High Temps On rMBP (Early 2013)
Hello,
I have recently been concerned with the temperatures on my Macbook Pro Retina (Early 2013 15", 2.7Ghz i7, 16GB Ram, 500GB SSD). Temperatures at idle are averaging around 55 degrees Celsius. I am using iStat Menus and Temperature Gauge to determine the CPU temperature. Doing daily tasks like Safari, Mail, and iTunes gives me zero fan noise, but temperatures around 70 degrees celsius. Also while doing these tasks the CPU temperature will spike randomly to 95 degrees celsius and greater, sometimes to the 102-105 celsius range. Fan speed does not increase when these spikes occur. Temperature becomes a major issue when using programs such as Handbrake and other converters. While converting, temperatures stay around 97 degrees celsius. I know high temperatures are normal when doing such tasks, but I feel like this might be a little too high. When playing games such as Diablo 3, temperatures stay at a steady 98-105 degrees celsius. Those temperatures occur even when the fans are tuned to the highest using iStat Menus fan control feature. I have reset the SMC and had the same issues. I have not had any system crashes due to temperature, but these temperatures seem out of the norm with what most things I have read have said about rMBP temperature.
Are these temperatures too high and out of the norm? Should I bring the machine to an Apple Store? Am I just being paranoid? I could cook eggs and bacon on the aluminum when doing CPU intensive tasks with these temperatures.
Any and all help is appreciated!
P.S. The machine also has some pretty intense image retention. Using the image retention website (http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html), I can get retention within only 30 seconds of the test.

I got exactly the MacBook pro Retina couple of days go (Early 2013 15", 2.4Ghz i7, 8GB Ram, 256GB) with exactly the same problem...
impossible to keep it in my lap, and the only thing i did was to view 1080p Panasonic video as to check the quality of the retina display.
I am extremely frustrated, disappointed and it feels that I burned my money on the MBP, a total waste of money.
Going through the discussions in this site it is obvious that the problem has been known for a long time and seems that Apple does nothing to fix it (or is,indeed, extremely slow).
What is the point of having a "laptop type" Mac, which is a potential health hazard if it is placed on one's lap?

RMBP (Early 2013) BOTH Usb ports not functioning.
Hi Guys.
I have a Retina Macbook Pro 15" (Early 2013) with 10.10.2 Yosemite.
My left side USB port stopped working about 4 months ago so I've been relying on a hub and the right side USB port for awhile now. When I went to use my laptop this morning, the USB port wasn't functioning at all. I've plugged other USB devices into it and it's not being recognized at all. The devices work in other computers and there doesn't seem to be any damage to the USB port physically.
On the USB port that just stopped working, I had a USB 3.0 4 Port hub connected with a WD External HD, and a small USB Audio Interface.
I've already tried an SMC Reset, PRAM Reset, Repaired Disk and Disk Permissions. None of that worked.
I bought it about a year ago from a Best Buy and I got their 2 year plan. But before I go there, is there anything else it could be that I can do myself?
Thanks
JoeHi. You have done most of the things I would have said to try. In rare cases reinstalling the Operating system can fix the problem. I have one link of suggestions you could try. Other tan that taking it back to best buy seems the only option left. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reset-usb-ports-mac-laptops-51619.html

How Do I Install Windows 7 to Early 2013 Macbook Pro?
I need to own a windows pc or at least have windows 7 environment to work in for some college courses. I own Windows 7 Pro. Is there a way for me to install this onto my current my Macbook Pro Retina Early 2013 Release?
If So, How do I do this?
Can it be done to an extrernal 1TB Hard Drive that I can plug in and use only as needed?
Will I be able to install Microsoft Office 2010 to only the Windows SIde?
How do I do this?
Thanks Ahead of time.Limbic_Pastry wrote:

