Macbook Pro retina won't save my background picture!

Any one else having this issue? I set a picture as my background and then when I turn off my computer and back on it's a different picture, one that had been my background before. Let me know if anybody is having this same problem/what to do about it. It's not a big deal just kind of an annoyance.

I had this issue when I upgraded from Lion to ML GM and when the final came up I re-installed a fresh copy and this issue is gone.

  • My new macbook pro retina won't connect to my iPhone 4s via bluetooth

    Just bought macbook pro retina. have had iPhone 4s for two years and use it to tether my iPad to regularly no problem. however the macbook pro won't connect to the iPhone via bluetooth. it recognises it's there and a connection code is displayed, but when I enter the code it won't connect and the phone insists that I agree to 'forget this device'. how do I enable tethering so I can use the 3g signal to browse on my laptop whilst travelling please?

    Only thing I could suggest would be to "Reset Network Settings" on the phone (Settings> General> Reset>) . Of course, this will forget and delete any saved Wi-Fi or network configurations, but if that's not a problem for you then, maybe worth a shot.
    Although saying that, I think iCloud remembers old settings (if you are connected and sharing network configurations), so may not be a total loss.

  • MacBook Pro Retina, won't boot with USB3 attached.

    Hi!
    Enjoying my new computer(ofcourse), thought i ran into a troublesome problem:
    I plugged in Flashdrive 2, restarted and starting to hold alt to get into the boot menu.
    But it never showed up(tested for about 5min), the screen showed up in gray, but then no more action was seen.
    I pulled out Flashdrive 2 and had to hold the power key for a hard stop.
    Then started the computer as normal and the boot menu showed up just as normal!
    I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 1.
    And the very same course was repeated.
    Again I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 3 (with the very same ISO on it).
    The install of windows succeded without any problem at all!
    Note: When booted up in OSX i can read and format all the drives wiihout any type of error.
    Computer: MacBook Pro Retina; RAM: 8gb, SSD: 256gb. MacBook Pro and Air Update 1.0 Installed.
    Flashdrive 1a: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Ubuntu, bootable.

  • Macbook Pro Retina won't drive HDMI out

    So I was talked into the new MacBook Pro Retina in place of a new Mac Pro by the guys at the Apple store.  I told them I needed to drive 4 displays and they assured me the MBPr would do that.  2 from mini display ports.  1 from HDMI and it's own display.  Fair enough.
    Only, the HDMI out seems dead.  I am running two Dell monitors on the mini display to DVI connectors.  I am trying to run a 3rd Dell monitor on HDMI to Disply port but am getting no signal.  None.  Nada.  After a few seconds the monitor tells me there is no signal from the computer and it shuts down. 
    I have seen a lot of other issues around the HDMI output.  Anyone know the status?  Has Apple bugged this?  Is there a fix in the works?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    Try with just the HDMI external; display. I would suspect the HDMO cable if this test does not work. Tray a new HDMI cable. If the new cable does not work, take the computer to an authorized service center. There is no "bug" using HDMI to an external monitor.

  • Bluetooth Macbook Pro Retina Won't Respond or Turn Off

    I have a wireless trackpad paired to my Macbook Pro Retina via bluetooth. This has been working fine for a fair few weeks up until the last few days when the trackpad stops working and starts searching for bluetooth, but my bluetooth says it's on. I try to turn off the bluetooth on the Macbook and it will not turn off. It just freezes and stays "on" but not working. In addition, every time I try to access the bluetooth settings, everything on the setting page works except for the "turn bluetooth off" button.
    The only "fix" I have found so far is to restart my computer which is a huge hassle. Anyone else with this problem or know how to fix it?

    A couple of things to try,
    SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    NVRAM/PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    You may have to reset some of your prefences after this, including the BT set up, as this "flushes" out the set up which may have become corrupted somehow.
    If no joy post back, there are a few other things to check.

  • MacBook Pro Retina won't wake after after sleeping!

    On most occasions after my 13" MacBook Pro Retina  has been put to sleep (by closing lid or pressing Power  button) overnight  it will not wake up again until I have reset the Systems Management Controller.   Opening the lid, or Power button or Space bar still leaves a black screen.
    My wife's new 11" MacBook Air suffers similar problems even after our local Apple Store reinstalled Mavericks in an attempt to resolve the problem..
    Any thoughts on a solution would be gratefully received - thanks.

  • My MacBook Pro Retina won't turn on! Yesterday I installed the new updates.

    So it's fully charged. I used it without any problems last night, then shut it down. This morning when I tried to turn it on, it won't. I have Lion installed and am up to date with all of the software updates. There is a green light in the AC adapter. What should I do??

    I know this post is from back in September of last year, but I wanted to comment for posterity to say what worked for me with my July 2012 retina MBP refusing to turn on. From the link preludio posted above: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Use the "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own" method (ie., for all Macbook Pros early-2009 and later). Worked perfectly for me:
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • My new macBook Pro Retina won't connect to my wifi.  Password IS CORRECT.

