After switching to macOS Sierra MacBook Pro MASSIVE battery drain

I have a MacBook Pro of the retina (end 2012) now under macOS Sierra and my battery is to be wiped out at a crazy pace of knots.

I used to be able to go out with my MBP without a power cord and have at least 6-7 hours of use and I run Parallels desktop as well, so when I went out Saturday and got less than 2 hours, I was just a little worried.

I've done just about everything which has been mentioned in conjunction with this issue, including, starting in safemode, NV and PR RAM reset, reset the hardware controller etc, etc nothing works.

Someone at - it any other suggestions, or is this just a waiting game for an update of Apple's Sierra?

Expect indexing to complete.  Then see if it goes back to normal.

    There has been a lot of complaints of not being able to use the resolution full screen on 3 monitors of party, who has worked in El Capitan.  I've seen all the problems such as you report.

    However, I guess the graphics driver passed under changes in the Sierra, and it is possible, that this is yet another side effect.

  • Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

    Hey all

    After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

    I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

    There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

    The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

    What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:

    If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

    Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

    If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

    If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

    If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

    1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
    2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
    3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

    If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

    Take care.

  • after upgrade to macOS sierra cannot connect to citrix receiver apps

    I use Citrix receiver apps to make my day to day work. The same citrix apps are also accessible via a web browser (Safari) and everything worked fine until the version IE Capitan.

    After upgrade to macOS sierra I can't you connect/launch of citrix apps. I tried with receiver and citrix via web browser as well, but its not connecting.

    Is anyone else facing the same issue or know the fix.

    Earlier, I thought that maybe some problem of connectivity, but after a lot of troubleshooting it still did not work and shows the same error "failed to initialize." (attached image).

    Then clicked on suddenly to mind that I just upgraded my MacBook OS. In order to confirm if his new problem of macOS or anything else, I have installed Windows 10 on vmware fusion and tried to connect to citrix receiver and it worked only! without any operation of additional troubleshooting, it is confirmed that the issue is again macOS.

    So as a temporary workaround, you can use virtual windows OS on top of the operating system Mac OS page sierra to launch citrix applications.

    But apple needs to fix in the Sierra.

    This seems to be, in part, a browser problem.

    Have you tried, since El Capitan or Sierra, another browser?

    And it would move from Citrix to make their applications compatible with OSX.

  • MacBook Pro crashed after update to macOS Sierra

    After I tried to update my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra, this screen came:

    In case you can't read it, it says "apple.com/support-1007F'.

    After restart my MacBook Pro, he asked for my Wi - Fi connection information, so I typed in it and it showed a loading bar. Then came to this screen:

    I didn't know which option to choose, what is called Apple Care to help make a choice. They said to choose 'Reinstall OS X' so I did. Then my screen says something like "click and drag to the browser that you want to download in" but nothing has popped up.

    I don't know what is happening with my computer. Hard drive failure? This update was not the largest update so I don't know why all this is happening.

    If you have any ideas or solutions, please respond! That would be incredible!

    Thank you guys!

    It seems that your Mac can not find the system disk. It seems that the drive has failed and your Mac is now in recovery mode.

  • After restoring from Time Machine MacBook Pro displays all my pictures, Documents etc. as 'other '.

    I recently installed a new HD in my mid-2010, MacBook Pro that the original was defective, I then restored from a time Machine up which was recorded on an external drive. My MacBook is now going great but I noticed the problem with how my saved items are displayed, I have about 110 GB of Photos, documents, etc. and all are showing as 'Other' when they should be distributed in the divisions 'Apps', 'Movies', etc.. I'm not sure how to solve the problem, I tried a Migration Wizard, but it says 'User needs Attention' so don't know where to go from here really. Any ideas?

  • After that I immigrated from macbook pro, iMac, I can't open the project

    I tried to open projects in the external hard drive with the new iMac.  Some of the film clip was't it.  So I moved all my files from the MacBook Pro, iMac and tried again to open the project.  Then error message informs you that the file is used by another account and cannot open.

    The account was my account until I immigrated.

    Help, please!

    There may be problems with some file permissions.

    Around that, the simplest method is to set the "Ignore ownership on this Volume" checkbox

    -Select the external hard drive in the Finder

    -Press command-I to open the read window information

    -If necessary, click the lock and enter your password

    -Check the box that says "ignore ownership on this Volume".

  • After having migrated constantly new Macbook Pro, Photoshop and Bridge, Version Cue Crash

    I just upgraded to the new MacBook Pro and CS4 crashes any time I try to open a file. "Fatal error - component missing/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework" I've read that the best thing to do so that the error is to uninstall and reinstall, but my new machine doesn't have an optical drive, so my old drives doesn't help us much.  Also, I bought CS4 during a limited time for the modernization of CS1, so I had to call technical support to get activated, so even if I managed to reinstall (perhaps by copying of my installation on USB disks)? I expect to have problems with the reactivation.  Any advice before you start to tinker?

    You are on the way to install the software using the USB.

    Migration tool is not recommended, we should install the application correctly.

    You get two activation with each suite or software that allows you to install iton 2 computer, so I don't think this shou d to be the problem, but if you encounter the error of activation you can contact the Adob Support for Activation given account to zero.

  • MacBook Pro swollen battery and touch pad don't slam

    My 2011 MacBook Pro has been inactive for 3 months and when I put it in the service of the touch pad will not work correctly.

    After finding the empty battery, I loaded for several hours and it took the charge.  3 days later, the load is always good.  the problem is that, while the cursor moves easily, the touchscreen function (enter) will not work.  The pad seems to be a little swollen as well.

    I was in a harsh climate in Saudi Arabia for a year and had a few touch pad issues with swelling of the battery.  When I returned in North America the problem disappeared.  Now the problem is back.

    I'd like suggestions on maintenance or replacement battery.

    Hi there Jaggerdog,

    If I understand correctly, you want to know how to go about setting up of service for your MacBook Pro that has problems with the battery. Take a look at the Web Service Response Center page linked below, it describes the service options for your device in several countries.
