GPU restart question on a 2013 13 inch Macbook Pro w/Retina Display

Hi, I was just searching online and there was no freezing or anything,  but then I see a little alert saying something about the graphics needing to be restarted and if I should send an error report.  I searched the reports the diagnostic reports and saw this
11/30/14 7:23:56.061 PM DumpGPURestart[1116]: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.crashreporter.writereport.gpuRestart
com.apple.message.signature: Kernel
com.apple.message.signature2: UNBUNDLED ||| kernel ((null))
com.apple.message.signature3: UNKNOWN
com.apple.message.result: noop
com.apple.message.summarize: YES
I was just curious as to what is this all about.  Is my GPU going bad?
The only thing graphic wise that I noticed that since upgrading to Yosemite,  when I restart the Macbook or power it on, when my Wacom Cintiq is connected to it, there's some flickering on the screen after I log in.  Its something I don't notice when I power up my Mac Mini with the Cintiq attached.

yyou may be right. I ran a diagnostic, there was no issues. I was looking online, and tthere seems to be issues with Retina Display MacBooks with discrete gpus in Yosemite, as it switches between graphics. Which would make sense with mine, since any issue I had happened since the switch.

  • 15 inch Macbook pro w/o retina display or 13 inch Macbook pro with retina display?

    Want to get a macbook for university. Going to be used primarily for work and casual use. Have a 32inch full hd tv to connect up to for watching movies etc, which is the better choice?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I recommend a non-Retina MacBook Pro unless you need the Retina display. MacBooks Pro with Retina display are very limited and you can't replace anything if you don't want to void warranty. Also, repairs are more expensive, so purchase AppleCare for your MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you need good GPU performance. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has got an Intel HD Graphics 4000 as the graphic card, and it's not supported in Adobe apps, for example. Also, apps that require GPU performance won't work properly.
    If you are not going to do any heavy task, the 13-inch MacBook Pro should work

    Apple does make these, but they are not sold everywhere.  Where are you located? 
    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so to find out whether you can buy a particular product you will need to contact stores directly yourself.  In the US you can sometimes get unusual keyboards by talking to an apple retail store and asking for a special order.

  • Possible to install a new SSD to a 13-inch macbook pro with retina display

    I just bought a 13-inch macbook pro with retina display last week from apple. I want to make this macbook a protable workstation, so I upgraded the RAM to 16G. I also purchased an Samsung 1T SSD 840 EVO, which is suggested from most of the web, but when I took my laptop apart, the macbook is using a different SSD call PICe SSD, which is much smaller than a normal SSD.
    Not sure if anyone has encountered the same issue? Is it possible to upgraded the SSD in this case or have to stuck with it?
    Thanks

    stevenwang480,
    your 840 EVO can’t be installed in place of your PCIe SSD. In theory, you could upgrade your MacBook Pro’s PCIe SSD with another PCIe SSD, but the availability of third-party PCIe SSDs is nearly (if not actually) zero at this time. In the interim, you could put your 840 EVO into an external enclosure.

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.
    Ciao.

  • Will there be a 13 inch Macbook pro with Retina Display? I need a new laptop

    I will need to buy a new laptop for school and since they have a new model for the 15 inch laptop, I was wondering whether theywil update the 13 inch model as well.

    I lament it is against the TOS on this site to speculate on unannounced Apple products. Not only could it be a wonderful market litmus test for Apple to utilize (for free) but what better online board exists to let the company we pay a premium to be a part of know what we as the consumers would like to see next?

  • What is best non-apple display for 15 inch macbook pro with retina display?

    I am looking for a good and reasonably priced monitor to use with my MBP retina.  I prefer one that rotates 90 degrees for portrait viewing. Any suggestions?
    What adapter is needed to get good quality?  Is the dual link adapter worth $100?  Is it very much clearer than DVI?  How does the HDMI connection compare?  I've heard that HDMI only works as an external display in clamshell mode (computer closed).  Does HDMI transmit sound and video or would I need two cords?
    Thanks for any help!

