrade
Check console.app and if you’re getting errors from sandboxd and hidd (IOKit), your problem is a third party software. It’s probably because it wasn’t supported by the new APFS file system. It tries to repeatedly update causing your Mac laptop to be stuck in an endless loop. To fix this issue, just find and remove this app and everything will be fine.
What if macOS High Sierra stops responding?
If your Mac hangs and you can’t do anything at all, wait up to half an hour to see if that helps. If not, force your Mac to restart by holding down the power button and waiting for it to shutdown and then start again.

macOS 10.13 High Sierra keeps logging out
In case you’re getting tired of you new OS kicking you out of your account on random occasions, there’s a chance it’s pretty easy to turn it off. For instance, there is a setting in your Security & Privacy menu that is responsible for that.
- Go to Security & Privacy > Advanced and find the box saying “Log out after… minutes of inactivity.”
- Uncheck it.
You can go even further and turn off the need to enter your password every time you open your Mac or turn it on. In the same Security menu find General settings and uncheck another box, the one saying “Require password after sleep or screen saver begins.” As you can tell, though, that it not the most secure option, especially if it’s your work computer or if you can expect other people getting a hold of it.
If the problem occurs when you’re using Chrome browser, disable the hardware acceleration feature: look for Advanced menu in its settings and turn off hardware acceleration.
How to fix USB devices not recognized on High Sierra
It’s not a nice thing to find out after getting a brand new system, but some Macs have been struggling with USB devices after the upgrade. If your Mac is one of them and refuses to see or read USB drives, external drives, and so on, try resetting SMC.
We’ve explained earlier in the article how to do it, but here’s brief instruction. For all laptop Macs like MacBook, MacBook Pro, and Air, simply turn it off and then on again, while holding Shift + Control + Option and the Power button for 10 seconds.
For iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and Xserve, You start my turning off your Mac and then unplug the power cord. Chill for about 15 seconds. Look out of the window or something. Plug the cord back in, wait a couple of seconds and turn your Mac on.
If the problem remains, you can try to reinstall High Sierra or consult with customer support at Apple.
Security issues in High Sierra: Password Stealing
The only known and relatively famous security issue with the latest macOS is the password stealing code created by security researcher Patrick Wardle. Long story short, he showed that if he wanted to (and you allowed him by installing his malicious code on your Mac), he could extract your passwords from Keychain without having your master password for the system.
If you look into it, it all boils down to “Don’t get into white vans with strangers and don’t install suspicious software from shady developers on your Mac.” Basic safety precautions. Make sure you visit the developer’s website, make sure you install signed apps from trusted sources. That’s about it.
To check your safety settings, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and see if ‘App Store and Identified’ developers is selected.
Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly working hard on patching up the breach.
How to fix Mac running slow on macOS High Sierra
In case you’ve just upgraded to the new macOS and your Mac runs slower than it used to, worry not. It’s common and it’s not exactly an issue. The thing is that your Mac is reindexing a bunch of files while running a new system and it slows down its productivity and performance.
For 12-24 hours your Mac could experience these trouble and they are still within the range of normal behavior. If your Mac is running slow a few days after the upgrade, try some Mac-optimizing utilities to fix it. For instance, there is an app called CleanMyMac that can remove system junk and speed up your Mac. It’s a Mac cleaner with a set of handy utilities, some of which might come in handy.
For instance, one of the reasons for your Mac slowing down could be that some apps hog too much RAM. To see if this is the problem, try opening Activity Monitor and see which apps take to much processing power. If some of them seem to be exceedingly greedy and you’re pretty sure that’s not how it’s supposed to be, you can reset them.
To fix RAM-consuming apps, use the special module in the CleanMyMac app that we mentioned earlier, Uninstaller. Simply open CleanMyMac, go to Uninstaller, find the app in question and click Reset. The app will then lose its preferences and stored info and roll back to default settings. It’s basically like reinstalling it but without the hassle.
If your Mac goes all the way and becomes completely unresponsive or even needs rebooting, follow the instruction in our guide on how to speed up a slow Mac after installing macOS.
