After upgrade to 10.12.2 macbook pro has black screen

Have the same problem with my Macbookpro midi 2010 with 8G ram and 500G SSD after update yesterday to 10.12.2 also when try to login to this machine remotely from VNC i get error from login windows say password wrong

Tried this hack myself, but it didn't work. Possibly because there are so many exact instructions that have to be typed in that I messed one of them up. I eventually bit the bullet and did a Time Machine restore from 10.12.1. Took around 2 hours. Computer worked fine again. Then did two separate backups using CarbonCopyCloner. Disabled one of the CCC Tasks, so that the 10.12.1 backup would still be available. Then downloaded the Combo Update for 10.12.2. Reinstalled using it, and have since done multiple shutdowns and restarts, and computer seems to be working completely normal again. Still going to keep that extra CCC Backup in reserve, though!

I installed the update on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac. No problems on the MacBook, but I have the identical issue on the iMac. I tried every fix mentioned, finally restored from Time Machine, only to find the update downloaded and installed again during the night, and now I'm restoring again! I'll make sure to disable auto update when finished.

Hope there is a fix soon!

did the issue appear even after second upgrade?

the only things that i have out of a "standard" configuration is a wacom tablet ( no mouse ) and dual monitor

Yes. HOWEVER.. I downloaded the combo updater as mentioned in an earlier reply. Just finished installing it, rebooted several times, FIXED!

Knew it was too good to be true!!

As previously mentioned, restored Mac Mini late 2012 system from Time Machine. Worked great for the last 24 hours. (BTW, MacBook 2015 upgraded perfectly). But this afternoon, we had another power interruption, and though it was exceedingly brief according to my wife, the computer is now back to the original state after first upgrade using Delta upgrade. Thought Combo Update had done the trick, but obviously not so. Black screen, perfectly operating cursor, but no reaction to keyboard. Screensaver cranks up after 15 minutes, but then unable to exit it. Thanks goodness I had done a CCC backup with 10.12.1 and saved it. Was able to startup from that disk and am in process of restoring SSD back to 10.12.1. Will not proceed with another update to 10.12.2 until someone figures out what the solution REALLY is!

In my case, all I get is a black screen, no cursor. However, I have WiFi turned off, and when I unplug the Ethernet cable, I get an Apple logo, a progress bar, and a normal login screen. Restarting results in the same behavior. I must disconnect the Ethernet in order to continue the boot.

I'm frightful of this type of slip up after spending months waiting for my new 16 sleek looking mcprs this has forced me to return both, for all we know if a hacker was taking over our computer we would have no idea what's going on this is a major fail and I'm not happy it's taken more than a week for us to see and update to the .2 update. I can't use any of my six computers since I don't know what could be going on with them.

i agree with you

i agree with you Ignited

Might have found a fix for users experiencing a black screen on 10.12.2 with a visible curser:

- Start in safe mode (with computer off, push on button and release then upon hearing chime push shift until both apple logo and progress bar illuminate)

- Since the screen is blank or black, type the first letter of your username

- type your password (be accurate since you can't see your error)

- hit enter

- restart your computer (to get out of safe mode)

This fixed it for me!! Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011)

I tried what you suggested. Holding the Shift button down made the login page appear (although together with some white glitches). I typed the password and the black screen came again. I restarted but I returned into a black screen like nothing had happened.

Finally, I typed my password blindly (single user, so only typed password) and hit return and voila! the desktop reappeared!

Thanks

for me it worked just to enter my account password and hit enter. the desktop appeared immediately.

i've tried hard rebooting, resetting NVRAM etc. without any effect.

Just found iMac with same issue during update of 10.12.2.

Nothing worked except to command-R boot into recovery modeand re-install Sierra. Even booted before that into SafeBoot and got log in. After logging in...desktop went black, cursor moves, Notifications slowly showed but nothing else.

It is taking really long ---60 Mins--- to do so far. Afterward, will download the combo updatet rather than allow Apple to push it again.