    I just got a new-in-box retina MacBook Pro.  It sees my wifi network--signal is max--but the base station will not accept the 100% correct password.  Other devices have no trouble connecting.
    I'm setting it up for a PC switcher.  What an embarrassment!
    We're trying to connect to a Time Capsule base station which I added to my system last week.  No other devices have trouble connecting.
    Suggestions?
    --Jay

    -->Try Connect to Other.
    Done.  Failed.
    -->Try clearing the preferred network.
    If I understand you correctly, there is no preferred network.  It's a new machine, it's never connected to anything.
    -->Please update your signature with your installed operating system for the questionable MacBook Pro, or indicate what Mac OS X version you are running, so we can tell you if there are additional things to look for.
    Thanks for alerting me to this. I added some more stuff to my sig.
    It's a new Retina MacBook Pro, running Mavericks 9.0.  I just unboxed it this morning.

  • MacBook Pro Retina won't install windows 7 64bit

    Hi guys, i'm tryng to install windows 7 64bit but no success till now. I'm using an updated version ( service pack 1 integrated) when windows loads i can't install it on the bootcamp partition because it says"windows needs an ntfs partition to install" . Then i cancel that partition, create one new ntfs one, and try to install.... then windows tells me "Impossible to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. For further information, look at the program's registry files"
    It seems to be an error caused by a defective driver of the controller of the hard disk.... so the controller of the ssd. Or is it something else? how can i install windows via bootcamp on the new macbook pro with retina display?

    you format the FAT/MSDOS to NTFS inside the Windows installer.
    Windows installer: Advanced Options tab.
    You don't create, you just use the one "BOOTCAMP" that was created by Boot Camp Assistant.

  • Help: Macbook Pro Retina won't boot past Grey screen w/ Logo

    All,
    My computer died last night with each application not responding. I couldn't shut down normally so I held the power button to turn it off.
    Next morning, I tried to boot the MacBook Pro and the boot process stalled at the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel. I let it go for an hour and there was no change on the screen. Based on Apple's help desk I ran Hardware diagnostics (extended with looping disabled) and got the following error
    4HDD/11/40000000: SATA (0,0)
    The screen shot is below
    I ran this again with standard testing (no looping) and standard with looping and all gave the same results.
    Any ideas? The compute will not boot.
    Thank you
    Phillip

    That's what I thought but was able to do CMD-R and verify/repair permissions the disk. My hard drive is actually a flash drive so I'm guessing the controller or motherboard.
    I do have it backed up with the last 24 hours ago.
    Thanks
    Phillip

  • Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 Display Issue (w/ Picture)

    Hi!
    Last night while updating my macbook I noticed an strange problem. It seems like 1/3 of my screen has the retina display while the remaining screen has a weird transparent tint covering the screen. If I take a screen shot using my macbook, there is no noticeable problem. However, the picture I took earlier today using my
    iPhone 5 can give you a picture of my current problem. I also had a bit of "ghosting image" even after shutting down the computer and rebooting. I took the machine to Apple today and they said since I am in my 13th month, I am out of luck. They told me that I need to get my whole screen replace ($280). I am really disappointed because I barely had this machine and took great care of it. Has anyone have this problem?

    With the initial LG Retina display, folks were seeing image retention. Thereafter it seems that Apple was replacing the screen with Samsung screens, which exhibited a yellow-ish tint. There haven't been many complaints of image retention or tinting on the Late 2013 models even though the screens may be LG or Samsung. It looks as if Apple finally got it just right.
    However, as I understand it, Apple is still using the older screens for replacement parts. The only thing that I can advise is to keep having the screen replaced until you get one that you can live with. The tinting in your photo is obvious and I know of no way to 'calibrate' a warm screen to get an acceptable white point.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro retina (2012) randomly shuts down, won't wake

    My Macbook Pro retina display mid 2012 with OS 10.9 has been acting more and more erratically. 
    When I close it to sleep, it often won't wake.  Space bar does nothing.  Sometimes after a minute the power button will wake it.  Other times one has to push the power button for over thirty seconds and then it will restart.  Also when leaving it to back up to a time capsule overnight it often will try to shut itself down.  I checked the power saver and automatic shut down panels and those are not set to do that.
    Any ideas or do I have to take it to the genius bar?

    Yes, especially if you are still under warranty or have AC.  Let Apple deal w/it.

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15 late 2013 won't turn on after being sleep

    I've been having the an issue with my macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 that I bought 2 weeks ago. After a long time of being slept when I try to turn it on, it won't. I press the power button several times and nothing happens, after a long time of trying then it turns on. and I get the message that the machine turn off because of an error but nothing else. I think that's not ok for such an expensive laptop. I had the first version of the macbook pro retina display and never had an issue like this even though I install a lot of apps from app store and third party apps also. I was running parallels with 3 microsoft windows os and never had an issue like this. In this case I haven't installed anything on my new macbook pro besides parallels and the windows seven os. So I don't know if I should take it to the apple store maybe they could change it for another one I don't know.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    sorry for my english

    Well I have this problem too, do you get a message saying 'an error has occured please press a button to restart' or something similar when you just brosing the internet or watching a movie.
    P.S I use safari and QT.
