TS2917 Macbook pro retina leather case with magnets

I've bought a new expensive leather case for my new macbook pro retina display. I've had my macbook accidentally fall asleep 3 or 4 times already.
So, does it mean that I have to throw away that case? Or is it okay to keep using it unless I'm keeping it away when i turn on my macbook? What would you recommend to do?

Don't use it. Magnet will have an effect on sleep function.

  • Login screen on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault is extremely slow (suttering)

    Hi
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault on OS X Mavericks. When I boot up the mac freshly it takes quite long to get to the initial login screen (which as I understand is a pre-boot login provided by the recovery partition if File Vault is enabled). However, what is even more bothering me is that once I get to this screen, the whole UI is behaving extremely slow. The mouse makes jumps of a few inches on the screen and the animations (e.g. if you click a user and then an animation shows the password entry field) are running in slow motion and only update every few seconds. Typing the password afterwards runs smothly again (altought for example moving the mouse at this point still behaves as described before). After loggin in to the account OS X runs fine without any hicks. Can anyone give me a hit what this could be and how I could resolve this?
    This has already been done:
    Reset PRAM
    Boot into recovery partition and run repaired disk and disk permissions
    Run all OS X maintenance operations and cleared caches using OnyX
    What I could imagine is that somehow the recovery partition is damaged (which as I understand is used to boot to the login screen if File Vault is enabled).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just ordered a Retina MacBook Pro11,2 (mid-2014 15", 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OSX 10.9.4 Pre-installed - Build 13E28)  and have the exact same issue.  The first thing I did when i booted it for the first time was enable FileValut2 and encrypt the disk.  Though I failed to notice this behavior prior to encrypting the disk, the stuttering/lag happens without fail every time I have logged in from a cold boot, locked screen or sleep. Additionally I have noticed the same stuttering behavior when switching tabs on various built-in OSX applications such as the tabs on the About This Mac > More Info.... (System Information) dialog for example, and similarly other dialogs that experience this behavior of resizing when switching tabs. I was running no other software than About This Mac > More Info ... (System Information) and OSX 10.9.4 itself.  The issue happens without fail with and without a USB mouse plugged in.
    I am really glad to have found this thread and with such recent posts.  I'd love to find out that this is just a software bug that will be fixed when OSX 10.10 "Yosemite" is released.  If not, I hope the cause of this bug is determined soon so I can still exchange or have it repaired.
    Migflono and Matthew, would you be able to post your hardware specs for comparison? 

  • Best preference settings for MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 with 2.7 Ghz Core i7 processor 16GB memory Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024MB processor

    (using latest AE CC2014)
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 with 2.7 Ghz Core i7 processor 16GB memory Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024MB processor, doing some heavy AE renderings and just realized that this machine says it has 8 Cores? I'm had not yet turned on Multprocessing in Preferences Should I be?
    Should I leave 1 or 2 cores for other applications?
    RAM allocation per background CPU is defaulted set to 3GB
    Also for Adobe Media Encoder: in preferences under Video Rendering /Rendere it is set at Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) is that the best config for this computer?

    How much ram?
    The best settings depend on what you are working on. Here are mine for a nearly identical system:
    It's usually best to keep memory blocks in 4GB blocks. If my workflow is more in other apps I'll switch out other apps to 8 gb if things start to slow down. Because of my usual project settings I keep MP turned off on this machine, but for some projects I'll turn it on. If you decide to experiment to MP then keep an eye on the Actual CPU's that will be used and make sure the numbers add up. Other applications and Actual Cores should add up the the total in your system.

  • Is it true that the new MacBook Pro retinas got issues with latency?

    I'm thinking of ordering the late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch, with 2.6 Ghz, 16GB RAM , 512SSD
    I'm gonna use it mainly for live keys sounds using mainstage, logic, omnisphere, ableton etc. After reading a forum, I found that the new macs are pretty bad with latency, is this gonna be a big problem...suggestions?

