macOS 10.12.2 Fixes Time Machine Backup Crashing Issue on New MacBook Pro
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Requires a very small subset of its users to be on a beta OS to avoid the occasional crash during the use of the built-in backup software.
Of course, the message, by the time it reaches the engineering team, is "customers are complaining about the thinness, so we must make it thinner!!"
Gawd, The "G" and "T" before the Bytes. Wasn't really paying attention to the letters, looking at the numbers. Yeah, latest I read about the Blu Ray spec has the disc maxing out at 128 GB.
Actually you have it reversed. The new MacBook Pro cannot keep its boost speeds up for very long due to its poor thermals while the older models can keep theirs for longer.
You should get your facts straight
Sounds like you could be the Jazz Guitar Legend "AA King".I want to write a song called "The Revision A Blues" using GarageBand on my new MacBook Pro, but the machine keeps crashing.
Sierra, so far, has seemed buggy for basic usage compared to El Capitan. I don't understand why Apple feels the need to keep fixing apps and components of the OS that aren't broken.
Wow, that's gigantic!

Except, if we're comparing Windows to Windows, vista wasn't that bad. In fact, GPU faults didn't crash the whole system as they do on Windows 8 and 10. My GPU faults almost never caused a system reset in vista but they sure do every time now. Nothing but the OS changed.
But more and more, Mac OS is starting to feel more like Windows in terms of reliability and slowness. Because Windows has always been crap in both areas.

Because of throttling for heat?
Can't tell you how much stuff Lloyd has talked me out of buying.
But in this case, I didn't need his urging.
All that whining here.
Most of you don’t even own the new MBP 2016 and repeat some things you have read somewhere…
Let me tell you this:
I must have been apparently incredibly lucky because my new laptop (TB 2.7, 1TB SSD, 460) has been rock solid to me these last two weeks. No, no battery issues. Been surfing for more than one hour now and battery tells me 7:22 hours left. That’s enough. The next electrical plug is 1 meter away in case. No graphic glitches, no funny noises from the speakers, no keys that don’t work. Yes, I had the copying crash, too, but I could pinpoint it to one large video-file, reported it in detail to Apple and it is fixed now. Dongles not an issue at all, small adapters for USB are available on Amazon and for Thunderbolt I use Apple’s adapter. But this is temporary anyway. Love being able to plug the things into the ports/sides where I want.
I am a professional editor on FCPX (oh yes, they do exist…), and am switching from a Mac Pro (late 2013), 6-core, 32GB, 1TB SSD and 2xD700’s.
Since then I finished one complete project on FCPX without any issues or cashes.
Working on it feels even snappier on this new machine because of its very fast SSD. FCPX is very well optimised for this computer. While color grading the finished film with plugins like Filmconvert, Color Finale, HyColor and so on, everything was realtime like on my MacPro.
I did not have to render at all during editing and grading. That’s fantastic news for me.
But here comes the best: As I do a lot of H264 exporting for client previews I can tell you that this changes everything now and is a real game changer to me compared to the Mac Pro:
Export of a 10 minute movie is done in only 2 minutes because of Intel’s Quicksync on the I7 which the MacPro’s 3,5 Intel Xeon E5 does not have on their chip. The same export took more than 9 (!) minutes on the Mac Pro in the same configuration (Harddrives and so on).
When you are working on a 90 min. feature, this is a HUGE difference.
So I win a lot of time in my daily work to spend more with my family.
Yes, this computer is expensive, I know. But it works well for me and fortunately I can amortise it fast due to my work projects.
Happy bird here.

I'm a software developer, my company likely purchased many times more Macs as you. We had serial / manufacturing defects / replacement programs - which nearly each Mac in the last 12 years.
It is getting tiresome.
And my personally last year's 15" Retina MacBook Pro? It does often not wake when carried to work or home and I plug in the 4k display first. So now I have a careful procedure, always trying to avoid plugging in any cable and open the MacBook first to avoid freeze on wakeup.
The only Apple Thing that has no replacement program defect is my G4 Cube. And for some strange wonder, sitting as art piece on my desk it somehow did not develop the typical hairline cracks in the case, yet.
Even my iPhone 6s is waiting for a battery replacement appointment, but somehow the local Genius has no free slot since weeks, ...
Eventually more bugs on Time Capsule which is yet the latest one.
I can not open some media files from Time Capsule which had no problem before the update.
And BTMM function on Time Capsule does not work as well.
Being too frustrated, there must be something wrong in the team of quality management in Apple Inc.

I've seen speed improvements with USB-C. I backed up 1TB of my 2TB SSD, new/full TimeMachine backup. I started it before going to bed and it was done by the time I got up, so I don't know exactly how long it took, only that it was less than 6 hours. This seems faster than my 2015 rMBP w/ 1TB SSD, which took 8 hours or more on Thunderbolt 2 for an incremental backup.
