Which tells us they purposely removed 430.x FW from final release to boost Studio sells. I'm not buying any stories about improving FW for final release or similar. They left our Pro machines in the dust. What about famous sentence "it's just works", obviously not anymore.
Reporting back..So what I did was delete the photos library in the Pictures folder and will let it sit and go to sleep and see what happens...
I did not use the photos app on macpro 6,1, so I would think that it would not do anything since there is no photos currently in it (and never has been), but will try your suggestion and report back is a few days (or if it crashes) to update those that are trying various possible solutions.
I don't think I have been counting the days for a next version of an OS so much as I have been doing as of recently. I hope I am wrong about Apple and their abandonment of Mac Pro 6,1 so people would look to the Mac Studio... I cannot afford to purchase one since I just bought close to a maxed out MacBook Pro. Of course I would love to get a Mac Studio, but I really want Mac Pro 6,1 to function without this sleep/crash problem and as my backup system. By the time I save up some cash, we may be on a M3 silicon or above..
It might have been good to say that many other users of Mac Pro 2013 had also voiced this issue on blogs etc. and is not an isolated or as Apple tends to say 'effects just a few users...' this issue is wide spread.
I have determined that trying to "hide" the Photos files (all *.photoslibrary files) does not prevent the crashes and now have them offline on a portable drive.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS CRASH MOVED FROM MY iMAC TO A NEW MAC STUDIO USING MIGRATION ASSISTANT.
Maybe why Apple pulled the firmware...might have seen it as a software issue instead?
Same here no freeze in weeks with 430. We could send Apple feedback asking to release new firmware.
Well...that did not work. After two days of not touching my Mac Pro 6,1 and letting it sleep, it crashed again.
Yep; already did so through the tier-2 support conversation I had after week-1. I would encourage ANYONE else who’s also used the beta v5 firmware trick to setup a support ticket and ask to speak to a senior advisor and just clearly articulate the issue and the fact that this seems to have fixed it while NOTHING else did.
Ooops... I guess I used the $ sign instead of local currency, I purchased mine in 2018. But regardless, that was just a figurative number, to express that it was expensive, I was not even thinking of quoting an exact amount.
Sorry. I'm not trying to correct you. I'm just kind of a nerd for details like that.
Well, I'm a believer. Installed the 12.3 beta v5 over 12.3.1 (was surprised the installer allowed me to downgrade) and noted that firmware version 430.100.23.0.0 was installed. I put the machine to sleep, waited about 10 minutes and then woke it up. Woke perfectly. Tried this a few more times with no problems (it -had- been crashing EVERY time it woke from sleep). I then installed 12.3.1 (non beta) and still no problems. I'll post back if any thing changes.
You might be referring to my posts, and the “Apple SSD Requirement” used to be a thing, but that ended in (I believe) Mojave. Whoever owned my 6,1 before me had upgraded to a 3rd party SSD back in the early days of owning the tower, so my machine NEVER got any of the FW updates between high-Sierra and Big Sur. That said, it was able to run Big Sur even with its older firmware.
As Loby said above, his Mac still crashed after removing the Photos app's data file. Mine has done the same thing on my Mac Studio and iMac. I just looked at the crash reports and I have a string of 15 going back to April 14 that identify DYMO.WebApi.Server as the culprit. I tried to delete the app, "DYMO.WebApi.Mac.Host", which I had never seen before in my Applications folder, but it was open and could not be deleted via the Trash. I used "Activity Monitor" to delete it. My DYMO label printer still works, though I see there is a new application for printing DYMO labels called DYMO Connect.app. I will now continue testing to see if either the Mac Studio or the iMac crashes while sleeping.
I can confirm that at least for one week since installation of 12.3. BETA 5 with firmware 430.xx (and 12.4 BETA 1&2).
This is wonderful news! Looking forward to the public release!
