Macbook Pro 15 retina Fan unusual speed

Hi, I have just received my new macbook pro retina 15" but I have a problem with Fan Noise.
Them start randomly to run at full speed (5900 rpm) even if i am just web surfing on facebook, not even using flash adobe.
I checked activity monitor and the cpu is never over 20% of max use.
I did SMC reset, new account, Format and reinstall, PRam reset, None of those makes this strange behavior stop.
the fan start running randomly at max speed for 10-15 seconds then back to 2000 rpm, then them start again still randomly.
I really don't know what to do.
Thanks for your help.

You say you have done the SMC reset. At this point there is nothing else that I can come up with that would actually solve the issue. You are under warranty, use it.
Ciao.

Macbook pro 15" retina fan frequently kick in.

HI,
My new macbook pro 5 days old has a weird problem.
1st it became really hot, like untouchable hot near the upper keyboard. and the fans didnt kick in.
So i bought a cooling pad, and now it runs cooler ( w/o switching the cooler on as the cooler has a 'hole' where the mac gets hot. :-) )
now the fans frequently blast to 6000rpm! with no reason what so ever. so i downloaded istat. my CPU temp is around 42˚C and the ambient room temp is around 30˚C.
It happens every 15-20 mins and lasts for 15-20 sec. I have reset SMC. Still nothing
Also during this period the CPU is doing nothing. it's running at 1 ~2% user and 1~2% system.
And the GPU switches from HD4000 to GT650M. and the GT650M uses ALL the memory.
I live in India and have purchased it from a local reseller. pls advice.

If you tried the resetting of the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
And no difference, I would make an appointment with the genius bar, for evaluation, resolve or exchange.
You have 14 days to return/exchange
Back up your data.

It is un-nerving to say the least when your fans ramp up to 6000 rpm under no load, something is not right here of course.

Why App Store Speed is very slow on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

Hi,
I'm facing few problems on my Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display in terms of Net Speed.
I live in Delhi, India. I have 8 MBPS Broadband Plan. I have a Windows PC too at my home and Galaxy S2 Smart Phone. Both gives an awesome speed of around 7 to 8 MBPS Easily.
But my Macbook Pro never gives a speed in App Store. It takes lot's of time to download Apps or Updates.
Additional Details:
I'm using Airtel DNS as my connection is Airtel.
202.56.215.54
202.56.215.55
For example see this:

EVERYONE is downloading that update right now - whenever I received a Developer Seed notice, it would take hours for me to download the new beta release, becasue so many others were downloading at the same time. Usually that little 840MB combo update would start out at 5 hours or so and then successfully download in 2-3 hours. So you're just going to have to be patient on this one.
If the Mac App Store is slow on other files, however - say you're downloading EverNote for the first time - then I would contact the MAS support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
The 10.8.3 download is just going to be slow, however, because people all over the world are downloading it and there are just so many Apple servers and just so many copies of those files on the server.
So, on this one, just take a big breath and relax!

My macbook pro with retina display

As a person that likes apple products like me i love the macbook pro with retina display, but there is one complaint that i have that i dont know how to fix. my macbook pro with retina display is getting to a point when it starts to overheat when i play graphically intense applications from the play store or off steam which has games as well. i dont know why this is that the macbook heats up i would like to fix this problem because i dont want this thing to start burning the internals and my computer starts to break itself because of heat problems. if anyone knows how to fix this problem please tell me i would like to know.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All PCs and Macs get hot while running heavy apps that require hardware work harder than with other tasks, so you shouldn't be worried about that.
However, if you feel that your computer doesn't turn on fans automatically when it gets hot, you may have a problem. Morever, this is a bigger problem in the MacBook Pro with Retina display, that has got less space to cool down your computer, getting higher temperatures.
If fans don't turn on, run Apple Hardware Test, holding Option (Alt) and D keys while your computer is starting. Connect the MacBook Pro to the charger, choose your language, mark the option to make extended test and start this. If at the end you see an error, copy it here and take your MacBook to an Apple Store.
If you don't get any error, you can use an application like smcFanControl to set up temperatures as you want. You shouldn't set up a speed higher than 2000 rpm if you don't want to damage your computer

