Apple CEO Tim Cook Named Board Chairman of Tsinghua Universi...
Apple CEO Tim Cook is now the chairman of the advisory board of the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management (SEM), and he recently hosted the 20th annual meeting of the committee. The news of his appointment was shared in a recap of the 2019 meeting of the board, which is the 20th annual meeting since the committee was established. Cook has been a member of the Beijing-based university's advisory board since October of 2013. Tsinghua SEM is considered one of the top schools in China, and other advisory board members include General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Dell CEO Michael Dell, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Foxconn CEO Terry Gou, Pepsi CEO Ramon Laguarta, Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and more. Cook took over as chairman from Breyer Capital founder and CEO Jim Breyer, who led the board for the last three years. In a speech at the meeting, Cook said that he plans to work with board members to "promote the development of the college" over the course of the next three years that he will hold the position. Cook's promotion to chairman of the board at Tsinghua SEM comes as Apple struggles to navigate tensions between China and Hong Kong. Earlier this month, Apple pulled the HKMap Live app that protestors were using to communicate police movements after China suggested the app was being used to target specific police officers. Last Friday, U.S. lawmakers condemned Apple's decision and called on the company to reinstate the app, but Apple has not yet responded.

Kuo: ‘iPhone SE 2’ to Feature Improved Antenna D...
The so-called iPhone SE 2 will be equipped with an LCP aka liquid crystal polymer antenna design for improved wireless transmission, according to noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a research note with TF International Securities today, viewed by MacRumors, Kuo said Career Technologies and Murata Manufacturing will begin supplying Apple with antenna components for the ‌iPhone SE 2‌ in early 2020, in time for the device to launch by the end of the first quarter. In previous research notes, Kuo said the ‌iPhone SE 2‌ will have a similar design as the iPhone 8, including a 4.7-inch display and a Touch ID home button, but with a faster A13 Bionic chip and 3GB of RAM. He also expects the device to have 64GB and 128GB storage options and come in Space Gray, Silver, and Red. Like the iPhone 11 lineup, the ‌iPhone SE 2‌ is expected to ship without 3D Touch, which Apple has replaced with a software-based Haptic Touch solution. Kuo predicts the device will start at $399 in the United States. It is worth noting that ‌iPhone SE 2‌ might not be the final name of the device, with iPhone 8s and iPhone 9 speculated as other possibilities. With a larger 4.7-inch display, the device would certainly not be as portable as the original iPhone SE, which has disappointed some fans of the original device. Many of these details have been corroborated by Bloomberg, Nikkei, and other sources.Related Roundup: iPhone SE 2This article, "Kuo: 'iPhone SE 2' to Feature Improved Antenna Design, Production Will Begin in Early 2020" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

DigiTimes: 16-Inch MacBook Pro to Launch by End of October W...
Apple's widely rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro will be available by the end of October, suggesting that an announcement is imminent, according to supply chain sources cited by hit-or-miss industry publication DigiTimes. 16-inch MacBook Pro concept by MacRumors The report claims Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta Computer has already begun volume shipments of the 16-inch MacBook Pro, which the supply chain sources expect to feature a more reliable scissor keyboard, an "ultra-thin bezel design," and Intel's latest Coffee Lake Refresh or Ice Lake processors, although Intel has yet to announce Ice Lake chips appropriate for a high-end MacBook Pro. The slimmer bezels would result in the 16-inch MacBook Pro being around the same size as the existing 15-inch model despite having a larger display. IHS Markit analyst Jeff Lin said the notebook's resolution will be 3,072x1,920 pixels. Last week, icons depicting a MacBook Pro with slimmer bezels in Silver and Space Gray were uncovered in the macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta, lending credence to an upcoming release. Both icons were created just over a week ago, have "16" in the filename, and reference an unreleased MacBookPro16,1 model. 15-inch MacBook Pro icon on left, possible 16-inch MacBook Pro icon on right via MacGeneration Apple's plans to release a 16-inch MacBook Pro were first revealed by Ming-Chi Kuo, who back in February said the notebook would be released in 2019. Kuo later said the notebook would be equipped with a scissor keyboard. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has also reported that the notebook is coming in 2019. Apple is expected to position the 16-inch MacBook Pro at the high end of its notebook lineup, with existing 15-inch and 13-inch MacBook Pro models remaining available and following suit with scissor keyboards in 2020, according to Kuo.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: digitimes.comBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Caution)This article, "DigiTimes: 16-Inch MacBook Pro to Launch by End of October With Ultra-Slim Bezels and Scissor Keyboard" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple TV+ Executive: ‘We’re Not Doing Demographi...
