![]() ![]() You may find it preferable to use my free Consolation, available from the Downloads item above, which provides sophisticated facilities for browsing log entries which have already been made. logarchive file, then browse that using Console. Workaround: use the log show command in Terminal, or export the whole log to a. This has been the case since Sierra 10.12. The Console utility does not provide full access to log entries already gathered before the app is opened. (Thanks to defjaf for reporting this below.)Ĭonsole – no access to full historic log data Osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" to open location ""' The workaround is to aim the command at Safari: (-1708)Īlthough that code works fine in the Script Editor. Osascript – open location fails in AppleScriptĮxecution error: "" doesn’t understand the “open location” message. The only workaround is to view the app’s icon in the Finder, which does have a progress circle shown with it. This is a new bug with version 2.2.1 of the App Store app included in the 10.12.5 update.ĭuring longer downloads, a progress indicator may be shown as previously. The only indicator will be seen when viewing the app being updated in the Finder. When downloading some updates, the App Store app may show no progress indicators at all. (Thanks to derdennis for reporting this.)Īpp Store – app has lost its progress bar There does not appear to be any workaround. Those which had previously been accessible are no longer there. Preview, and other apps which rely on PDFKit, no longer support any items in the Services menu. Preview – loss of all items from Services menu (Thanks to Henry for reporting this below.) The workaround is to print (or save) to PDF and print that using an app which offers duplex mode. This is also true of Safari Technology Preview, and persists in 10.12.5. These are long-standing issues which date back to El Capitan.Ī new bug introduced with 10.12.4 is the loss of duplex printing options for certain Canon and Epson printers. The only way to prevent hard disks from being put to sleep is to prevent system sleep altogether. Further details are here.Ī further bug affects some models, including the iMac17,1 with a Fusion Drive: irrespective of the setting to put hard disks to sleep (ticked or not), system sleep invariably puts hard disks to sleep. The features available in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences are inconsistent between Macs, and incomplete, for example not providing a separate control slider for system sleep on some hardware. It has remained unfixed in 10.12.4 and 10.12.5 (see reports in comments below).Įnergy Saver pane – inconsistencies in controls, and misbehaviour on some models This bug was reported to Apple in February 2017. The only solution is to restart the affected Mac. The most obvious symptom is that scheduled backups stop, becoming very irregular. ![]() Macs which are left running continuously for more than about 7 days are liably to develop this. The long-running bug affecting undocumented systems in macOS which schedule and dispatch background activities, most notably including Time Machine backups, has still not been fixed in 10.12.5. Time Machine and other background activities – irregular and unreliable after long periods of running (Thanks to Richard Petersen for reporting this.) The workaround is to disable display sleep if affected, and rely on a screensaver which darkens much or all of the display. This was new with 10.12.4, and persists in 10.12.5. So far the only way to restore a normal image on the internal display is to restart. Although the external displays wake normally, the iMac display does not. There is no workaround: printing from Contacts is at least partly broken for now.ĭisplay sleep – multiple display setups may not wake properly after sleepĪ few users, mainly with iMac 5K models, are reporting that allowing display sleep with one or more external displays connected causes problems when waking. Almost any control which you try to adjust after that will result in an unexpected quit: for example, editing the Attributes, or changing the Flip Style. With the uppermost popup menu reading Contacts (for the app-specific print settings), select the Style of Pocket Address Book. ![]() Open the Print dialog in Contacts, and Show Details. Note, though, that those are no longer maintained.Ĭontacts – unexpected quit from Print dialog If you are looking for a list of bugs in previous versions of Sierra, that for 10.12.4 is here, for 10.12.3 is here, for 10.12.2 is here, for 10.12.1 is here and for 10.12 is here. This list is no longer maintained: please refer to that last for the latest information. Note that bad features, poor interface design, and problems with third-party apps, etc., are listed separately here.įollowing the release of Sierra 10.12.6, this list has been superseded by the new list for 10.12.6. ![]()
