macOS 10.12.2 Fixes Time Machine Backup Crashing Issue on New MacBook Pro

I feel like this fix will cause another problem. Plug one leak on this thing and another one appears
I have a 15" Touchbar MacBook Pro and have been having issues (but not crashes) related to Time Machine Backups. It seems that about every 3-4 hours I receive a notification that the backup has failed. I then check to see when the last successful backup was and it is usually about 4 hours ago. No other problems, it's a great machine. Waiting anxiously for the LG 5K monitor.
Seamlessly integrated software and hardware!
It's funny reading people being happy they can backup.
This should have been all ironed out long before the release.
Back in the old days Apple would wait two years before a release and most of the times it would be okay or fair.
What I don't get is all the background software should be working from way back. It's almost like they completely rewrite each operating system release reintroducing the same or new bugs in new os.

No, another bug FIX.
sigh.

Or just go buy a surface.

Or any companies product for that matter.
Which is basically news about an app someone developed for the touch bar trying to solve a problem that didn't exist.
There were only four OS versions from memory that had two years before release. Three of them, people generally hated (Tiger, Leopard, and Lion). One that is praised for some unknown reason considering it had pretty significant bugs that cause graphics issues, data loss, and Disk Utility breaking Images (still not fixed).
Time does not fix problems.
My Revision A 2012 MacBook Pro has gone through 4 screens. I love the thing, but it wasn't a flawless launch either. This new MacBook Pro was a great upgrade from my 2012.
What mattered was how Apple cared for me, and the Genius' always swapped my screens out under AppleCare.
"MacRumors forum member Dave Miles claims he received an email response from Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi, who apologized for the inconvenience and confirmed the issue has been fixed in the fifth macOS 10.12.2 beta seeded to developers and public testers on Monday."
Funny how this guy (Dave Miles) shows up on the forum and on his first day, posts two messages; one question, and one answer which contains senior management support from Apple. Of course this solves a problem Apple supposedly had no knowledge of, until it was fixed. I smell fish here.
With all the Apple laptops I have owned and they have been great, this is the first one I've returned for refund. Now I am not sure I want another one. The 2016 MBP seems like an MVP (minimum viable product), I didn't think Apple subscribed to that nonsense.

Hate to say this I'm using my Surface Pro more than macbook pro for general purposes.
Have stuck with .11 on my macbook pro.. Nothing really worth upgrading to .12 tbh.. Guess 2015 will be my last purchase of 15' macbook pro's.. Poor stuff from apple with Cook at the helm.

Amazing all the outcry over something that is fixed. These systems have problems for sure, but it's really funny that in the Information Age, how short term and volatile people's memory is.
There is a reason many of us longtime Apple users avoid rev A products. Let's just say apple has a history of this.

The rationale for a closed hardware/software model is the vertical integration that this makes possible. Not having this advantage is one reason why Windows had many failings, as it was almost impossible to make the software work on widely varying hardware systems. For a long time Apple had a significant advantage, but the company seems to have lost its way. Now their own software does not run on their own hardware, and it will be increasingly hard to justify a premium price for systems that don't work as they should.
I also find it amazing how many people that are complaining don't actually own one of these laptops. I have one and I actually love it. I've had no problems whatsoever. I'd say it's a pretty good shot for a major redesign. Price is pretty steep but the performance is actually really good. Don't believe everything you read.
eggplant is gross. oh and on topic i guess, this MacBook is just one problem after another, seems like it should be an acer or something.
My MacBook Pro is perfectly fine. No issues here. I understood what I was buying into, the lack of ports, etc. Not sure, I feel most people complaining are the ones that won't own one anyway. I waited for this upgrade, and to me it's an upgrade from my previous laptop. I do a lot of design work, and it's a great machine. Battery life is phenomenal.
Thank god. Insane that no one at Apple ever thought to backup their machines!
The original post said 40 TB. Could be a Blu Ray disc image file.
Hi Joe, I was surprised to get a response from Craig too, but he did reply to me this afternoon. I've sent the email and header across to MacRumours to verify.
