I've been trying to update to High Sierra for the last 4 hours. Nothing but errors on Apple's end. I'm apparently not the only one having issues.
Who the fuck gave this update the green light?
I was really only trying to upgrade my iCloud which required the latest OS. I'm going with google drive. Fuck apple.

I thought it would be a good idea since Propellerhead started supporting it with 9.5.2.
I should have followed my instincts. Apple updates are always a shit show.

I had a terrible time updating my ipad mini 2 to iOS11. I had a couple of apps that kept crashing, saw the update to 11 and thought that might be the ussue. I didn't know it is such a major update. It took about 4 days. The culprit is itunes, period, that's why I am responding to your post. What a mess. Anyway, I eventually got iOS11 installed, but it was bloody arduous. My internet is very slow cuz I live out in the sticks...it took about 4 hrs to run the update on ipad (overnight), which didn't work. Only by using itunes and babysitting it (for a further 6 hrs) did the update finally complete.

We are all pretty good at using computers if we found our way to this forum. I really sympathize for the less technologically inclined. They will have to pay money to solve their problems.

Completely agree with you !
Holding users who have expertise in subjects other than computing to ransome simply to use their devices is purely unethical.

It is clearly the path most manufacturers are taking. I have a tumble dryer we call the wrinkler. A total POS. My missus has learned how crack the case and carry out repairs. It needs to be opened up every couple of months. Same with a Stihl chainsaw the local rep sold us on. After 2 years, it was constantly broken; we took it in for service and the very same local qualified Stihl service professionals broke it several times. We had to find a local mechanic with integrity to give a 2nd opinion. It is a shameful way to operate.

I hope you got your new OS sorted :-)

Yikes. Those kids over in Cupertino really need to get it sorted out.
I was never able to update and am still running 10.11 El Capitan. With no issues though, so I guess I have that going for me.
