Display getting wholes in rMBP Mid 2014
My macbook pro retina 13" 2014 model has had something happen to the display, Basically I was at school, going between classes and noticed in my last class 6 dead looking pixels. Upon closer inspection I noticed that they are actually punctured wholes in the display. Behind them is a little dot. When I got home I instantly reported this to apple support and I asked if this is covered by warranty, He said Yes it is covered then gave me a number to call, But they we're closed on the day of report. So the next day I took the computer back to school to find that there were now 20+ of these all over the screen. I called the number to look at it getting fixed I asked if it would be covered again, just to make sure. The guy said "Depending on what the problem is" Well, I have done nothing to cause this. Its like the pixel has exploded and broken the display in some way, but it has kept happening. These wholes are very small, but they draw my eyes to them so im getting it sent in so it won't happen again. The problem is will this be covered? Because I paid $1,650 NZD for this and it shouldn't be happening under 3 months after purchase. Ive been told they remove the whole lid making it cost over $800, so I would not be able to pay for this and its likely to keep happening.
There's a 95% chance that this has nothing to do with you using it, but Apple can't testify it's their fault if they haven't seen the device yet. Bring it to an Apple Store or send it to them so that they can look it up. If the screen is indeed misbehaving, then they'll change it free of charge, and in the 5% chance that it's your fault, they'll be able to explain what you did to make this happen, so you'll fully understand the problem, and they will give you the choice to (pay for the) repair or not

Windows 8.1 on 13" rMBP Mid 2014 unusable. Slow, choppy audio/video
I've installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my new 13" rMBP Mid 2014 and it runs terribly slow. The mouse movement is choppy and I can't even listen to music, which is horrible. The computer often as if it's running at 100% capacity - even though it's almost idle. If I click a link or press a button the audio track skips and does so randomly, too. On OSX it runs at least 10 times as well/flawless. I saw that some people said Retina laptops are slower with Windows because of the screen, but I'm not even using the Retina screen. I am on a external monitor with a disabled screen.
Check out this DPC Latency Report:
Troubleshooting attempts:
- I've checked if there's an update for the audio drivers available and just reinstalled the current one.
- I've reinstalled the newest Boot Camp Support Software.
- My OSX version (the one before Yosemite) is fully updated.
- I've disabled many devices in the device manager (network, audio, sound, etc) to see if it's a faulty driver, but couldn't find it.
Do you also have similar problems with Windows 8.1 on the newest MBP? What can I do to fix this?

Bootcamp Installation rMBP Mid 2014 Chaos
I am trying to install Bootcamp on my friends mid-2014 13" rMBP without success.
So far we have spent 2 nights and 6 hours working on this. I am convinced there are problems with Apple's Bootcamp Utility and/or firmware.
After successfully creating the USB installer drive, and partitioning the mac, we cannot boot from the USB drive.
I am an advanced user and have tried everything, including different ISO's, PRAM resets, booting from the CD with Superdrive, the whole deal.
What's disappointing is that I'm helping my mate out who is new to the Mac, he still occasionally needs Windows and this was a major feature that led him to switch. It doesn't make Apple look good. Obviously, from reading the forums, this is a common and well known issue with the last two generations of rMBP.
We are currently deployed overseas and don't have access to an Apple Store or genius.
I know these are user-forums, but I assume Apple does monitor these from time to time, they would be stupid not to.

Brand new 13" rMBP (mid-2014) doesn't wake from sleep after a few hours
Hi,
I have brand new, mostly untouched, 13" rMBP running Mavericks (10.9.4) that crashes during sleep. If I close the lid and leave it for more than a few hours, I have to do a force shut down by holding the power button for a few seconds and turn it back on again.
I've already followed the advice of this article: OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake and have called Apple Support, who did nothing but read the article to me.
I have:
- reset the System Management Controller
- restored all defaults in Energy Saver preferences
- booted into Safe Mode to verify disk (unsure of whether or not this was effective at all)
In my Console, I am getting a line that says "com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure"
According to this other thread - MB can't wake up from sleep anymore - it seems like it might be a hardware failure. Can anyone confirm this and/or advise on possible next steps?
Thanks.If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

