  • MacBookPro Retina Late 2013 keeps crashing

    My new MacBookPro Retina Late 2013 with OSX 10.9.2 keeps crashing randomly:
    Sometimes, it crashes while working and shows this screen.
    Also, when I close the lid and open it again after some hours, the MacBook has sometimes restarted itself. Console.app shows "Sleep failure code 0x00000000 0x13006c00".
    The last sleep-crash happened while on battery power with no external device plugged into the MacBook.

    It happened again. This test is shown after restarting: http://pastebin.com/5t0BKy3r

  • Why my macbook pro 15" retina late 2013 shows weird display spec in the system report.

    Hi, my  macbook pro 15" retina late 2013 displays screen resolution as 3360*2100 in the system report. As we all know that the 15" model of late 2013 macbook pro has the maxmium resolution as 2880*1800. So is there anyone has a clue?

    Odd. Set the current resolution to "Best for Retina."
    Start up in Safe Mode
    Then reboot normally. Same issue?

  • Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) & 10.10.1 cannot detect the external monitor is turned off

    I connect my MBPr (late 2013) to a 24" Dell monitor via HDMI using a high quality audioquest hdmi cable.
    When I turn off my Dell monitor, the MBPr did not detect the monitor is being turned off.
    Let's say I opened a chrome browser and I move it to the external monitor.   If I turn off my Dell monitor now, the chrome browser will not automatically move back to the MBPr screen.
    I have the same scenario if I just power on my MBPr now and not power on the Dell monitor.   I will do this if I need to do some small stuff (like typing this post) int he middle of night and I don't want to turn on my Dell monitor.
    I am not sure if this is a problem or this is a normal behaviour of the MBPr.  I was like this when I was on Mavericks.
    PS. If I connect my Lenovo laptop to the same monitor and I turn off my monitor, the opened applications will go back to the Lenovo screen.

    The hardware supports DP1.2 and MST but unfortunately at present OS X Mavericks does not.

  • Unreliable Wifi in Windows 8.1 on new MacBookPro Retina Late 2013

    I received a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks this week.
    I installed Windows 8.1 via bootcamp.
    The install went perfectly and everything is working except every few minutes its looses its wifi connection.
    Turning wifi off and on temporarily fixes the problem.
    Wifi in Mavericks is perfectly stable.
    The problem occurs on different wifi networks.
    Device manager reports that it is using Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter Driver version 6.30.223.170
    This matches the driver version supplied by Mavericks bootcamp assistant.
    Is there a more up to date driver?
    I've tried a few simple things such as preventing windows putting the card to sleep to save power but it had no affect.
    At the moment I'm getting by with an old belkin usb ethernet adapter.

    I have the same problem with my brand new MacPro (6-Core, D700, 1tb SSD)
    I have called Apple support to report this issue, in the mean time I've done the following tests:
    Windows 7/8 tests NO Joy...
    I have also tried tricking the windows 8 installer by doing the following.
    1)Boot of Windows 8 installation (USB)
    2)At the setup screen it will ask you to format your boot camp created drive to NTFS so that windows can be installed.
    After the formatting is done and windows is ready to install i swap the Windows 8 USB stick for a Windows 7 USB stick then I click on next.
    3)Windows starts copying the files just like it did on the Windows 8 installation and I get the same error.
    "Can't update boot configuration"
    I guess it has nothing to do with the Windows USB Stick since I've tried installing Win 7/8 and 8.1 with the exact same error.
    I have not received any news from Apple support on this issue.
    Any other ideas or suggestions ?
    Thanks!

  • MacBookPro Retina Late 2013 back to Mavericks

    Hi. I installed Yosemite and didn't like it. I installed Mavericks again, but EFI firmware stayed from Yosemite (black screen when hold 'option'). I want to revert 'grey screen' as was before. Current 'Boot ROM Version' is MBP111.0138.B11, previous version is MBP111.0138.B03.
    B03 version available as 'latest' on official page, but this .pkg can't  be installed.
    Can I get back B03 firmware and how?

    No, you cannot revert the firmware nor should you wish to. If you want to downgrade to Mavericks you will have to start by erasing the hard drive. Then restore Mavericks from your Mavericks-only backup. Or you can try this:
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • GPT partition inhibiting windows 8.1 install on MBP retina late 2013

    Hi there, looking for some help!
    Trying to install win 8.1 on my MPB retina late 2013 using bootcamp.
    Bootcamp makes the partition but then the windows installer does not automatically start (Bootcamp help says it should.. Original full windows disk is in superdrive).
    Restarting pressing "option/alt" gives me the choice to start "windows".
    This starts the windwows installer.
    Seems fine untill I need to select a disk to install windows onto.
    Choosing "Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP"  Does not work.
    it says "windows cannot be installed on drive 0 partition 4"
    Same after pressing "Format"
    Details show:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    I saw a solution to a problem like this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23545484#23545484
    But I expect that this would not be nessecary anaymore.
    Windows 8.1 is supposed te be supported by Bootcamp nowadays.
    My Bootcamp is:
    Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.1, Copyright © 2013 Apple Inc. All rights reserved
    Software update says no updates are available for my machine.
    Anyone?

    delete partition bootcamp created in windows installer
    and let windows installer create new one (it will create 4)
    after that, IF installer won't to able to write on partition created, reset pram http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 start installer again by booting with ALT + Option
    it will be able to write to the partition it created

  • Battery replacement on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013?

