Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina Out of the Box Condition

I have just purchased my LAte 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" 2.6Ghz i5 512 Gb. Out of the box, it won't boot because there is no charge in it, and the keys feel a little less tactile, a littile stiff than the one on my Late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina. Also when the Macbook Pro finally booted up(after i plugged in the mag safe adaptor) I checked the battery status and there is already 3 charge cycles on it. Are these normal for an expensive Macbook Pro out of the box?
Thanks!

Whether any previously built Mac notebook of any model came out of the box with a charge in the battery doesn't mean currently manufactured unit will or does. There have been several posts on these forum about the newest units not having a battery charge. I suspect there are many more units then are represented on these forum simply because most people would actually connect the AC charger as the first step in setting up a new computer and then you have others that don't think anything about it.
Who said the battery was Discharged Deeply. Just being at 0% of a charge doesn't mean it ws Deeply Discharged. Sure it isn't the best thing to do once the battery has been charged fully to constantly discharge it to 0%.
The battery has built in circuitry
Since this is the second brand new system you have had that has come like this, and many other it seems, I would say it is normal for the newly built systems.

Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina SSD Upgrade

So I just got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 128GB (MacBook 11,1) as a gift. After using the computer for a while, I realized that I need more space on my machine. So I called, chatted and went to the apple store (Walnutcreek, CA and Plano, TX) to see if they can guide me or help me on the upgrade of the drive. The representatives from all these locations said that unfortunately currently there is no upgrade options available for this machine. At one point, the rep. told me that I can ask a Apple authorized company to do the upgrade for me and my warranty will be voided but my apple care plan will still be valid and accept it for repair. They also provided me sites like: OWC, Transcend, Macsales, etc. to try and see if they have something that can help me on my issue.
But my main concern/question is that this is a "Late 2013" model and we are currently in year 2015, why hasn't apple or other companies come out with some solution to this issue?
Does anyone have other solutions that they can suggest to come around this issue?

Thank you

Yes, I actually tried all these sites and notice that they currently don't have anything for MacBook 11,1 (Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina).
That's why I was asking for other solutions. But thank you for the suggestion.

Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina Battery Issues

Just got my new MacBook Pro 2 days ago and been using it for web surfing (Safari), few coding projects, skyping and listening to music mainly. Somehow the battery lasts for about 6 hours at it's best and not only that but the battery estimate is not correct at all. I charged it to 84% and it said 12 hours left then at 70% after exactly 54 minutes of battery usage it said 5 hours and 50 minutes left.
The time estimate drops fast and doesn't last that long ... I've seen similar discussions but there problems were because of Chrome or the kernel_task using the memory & CPU extensivley. But in my case, I'm not using Chrome and the kernel_task is taking around 500 - 600 of memory and fair usage of the CPU ..

Hi. I have a same problem with my new MBP 13 RETINA (late2013)
Battery life is BAD! I'm using it without Skype for 2 days, but still, just a web browsing can't kill charge so fast.
How bad is bad? How long is your battery lasting?
What does your Activity Monitor show under the Energy & CPU tabs? There does seem to be an intermittant issue in Mavericks where after coming out of sleep, the kernel_task process will start using ~100% of a CPU forever. This will drain the battery really quickly, and seems to require a reboot to fix. I run iStat menus, and it's pretty obvious in the CPU graph menu when this happens, as the graph shows a constant 25% overall CPU utilization.
When you say you are just web browsing, what are you doing? What browser, and what kind of websites?
A lot of folks on the MacRumors forums are reporting really bad battery life if they use Opera. Try Safari instead.
If you are watching Flash based videos or otherwise visiting Flash heavy websites, that will hurt battery as well. If you can import the videos you want to watch into iTunes they should use much less battery. If you are using Safari and the Flash stuff on the websites is ads or other stuff you don't need to see, install Click 2 Flash to stop it from automatically loading.
Finally, try to keep your screen brightness as low as is comfortable. Half brightness or lower can help.
I get a consistant 10+ hours of battery life using my Late 2013 system all day for browsing with Safari, editing photos with iPhoto & Preview, and creating documents with Pages. I have BlueTooth disabled, and brightness at 1/2 or less.
You can get the statistics on your battery to see if something seems wrong by installing and running the Coconut Battery utility. I'm willing to bet your issue is software and usage related though.

