System freezes since High Sierra

Has somebody tried the new update 10.13.3? Does the freezing still occur?

Hi There,

I'm also have the same issues on my MacPro. Completely random, but in my case it never recovers. The I can move the mouse cursor but that is it. Each time I have to physically power down the system and reboot. I am going to try an erase my HD and fresh install High Sierra. I hope that correct it, if not I will be posting a For Sale ad, as I am fast losing confidence.

Thanks,
Vik

Same here on a 2012 MacBookPro. Started right after installing High Sierra. The mouse is still responsive but nothing happens. I've checked everything. Nothing in the log files right before I force a reboot.

Sounds like the same problem I am having with my 2012 retina Macbook Pro after installing High Sierra. The mouse still works but nothing responds, and it happens every few days. I need to power down the computer to get it working again. I have tried resetting the PRAM, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I have not tried a clean install of High Sierra yet.

Same issue on my 2013 early macbook pro. The laptop freezes randomly every day, mouse can move but system is not responsive to any mouse clicks or keyboard events. I have to push the power button to force reboot almost everyday. Hope you can find the problem and fix it soon.

Same problem. Mac Pro (Late 2013); 3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5; 32 GB. 3 displays. Wacom tablet.

Waking from screen saver is particularly risky.

Do Apple have just one MacBook in their offices that they develop for?

Once your Mac is 3 years old, and certainly by the time it’s 4, Apple will make sure an upgrade to their latest OS will, basically require you to buy a new computer. For years they would just significantly slow your computer down. This time they keep you running quickly, but freeze your system to the point where you can’t take it anymore. As if with all the incredible developers and tremendous stockpiles of cash they have at Apple, hey couldn’t make a computer that would last more than three years! I’m having the same freezing issues in my 2013 Mac book air. If anyone figures out how to resolve, I’d love to hear it. But my guess is there will be no resolution from Apple, only insistance that it’s time for a new computer.

I absolutely agree that this IS a strategy that Apple uses.

I'm not sure if this freezing were due to that, by its not far from it.

I had an Apple TV 2nd Gen. The last update apple pushed introduced a bug that'd cause crashing while streaming videos. Downgrading the OS completely resolve the issues. but then apple updates the device if you leave it running. And the crashing would continue. Apple said it had no plans to issue further updates. (2 trips to Apple Store, got a free replacement to 3rd gen, which did not crash - magic)

iPad 2/iPhone 4: my ipad 2 that I used for minor tasks become completely unusable with ios 7 and then ios 8. With each update I hoped a fix would solve the issue. Apple store first denied the issue, a low level guy said "everyone know older devices get slower over time" which the manager later apologized for (truth).

There was a klas axn for iphone 4 on this very same issue. Given Apple does testing on all devices, and that they promise better performance after updates, I can hardly believe these are coincidences.

I have parked our iOS devices at iOS 10 and just downgrade my late 2013 MBP to 10.12.

My next laptop will be Purism, out of self respect.

that's great to hear. Where can I get this version? Is it only for developers? That's what I'm finding online about it - that developers can try it. I'd love to discover it's stops the freezes which are occurring more and more now.

Also, just to confirm Alex, what year computer are you using? Mine is 2013 mac book air

Same here. High Sierra froze at first and then locked me out completely of a MacBook Pro late 2014. Now my partner's 2013 Mac is starting to freeze up. I will be opening a complaint with Apple. I run my business on line and had to buy a new computer. I think they owe me. What do all of you think about that?

Can somebody please confirm that the problem is gone with 10.13.2 update?

i am running a MacPro 2013 here and the issue gradually become so severe that I had to reistall 10.12 Sierra. As my backups of that system were too old, I had to do it all manually, which was a huge PITA.

Would you be more specific?

What issue did you have that has stopped occurring?

The slow downs happen in some circumstances & usually after a little while, as if graphic cards memory get full...

Could you point to the processes that have improved consistently

Indeed, the downgrade took me days to complete. I will not rush into another upgrade unless it is certain that the problem was solved. After my initial upgrade, I had no issues either. The problem developed over time.

My Mac Pro with High Sierra (10.13.1) has been freezing when it has been left running. The mouse moves but I can’t click on anything and the keyboard is dead. The only fix is to power it down and reboot. I have downloaded 10.13.2 with some difficulty and I hope this fixes it.

I've installed the updated 10.13.2... and initially there seemed to be some improvement with the sleep/wake/forced restart issue (which is so ******* frustrating), but after 48 hours, ALL issues returned, so obviously none of the updates solved the problem(s).

Perception is everything, Apple... I'm convinced this is corruption-based policy and a major driver to drum up additional sales. That, or your software engineers are complete IDIOTS... neither one is good, and has me looking to walk away from the brand forever (currently running 4 desktops, three laptops, five iPads, and seven iPhones in this household). If I want a **** systems, products, and service, I can pay a lot less for the same outcome.

I'll give you 10 business days... fix it, or we're off-loading everything.
