iWin32 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Apple: Mac OS X Leopard Apple: Mac OS X Snow Leopard Apple: Mac OS X Lion Apple: OS X Mountain Lion Me: Come, on! There's still OS X Cougar!! Apple: We're out of cat names, let's name OS X after places in California... Me: Great. OS X Hollywood? Apple: OS X Mavericks Apple: OS X Yosemite Me: OS X Hollywood? Apple: OS X El Capitan Me: OS X Hollywood? Apple: LOL let's ditch "OS X", that's so 2001. How about, macOS Sierra! Me: macOS Hollywood does roll off the tongue a bit better. Apple: macOS High Sierra... Me: You better use macOS Hollywood next year, or you'll be seeing a lawsuit from me!! Apple: ***Next Year's prediction*** We're out of California names, let's ditch the whole naming thing: macOS 10.14!! Me: :wallbash: :wallbash: TL;DR: It sounds like Apple had gotten lazy in picking a California name with "High Sierra"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ricoc90 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Do you know that joke of Apple and their OS Names? They got high on Sierra [Mist]. Sierra Mist is a sativa dominant hybrid strain of unknown genetics due to breeder secrecy. This bud is best known for competing in the High Times’ Cannabis Cup and gets its name from the soda Sierra Mist because of the similarities in flavors.

ameris_cyning Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Besides Metal 2, this really doesn't look to be a substantial release. I wonder how this bodes for the future of the Mac. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mieze Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I wonder what their marketing guys have been smoking when they decided to call their next OS macOS High Sierra? Will we see macOS Dope or macOS Crack next year? I think they should have stayed with the cat names. macOS Maine Coon, for example, is still available and sounds far better than "High Sierra"! By the way, there are so many names of cat races available... Mieze 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mieze Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Is there also an new macOS server app? because 5.3 doesn't work anymore with High Sierra Yes, but you need to be a registered developer in order to have access to the macOS Server 5.4beta.

Helipilot2 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yes, but you need to be a registered developer in order to have access to the macOS Server 5.4beta. Mieze From the release notes, “Caching Server, Time Machine Server, and File Sharing advanced options are now built directly into macOS”. All of these features are missing in Server.app 5.3.51 compared to Server 5.3.1 - Services: Caching, File Sharing, Time Machine, Xcode, (never use). Advanced: FTP, Open Directory. Does anyone know where I can find the Time Machine Server in High Sierra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskantraveler Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Time Machine and Xcode are both apps. I never use Time machine, but do use Xcode on occasion. My problem with Time machine is you have to have two hard drives with the second being large enough to hold the boot drive in it's entirety, twice. Which to me is just a waste of space.