WIRED has published a lengthy feature about Apple's foray into streaming video, and while many of the details are known, the article serves as a nice primer ahead of the launch of Apple TV+ on November 1. In an interview, Apple TV+ co-chief Zack Van Amburg said Apple is focused on quality rather than demographic programming. "No one here is sitting around saying we need to find the next show for males 18 to 34, or the next show for females older than 32. We're defining our programming by quality." While TV shows on traditional networks are often aimed at capturing viewers between the ages of 18 and 49, a key demographic for advertising, Apple TV+ can avoid this since the subscription-based service has no commercials. One of Apple TV+'s first series will be Ronald D. Moore's space-race drama "For All Mankind," with the article noting that Moore pitched the series with an impressive level of detail spanning up to seven seasons:On the wall, a series of timelines and character profiles helped illustrate how the show might progress over the seven seasons that Moore and his writers had broken down. "The level of detail was overwhelming," Erlicht says. "Every aspect of the butterfly effect that would happen from the slightest change in that event." The executives walked out into the hallway, grinned at each other, and negotiated which one of them was going to give Moore the good news.Apple TV+ will be available on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and other platforms, including online at tv.apple.com, for $4.99 per month with a seven-day free trial. Since September 10, customers who purchase any iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, or Mac can get one year of Apple TV+ for free.

iOS 13’s Dark Mode Extends OLED iPhone Battery Life, T...
When Dark Mode was marketed as a headline feature in iOS 13, Apple promoted it as an alternative new look that was easier on the eyes when viewed in dark environments. Oddly though, Apple never mentioned that it also potentially offers energy-saving benefits – particularly for OLED iPhones, since pixels on an OLED panel are individually powered and true black pixels remain inactive. That potential battery saving has now been put to the test. In an experiment shared on YouTube, PhoneBuff used robotic arms to interact with two fully charged iPhones running ‌iOS 13‌, with one running in ‌Dark Mode‌ and the other in Light mode. The robots worked their way through various native and third-party apps, all of which support both iOS display modes, until the iPhones died. The results are pretty conclusive: The test found that an iPhone XS Max using ‌Dark Mode‌ uses up significantly less battery than an ‌iPhone XS‌ using Light Mode. When the Light Mode-enabled ‌iPhone XS‌ died, the ‌Dark Mode‌ ‌iPhone XS‌ still had 30 percent battery life remaining. PhoneBuff notes one important variable in his test that conditioned the results: The iPhones both had their displays set to 200 nits brightness. At 100 nits, which is what you'd expect indoors, two hours on Twitter saved just 5 percent more battery in ‌Dark Mode‌. The same test performed at 300 nits, which is closer to outdoors use, saw ‌Dark Mode‌ save 12 percent battery. How to Enable Dark Mode in iOS 13Either way, the test appears to prove that ‌Dark Mode‌ is a significant battery saver for OLED iPhones, which include the iPhone X, ‌iPhone XS‌, and iPhone 11 Pro, but not the iPhone XR or iPhone 11. You can watch the video embedded above for the full lowdown.Related Roundups: iPhone XS, iOS 13, iPadOS, iPhone 11 ProBuyer's Guide: iPhone 11 Pro (Buy Now)This article, "iOS 13's Dark Mode Extends OLED iPhone Battery Life, Test Confirms" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple has targeted a 2020 release for its augmented reality headset, although the timeframe could be pushed back if the product needs more development, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Google Glasses The report claims the glasses are expected to wirelessly pair with an iPhone to display information such as messages, emails, and maps over the wearer's field of vision. It would also be possible to play games on the headset, with Apple reportedly considering having an App Store for the headset. Apple has a few other releases planned for later in 2020, the report adds, including Apple Watch models with sleep tracking and Macs with custom Apple-designed processors that are expected to be ARM-based.Related Roundups: Apple Watch, watchOS 6, Apple GlassesTags: bloomberg.com, Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now)This article, "Bloomberg: Apple Targets 2020 for Release of AR Headset, Apple Watch Sleep Tracking, and ARM-Based Macs" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

U.S. Lawmakers Call Apple’s Move to Remove HKMap Live ...
