EFI Update 1.2 on Late 2013 Macbook Pro...

Hello, I have the late 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro with the processor upgrade (2.6Ghz.). The model number of the system is Z0PU. I want to download and install the EFI 1.2 update found on this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1705
But when I go to install it, I get an error indicating that my Macbook Pro is not supported. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To check that you need that update, open  > Software Update. This is the best way to get firmware updates, because you will only see the ones that your MacBook needs.
In this case, it's clear that your MacBook does not need the update because 1) it was already installed, or 2) it is designed for a different Mac model. Do not worry about that.

How to install system on late 2013 macbook pro retina ?

Hmmm .... I need help.
I deployed a 10.9.1 from a new MBA image to the new 15" MBPr .... not a good idea. It won't boot because of the special build that the late 2013 requires.
So the original recovery HD is gone, so can't go that route. Now I need help badly. How to get the darn thing to bootup .... or how to start over ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your Late 2013 MacBook Pro comes with Internet Recovery, which can be used without needing a Recovery partition. To start up in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, and reinstall OS X. You will get OS X 10.9.1, and the Mavericks installer will create the OS X Recovery partition.
Your MacBook Pro requires a special OS X 10.9.1 build that is not available for any other Mac, and you cannot install the "normal" OS X 10.9.1 version on your MacBook Pro. Apple will fix this in a future update, when your MacBook Pro and all other Macs use the same OS X build.

Downgrade late 2013 Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion

Hello,
I've seen a few threads on this and the consensus seems to be that it can't/shouldn't be done. Some of us are in situations in corporate environments where we can't upgrade so please don't post here to tell me I can't/shouldn't downgrade. I started this thread in the hopes that with enough people working on it we can figure out a way to make it work.
I can get my 10.8.5 image to boot my late 2013 Macbook Pro by replacing /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist with a PlatformSupport.plist from the original 10.9 install. It seems stable however I don't get any sound. No input or output devices show up in System Information --> Audio --> devices. I've tried replacing AudioAUUC.kext and AppleHDA.kext with ones from a 10.9 machine but that doesn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the sound working?

Hello tor.support
Did you ever get a solutin for this?
I just spent £1700 on a new MBP to find my audio soundscard does not support Mavericks - normally not such a big deal as I work with computers and thought it would be a simple downgrade to Lion.
Really dont want to take the machine back to apple, but I cant wait for Zoom (audio manufacturer) to get their software updated. It's been 8 months. I need a system that works.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Why can't Premiere CC Handle 1 adjustment layer on my late 2013 macbook pro?

I have a maxed out 15" late 2013 macbook pro with 16GB ram and the NVIDIA GT 750M graphics card + Intel Iris Pro.
I'm editing DSLR footage. When I make an adjustment layer or add a simple color correction, or a LUT through the lumetri effect, the footage plays back at 2 frames per second unless I go through a very slow render every time I add a clip (regardless of whether I select the mercury playback engine in CUDA or OpenCL when creating the project)
I'm pretty sure my sequence settings are correct, I have 13GB of ram going to Premiere CC.
I know that my computer and the software should be faster than this. What am I doing wrong, and what settings do I have wrong? Very frustrating.
Also, no matter what settings I select for my sequences (even the straight up DSLR 1080p presets), when I add a clip in the timeline I have a yellow render bar on top. Shouldn't there be no colored bar if I'm just simply adding a clip with matching properties and sequence settings?
Tell me what I'm doing wrong, guys. Thanks for any advice you can spare.

Thank Ann,

EFI update for the mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I was wondering if Apple enabled the Lion Internet Recovery feature for the Mid-2010 MacBook Pros in the new round of EFI updates released yesterday. I know that they already did this for the 13-inch weeks ago but I wanted to make sure they expanded support for the 15" inch and 17" inch model. My doubt arises from the fact that the EFI update is for the Early 2010 MacBook Pros which would technically be a Summer 2009 model, rather than the actual mid-2010 model which is the one that I have.
Thanks for the clarification.

I would agree. Actually, I am contemplating this possibility if Lion keeps annoying me with a bug in Safari where it tires to sandbox the GPU and then, crashes the whole web browser and computer. This iisue keeps happening even with the newest version of Safari v5.1.3 and the last time I encountered this issue occurred in a clean install of Lion v10.7.3 while writing an email on my gmail. Honestly, even though I love Lion and its features; it does not measure up to Snow Leopard's pinnacle of stability and compatibility. Besides the freezing issues I have experienced I also had an issue where my Mac would hang at shutdown and hang with a gray pinwheel (although this issue occurred only if I used the Mac OS X v10.7.0 installer, it has not appeared when installing Lion via the 10.7.2 installer, I am not sure about if the issue resurfaced in the latest installer as I had a hung shutdown when Safari froze and tried to shutdown my Mac, ultimately showing the dreaded gray pinwheel). Let's see what my Mac is up to in the following weeks, so far everything looks Ok and in the multiple visits to the Apple Store I have run hardware diagnostics in my MacBook Pro and all of the gave a clean bill of health to my machine. I can't afford to have the 8th clean install of Lion, therefore the next time Lion fails I will revert to Snow Leopard in a heart beat.

Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input. I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching. I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio. But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone. Am I missing something? Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack?

Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15' will not boot an external disk from a Mid-2012 MAcbook Pro. What should I do?