While it's possible to run Windows 7 or the Mac OS using Bootcamp, you can run Windows 7 and the Mac OS at the same time by creating a virtual machine (VM) using VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box. One advantage of a virtual machine is that you can put the VM file on an external drive so that the VM file size isn't limited to available space on your internal. Another is that you can back up that file and/or create snapshots of the state of Windows at any point in time and revert to that state in seconds if something (e.g., a virus infection) goes terribly wrong. I have such a setup running in a rMBP early 2013 myself and it's very fast. -

I installed 10.10.2 on January 28th. Since that time, I’ve been having this same problem, progressively more often:
While scrolling via two-finger trackpad swipe (always scrolling down), the computer freezes and completely locks up - no clock or pointer movement. If there is audio playing (iTunes), the audio acts like a scratched record and keeps blipping 1/2-second or so clips over and over. After about 30 seconds, the computer reboots itself. When it starts up, there is no crash report dialog that appears, nor is there a record of the crash in Console. Most of the time, the scrolling has been in Safari, but it has also happened while scrolling in Chrome, and in NewsBar (an RSS reader).
This behavior has been happening more frequently over the last week or so (at least a dozen times in the last week), which makes me concerned about a possible hardware issue.
I’ve:
Repaired Disk from recovery mode (no errors found)
Repaired Permissions from recovery mode
Queried the previous shutdown via Terminal (always -128)
Booted into Safe Mode (can't replicate there, but it happens at very random intervals, so I may not be in safe mode long enough)
Turned on and off other things people tried in various Apple threads
Disabled my two Safari Extensions
Run Apple Hardware Test (extended) (no errors)
Reset SMC
Reset PRAM/NVRAM
I back up several ways, so I’m not worried about losing my data. I have taken screenshots of the last few boots after panics, and I’ve run EtreCheck. I’ll post those details in a separate post below to keep this post shorter.Here’s an EtreCheck report:

Min 2012 2.7 retina pro or early 2013 2.7 retina pro?
If given the opportunity would you rather get the refurb mid 2012. 2.7 with 8mg l6 mackbook pro retina or pick up a new early 2013 MacBook Pro retina with 2.7 if they were the same price?
I ask because the geek bench scores for the mid 2012 are a little higher than the 2013 model. But then it's also refurb vs new,
ThanksThanks mende1,
I think i'm going to go with the Newer 2013 Macbook Pro. After looking at the differences in geekbench, it seems the new one outperformed the mid 2012 version in everything except CPU and that i'm guessing is because of the extra 2MB cache.
Also a few independent test i ran all did better on the newer one.
internal HD - read/write about 20-30mb/s faster than mid 2012 (436/456 vs 405/427)
Thunderbolt - Performance was about 10MB/s faster than mid 2012 (there may have been something wrong with the thunderbolt port independently)
CPU Temp - same up time/same programs running/ 1hr of same video playing - 2013 was running cooler by about 10-15*C
GPU Temp - same as CPU test - 2013 running cooler but only by 3*C
Fan speed - surpirsing was also actually lower on the 2013 (2100/2000 vs 2300/2100)
Battery life (nothing to really do with model) - but 2013 ran 45min longer from 100% charge it only has 6 cycles on it so far so should get better (vs. 14 on mid 2012)
I decided on the 2013 cause a, brand new, the other would've been a second time repaired refurbished machine. As fas as i can tell a flawless Samsung display, and better battery life consumption with the newer CPU. The battery on the mid 2012 was actually reading at 8860mAh where as this is only reading at 8670mAh not too much difference, but the drain from the i7-3820QM is causing a loss of about 40-45min battery life compaired to the i7-3720QM along with apparently i'm sure a few internal changes that may be playing a part.
in the end. I think for MY needs more as a hobbist photographer/3D Autocad user and mainly medical oriented computer use the early 2013 offers just a tad more of what i need the machine for and so will stick with this lucky deal. -
This is what worked for me to install 8.1 Pro on brand new rmbp late 2013 NO WORKAROUND
15 in rmbp, late 2013. Extrernal apple USB drive. USB key for bootcamp drivers. Brand new windows 8.1 pro full version from store. No Upgrade.
Used Bootcamp assistant to 1) save drivers to usb key 2) partition drive to two. Left usb key and drive connected.
Bootcamp assistant reboots mac, windows splash screen. Follow instructions including having to reformat the newly created partition which is usual. No bootcamp parttionn name is present but it should be obvious which is the OSX and Windows partition. Windows begins installing then fails. rmbP is stuck.
Restart nothing, just grey screen. Call apple care. Have to PRM, press on, hold command option P and R keys.Release when apple beep starts. Then it will boot back into OS-X
Boots into osx. Go to bootcamp assistant. Follow instructions and windows partition is removed to give a single OSX parttion. Reopen bootcamp assistant. Repartition. leave USB key and external drive attached. Restart and follow instructions as before. NO issues.
Note, the "almost ready" splash screen hangs for a long time.
Then bootcamp installer comes up. Build 5411.NVIDA driver installed etc. Auto resart after drivers installed. USB drive and key attached. WIndows splash screen. SUCCESSFULLY installed.
OI can also hold down option now on restart to sleect which OS to boot into . WORKS GREAT.
I suspect you have to do a PRM reset after first failure using bootcamp assistant to get it to install properly thereafter.
After I did this I was able to install fine using bootcamp installer in OS-X. No need for ANY work arounds.This process worked for me on a new Mac Pro (early 2014) to get Windows 8.1 (not 8.0) installed, although I did make one slight change to the process: instead of following your advice at the point: "Restart and follow instructions as before", I instead restarted and used the windows partitioner dialog to 1) delete the bootcamp partition, and 2) create a new partition that was slightly smaller than the remaining available space (by about 1GB). The installer said it might need to create an additional small partition (which it did). I continued with the rest of the install process as you describe above. (Yes, it did take a long time to get past the "almost ready" part.)
Thank you very much for your post! -
Memory leakage Macbook pro retina 15inch Early 2013
Hi,
This is my first posting to the Apple community, so please forgive me if have missed a previous posting on this subject.
I have an early 2013 15 inch MBPro retina running 8 gigs. My previous device was a MBpro 15 early 2008 4 gigs of ram. I never expected the 2013 with double the ram to be constantly dropping below 2 gigs with only FireFox and/or MS word running. The older 2008 device used only 2 gigs to run these programs. It appears that the 2013 model is using 6 gigs.
I took the 2013 15 inch MBpro retina to the Apple store for the Geniuses to run their diagnostics. They said my device was running normally. To prove such, they simultaneously opened Jim Carrey's web site 8 times and showed me that all of his the crazy stuff was working in each window. They said that it is normal for a SSD machine to run on low memory.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that when my memory drops when just using my normal Firefox based surfing, my track pad scrolling starts to get very sluggish until my "memory clean" kicks in at 1.6 gigs and brings the memory up to around 2.5 gigs. As I continue to surf, then the process repeats itself. I never expected my old 2008 device to use significantly less ram running light applications better than my new 2013 device.
I have seen others post an "EtreCheck" and hopefully by posting mine, somebody can find what the Apple Geniuses could not.
Thank you for your help!!

