When I wake up my mac from sleep, the screen glitches and displays static, but it's only a flash (0.5 seconds). I've seen posts about this happening in macbook pro as well, after we've updated to High Sierra. I've seen examples about screens with weird colors, but in my case is just a greyish static. This lasts for only a few seconds.
MacBook Air, High Sierra Version 10.13.4
What fixed this was resetting the PRAM or NVRAM by following these instructions.
Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
I had migrated my MacBook Air 13" to the new MacBookPro 15" and the screen was trying to be a MacBook Air.
Also, I had to search to figure out how to change the computer's name - it's under Sharing in System Preferences.
Nope. No success with ANY of those steps.
If it happens after a long sleep, make sure you have your iPhone ready to video tape it. Call Apple Support. Get a supervisor. They send you an email with a link to download files. There are so many people with this same issue, but no one at Apple seems to be helping! We shouldn't have to spend this much time trouble shooting on a new $1500 computer. The more people reporting, maybe the quicker this 'anomaly' as they call it, will get fixed. Thanks.
This emerging issue please keep y0ur Mac update it
Please do not do it because the problem not in the logic board, I used to have same screen glitch and they did all possible ways to fix the issue and could not be fixed, until Mojave comes
In my case, i get a totally greyed-out screen on wake-up that hangs around for a good 2 or 3 minutes. At the end of which the Mac doesn't recognize my mouse. I have to turn it off and then turn it back on again to get it to work. For me, this just started when I "upgraded" to High Sierra 10.13.5 a couple of days ago.
I too now have this issue....I believe it started with 10.13.3 and has continued into 10.13.5 on a MacBookPro, Retina 15" mid-2014. It is so frustrating that Apple is aware but unwilling to do anything about it or even talk about the issue. It is not an anomaly when so many are having the issue. Fix it Apple! I agree that every time I wake up my computer, I hold my breath when I see the static/snow, asking myself is this it? Will this be the time my computer stops working?
It was a new machine. Then they did a fresh install. They “guess” this will be fixed in mojave. But otherwise the Apple genius basically explained that it’s normal for Apple products have defects as long as it doesn’t affect function it’s ok. He’s ok with it and I should be too. Unbelievable.
Has anyone had this issue with MacOS Mojave 10.14? I'm running a MB Pro 13", and I have noticed that quitting Google Chrome before putting my laptop on standby helps a bit, but it still happens every now and then. I have yet to observe it with Mojave, but maybe I just jinxed myself...
Same issue here.
I've had a 2016 MBP (13", non-TouchBar) and I am always up to date software wise.
I'd say it probably started sometime this winter/spring, probably with a High Sierra update.
@nikibt and @fromlj2u is the view you see similar to the one posted in this thread: https://i.imgur.com/wfZTfAo.jpg? Mac OS 10.13.4 wake up screen glitch
I am really hoping it's a software issue that can be solved soon and not a hardware issue where I have to take my computer into the store. For reference, I purchased the MacBook Pro in December 2017 and experienced the "grey static" when upgrading to 10.13.3. When upgrading to 10.13.4, the issue temporarily went away and then returned.
When did you purchase your computer and did you experience this with both 10.13.3 and 10.13.4?
For me sometimes it’s a color glitch and others it’s that kind of static like the one from the other thread. I bought my macbook last August actually. I don’t recall before upgrading the operating system if it occured, but can’t say if it was something related to that or it was that i didnt pay attention. I am worried though because the more i talk with apple users, the more people tell me it happens for them aswell... this is why i suspect it’s a hardware thing...
Yes, similar, but more pinkish purple. Lasts about 2-3 seconds. Longest 2-3 seconds ever when every time I open the lid to do something important, I never know if it's actually going to go away and work. It's very disconcerting!
I purchased MBP May 2017 and this didn't start until about April 2018. Glitch occur(ed) and (s) on both 10.13.3 and .4.
After many visits and many escalated calls, it still seems that Apple doesn't know what's wrong. But it also seems that just because THEY don't know what's wrong doesn't mean that my warranty is INVALID. Wish they'd stand by their product.
Yes I have this problem too. Got it new this month (June '18), brand new. It is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). I had trouble updating also. Currently I have High Sierra 10.13.5. When I open the lid, I see a pinkish scrambled page. Then everything is back to normal.
I have the exact same problem. I have taken my macbook pro retina 13' touchbar 2016, to the genius bar twice and they have already changed the motherboard (1st attempt) and the sceen (2nd attempt) and the problem is still there...
This is unacceptable for a macbook. Any solution apple?
Otherwise I'll keep going to the Genius Bar and changing hardware until the problem is solved... (under the 90 day warranty). Maybe the scientific method is the only option... It would be good that Apple SAY SOMETHING about it and address the issue appropriately.
Unacceptable, Apple!
Totally unacceptable... I sent my macbook into repair, they ran a diagnostics and tried replicating the "bug", but told me that nothing was wrong... I was able to replicate this screen glitch with more mac models, this is not something exclusively for my computer. In my work, I also have a macbook air, and a macbook pro, and this happened for both computers... I believe Apple should answer for this.
