HT204032 MacBook Pro w/ Retina taking long time to shutdown

I download the SMC for my MacBook Pro w/ Retina, now it take 45 to 50 sec. for my MacBook to shutdown. Should it take this long?

Yup. you've got it right...
I was avoiding a reinstall because I'm a newbie OSX and I was trying REAL hard to find out which soft after the original install made my Mountain Lion a slow kitty to turn off...
But today I said "f*** it... let's reinstall.." And Magic... 4 seconds shut down with all my software installed as if I never reinstalled the OS
;-) Loving this laptop!!

MacBook Pro 15 Retina Haswell - Long start up time

Just received my BTO, maxed out MBP 15, 16gb ram, 2.6, 1TB ssd. It took almost 90 seconds to boot up, as well as doing re-start machine. Is this normal? Been reading the forum and seems like everyone else MBP boot up in about 20 seconds or less. Mine just came 3 days ago, came with mavericks installed. Nothing else been added other than moving my iTunes library from older MBP. Please advise, what steps I need to do to check, what to turn off (if any), etc.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. My MacBook Pro is new and came with the Leopard 10.5. It's taking 2 min to reestart. I've already tried to reinstall the system with "erase and install", but it did not help. Even the first time after reinstalling the restart is already slow.
Have anybody heard anything about how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display Shipping Times

Hi,
Now that the rMBP's dispatch times have been reduced to 2-4 business days, I was wondering how long I can expect to wait before I get my hands on my brand new rMBP? I ordered it on Friday 31st August so it's been 2 business days already. I have changed my configurations so that I will have 16GB of RAM instead of the normal 8GB. I live in the UK, and apparently it ships from China.
Have any of you received your custom configured Retina MacBook Pro whilst the dispatch times have been reduced to 2-4 days? When was yours dispatched and when did it arrive?
Thanks,
James

Hi,
i ordered mine on the 28th of August, it was then made and shipped on the 30th and it is meant to be with me on the 6th of september, it got from china to the uk in from thursday to saturday so its not bad. i tracked mine through a company called Expeditors, which was difficult to find, its been at the apple distribution centre since yesterday so who knows why it takes 3 days to pack.
i configured to have the 2.6ghz, im also having the applecare and extra charger, these will be merged in the post, i guess if you just order your macbook pro retina display without any accessory it will just go straight to you and not the distribution centre. il keep you posted when it is delivered, but know this, configured it wont take 2-4 days
cheers

2. What are the things that will make my Mac lose it's function?
3. What are the things I need to do so that this Mac live forever or until I finish college?

Thanks John.
I'd like to add to what you said that I have here a few Macs, all portables with the exception of one Mini, and the oldest is a white MacBook from 2006, which is still frequently in use. The battery is anything but really useful, admittedly, but it runs okay under Lion, and a student would probably be still happy with it unless he needed to run heavy CAD, DTP, video or photo editing on it. Or games, hehe. Oh, and of course, he wouldn't be as cool as that guy with the brand-new 11" MBA under his arm...

My 2011 MacBook Air suddenly takes a long time to shutdown!

My 13-inch Mid 2011 MacBook Air running OS X 10.7.2 used to take less than 2 seconds to shut down. Recently it's been taking a lot longer time to shut down. Usually it takes 15-20 seconds, but occassionally never shuts down even after waiting for over 10+ hours. I just see the loading wheel keep on spinning. I've checked the disk permissions, ran ONYX to clean up everything, reset PRAM, and read through the system logs. I couldn't find any reason why it's taking so long to shut down.. I'm trying to avoid the last resort of reinstalling OSX 10.7.2.
Does anyone have any ideas on what's slowing down the shut down process?
Thank you!!

I had a similar "problem". Before the issue, my MBA would literally take less than 2 seconds to completely shutdown. Then after installing some 3rd party software, shutdown time increased to 10-15 seconds (the screen would go white and then I'd get the whirling activity symbol). Really not a huge deal but it kind of bothered me and I thought it could be some inefficient process going on.
Short answer: There must be some software process that is taking longer to release the resources that it is using before the computer can shut down. (I'm no expert, so I don't know if I described that accurately)
It's likely some 3rd party software that you may have installed or some setting in a program. In my case, I installed 3rd party software that was a user-written driver for the Xbox 360 controller. I mounted the .dmg and intiated the Installer, then chose "Show Files" from the Files menu of Installer to see exactly where the files were being installed. Deleted all the files and was still getting longer shutdown times.
Went into Activity Monitor and chose "All Processes" from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner instead of just "My Processes" and I noticed one process that had a name that was related to the 3rd party driver I had installed, found its location and deleted it. Apparently, I missed a file location in the Startup Items folder of the current user's Library folder. After deleting that file, shutdown now takes literally less than 2 seconds as before.

