Hi everyone,
I have recently updated my mid-2012 MBA 13" to Sierra (10.12.6). I did a clean install. Since then, my MBA shuts down randomly. From the log I get "previous shutdown cause: -2"; what does this correspond to? It is getting very annoying! I am starting to feel nostalgic about OS Tiger with which I never had any issue...
Best,

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Tiger was released to the public on April 29, 2005 hard to believe anyone would feel that nostalgic. 😉
Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
The only thing I can pull up is:
vTypErr = -2, /*invalid queue element*/
and I am unsure how to interpret this cause and effect. Documentation is scant. Carbon Core Enumerations—

You can try running the https://etrecheck.com/ —developed by one of our own here in the ASC—if you need help interpreting the output or assessing some conflict, you can copy and paste your results here. No private information is captured.
Yeah, maybe not that nostalgic but still..^^
By the way, after restarts, there is no message displayed saying that a problem occurred.
macOs Sierra "previous shutdown cause: -2"?