I erased my new macbook pro 2013 retina. now to reinstall os I have problem

3 weeks ago I bought a new brand macbook pro 2013 retina; but I erased the whole hard with the intention of making my mac look just like the 1st day. I thought starting it up again is as easy an iPhone. ( you know, when you erase an iPhone you don't have to download ios again). but then I found out it's not that easy. I tried every possible way to reinstall mavericks like building a bootable flash drive using terminal, diskmakerX, etc. but no luck; I was desperate so talked to developer od the diskmakerX app and he told me the only way for me is to redownload mavericks directly form my new macbook pro; I tried it too, but since here in my country, Iran, internet speed is really slow besides that the country IP is in usa sanctions, downloading a huge file like mavericks which is about 5.3 GB was not an easy task; anyway, everytime I started the downloading it disconnected after a while and I had to click to download again after a few times doing so now when I try to start downloading get this error :"a server with the specified hostnamecould not be found" or "could not find installation information for this machine"
now my newly bought macbook pro is completely useless
I would really really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this friggin' issue; it is driving me crazy
Thank you in advance for your time and energy and GOD bless you

well I have a mb Air, is it ok?
No. It has to be the same MBP model as yours.
To clone, you attach an external HDD to a MBP and open DISK UTILITY>RESTORE and fill the appropriate fields with the host MBP and the external HDD. Click on Restore and then the data with the OSX will be copied to the external HDD.
Then attach the HDD to the recipient MBP (yours) and boot the MBP with the OPTION key held down. The external HDD will appear, select it and boot the MBP. Again select DISK UTILITY>RESTORE. Select the external HDD as the Source and the MBP as the Destination and click on Restore. The data with the OSX will be copied on to your MBP from the external HDD. It then should be functional.
Ciao.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

I have a macbook pro 15" Retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram yet when i try to download a HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD?

i have a macbook pro 15" retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram when i try to download an HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD? i went to the support on the apple website and looked at the specs that a computer has to meet in order to play HD movies and mine is well above them. Why can't i play the movies?

That would at least partially explain it.
These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
"If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

My Macbook pro w/retina will no longer connect to my tv.

My Macbook pro w/ retina display won't connect with my TV via HDMI cable anymore, both the tv screen and computer screen turn black, the sound works but there is no display. How do I fix this? It worked before I downloaded mountain lion, does it have to do with the new software?

180ºF is hot, but that's to be expected when playing games. My average temp - right now - is 160ºF and I'm just surfing the web and creating a clone backup. So your temps aren't unusual.
And before you reach a point where the temps could damage your Mac, the computer will execute a thermal shutdown.
So you've nothing to worry about...

What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining. I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows. I have heard that the best PC is a Mac. Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7. The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs. I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers. I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro. I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP. The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version.
Question 1. Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?
Question 2. How do I install the drivers?

Would this work? And also, what is the VM I need? Where do I get it?

Reason for blurring of text in MacBook Pro with retina display?

I was in an Apple store recently and examined a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
I noticed that when I expanded the size of the text (using the touchpad) on the Apple web page on the screen that there was a brief blur in the appearance of the text before the text looked sharp again at the larger size.
I asked an Apple person at the store why this occurred. He claimed that the brief blurring of the text that I saw when I expanded its size was due to my eyes adjusting to the rapid change in text size.
The answer appeared ridiculous to me. I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro about 5 years old as well as an iPad 2 and iPad mini. On none of these machines have I seen the temporary blurring of the text appearance when increasing its size.
Is there an inherent problem with retina displays that causes this problem?
Thanks for your help

Nah, it was due to the image zoom being processed off the server for the Apple website and the likely clogged connection wifi speeds off the local router in that specific Apple store.
most websites are not designed for retina level viewing either
Ive done zoom in on a Retina here at the house with 30MB down speeds and never had a blurring unless it was coming off a jammed up server from a specific website that was slow.

MacBook Pro with Retina display in game graphics and SMC

I recently bought a MacBook Pro with retina display and started playing STC2 on it. I experienced great gameplay with maxed out graphics and 30fps, however recently the fps was down and as part of my trobleshooting I reset the SMC and that seemed to correct the issue. However the computer heats up much faster now and the fans seem to labor to keep it cool. When the fps was lower before i reset the SMC the computer did not get nearly as hot. My question is; is this the OS trying to protect the hardware from overheating or just a glitch?

Well unless you want to go through the hassle of waiting for a replacement unit you can try a few things on your own.
Make sure it is plugged in and charging (Orange LED light will indicate it is charging Green means it is fully charged)
Once it is plugged in make sure everything else is unplugged
The only thing plugged in should be the power adapter
On the left hand side of your keyboard press down and hold the Control Shift and Option Keys
While you are holding down those three keys hold down the power button as well
Hold down all 4 of these for 10 seconds
After 10 seconds let go
Try turning your mac on
If this works problem fixed!
If this does not work try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (You get 90 days of free complimentary phone support on your product)
If you purchased AppleCare you have 3 years of it and you should have this number on hand it can really help you out
I always advise friends and family to purchase applecare if they plan on having their product longer than a year
You will get 3 years of phone support as well as hardware support
That means if you have any questions or anything goes wrong just call Apple
It also means if your computer breaks it is covered! Meaning no out of pocket expenses unless it is water or accidental damage
You may really want to look into purchasing applecare
