Not even MacOS gets it right if you confront it with the same problem that Linux is facing.
I switched the SSD of my MBP 2 years ago and since then everything is out of control. Sometimes the thing keeps running when I close the lit and when I open it again the battery is empty. Sometimes it simply shuts down entirely and has to boot from scratch when I open it again.
I tried reinstalling the OS and whatnot, nothing worked.
- cjohansson 6y agoYes that is because Apple promises that everything works iff you buy hardware and installation of it from them. I changed a RAM module once and hibernation stopped working, Apple says that is because it's not the identical RAM-module they sell. So their list of supported hardware is pretty small
- hinkley 6y agoHistorically there have been sites that tell you which RAM modules work with OS X. It's usually the higher end stuff, but then again the modules that come with OS X tend to be better than average to begin with.
- Syonyk 6y agoAs I've gotten older, and am not having to pinch pennies quite as badly, I just buy Apple expansion hardware from the places that specialize in it. I was refurbing one MacBook Pro of some era (2012 maybe?), and it simply would not play nice with an ADATA SSD (recognized it, but data transfers were so slow the OS wouldn't install - known issue, apparently). I saved a bit compared to the OWC option, except I wasted an afternoon of messing around and had to buy the OWC option after all.
- Dylan16807 6y agoSome RAM modules not working at all makes sense, though. A module working for everything except hibernate is ridiculous.
- skrtskrt 6y agoMy 2020 Intel Macbook Air crashes every single time it falls asleep while attached to an internal monitor, on Catalina and Big Sur I have just accepted it, on a personal computer I am less likely to need to keep a ton of things open so it's okay if I lose all my windows on crash. On a work computer I would not be able to accept this - thankfully my work 2018 MBP on Catalina handles this fine. I previously had an Ubuntu Dell XPS at work with a similar problem and it was horrible losing my tabs and terminal windows 4-5x per work day
- wyuenho 6y agoThis is why Apple uses custom SSDs and you should never switch to another NVMe, even when adaptors are avaiable.
- balls187 6y agoAbout 1/10 times I have to either unplug my USB-C monitor cable, open my Intel MBP, or both, in order to get my Mac to wake up properly. I had similar issues with my Surface Book 2, though it wasn't as pronounced as my mac.
- girishso 6y agoMy M1 MacBook Air never shuts down cleanly, it reboots on it’s own and after login prompts to send error report. It has happened every single time.
- myrandomcomment 6y agoYou have defective HW or you have installed 3rd party driver that is broken. If the 3rd party HW driver is out, take it to Apple and get a new one. Really.
- girishso 6y agoThanks will do it.
- girishso 6y agoI did call Apple service. They suggested creating a temporary new user and logging into that account. It shuts down cleanly from that account, means there's some third party software or config that's causing the issue. It's not easy to pinpoint the problematic software.
- Eric_WVGG 6y agoCuriously, the M1 Macs don't support Hibernation at all. The feature has been dropped. (run `pmset -g cap`, you’ll see that hibernatemode and hibernatefile have disappeared.) Regarding your troubles, I'm not really surprised that it's not working with a third-party SSD, and it definitely sounds like a hibernation glitch. Have you tried disabling hibernation altogether? disable: `sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0` re-enable: `sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3` (in fact, if my admittedly poor memory serves, I think I busted hibernation mode on my old 2009 17" MBP doing the same thing, and this trick fixed sleep…)