    We don't know. Anything you see on a rumor site like Apple Insider is just that - rumor. No one knows when new models will be released until Apple makes a public announcement. If you wish to base your decisions on the rumor mill then do so, but we cannot tell you whether they are valid or not.

  • Macbook Pro Retina not working with HDMI

    I have a Mac Book Pro Retina that will not work using the HDMI port. I have tried with two Monitors and difference cable and the issue happens on both. I connected one via a Display Port to VGA and it works fine.
    I'd like to use the HDMI port. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (Latest Version).
    I have tried deleting the pref panes as outlined in ofther links. Aslo reset pram without sucess.
    Is anyone using a Macbook Pro Retina with builtin HDMI port sucessfully with 10.8.4?
    If you are using HDMI with Display port let me know if I should get an adpater to test.

    Hi walkerheather,
    It sounds like you've already done most of the pertinent steps here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    I would recommend going through once and trying anything you may have missed in the section "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" and then follow these steps from the very bottom:
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
    Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
    Take care,

  • Macbook Pro Retina Hard Case

    Does anyone know of a good hard case for the Macbook Pro Retina Display?

  • Macbook Pro Retina Fan Speed with 3 vs 2 external displays

    Hello,
    When I'm in my home office, I often use my MacBook Pro Retina in Clamshell Mode (in a BookArc) with external displays.
    Originally, I used 2 external displays (2x 1920x1800), and the fan speed and temperature remained stable at the lowest end of the spectrum (around 2200rpm and 60°C). However, recently I decided to use all the ports available and plug in an extra monitor (1680x1050) for that extra screen real estate. I can tell you that having three external monitors really makes a difference to my productivity. However, just by adding this extra display, the fan speed boosts up to a minimum of 4500rpm and often goes up to around 6000rpm. The temperature is also high (I guess the fan speed is a symptom of this).
    I understand that the extra pixels in the 3rd monitor could definately tax the GPU more. However, I am suprised that the fan speed and GPU temperatures go so high, especially as all I am doing is moving around on a Preview PDF file, just from adding the extra monitor (especially with it's modest resolution).
    I guess my questions are:
    Is this expected behaviour for the rMBP?
    Is this going to damage my rMBP with extended use (say, a good 6-8 hours pretty much every day for the next few years)?
    Thanks very much,
    Richard

    I've managed to get the fan speed down to a reasonable, less audible level by using that old VRAM terminal command to enable me to keep the internal display disabled whilst the lid is open. I've had to shift quite a lot round on my desk to make this happen, but I guess it was the only way. It now runs 3 screens under similar loads at approximately 3500prm.
    Taking your advice into consideration, I raised the rear feet and this enabled further decrease in fan speed. I guess one of those laptop stands will augment this effect, and I will look into them.
    Anyway, thank you for your help!
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • Macbook Pro Retina's screen with a lot of issues (big vertical lines)

    I discovered recently that my MacBook Pro Retina have a lot of strange verticales lines on the screen.
    Not visible in current usage, but when I switch to dashboard and his black background sreen I can clearly see those issues.
    Anyone get this problem?
    Have to change my computer?

    I would certainly take it into an Apple Store and, if you can reproduce the problem for them, insist that it be fixed. If you're within your 14-day grace period, you can exchange your unit for another, no questions asked.

