(Apple File System.) UPDATE: Thanks to sharp-eyed Rocket Yard commenter Chris pointing us to an Apple support document, we now have a bit more information on, and how it all works on Macs and on volumes that are formatted with the legacy HFS+ file system. NOTE: At the request of several readers, we’ve added some “translations” to the Apple document listed below to make it more understandable. Chris pointed us to this Apple tech document, titled. Probably the most important information from Apple is this quote: Apple File System (APFS) is the default file system in macOS High Sierra for Mac computers with all-flash storage. APFS features strong encryption, space sharing, snapshots, fast directory sizing, and improved file system fundamentals.
When you install macOS High Sierra on the built-in solid-state drive (SSD) of a Mac, that drive is automatically converted to APFS. Fusion Drives and hard disk drives (HDDs) aren’t converted. You can’t opt out of the transition to APFS. (Rocket Yard emphasis) So basically, if you install APFS on any Mac that uses a solid-state drive as a built-in boot drive, it will automatically convert to APFS and you will not have a choice. Those Macs that use Fusion Drives (like the iMac, for example) or good old hard disk drives will not be converted, period. UPDATE 09/25: Apple software engineering chief Craig Federighi has confirmed in a later update. Here is the rest of the technical note verbatim, with our translation of Apple’s writing in italics. APFS compatibility Devices formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS+) can be read from and written to by devices formatted as APFS.
Translation: You can read and write to disk drives that were formatted as HFS+ from a Mac with a boot drive formatted as APFS. Devices formatted as APFS can be read from and written to by:. Other devices formatted as APFS. Devices formatted as Mac OS Extended, if using macOS High Sierra For example, a USB storage device formatted as APFS can be read by a Mac using High Sierra, but not by a Mac using Sierra or earlier. Translation: Drives of any type (USB flash drives, SSDs, HDDs) formatted as APFS can be be read from and written to from a Mac using High Sierra, even if it is not formatted as APFS. APFS and Time Machine.
You don’t need to change any Time Machine settings to back up APFS-formatted disks. Any Time Machine share points must be shared over SMB instead of AFP. Translation: You should be able to connect your Time Machine backup drive to your APFS-formatted Mac and things should run as expected.
The Backup Drive can be formatted as APFS or HFS+. If you share your Time Machine drive over a network, it will need to be shared over SMB rather than AFP (Apple Filing Protocol). Apple has been moving away from AFP for the past few iterations of macOS. For more tricks and guides, including coverage of the, check out the page! In a Mac you can reformat any APFS drive back to Fat32 with Diskutiltity How to Format USB Flash Drive to FAT32 in Mac OS To format a USB Flash Drive to FAT32 in Mac OS X follow the next steps.
Step1 Connect the USB Fash Drive to the Mac OS X computer. Step2 Search for Disk Utility in Launchpad and open it.
Step3 Select the Drive and click Erase. Step4 Enter the new name (OPTIONAL). Step5 Select MS-DOS(FAT) for Format. Step6 Select Master Boot Record for Scheme. Step7 Click Erase. Step8 Depending on the USB Drive size, the operation might take some time. And now we are ready to use the USB Flash Drive.
Wrong, you cannot reverse formatting and have never had that ability on any formatting type used on any OS or file storage drive, Mac or X86 or Linux etc. If you want to change you must offload your files and reformat.
However the offload must be done on a Mac that can read APFS. If you expected this feature you cannot have you should not have formatted a storage drive to use in a device that reads basically a windows based drive formatting type which is universally recognized i.e. Fat 32 for all USB flash drives. HFS+ and APFS is not universally supported with out special software on X86 devices. You cannot reformat a boot drive in use.
Under normal conditions you should not be using APFS for anything but a boot drive. If it is a usb flash drive you should be able to plug it into a Mac and choose erase, which does not reverse formatting it erase and changes formatting based on your choice, you might even be able to access this when booted from the HS installer and then choose disk utility and reformat out of session, or so to speak, this is the only way of reformatting a boot drive back to HFS+. All Apple drives (which are not manufactured by them in house, have drive firmware which has been modified by this manufacturer to Apple’s specs, this is why they are recognized as a Apple drive by the OS, vs an off the shelf SSD, which is not), come with firmware that is modified at manufacture.
Apple has acquired Toshiba so future drives may all be be made in house, or so to speak. Unless Apple makes APFS fully compatible with all SSDs not just the shipping machine’s SSD’s which the public cannot buy as a replacements, using a 3rd party SSD as a replacement, other than a Aura Pro X, will yield possible drive issues with APFS currently. The firmware in you drive was not modified by the OS it came modified. It is always best to format and clean install with any operating system.