U.S lawmakers on Friday sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook expressing concern over Apple's decision to remove the HKMap Live app from the App Store after complaints from the Chinese Government. The letter [PDF] calls Apple's removal of the HKMap Live app "disappointing" and points out a prior quote from ‌Tim Cook‌ that reads "At Apple, we are not afraid to say that our values drive our curation decisions." The HKMap Live app, which was used by protestors in Hong Kong to crowdsource information about street closures and police presence, was pulled from the App Store in early October. Apple later reversed course and approved the app, allowing it back into the ‌App Store‌, but after China accused Apple of "protecting rioters," Apple removed the app once again and it has remained unavailable. According to U.S lawmakers, the HKMap Live app lets peaceful demonstrators to share locations to keep out of harm's way. Apple, says the letter, has also censored "at least 2200 apps in China," including VPN apps and apps made by and for "oppressed ethnic minorities." The letter goes on to accuse Apple of complicity in China's efforts to block change, and questions whether Apple is willing to bow to Chinese demands to avoid losing access to Chinese consumers.You have said publicly that you want to work with China's leaders to effect change rather than sit on the sidelines and yell at them. We, too, believe that diplomacy and trade can be democratizing forces. But when a repressive government refuses to evolve, or, indeed, when it double down, cooperation can become complicity. The Chinese government is growing more aggressive in its attempts to dictate terms to U.S. corporations, as last week's headlines involving Apple, the National Basketball Association, and Activision Blizzard make clear. Cases like these raise real concern about whether Apple and other large U.S corporate entities will bow to growing Chinese demands rather than lose access to more than a billon Chinese consumers.When the app was pulled for the final time, Apple CEO ‌Tim Cook‌ told Apple employees that based on "credible information" from Hong Kong police, the app was being used to target individual officers for violence.It is no secret that technology can be used for good or for ill. This case is no different. The app in question allowed for the crowdsourced reporting and mapping of police checkpoints, protest hotspots, and other information. On its own, this information is benign. However, over the past several days we received credible information, from the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau, as well as from users in Hong Kong, that the app was being used maliciously to target individual officers for violence and to victimize individuals and property where no police are present. This use put the app in violation of Hong Kong law. Similarly, widespread abuse clearly violates our ‌‌App Store‌‌ guidelines barring personal harm.The letter from the lawmakers ends by urging Apple to reverse course and re-allow the HKMaps on the ‌App Store‌.In promoting values, as in most things, actions matter far more than words. Apple's decisions last week to accommodate the Chinese government by taking down HKMaps is deeply concerning. We urge you in the strongest terms to reverse course, to demonstrate that Apple puts values above market access, and to stand with the brave men and women fighting for basic rights and dignity in Hong Kong.The letter was written by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Sen. Maro Rubio, R-Fla., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., and Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J. A similar letter was also sent to Blizzard following Blizzard's decision to ban Ng Wai Chung, a Hearthstone player who voiced support for the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

Quanta did not reveal details of the vehicle or the tests. While noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that a so-called "Apple Car" could launch by 2025, in line with various reports claiming that Apple has been developing an electric vehicle, other reports have suggested that Apple has been focused solely on underlying autonomous technologies and systems. Quanta is best known as the primary assembler of the Apple Watch since 2015, but a separate DigiTimes report claimed that the company may stop assembling the Apple Watch in 2020 due to "profit concerns."Related Roundup: Apple CarTag: QuantaThis article, "Quanta Reportedly Supplying Apple With 'Autonomous Driving Solutions'" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Google Pixel 4’s Face Unlock Feature Works With Eyes C...