    Could you replace your batteries in a 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 yourself?
    If not, could Apple replace them at a fee or could I go to a third party shop?
    Also, how long or how much cycles does a battery last?
    I was planning to buy a macbook and was taking that into consideration.

  • How to get new Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) to detect external monitor via HDMI?

    Hi everyone, this is my first Mac and for the most part it's been really, really wonderful.
    This is my first major glitch:  I cannot get it to detect my external display:  It is an ASUS PA248Q, manufactured Aug 2012.
    The HDMI cable according to my Amazon history is at least 1.3c from 2010,  "Fanatic Digital Imperial Series Gold-Plated HDMI Cable (6 feet)".
    It works with perfectly connecting an AmazonTV box to an old Samsung TV, with vivid clarity, unlike our cableTV signal.
    Just in case, I have a new HDMI cable on order, which claims to be of newest standards.
    The Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) has the standard Intel Iris from the Haswell chips, as well as Nvidia GT 750M, the latter which I don't think has been used yet.
    The ASUS display says:  HDMI NO SIGNAL.
    I have tried shutting them down and replugging the cable.  I don't know what the ideal order is.  The Macbook Pro is plugged into AC power, as suggested.
    In System Preferences>Display, I press the Option key to select "Detect Displays" option (seriously unintuitive).
    I have also tried resetting the NVRAM:
    I shut the machine down.  Pressed the power button, then quickly held the quadruplet:  Option-Command-P-R  (a double handful) and waited for the machine to chime a 2nd time.  Tried to detect external display no luck.
    Next, I reset the SMC:
    I shut the machine down.  Then I pressed Shift-Control-Option-Power   for about 5 to 10s.  Then I turned on the machine normally.
    NVRAM & SMC steps were from an old youtube video, as the instructions I had did not explain how to do so clearly.
    Please let me know if I"m doing something wrong.
    Seems so exorbitant to pay $350 for Apple Care;  that's a the cost for a whole new cheap laptop.
    I will search the forums again.  If anyone answers this,  thank so much!

    Hello there, willr314.
    It sounds like you've covered most of the practical steps found in this Knowledge Base article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573#1
    No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
    Check connections
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    The article does offer some additional links and recommendations as well:
    These articles may offer additional assistance and information about displays and video adapters:

    For assistance with Retina displays, please see Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display.
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

  • Despite EFI update, Trackpad unresponsive on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013)

    Tonight (Nov 11), my trackpad stopped working completely on my MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013 - OS X 10.9). It does not seem to notice anything (clicks, movement, scrolling, etc.). Also my keyboard has stopped working once.
    I have the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update (Version 1.3), which was apparently installed as of November 8th. I've read that it is supposed to fix the problem, which is odd because the issue did not start for me until after I had the update. Would be grateful for some help. Thank you.
    (Currently, I'm using my Logitech Cordless Click Optical Mouse as a replacement.)

    I also have experienced the same problem even though I have installed the update.
    I have asked Apple to ring me for a discussion today, however, not sure what can be done if the fix doesn't do what its supposed to do.
    Happy days (my first Macbook pro) not so happy!!!
    I would be grateful for any thoughts as to how I can prevent the lockups
    Regards

  • MST Support for MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - DisplayPort 1.2 - Will it ever happen? (with sources)

