Mac Wake Up Screen Glitch

Is that a joke?

I don't have 3 hours to loose for a computer I bought 2k€ and I absolutely need for working.

Fix this issue this is not acceptable, there is either a hardware or a software issue.

For my concern it started around the beginning of this year or the end of last year.

I remember that Apple gave a software update to fix video card sooner (end of 2017?).

It may be related and creates more issues.

Stop playing with our patience for such pricy devices.

Same here - does everyone on the thread also have the resolution on their (laptop) screen scaled for more space or do they just have the default scaling? I have it scaled on mine for more space and am trying to figure out if that is a contributing factor or not.

yes guys, I have got exactly same problem, and sometimes appears apple logo with progress bar or flickering for one to two second, before high sierra I do not think I experienced this problem, now I am running from MBP 13, 2017

yesterday I talked to  support and the expert told me that an expected issue even for his Mac , I hope they can rid of it soon or with Mojave OS.

I just want to ask if anyone experience flickering screen or you heard about someone experience that ??

I've got a different version. When my 2018 new MacBookPro 15" awakes after a long sleep the window has shrunk towards the upper left corner, as per the attached photo. Also, the mouse no longer tracks the image, that is, the cursor that I can see is NOT where it "clicks". I've managed to get it back to normal from this condition, which resulted in a flash of colored static in the black areas when the screen resizes. That said, getting the cursor in the right place is a pain, so I'm currently shutting down the computer rather than letting it sleep which is a pain.

I have a video! I bought my MacBook brand new and this happend right out of the box after placing it on sleep mode . I bought it 2-3 months ago and it still glitches after the updates and going through the steps with the Mac people. I’ll call tomorrow morning and see what they tell me.

So much for the warranty and paying a premium for a computer that "just works". If this isn't a defect, I'm not sure what is. Reading the material online about older Macs having this issue, this doesn't seem like a short term bug. It seems like a problem that spans several years that Apple hasn't resolved. Where is Apple support on this?

I did a Google search for "mac screen static when opening" and I found an article and reports of seemingly similar static problems almost every year as early as 2008. I don't know what this problem is, but it seems to be more than a one-time "glitch" with the current OS. Its been more than two weeks since the Apple store declined to fix my laptop and still no news. Apple should be doing more.

Yep, I'm another one with "Two to three seconds of pinkish-purple static screen" when my computer wakes after a long nap. I'm using 13-inch, 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. It doesn't sound like an anomaly. If it is, then we ought to just get new computers from that that don't have said anomaly.

In addition to the momentary static screen, my MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016) running 10.13.6 has the following on wake.

1 Open clamshell

2 begin to type in password

3 typing freezes after a few characters

4 close clamshell

5 if password was right, when you open it it's unlocked and running, mouse freezes in a moment

6 if not typing is available again to enter pw go back to 3

7 close and reopen clamshell

8 normal operation, ready to go, only took you two minutes to wake your computer Yay!

Have you tried the new Mojave OS? Has anyone experienced a screen flicker when waking their Macs from sleep while running Mojave??? I would like to know before upgrading to Mojave as I've seen a lot of people having problems trying to install it.

I have seriously had my Mac book pro 13 inch sent 4-5 times to “get fixed” and the problem is still there. Home with the static openin screen they say nothing wrong. I had it completely replaced and it’s still doing the same thing! Sooooo annoying, I also get a free screen when watching youtube, and a ticking noice as well as glitching with Netflix. I have no idea what to do anymore

I seriously did all of this, had my computer sent in 4-5 times which being in college and not having a Laptop. Completely replaced it for a brand new one after changing the logic board and display and checking software and a brand new one does the same!

Strangely... but good, the past week the computer seems to be working better.

I disabled Energy Settings -> Power Nap for both battery and AC two weeks ago. It didn't seem to change anything.

I'm still on 10.13.6, haven't added any software or removed anything in ages and faithfully restart at least once a week, usually because the computer doesn't want to connect to internet even though it shows it's connected to internet and the rest of my connected world is fine using it at the moment.

I just experienced this on a mid-2015 (actually manufactured 2017) 15" retina Macbook Pro. It woke from a very short sleep and there was momentarily green and pink static before displaying correctly. I am running MacOS Mojave -v 10.14.1 (18B75). I hope it was a one-time glitch, but a permanent resolution would be helpful.
