Sleep Wake Failure with High Sierra 10.13.2

The probkem was totally removed when I dissabled Parallels Toolbox on my Mac Pro. It’s on 24/7 and the last days it allways sleeps and wakes up like before.

They say it can be any software the potentially controls screen setup some how. Try to disable Everything and then test.!

I have been having the same issues with a Mac desktop since updating to High Sierra. The computer wakes up slowly and usually restarts itself once or twice a day. I just installed the 10.13.2 Supplemental update that came out 01/10/2018 and no fix. Still having the same problems. This is ridiculous. I have been working with a tech who told me the engineers have seen the problem and are working on a fix but WHEN? This really stinks.

Hey Victor, do you have a working installer of 10.13.1 or 10.13.0? If yes, do you mind sharing it?

The problem is apple has removed all previous versions of High Sierra and Sierra from the AppStore and does not longer support those. So it's incredibly hard to get hands on the older versions right now.

That's why I use Carbon Copy Cloner - I've had the same issues and am now reverting to Sierra. Highly recommend this programme - it's particularly useful when Apple introduce new operating systems and means you can just roll back - not a lot of use to you this time, but for the future...

Well this is almost annoying. Sleep wake failure was almost guaranteed if I let my laptop sleep long enough, until I did a clean install of Sierra. I cloned it, so I considering it would only take me an hour to reformat and restore I decided to hurt myself and upgrade to High Sierra. The really annoying part is that was almost a week ago and no sleep wake failures YET. Why? A clean install of High Sierra didn't fix it for me and I originally encountered this bug after upgraded to High Sierra.

I upgraded because I was interested in seeing what effect the meltdown and spectre patches had on my work (actually pretty big 🙁) I don't think anybody should take this route. It ***** and is a waste of time but it is more evidence that is is some kind of software bug.

Hope Apple sort out this bug soon. It's pretty maddening and you know what? I don't think your missing anything on El Cap or Sierra; I'm only staying on High Sierra because of Meltdown/Spectre.

One thing I did that stopped the problem for a little bit was to turn off the setting "Put hard disks to sleep whenever possible." I'm not sure if it fixed it or if my computer just started working again, but it did solve the problem for a few weeks. However the problem did reoccur later. Hope this might be helpful.

Started having the same problem last couple weeks. Found a solution in System Preferences > Energy Saver. It also has options for computer sleep and display sleep. Unclicked "put hard disks to sleep when possible" and Mac back to normal. Always leave it on and it has always come to life with the touch of the space bar and been ready to go and now it is again.

I have tried that and it didn't help at all. Apple seems to be oblivious to this problem and I guess similar to the iPhone slow downs hoping that we will go buy new computers that are compatible with High Sierra. I had a senior advisor assigned to my case and they had me send them files telling what my computer was doing. She told me that they had found the errors and were working on fixing them. That was 3 week ago. I have tried emailing her 3 times since and have not heard any reply. So maybe she quite, was fired, doesn't care, or who knows... I know I am tired of having my computer restart itself once or twice a day. If I wanted this much aggravation I would go back to using Dells.

Feeling the same. I also had a senior advisor send off files and screen shots of my computer for review by the technicians...Sleep wake failure do to a kernel problem....They were suppose to get back in a couple of days ...no answer/solution yet

Completely agree. Apple becoming more like Microsoft everyday as of late. Instead of "just working" like it used to do, it now requires more and more steps to troubleshoot and debug. Just got new HP windows pc on sale at Sam's Club (only because I had to for a particular software program) and it's worked flawlessly so far, like Macs used to do. Plug it in, turn it on, updates itself and ready to go. Start up is also very fast. When did it flip-flop, Apple become Microsoft and vice versa?

-iTunes *****....can no longer access iPhone apps through iTunes, only on phone so expected to look through 2.2 MILLION apps 2 at a time on a tiny phone screen........APP STORE UNUSABLE

-photos on iPhone: people, selfies, and all the other UNDELETABLE albums crammed down our throat

REALLY miss Steve Jobs and his focus on user interface!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my tale.

I have MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) purchased in early February 2017.

After multiple failures to wake which was at the end not helped by NVRAM or SMC resets I took the computer to my local Apple Store. They were unable to get the computer to function and they accepted it for repair under warranty. When I got it back they had replaced the main board, the battery and the display; basically everything. The computer came back with MacOS 10.12.6 installed. Before I reinstalled ANY of my software the computer began to show Sleep Wake Failure. I now have turned off sleep and that is how I will continue to operate so that I can salvage some of my investment in this machine.

My first Mac was a 128K Macintosh. This MacBook Pro will be my last Apple computer. As demonstrated by this support thread and my own experience, Apple has multiple software and hardware problems with its current generation Macs and it is clear that they are both unwilling and more importantly UNABLE to fix these problems.

They asked me to upgrade, but no explanation... I assume they do not know what the problem is just asking to upgrade. I have been dealing with this on two iMacs, real frustrating reminds me of PC days!

I have sent in 2 different system diagnostic downloads from my computer and after the second one the senior tech that was working with me said that the engineers had discovered the problem and were working on a fix. That was on Dec. 31, 2017. I haven't been able to contact that tech since. I can't believe they released High Sierra with this many problems. If they ever do get it fixed with an update I am definitely turning off the auto update and waiting in the future for them to get the problems fixed before I update. This has been horrible.

I have the same issue. I've done all of the steps: Reset PRAM, SMC, first aid on drive after booting into recovery, booted in safe mode, and re-installed the OSX. Still same problem. I know it's not my USB mouse because I tried using the apple mouse with same issue. I also turn of WI-FI and bluetooth before sleep but still get the Sleep/Wake failure. This is on my iMac late 2012.
