Question: Q: Pages won't open docx documents I am giving up on Word and want to switch to another word processor. I do light-duty stuff, almost all text and tables, very little in the way of page layouts aside from pasting in an occasional graphic or photo. Jan 30, 2017 People looking for Night Shift support in High Sierra 10.13.2 you should visit my follow up Supported Mac models for Night Shift in High Sierra 10.13.2. Night Shift was introduced in macOS Sierra 10.12.4 (Build 16E144f and Public Beta-1) and is controlled by the CoreBrightness.framework and you’ll need at least one of the following – or later – Mac models. I think you need to buy Microsoft for Mac. For instance, I have MS Word for Mac 2011. It works fine with Sierra 10.12.5. I'm not sure if your recipient could open the files, though, since Word 2000 might be an older version than 2011. Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming macOS Sierra 10.12.6 update to developers, a little less than week after seeding the third beta and more than a month after releasing macOS Sierra. AutoCAD 2011 runs on 2013 MBP 15, won't load on machines with 3000 or 4000 integrated graphics CleanMyMac 3 will prompt to install a beta release that supports Sierra (3.5b2) DxO OpticsPro Elite 10.5.4: image work area reduced to a ⅓ in size, hardly workable this way.
But it shows that Parallels assumed newbie users, whereas VMware assumed more technical Mac users. Ironically, what Fusion won't do is connect you to the Mac App Store to download a fresh copy of the installer, as Parallels Desktop does. You need to get it yourself, which is not at all difficult. Which is better vmware fusion or parallels. Like Parallels Desktop, Fusion can't install Mac OS X from an existing partition, a Time Machine backup, or a disk image.
People looking for Night Shift support in High Sierra 10.13.2 you should visit my follow up. Night Shift was (Build 16E144f and Public Beta-1) and is controlled by the CoreBrightness.framework and you’ll need at least one of the following – or later – Mac models: MacBookPro9,x iMac13,x Macmini6,x MacBookAir5,x MacPro6,x MacBook8,x Apple did not release any information about this. Not just yet, but I know this because I located the checks for it in said framework, and there it checks for matching Mac model names: MacBookPro iMac Macmini MacBookAir MacPro MacBook Night Shift is however not supported – by Apple – on older Mac models.
There are checks for minimum requirements, which I looked up with help of: nm /S*/L*/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/CoreBrightness grep _ModelMinVersion 01d490 S _ModelMinVersion Ok. Now we know the offset. Time to dump the data with help of: xxd -s 0x1D490 -l 24 /S*/L*/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/CoreBrightness 0001d490: 0900 0000 0d00 0000 0600 0000 0500 0000 0001d4a0: 0600 0000 0800 0000 MacBookPro 9,x iMac 13,x Macmini 6,x MacBookAir 5,x MacPro 6,x MacBook 8,x I opened the CoreBrightness binary in a hex editor (app) and change the coloured byte that matches with the used hardware. After that I saved the file and copied it to the original location. The next step is to re-sign the patched framework binary with: sudo codesign -f -s - /S*/L*/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/Current/CoreBrightness Well. Now you know how I did it, and in case you happen to own a Mac model that isn’t supported, yet, then you could try to patch the matching value in CoreBrightness.framework as some readers here confirmed that this is working for them with older/unsupported hardware.