RMBP Mid 2014 Windows 7 installer can't create partitions
Hi all,
I have a late 2014 Retina Macbook Pro with 1TB SSD and Intel Iris Graphics (no nVidia). It has been updated to Yosemite 10.10.2.
So for I had good luck installing Windows 8.1 Professional on it via the bootcamp assistant from a USB key. Unfortunately, due to work requirements, I need Windows 7 (compatible VPN clients and proprietary software at a customer). Windows 7 Professional SP1 however won't cooperate. For the record, I off course removed Windows 8.1 first again via BCA.
First problem was that the 16GB Lexar Jumpdrive I used to install Win 8.1 didn't want to boot when it was created by BCA for Windows 7. Even when holding the Option key at boot, it didn't even show in the boot options. Very weird. This was quickly solved by using an 8GB Kingston Datatraveller stick instead which boots fine.
The BCA does all its stuff correctly then but when booting into Windows 7 and starting the install, the Windows installer first complains it must format the bootcamp partition as NTFS. If I then do that, the installer complains it can't create additional partitions.
OK so let's format it to NTFS. Gone is the BOOTCAMP label.
But Windows refuses to install anyway.
I do not have any additional USB drives inserted, nor is there a Superdrive present. Apple support page said to remove any Thunderbolt devices but there are none.
I have looked for similar threads but the reports there are about the fusion drives in the new 5K iMac and Windows 8.1.
So far I have also tried to format the bootcamp partition as ExFat as suggested in other threads but this makes the Windows 7 installer complain it needs additional drivers for CD/DVD and refuses to install.
This is what I see when I hold the Option key during startup when BCA has created the partition and the USB install drive is inserted:
So I'm kind of out of options. Any help or hint would be appreciated!So this is quite embarrassing. I had already deleted the Windows 7 partition via BCA so to answer your question Loner T, I started BCA again. Unticked create USB installer and download support software and only let it create the Windows 7 partition again. The only difference with last time: I choose 149GB instead of 102GB (thanks to the bloody difficult slider in the BCA).
After bootup of the USB key the install went fine and now I'm looking at a running Windows 7 on my rMBP
Problem is: I have no idea how I solved it. What I did before I posted my question:
- Partition size was 102GB vs 149GB now
- The previous BOOTCAMP partition was erased and reformatted by DiskUtility in ExFat
- It was then removed by BCA
Could this have reset the out of sync MBR vs GPT?
Anyway, it works. Here's the output of the commands:

13" rMBP (Mid 2014) Freezing/Crashing with Yosemite
I've been having these issues non-stop since this morning - I thought I had the problem fixed but things have become a lot worse!
Here are the steps that (caused?) the issue - and what I've done about it so far:
Woke up this morning and used MBP for about 15 minutes, closed lid and took to work.
On arrival at work - screen completely dark on wake - could hear volume keys beeping - tried multiple restarts - no joy.
After ~1 hour of restarting/trying safe mode and external monitor, the computer suddenly starts working (with external monitor only - no primary display detected in settings) - I decide not to push my luck and use it as a headless computer for the rest of the workday.
I restart the computer at the end of the day and notice the primary display is now showing windows - but the screen backlight is completely dark and non-responsive.
I reset the NVRAM - computer now boots fine into Yosemite. Screen is back on and bright.
Computer now crashes ~every 5 minutes. Completely freezes, even in safe mode. Have tried resetting NVRAM (and fixing permission in safe mode). Sometimes the computers mouse and keyboard even freeze on the black boot screen, or even as I'm typing my login password. I have not been able to use the laptop for longer than 5 minutes straight.
Has anyone else had these issues? They seem to be delightfully random at the moment - am unsure why the screen problem started, or disappeared as suddenly only to be replaced by a much nastier problem...On an older 13" 2012 MBP with Intel HD4K. (and an SSD - if there are no paging/swapping issues otherwise), it shows
-
Last week, bought mid-2014 base model rMPB 13.3. Display was warm yellowish with greenish tint. Compared with store models, which all had cool blue. Replacement had same issue, so I asked for refund. Display looked worse than my late 2010 base model 13" MBA. Want to stay with Apple, but am concerned that all, if not most, of the mid-2014s have this defect. Can anyone corroborate?
Anybody???