Fix problems with apps compability
With every macOS upgrade there are older versions of apps that are no longer supported by their developers. One casualty of High Sierra is Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. Microsoft has said that it will not offer support for it running on new macOS and it’s likely you’ll have problems with it. The only solution is to upgrade to Office 2016.
For other apps, upgrade them and check the developer’s website for details of High Sierra support. Even if an app doesn’t work with the new version of the new OS, it’s possible its developer is still working on support and it will work by the time macOS ships.
If you want to delete an app – perhaps because you’ve replaced it with a newer version – use CleanMyMac Uninstaller to make sure you delete all the files associated with the app.
Display issues on High Sierra
A few things can go wrong with your Mac’s display after the upgrade, so let’s see what can be done when they occur. You might experience troubles waking your Mac from sleep, when the display just never comes live or it does, but minutes after you’ve jammed every key on the keyboard.
Then you might also experience flickering of certain images while browsing the web. The last issue is a grey screen or a blue screen that signal something going pretty wrong with the whole Mac-to-display connection.
What you need to do to fix it is resetting your NVRAM. It’s that kind of memory that unlike regular RAM is non-volitile which means it keeps info when your Mac is turned off. That’s why simply turning it off and on again won’t help. Anyway, it’s a quick fix.
- Turn your Mac off and when you turn it back on, hold Command+Option+P+R while it’s booting. You will either see your screen blink twice or hear a two chimes.
- After that you need to have your System Management Controller reset also.
- Turn your Mac off again and press and hold Shift + Control + Option and the Power button for 10-15 seconds.
That should do it.
Fix Wi-Fi problems
One of the issues that has been reported the macOS High Sierra is with wifi signals. To analyse your wifi network after installation, use WiFi Explorer or NetSpot, both available in Setapp. Both these tools map the wifi networks within range of your Mac and identify areas where signals are either strong or weak. By using one of these apps, you should be able to tell if your Mac is having wifi problems.
If you can’t identify a problem and can’t connect to a network, try switching wifi off in the Finder menu bar, waiting 30 seconds and switching it back on again.
Bluetooth issues on macOS 10.13
Not much has been reported about Bluetooth issues on macOS High Sierra at the moment. However, there’s always one infallible piece of advice to give: re-pair your device. Find the Bluetooth icon in the upper right corner and open its preferences. If you can’t see it there, go to System Preferences and find Bluetooth menu.
Hover on the device in question and click the X-mark next to it. This not just disconnects the device, but removes it entirely from the list until you pair it back. To restore the device, set it into the painting mode and when it shows up in the list below, click “Pair.”
macOS High Sierra battery problems
Ramping up performance and adding new features while avoiding putting more strain on a battery is tough. So don’t be surprised if your Mac’s battery (if it’s a laptop) doesn’t last as long after upgrading. Use iStat Menus, available in Setapp, to monitor battery life – as well as CPU usage, fan speeds, temperatures and a host of other data. That way you’ll be able to tell if your battery really is performing less well after upgrading.
Your Mac use more power when it’s processor is under stress – partly because it generates heat which needs fans to cool it. So quit any apps that are hogging processor cycles if you’re not using them. You should also update apps to their most recent versions, and could turn down your screen’s brightness and move somewhere cooler if you’re sitting somewhere that’s particularly hot.
If your Mac’s battery hasn’t been its best self since the upgrade, try checking where the problem is. Open Activity Monitor > Energy and see which apps take up the most. Browsers and rendering software is expected to be energy-heavy, so that’s normal.
But if you’re seeing some minor applications you rarely use taking up a chunk, consider uninstalling them. You can use the specially-made CleanMyMac's Uninstaller for the job, because just dragging an app to the trash doesn’t uninstall it fully.
No Mail notifications in macOS High Sierra
In case you either see mail notification for less then a second or don’t see it at all, there might be a problem with settings. Try checking if you have the notifications turned on in System Preferences > Notifications. Does you alert style say “Banner”? If it does but the problem remains, change the alert style from 'Banner' to 'Alert' or 'None'. After that you can switch it to 'Banner' again and from now on it should work fine.