In order to simplify moving all my files from the previous mid-2012 macbook pro 15' when moving to my new late-2013 macbook pro, i superdup-ed the full hard-disk to an external ssd. Unfortunatelly the new mac resuses to boot from this external disk (i get the grey disk with a line over it). The external disk works just fine so if I boot the new mac from its internal SSD I can read/write the external disk without problems.
Old OS X is 10.9 as is the OS on the new mac.
What I need to do is to boot the new mac from the external ssd, use the same superduper to copy the external content onto the internal ssd.
How can I solve this issue?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you made a backup of your files with SuperDuper, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your files from the external drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user account with the transferred files, so you may want to merge both user accounts > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro uses a special OS X Mavericks version which makes OS X compatible with it, and older OS X versions do not work with it. That's the reason why you cannot start up from the external drive created from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro!

Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro! I have had this printer a few months and everything has been working fine until today. I did I have to turn my wifi router on and off this morning, so I think that might be it. I'm not extremely tech savy, so if anyone could lend a hand, I would appreciate it!! I've tried unplugging it, turning it on and off again, quitting it my from laptop, nothing works. Do I need to reconnect it to the wifi? How do I do this? I turns on fine and doesn't give my any error messages, it'st just my laptop that says it isn't connected. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks for providing complete information. It seems like you've ruled out faulty docking cable, bad USB port, and software issue on the new Mac. And since the shuffle still works fine on the older Mac, it's not a problem on the shuffle.
Some things to try...
Connect the MacBook to its power adapter, so that it's not running the battery power. If any other USB devices are connected, try connecting the shuffle as the only device, to a direct USB port on the MacBook.
If you can keep it connected for long enough, go to the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes and set it to Enable disk use (and Apply). This will keep the shuffle's disk mounted continuously, instead of iTunes unmounting the shuffle's disk when not syncing.
If you happen to have an old USB 2.0 hub that has its own power supply, connect the shuffle through the hub to see if that make any difference. The new Macs have USB 3.0, so if that's the cause, maybe a USB 2.0 hub in between can act as a "buffer" and make it work.

I need a recommendation for a 24" monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro

I need a recommendation for a 24" professional photography monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am looking for a monitor that plays well with my 13" late 2013 Macbook pro. I tryed the Dell U2413 and found after the fact that it did not work well with my Macbook pro. Read up on the Asus PA 249Q, It also seems to have problems with my Macbook Pro. Apple display is larger than i want. Looking for recommendations for compatable IPS monitor for use with Aperture. buget is $300 to $800.
Anybody happy with thiers?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Aperture 3.5.1

Any monitor will work. Decide what specs work best for your needs and get that monitor.

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" Thunderbolt to DVI Connection to Samsung 24" - Static screen upon wakeup

Hi,
My Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retain 13" is connected to the Samsung 24" Samsung via Thunderbolt/DVI connector.
Upon wake up from sleep mode, the Samsung monitor displays a static screen.
Any idea what the cause maybe and how to fix it? - Right now I have to unplug and plug back the thunderbolt to fix the issue which I find annoying to do. Any better solution out there?
Thanks alot!

In a word, yes.
The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000.
The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300.
With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
On other applications your mileage may vary.
Application benchmarks:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
Graphics oriented benchmarks:
On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

Duel microphone holes on the late 2013 MacBook Pro 15"

Are you meant to be able to see the duel microphone holes on the late 2013 MacBook Pro 15"
It shows them on the tech specs on the apple site and most other places I've seen, but mine doesn't have the holes.
Is it also common that pages, numbers and keynote were not automatically installed when I bought it new?
When setting up the new macbook I got an email saying;
Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13"
However it is a 15"... Should I be worried? I bought this off the online store.

If you do what I said - "Go to the bottom of the page and click on the Mics button." you will see the description - "under the speaker grille"

Just got a new "late 2013" Macbook Pro Retina, want to install Windows! (Newbie!)

Hello everyone!
I am brand new to the Apple Community and would like to pick at some brains here!
I just recently bought a new "late 2013" Macbook Pro here and would like to run Microsoft OneNote on my macbook. I have 2 predictaments though!
1. Which Windows OS is recommended? I searched around and seem to have found that alot of people are having issues with the Windows 8.1 version. Should I just stick to Windows 7?
2. Also, I know that the Macbook Pro does not have an optical drive; what is the best way to go on about getting the Windows 7 ISO onto a thumbdrive? Would I have to do it through another computer and burn the ISO on the thumbdrive there? Or is there a way to purchase Windows from my Macbook and download from the sellers website and just run Bootcamp to burn the image onto there?
Thank you and I look forward to joining this community!
Don

I am new to the community as well but have been an apple genuis for a while. The way I put windows on my mac (late 2012 pro) last year was I bought windows 7, and used bootcamp to install it. I would have someone at best buy or a tech store do it for you though. If you dont want to pay $200 for windows 7, you can just buy an app called parallels (also at like a best buy) and use that. I believe it is around $75 but not sure. Hope this helps

Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Late 2013 MacBook Pro Casing Replacement

I've a late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina. I damaged the top casing and the display housing (chips). Where can I get them replaced?

Sorry to hear that. Apple can do it but it is going to be expensive (estimated to be around $300-$400). Another way, though not recommended, is to buy the part off eBay and have someone install it. The latter option is risky so I wouldn't do it but it is an option.
FYI, I really like their cases. Think about getting one of these once you replace the part.
