Late 2013 13" rMBP not starting up/black screen

Hi there,
so my brother's late 2013 13" rMBP does not power up properly. It is the top of the line model with the Core i7-4558U, 16GB of RAM, etc...
Pressing the power button leaves the screen powered off, and the fan possibly running, which is difficult to hear as it is so quiet... It is not a display issue tho, as it did work once and displayed the Apple and boot progress (Yosemite), but froze afterwards.
I've tried an SMC reset as explained on Apple Knowledgebase pages. That did work as expected, but the situation did not change. Others have suggested removing/disconnection the battery (which is not possible on this machine, i.e. I don't want to do it myself warranty wise).
Do you have any other suggestions?

Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and then you will be in a position to make an informed decision.
If the MBP is still under warranty, it will be fixed for free.
Ciao.

HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca _ CAPS + NUM LOCK Continually Blinks + Will not Start up Black Screen

Would appreciate any suggestions on the issue I am encountering.
I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca that was left powered on, so it went into Safe mode (screen goes blank). Once I came back to my Laptop hitting any key would take out of of the Safe mode however this time it did not. It remained with black screen irregardless of buttons pressed.
Had booted and can hear the fan and hdd go for the 2secs then it stops to a Black Screen with the "CAPS + NUM LOCK" Continually Blinking. Tried to Hard Boot several times but the same thing re-occurs.
It does not seem to be blinking in a series a code, just a steady blink (every sec) for both the CAPS + NUM Lock for as long as I leave it on. HP Site provides a chart from 1-6 series of blink codes which does not seem to apply to me.
Being out of Warranty I am hesitant in bringing it to a local repair shop without trying any alternate trouble shooting first.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter unplugged, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute. Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out ) and see if the notebook will start.

OS X Lion does not start. Black screen, please help me!

I have installed OS X Lion. I updated software (safari and itunes) and after it rebooted screen went black.
Now It does not start and only shows a black screen. What can I do?
When I turn it on, ventilator obviously starts but beyond that there is nothing to indicate that it is on....

This may be a hardware failure, but there are a few things you can try.
First, disconnect all wired peripherals and try to boot in safe mode (shift key held down at startup.)
If that doesn't work, boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup.) If you can do that, reinstall the Mac OS and try again.
If that doesn't work, reset the NVRAM and PRAM:

If none of that works, take the unit to an Apple Store for service.

Windows 8 not starting and black screen

HI!
My laptop is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n232sa. A few weeks ago when I tried to turn it on, it came up with a black screen and the HP logo with either a "Please Wait" or "Preparing Automatic Recovery" sign at the bottom of the screen. I've been on the troubleshoot pages and have tried all the steps applied for this problem and have spoken to someone on HPChat and they have said that there may be a problem with the motherboard. What do I need to do?

G4 not starting up, black screen, noisy fan, chimes OK then nothing, after a few mins very loud fan!

Anyone else had this? On start up chimes as normal but screen refuses to come on. Have swapped monitors and same happens on the newer one. G4 was making noises before last week with very loud fan cutting in from time to time. Got lots of work on that computer! Typical, not all backed up! Is it the logic board? How much does that cost to sort out?
Thanks for your help

Hello, it's going to be tough to find anybody to work on G4s these days, Apple doesn't.
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does the Video card have a fan on it? Does the fan spin freely?
If worse comes to worse, you can pull the drives & get the info off of them with one of something like these...

