Late-2013 15 inch MBP Retina screen issue (one part whiter than rest, see photo)

Hi all.
I've literally had my new 15-inch mbp for a less than a month (got it Oct. 31, 2013). My screens already jacked up. Looks like the lower right corner of the display has suffered some sort of area-wide color change, so that the area appears white in color than the rest of the screen. I have no idea how this happened. Any thoughts?
It's still under warranty so i'll just take it in, but what could this possibly be?
Thanks

It also seems to be changing shape, and getting a few flecks of the old brightness level over time. Sees second photo taken two hours after the first photo.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input.  I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching.  I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio.  But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack? 

    Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
    You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:

  • My late 2011 15 inch mbp screen shuts down and don't turn on

    My late 2011 15 inch mbp screen shuts down and don't turn on. Sometimes goes down after it gets in the sleep mode but another times it goes down when i'm working on it. The battery lights and the magsafe light still work but the screen doesn't respond, i have to shut down the computer and only after a couple of tries to turn it on i the screen wakes up. Also, sometimes when i turn it on the screen gets fragmented, like in the image. Does anyone have any solution? thanks.

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Late-2013-15-Inch-MBPr Windows8.1 Bootcamp Guide

    After 2 days of debugging BSOD errors I was able to install Windows 8.1 on my Late 2013 15 Inch MacBook Pro Retina.
    So the first thing you need to do is ditch the Bootcamp assistant drivers and download the older drivers from the apple website...
    You can download them here: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640
    The next step is to create your USB Boot Disk through Bootcamp, make sure the format is MSDOS-FAT.
    After your boot disk is created move the downloaded drivers onto that disk and rename the folder to "Windows Drivers."
    Now open Disk Utility.
    Click on the Hard Drive at the top of the list.
    Click Partition at the top of the window.
    Click the "+" on the bottom leftish side of the window.
    Size your partition by dragging the gray bar that separates the two partitions.
    Name the partition, "BootCamp"
    Change the format to, "ExFat."
    Click "Apply."
    Now it's time to install Windows.
    Shut your Mac down.
    Turn it on holding the "Option" key.
    Choose "EFI Boot."
    Follow the on screen instructions until you get to the select disk to install screen.
    Choose the 4th disk partition in the list, and click format (if this is not an option choose new or continue.)
    After Windows is installed and set up go straight to the desktop and click on the folder in the bottom left.
    Click on "This PC." on the left side of the window.
    Now choose your usb storage device and open the folder up that we named "Windows Drivers."
    ****WARNING****
    DO NOT INSTALL THE BOOTCAMP.EXE FILE FROM EITHER THE APPLE FOLDER OR THE MAIN FOLDER.
    Now select the drivers folder, and install all drivers from the Apple folder EXCEPT for the BootCamp driver.
    Install all drivers from the "Intel" folder except for the graphics driver.
    Install all drivers from the "Marvell" folder.
    Install the "NvidiaProgess.exe" from the "Nvidia" folder only if you have a dedicated video card.
    Install the "BroadcomWireless64" driver from the "Broadcom" folder.
    Install all "Realtek" drivers.
    Install "Asix" Drivers.
    Install "Cirrus" Drivers.
    Install "Atheros" Drivers.
    The rest of the drivers are optional, but once again stay away from the BOOTCAMP.EXE files.
    So at this point your Mac should be running Windows just fine, and you should not have any blue screen errors, but your trackpad may not be working with right clicks.
    To get right clicks working follow the instructions on this website. http://trackpad.powerplan7.com/installation_instructions.htm (be sure to reboot between both installations)
    If you have an Nvidia graphics card your screen may not be as bright as with the non dedicated GPU. These settings can be adjusting in the "Windows Control Panel," under "Display Settings."
    Congratulations you now have all of the features working on your Mac in Windows, and you can use all of the features of Windows.