Macbook Pro (13" Retina - early 2013) won't shutdown

When I click shutdown my MBP goes to the grey screen with the spinning wheel and thats it. It stays there. If I hold down the power key it turns off, but I would like it to work properly without having to override it.
I'm currently using Mavericks, but this problem existed with the previous OS also. I've had the Genius guys fix it once by doing a system restore, and I've done that one myself. It fixes it for a while and then it eventually just comes back!
I don't think I have any software installed that is isn't commonly installed on most MBPs.
Does anybody know what causes this or how to fix it permanently?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

MacBook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) very short standby time

I have a new (about 1 month old) MacBook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013). Fastest processor, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM running OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. The battery life while powered on is normal. However, in standby (when I close the lid or put it on standby manually) the battery life is nowhere near the 30 Days Apple advertises. It's more like 5-8 hours. When in standby! My old 2009 MacBook Pro 15" has a longer standby time with a used battery!
I already turned off PowerNap (where the MacBook updates emails and stuff while in standby) with no differences. Does anybody else experience this short standby time behaviour with their macbooks? Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!
Fabio

Can you read anything from that?
What I did in between my post and reading your answer was resetting the SMC. I could not yet test, if this had any influence.

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up?

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up? It's brand new, so I don't understand why it would be doing this?

When is the safe time to buy a Macbook Pro with retina display

Hi,
I saw some issues lately with Macbook Pro with retina display in discussion and it seems the number is increasing. It might be a bad batch. I want to order one and I have to do it online (because of a student discount) and it's going to be hard for returning and swapping.
How long should I wait to have more stable MBPR out there to order one? Or it's not like that and bad batch could happened anytime.
Thanks

Thanks for reply guys,
About student discount, I'm currently at Malaysia and there is one store in our University which has student discount and he said he's not going to have retina display in his store anytime soon. So I have to order online which it lets me order from education store easily and btw I want to upgrade the RAM to 16G.
And yes you were right about this place and the numbers of people with problems. I did use 14-day return policy once it was so easy and awesome. Then there is no worry here and I can order mine too.
Thanks again

How long does the macbook pro 13 retina battery last

I just recently got my macbook and was wondering this because i am a bit scared. Apple says their battery lasts around 9 hours, what does that mean? If just doing simple work like pages and other programs a like, my battery will last up to 9 or 10 hours but that is when my brightness is less than 60%, it lasts maybe 8 hours at full. However, when I'm doing searches on safari like going on websites and youtube, my battery only lasts about 6.5 hours at 40% brightness, for some reason if i am on netflix it will last longer, maybe for about 7.5 hours 40% brightness. I personally would be happy with 6+ hours and keeping it at a low brightness but if I'm supposed to get more battery than why not?! P.S. When i go on activity monitor it says that none of the applications are using more than 5% (except activity monitor).

Hey samraymond,
Welcome to the Apple family, I’m glad to hear that you have purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Our marketing pages state that the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display can last up to 9 hours. However, please keep in mind that battery life will definitely vary by use and configuration. Our technical specifications page provides more information on the testing that was conducted to determine battery life:
Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Technical Specifications
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Testing conducted by Apple in July 2014 using preproduction 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, and preproduction 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.

I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

This will be my first time buying a laptop and I was thinking about the macbook pro with retina display but the price is a little to high I was wondering for any suggestions? Like other ways to get it cheaper?

Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

My Macbook pro w/retina will no longer connect to my tv.

My Macbook pro w/ retina display won't connect with my TV via HDMI cable anymore, both the tv screen and computer screen turn black, the sound works but there is no display. How do I fix this? It worked before I downloaded mountain lion, does it have to do with the new software?

180ºF is hot, but that's to be expected when playing games. My average temp - right now - is 160ºF and I'm just surfing the web and creating a clone backup. So your temps aren't unusual.
And before you reach a point where the temps could damage your Mac, the computer will execute a thermal shutdown.
So you've nothing to worry about...
