One thing that is important, though, is whether you are using any third party software. And having a bootable one, via Carbon Copy Cloner, is even better. Even if your car appears to be running fine, lack of maintenance will "rear its' ugly head", so to speak, and cause issues. If such tasks are neglected, sooner or later it will become an issue.

I always equate owning and maintaining a Mac to owning and maintaining a car. Regarding such tasks, just because it seems unnecessary, it is still not good practice. And given that you have never done any disk cleanup/maintenance/repairs, it is even more "problematic".

So, I can "talk" to you, and with you.įirst, doing the upgrade "in place" is not always the best practice. And as I said in OP, computer has always performed great - right up through the day before the upgrade to Sierra. Never seemed to have anything that needed to be done. I HAVE gone somewhere (? I can’t remember what utility) and looked at/checked the hard drive, and it has always looked FINE.
Plus, before I did the upgrade to Sierra, I did a Carbon Copy Cloner copy of my hard drive to a different external hard drive (than the Time Machine external hard drive)ģ- I have never done any disk cleanup/maintenance/repairs, because I have never needed to. Just went to the AppleStore (I guess, is that where I went?) and clicked and followed instructions.Ģ- I always have Time Machine running and an external hard drive hooked up. I'll try to give you the answers as best I know them.īut if I'm not right on target, just ASK AGAIN and I'll try to give you what you need.īut it is technically "allowed", and seemed to go just fine. So I thought I’d post my own thread and get some NEW EYEBALLS on my problem.īut just for the record, I'm 69 about to turn 70.ĭidn't grow up with computers, don't have all this in my DNA, don't really "speak computer." I have done countless web searches, can’t find any real solution.Įverybody just says reset the PRAM/NVRAM and SMC.īut many of the posts/replies I've found are older. The fan speeds and temps are nominal, so it’s not a heat problem. In Energy Saver I have set my Display Sleep and Computer Sleep times to “Never”.
I have reset the PRAM/NVRAM numerous times. Monitor will black out again sooner or later (may be 2 hours, may be 2 minutes, may be 2 seconds!!!) sleep the monitor then wake it (shift-cntrl-eject, space bar) sleep the system then wake it (opt-com-eject, space bar) if you were typing in a document and kept typing, the text is there when you get the screen back, so again, “computer” maintained, it was just the monitor went black if, say, a YouTube video was playing, you can still HEAR it, so the “computer” is still working, just no screen
Voila! Robust fix, freezing problem never heard from again Flawless until last weeks OS upgrade to Sierra 10.12.3įirst problem was random freezing (cursor would move on screen but no mouse click function)
