new Macbook pro 2018 random restarts

Just bought it yesterday and it restarted randomly twice today while it was idle.

The phone support was useless.

It's the new 2018 version 15 inch, CPU 2.6, 512GB SSD.


Did it happen to anyone else with this newly introduce MacBook pro?


Thanks.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

David,

You are correct about the behaviour of homebrew and the software it installs. It isn't in your home directory.


However, that won't be a problem for Time Machine. It can restore all those files and make your new machine a clone of the old one.


The only time you have to be careful with this is when you try to use Time Machine to make a clone of an existing machine and then use both. There are some subtle problems with doing that. But if the new machine replaces the old one, Time Machine will restore it just fine.

Oh OK, I didn't know it's possible to accomplish that with Time Machine.


Back then, 15 years ago, when I was working on Windows, I remember that cloning from one computer to another wasn't recommended because the hardware isn't identical. (even when the hardware is similar, the IDs of the hardware are not the same). And as a result, it may cause issues along the way. I guess it's different on Mac.

First of all, I found this random restart issue is getting popular.

I have exactly the same problem, bought the new MBP 2018 core i7 15 inch, CPU 2.6, 512GB SSD several days ago, and almost anytime the MPB sleeps for a long time, it reboots after waking up.


I see many "panic" file logs in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ProxiedDevice-Bridge/ (one per day)

Is this because of the new T2 chip?

For what its worth, I took my 13" Quadcore 500gig 16 gig RAM back to Apple store and after they asked a few questions about what I have done to attempt to resolve they offered to replace the device with what they had in the store.


They only had the 1Tb device in a like configuration, I did a little negotiation with them to not have to eat the full upgrade cost and essentially they said if I buy AppleCare on the spot with some business discounts it was pretty close to a wash.


I have been running this Mac in the same fashion I was the other with the same software, etc. and I have yet to have any resets in two and a half days.


I will keep everybody apprised.

Dec 16, 2018 7:56 AM in response to DavidMBP2018

Hi Guys I am having the same issue here...


It random restart with no reason.


The last time I was on Youtube. About 30 min ago it randomly shutdown, not crash report was shown after that :(


My macbook has about 10 days :(


The first time that happened I took it to the technical assistance in CompuB in Cork but no issues were found.


I cannot live with this issue as I have lost a chunk of work because of that.


Do we have a Macbook engineer looking into it?

Dec 29, 2018 1:30 PM in response to DavidMBP2018

Hi, Guys!

I have the same issue.

I’ve noticed this trouble appears each time I try enter system preferences menu. Moreover Touch ID icon in this menu appears a few seconds lately after opening the window. And then system goes fault.

This issue appeared on clean macOS Mojave. I did downgrade to High Sierra. No result(((

In High Sierra there is no Logs.


Jan 4, 2019 3:32 AM in response to DavidMBP2018

I am experiencing the exact same issue.


New MacBook Pro 2018, 13", 2,7 GHz i7.


Usually happens after leaving it for a while and it goes into sleep and then waking it up back again, then it randomly restarts. Very frustrating as much work was lost, for that pricepoint absolutely inacceptable.


Already tried to repair it, they switched the motherboard, but the issue is still there.


Any updates on this?


Alex