APFS compatibility issue with games and Unity engine
This part is for gamers only. If any of these names ring a bell for you, don’t rush to upgrade: 'Cities: Skylines', 'Civilization V', 'Team Fortress 2,' 'Half-Life 2,' and 'Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.'
Developers of these games and of the Unity engine, joined by threads on Reddit and Steam, have all voiced concerns about the APFS system and its compatibility with the main game engine and graphic controls. So, before you upgrade, hit Reddit or Google and find out if these troubles have been resolved.
If all else fails
If a force restart doesn’t work and you can’t get your Mac to run the new OS at all, the next step is to try repairing the disk on which it’s installed.
- Restart your Mac while holding downs cmd+R to boot in recovery mode.
- When it’s booted, choose Disk Utilities from the macOS Utilities menu.
- Click Repair Disk to to fix any problems on the disk.
- When it’s done, restart your Mac normally.
If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to reinstall macOS.
- Plug in the hard drive on which you made the bootable backup and select it as your Mac’s Startup Disk in System Preferences.
- Re-boot while holding down cmd+R.
- When the macOS Utilities menu appears, choose Disk Utilities and use it to erase you Mac’s main drive.
When it’s done, choose Reinstall macOS and select your Mac’s main drive as the destination. Wait for High Sierra to install and restart. When you see the Setup Assistant, choose the option to migrate data from another disk and choose the external disk as the source.

With the influx of cloud-based storage services like MEGA, Google Drive, iCloud and pCloud over the years, it can be quite daunting to decide on which of them to use. To be frank, it can be pretty frustrating, because all of them claim to be the best at what they do. Well, it's time to find out.
The safety of your files takes priority over anything else, so you need a storage service that's secure as well affordable, which is why the focus of today will be on Mac OneDrive. Take a backseat for this one, Google Drive.
Before you close this webpage, you'll know all there is to know about Microsoft's proprietary storage service. It now works effortlessly on your Mac, so this should be a very pleasant read for you.
Part 1: What Is OneDrive
OneDrive is a storage service developed by Microsoft for storing or hosting files in the cloud (online). This means as long as you have a computer with an internet connection, be it Windows or Mac, you can easily access your files from wherever you are. Terribly convenient, isn't it?
How does it work, you ask? The process is simple: You only need a Microsoft account, an internet connection and a little bit of patience; or rather, a lot of it, if your files are on the larger side.
Here's what happens: The Microsoft account will enable you to access One Drive; then an internet connection will serve as a bridge to those files; then patience as the process is carried out because the upload of files, regardless of internet speed and strength, takes longer than downloading them.
Part 2: How to Use OneDrive on Mac
It's always such a pleasant surprise when applications developed by Microsoft end up with Apple. The rivalry between the two companies makes it seem unlikely they would shake hands and develop apps that complement both their individual operating systems. But OneDrive is proof that the needs of both their customers outweighs anything else.
With that out of the way, is using Mac OneDrive easy and convenient? Yes. Using it is really little different from using any folder on your Mac. The only real difference is the data you store in your local OneDrive folder is also stored on OneDrive servers.
The default folders in OneDrive are Pictures, Documents, and Public, but you can add and name as many as you want. Copying files into OneDrive couldn't have been easier too: Just copy or drag and dump everything into the folder and it will seamlessly be uploaded to the cloud.
Accessing the floating files in the cloud is even easier because you can do so from any computer or device via the OneDrive web interface; some devices even have versions of the OneDrive app, negating the need to access the web interface.
Solution 1: How to Download and Install OneDrive on Mac
1. If you don't have a Microsoft Live ID, the first step is to create it. Follow this link to do that: https://signup.live.com/
2. Once you're done with that, go to this website https://onedrive.live.com/
3. Logged in to the website above with your newly-created Microsoft Live ID by clicking on 'Sign In'. It's located at the top-right part of the window.
