HT6065 retina macbook pro with mavericks, computer freezes when swiping to different apps on desktops, anyone else experiencing this?

Over the past two weeks I've had serious problems whilst working with my rMBP locking up. Whenever i have a few apps open and I swipe between them everything freezes for about 5-10 mins and sometimes not at all. I have to hard shutdown. I've heard other people say the same on mavericks, is this being addressed by apple?

Hey LukeMc007,
I recommend running through the following troubleshooting steps:
Restart your Mac.
Methods for starting up your Mac
Check for updates to your software. Keep your Mac up to date
Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of OS X.
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These tools can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test
Restart your Mac in safe mode.
Start up in safe mode
Use Disk Utility to repair your computer’s internal disk.

Retina Macbook Pro with Mavericks freezes

So ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks I've been having a really annoying issue. Usually around once a day (or every couple of days) my computer will freeze. First usually one program freezes (like Google Chome or Microsoft Word) and then when I open up the Force Quit window other applications will start freezing (as well as the Force Quit window itself!) and after a little bit my entire computer is just frozen. I've found that the only way to fix this issue is to force my computer to restart by holding down the power button. I've tried writing to Apple about this (multiple times!) but haven't gotten a single response. If you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how I could try fixing it that would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps, I have a 2012 15-inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
Thanks in advance!

Wow this is weird...The only real thing we have in common are the freezing and the operating system. Sometimes if I leave it for 10 or 20 minutes it'll unfreeze and pretend nothing happened, but usually I have to hit the power button.
I have a brand new (Nov 2013) retina macbook pro, 13 inch, and it came with mavericks pre-installed. I don't have any Microsoft products installed. It freezes so randomly that I don't see any pattern with apps that I have open.
I figured it was just a buggy version and apple would fix it soon. But still waiting.
Have you tried a fresh reinstall? If this keeps up I might try that.
Does you keyboard freeze up? I just noticed that the back-lighting on the keyboard of my laptop doesn't go on during the freeze. I guess that means the keyboard has no power to do anything about the freeze.
I noticed in your shot of your screen, microsoft word wasn't giving you any problems...only the native apple apps.
Here's one of my freezes. What a beauty eh?
EDIT*** I tried pasting an image but didn't show up after posting this reply...oh well, It was similar to your one.

My Macbook Pro with Mavericks keeps freezing, What can I do?

I switched from PC a year and a half ago, so the computer is still pretty new. It's been freezing a lot lately, I have 4gb ram. It'll just suddenly freeze while running programs or stop working altogether, and a few minutes ago it said I had "run out of application memory" even though I didn't have any programs open. I get the spinny wheel of death a lot. I don't know much about mac so I was hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I ran EtreCheck and here are the results:

Retina Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion freezes with Time Machine

I have a new MBP Retina, it crashes more than any other mac I've owned in the past 18 years! If it turn Time Machine off, it becomes much more stable, but I now dont have a back up (I kept getting the 'sparse bundle in use already" error so I wiped my time machine a,d reset everything).
Ive done a clean reinstall, zapped PRAM, reset all system settings, and it still wont run unless time machine is turned off. Is this a common issue and can we expect a fix soon?

screen freezes, no keys or mouse work, have to hard restart .
happens during a host of different activities with different software open, during back ups, installing other programmes etc. screen wouldnt work when it had gone to sleep. I only turned time machine off because i couldnt get the mac running for long enough to do a back up, then hey presto, it hasnt crashed since!

Audio control in the lock screen won't work sometimes with third party apps. Has anyone else experienced this?

iPod touch 5. IOS 7

Hi Rspenia,
I am sorry to hear that your phone was damaged. I'd like to address your concern. Depending on how much damage was to the screen, it may need to be replaced. Was the issue with your screen fixed? Do you have insurance coverage on your device? If so and and you wish to replace the phone, you can file a claim online here http://bit.ly/07CrqPK. I hope this helps you with getting a working device and recovering from the broken screen issue.
Thanks,

Everything on my Macbook Pro with Mavericks runs very slowly

I have a 13" macbook pro with Mavericks operating system, and it is only a little over a year old. In the last 2 or 3 months everything on the computer has been running incredibly slowly.
I first noticed it when streaming online videos, the audio would be several seconds ahead of the video, but the lagging has started everywhere else too. When I type the text appears several seconds after it has been typed, it takes much longer than it should to scroll down webpages and the cursor often freezes, I have even noticed a very long lag switching between webpages or applications.
I have very few things saved on this computer, just some Word documents and pictures. I did have Sims 3 installed but I uninstalled it thinking it may be the problem.
I have also noticed a very audible metallic plinking noise that could be unrelated. It started ] maybe 2 months before the lagging did and sounds like it's coming from the bottom right hand corner of the computer. I'm considering resetting my computer to factory settings because I haven't been able to find anything to fix this issue.

The hard drive is located in the bottom right of your model and I experienced a very similar issue twice in less than a year of purchase. I suggest you back all your data up as soon as possible as it may be the signs of a hard drive beginning to fail. My symptoms were it would take longer to start up and I would get the spinning ball when I secondary clicked. Before it would fail, I would try and repair errors found in disk utility and it would say it could not be repaired, back up as much data as you can. By that point, it was too late to back anything up. From there, I would get a loading bar on startup and once it loaded, it would shut down. But it could be a less serious issue as well. It could also be the SMC, PRAM, or errors in your hard drive's coding. But before you follow these steps, back all your stuff up that you want or need in case it is your hard drive. Boot the machine into recovery mode by holding in command and r as soon as you turn it on. After it loads, you should get a box to pick your language. Select your language and select disk utility. In there, click Macintosh HD and verify the disk. If anything appears in red text, there are errors that need to be fixed. All you have to do is click repair. If it says they can't be repaired and to back up your data, your hard drive may have failed. To reset the SMC, plug in the mac and shut it down. On the left side, located the control, option, and shift keys. Hold those down along with the power button. Hold it for a few seconds and let them go. It's normal the machine won't turn on and the light on the charger will change state. Next, reset the PRAM. Shut down the Mac and located command, option, P, and R on your keyboard. You're going to turn on the Mac and as soon as you do so, hold those four keys down. It's going to shut down immediately but keep holding them in. It will turn on and make the "bong" noise like it normally does. Let it cycle about two or three times and let the keys go and wait for it to start up.
I hope this helps and good luck!

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

I have a cd rom for my italian class, which I cannot open on my macbook pro with mavericks installed, someone said I need Rosetta! Help please

I have a cd rom for my italian class, but am unable to load it on my macbook pro with Mavericks installed.
Someone has said i need Rosetta, but understand that Apple stopped installing this!1
Can anyone suggest anything to help me??

Many educational CDs have not been upgraded due to lack of funds in the educational market to pay for the such updates.
This situation is due primarily to the fact that one of the major political parties in this country favors tax cuts to the rich while cutting federal educational support funding (or eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether).
However, you can restore Rosetta and run your educational CD if you install Snow Leopard Server ($20) into Parallels (up to $79) for use in Lion/Mt. Lion/Mavericks:

Read the user manual that came w/the printer/scanner, contact Epson to see if you need to update your scanner drivers to work in Mavericks also check Software Update. Check out the following links:

A scanner driver you may wish to consider: VueScan Scanner Software
