Some Users Experiencing System Crashes on macOS 10.15.4, Especially During Large File Transfers

I'm sure it's not the same issue for everybody as other folks are having random restarts, not just while sleeping. This has fixed the issue for me %100 for the last 3 days since I've unchecked that setting. Still cautiously optimistic that the issue will not return.
Sad to say I had the best part of a week with it behaving, then a flurry of failed wakes while it was on power overnight (iCloud Photos sync stuff).
I've now enabled 'Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off' to see if that makes things more reliable.
While I'm having a rant... Photos got its knickers in a twist, claiming that it needed to upload several thousand pictures to iCloud. Then, as has happened for many users, it got stuck near then end for days on end. Annoyed, I restarted Photos holding Option & Command, which gives you the option to repair the photos library. Having done that, it then said it would be downloading all my photos from iCloud.
I was thinking about that, and it's a really dumb approach. If Apple maintained a checksum for each photo that you have in iCloud, and a checksum for every photo you have stored locally, it could race through your collection in no time at all for the purpose of finding any inconsistencies. I reckon with a library of a few thousand photos, a full comparison could be done in minutes without all that tedious re-uploading photos to iCloud, which can take days or weeks on a slow link.
You can use your iPad as an external monitor lol
That's about it.
We're back to the 10.7-era dark ages of macOS where they keep piling on stupid gimmick features while nerfing actually useful functions, and not prioritizing stability at all. Adobe does this too with their CC suite. This what happens when you put the bean counters and marketing department in charge of your product development. They ruin everything.
I'm staying on 10.14.6 until I stop getting security updates.
.. ya well..i guess Apple may have been slow to react.
This is 2020,,, and companies struggle with large fie transfers ? that is what i never get.... That's like trying to figure out how dinosaurs went extinct.
Just sounds like something that should been solved, and stay solved, since it's basic thing.
After installing 10.15.4 update on my Early Retina 2015 Macbook, the computer randomly freezes with nothing working including touchpad or keyboard. Screen stays on but is frozen in place. Have to hold down power to restart. Sometimes it will not turn back on either and have to plug computer into power source for it to boot back up. This issue only started happening after the 10.15.4 update of OS Catalina.
Had a crash yesterday, I'm mostly working in clamshell mode and yesterday morning I wasn't able to wake the Mac from sleep as usual, had to power it up by opening the lid and received the crash message after login.
I've just installed the supplemental this morning, let's see if at least is solves my big file transfer issue.
Next macOS version can't come soon enough...

Couldn't agree more with that and the cancellation of inductive power mat (Airpower) is a fabulous example. What is happening could be the lack of a visionary leader at Apple and that resulted in most product being tentative in the development process.

Getting tired of this crap. I had to return one MacBook because of a hardware defect, now they introduce a software defect in the latest OS update. Can I not go one month without an issue anymore?
Hello there! Hope everybody is staying safe and sound at home. If it helps, I am having the same issues, with the following error report: Would you guys recommend reverting to Mojave? My camera also stopped working when I upgraded to Catalina

Happy to report on my 2015 MacBook Pro 11,5 sleep works great under 10.15.4 - thus far, still doing further testing.
I'm mostly worried about staying up on security updates. At some point I want to move to the last supported OS, and I hope that one is stable because I still see no reason to upgrade my laptop. With the SSD upgrade and RAM upgrade it's still a phenomenal laptop that still gets decent battery life with the original battery.
I noticed that quitting all apps before putting it to sleep seems to semi-help with the issue for now. The restarts are sporadic and IDK what program is causing it but it seems like quitting all the apps helps.
I had another kernel panic. Apple, get your goddamned ****ing **** together and stop releasing these **** ass broke as **** ****ing POS garbage excuse of a pissant OS coded together by ****ing brain damaged talentless developer hacks. STOP THIS **** ALREADY.
[automerge]1586829871[/automerge]
I also love this ****ing ******** where I can't restore and downgrade to a MacOS that I had oh only 4 or so ****ing days ago that was working fine, even with Time Machine.
Really with this, Apple, really?
Go **** a chainsaw.

