verifying progress bar on every file.

Dear Apple Specialist.
I have now checked and YES, it is an issue also with the completely new Macbook Pro in Apple Store.

So, do we have anyone at Apple who is paid to handle such issues, or it is a responsibility of users who have imagined new OS will be able to perform basic OS functions, but were wrong? Maybe it's user's fault after all?

Let's be clear, there can be bugs in the new software, but not where it relates to basic functionality of the OS. That has to be tested before release.

Thanks.

Hello,

My name is Stefano and I write from italy, sorry my bad English. I have the same problem too. When I run very large files, such as mov in 4K, a message "Verify (file name)" appears, the expectations are very long. The message bar is called CoreServiceUIAgent. I contacted Apple support, but they did not fix the problem. They told me that he is known and will soon leave an update. I can not work with my 4K files, the expectations for vision are exhausting.

Thanks so much.

My tests were also using SMB

You're one out of thousands (see other threads and Apple bug reports), so you deserve to put a flag "Lucky man" on your Mac.

Anyway, for the sake of this discussion, your message is quite useless, unless you report:

• version of OSX you are using;
• application you are using to play movies;
• smb.conf and how are you mounting the share
• if your Xprotect service is working and enabled;
• whatever else may need us.

I have the same issue on 2 separate machines and I suspect that everybody has it.

It apparently is XprotectService scanning the file. On local SSD 5.5GB file is scanned in few seconds, so smaller file may not even display the progress bar. But on NAS, the same file takes up to 5 minutes to scan.

SO, it just requires fixing. Checking can be done in Apple offices too, not only users need to test software.

Thanks.

My situation: every single file will be "verified" on my Mac Server in my home network. And for media files, it takes minutes to complete before they can be opened.

Opening the same file again time just repeat the same verifying process.

Reinstalled the High Sierra OS a few times, same result.

This time, Apple appears to have done everything possible to make reverting as difficult as possible.

My time machine backup which was fine just before, suddenly "fails" to restore (even it verifies OK, but "not able to transfer volume") and download of Sierra seems impossible too. I have tried even to use App Store framework, but get denied the download.

So, I would need to revert to El Capitan, which is not what I want to do either.

Finally, I am shocked that this kind of issue still has to be handled by the "support community". At times it seems that "support community" will soon need to actually write an OS which "just works", because Mac OS already does not.

Update on this issue:

According to Apple Support, this "verifying" is an "expected behaviour of the system". They are using some "completely new file type" and everything that is not this "completely new file type", needs to be verified.

However, Apple recognises that waiting 5 minutes for this verifying is not exactly how OS should behave and they are "working on it".

Finally, as this "behaviour" is known already since Beta, I wouldn't hope for any quick success. Obviously, developers do not have large files to handle.

Hello, I was able to get rid of this annoyance. 🙂

Just launch this command in a Terminal opened in the folder that contains the involved files:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine *

It will delete the quarantine flag from file's extended attributes and the verification won't appear. Replace the * with a filename/pattern if don't want it to affect every file.

Hope it helps.