Without specifics when you write a technique for installation that works better, the readers have to guess what you really did to fix your issue. BTW it is 5,1 not 5.1. Also, drive firmware cannot be modified or changed on the fly, it cannot only be changed with special tools independent of the OS. My Mac Pro 2012 got screwed up by installing High Sierra. It eventually was installed after a firmware update but then thing started down hill. Had lots of trouble authenticating with iMessage.
Then screen started flickering. Then I couldn’t boot, it brought me to disk utility.
It wouldn’t let me restore my boot drive to my recent backup so I had to install Lion first then my back. I’m finally back and running.
I wont be touching High Sierra for a while. I was hoping to use it so that I could update to the new M2 memory blades from Samsung and also maybe a new GPU. Maybe next year.
That is horrible! However it brought up a good point for Mac Pro 2010-2012 users. If you have not done this already. Do a simple search for Firmware Restoration.
Before you attempt to install High Sierra you should create a Firmware Restoration CD. If you have problems. Then do this. 1 If your Mac is on, power it off. 2 Press and hold the power on button your Mac until either the sleep light blinks three times fast, then three times slow, then three time fast (for Macs with sleep lights), or you hear three rapid tones, then three slow tones, then three rapid tones (for Macs without a sleep light). 3 Still holding the power button, insert the Firmware Restoration CD into your Mac’s optical drive. If you have a tray-loading optical drive, gently push the tray closed after inserting the CD.
4 Release the power button. 5 You will hear a long tone, which indicates that the restoration process has started. 6 After a short delay, you’ll see a progress bar. 7 Do not interrupt the process, disconnect power, use the mouse or keyboard, or shut down or restart your Mac during the restoration process.
8 When the update is complete, your Mac will automatically restart. I converted an external drive from HFS to APFS ENCRYPTED. Conversion went fine then encryption in the background started. Disk was working fine.
At some point I switched off the Mac (with presumably encryption still going on. Something I normally did with HFS volumes) but this morning disk was unreadable. I never had problems with encryption with HFS and I am sure that sometimes I even interrupted abruptly connection with disk (encryption can take days so is normal to switch off and also power failure o cable disconnection might happen). But this time (with APFS) it seems I lost access to my disk.
I am asked for the password (although it should be in the keychain), it is accepted, but then nothing happens. Disk is invisible, no icon, and if I go in Disk Utility it is just stuck on turning wheel. Hie there i would like to know regarding format on my secondary harddrive on my macbook pro.At this moment my main ssd drive is on APFS format & my secondary drive im using 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHDshould i format the SSHD into APFS too like my main ssd drive or just leave it as it is Mac Os Journaled?? EtreCheck version: 3.4.5 (455) Report generated 2017-09-22 18:12:32 Download EtreCheck from Runtime: 2:06 Performance: Excellent Click the Lookup links for more information from Apple Support Communities.
Click the Details links for more information about that line. A couple of comments. I just upgraded my 2012 Mac Pro to High Sierra. Firstly, (for those interested) it required a firmware upgrade.
Secondly (and most annoying), I run an OWC Accelsior E2 as my boot drive. Not really sure why, but this drive CANNOT be upgraded to APFS at this time (tech support at OWC was useless – they had no clue about this). Thirdly, contrary to what this article says, the Time Machine drive does not appear to work as APFS (I converted mine, so now have no access to my backups grrrr). I will try reformatting as a clean APFS drive and using that – will report back later if it works. Until us Mac Pro 2010-2012 owners can be absolutely certain, it would be best to wait and see if High Sierra alters the Mac Pro ROM. The best and easiest way to view the APFS drive format is to view it as FAT32. OSX can read and write to Windows drive formats.
APFS is only a concern for those who use versions of OSX Sierra and prior. The APFS drive becomes unreadable to all but High Sierra. The APFS format is just a drive format. The main concern is one that began with OSX Mountain Lion.
Apple began FORCING your computer to attach itself to the internet without your permission or request. This actually began with Snow Leopard but became a threat from Mountain Lion and above. This is “virtually” identical to the processes that causes Windows to be the never ending victim of malware and hackers and as it works out the means.
With each OSX “upgrade” the susceptibility has increased because the “focus” of the system has become internet connection. (same as IOS) The real concern is being forced to buy new software and hardware. “FORCED”, because of a programmed incompatibility whose primary purpose is to sell software and hardware. Mac Pro users Be Wise!!!! Use Disk Utility Restore to create a clone boot drive.
