macOS Sierra keeps freezing (still)

I have never had any Logitech software installed and I have the intermittent freezing problem. So it must be wider than simply LCC. This is really hard to diagnose since it only happens intermittently - maybe 2-3 times per day. So the whole, boot into safe mode and run in safemode all day long to see if it fixes the problem is really not a viable solution. Save mode cuts out too many things that I need to actually do my work.

So I keep watching, waiting and hoping.

Yup. Ditto. No logitexh software. Just the intermittent freezes Requiring a hard restart. I thought it was because I had an external monitor but just had another freeze with external monitor off.

The random freezes keep coming. Installed the latest Logitech Options today, no change. Freezes with or without Logitech software. I'm actually suspecting iTunes more and more.

I display the Plays column in my playlists and whenever a freeze occurs one or more of the songs I just played aren't marked as unplayed. After the last freeze/hard restart a few minutes ago the last 18 minutes or so of the last songs I played in iTunes weren't marked as played. So it seems something happens and/or stops working in iTunes (or connected to) before a freeze actually occurs. Never this long before, though.

Sierra 10.12.1. Problem remains.

Have you feedback to Apple? I did today. I can stand with this anymore... I've thinking to back to the El Captain 😟

I have the same problem and no logitech device installed

I have the same issue, but, I tested if this is only with Safari. Try another Browser, I've been using Chrome and no more freezing, but if I open Safari, need to power button shutdown.

We have two Sierra Macbooks. One 13, one 15. The problem is now occurring every 20 minutes on both machines. No Logitech, no external screen. Apple you really need to get moving on this, it's serious.

Just remembered - one of our Macbooks runs Chrome, the other Safari. Both freeze.

I thought the problem was only with Safari, since then I´ve been using only Chrome e no more freezing happens until yesterday when I was navigating on App Store in iTunes.

Had the spinning beach ball freeze on 2016 iMac running El Capitan daily for months. Work computer, with Trend Micro running. Freeze would happen under different applications/conditions. Ran Etrecheck and Onyx, looked at crash logs but nothing obvious came up. Updated to Sierra. Same problem. Long story short, I stopped using Adobe reader for pdf documents (using Preview instead) and have not had a crash since (a few months). From reading all the comments about these crashes, my guess is that what worked for me may not work for others. By the way, my MacBook Air with either El Capitan or Sierra never had this problem.

How did you discover that Adobe was the problem?

trial and error. i stopped using several different programs (eg, firefox, chrome, python apps, etc) as much as i could. nothing worked until i stopped using adobe.

Hum.. in my case it is Safari...

I still have the same problem in safe mode, what else should I try?
