Since updating to High Sierra when i try and access files form my other mac I get a 'verifying' pop up which hangs for ages before opening the file.
I'm not using any kind of file encryption.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13)
Here is the solution: if you have Avira installed in your Mac, uninstall it and see if the problem got fixed. If not, then the problem can be fixed through clean re-install the Mac OS latest version. And don't install Avira for Mac until it fixes the bug. (Avira is working fine with 10.13.1, but not 10.13.2)
I had the same problem after I upgrade by system from 10.13.1 to 10.13.2, and I tried all the methods recommended by other people, but those solutions just won't work for me. So I did a clean re-install my system, and the problem was fixed until I install the latest Avira to my Mac... There must be some kind of bugs that Avira has on 10.13.2. Once I uninstall the Avira, the problem just goes away.
To find this problem it took me 2 days, and I clean re-install the Mac OS 3 times to check at when and how the problem showed up....Hope my method will fix your problem as well.
In the end I downgraded to Sierra and the problem resolved. Couldn’t make it work any other way. Very annoying.
I also downgraded to Sierra as well to solve the issue. Luckily I had a Time Machine backup of my system while it was on Sierra. So I just did a Time Machine restore of that.
The same is happening to me. I thought it had some relation to the FileVault (in "Security & Privacy"), so I turned it off, but there was no difference at all in the Verifying process. Now FileVault is telling me "Decrypting (13 hours remaining)" and it doesn't let me to switch and turn it on again.
how do u downgrade to Sierra?
