Nvidia Blames Apple For Mac
Hey Gerfried, Don't go through all that! It's too much trouble. Basically what you need to do is turn off your MacBook Pro completely, then turn it back on, and as soon as you turn it back on Press the 'D' key. It will go into Diagnostics mode.
Once it goes into diagnostics mode and gives you all the info, you can select at the top menu bar 'startup disk.' And then select the default 'Macintosh HD' drive.
It will boot back into 10.13.3 From there you can either trouble shoot 10.13.4 or you can keep 10.13.3 or do as I am going to do tonight, downgrading to a stable Sierra 10.12.6 with a clean install! Hope this helps, Nick. I know someone who had the same error. Quite frankly I use my MacBook Pro for my business and it is at this stage way too risky to keep using High Sierra. I am in the process of downgrading to Sierra.
I suggest staying at 10.13.3 for now until it is safer to upgrade. Another alternative is to re-download High Sierra full version from the Mac App Store, load it on a USB key and install it from scratch, like this 10.13.4 should be installed properly on your system, it has worked for my friend who is also on a 2013 MacBook pro retina. Cheers, Nick.

And that did operate successfully with previous versions of OS: 10.13.3 and previous. OSX10.13.4 apparently ONLY recognizes programs written with 64-bit based coding, etc.
Mac With Nvidia
Matlab 2014a activation key for mac. That is INCORRECT. 10.13.4 still supports 32-bit programs. Even some of Apple's own programs are still 32-bit (DVD Player and Compressor, for example). I have about 20 32-bit applications on my mac, like MPEG Streamclip, or TextWrangler, and they work.
Luis is right 10.13.4 still supports 32-bit applications. The only problem most people are having with NVIDIA graphics cards in all macs (MacBook pros, iMacs, mac pros) from 2013-2015 is the CUDA driver from NIVIDIA with High Sierra. Basically the NVIDIA driver is rendered useless unless the Web Driver Version is Installed. For this reason I downgraded to Sierra (which I've never done before), but have found the general stability of the OS much more reliable, zippy, responsive.
It's no wonder Apple and Craig Fedirighi as well as the whole software development teams will be focusing the next iOS and macOS versions on stability, bug fixes and just running smoothly - and less on new features. I personally believe that this yearly cycle of updating and pushing out new features has downsides as it puts unnecessary pressure to deliver a new product that is not necessarily ready to be pushed out. I remember back in the mid to late 2000's, which was an era comparable to today's in terms of what the OS's deliver, there was no set date for OS X release dates, no promises that every year a new OS would be out. They worked on an OS until they felt like it was time for a release and it was worthy of one. It could be a 2 or 3 years. And of course there were bugs and a period of adaptation for many users, but generally speaking that happens with every new release.
I just don't get this self-imposed yearly cycle, at least not for macOS. I kinda get it for iOS, but not really.
This year since updating to High Sierra on a late 2013 MacBook Pro that was fully spec'd and still beats MacBook pros today on Geekbench, I spent countless hours since September trying to resolve various issues, king of them being NVIDIA compatibility. I use my Mac for my business, and this is an instance where using a Mac doesn't just work. NVIDIA blames Apple, and Apple doesn't know what's going on, neither the Geniuses or online support. Same thing happened last year with Sierra's update btw, where the NVIDIA graphics card was not fucntioning and an Apple Engineer actually contacted me (it had never happened before), and it showed me that this was a serious issue.
This was the post that prompted that: But even on NVIDIA's forum, this isn't discussed. Rather it's discussed in their developer forum, which you can see on this link: My honest advice to anyone experiencing any issues with High Sierra as I have since September is to downgrade to Sierra. I was hoping the big 10.13.4 update would fix things, but it hasn't so after half a year of tinkering, researching, and hoping, I'm back to stability. APFS, HEVC, Virtual Reality, eGPU's, Metal 2 are all amazing features, but not worth it when your Mac's baseline performance isn't even there. Apple Footer.

Google has officially acknowledged an issue with its Backup and Sync tool (for Drive and Photos) that causes the client application to crash on macOS High Sierra. However, the company has blamed Apple for it, saying the root cause is a bug in the Cupertino-based company’s OS. Here’s what a Google employee said late last month on official Drive help forum: There is a bug in High Sierra when rendering the login page. It causes the crash.
We’ll be filing a bug with Apple about soon. Hopefully they fix it soon. In the meantime we will look into workarounds. Basically, users say Backup and Sync crashes while they try logging into their Google account through the tool’s login screen. It’s been over a month since the aforementioned statement was made, so we expect a bug report should have been filed by now. No further update has been provided since then, so it’s difficult to say whether or not Apple has acted on the complaint. However, rest assured as we’ll update you as and when more information surfaces.
Meanwhile, we urge those affected to keep testing Backup and Sync on High Sierra, and let us know as soon as they observe any change in behavior. Note: For those who aren’t aware, support for Google Drive is on macOS High Sierra, which means Backup and Sync is anyway useless for Drive users on the OS.
A fix for that issue is promised to arrive sometime next month. Oh, and yes, we’ve uncovered several other Backup and Sync issues – you can access them by heading.
