Macbook Pro 2019, apps crashing

Hi, I'm having this same issue too. I force quit all my applications and yet this crashing keeps happening. It happened after the most recent update. I am unsure what is going on, and have lost several hours of work accumulated over this time period. For reference, I have a MacBook Air, M2 (2022)

The next step is to download and run EtreCheck. A short description with instructions for posting its report in a reply to your Discussion is here:

Run it in normal mode (not "Safe Mode") and while logged into the User Account with the problem.

Subseqent to upgrading macOS, restart your Mac in the usual manner. If the crashes continue to persist contact Apple: Official Apple Support. You did everything reasonable to address the problem.

Although I doubt it is related to the crashes I recommend uninstalling the "AppCleaner" product. At the very least, disable its "SmartDelete" function. That will keep it from interfering with your Mac's operation.

Ok thanks. Let us know what Apple has to suggest. Probably everything you already did, followed by (perhaps) reinstalling Lightroom, so try that if you haven't already.

Uninstalling Google is simple: Uninstall Google Chrome. You cannot uninstall Google Chrome without uninstalling Google (and the converse is also true).

Apple won't like the fact you're using an older version of Lightroom. Their first recommendation is always to update apps, update macOS... etc. Expect them to be rather obstinate about that until you capitulate.

Hello, It is happening to me as well since Nov 2023. The apps get crashed randomly and the worst part is that sometimes the OS gets crashed as well. Initially, I was using macOS Ventura and the crashing started happening within that period.

I consulted some tech guy around my town and he told me to upgrade my OS to an updated version and this eliminated the problem but as soon as I updated this to Sonoma which is currently the latest build available, it kept apps and even OS crashing randomly there too.

I tried hard to understand the cause of the issue but nothing seems to work out. Maybe, there is some underlying hardware that is causing this crashing. My doubts go with the health of the hard drive built-in.

The same issues have begun for me. On the same model computer, too.

It started with three apps downloaded from the App Store - one crashed immediately upon opening or trying to use it, and the others varied between immediately or randomly in the background.

Then Safari and Chrome began doing the same thing. I could use them but at random times they would crash and then repeatedly crash when trying to re-open.

OS and all apps are up-to-date.

I had our work IT team look over it and the problem seemed isolated to the user account. The crashes weren't happening when logging in as a guest or when I created a new account.

No idea what was causing the issue but am now just working through setting up the new user account.

Please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support.
