Since installing 10.13.2 I have a sleep wake failure on iMac. Was working perfectly before installed latest update on Dec 8.
This is not an uncommon problem but the "fixes/solutions" one reads on the internet are all over the place.
Is there a fix or is this simply something only Apple can solve for all those now plagued by the problem? It is irritating in the extreme.
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
It isn't a problem with the update. I do not have such a problem. Didn't have a problem with 10.13 or 10.13.1 either. My suggestion is a problem in the underlying system you upgraded. So, the first thing I will recommend you try is this:
- Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
- Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support.
- Boot into Safe Mode - this takes longer than normal.
The second thing you want to do is:
Repair the Drive for El Capitan or Later
The third thing to do is: Download and install the macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Combo Update.
That's it for now. After the Combo Updater is completed your computer should restart. However, if it does not then restart the computer normally.
Apple needs to fix this issue, I have two iMac that cannot sleep and get sleep wake failures
Been dealing with them and they just keep telling me to upgrade
They have taken screen shots and debugging but no answer... PLEASE TEST THINGS BEFORE YOU UNLEASH IT ON USERS!!!!!
I see where there is a new release that came out yesterday is x 10.3.3 I think
Has anyone upgraded
Did it solve the problem?
I just installed latest update OS X 13.3 hoping it would solve things but no luck
I had a restart and sleep wake issue error message an hour later
10.13.2 additional upgrade (and later 10.13.3) solved my problem on macbook 12 2015 :-) (after months....thats the negative side...
I think most of us have iMacs... it does not not happen on my MacBooks at all
Did a clean install of version 10.13.3 on my iMac late 2012, no other programs installed. The Sleep Wak Failure is still there.
I went into settings and unchecked “put the hard drives to sleep when possible” and the problem has gone away.
Interesting...I went to my settings to uncheck the box like u did but found it already was unchecked
So not the solution for me....wish it was
What you are experiencing mirrors what is happening w my iMac
Was hoping 13.3 had a fix in it
No word back from Apple support yet
No fun!
I'm having the exact same problem with my 27" iMac. So frustrating. My iMac is also running slower since installing 10.13.2 Come on Apple fix this problem!
Aaahhhhhhhh fudge! It's back again after two weeks away like the house guest from ****.
where is apples input on this?? these machines are paperweights compared to windows right now - come on keep me buying apple products will you - i have tried every fix mentioned and zipppppp
It's still occurring with 10.13.3
Yes me too. I downloaded 13.3 first day it was out hoping there would be a fix
BIG disappointment
What is your iMac model year ?
I keep thinking it is a forced hardware upgrade plot