Early 2013 vs. Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro - which is better? Refurb or New?
Hi, I'm looking to get myself a new (or refurbished) MacBook Pro Retina.
And wondering which one to get (i.e. from the list below).
Brand New (Late-2013) - $2450 (after corporate discount):
CPU 2.3 Ghz (Haswell)
16GB RAM
512 GB SSD
Refurbished (Late-2013) - $2250:
CPU 2.3 Ghz (Haswell)
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
Refurbished (Early-2013) - $2200:
CPU 2.7Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
While it might be an obvious choice for some ppl - I'm a bit puzzled. Early-2013 can be with LG screen (which seems to have a lot of complains about).
Will Older-2.7Ghz vs. Newer-2.3Ghz be noticeable for an average user (not a Pro editor etc.)?
What is more important for average and normal (but multi-tasking) performance - is it CPU or RAM or SSD?
And does it make sense to pay $200 more for New vs. Refurbished?
Thanks in advance.Comparing Late-2013 15” rMBPs.
The 2.6 GHz model is 17% faster on GeekBench 2 benchmarks and has more RAM and so will run faster, but will this percentage be noticeable?
The extra RAM will matter if and when you run enough programs so they do not all fit in memory. For light duty processing that should happen rarely in 8 GB. Even if you run a memory-hungry program like PhotoShop, the extra RAM does not make much of a difference. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30 There are larger-memory programs where it would matter but those are not in the mix you have mentioned.
Again the GPU speeds will differ:
2.0 GHz model: Intel Iris Pro 5200 (2.0 GHz)
2.6 GHz model: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and Intel Iris Pro 5200
For graphics intensive applications the rendering speed differences will be noticeable.
On the applications you mentioned it willl be hard to tell the difference in speed on these two models. Thus you might as well get the one with the larger SSD. If you were to include graphics rendering programs then the 2.6 GHz model speed would be faster, but those are not in the mix of programs you mentioned.

MacBook Pro Retina early 2013?
I don't understand. Today update to the MacBook Pro line... is it a real update or just a price drop? The MacBooks retina sold from now on are going to be called MacBook Pro Retina early 2013 or not?
Just asking because I am waiting an update to buy the 15'' MacBook Retina.My current MBP is having trouble keeping up (it's 5 years old now), so I'm interested in the new 15" rMBP.
I understand it just got a faster CPU and a price drop, which is great, but I'm wondering if Apple will release a new designed model later this year? A late 2013 model so to speak. Would that be in June or at the end of the year?
Thanks,

Macbook Pro Retina 13' Early 2013 and 45W Charger
Hey all,
I need to buy a new charger for my MBP Retina 13' Early 2013 and I want to know if I can use a 45W Charger Magsafe 2.
Thanks to all !no you can not - it doesn't not have enough power to charge your battery.
stick with the 60 watt charger.
from apple's website below:
For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook.
Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer. The tables further down in this article show the style of connector that initially shipped with each model of MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air. -
GTX260-OC High Temps all of a sudden
My N260GTX-T2D896-OCv2 temperature is going up to 99C. I always had the fan speed set to 60% and before the temp wouldn't go past 65C. I cleaned whatever dust there was and tried again with same result. Now my fan speed is at 75% and the temp is holding at 74C. What's happening? Should I reinstall the nvidia drivers, maybe something is causing the reading to be inaccurate?
I checked the temp with msi afterburner(using this to increase fan speed), gpu-z, hwmonitor.
Thankshttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127409 I bought the card 2/22/09
This is what I'm doing.. I launch world of warcraft and sit on the login screen and watch my temps go up. It's never been above 65C(on 60% fan speed) , ever , until now. I have to keep the fan speed above 75% or the card will get to 99C like it did earlier today when I decided to check. PCB temp is high too, 59C. I reinstall nvidia drivers and still same thing, high temps and I'm only using 84% of the GPU too.. if it was any higher who knows how hot it will get. -
Macbook Pro 15' Early 2013 SSD Upgrade
I have a MBPr early 2013 with a 512GB SSD, will the new 1TB PCIe (late 2013 model) fit my Macbook Pro 15' or will I only be able to upgrade to the 756GB from the early 2013 model?
You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage. -
Difference between late-2012 and early-2013 mbp retina 13"?
I just bought the early-2013 mbp retina from the refurbished section of the mac site.
It seems to be v. difficult to get detailed info on this model. Most web queries about aspects of this model bring up info on the late-2012 model.
Is this some sort of freak model that was a limited run?
One of the main reasons I ask is that I have a 512gb SSD, and I'm looking to replace it with the 768gb SSD module. The SSD module I am looking to buy advertises itself as being compatible with the late-2012, but no mention of early-2013.
The late-2012 and early-2013 share the same model number (A1425), should I assume they carry the same architecture under the hood?
**Before you reply**
- Yes, I know I'm not supposed to open the computer, might void the warranty etc.
- No, I didn't have the option of the 768gb SSD when I bought it, it was already assembled. I got it cheap.
- Yes, I am aware that SSD upgrade is an expensive option.
- Yes, I am aware I can store additional data on an external HDD.
- Yes, I am aware I can boot from a higher capacity external HDD.
- No, I don't want to know about alternative options, just the one outlined in the original query.
Thanks.didvid.s,
the technical specifications for the two models are here and here. Contrast and compare them to your heart’s content. -
MBP Early 2013 somewhat random but recurring kernel panic
Hi-I just bought an MBP early 2013 model. I've had it just over a week and have had 8 kernel panics. They appear to be happening when the computer is turning on - either cold (from being shutoff) or waking from sleep (however it doesn't do it everytime it wakes or boots). I've got all the software updates installed (excepting Mavericks...I don't plan on upgrading to it for a while). Here is the latest panic log. It appears to be something with the video card, but I'm a relatively new mac user, so I could be completely off. The video card it came with is the Intel HD Graphics 4000. I plan on taking it back to where I bought it to get it looked at, but I'm curious if you guys have any thoughts on it.
Thanks

