Sleep Wake Failure with High Sierra 10.13.4

10.13.5 seems to have fixed the issue for me...

I am having the same issue with my 2017 iMac. It started right after installing Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4. Instead of sleeping, it goes into a sort of comatose state. When I try to wake my iMac, I get a black, unresponsive screen. At this point, I have to use the power button to do a hard reboot.

Other times I get a log in screen, but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive, so I have to do the hard reboot anyway.

Just found this thread after suffering for 2+ months.

Constant crashes during sleep on both a brand new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and a brand new iMac.

Both running 10.13.4.

Just saw that 10.13.5 is available. Going to give it a shot now ...

Similar effect here on my 15" Macbook Pro Retina 2012. After closing the lid, it won't wake up on opening the lid again. Screen keeps black, only hard reset helps!

In fact, the reference to FileVault is worth gold. The encryption makes the sleep mode under 10.13.4 broken.

Thanks @nobody__ for the hint.

In addition to a SWF error, trouble with the bluetooth-module. The keyboard and mouse are constantly falling off. How angry it is. The console is clogged with red messages about the bluetooth-module.

My experience parallels your. On a 2017 iMac 5K and a late 2013 MacBook Pro 10.3.5 seems to have resolved the problems.

Very slow waking up from sleep, however.

Same here on my MacBook Pro 2017. Closing the lid leads to my FileVault login screen and then nothing happens. Only a reboot brings the system back. Problem occurs since 10.13.4, before I had no issue with the sleep mode on my Mac.

@Batfink, what do you mean with "hard reset", could you give me an advice what could help?

Same problem here. Mac book pro 15” retina with 10.13.4.

After open the screen, the login screen is shown and after entering the password the computer freezes. Not even the mouse moves anymore. I’ve try to wait long enough (about 1 hour), but nothing happens.

Same problem here on an iMac 5K 2017. I did the upgrade and now when I sleep the device it can wake up for a few seconds but, predictably, will not wake up after prolonged sleep when hitting keyboard. Only solution is to touch the power button - after which the machine promptly reboots.

And I have filevault activated.

Apple, how could you release a supplemental update so injurious to basic encryption functionality in your new computers? Do you not test this stuff before releasing it?

Same issue with iMac 27" 5K Retina (Late 2014 model). Since 10.13.4 it sometimes freezes on login screen after sleep mode and I have to force reboot. More often, after longer periods in sleep mode, it has shut down and restarts without error but with two "bongs". I also have FileVault enabled.

I share your hope. I have been dealing with this same problem for weeks. I have one other wish - proof that Apple actually reads these message boards and responds to its customers who are being victimized by an update gone wrong.

My bug report was posted a week ago, I've provided all logs they asked, but silence since then.

There is 10.13.5 beta 2 released on Apr 17th, but no sign of the acknowledgement of this issue in the Release Notes.

Hi David, yes apple reads this thread... I was contacted by them soon after my first posts and was actively helping to find the cause of the problem by doing tests on my machine. No solution was found at the moment, but, as far as I could see, Apple is working on it.

@RecheRech, I hope the analysis we have done here gives Apple a really good start as to where to look! Glad the configs from my testing helped you.

I think it is particularly interrsting that Fusion drive iMacs seem to have the problem but, for me anyway, my MBP, which does not have a Fusion drive, does not.