    So back in October, I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina (MBPr), fully loaded with top of the line specs.  I was soooo excited to have Thunderbolt 2 tech which Intel AND Apple describes as having DisplayPort 1.2a compatibility - which up to this point is unfortunately NOT the case.  The point of the information/questions and requests in this article is to engage a conversation about the issues of not having MST support after Apple falsely mislead their consumers to think otherwise - especially when it is clear the MBPr is capable.  Please read on...
    Apple advertises that the Thunderbolt 2 ports on BOTH the MBPr and the new Mac Pro (NMP) will have 4K Display support with the famed 20gb/sec Ports (DisplayPort 1.2 only requires a little above 17gb/sec).  Now that the 10.9.1 update has been released, we have failed to see MST or Multi-Stream Transport enabled on the MBPr Late 2013.  Now, as for the New Mac Pro- it DOES have MST enabled in 10.9.1 with the AMD GPUs.  For all of you out there that's questioning what this means, short answer is basically the Mac Pro will be able to power a 4K Monitor at 60Hz through the Thunderbolt 2 Port but the New MBPr is stuck with only HDMI 1.4 support which tops out at 4K 30Hz. 30Hz is unacceptable for anything but movies or a photo slideshow.  At 30Hz the cursor will jump across the screen, eliminating any of the benefits of 4K.
    BUT it gets worse...
    Apple can be seen advertising that the new MBPr 15" model can power a 4K monitor THROUGH the Thunderbolt 2 Port here: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt - This article quotes the following:
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Does this not let the consumer assume that the newest MBPr will be able to drive a 4K display through the Thunderbolt 2 Port?  I would say yes it does, but at the time I wrote this, the TB2 Ports can't power a 4K display because, as previously stated, MST is disabled in Mavericks for the 15" MBPr Late 2013.
    NOW, later on Apple posted the following article on 4K support here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    4K support on the MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013)
    MacBook Pro supports 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs at the following resolutions and refresh rates with the built-in HDMI port:
    3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
    4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
    In the article above the New Mac Pro is listed as having support for a 4K Display with the Thunderbolt 2 Port (or MST DisplayPort 1.2a Technology) at 60Hz with no problem.  This leads myself and many others to believe that MST will NEVER be enabled on the newest MacBook Pro Retina with Nvidia GPUs. Yes, 4K IS supported but ONLY through the HDMI 1.4 port, which has the limitation of only 30hz.  This two-faced advertising is extremely upsetting to a LOT of people, including myself.
    Interestingly enough, THIS IS NOT a hardware issue.  If one ventures into Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp and connects a 4K Display via the Thunderbolt 2 (or through DP1.2) Port, the Display registers at 60Hz, thus proving that the Thundberbolt 2 Hub Controller is completely capable of MST DisplayPort functionality.  Clearly this a driver issue with Apple, Nvidia or Intel or any combination.  What Apple has done here is forcing any professional that desires stable and clear 4K technology through their MacBook Pro Retina to do so only using Windows 8.1 on their own machines!  Definitely an oxymoron if you ask me...
    Later on when the Mac Pro was ready for ordering, Apple placed the Sharp PN-K321 as a compatible option for a 4K Display.  On the Store page featuring the (over three thousand dollar) Sharp 4K display, located here http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321-4k-ultra-hd-led-mon itor?fnode=53 Apple states the following:
    "Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013)."
    All of that being said, and I'm terribly sorry for my wordy ranting...
    This brings me to a final two requests to ANYONE reading this post:
    a) Has anyone working with the new 10.9.2 Beta Update seen evidence that DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities will be enabled for the new MacBook Pro Retina (Nvidia 750M) with the promised "Graphics Driver Updates" within the next Mavericks update?
    and
    b) To others that purchased or were/are thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro Retina with TB2 Ports: If you are just as upset as me about this crushing blow to consumers that just purchased a $3,000 laptop that were promised something that wasn't delivered - I urge you please, write to Apple and let them know they are making a mistake.  You can do this though the support page or through http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Thank you for your precious time, and if anyone has anything to contribute to this issue, please jump in....

    GOOD NEWS!
    The Mavericks 10.9.3 update adds official support for Thunderbolt 2, 4K!
    I'm not sure if you will be able to daisy chain anything to the 4K display.  I've read that the design of Thunderbolt 2 includes support for DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream (MST), which allows this type of daisy chaining with 4K, but we don't know if Apple has this supported on it's machines.  Apparently it's been buggy in development because the graphics driver needs to work correctly with the Thunderbolt 2 host controller.  I'm sure they will work it out if they haven't already.
    The above is all via found information on this topic, but you can follow some more discussion here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1713876
    One more note on Thunderbolt worth sharing: always keep your fastest peripherals closer to the computer in the chain. If you have a TB1 device directly connected to the computer, anything further down the chain will be limited to TB1 speed/capability regardless of it's native speed.  Always connect TB2 devices first, and save anything TB1 for the end of the chain.

  • Photoshop CS6 performance on new Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013

    Hi guys,
    Just bought the new 13" Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 with 8GB RAM and 256SSD.
    Installed CS6 with all patches and retina update but performance is appaling. Im editing a Nikon D800 file which I know is heavy, but when zoomed in at 100% and using the healing brush it is unusable. There is so much lag on the brush it takes a second after i lift my pen for the stroke to be finishes.
    Happening in Scaled & Best for Retina screen modes.
    My 2005 Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of ram and windows 7 did this without hiccups, so I cant believe this brand new laptop cant do it.
    Any ideas? Its really unusable now.
    Cheers

    Dick,
    If you downloaded and installed the latest Mac OS X driver, it will not work with your Intuos2 tablet.  If you OS X is 10.6+, here are driver directions to follow for a clean install and a link to the last driver:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    After restarting, download and install the latest 6.20 driver from:http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/mac/pro/WacomTablet_6.2.0w4.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer.
    Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

    I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.

    Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.