  • How to triple boot (MacOSX / Win7 / Linux) a MacBook Pro (Retina, late 2013) with Refind

    ok it's not a question, it's an howto.
    You do it at your own risk. No failure reported so far, but I'm not responsible for anything.
    If you try to multiboot your MacBook Pro (MBP hereafter) you may face a new complexity. With on partition, Bootcamp does a pretty amazing job installing windows. But when you want to partition your disk in your own way, Bootcamp may fail to install windows and another third OS. You may also want to have a share partition between your OSes, hence have multiple partitions. Most of this tuto should also work for Windows 8 and for other Macbooks.
    Problem 1 : Bootcamp does it with one partition that it divides in two and allow to setup Win7. Not all time though since some user reportidely have problems to get USB 3 support and the keyboard and mouse are non working during the install / setup phase.
    Problem 2 : Windows 7 is not able to install itself to a GPT partition and needs an Hybrid MBR. Bootcamp does this, but just for a Dual OS setup. So to make the magic happen in a multi OS environment, you'll have to do want bootcamp does, manually.
    Step 1 : Download the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant from Apple and flash it to a USB stick. (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433)
    Step 2 : Reboot, holding the option key (aka CMD, left of spacebar) down, to trigger the boot menu options. Start the usb drive with OS X recovery and enter the partition tool. Create 3 to 4 partitions, suiting your tastes. Just put windows partition first and I recommend to put the partition sharing data across OSes second, MacOS 3rd and Linux Last for example. MacOS and Linux are fine with pretty much every setup, Windows need the 1° usable partition.
    Step 3 : Migrate your Macos using the same tool (google it for details) or Reinstall MacOS from the recovery partition. (more about migration here, but there are better tuto on this)
    Step 4 : Start your MacOS and create a bootcamp USB stick with the bootcamp tool. You need an ISO from Win7 (or Win 8) and a drive of at least 4 GB. Bootcamp will most likely complain about the fact that it will not be able to install 7 due to the fact that you don't have only one partition, ignore and proceed to the Bootcamp USB stick setup.
    Step 5 : Adding the USB3 support to your Win7 installation. Plug your newly created Win7 USB stick to a computer running Windows. In the sources directory, copy the boot.vim on your disk drive and add the drivers that Bootcamp added to your USB stick, in the $WinPEDriver$ directory and follow these instructions to add them to your boot.vim image. Follow carefully every step, it does works. Add the drivers you feel like, commit and copy back your boot.vim image, patched, to your USB stick, in the sources directory.
    Step 6 : In your MacOSX, install the GPT fdisk partition tool. You just have to unzip the archive. Win7 is unable to install to a GPT disk, so you will have to create a (dirty) Hybrid MBR. From a terminal, launch GPT fdisk. Carefull here, the Win7 is most likely not the 1st but the 2nd or 3rd because there is an UEFI partition before. Just check before adding them if in doubt, by striking p. Then key in r then h then the number of the partitions you want to add to this hybrid MBR (the Win7 & the Shared one). Accept the type 07 for this partition and type y, n & finally w. (more details here for the fans)
    Step 7 : Reboot, keep the CMD key down to trigger the boot option menu. Reboot on the USB stick, install Win7. If it doesn't understand the partition made for it, format it, if needed, from the 7 installer, delete and recreate it.
    Step 8 : Install your favorite Linux distro with a USB stick generator. (see here & here). No complex part, except that Grub will most likely scratch your nice Hybrid MBR, rendering Win7 inaccessible. No problem, reboot in MacOS and redo step 6, this will revive your win7.
    Step 9 : It's cosmetic but keeping CMD key down to boot is not so practical. ReFind does it just great. Setup is super easy, just kick install.sh from a shell in MacOS. Fine tune decoration and some stuffs later on from the config file.
    Step 10 (optionnal) : You want it all, without switching between OSes? Having Windows app running within MacOS is easy, with most native hardware acceleration preserved, using Parallels desktop. It also works with a "simple" Bootcamp Windows setup.
    Enjoy your mighty triple boot MBP.

  • Is the MacBook Pro Retina Lock Bracket with wedge technology sold by matchlocks a good lock?

    I'm looking for a good cable lock option for my macbook pro 13 w/ retina display. Has anyone tried the wedge lock sold by maclocks?

