MacBook Pro with macOS Sonoma crashes frequently and randomly.

Apple needs to stop this year OS upgrade cycle, they can’t maintain it.

Really?

Which one? MacOS for ARM or MacOS for Intel?

Mine is an Intel MBP and of 2018, Sonoma 14.1 is doing quite well. no glitches, no battery drains, no heating...and, one day after the update, it went back to the Desktop Mode and stays there...

I’m having a similar issue. I’ve noticed it while using HBO Max on my computer monitor when I attach my MacBook Pro and put on a streaming service while I exercise, it inevitably freezes when I try to escape from the streaming service. It didn’t do this at all until I updated to Sonoma. I also have a MacBook Pro M1 one terabytes, 16 gig ram.

I suppose, you should start a new thread. Too many posts, and all these "Me too" will not be read by most users. After all, this is a users for users community, and user can help another, only h/she asks a concrete question. I'm also going to unsubscribe from this thread, just after this post.

The answer marked as the best answer in this thread is not at all the best answer.

If you are interested in getting an answer, please ask a concrete question, in your own thread. Take care!

Yeah, it's just that the rule stop making sense once they started practicing public b words for all their major software. If it were a developer only, or specific kind of thing like an insider program, then I would understand. However, anyone can go get the b word, and for anyone who's completely screwed, because their computer isn't functioning the way it's supposed to, the ability to discuss such software benefits both end users and Apple. Running the b word as taking me from an unusable computer, to a very usable, although slightly hindered, machine.

It could very well be something installed that conflicts with Sonoma, however, I bought my Mac Studio in February, and set it up, clean without using migration, assistant, or carrying over any settings files. Prior to that, I had been migrating my systems over from one computer to the next all the way up to from 10.0 Cheetah to 10.15 Catalina, without any kind of issues like this.

I definitely would prefer to fix this, I really don’t want to spend another 16 to 24 hours setting up my computer all over again, for it to work sleight. They’ve introduced something that broke the system at a very fundamental level, even if it is caused by conflicting software, it seems to be enough people with the issue for them to work through it with the crash log data.

So far, the next release seems to be holding up for me as far as crashing goes, but accessing external drives is horribly slow, and I can’t imagine I have anything installed that could be breaking it at that level.

My chrome is crashing every 10 minutes now, it's completely unusable. Only started when upgrading to Sonoma, brand new 16" top spec MacBook Pro, and can't even browse the internet. I have a lot of tabs open, unsure whether that is the issue, but when cycling through screens, I'm getting the wheel of death. Your OS needs an update.

Is there a 14.2? I have .1 and just looked...nothing available (for me) beyond that.

Asking because my M1 mini Mac crashes daily now and I tried your idea of installing a clean version (for me that's 14.1).

Not an official public release, yet, only in the form of a b e t a. If you don’t see an option for “b e t updates” in System Settings > general > software update, then you just need to sign up for it. Google the public b e t a program and sign up Roth your Apple ID. (sorry, have to put spaces in that word, or they could remove the reply).

macbook Pro 2020 with 32GB Memory 500gb and never had any issues until I upgraded to Sonoma!. Loss of productivity, AUDIO Issues, auto muting, complaints now from people on Teams and Gmeet. Rebooting daily. Rainbow spinner - reminding me of what life used to be like on Microsoft. Hmm..Uninstalled google and reinstalled, removed apps used less tabs and still BOOM!. System constantly freezings, fans go off like a plane is taking off. Also my shortcut to take a picture to show the issues stop working until I reboot full system. Camera that always works then basically says video issue with camera. You name it, it's happening. GREMLINS have taken over SONOMA or way too much Wine ;). I need a resolution to this fast cause my productivity is gone, I need a new personal laptop literally was waiting for the new M3, now delaying new purchase til I see resolution.

and my M2 air crashed one again (14.1.1). This time I copied the crash log and sharing with you:

But what's the solution? How do I complain to the official channel? My macair is now nearly unusable, I can't trust it anymore. The cynic in me says this is just a ploy to get us to pay big bucks to upgrade. No longer an apple fan
