#Waveburner 2017 update#
High Sierra has been out for less than two months and has received two updates so far, as detailed in “ macOS High Sierra 10.13 Supplemental Update Fixes Early Bugs” (5 October 2017) and “ macOS 10.13.1 High Sierra Offers Minor Fixes and More Emoji” (1 November 2017).

If you need the disk space back, you can delete it from there, or later launch it manually when you’re ready to upgrade to High Sierra.

However, TidBITS reader Curtis Wilcox confirmed that the full 5.21 GB Install macOS High Sierra app is downloaded to the Applications folder. Since I’m traveling, it has been difficult to verify certain details. (Do not disable “Install system data and security updates” because that option is essential for protecting your Mac against patched security vulnerabilities (see “ Make Sure You’re Getting OS X Security Data,” 30 March 2016).) That may be better than using limited bandwidth for an unexpected 5 GB download. There’s no real harm in deselecting that checkbox - you’ll just have to wait for updates to download when you decide to install. Apple explains it in a support document - it’s tied to the “Download newly available updates in the background” checkbox in System Preferences > App Store. This automatic upgrade behavior may be annoying, but it was possible with Sierra as well, although no one I’ve talked to remembers Apple pushing Sierra in the same way. Regardless of your opinion of High Sierra, installing it will take quite some time - an hour or more - and you should make sure you have a backup before starting, as per Joe Kissell’s advice in “ Take Control of Upgrading to High Sierra.” You almost certainly don’t want to click Install when that notification appears. That’s confusing - Apple should instead present a Cancel button. If you don’t want to install, the only way to cancel is to click Details, which launches the App Store app and displays the High Sierra description, and then quit App Store. What happens is that Apple’s Software Update automatically downloads High Sierra in the background and then presents the notification shown at the top of this article to the user, offering just two choices: Install and Details. (At least they weren’t scrambling to deal with a bunch of users inappropriately installing High Sierra!) Additional details became available while talking to Jason Dettbarn, CEO of device management firm Addigy, since Addigy’s consultant and MSP customers who had used Addigy to block unauthorized macOS upgrades were scrambling to explain what was going on Happily, because I was flying to MacTech, within minutes of arriving at the hotel, I’d run into Watchman Monitoring’s Allen Hancock, who confirmed my suspicion that Apple was pushing out High Sierra updates. That was too many simultaneous instances to be anything but an automatic push from Apple. I saw that message while on a plane to MacTech Conference, and once I had landed in Los Angeles, I received additional messages from Watchman telling me that my father’s and uncle’s Macs had also downloaded High Sierra. I was surprised, since she’s quite capable on her Mac but never undertakes major upgrades without asking me first. The first hint was an email from Watchman Monitoring telling me that my aunt’s Mac had started downloading the High Sierra installer. I have Watchman keeping an eye on all of our Macs, my parents’ Macs, and my aunt and uncle’s Macs - in other words, the Macs that I’ll have to fix if something goes wrong. Watchman Monitoring sits in the background, looking for events of interest on a Mac and notifying the consultant, MSP, or IT admin who’s responsible for keeping that Mac running. I realized this was happening because I’m testing Watchman Monitoring, an app and service used by Apple consultants, managed service providers (MSP), and large Mac-using organizations. In short, if you get a macOS notification asking you to install High Sierra, click the Details button to launch the App Store app, and then quit it. If you’re running macOS 10.12 Sierra or earlier, and do not want to upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra right now, be careful because Apple has started pushing High Sierra to older Macs and making it easy to upgrade inadvertently.