Mid 2014 13" rMBP - Image Persistence
Good Morning,
Last night I came across an image persistence issue that seems to plague most rMBP users that have been supplied with an LG Panel.
I'd like to confirm that this issue is still present in Apple's most recent iteration of the Macbook Pro (Mid 2014). I purchased this 13" rMBP just under a month ago, I was hoping to improve my productivity with this purchase only to find it has hindered it further. I work with illustrator and photoshop, sometimes both at the same time. I've noticed switching between applications that there seems to be a faint silhouette of the illustrator window. When I first noticed this issue I told myself "There's no way that's burn-in, this is clearly not a plasma display and it's 2014" After a prompt restart, the faint silhouette was still there and all I could feel was frustration and complete regret after making such an expensive purchase. The feeling I had at the Apple store was similar to when I purchased my Canon 5D, you save up all this money and expect a premium product. Only this time around, I'm not quite as joyful about my purchase. The faint silhouette overlays my photos, and can be a problematic during post production. Although the silhouette may only be visible for minutes at a time before it completely disappears, this has caused me to walk away from my Mac. Which is something I have been trying to avoid, and it was working until last night.
My question is, has LG made any changes to their most recent production of Retina displays?
Do 13" rMBPs come with Samsung displays?
What are my options outside of the 14-day return window?
I'd like to avoid repair, one time I brought in my iPad and the genius was practically sliding and dropping my iPad on the genius bar. I know that Apple tries to set the bar when it comes to personal computing, and in some cases customer service. So, is it wrong of me to expect quality from a premium manufacturer?
Thank you.No, I did not misread, it died in 4 hours and 20 mins.
That sounds better. You confused me with:
...only 4:49 minutes remaining.
My science-major mind saw that as 4 minutes 49 seconds.
Still, you should get more runtime. Here is another Apple article that helps with battery life and heating issues:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity - Apple Support
The article was written before OS 10.9 and 10.10, so you need to make a change in Step 3 for 10.10. To make the required change from "My Processes" to All Processes," you now need to use Activity Monitor's "View" menu:
Another thing that is not clear in the article is that you will not get good results if you run the test immediately after a restart. Use the computer normally for about a day so that any runaway processes are activated, quit any apps you launched, then run the test. -
Black boot screen and startup manager on mid 2014 rMBP after upgrading to Yosemite
After upgrading to Yosemite I'm experiencing black booting process. Moreover, I noticed that the startup manager, which we access by holding the option key, has the black background too. I didn't like the Yosemite, so I downgraded back to Mavericks, but I still have the startup manager with the black background and the initial screen during the startup sound is black too, and after that the grey screen with the Apple logo comes up, which is typical for Mavericks. I want my startup manager to have the grey background as before. And also, before there was the grey screen during the startup sound, not the black one. How to revert all this to the previous state? I'm experiencing all this on my rMBP, 13-inch, mid-2014.
I want to revert because after downgrading back to Mavericks my rMBP started freezing terribly, especially on youtube, ebay and app store. And it's not just the web browsing, it's freezing when navigating in finder too. I know there are many experienced users here, so I hope that somebody can help me with this. Before upgrading to Yosemite my machine was running flawlessly.nobody?

How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro?
How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro? Or am I SOL?
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz

SMC Version (system): 1.57f18You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV -
Is it applicable to run windows 8 on macbook pro, 13" retina display, mid 2014?
I wanna bootcamb windows 8 on a macbook pro 13" retina display mid 2014.
is it possible, specially that my drive is 128 GB only? does windows properly working?Hi ..
It is, but be aware, Windows 8 requires approximately 16GB's of storage space and you would have to partitition the hard drive.
Strongly recommend reading the entire Boot Camp user guide before proceeding > Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp
You will need to purchase a Windows install disc.
Alternatively, check out VMware as well as Parallels -
whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?
I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!! -

