macOS Sierra freeze on iMac late 2009 using Safari

Same here. Hope it stays like this

*** it´s freezing again.

I'm experiencing the problem as well. iMac late 2013, 21,5", Intel Iris Pro graphics. Problem always occurs when running Safari & I really don't want to switch to another browser.

iTunes, or other media, keep on playing, mouse moves until clicked. Then it turns into the beach-ball of ****. System is completely stuck and needs a hard reboot.

Same problem for me with mid 2010 iMac. Very frustrating.

It's a shame what we've got to offer us from Apple 😠

Thats making the most sense so far... we have two 21" Late 2010 models - both show ATI Radeon

I did command-ctrl R on reboot - erased my hard drive, and did a fresh install - similar to what you have done, and still have the issue in Safari.. It seems to happen in google properties and /or facebook the most. Trying Chrome.

This is no reply only a question to the Admin .

Where is my last post

Why is it censored?

it is an imposition

macOS Sierra 10.12.2 beta 1 is now available. If anyone could test it and tell us if the freezes disappear it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have a simulier/the same experience from the first day using macOS Sierra on my iMac 27" late 2009. But I don't think is is caused by Safari. I did a couple of things to investigate the reasons but so far I haven't really found what is causing the freeze.

1) I already performed a hardware diagnosis using the AHT utility provided with the iMac: no hardware problems

2) I _was_ using "Hands Off!" in the past. It gave me a note about a kernel panic with the assumption it was caused by it. I've removed it completely: the freeze still exists two/three times a day

3) I've checked several logs looking for failures/errors related to the freeze and found several other failures for various software I've installed (e. g. Google updater, amazon music). After a complete removal, the problem still exists.

4) I was noted that there may be a problem with the updated bluetooth stack in Sierra (http://www.techradar.com/how-to/computing/macos-sierra-problems-here-s-how-to-fi x-the-most-common-issues-1329043). So I changed my apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse to a USB wired one: no change. The freeze still comping up also with wired keyboard an mouse

5) Deactivate and uninstall Adobe Flash: no changes freeze is still coming up randomly

Each time the freeze happened and e. g. iTunes or iPhone were running, these libraries went corrupt and got checked by a restart of iTunes/iPhoto. In addition to that the HDD sounds like writing an image or crash report on the disk but I don't know where I should looking for. Any idea?

If the screen got frozen I can still remote login to the system using SSH on a different mac connected over WIFI in my home network. Also shared drives/folder keeping available for other devices.

I'm very agree not to can trust on macOS Sierra on my iMac. I won't to make a fresh install without being sure this would solve the problems.

My configuration:

iMac (27 Zoll, Late 2009)

CPU: 2,66 GHz Intel Core i5

RAM: 16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Graphic: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB

Die you get a response?

Three days using Google Chrome instead of Safari and zero freezes for the moment 😐

Tried that. Thanks. Didn't work.

No change. Daily freeze other than mouse.

Same here, iMac late 2009, 27" ATI HD 4850
