MacOS – Macbook Pro 2016 unable to restart due to Google Chrome

google-chromehangmacos

I just received a 2016 Macbook Pro 15 touch running Sierra and after installing a bunch of apps and restarting I received the error message

Your Mac hasn't restarted because "Google Chrome" failed to quit. To continue restarting, quit "Google Chrome".

Chrome then becomes unresponsive and all you can do is force quit. So I decided to do a clean install of Sierra and immediately install Chrome after setup completed to ensure it was Chrome and not some other app. However I get the exact same results. I can't see anything obvious related to this issue in the console either.

Is this likely a hardware issue? I assume it must since I would expect there to be hundreds of google search results for this error if everyone had the same issue.

If Google Chrome is the only program that gives you this problem it is most likely a software issue with Google Chrome. Ensure that you have the latest version installed - or even try installing Google Chrome Canary to see if it includes a fix.

MacOS – AppleScript working until placed in cron; causing Chrome to go unresponsive

Using the same applescript; I moved over to launchd; using a generic template pulled from

and everything behaved just as expected. I'm not sure what I was missing in my cron environment; but the answer seems to be to avoid crontabs for simple applescripts for now..

MacOS – VeraCrypt after Sierra upgrade: mount_osxfuse: the OSXFUSE file system is not available (255)

The following script from this link fixes the problem: https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/issues/315

I called this kextclean:

#!/bin/bash

function status() {
    kextstat | grep org.virtualbox.kext > /dev/null 2>&1 ;
    vbox=$((1-$?))
    kextstat | grep com.github.osxfuse > /dev/null 2>&1 ;
    fuse=$((1-$?))
}

status

if [ "$1" == "vbox" ] ; then
    if [ $vbox == 1 ] ; then
    echo "Already vbox"
    else
        sudo kextunload -b com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfuse
        sudo kextutil "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxDrv.kext" -r "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox"
        sudo kextutil "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxNetAdp.kext" -r "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox"
        sudo kextutil "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxNetFlt.kext" -r "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox"
        sudo kextutil "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxUSB.kext" -r "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox"
    fi
elif [ "$1" == "fuse" ] ; then
    if [ $fuse == 1 ] ; then
    echo "Already fuse"
    else
        sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp
        sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv
        sudo kextutil /Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Extensions/10.12/osxfuse.kext
    fi
elif [ "$1" == "status" ] ; then
    echo "vbox = $vbox"
    echo "fuse = $fuse"
else
    echo "Run $0 <vbox|fuse|status>"
fi
