OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 installer is available in the App Store but it can't be downloaded because "OS X Mavericks can't be installed on this computer".
If the installer of version 10.9 is already in the application folder it can't be updated for the same reason.
I've seen that they are two versions of the updater that are downloadable from apple's website and one is specific for the MacBook Pro retina late 2013.
I suspect that the installer in the App Store is not an universal installer. It is stupid because you can't reinstall that Mac is needed.
I phoned to Apple (AppleCare) and they don't know why this happens.
Hello,
Try to boot the 15" MBPr as target when connected to your MBA (if you have the right cables and adapters).
From the MBA, install on the 15" MBPr's disk, in that order :
The 10.9.1 update for Mavericks except MBPr
Download
and then the 10.9.1 update for Mavericks specific for MBPr
Download
The MBPr should be bootable again. I did it for an external HD.
Hope this helps.
Best,
ÉrIC Miclo

HT201364 why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?
why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro already comes with OS X Mavericks. However, if you try to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you will get a message telling you that your MacBook Pro is not compatible, when it is.
This is caused because the Late 2013 MacBook Pro is running a special OS X Mavericks version which is different than the version available in the Mac App Store. This makes that you get an error message when you try to download OS X Mavericks even when you are using it.
Instead of downloading OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you can still download OS X Mavericks to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your MacBook Pro uses the same version as all other Macs -

MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 Compatibility issue with Bose Companion 5 USB Speakers on Mavericks
Hi, I wonder if somebody has compatibility issues of new MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) and Bose Companion 5 USB speakers? They work fine on a left USB port on my MacBook Pro, but doesn't work at all on a right one: USB speakers are not recognised or if recognised as "Uknown Audio Device", they doesn't work any way and iTunes stops playing till I take USB cable out.
I tested them already on two identical machines - the same issue: left USB port works fine, right one - not.
While comparing, I tested this audio device also with other MacBooks:
MacBook Pro 15" 2008 (Mavericks) - both USB ports work fine
MacBook 13" 2010 (Mountain Lion) - both USB ports work fine
MacBook Pro 13" Retina early 2013 (Mavericks) - both USB ports work fine
So it is somehow related exactly to the MacBook Pro Retina 15" Retina late 2013 with Maverics. I guess some sound card and USB port communication issue. Does any body exeriences such problems as well?Hi,
Im having USB problems with storage devices and android phone connections
Thanks -
Mavericks 10.9.1 error recovery HD (MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013)
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 (late 2013)
I want to reinstall mavericks on this computer but I cannot. Each time I log in recovery HD, a stop sign appear and then my computer shut down. Anybody can help how to get my recovery back? My computer is now 10.9.1 but I notice that my recovery HD is 10.9.0.
Please help me! Any suggestion is appreciated.I've had the same issue. The solution given by Linc and many others don't work on MBP Retina models. Apparently, Apple did something so that these newer models would not proceed with bootdisks. The only way to reinstall Mavericks is to go through Internet Recovery. That's why Apply emphasizes it so much in their support page and the recovery screen.
That's my theory through my trials and errors. Don't take my word for it. -
Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?You're definitely not the only one. I have the same issue. I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked. They finally sent me a replacement laptop. I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying. I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
My router is a Linksys E2000. I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there. -
Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files
Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!
Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files. Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp). -

I have a lot of famiily pictures and some word files I want to transfer - nothing heavy. it is a screen/hardware issue not someting I can boot c in safe mode - still can''t see the screen and can't see to use a zip drive - I will need to use my new macbook pro 15 retinal display 2013 screen to "see" the files on the pc.
ideas?
Thanks

usb to usb does not work nor does the tornado device - that is - so far - just pc to pc.FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

(with the added advantage that since you ain't booting anything off the drive, can turn the Mac on or off at will without risking data corruption on the drive) -

How can I use SDXC on MacBook Pro Retina and Bootcamp?
I bought a Patriot LX Series 128GB SDXC card recently for my MacBook Pro Retina. When I insert it on Mac, it is recognized no problem. In Windows 8 (on Boot Camp), it scans indefinitely and often-time it crashes Windows Explorer, just to insert it. Has anyone had any issues with SDXC on Boot Camp? For me, it's just not working.
Lion tech Specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
But the latest Aperture requires 10.7.5 at least; I cannot find the TechSpecs for that system, if I remember correctly 64 bit processor was mandatory, same as for Mt. Lion.
One other thought - if both systems cannot be upgraded to the same OS, why not create a Snowleopard partition on the newer mac and have both machines run Aperture 3.2.4. This would require to restore the previous version of the Aperture library from backup, however. -

Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?
Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer. All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive. Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either. There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