It seems that your graphics card is causing the panics, or it MIGHT be your logic board (highly unlikely). What i suggest doing is running apple hardware test. to do this, shut down your computer and hold the D key on startup. If that doesn't work, try option(alt)+D, the rest of the process is simple -
Has the new Early 2013 Retina Macbook Pro still lag and display issues?
Hello. I've never had a Mac before and I'm thinking of buying the new "early 2013" 15-inch (2.7 Ghz, 16Gb Ram, $2799) Retina Macbook Pro. I live in Argentina but I'm going to NYC in a couple of weeks and I want to get one there. The thing is, that I can not be returning it 2 or 3 times like I read a lot of peple had to, because I'll be coming back home after 2 weeks and here they will only fix it, not replace it for a new one, and that could take months.
So, I want to know if you guys can help me decide if I should go for it or not, if these image retention and burn in and ui lag issues appear to be fixed with this new model or if it is still the same. If I don't buy this one I'll be getting the new Samsung Series 7 Chronos they showed in CES 2013, still not available in the market. Thanks a lot!huevo_gnr wrote:
I just checked and I have the LG SJA2, too. I didn't notice any Image retention at first, I tested it with the chessboard test for 5 or 6 minutes, it showed no IR. But with 10 minutes I can see a bit of IR. Nothing that can affect the normal use of the computer, I mean I have to put the chessboard for 10 minutes and then change to grey to notice it, but it does exist and is the SJA2 from LG. If it doesn't get worst, I think it doesn't even matter. I just hope it doesn't get worst.
FWIW, I noticed that until I stopped looking at the chessboard before it switched; my eyes had image retention. But in that awfully long thread on the subject, some have insisted that if it's an LG, it's trouble so I guess there's no guarantee. (BTW, I was writing this when you tried the test again - ocular image retention?)
Not to hijack the thread, but shortly after I posted that "good news" about SJA2, my rMBP simply refused to start at all; it was totally inert. Charging, not charging, SMC reset, nothing helped. Tech support's only solution was bring it in to be fixed.
On a hunch, and remembering something about magnets in the top of the display activating a reed switch in the base, probably near the trackpad, I lifted the front of the Mac about 1/4" inch and let it drop. Bingo! The Mac has operated properly so far. I suspect the reed switch was stuck in the wrong position, and some evidence suggests it was that way out of the box and my fix corrected it.

Can PU12 fetch results from 3rd-party payroll systems?
Gurus: We have configured PU12 to export master data or master/payroll data to 3rd-part systems. Could you tell us how to fetch the results from external 3rd-party systems back to our ECC system? Thanks!