    I have this problem on the lower third with Mavericks.  Sometimes the computer just stays black when I leave it on battery and it goes to sleep.  It won't wake up until I hold the power button down for a long time and it restarts.  If I close the lid, then reopen later I get the artifacts you show here, but only on the lower third.  I do not get them EVER if the computer isn't CLOSED to sleep.  Of course when walking from one room to another (think in terms of large hotel where this could be a 15 minute walk) I don't want to shut it off but I don't want to carry it open either.  THis is a problem.  I didn't have this problem before mavricks.  I'm on the original MBPr which I purchased Jan 2013.  Otherwise it's been flawless.  Just one dead pixel cluster and the battery life is gradually decreasing.

  • 15 inch macbook pro retina late 2013 with uneven LED backlighting

    Hi, I have a recently bought a 15 inch rMBP late 2013 model less than a month ago through the apple online store. Since day one, I have noticed a slight grey band of shadow about an inch thick running vertically from top of the screen to the bottom about 2/5 distance from the left. It is obvious when the screen is completely white such as during startup. It is less obvious when the brightness of the screen is turned up. It is not so obvious when viewing picture but I do notice it all the time especially when I do word processing where the background is white.
    Is my macbook pro screen defective? Can Apple replace it for me?
    Kindly englighten. Thank you.

    Make a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple store. If it is defective, it sounds as if the display itself (and not the GPU) is faulty. Either way, it would be a hardware issue. Apple will replace the necessary components free of charge under your one year limited warranty which comes with the machine.

  • Macbook pro retina quit working with external displays

    Just got a new external display, and can't get it to work with my MBP. I tried it via the mini display port and also via the HDMI connection. Then I tried to use my flatscreen tv just to test things out via HDMI and now that doesn't work either, I've done that quite a bit in the past. The only thing thats changed is I updated to Yosemite. I even tried different cables.
    Thoughts?
    Txs,
    Jeff

    When I unplug the cable from the mac, the monitor does display this message:
    "No Display Port Cable"
    So it does seem like the display knows that its connected to a mac, just nothing shows up. Don't get anything in System Prefs > Displays either.

  • Macbook pro retina, boots only with 5 gigs of ram free?

    I dont know how normal this is, but here goes.
    I have the 2.6 retina, 8 gig ram, 512 ssd. For some reason last night my mac got real laggy, so I decided to check out my ram usage. I downloaded this app called memory clean, and I was surprised at the free ram.
    Upon a fresh boot I only have like 5.90 gigs of ram free. And once I start browsing, I'll be reduced down to like 3 and it'll get a little sluggish.
    I wanted to know if this is considered normal? I reset pram and have the latest updates from the App Store is regard to the OS.

    Assuming that you have Mavericks installed as your OSX, memory pressure is the important criteria, not so much the amount.  Mavericks will actually try to use as much as is available.  If you see green, RAM usage is acceptable:

  • MST Support for MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - DisplayPort 1.2 - Will it ever happen? (with sources)