4. Despite the type of web browser you are using, the next window to open up you will show you the default configuration for the OneDrive folder. At the bottom-left of the sidebar, you will see 'Get the OneDrive apps'. Click on it.
5. It will open up a new window. Click on 'Download.'

2. Type 'OneDrive' in the search field at the upper right section of the window.
3. Once you find it, click on 'Install' below the OneDrive icon.
4. Once that's done, you only need to go to your Mac's 'Applications' folder and click on the OneDrive icon (two blue clouds) to open it up. There are other ways you can launch the app but this method is quite convenient.
Solution 2: How to Set Up and Reset OneDrive on Mac
Setting OneDrive up can be done two ways, and they are dependent on whether you have an account signed in to OneDrive or not.
Set Up OneDrive
First Method (No Accounts Signed into OneDrive)
1. Press these keys, 'cmd' + 'Space', to start a Spotlight query.
2. Type 'OneDrive' in it and the 'OneDrive Setup' will begin
3. Type in your school or work account and choose 'Sign In.'
Second Method (Personal Account Already Signed into OneDrive)
1. On your Mac's Menu bar, you should be able to see the 'OneDrive' icon. Click on it.
2. Click the 3 dots you see to launch the menu.
3. Choose 'Preferences.'
4. Click on 'Account.'
5. Choose 'Add Account.' That will start up OneDrive.
6. Type in your school or work account.
7. Click on 'Sign In.'
Reset OneDrive
There could be instances where OneDrive on your Mac might fail sync properly with your cloud storage. To break this down, it means all the files you've saved in your OneDrive folder on your Mac won't sync with the real OneDrive in the cloud; or perhaps your other devices. Fortunately for you, this is neither a rare nor difficult problem to deal with. Fixing it just requires you to reset your OneDrive app. Then again, for someone who has never done something that, could prove to be quite the challenge. A little help should do you some good, don't you think?
There are several ways you can reset OneDrive on Mac but three methods take priority over all others: Kill OneDrive processes, access and delete the OneDrive keys, and utilize the covert reset OneDrive script.
Kill OneDrive Processes
1. Open up your 'Utilities' folder.
2. Launch 'Activity Monitor.'
3. Sort the column alphabetically by clicking on 'Process Name.'
4. Scroll down with your cursor and you'll eventually see 'OneDrive' among the list of active processes. There will most likely be two OneDrive items for you to kill: 'OneDrive Finder Integration' and 'OneDrive.'
If you see more than one item with the name 'OneDrive', you will need to kill the others too. This is mostly the case if your Mac is running both the Personal and Business version of OneDrive.
5. Highlight the items mentioned above to kill them (so much killing going on here).
6. Click on the 'X' icon at the top of the window.
7. You will see a prompt asking you to 'Quit' or 'Force Quit' the highlighted items. Click on 'Quit', but if it fails to close the items, try 'Force Quit.'
Access and Delete the OneDrive keys
None Of My Apps Work On Mac Desktop
1. Open up 'Utilities.'
2. Launch the 'Keychain Access' utility.
3. Type 'OneDrive' in its search panel.
4. In the search results, you will see several items, but only highlight or select those related to OneDrive.
5. Press the 'Delete' key.
6. Close 'Keychain Access.'
Utilize the Covert Reset OneDrive Script
1. Go to 'OneDrive' in your Applications folder.
2. Control-click on it.
3. In the menu you see, click 'Show Package Contents.'
4. Several folders will open up. Click on the 'Contents' folder.
5. Click on 'Resources.'
6. Look for 'ResetOneDriveApp.command' and double-click it to run the script. Mind you, it's not an application. If you're prompted to authenticate as an administrator, do so.
7. Once you run the script, 'Terminal' should open up automatically. It will run through some options and close once it's done.
Once you take these 3 steps and launch OneDrive, it will run as if it's a fresh install. You'll have to type your login details and set OneDrive up again, but you've already been taught how to do that, haven't you?

