HELP. My Macbook Pro with retina display (late 2013) magsafe 2 charger won't charge.

I've tried everything i know of to fix this problem. My mac charger is connected to the mac and connected to a good outlet. i'm currently using the duck cable, and ive tried taking it off and giving it air. I've also tried with the default charge thing.
my charger is glowing a really dim green on one side instead of glowing on both sides. my mac battery is currently at 72%. the charger does not increase the battery charge neither lets it decrease. its stuck on 72% unless i take the charger off.
i've checked every magsafe troubleshoot thing and i've even done a SMC. NO RESULTS. someone please answer me.

The way you are using it now is just about ideal. Don't let it go below 40% if avoidable, but don't worry too much if you do.

Help! Macbook Pro with Retina Display!

Hi Apple community.
I hope you can help me. 1 year has passed with my Macbook Pro with Retina display (15-incher). Got a small but visible ghostning. All the uper dock is visible in darker background. I couldn't believe it until I discovered with a bit of code and Terminal App, that I had LG screen which many said had problems. I thought I had a Samsung one since I really took care of it and never seemed to notice anything, until now. My guarantee just went out and I didn't purchase any Apple Care because I never thought I needed it and as a Student, my budget didn't allow. It took me 3 months to achieve the amount required for payment for this laptop. What can I do, is there a way Apple could show sympathy and repair my Macbook Pro? I live in Sweden and currently study. All the necessary programs are in my Macbook Pro.
Please share some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Firstly, I'd like to know which will be the better base model as a notebook... if this is possible?
But, for info sake, I will be using it for composing on Sibelius Software, lots of word processing and browsing.
Small scale photo-editing.
Thanks,

MacBook Pro with Retina 13" Late 2013 thunderbolt port broken after 10.9.4 update

One of Thunderbolt Port (near USB port) was broken after 10.9.4 update.
I usually use mini Display Port to Display Port cable to connect my external screen, it works fine before 10.9.4 update. After 10.9.4 update, I tried to connect the external screen with the same cable, and the main screen of my MacBook Pro with Retina Display twinkling once so I'm sure the external screen was identified, but no video signal output.
I went to local Apple Premium Reseller (there is no Apple Store in Taiwan) and the they told me all of Thunderbolt Port was fine, they test with their own 10.9.2 copy and it seems ok. After that, I tried to re-install 10.9.4, downloading directly from Apple, the system re-install progress was complete but the Thunderbolt Port issue still there.
I connect to the broken Thunderbolt Port with Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter, and it works fine, so I believe the only problem is that there is no video signal output from the Thunderbolt Port (near USB port one).
What should I do now?
Model: MacBook Pro with Retina 13" Late 2013

I can confirm that problem, too: Im' working with a Dell U2713HM display, connected via display port. Since 10.9.4 Update i'm experiencing random black screens and/or display going to energy saving mode. Today i've had this issue twice: Display going black and after disconnecting the macbook von all cables screen of the macbook remaining black. Holding Power Button for about 10 s restarts the macbook. After 5 minutes the same problem appeared again.

Video in on Macbook Pro with retina display

I have a macbook pro with retina display, late 2013 model.
I would like to use my macbook for video in from my DSLR camera as a bigger screen for live view while recording videos, I can connect my DSLR to my TV but obviously my macbook would be better as its portable.
Is there any way to do this? I'm aware the HDMI input on my macbook is output only.

All but low-end DSLRs either come with software that can "tether" it to your Mac or offer model specific software as an extra-cost accessory. Read your camera's user manual.

Windows XP on macbook pro with retina display?

I am going to be helping a client with putting Windows XP on a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display later this week.
This client has two programs that are XP-specific, and MUST be run by booting XP fully and not virtually with Parallels or other options.
So we are going to be using bootcamp.
We have the XP install disc, and an external USB CD/DVD drive from Apple.
I've found postings online about people installing more recent flavors of Windows (Vista, 7, etc) on these machines
but I haven't found anything about Windows XP on the MBPro with retina display.
Anyone have any tips to share?
This should still be possible and not a big problem, right?
Yes, I know the resolution will likely be the biggest issue, but it should still install and run, yes?
Thank you for any helpful info anyone can provide.

First off there are no programs that are XP specific and no programs, that I know of or ever heard of, that can not run in XP in a virtual machine.
Most all programs that will run on XP will run on Win 7, unless they are older programs. Those older program that will run on XP and not on Vista or 7 will also run on Win 2000 or 98SE. So as stated before I don't know of any programs that will only run on XP and no other operating system.
A Virtual Machine is Just That, IE a set of Virtual hardware. The Operating system has No Idea it is running in a Virtual Machine on top of a Host operating system. They are completely separate except for the VM using some of the physical hadware in the host computer. Like the USB ports, the network interfaces and the CD/DVD drive. And the VM software is made to allow those devices to look like they are part of a Physical computer the VM OS is running on.
So I have not idea what these programs could be that would not run on/in a Virtual Machine with XP Installed.
Please let me know for future reference.
So your options are.
1) Install a Virtual Machine software program. VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox. Then install Win XP into a Virtual Machine.
2) Buy and older Windows computer that will run XP natively. It doesn't need to be that old, 3-4 years old will do as most all major PC manufacturers have XP drivers for their 3-4 year old computers and most if not all hardware manufacturers, Vid cards, Ethernet & WiFi cards, still list drivers for XP.

HT1338 When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

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:

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate Edition on a Late 2013 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. (Top Spec)

All,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition on my Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I am using the .iso file/USB stick method of installation because I don't have access to my original Windows 7 DVD. I have the top specification model with all of the max upgrades. The problem I am having is when I get to actual installation of the Windows 7 software, it can't find the drivers I need to complete the installation. Any tips or suggestions?

I thought about doing what you said above, but unfortunately, I didn't have any spare blank DVD's. However, I was able to sucessfully install Windows & on my Mac. What I did was when I got to the error message, I would cancel the installation and that would return me back to the install now window. At that point, I would take out the flash drive and put it into another USB port. It took a few times, but eventually it recognized the drivers and allowed me to install the software. Remember, once you get past that point, the installation will ask you to choose a drive to install Windows on. Highlight the Boot Camp drive and chose "advanced", and then chose "format" after that. After all of this, it should be smooth sailing.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

Unable to purchase HD movies on iTunes to watch on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

I tried to purchase HD movies on itunes but was presented with an error message saying 'This cannot be played in HD on this computer. If you buy the HD version, you will have to transfer it to an HD-compatible device in order to watch it. Or, you can buy the SD version and watch it on this computer.' but this was obviously not right because i'm using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 15" and it's resolution of 2880x1800 far exceeds the minimum screen resolution required for HD playback. Performance was not the cause either as this is an 2.6ghz quad core computer with 16GB of RAM. Any help on this matter? Thanks in advance.

Macbook Pro with retina display waking up

I have a Macbook Pro with retina display, and if it goes to sleep and I try to wake it a couple seconds later, the screen turns dark blue and I can only see the mouse. A couple seconds later it starts working and I can log in. This only happens if I wake it right after it goes to sleep. Help?

That reference code simply means that the test found no errors:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203747
It has been my observation that retina MBP run hotter that the prior generations. In spite of that I think that your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test the MBP. I think that peace of mind may important for you.
Ciao.