    So back in October, I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina (MBPr), fully loaded with top of the line specs.  I was soooo excited to have Thunderbolt 2 tech which Intel AND Apple describes as having DisplayPort 1.2a compatibility - which up to this point is unfortunately NOT the case.  The point of the information/questions and requests in this article is to engage a conversation about the issues of not having MST support after Apple falsely mislead their consumers to think otherwise - especially when it is clear the MBPr is capable.  Please read on...
    Apple advertises that the Thunderbolt 2 ports on BOTH the MBPr and the new Mac Pro (NMP) will have 4K Display support with the famed 20gb/sec Ports (DisplayPort 1.2 only requires a little above 17gb/sec).  Now that the 10.9.1 update has been released, we have failed to see MST or Multi-Stream Transport enabled on the MBPr Late 2013.  Now, as for the New Mac Pro- it DOES have MST enabled in 10.9.1 with the AMD GPUs.  For all of you out there that's questioning what this means, short answer is basically the Mac Pro will be able to power a 4K Monitor at 60Hz through the Thunderbolt 2 Port but the New MBPr is stuck with only HDMI 1.4 support which tops out at 4K 30Hz. 30Hz is unacceptable for anything but movies or a photo slideshow.  At 30Hz the cursor will jump across the screen, eliminating any of the benefits of 4K.
    BUT it gets worse...
    Apple can be seen advertising that the new MBPr 15" model can power a 4K monitor THROUGH the Thunderbolt 2 Port here: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt - This article quotes the following:
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Does this not let the consumer assume that the newest MBPr will be able to drive a 4K display through the Thunderbolt 2 Port?  I would say yes it does, but at the time I wrote this, the TB2 Ports can't power a 4K display because, as previously stated, MST is disabled in Mavericks for the 15" MBPr Late 2013.
    NOW, later on Apple posted the following article on 4K support here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    4K support on the MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013)
    MacBook Pro supports 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs at the following resolutions and refresh rates with the built-in HDMI port:
    3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
    4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
    In the article above the New Mac Pro is listed as having support for a 4K Display with the Thunderbolt 2 Port (or MST DisplayPort 1.2a Technology) at 60Hz with no problem.  This leads myself and many others to believe that MST will NEVER be enabled on the newest MacBook Pro Retina with Nvidia GPUs. Yes, 4K IS supported but ONLY through the HDMI 1.4 port, which has the limitation of only 30hz.  This two-faced advertising is extremely upsetting to a LOT of people, including myself.
    Interestingly enough, THIS IS NOT a hardware issue.  If one ventures into Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp and connects a 4K Display via the Thunderbolt 2 (or through DP1.2) Port, the Display registers at 60Hz, thus proving that the Thundberbolt 2 Hub Controller is completely capable of MST DisplayPort functionality.  Clearly this a driver issue with Apple, Nvidia or Intel or any combination.  What Apple has done here is forcing any professional that desires stable and clear 4K technology through their MacBook Pro Retina to do so only using Windows 8.1 on their own machines!  Definitely an oxymoron if you ask me...
    Later on when the Mac Pro was ready for ordering, Apple placed the Sharp PN-K321 as a compatible option for a 4K Display.  On the Store page featuring the (over three thousand dollar) Sharp 4K display, located here http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321-4k-ultra-hd-led-mon itor?fnode=53 Apple states the following:
    "Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013)."
    All of that being said, and I'm terribly sorry for my wordy ranting...
    This brings me to a final two requests to ANYONE reading this post:
    a) Has anyone working with the new 10.9.2 Beta Update seen evidence that DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities will be enabled for the new MacBook Pro Retina (Nvidia 750M) with the promised "Graphics Driver Updates" within the next Mavericks update?
    and
    b) To others that purchased or were/are thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro Retina with TB2 Ports: If you are just as upset as me about this crushing blow to consumers that just purchased a $3,000 laptop that were promised something that wasn't delivered - I urge you please, write to Apple and let them know they are making a mistake.  You can do this though the support page or through http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Thank you for your precious time, and if anyone has anything to contribute to this issue, please jump in....

    GOOD NEWS!
    The Mavericks 10.9.3 update adds official support for Thunderbolt 2, 4K!
    I'm not sure if you will be able to daisy chain anything to the 4K display.  I've read that the design of Thunderbolt 2 includes support for DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream (MST), which allows this type of daisy chaining with 4K, but we don't know if Apple has this supported on it's machines.  Apparently it's been buggy in development because the graphics driver needs to work correctly with the Thunderbolt 2 host controller.  I'm sure they will work it out if they haven't already.
    The above is all via found information on this topic, but you can follow some more discussion here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1713876
    One more note on Thunderbolt worth sharing: always keep your fastest peripherals closer to the computer in the chain. If you have a TB1 device directly connected to the computer, anything further down the chain will be limited to TB1 speed/capability regardless of it's native speed.  Always connect TB2 devices first, and save anything TB1 for the end of the chain.