Mid 2014 15" Retina Macbook Pro Bootcamp Windows 8.1
Okay, so this is part question and part rant.
The question part: Has anyone successfully installed windows 8.1 in bootcamp on a mid2014 Macbook pro?
The rant part:
This new macbook is awesome. Everything is great. Except that apple needs to get their $h1t together on this bootcamp crap. I am an engineer. It is a sad world that we live in, and there is little I can do to change it, but as of right now, Microshaft owns the corporate world. Software for engineering is developed for winblows. Hopefully that will someday change, but for now I have to put up with it.
I purchased this brand new macbook with the understanding that I would have to install winblows on it, and with the understanding that I would spend about half of my time there. This is not choice, it is necessity. When I purchased this computer I did so because I was reassured that windows would run well in a dual boot.
5 hours of my time has been wasted trying to make that a reality. Currently, I am sitting here watching my mac reinstall Mavericks after being forced to wipe the entire drive due to incompatibility bullpoop.
So far I have tried:
Letting bootcamp do it's thing. This resulted in a near perfect installation, followed by a notification that the boot configuration could not be updated. great.
booting again and trying to format the partition with winblows. Winblows cannot install because of the GPT setup.
delete partition leaving blank space, boot in efi, and then allow windows to make the partition. This resulted in windows making 2 partitions (so far so good) and getting all the way to the end before letting me know that I am right back to trial 1 and it cannot update the boot configuration.
So I go into mac to delete these two partitions. The main one deletes, and the little one wont.
So i go into recovery. Still cannot delete partition.
I was forced to TOTALLY wipe the drive, and I am not sitting here looking at a screen telling me that in 4 hours the mac will have downloaded and installed Mavericks, and I will hopefully be back where I started a day ago. This is ridiculous.
So far I STILL do not have windows, and I am not really any closer. This is total and complete bologna, and I am about ready to return the macbook, and but a piece of $h1t winblows machine simply because it will ACTUALLY do what I HAVE to do. It would suck, because I prefer the Macbook, but if it flat out won't do what I need it to AND apple won't put enough effort into their compatibility software, I am going to be forced to make a compromise.
I send this faithfully from my Late 2008 13" Macbook running the new OS that I am not allowed to mention in this post without my post getting autodeleted.... Don't get me started on that... What is happening to apple? I want to love you guys, really I do!
Somebody help me please... If not with the computer, at least send me a cocktail.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), BootcampThis is probably late but I just finished installing Win 8.1 on my new Mid 2014 15" MBP. It still has a few quirks but it works. I just purchased my MBP and it is configured with 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD, 2.5Ghz CPU and the NVidia Graphic Controller. I am running the latest version of Yosemite. Here is how I was able to make it work:
1) I purchased an OEM Version of Windows 8.1 64bit Professional from Newegg.com. I needed an ISO in order to use bootcamp. For this I used my dedicated windows 7 machine and installed burnaware_free. This ripped an ISO from the Windows DVD. Some websites will say you can use the Microsoft Windows 7 USB Download tool. This tool will NOT work with an OEM DVD of Windows 8.1. I tried it 3 times and all times it barfed and told me the tool could not be used on my version of windows.
2) I used a 16gb Flash drive and plugged it into my MBP and started the bootcamp utility. (I used a 16Gb drive as I did read on a few web sites that stated you needed a Flash drive this big. I'm not sure why as it does not fill it but perhaps with a 8Gb drive there is some temp files created that cause a problem) When it gives me options I let it download the bootcamp drivers and when asked, I pointed it to my Win8.1 ISO that I created earlier. (A side note, you MUST let the Apple bootcamp utility create the bootable USB drive. Foolish me used a standard windows utility to create a bootable Win8.1 drive. Went all the way through the download tools, repartition, etc. The MBP reboots and then pukes telling me the USB I inserted is not a bootable drive. It will boot on a windows box but not on the MBP. I have no idea why but I know this to be the case.)
3) Windows should boot on the apple created USB flash drive. It will walk you through the install. The first thing you need to do is format the partition that the apple bootcamp utility created. You will most likely be given 4 partitions to choose from. Pick the partition that matches in size the one you created on the OSX side and select to format that partition. Once formatted you can hit next and go forward.
4) Just a note.... if your eyes are as old/bad as mine, when Win 8.1 is installing it is not smart enough to know to scale objects and so displays everything in the native retina resolution. I literally needed a magnifying glass to check the serial number I typed in to be sure it was correct.
5) Let the install do it's thing and finish. When it completes and reboots, it will default to boot into windows. This is probably not bad, as if you are like me there is then a whole host of things to install and multiple reboots are required. Before I did a bunch of installs however, I wanted to test to make sure I could go back and fourth between the two OS's. Here is where things get interesting. On my install, once bootcamp was complete and windows 8.1 was installed, booting my MBP no longer gives the gray screen on boot. The screen is now black. At first this had me fooled into thinking something was wrong. When it reboots and you just see the very faint change in the black screen you need to hit the alt/opt button. Better yet, just have it shutdown and then hit the on button and hold the alt button next. You will now be given two drives to boot from, the OSX side and the Windows side. The recovery disk is no longer present.
6) I picked the OSX side and booted into Yosemite. Everything on the Yosemite side is mostly right. OSX sees the bootcamp drive. I use the Paragon utilities that allow me to R/W NTFS from OSX and R/W HFS from Windows. On the OSX side I can R/W the Bootcamp drive without an issue. It is curious, however, that if I go to the system configuration and select Startup Disk, my windows drive is not visible. I don't know the reason but it does not give me an option.
7) I reboot the MBP again and this time I go into windows. On the Windows side Win 8.1, for some reason, is not seeing the OSX drive. I can to into System Management tools and the partition is clearly there but at the desktop level there is no HFS drive. For what I do this is not a huge deal but it is curious as with my old MBP, Win7 and Mavericks everything was visible on both sides. If I go to the BootCamp Utilities and select Startup Drive, the utility on the windows side DOES see the OSX partition and gives me the choice to make OSX the default boot OS if I want or I can select Windows too.
So far everything works, sans the inability to see my OSX drives on the Windows side. I've not used Windows 8.1 yet and so now I'm quickly discovering what all of the fuss is about. I don't want to turn this into a Win8.1 rant but holy crap..... what did Redmond do? Anyway, I found enough copious threads on the web to get 8.1 almost looking like 7 so I'm happy. This was a major PITA however.
PS - One last note. All of this came about because my poor mid 2011 17" MBP finally started suffering the graphic adapter fail that so many have been seeing. Really torxs my chain as I really loved this trusty laptop. Sans the graphic card issue I should have been able to run it another 5 years at least but turned itself into an unreliable time bomb that I just can't trust. Its a real shame but it is what it is. The new 15" MBP are very nice, very fast and very well built but I miss my 17" screen for certain.
I hope this helps someone so they don't have to go through the pain I did.
