In recent days we have seen incidents with the graphics cards that carry the new Macbook Pro. Everything indicated that the problem was related to a hardware problem. Instead, the problem may finally be software, as we have known the last few hours.
The problems are of several types: images with indeterminate colors, strange textures, slides, Apparently Craig Federighi himself would have answered a user in the well-known MacRumors forum indicating that the problems they present would have been resolved in the next update, which is currently in a very advanced situation.
First of all, users of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro, with the dedicated graphics card, were the most likely to have these types of problems. It makes sense, since the configuration of the new Apple laptop in the 15-inch version brings an even more Pro configuration.
In any case, some users of the 13-inch version also began to comment on similar problems. Here it affects computers with or without Touch Bar, ruling out any incompatibility problem with Apple's new bar.
Apparently, the problem is solved with a restart of the computer, or at least temporarily, but of course, this is not a logical solution.
If it is true that version 10.12.2 of Apple's operating system solves these problems, the solution will be about to arrive for these long-suffering users, since version 6 was published last Friday. The final version is expected to be available sooner. of the Christmas holidays.
For the tranquility of the users, Craig Federighi himself would have answered the users in MacRumors with the following message:
Hello,
Thanks for the note! We believe we have addressed all of these graphical issues in the latest version of Sierra 10.12.2 (available at beta.apple.com).
I hope you enjoy your new MacBook Pro - it's a fantastic machine!
Craig
We cannot be sure whether Federighi himself would have written in the post, but it is unlikely that the account is forged, and we see no reason for it.
We eagerly await the new update and thus avoid the replacement of equipment, especially if this measure does not solve the current problems.
I have a macbook Air and I have the same problem has a year of use! What could I do!
Hello Enrique Gómez. Update to the latest version that your equipment allows, and if it is not solved ... Go to the technical service, which is one year old !!
A greeting.
