In trying to set up and log into my new Macbook Pro 15' with TouchBar, I got only as far as entering my network information when I received the error message:Ī critical software update is required for your Mac, but an error was encountered while installing this update. If my batteries were not got drained I would have reinstalled the OS, but that is not the right solution apparently.Īpple Care helped me to but there is not clear procedure for update loop, luckily my batteries drained triggered the idea to me and the apple agent to give it a try with the SMC Reset.įinally it seems there is no such Critical Update pending, is just an error produced by some SMC / MacOS combined disruption. In addition to the Update loop, 'fortunately' my batteries also got totally drained and macbook did not charge anymore. Reboot to ensure everything works correctly on next boot.

I have a couple of Apple Stores where I could take it but Corona has made that a royal PITA, but things are getting better. I've done a bunch of googling on the issue and it would appear to be an issue with the non-replaceable SSD, but I wanted to get your opinion as well. Going to sleep and waking up it still happened. When we were without internet for a month, it did not happen once when just sitting there. This comes in fits and spurts - two days in a row and then nothing for a week or two. I've also noticed it will crash when left overnight plugged in on my desk at home. I first noticed it when it would refuse to wake from sleep and I would have to attach it to power and press and hold the power button. 2x Time Machine, 1x Carbon Copy Cloner, and 1x Backblaze. The genius asked me if I had a backup, I told him I had 4. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it. I took it to the Apple Store and they’re running diagnostics on it.