Late 2013 13'' rMBP 4k 60Hz capability

I've been following threads regarding late 2013 (Haswell) rMBP's 4k @60Hz capability. The discussions on those threads have been predominantly revolving around high-end 15'' rMBP equipped with Nvidia 750M gpu because mostly owners of this specific rMBP have been inquiring this capability and only these people seem to own 4k 60Hz monitors-- this is quite natural given the exorbitant price of 4k monitors and considering that these people are after the utmost performance. The thing is, 4k displays will eventually become cheaper and people who are considering buying a Haswell rMBP without a discrete gpu might at least want to know if these rMBPs are future proof in terms of this capability.
As far as I've been following the discussions, the current status of the highest-end Haswell rMBP and accordingly my questions pertaining to lower-end Haswell rMBPs are as follows:
1) Status:Owners of Haswell 15'' rMBP with Nvidia 750M gpu and 4k 60Hz monitors confirm that they can output 4k @ 60Hz via Windows with their computers on these monitors. So far no one has confirmed if Haswell 13'' rMBPs equipped with Iris (and Haswell 15'' rMBPs with Iris Pro for that matter) has can output 4k @ 60Hz. It might be that these people don't have such a monitor.
Question: Please kindly confirm if you can get 4k@60Hz via Windows if you have a Haswell rMBP without discrete gpu and a 4k 60Hz monitor.
2) Status: Owners of Haswell 15'' rMBP with Nvidia 750M gpu and 4k 60Hz monitors have started to confirm that they can output 4k @ 60Hz via Mavericks with their computers on these monitors since the release of 10.9.3 beta 13D12 build. Moreover they are confirming that the experience has got even smoother with the 13D17 build of the beta. With the final release of 10.9.3 owners of this rMBP will likely get an immecapble 4k 60Hz experience.
Question: Please kindly confirm if you can get 4k@60Hz via Mavericks 10.9.3 beta build 13D17 if you have a Haswell rMBP without discrete gpu and a 4k 60Hz monitor.
PS. It is contentious whether Iris and Iris Pro are capable of outputting 4k at the 60Hz refresh rate, despite Haswell 13'' and low-end 15'' rMBPs are equipped with TB2 which is in theory capable of 4k @ 60Hz. Despite this, there seems to be conflicting Intel documentation in this regard. Therefore, at this point, not a document, but a confirmation would be much more reliable.
PS2. If the answer to question 1 is positive but negative to question 2, in my opinion this would still be very important because this will prove that Haswell rMBPs without discrete gpus are capable of 4k @ 60Hz, and that if this is possible with Windows, there is no reason it would not be on Mavericks in the future.

Late 2013 15" rMBP fan noise even on 2D games

Hello,
I have the latest model Apple Macbook Pro 15" with retina display. I'm using the basic model with 8gb ram, 256gb ssd, Haswell i7 cpu with integraded Intel Iris Pro 1gb gpu.
The problem is about the fans. I have never played a game on my mac before two months ago. Since then, when I play the fans get noisy and in a few minutes they start to spin at max rpm about 6000.
I have talked to Apple Customer service and they made me do it sth. like SMC, PRAM etc. However, it didn't fix anything, then I handle my mac to the nearest Apple Store.
They cleaned it and checked the system, according to their said the system works fine. I got it back today and whenever I came, I tried and it happened again.
Just for an instance, I launched "Bridge Constructer Free" game and wait for about 3 minutes. After all, the fans were spinning at over 6000 rpm but meanwhile the system was not hot, it was a bit cool, just about 45 celcius degree.
On the other tasks, like web surfing, playing a full HD video or daily things, it works perfect. I've never heard the fan noise and feel the heat. Otherwise, on nearly every game I played, it happened. Although the system is under 50 celcius degree, the fans used to spin at max rpm.
Also we tried the same thing but it didn't happen on my friend's late 2013 13" rMBP.
This thing really irritates me because it leds to a such noise. Without taking earphones on, I am not able to use the mac comfortably.
Can you help me to solve this issue please?
I'm adding a screenshot below to see the values;

I am not sure of the thermal limit for the haswell processors, but for Intel's previous generation processors installed in the rMBP lineup, the thermal limit was 100C (212F). Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding this could damage the CPU. What software are you using to manually control the fans? I wouldn't recommend manually controlling the fans. Let the internal heat sensors do their thing. Your rMBP will shutdown if the processor reaches dangerous temperatures for extended periods of time. I wouldn't say that this behavior is abnormal given the amount of heat your GPU generates when rendering graphics intensive games. Just make sure to keep the fan vent unobstructed at all times and a cooling pad never hurts.
Uninstall the software you are using to manually control the fans, reset the SMC, test and see if temperatures fall:

Late 2013 13" rMBP Thunderbolt/VTD Issue...