    The dual-link adapter is needed only for resolutions over 1920 x 1200.  It won't improve the picture of lower resolution displays.
    HDMI carries audio and video (up tp 1920 x 1200).
    DVI (single or dual-link) is video only.
    Mini DisplayPort (or DisplayPort with an adapter cable) is audio and video (up to 2560 x 1600).
    All will give the same picture quality.

  • 15-inch MacBook Pro w/ Retina Custom Build Delay

    On 11/25 I ordered a custom build 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display 2.6GHz and 1TB PCIe-based Flash Storage.
    Item still has not been shipped any idea as to the hold up? Is it the Flash storage?
    Be intereseted in hearing from others about their backorder situation.
    Thanks

    Thanks nbar, wish I could it was ordered as a lease through my company's supplier SHI and their 3rd party apple company, twice removed from me. SHI says they have no way of giving me the apple order number which I find hard to believe. All the other apple accessories have arrived.

  • 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:

  • Which MacBook Pro with retina display ( 13 inch or 15 inch ? )

    I can't decide which MacBook with retina display to buy. I'm switching to a Mac from a PC, but I am used to the Mac platform. So far I'm am thinking that, I will choose the 15 inch model, if apple would lower the price a lot at the upcoming event WWDC 2013. But I would consider buy the 13 inch if apple rises the processor speed, offer more ram, and ssd, while keeping the same price.
    The 15 inch MacBook offers:
    An extra 2 inches of screen space
    Much faster ( quad core vs dual core )
    The 13 inch MacBook provides
    A compact design
    Dual core
    13 inches
    $1000 less
    For full comparison visit:  http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    I will be useing this Mac for
    Ios application developing ( Xcode, ios simulator ),
    Home use
    Web searching
    Sometimes at school
    Utilities
    And other usual stuff.
    So overall,
    I won't be carrying this around much,
    I will do lots of web searching and app developing,
    And utilities and other usual stuff
    And a need for extra screen space for more room when I'm web searching and app developing.
    What do think? Also, would you reccomended any extra features ( extra ram, ssd, or a higher processor) for my needs.  This will be a great help, thank you. Ps. I have my fingers crossed for a new MacBook Pro lineup and WWDC 2013. I hope to see upgrades for the MacBook Pro with retina display, apple.

    Hi,
    I am a researcher so I store a lot of papers, data, and use numerical software. I have had a 17inch high spec macbook pro for over a year now. I find that apart from the large screen, it was unnecessary to get the high specs. This is why. Firstly, the hard drive is easy to replace and upgrade, apple charge a lot for their own ones. Secondly, the ram in my one was upgradable (which i didnt know when i bought it) and i since upgraded to 16gigs from 8 and its amazing. Thirdly, the newer macbook pros run hotter than the previous ones.
    The retina is overrated and the programs for retina need more memory and processing power, so what you find is that your hard drive will get taken over sooner, your mac will run hotter, and battery life lower.
    I would say to you, dont worry about the processor speed, the normal speed offered is perfect, more than that is not necessary unless you are running highly demanding apps, the mac will run hotter too. Dont bother getting a large hard drive in the macbook. Get a flash SSD drive, and buy a good portable 2tb HD, like a WD one, and use that to store as much of your work as possible. I believe apple started soldering their ram cards to the motherboard or something so that people cant upgrade. Check in advance and see if the macbook you want can be ram upgradable, then get a lower ram model and buy good 8gb ram cards to make 16gig. Very very easy to install them, took me about two minutes to do mine, it will be much cheaper.
    If I think of anything else i will post back. Dont forget to install GFX card status too and use integrated only when on battery, i get up to ten hours of battery life without wifi, around 8 with wifi.
    edit. I forgot to mention that if you buy your mac and try to open it you will void the warranty.

  • Run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012)?

    I'm looking to run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012). I don't want to use the actual laptop screen in this setup, I just want to use the two external monitors.
    My 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012) has the following ports on the side:
    FireWire 800 port (up to 800 Mbps)
    Two USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps)
    Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)
    I currently use the Thunderbolt port to one external monitor.
    My question is: Is it better to run the second monitor via USB 3, or FireWire (if that's even possible)? What would you recommend?

    See -> http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/digital_me/.
    Good and simple way to get two monitors from one Thunderbolt port.
