yes on a recent imac 27, but graphics the glitch filled the entire screen and it was on a shutdown attempt or two.
Got a tip for us?

I am having the same problem on my 2012 mac mini. Safari crashes to login every time...
Just to follow up on this: I posted on the Apple Support Forums, which was a pretty useless affair. The usual power users with 50,000+ "points" replied and blamed everything from 3rd party kexts to my aftermarket Crucial DRAM which I've been using 3 years without any issues. Obviously, the short answer is that the kernel panic has no useful information in the log pointing to a specific cause and there was nothing to do but trial and error.
In the end, I decided to boot to the 10.12 recovery partition and install Sierra over my existing HD while retaining my user data. This seems to be working so far, but time will tell. Considering it was seeing a kernel panic every 10 minutes, the fact that it's been up for 12+ hours now is promising. I'm also noticing weird benefits to installing *over* my existing OS versus upgrading from El Capitan. The GUI stuttering is fixed and animations are smooth. Siri appears and responds faster (but still doesn't understand song names, of course.) A lot of crashes I would get at bootup for 1st party Apple background processes have also stopped.
I'm sure if I did a clean install from the start, I'd be having a totally different experience. This is my first time doing an actual upgrade from an old Mac OS version. I usually participate in the beta testing and end up wiping my drive when I'm done for a clean install of the GM build. What a freaking pain in the but this experience has been. :/
Major bug for me: If I full-screen any app (Green <> title bar button) I'm immediately logged out. (Mid 2014 15" Retina MBP.)
I run Windows 10 in Parallels and my VM defaults to full screen in a separate space, the logouts were unmounting my Boot Camp partition and sleeping the VM, almost hosed things for me, but thankfully I was able to escape Blue Screen land using CHKDSK at the administrative Dos prompt.
Another oddity is that the Today/Notifications Panel is no longer dark in Dark Mode, which is really annoying, but not critical.

I have lots of issues after the update.
- Finder crashing/hanging
- Slow shut down (I have to relaunch finder most of the time to be able to restart or shutdown)
- General lagging when opening most apps.
- Can't quit most apps normally I have to force quit.
- First aid is telling me to run it from recovery mode but recovery mode First aid tells me everything is alright.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or deliberate but when saving a file (regardless of the application), clicking on another (pre-existing) filename in the Save As window does not replace the new file's name with that selected filename.
For example: I'm working with file item.php but I want to save as index.asp. Normally I'd select the existing index.asp file in my folder and I can then just hit save rather than having to type out the new filename.
When I click on index.asp, however, nothing happens. The "save as" filename stays the same. So, a bug or a deliberate (and annoying!) change by Apple?

You're not.
I found that aspect of the GUI counter-intuitive in pre-release Yosemite but (sorry) I probably didn't feed a bug to Apple; there was so much change for the sake of change that I had no hope of a fix.
So I'm having an issue with battery life with Sierra running on an early 2015 MacBook Pro. I am a fairly new Mac user. I was getting 10 to 11 hours on a full charge and now it's showing 7 hours. Is there anything that I can do or do I have to just accept it? Is it possible to go back to El Capitan? Thanks for any input offered.
I have some problems with icloud, safari, app store and itunes after upgrade to Sierra.
icloud: cannot connect to the server.
safari: I can open the safari but cannot browse any website, it always blank page, but I can use chrome to browse any pages.
app store: I can open the app store but there is noting on it, looks like cannot connect to the server.
itunes: i can open the itunes but there is nothing on it. It will crash after 1 minute. I have download the newest version from apple website but still not working.
Anyone know what happened?

Hi lotones,
I am having the same issue i believe. Siri is completely unresponsive and i have tried everything to my knowledge.
I was in contact with Apple Support last night and i screen shared with a Senior chat advisor for about 1 hour. They have generated a report to go Apple engineers and i will update when they get back to me.
Regards,
Nab
When I import images or go to the Aperture metadata information page, I get the following error (see image)
When I do import images, the preset metadata does get attached to the images.
It works correctly, but if I need to change metadata, I can't. It is annoying.
The details of the error message,

If you have done a full system backup with time machine before upgrading, you can restore it to the El Capitan.
Early 2011 MBP, external drive connected via thunderbolt to USB adapter keep getting disconnected when locked (not sleep). Never happened in El-cap.
I upgraded lastnight on a late 2012 iMac and I initially had some very strange responses from Siri. I started by picking one of the suggested commands offered. "Launch Photos" didn't open the app but replied "Here, this is what i found on the web" and showed about 20 photos of a rocket launching! Nice but not what I asked for!
[doublepost=1474535047][/doublepost]I seem to be having a few issues with the sidebar:
1. Slow to open
2. A few times clicking on the social shortcuts the Dialogue box has not opened to either Tweet or send an iMessage.
3. Twitter and World clocks appear to do a full refresh every time I scroll past them or open the bar afresh.
4. A few times I have clicked the lines icon on the top to open the sidebar. It then opens AND closes instantly
5: Also the Twitter section has all text and pictures truncated on the left hand side

Microsoft Remote Desktop v.2.1 (in Office 2011) is not working with Sierra, at least when there's no certificate on the host machine. RDC pop-ups a windows "there's no trusted certificate, do you want to proceed", and when you click "proceed" the same window returns and you can click "proceed" the whole day if you want.
Also had a hiccup with the Dock, while programs were running and usable, Dock didn't respond to the mouse. But it took less than a minute that it became responsive.
UPDATE: There's a new version of RDC in App Store, so will fetch it.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I don't have a time machine backup so I guess I have to hope there's an update to fix the horrible battery life. To go from 10 hours to 6 hours is pretty painful and I'll never update the operating system again. As a new Mac user, lesson learned.
You're a brave one. I never dare to update any Apple machine without making a backup first. I highly recommend to start the practise.
two lessons here, 1) First never say never 2) the real lesson should be never upgrade, do clean install. the 4 hour reduction cannot be explained by sierra; must be something else, sorry but sierra is not that bad, even though i wont upgrade to sierra close to when the next mac os is out. i am happy with el capitan specially with safari 10 which finally after a year makes safari usable for me again
Clean Install is a hassle but basically install after work on Friday, then start the Time Machine restore and by the next morning, you're good. With the App Store, clean installs (not from Time Machine) are getting much easier but it's still a full saturday to get things back to normal.
I am a new Mac user so excuse my ignorance, but what is a Time Machine? I'm willing to do a clean install but I'm really not familiar with backups and all of that.