MacBook Pro 17" - out of the box, speaker not working (popping)

I ordered a new MacBook Pro 17" for my wife and the internal speaker does nothing more than pop and crackle every second or so, with silence in between. I've tried playing a YouTube video as well as FaceTime, but the behavior is the same.
Is this a common problem or simply a DOA?

Torloc,
When you say it disabled the Admin login, you mean that the administrative account in Windows is disabled? Have you tried doing the recovery a second time? Maybe it just had a problem the time.
doug5769 and mmack012000,
You both say you have the same problem. Can you be a little more specific? Are you using the same laptop model? Where exactly do you run into the problem when doing the recovery?
I'd just like to try to find out what exactly is happening.
If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, you can try contacting support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Hot even if turned off

Hi Guys, has anyone encountered this issue? My late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina 2.6 Ghz, 8Gb Ram, 512 SSD is Hot even if it's turned off. So when I power it up, it already drained some of it's charge, and when I check the Temperature using Temperature Guage, the CPU temperature is at 59 degrees Celcius, might I stress that this reading is from a newly turned on macbook pro with out any apps running( at idle stage). My friend who bought his late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina 2.4 Ghz, 8Gb Ram and 258 SSD also has this issues.
Is this normal with the Haswell Chip? Because my slightly older late 2012 13" Macbook Pro Retina 2.5ghz, 8gb Ram, 128 SSD never did manifest anything like that. And when I turn it on, the battery has the same charge as when I turned it off.
Any insights on this?
Thanks!

Open Activity monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set %CPU to display values from high to low. Are there any CPU gluttons that can be identified?
If your MBP is still in the warranty period, consider an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

Late 2013 15" macbook pro, uploaded to yosemite, now crashes after sleep

Hey All,
I've tried the PRAM and SMC resets. I've also run disk utility. It doesn't always happen right away...but sooner or later after waking from sleep I will get a beach ball, massive slow downs, and eventual lock up. This does not occur in safe mode. This is driving me nuts. Please help

Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro

Hi all new here and live in the UK. I've got a Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro (SSD) 256gb 8gb ram under 12 months old. I had OS X Mavericks when new and I've updated to OS X Yosemite. Now when I had Mavericks and using Blackmagic Disk Speed test I got around 680MB/s Write and 700+ on Read first screen shot. But now I'm only getting 350MB/s Write and 560MB/s on Read second screen shot (Media Name: APPLE SSD SD0256F) is this normal with updating to Yosemite????.
Medium Type: SSD
Protocol: PCI
Thanks Michael.

Hello Michael
I have a 2010 MacBook and you can imagine how slow my system would be with Yosemite. However, I just had a make a few tweaks here and there and I am now getting a comparatively a better result than before. Since you have a relatively newer Macbook, you can definitely make these tweaks and see if it works out for you.
Here is the link:

Good luck!

HT201364 I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"

I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"
I nee an easy way to resolve this with Apple.

why is it this problematic to resolve?! obviously there's a valid installer image for our macs, why can we not have access to it to use on our laptops?
I do not understand, nor accept the explanation given before - about it being a newer model... it doesn't make sense... how does that translate to "no download available".
also, if it was a valid point - we would have had that download with the release of 10.9.1 - which we don't.

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

Safe to plug my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro in Germany?

Is it safe to plug my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro into the outlet (with the appropriate adaptor) in Stuttgart, Germany? Or will I have to use a transformer?
Thank you.

You can get any sort of plug adapter kit - Apple even sells one (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit?fnode =3c).
I recall that they were once available in many electronics stores and even luggage stores. I've had the same kit from 1982 and never lost a plug!

Does a macbook pro work out of the united states?

i will like to know if a macbook pro work out of the united states because i would want to buy one and use it out of the united states

It will work anywhere, and the warranty is valid world wide. You will probably need to buy some sort of power plug adapter for the USA two-pronged power plug into whatever country socket you intend visiting.

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion 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:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. 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.
3. 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 Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks 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 will install the version of OS X that originally came with your model if you have a model that supports Internet Recovery - 2010 models and later: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