Google has ignited security concerns over the facial authentication system in its new Pixel 4 smartphone by admitting that it will unlock the device even when the user's eyes are shut. Google unveiled the Pixel 4 this week to mostly positive reviews, many of which praised the phone for is super-fast new face unlock system, which replaces the fingerprint sensor and works much the same as Apple's Face ID on iPhones, except for one key security feature. The BBC has discovered that the Pixel 4 can be unlocked even with the user's face even if they're sleeping (or pretending to be asleep). That contrasts with Apple's Face ID system, which engages by default an "Attention Aware" feature that requires the user's eyes to be open for the iPhone to be unlocked. Attention Aware can be disabled for convenience, but the Pixel 4 lacks an equivalent security feature entirely. Proof, for those asking #madebygoogle #pixel4 pic.twitter.com/mBDJphVpfB— Chris Fox (@thisisFoxx) October 15, 2019 To its credit though, Google isn't hiding this fact. A Google support page reads: "Your phone can also be unlocked by someone else if it's held up to your face, even if your eyes are closed. Keep your phone in a safe place, like your front pocket or handbag." To "prepare for unsafe situations," Google recommends holding the power button for a couple of seconds and tapping Lockdown, which turns off notifications and face recognition unlocking. In early leaks of the Pixel 4, screenshots revealed a "require eyes to be open" setting for face unlock, so it looks as if Google tried to implement a similar feature to Apple's Attention Aware, but couldn't get it working in time for the device's launch. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Speaking before the launch, Pixel product manager Sherry Lin said: "There are actually only two face [authorisation] solutions that meet the bar for being super-secure. So, you know, for payments, that level - it's ours and Apple's." Cyber-security experts disagree. "If someone can unlock your phone while you're asleep, it's a big security problem," security blogger Graham Cluley told the BBC. "Someone unauthorized - a child or partner? - could unlock the phone without your permission by putting it in front of your face while you're asleep." In a statement given to the BBC, Google said it would "continue to improve Face Unlock over time."Tags: Google, security, Google Pixel, Face IDThis article, "Google Pixel 4's Face Unlock Feature Works With Eyes Closed, Sparking Security Concerns" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

16-Inch MacBook Pro Possibly Referenced in macOS Catalina 10...
Alleged references to the widely rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro have been uncovered by a reader of the French blog MacGeneration in the first two betas of macOS Catalina version 10.15.1, which has been in testing since last week. The icon looks similar to the 15-inch MacBook Pro asset that is included in previous versions of macOS, but with slightly thinner bezels. The notebook is depicted in both Silver and Space Gray, with "16" in both filenames. These assets could easily be faked, so we recommend treating this report with some skepticism. Earlier this year, noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple is readying a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an all-new design, including the return of a more reliable scissor mechanism keyboard, for release by the end of 2019. However, it is unclear if the notebook is still planned for this year or has been pushed back to 2020.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Urges U.S. Senate to Pass the Fairness fo...
Apple CEO Tim Cook this week tweeted in support of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, urging the U.S. Senate to move quickly to pass the bipartisan bill, which would eliminate per-country limits on employment-based green cards and increase per-country limits for family-sponsored green cards. "Immigrants make this country stronger and our economy more dynamic," said Cook. "As a first step toward needed comprehensive reform, I urge the Senate to move quickly to pass the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. The contributions of these workers are critical to America's future." The U.S. House of Representatives passed the High-Skilled Immigrants Act in July, but the Senate has so far blocked the bill. Apple and Cook frequently back pro-immigration legislation. Earlier this month, for example, Cook lent his name to Apple's amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy that protects "Dreamers" from deportation. Immigrants make this country stronger and our economy more dynamic. As a first step toward needed comprehensive reform, I urge the Senate to move quickly to pass the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. The contributions of these workers are critical to America’s future.— ‌Tim Cook‌ (@tim_cook) October 17, 2019 Note: Due to the political nature of the discussion regarding this topic, the discussion thread is located in our Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum.

Report: ‘AirPods Pro’ to Launch End of October w...