Decide if you want the clone to be an HD or an SSD, or both. Remove all other internal and external drives. Now test High Sierra. Use an HD if you wish to retain GUID. Use an SSD if you wish to test APFS.
If the installer alters Mac Pro ROM you will be sorry and that is the Primary Concern. (not APFS) The secondary concern involves us Mac Pro owners who have 4 or more SSD drives in our computers. (I have 6) Will the High Sierra installer convert ALL GUID formatted SSD drives to APFS or just the boot drive when installing????????? How many drive formats does Disk Utility provide running under High Sierra? SIDENOTES: Did you know that a drive formatted APM with El Capitan cannot be read with Snow Leopard? A drive formatted APM using OSX 10.4 to 10.10 can be read by ALL. Apple has been fiddling with drive formats for quite some time.
You just didn’t know it. Did you know that Tim Cook programmed an expiration into OSX installers that occurs on Valentines Day 2016. This prevents installation of previous OSX. (10.7 to 10.10) You have to change the date of your Mac to something prior to use a downloaded installer. I’ve been thinking about this some more and reading a bit, and now I’m a little more comfortable with what will be happening.
First, saving. For example, a Pages file on either macOS (Sierra or High Sierra) is no different than saving a WORD document created on my Mac that is then read by someone with the Windows based MS Office. Done it lots of times.
So a Pages document created with a machine with APFS or with the old HFS+ will be able to be read by both. The only thing that I now think I need to watch out for is when formatting drives. If, for example, I get a new USB HDD for backup, I’d better format it on my Sierra machine (iMac with Fusion) which will result in an HFS+ formatting. Any files saved on this drive will be able to be read by my iMac and my MacAir (the Air will end up with APFS as it is all SSD).
If I formatted it on my MacAir with High Sierra my iMac with Sierra will not be able to read anything on that drive. It would see at as an unsupported OS, just like it would if I plugged a Windows formatted disk in NTFS.
So, I’m still going to standby for a bit and see how this all comes out for folks. Seems the question for Mac Pro tower users is obvious, but I don’t see it here. Can I update my boot Hard Drive to High Sierra then clone that HD to SSD without High Sierra converting it to APFS? I currently use SSD for ALL my drives.
If I prefer to use SSD AND do not wish to use APFS then my boot drive SSD must first be placed on HD. Then back to SSD. Thus the question is, will HS try to auto convert to APFS? Will HS convert all of my non boot SSD drives internally connected to APFS? Too many Apple users do not realize that the Mac Pro has multiple internal drives. (as many as 10) The discussions orbit around single drive models. The question is valid and two other sources have informed me that you should not have any other drives attached when downgrading to High Sierra.
I am concerned. I have an iMac with Fusion and a MacAir with SSD. I really do not understand what will happen if I create a Pages document on my converted (High Sierra) MacAir, save it to iCloud Drive and then try to read it with my Sierra based Mac.
According to what is written in this article, I won’t be able to work on it on my Sierra based iMac. Surely this is not the case. I’ll bet half the Mac world out their is HDD or Fusion (sort of HDD) based, so where does that leave them when collaborating with people using High Sierra? Another point, will Apple keep maintaining Sierra and updating it as required to keep it working with the Apple Apps?
Surely we folk with HDD based machines don’t have to live with a legacy, unsupported operating system? Although communicating this Apple info was helpful, it didn’t answer my key concerns. I’ll continue to wait and see, after Sept 25th, what problems develop out there. I’m sure there are some that will tackle these questions and let the rest of us not so technical folk know what is going on, underneath the covers, so to speak. (hit submit by accident. ) As I was saying, the way in which files are stored and organized is different in the new file system, but the files themselves are not altered. When you copy them to another drive, (iCloud or otherwise) they are then stored according to the file system on that second drive.
So when your Sierra mac reads the file, its the same old Pages file. All that matters is that the file is on a source that Sierra is able to read. Also you CAN install High Sierra on a Mac with Fusion drives or HDD as long as they meet the hardware requirements otherwise. They just won’t use the new file system is all. I can’t say what Apple will do as far as Sierra updates, but in the past they have continued to provide security updates and sometimes small bug fixes for awhile before dropping it. Apple doesn’t have a great track record of keeping it’s apps compatible with a prior OS though. They always seem to have an attitude of pressing on and devil take the hindmost.
Their theory seems to be that they won’t support those unable to keep up if it means sacrificing “the best”, as in their vision for what the software should be, which often means using features that can’t work on older systems. They also are fond of dragging people into the future, or their vision of it, by dropping support for old programs, forcing upgrades, and removing hardware like floppies, dvds, firewire, USB3, headphone jacks, etc, etc before a lot of people are ready to do it.
