I installed the 10.13.4 update on my 2017 15" MacBook Pro and every since then I have been experiencing sleep was failure. Sometimes on the forced restart (not by me) my Mac freezes and I have to manually restart it. I've tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM; however, that only solved the issue for a short while. Does anyone have a solution to this? It's rather annoying.
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), 15"
I've monitored my Mac the past 4 days and I'm still having the same issue. Before the upgrade to 10.13.4, I could open my Mac and just use touch id to unlock it. Now, I have to put in my password, wait for it to load, then enter my password again. The only good thing is that my previous windows open back up. I may have to take it in or see if I can downgrade to 10.13.3.
Which os version was that? Was it really solve the problem? Just because my friend has just installed 10.13.6 yesterday and now he says it seems to be fine now, no sleep wake problem has appeared since then. I will try this update on saturday and then I will come back with the result.
I've also installed 10.13.6 and it does not solve the problem. I chatted with apple and after some run-around, the support person said it's a known issue, there is no fix of yet and to just keep installing updates. This is rather pathetic given how long this has been an issue... What gives???
Since then I've also done it, but nothing has changed 😟. Moreover, in most cases when I open up my MBP there's no error message I can reflect to or send to Apple, but I cannot login as I have only black screen with lighting keyboard, no reaction, I can only push power off, then power on, then there are two initial sounds right after each other (not normal in itself too), and then I have a login screen 😠.
Unfortunately, I'm running out of patience, so thinking of save everything to an external drive and reinstall the whole system, as there are users without this problem, so it might be caused by an app that I have but they don't and which has a conflict with the OS but Apple hasn't found it or even doesn't want to 😟.
After doing everything short of re-installing High Sierra, I have done just that. I can report that it does cure the sleep wake problem that's been dogging my MacBook Air since upgrading to High Sierra. I am very glad to be free of this non-sense...
Sadly, I spoke too soon. After a good long sleep (24 hours) the sleep wake problem is still there. C'mon Apple, this has gone on way too long... I've devotedly used the Mac OS in all it's incarnations since the Macintosh Plus way back in 1986. This is the first time my faith in your diligence is seriously wavering. Surely 1 Trillion bucks in valuation should mean you have the resources to fix this. What gives???
You're awesome! I reinstalled from macOS Recovery and it seems to have corrected the problem. I'll monitor it for the next couple of days to be sure.
Have you got a solution for this problem? I'm having it too...😟
Sorry for the late reply...I have not gotten a permanently solution for this issue. It's rather annoying.
It looks like it may have been fixed with the latest OS update.