Apple's rumored next-generation noise-canceling AirPods will launch at the end of this month with a new "Pro" moniker and a price tag of around $260, claims a new Chinese-language report this morning. According to China Economic Daily, Apple's third-generation ‌AirPods‌ will adopt a new in-ear design to support the new noise-canceling feature and enhance the listening experience. The paper claims the "Pro" suffix, which Apple recently adopted for its most expensive iPhone 11 models, will help to differentiate the new wireless earbuds from Apple's existing ‌AirPods‌ and underscores the marketing rationale justifying the higher $260 price tag. According to a separate report on Friday from the same Chinese-language financial media outlet, the ‌AirPods‌ Pro will also feature a new metal design that increases heat dissipation. Apple ‌AirPods‌ supplier Inventec is said to be cooperating with Chinese manufacturer Lixun to undertake the new orders. In April, noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said two new ‌AirPods‌ models would likely go into mass production between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, with Luxshare, Goertek, and Amkor serving as primary suppliers. Kuo also claimed one of the new ‌AirPods‌ models will feature an "all-new form factor design" and a "higher price" than the second-generation ‌AirPods‌, which cost $159 with a standard charging case and $199 with a wireless charging case. The other model is expected to be a more iterative update with the same pricing, although it's unclear what any new features would be. Previously, the ‌AirPods‌ expected to launch later this year were thought to be the more iterative pair that Kuo refers to. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said he expects the higher-priced AirPods with water resistance and noise cancelation to launch as early as 2020. However, today's report suggests they could come sooner. According to industry sources previously cited by DigiTimes, Apple's suppliers are gearing up to assemble the next-generation ‌AirPods‌ as early as October, suggesting an updated version of the earphones could arrive in time for the holiday shopping season. In the beta version of iOS 13.2 there's an icon showing redesigned AirPods that appear to have rubber ear tips that would likely be needed as part of a noise cancelation feature. The image is contained in the Accessibility Settings folder, suggesting the new ‌AirPods‌ will contain a new accessibility feature such as being able to use them as hearing aids, or it could be related to existing Live Listen capabilities. No specific date has been given for when the new ‌AirPods‌ could debut, but Apple has a number of rumored pending announcements that could point toward an October media event.

This works as long as you perform a search for regular expression. The technique used to do the regular expression replace is "template matching", where you can use $0, $1, $2 and so on, to specify which text of the capture group will be substitued. $0 will be replaced by the contents of the matched range, $1 by the contents of the first capture group, and so on. Additionally, backslash character '' can be used to suppres any special meaning for the next character. Backslash escaping in replace text is only required for '$' and '', but may be used on any other character without bad effects. For additional information, see NSRegularExpression. The "Editor" menu was split into two menus: "Tree Editor", which contains the items which make sense while you're in JSON Tree Editor, and "Text Editor" which contains the items which make sense in JSON Text Editor mode. Adds preference for how much to indent the text. This is available from "Preferences" - > "View and Edit" - > "Indent using". Completely removed the sending of crash reports and analytics from the app. Note that until now the sending happened only if you explicitly allowed it to happen. OS X 10.11 or later Download Now

CurrentKey Stats 2.0 – Track & organize your workf...
CurrentKey Stats lets you take control of your time and learn about your habits! Stats at a Glance: CurrentKey Stats makes it super easy to get an idea of how your day is going. Just click the menubar icon (or dock icon) to access your day's summary. Here you'll see your time spent in the day's top apps and a "More about your day" section, with highlights like what time your day started and when you got back from lunch. Because this view is accessible in a popover, you can get your stats even when you are full screen. Privacy-First: Unlike some competitors, which sync users’ data to the cloud, CurrentKey Stats *always* keeps your data local on your device. This keeps it private and secure. Deep Dive: Pour over the specifics of your app usage by clicking the App Stats button. Here you will see satisfying bar and pie graphs of how you've used your apps over the last 48 hours and week. Go Further: Look at your app usage statistics across the past 30 days, as well as compare this week versus last week, hour by hour, with the Stats Plus upgrade. Buying this package also enables downloading .csv data reports for every pie and bar chart included in the app (a total of over 12 reports), so you can go back to your logs at any time. Rich Context for Stats and Desktop Management: CurrentKey Stats lets you organize by "Rooms" so that you see all the apps' usage organized by whatever workspace your were in. You can assign a name for each Room (what we are calling the virtual desktops that your Mac lets you create), so you can filter time spent in apps by the Room you were using them in. For instance, you could name one "Work Project" and another "Game Time," so you can see how much time you were working vs goofing off. You can even jump directly to specific desktops by name, all from that menubar popover (or via a custom hotkey, if you prefer)! Customize Your Environment: Once you get the hang of Rooms, you'll be swiping between them like a pro. For fast reference when swiping between them, CurrentKey Stats lets you pick out a unique menubar icon for each one. Handy! A Distinct Look: Want to customize each Room icon with color, borders, and more shapes? CurrentKey Stats gives you access to 250+ solid art-style icons, as well as the ability to add a bottom border to the icons and make them any custom color!Version 2.0: Note: While the software is classified as free, it offers in-App Purchases.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 – An Operating System Made b...