I’ve ground my teeth at this since 1984. I feel as if Wayne Szalinski “shrunk” me along with his own kids, and then flicked me like an errant crumb into a bowl of tepid alphabet soup! Oh, and I can’t swim. Seriously, consider the possibility of establishing a glossary identifying acronyms as they come up in your posts, appending new ones as they show up.
The entry would first identify and then explain the expanded acronym. If a reader needed needed to identify some acronym (and considered it worth the trouble), he could look it up. If a reader knew and understood the acronym, she could simply ignore the glossary. No one would be inconvenienced, and a lot of your readers would feel less uncertainty and also learn a lot. I found the name of “one” of the online activation applications that Carbon Copy Cloner will not “clone”. Nalpeiron It is used on Fluid Mask and Perfect Photo (now called On1) as well as others.
It does its job too perfectly. It deactivates applications on valid machines booting with valid clones made with Carbon Copy Cloner. Can’t really blame engineers for protecting engineers from thieves. Disk Utility Restore makes an “Exact” clone CCC does not. Disk Utility Restore is VERY time consuming and has some quirks but does the job. EXTREMELY HELPFUL when updating to a newer version of OSX regardless if the new OSX uses a new drive format or not. Lucky for me, Apple abandoned my 2009 MacPro.
Future OSes are now only VMs for me. The safest way to deal with their screwy changes. Here’s to OWC keeping us supplied with old machines which run the old OS which simply works! 10.10 (Yosemite), IMHO, is the best version of the MacOS one can still lead a productive life with.
10.6 was THE best, but now most software does not support it. I learned early on, avoid the odd number releases. They always introduce radical changes which trigger problems. 10.2/4/6/8/10/12 are all the sound versions. 10.1/3/5/7/9/11 all had a lot of hiccups.
By the time 10.14 rolls around, our boss will be retired and we will be buying PCs. None of the current machines from Apple meet our professional needs. You are correct. Despite some compatibility limits Snow Leopard was the best.
(I still use it regularly) I respond to your post with a tidbit of information regarding your 2009 Mac Pro. Your 2009 Mac Pro will run Sierra just fine. Mine is currently running 10.12.5 without any problems. Trick is, you have to install Sierra on to your 2009 boot drive with a 2010 Mac Pro or newer. The only odd thing experienced is that the 2009 running Sierra will not update any Apple system software.
Other than that update issue, I have had no problems. It is the Sierra installer not the system that is incompatible. Apple’s effort to make you purchase new. (actually force you). The note on TidBITS states that “Macs with hard disk drives and Fusion Drives are not automatically converted to APFS during the High Sierra upgrade. I anticipate that will change at a later date.
You can convert them manually using Edit Convert to APFS in Disk Utility, although there’s no inherent reason to do so immediately.” I totally agree with the statement that there’s no reason for those using HDDs or Fusion Drives to convert to APFS now. If Apple had felt confident of the APFS conversion process for non-SSD drives, they would have been converted all drives automatically Steve. A bit of old age bothers me. I cannot recall the exact name of the online activation application that causes this problem, sorry, perhaps I will find it in my notes. (would be helpful) The answer to your question is NO. This is NOT a deactivation that occurs when some thief tries to run software on a different computer / hardware. This is a deactivation that happens on the exact same computer / hardware and system.
(the origin machine) I contacted Bombich (CCC) directly and no solution could be provided due to the activation method. Restore is a Disk Utility function that will allow a “fully bootable” backup clone to be created. This includes online activated software that deactivates using CCC.
Restore will not and cannot produce a “fully bootable” clone that runs on a different machine because the online activated applications will deactivate AS IT SHOULD. In this message “fully bootable” means that ALL system AND Applications function. (typically fully bootable means the computer will boot so allow the semantics in this instance) You will not need to reactivate any application when Restore is used. Restore pertains to APFS because it is the best method to create a “fully bootable” clone in order to test High Sierra on a Mac Pro using either an HD or an SSD as described.
(preserves the original boot drive) Learning how to use Disk Utility Restore is widely available. Posted to wrong thread. I found the name of “one” of the online activation applications that Carbon Copy Cloner will not “clone”.
Nalpeiron It is used on Fluid Mask and Perfect Photo (now called On1) as well as others. It does its job too perfectly. It deactivates applications on valid machines booting with valid clones made with Carbon Copy Cloner. Can’t really blame engineers for protecting engineers from thieves. Disk Utility Restore makes an “Exact” clone CCC does not.
