MBP 13 2020 won't recognize USB devices from TB dock after sleeping and connecting to the dock. After unplugging the dock MBP crashes and does SMC reset

I understand why nobody at Apple would want to put that in writing. Maybe someone want to explain that particular "engineer" that the 90s are over.

I'm allowing myself to make fun of the word engineer as I am one, working in the computing world :)

This is riduculous, I tested Big Sur Beta 11 and I saw some issues, but I'm not sure they are the same though.

I will happily buy an Apple Silicon machine.

This is certainly not a good method how to say Apple you are not happy with their current support...

It's crazy how majority of Apple customers think - Apple sells stuff for premium prices and can't provide elementary support. They laugh and say thunderbolt is not intended to be hotplug and that we are using it wrong and Apple customers still go and buy another product. This is crazy. No wonder PC users call us sheeps.

The truth is that I have a 2010 iMac which has now had upgraded SSD, WiFi/bt, processor, ram, even graphics card. My laptop before this 2020 MBA was a 2013 MBA. I don’t unnecessarily give Apple my money. But I did think this was a good long term solution. It is not. I do need another long term solution, so if Apple Silicon is it, then I will gladly trade.

This is interesting news to me - I figured it only happened with my Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Display. But it seems like it´s connected to connecting any external display.

Which is a bummer for me: I can´t reboot my Laptop every time before I connect it to an external display - I use it frequently (several times a day) for giving presentations. And all the meeting rooms now use USB-C docks to connect to the display.

Same here. MBP 13 2020 and Elgato Thunderbolt 3 Pro dock. Super frustrating.

I have joined Big Sur beta to see if that might be a better experience, nope.

I get regular crashes as described here, as well as sound devices disappearing and monitors going to sleep randomly.

I have a new 2020 MacBook Air running macOS 10.15.7 and I get this error too after I shutdown. I have an Anker USB C Hub PowerExpand Direct 7-in-2 docking station https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YZ48HCT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with a 26" Dell monitor connected via HDMI. Almost ever time I shutdown the MacBook Air reboots with the below error. I send it to Apple every time. It is quite irritating.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f9c333b66): "[IGPU] sendHostToGucMessage: Firmware communication error: no action response!\n"@icl/sched3/IGGuC.cpp:3626

Same problem here with my MBP13 2020, caldigit dock, crash a lot, no connexion with my Thunderbolt Display. I need to restart to have to have the my second Display. When its waking up, the screen sometimes flash and I need to restart too. And when I unplug and close my Mac it restarts with the "Intel CrashLog recorded due to unexpected reset" error

Excellent news. I'll go ahead and bump up to 11.0.1 (sorry I mistakenly said 11.1 in the previous post. Apologies) Anyway, I too will report how things go. Interesting point on the silent release of Cataline 10.15.7 19H4 I actually liked Big Sur when I originally tried it, I just reverted back (I wish it was that easy) so I could contact support at Elgato, which has been excellent btw. They sent me a tool to run and have been very responsive and helpful.

Also have this problem and paid far too much money to have this issue go unnoticed from apple. I have stopped recommending 2020 mpb13's because of the issue and lack of acknowledgement.

This needs to be fixed ASAP otherwise ill be forced to move my development environment back to windows so I can't get some work done...

Yup. Just plugged in a USB old memory stick to the adaptor, realized I needed to swap for a bigger memory stick, port doesn't work after unplugging the old one, until a restart! Appalling. Carried out my (routine, 30 second) task on my old MBP 2015.

Wow! This even does not work with the Apple Pro Display XDR?!?

Not that it would be an acceptable excuse at all, but given the really limited love Apple had for LG Ultrafine, despite once officially advertising it for the MBP 2016, I sadly was not surprised they do not pay much attention.

However their top of the line ultra expensive pro monitor? Does not work correctly with their top of the line 2020 notebook?? Unbelievable. #OnlyAppleCanDoThat

You conflate my willingness to return this computer and buy an Apple silicon Mac with indifference to whether or not they are held accountable.

They SHOULD be held accountable for this. It’s entirely unacceptable. However, my interest in Apple silicon is not about a potential fix for this. I of course want them to be held accountable and improve the quality of their product. Because net, I like their products, and I want to use better ones.

i have exactly the same problem described in post #1 My machine is a mbpro2020 i5 16gb 1tb. OS 10.15.7

The most annoying part is that my machine crashing with AN ORIGINAL APPLE THUNDERBOLT ADAPATER!!!

This is madness for a 3000€ machine! I am a sound engineer and I use my mb travelling around day by day. THE RELIABILITY is the FIRST things for machines used in Live events...and my BRAND NEW MacBook is absolutely unrelaiable !!!!

Please FIX this ridiculous problem. This is a PRO machine as the name suggest...plugging and unplugging devices is the basic use for a computer !

Don’t tell me that the solution is Big Sur. There’s a problem with Catalina? Fix it !

My secondary machine is a 2010 mbpro core2 and it still works like a charm.

I can only conclude that a 10 years old macbook is more relaiable than a brand new one. Pure madness.

thank you.