Part 3: OneDrive Won't Sync? Fix OneDrive Sync Issues
You don't have to worry much about your OneDrive breaking down in mid-use, but there's a possibility that could still happen for any number of reasons. There are steps you can take to get it back in top shape again, though, and they've been listed out for you below. Happy reading.
Solution 1 (Rectify 'Upload Blocked' Error)
1. This error message entails problems when you try to sync Office files. Click on the 'OneDrive' cloud icon you see on your Mac's menu bar.
2. Click on the three dots to open it up.
3. Choose 'Preferences.'
4. Choose the 'Office' tab.
5. Untick 'Use Office 2016 to sync Office files that I open.' There, that should do it. The Office Upload cache system will no longer give your OneDrive sync any more trouble; it was the initial cause of the error, anyway.
Solution 2 (Fix Internet Connection)
OneDrive needs an internet connection to sync files and work properly, obviously, so any drop in internet connection could lead to an error of sorts.
Solution 3 (Reduce File Size)
Try to compress or reduce your OneDrive files to be less than 15GB. Anything larger than that could culminate in errors when syncing files and folders
Solution 4 (Ascertain the OneDrive Process is Still Running)
Open up 'Activity Monitor' and select the 'CPU' tab. Check the 'Process Column' to see if OneDrive is there. For all you know, it might not even be running, hence leading to errors.
Solution 5 (Shorten the File Path)
Any file path that contains more than 255 characters is likely to give errors, so shorten the name of your files, folders, and sub-folders in OneDrive
Part 4: How to Recover Downloaded OneDrive Files
Once you put your files in OneDrive, their safety is guaranteed because they are stored in the cloud; inaccessible to anyone else but you. And you have copies of the files on your Mac too, so even if you lose either of them, it's safe to assume you still have the files either on your Mac or OneDrive servers, isn't it?
Wait, you don't have copies of the files? And you deleted both the ones on your Mac and in your OneDrive? That's not a very smart thing to do, is it?
No worries. You can save yourself the trouble of installing and uninstalling different recovery apps because all you need is one: Recoverit Mac Data Recovery.
Recoverit won't break a sweat in recovering your deleted OneDrive files. The cavalry is here, so chill. Look below and do as instructed. Everything should turn out fine in the end.
Step 1: Choose a Location
- Open Recoverit from your Applications folder.
- Click on one hard disk from 'Devices'. It should be the disk with the deleted OneDrive files.
- Click 'Start.'
Step 2: Scan the Location
- Make use of filters 'File Type' and 'File Path' to speed up the scan process so it takes even fewer minutes to conclude. Stop or pause the scan if necessary; it will neither affect nor tamper with the state of your files once they've been recovered.
- Recoverit will show you the deleted OneDrive files in a preview window of sorts once the scan is complete.
Step 3: Preview & Recover Downloaded Onedrive Files
- Do you see the little square checkboxes to the left of the Recoverit window? Those are your OneDrive files. Check the ones you want; tick all of them, if that's what you prefer,
- Click the 'Recover' button and wait for some minutes for the software to work its magic and recover your files back to your drive and where they should be. Save all the recovered files on the secondary drive in your Mac. And you're all done.
Wondershare has done it again. The brains behind it have developed a software that's capable of effectively recovering data which was lost in different ways, with special emphasis on accidental data loss and formatting.
It's arguable if anyone can truly explore the full potential of Recoverit because it has so much going for it. Give it a go and see what all the hype is about. You'll be glad you did.
Closing Words
Using OneDrive is easy if you follow the appropriate steps. Is there any marked difference in how efficient OneDrive is between the Windows and Mac versions? No, none whatsoever at all. OneDrive for Mac comes with all the benefits of its Windows counterpart.
You have free 5GB of storage space, which can be upgraded if the need arises. The tool is also compatible with your Mac's native cloud storage service, iCloud. Likewise, you can use it with other storage platforms, so it's as versatile as it is simple to use.
And if in the event you delete your OneDrive files, you can recover them by clicking on that little blue 'Recoverit' icon on your Mac's desktop. The software gets everything back without missing a beat, so what are you waiting for?