Industry Note: Yes You Can Translate Your Own Handwriting For Machines
Disk Utility Restore is VERY time consuming and has some quirks but does the job. EXTREMELY HELPFUL when updating to a newer version of OSX regardless if the new OSX uses a new drive format or not. I obviously suffered through this problem first hand. Spending a whole day (or week) explaining to a software company that you are not trying to steal software “can” be done but a bit of humor just happened. I mentioned that CCC will not clone all online application activations and the first response is to accuse me of stealing.
(humor because that is what occurred, and I am very offended) The common problem IS. Telling your online activation that you wish to have the application activated on (for example) Sierra and High Sierra. When you “need” the activation on more than one operating system (on the same computer) you run into severe snags. There are no suppliers who provide online activations for multiple versions of OSX.
The online activation (not all) recognizes each activation as a different computer not a different OSX. The rest is self explanatory. The answer to your question is, NO.
Re-authorizing “can” be done but can be and best avoided. Best idea is to avoid re-authorizing because it also places you on a “pirate suspicion list”. The solution is, Disk Utility Restore.
The point is to create a “fully operational” clone before downgrading to the newest version of OSX. Now that we have new OSX and new drive format (APFS) then a fully operational clone is very wise. PS Unlike most, I run OSX 10.5 to 10.12 as we speak. The majority do not do this and Windows users not at all. This is why online activations do not tolerate multiple versions of operating system. YOU are not supposed to keep anything “older” running. Problem is the list of OSX flaws post Snow Leopard keep growing.
We cannot blame software companies for being paranoid about piracy. Online activations exist because of. (shameful situation where college graduates are degreed professional criminals) Adobe CC is not one that has a problem with online activations on multiple versions of OSX.
I run Adobe CC on multiple versions of OSX through use of Restore and have no problems. Adobe uses computer ID for authorization instead of UUID. Don’t quote me on that authorization method. What I do know about the Nalpeiron system is that it is extremely strict. (good anti piracy stuff) You can take the boot drive you have fully authorized and place it in an external eSata, USB, Firewire enclosure and it will deactivate the application if you boot on the drive externally and attempt to open the application. Evidence suggest that the Nalpeiron system uses UUID. Make note of that.
Even if you use Disk Utility Restore, you must not boot on the cloned drive externally and launch the application. As it works out, you can boot on the drive externally, but must not launch any application that uses Nalpeiron while the drive is external.
Nalpeiron will deactivate the application every time. Restore works perfect if used internally. VERY time consuming should now be self explanatory. Each new “updated” clone is a completely new clone using Restore. My personal solution to the fully functional backup clone is to place all my files on a separate drive.
(files are constantly updated using CCC) Final note: Disk Utility Restore WILL produce fully functional boot drives that will boot on any similar Mac computer. (similar is important obviously) This makes Restore very handy if you own multiple Mac Pros that run multiple versions of OSX.
The rest is common Mac Pro user knowledge. For example, if you need to run Tiger or Leopard on your Mac Pro then you must have a compatible video card installed. (my video card runs 10.5 to 10.12). I will not be upgrading to High Sierra anytime soon as the software up until this point has been extremely buggy in my opinion.
I am comparing the current version of the OS to 10.4.11. I did not have a single issue with 10.4.11, with Sierra I am finding bugs weekly. I reported them to Apple and they haven’t been fixed to this day. I have one bug that is costing me 5 hours a day in lost productivity and I am not a happy camper.
The two buggiest components are Mail and Calendar, with the third runner-up is the Finder. What if my SSD has several partitions that contain different operatings systems? Will the partitioned SSD be converted to APFS? If yes, will the other bootable patitions be affected or even work? For example, my SSD is partitioned into 5 partitions. Each contains a different OS ranging from OS 10.6 – 10.12. What should I do before updating to High Sierra?
Because every partition is bootable, and it is technically one SSD, am I going to be converted to APFS? And is that going to cause the older OSes to fail to boot when I choose to boot from that partition? I must be certain before updating one of the partitions that it isn’t going to adversly affect all the other partitions.
And finally because storage is entirely SSD am I going to have a choice? Or is it going to convert all partitions and leave me with ubbootable partitions? The Aura 480GB replacement SSD for Macbook Pros 10,2 is currently incompatible with APFS as anything been do to rectify this?
Dear Larry, Thank you for your phone call. The SSD we spoke about for your macbook pro will exhibit issue when upgrading to OS 10.13. We are currently working with apple to resolve this issue.
I would recommend not upgrading to 10.13 to a resolution is communicated via our blog. I currently do not have an ETA for this. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day! Sincerely, Liz P. Recent Posts. Macs last a long time.