Mac OS High Sierra launched with a few new features such as an enhanced Apple Photos with new capabilities and many security updates and fixes. There were also quite a few tweaks and fixes that made users want to get the latest Mac OS High Sierra download at the time. The Mac OS High Sierra release date was September 25, 2017. Its features and changes are mainly in the background of this release, so users won’t see an awful lot of differences between Sierra and High Sierra. Mac OS High Sierra compatibility starts with late 2009 iMacs and Macbooks, and mid to late 2010 Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs. Its requirements are at least 2 GB of RAM, and 14.3 GB of disk space. High Sierra is still available for download for a clean install. The installer also allows for system reloads if you don’t want to reinstall from scratch. This release has interesting features that users might not notice at first as the real changes were done to the core of the OS.  When making comparisons such as Mac OS Mojave vs High Sierra it is important to note that both versions of the OS still have support for 32 bit applications. Download Mac OS High Sierra and access its features Photos Mac OS High Sierra brings with it changes to Photos. Photos now has an updated sidebar as well as some new editing options and tools.  Another enhancement is that Photos now synchronizes tagged people with your devices that are running iOS 11. Mail Other improvements include Mail and Spotlight search enhancements. This includes results with with Top Hits. Big system changes and optimizations means that Mail requires 35% less storage space.  Usability changes like Mail's compose window also add extra levels of functionality to the app. Mail now has a split-screen mode. Safari "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" is a new feature that utilizes machine learning which assists with blocking unauthorized sources from tracking the user activity.  Safari now blocks auto playing videos from starting automatically. "Reader Mode" has the option of being switched to always-on mode.  Another good backend change is that Safari 11 also supports WebAssembly in this release. Notes An update to the Notes app now allows the user to add tables to notes. A note can also be pinned to the beginning of a list so that it shows as being prioritized. Siri Siri’s voice has been upgraded and now features a more human like expressive range. Again, machine learning is used to help Siri to better understand user interactions. Siri now carries your experience over to all Apple devices, giving you a much better integration than in Mac OS Sierra. FAQ Is Mac OS High Sierra still available? Yes, Mac OS High Sierra is still available to download. I can also be downloaded as an update from the Mac App Store and as an installation file. Compatibility is very similar to Mac OS Sierra and requires a Mac from late 2009. There are newer versions of the OS available too, with a security update for 10.13.1. How to download Mac OS X High Sierra? The best way to download Mac OS X High Sierra is via a direct link download. This is primarily because Apple has hidden the installer from the Mac App Store. This means that users that search for the installer will not find anything if they have a newer version of Mac OS. Users can download the app via a direct link and then install it that way. Can I install High Sierra on my Mac? Yes, you can install it on your Mac if you have an older version of Mac OS. There are some cases where you might like to downgrade your Mac OS to a previous version, and this is also achievable with the High Sierra installer. It is also possible to make a bootable Mac OS High Sierra USB drive. Will Mac OS High Sierra work on my Mac? If your Mac has the minimum specifications that are required then you will be able to run the OS with no problems. The minimum requirements are 2GB of RAM and 14,3 GB of storage space available on your hard drive. You will need a late 2009 iMac or a mid to late 2010 MacBook to run High Sierra. How do I get back to High Sierra from Mojave? In order to revert back to High Sierra from Mojave you will need to have the High Sierra installer. By running this installer, you will be able to run through all of the options and install it on your Mac device. The installation file for High Sierra might not show up in your Mac App Store.Version 10.13.6: AirPlay 2 for iTunes: Control your home audio system and AirPlay 2-enabled speakers throughout your house Play music at the same time on multiple AirPlay 2-enabled speakers in your house, all in sync Other improvements and fixes: Photos not recognizing AVCHD media from some cameras Mail users not being able to move a message from Gmail to another account iMac: Late 2009 or later MacBook: Late 2009 or later MacBook Pro: Mid 2010 or later MacBook Air: Late 2010 or later Mac Mini: Mid 2010 or later Mac Pro: Mid 2010 or later Download Now
