thinking of upgrading to OS Sierra


Recommended Posts

I've been running on Sierra for a few weeks now and haven't had an issue until 10.12.3. When that was installed the operating system was crashing! It would should down and restart and perhaps with our without coincidence I was running VW at the time. I'm running a Mac Pro (Late 2013) with the following. Just be aware this may be an issue. Apple support hadn't heard of there being any issues and hardware as eliminated as the culprit.

Processor Name:    6-Core Intel Xeon E5

  Processor Speed:    3.5 GHz

  Number of Processors:    1

  Total Number of Cores:    6

  L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB

  L3 Cache:    12 MB

  Memory:    32 GB

Out of curiously, why?

 

OS upgrades ( clean installs don't have the problem) tend to mess with permissions settings to some extent, sometimes in applications and sometimes in the user folder. Reinstalling resets these to defaults and can avoid a lot of issues.

Some students on the german forum with their week macbooks complained about

VW SP3 using more and more RAM over time so that they have to restart VW after a while.

 

While it may stayed at 4 GB before, it would now increase over time until their 8 GB

RAM is exceeded for the same projects.

 

My VW needs 1,25 GB, without even any file opened.
