I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.
Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

Anyone having issues with their MacBook Pro Retina losing network connections?
I have been having a problem in which my internet connection, which will be working normally prior to closing the Mac, will not reconnect after it's woken up. I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection. I noticed the most recent update for Mountain Lion also included some mention of a specific patch for Macbook Pro Retina's. Does anyone know of a documented issue?
Some recent updates from Apple might affect your problem, but I can't be sure. How long have you been having the problem?
I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection.
Don't confuse "Time Capsule", an Apple Wi-Fi base station, with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5. Your problem involves the former, not the latter. -
Hey guys,
So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
Thanks!Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com. -
Problems with screen macbook pro retina
Hi
I've got a bif big problem. When I started my computer theis morning, the welcoming apple logo was pink. It resumed to its normal self moments later. This is a problem with the graphic card i'm afraid.
I've never had any problem like this.
All I know is that yesterday evening I installed OSX 10.9.3. I did not start the computer again since then. This might also be the issue.
I noticed the update is about improving 4K display support on Mac Pro (Late 2013) and Macbook Pro with 15-inch Retina (Late 2013)
My macbook is an early 2013 model.
Anyone else noticed something wrong with the 10.9.3 update?
Help! I don't want to buy a new logic board! My computer is just over one year old and has just ran out of warrenty.I'm glad i'm not the only one to have this issue since 10.9.3!
You HAD the problem? Did you find a way round it?
I didn't do any clone of my mac before the update, i didn't know this udate would do such a mess!
I have on the other hand a Time machine backup, I think I will try Carbon Copy Cloner.
This software builds a "bootable" disk with your old backup, so you can just boot from it without necessarily restore from it. http://macintoshhowto.com/repair/back-up-computer.html
I've only got one question: What about the drivers (which seems to cause the problem)? Are they on the hard drive?
My graphic card is going berserk. The temperature is about 63°C! Normally it's down to about 40. -
I am having problems with my macbook pro
some documents on my macbook pro are frozen how so i get rid of them it still works but it wont let me log out or x out of the documents
I wanted to post an update on this problem for everyone's benefit. The screen went black due to a combination of a failed video card/mother board. As it turns out, the defective video card was a known problem, and Apple replaced the video card/mother board at no expense to me. They replaced this hardware in my late 2007 MacBook Pro. Please check with Apple; you might be eligible for this extended warranty. After the video card/mother board was replaced, the problem with the dock persisted. Turns out that I had a corrupted Dock file. Once the Dock file was deleted and replaced, all was well. Who said lightning never strikes twice in the same place... Please check to see if you are eligible for the hardware replacement - these parts cost about $1200.00.

Having problems with my Macbook Pro :(
My Macbook Pro is playing up, it keeps overheating then it informs me that it is overheating and shuts my mac off. This only occurs when using big applications like Final Cut Pro, I sent my Macbook Pro back to apple to get it exchanged for a new one. Does anyone out there have the same problem as me???? Please reply Thanks
I think that means your thermal sensor was not functioning correctly. I guess more than a few people have had the same issue and had to return their MBPs. Hopefully your new one will function correctly.

I'm having problems with My MacBook Pro ever since downloading the new OS..
I downloaded
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 a few weeks ago, and now I've noticed weird glitches. For instance, my WiFi is SUPER spotty (even though we have RoadRunner top speed), and then I am having these random, yellow QR code-looking things that pop up on my screen whenever I change webpages or open up a new page on my browser (Google Chrome). Any help?Well for one get rid of Chrome and use Safari. Chrome is not reliable with Lion and should be avoided. Safari and Firefox are the only two really reliable and effective browsers.
Secondly, reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -

hello i have been having some problems with my macbook pro. for some reason it takes a very long time to turn on and once it gets to the password login it doesnt let me type the password.. but after about an hour or so it lets me log in..
chrism15_15,
is Mac OS X 10.6.8 what you currently have installed on your MacBook Pro? Do you still have your two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? -
Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?
Yes, I too had this problem.
I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
Lightroom running 4.1
Hope that helps.

How do I fix a initializing problem with my macbook pro? I only get to the blank screen with the apple logo and the "processing something" sign... it just doesn't start the system....
Please help
MarceloIf there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
Most commonly used backup methods
Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

Help!
i had a problem with my macbook pro: on tuesday 16th (agoust, 2011) I went to a friend's house and show her some document i had in my computer, then i turned off my mac and it asked me: "there are some actualizations available, do you want to update before turn off?" i clicked on yes, waited for update and then the macbook turned off. When I got back home, I tried to turn it on again.... but nothing: it didn't sound baaaammmmm as allways, it didn't reacted. I tried again, but useless.
The next day i went to one of these "authorized management centers", but they coudn't say anything or do anything about it. First they told me the problem was the battery, then the hard disk, then the video card... but don't. I left my mac there by two weeks, hoping they could help me, but they didn't. So I picked it up and go to other place.
The rare thing is that i have just two years with my mac, and i didn't do anything stupid on it (didn't fall, get wet, microwave, hot, shocked, hit or anything) It just stopped working. Two times it turned on. But if not, it's the same story:
When i pushed the button to turn on, sounds like baaaaaammmm, but then again, and again, and again, and the screen doesn't get blue or anything, it appears a foder with a "?" and then the computer turns off...
Im wondering if this is a problem on this computers, because some of my friends told me things much like that that happened with their macbooks.
What's going on??? why this is happening?? cn you help me?This article may help: A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac.

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?
try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard) -