I just recieved my late 2013 13" rMBP and am trying to use a Buffalo HD-PA1.0TU3 external thunderbolt drive with it. The drive works fine on my 2011 Air and 2011 13" MBP, both over thunderbolt. I'm experiencing issues with my new rMBP however when I try to copy any data to/from the drive. The error
vtd[0] fault: device 10:0:0 reason 0x6 R:0x100600000
keeps popping up when I try to copy from or to the drive. At this point the copy operation is hung and only cancels when I remove the thunderbolt cable from the laptop. Occasionally if I leave the drive hooked up and sitting there while the copy operation is hung the laptop screen will go black and remain that way until I remove the thunderbolt cable. Once that happens the screen will immediately turn back on and the laptop will be perfectly usable (except for the whole being able to use my thunderbolt drives.) I've also tested with a Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt drive that works on the 2011 Air and 2011 MBP, but it has the exact same issue as the Buffalo one. Thunderbolt networking however works fine between the rMBP and either my Air or older MBP. I unfortunately don't have anymore thunderbolt peripherals I can test though. Was wondering if anyone has seen this error before? I searched some and all I could find out is that there is some VTD fault happening with device 10:0:0 which is something on the thunderbolt bus according to ioreg (I'm assuming it's the disk drive.)
Thanks!

Late 2013 13' rMBP, Apple uses DDR3 instead of DDR3L?

Hi guys,
Just bought my late 2013 13' rMBP 8g,256 week ago and had 10 times freezes (the first one was in front of an apple employee during the first time initial setup). That's a well known bug so just wait for the updates. The thing is after I browsed my Mac's memory spec it shows Two of the 4g are DDR3, NOT the DDR3L. Do you guys think Apple uses DDR 3 instead of DDR 3L? Or just the stupid mavericks can not recognize DDR 3L memory?
Cheers,
H

Sharepoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow

Hi I am having the next problem, I have a workflow on list B that starts when a new item is created. If I created the item manually the workflow works. Now I have a list A that has a workflow that creates a new item in List B. The problem is that when
de workflow in list A creates the list item in list B the workflow does not start.
I've used an account that is collection owner, an account that only has contribute permision and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Hi Courfeyrak,
Here is another similar post with a workaround, you can try using the event receiver on listB item to start the workflow, when the listB item is created or updated by the workflow associated with listA.

WiFi slower on late 2013 15" rMBP

So yesterday compared SpeedTest.net between my late 2013 15" rMBP and a mid 2012 15" MBP and the new machine is about 50% slower. The WiFi is a Cisco Meraki AP's (2x). Both machines were under two feet apart.
Then last night at home compared the new 15" against one of old 17" MBP's (2012??) and on fibre broadband with the latest Apple Airport Extreme base station and again the new machine was at least 50% slower, testing this time on testmy.net as recommended by an Apple Support engineer, after also flushing DNS as also recommended. And at home, I was the only person on the WiFi at the time.
Have got a Genius Bar appointment later next week, but was just wondering if anybody else has noticed this?

I'm having the exact same issue. I own a Late 2008 MacBook Pro, Late 2011 MacBook Pro, and now the Late 2013 MacBook Pro and of the three only the Late 2013 MacBook Pro demonstrates the lack of WiFI performance. I've tried it with mutliple different wireless networks with Bluetooth turned on and turned off with no noteable difference in levels of performance.
From the quantity of posts I've seen from a simple Google Search, it appears the problem is fairly widespread and really points to an issue with either the WiFi antenna, interferance, or a combination of the two.
I'm planning on opening a Support Case with Apple and I would recommend others do the same in order to get more visibility on the issue.

HT3529 Message Notifications show up in lock mode when screen is on, but not showing on black screen (sleep mode).

My texts show up on my lock screen, but not on my black screen (sleep mode). They used to, but not anymore. I have "show messages in lock screen" turned on, but I don't see any options for sleep mode. I have banners turned on. All settings seem to be correct, but in order to see my messages I need to turn on my screen, which is frustrating b/c then I don't see messages when they are first sent. Any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for the response, but I've tried that and it doesn't work. I have friends and family who have their settings exactly the same as mine (including banner) and they get notifications in their sleep screen. It's all very odd.

New late 2013 MBP Retina not using 802.11ac

Hi, I recently started to use a late 2013 15" Macbook Pro Retina with the newest Time Capsule. However, it's not connecting with 802.11ac. Rather it's using 802.11n. Is there a setting that I need to change to "force" it to use 802.11ac? Of note, I'm using 10.9; I haven't upgraded to 10.9.1 yet.

While booting the apple logo is purple and the the grey screen turn yellow for a second.
