This, alongside its speed and optimization improvements, makes APFS a great file system format. Similarly, improvements to metadata mean it's very quick to determine file details, such as how much space a folder is taking on your drive.ĪPFS is also more reliable, leading to less file corruption when compared to Mac OS Extended. It became the default format with 2017's macOS High Sierra and offers many benefits over Mac OS Extended, the previous default.ĪPFS is much faster at basically everything-data handling, copying, and pasting are quicker. If you've recently bought a Mac or moved over from Windows, you may be wondering-what is the AFPS format? APFS, or Apple File System, is Apple's newer file system for solid-state drives and flash memory. (Early 2008/2 x 2.But what's the difference between both, and which one should you choose? Here, we'll discuss both file systems and offer a comparison to help you decide. (Early 2008/2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon/ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB/20 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM) Maybe the patcher/startup drive needs to update or be rebuilt with new apple installer before re-applying the patches? Seems a lot of issues with Radeon/AMD is probably the cause of it all, but its pretty much Greek to me - maybe it makes sense to someone here? Gonna go back to my cloned drive in the meantime because this is all a bit crazy and I have work to do Tried the rebuild cache option and then kextcache command in terminal but got this (attached text file) screenfull of errors. VLC plays video (or rather doesn't) in psycho epileptic mode - flashing rapidly back and forth between black and the playlist window while playing audio perfectly. Sometimes (like Stickies app) the window opening just keep reloading over and over (drawing like like a web page) until it gets force-quit. Every window that opens, including menus and dialogs flash black areas or flash a few time and and reload once or thrice.



Unfortunately now I have somewhat of a disaster with windows and video. All seemed to finish installing okay except for the same message that got - saying updates were not completed/installed due to script error (probably the recovery drive issue mentioned earlier because App Store also says there is still an update not finished and has not registered the update to 10.3.5 even though 'about this Mac' reads 10.3.5). Rebooted to the Patcher/startup drive and reapplied it. I just ran the update to 10.3.5 on Mac Pro 3,1.Īll seemed to go okay until it hung like the last update with a white clock spinner frozen.