Well I spoke too soon regarding downgrade and attempting to downgrade now to 10.15.3 via time machine restore, thank Christ that was an option.
I just love this **** on how a mere supplemental update passing the layers upon layers upon layers of rigorous software testing can still fail to do something as basic as oh I don’t know, going to ****ing SLEEP without panicking and crashing the blessed **** out of everything, and this all somehow escapes everyone’s notice.
Outstanding. It must take some goddamned mad ass effort to be this **** all incompetent.
I award you no points Apple, and may God have mercy on your diseased souls.

Completely agree... I purchased the 16” MacBook Pro last year and tried to install Mojave over Catalina... as Catalina is a little better than a stinking runny poo.... Last time i check Catalina has 2 stars out of 5....on the AppStore!!!!!!
I have endured issue after issue and now constant random crashes and kernel panics, your £4000 laptop rebooting each time you open the lid!!!! It’s infuriating especially when you are working from home and trying to hold on to a business completely reliant on productivity.
I have had a significant issue since I purchsed my latest 16” laptop... each up date since the date of purchase back in November 2019... I have prayed it would be fixed... yet it is still not... so how can leaving the mail.app on ”auto sync” can your cpu spike to 400% ??? Jesus... so I now have to manually sync my mail... its pathetic.... I have tried all of the fixes suggested in the below.... none work other than DELETING MY MAIL RULES... and manually syncing mail (Like an animal)...thanks apple a big runny poo thanks.... I have Office 365... Microsoft Outlook rules... can you hear this... I am on an Apple Forum... at 01;04 in the morning praising bloody Microsoft....../rant over
Invalid base64 string for MIME content.
Since upgrading to Catalina I keep getting this error with each email that comes in. "Invalid base64 string for MIME content.". This is really annoying and making me regret doing this upgrade.
Does anyone have a fix?

2015 MacBook Pro Retina and zero problems with 10.15.4 - dunno, maybe this series is more stable ? Catalina likes it ? I don't know.. but I hope everyone gets it going on their systems.
I'm sure it's the OS interaction with the newer hardware that's the issue, since yours is older it has the benefit of 5 years of driver updates.
I guess that means our 2019 MBPs will finally be stable in 2024. 🙄
MacBook Pro 16" after 10.15.4 (19E287) update now crashing 99% of the time when put into sleep mode, lid closed, ... WTF
I am tracking the Wake from Sleep Kernel Panic issue here.
mrmacintosh.com
Has anyone been able to confirm that downgrading to 10.15.1, 10.15.2 or 10.15.3 fixes the issue ?

Does your 16" MacBook Pro 2019 Kernel Panic or Restart when you wake it from sleep after installing the Catalina 10.15.4/5 Update? Latest Info + Workarounds

Perhaps, but by then intel will be a fond memory and we will have PowerPC Macs again, sorry ARM Macs

While it's older.. coming from a 2012 its like a fast machine for my needs, esp since I put in a 4TB SSD.
FWIW, my late 2016 13" MBP (4 TB), which I run primarily closed-clamshell into TB3 dock / external monitor, is now waking properly from sleep as it did pre-10.15.4 after I tweaked energy saver settings. For Power Adapter, only checking "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" - everything else unchecked
When I'm done working, I'll manually put it to sleep. When waking, I turn on monitor and click any button on magic keyboard. Prior to tweaking the power settings, I couldn't wake my computer, and would have to manually restart by opening lid and restarting before I could get any display through external monitor.

I have this same setup including TB3 dock. If they still don't fix this **** in 10.15.5 Ill probably do the same. I did like the power nap option as i wanted my backups to continue running overnight but oh well, Apple gonna continuing appleing with their donkey **** coding.
