So plan for this and expect that it will freeze the system for that time.

That is expected and described on the Onyx help screen.

Someone is making Onyx available for free, probably working in his/her evenings and other free time, so all of us can have a tool which has been very, very valuable. I do not believe "joke" is the right word here. Did you make a mistake upgrading: Considering number of issues I have with stability of the system and the security issues with HS revealed recently, I think I made a mistake upgrading. Of course, depends on what you do, hardware, and what you expect. So, this varies and only you can answer it. I am sure you have a proper bootable backup of the system from before upgrade, so you can always boot on that, reformat the drive and clone the backup back to main drive - this should take at most few hours and you are back on Sierra. It should be easy fix to go back.Īs to number 1, I DO realize that there is a structure check at the beginning of use of the Onyx program, but the problem is that it is not doing this, it is instead freezing the computer to the point where if you open Force Quit, it says Not Responding as if it is not working at all.Īs to number 2, NO I do not have a bootable backup of the system before the upgrade to HS, that I am aware of, and do not feel that I should be forced to downgrade back to a previous OS, just to use a program, freeware or otherwise. Let me explain that I am not a computer technician for Apple, and do not know the intricacies of resetting OS changes backwards. To do so, go to the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar and select Turn Wi-Fi Off.

Disconnect and reconnect your modem: Unplug your Internet modem and wait for. That is unless it is automatically handled by the OS when the upgrades are done, like on Windows systems, where a Restore Point is created before any major changes. If this is the case, Please provide some advice as to the process of taking advantage of this, and please remember that I am NOT a computer programmer.