    Once more:
    It is entirely unsupported by Apple, (which makes it a hack).
    I don't really care what your opinion is, I have no idea if you have a clue what you are doing, but I do know that Apple does
    Have a nice day
    EFI booting has several advantages.
    1. No fragile hybrid MBR. Even Apple's Disk Utility does not recognize it and does not keep it in sync.
    2. No CSM-BIOS layer which makes the boot faster.
    3. Partitions are GPT and hence can be expanded/shrunk.
    4. Windows 8.x supports (U)EFI.
    5. Apple Support for Bootcamp is limited anyway.

  • 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?
    Reminder - Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro 11,1 retina display mac
    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.

  • My 15" MBP Retina screen has strange lines

    Hi,
    So I just noticed that my 4 month old 15" MBP Retina has this strange thin white line and another white mark that's sort of like a bigger 'cluster'. I'm not sure how long it's been there, I thought the screen was just smudged and I was watching a movie, and I began to think hold on, this is in every scene, maybe it's the movie. So I turned the movie off and realised it was there for good.
    I'm really bad at noticing these things but now I've noticed it I can't not see it and it is bugging me and I'm wondering how long it's been there for. I've read that the MBP Retina has a little bit of an issue with dead pixels, and i'm wondering if this is the case. Has anyone had experiences with taking it into Apple? I am really frustrated and hope that they fix it because I paid 2 and a half grand for this computer and I shouldn't have to put up with it!
    I took a screenshot but it didn't seem to capture it (which makes me wonder if it's dead pixel issues of not) so here's a photo I took with my iPhone.

    actually I want to add that I tried my nexus 5 too, and its the same issue, it turns the macbook off , not the screen,
    you can try it. there are a spot on the left side below the speaker line, next to fn key.

  • I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina, should i upgrade to Mavericks? Or will it run slower?

    Hi, I bought a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina  display and I want to know if I should upgrade to mavericks since I don't want to make it slower, is it worth it?

    angie.ob,
    if your MacBook Pro is non-Retina, then the newest model that it could be is a Mid 2012.
    The worth of upgrading to Mavericks depends entirely upon your priorities. What is it about having Mavericks on your MacBook Pro that appeals to you? If Mavericks in its current incarnation makes your MacBook Pro run more slowly, do you have a plan by which you can easily go back to Mountain Lion?

  • Persisting crashes with brand new iMac late-2013 27-inch (14,2)

    Please help!!!
    Last week I purchased the latest iMac late-2013 (14,2) 27 inch with everything top range directly from the Apple Online Store. My configuration in a nutshell is the iMac (of course) with wireless keyboard and magic mouse, attached to it through Thunderbolt a LaCie 5Big (10TB) external drive as well as a USB connected WD MyBook (2TB) for Time Machine and a USB3 connected WD MyPassport (2TB) for those files I want to keep mobile between my devices, all of this on OSX 10.9.1. Futher details on the hardware below:
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac14,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          3.5 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          8 MB
      Memory:          32 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          IM142.0118.B00
      SMC Version (system):          2.15f2
    My problem is that it keeps crashing... sometimes while doing some Final Cut X or Logic Pro X but other times while simply copying files between hard disks while Time Machine is running and everything else is closed... I can't figure out what the root cause or the particular event that triggers the crashes, thus they are quite unexpected and pretty abrupt - no warning signs at all.
    I read in some of the threads that the 3rd party RAM may cause some problems but my 32Gb RAM came directly from Apple as configured while purchasing.
    Here is the latest report my system gave me and I know some of you folks are pretty good figuring out what these messages mean. I will most likely get in touch with Apple support but before I do, I wanted to check with you geniuses before I spend hours on the phone with Apple support. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Oh. You didn't 'splain that. In this case here's a suggestion for a start:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    You may want to do a hardware test to determine if there is a hardware failure:

  • Cannot connect between a Mac Pro (late 2013) and a MBP and vice versa

    Cannot connect to Macbook Pro from Mac Pro late 2013. I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can screen share either way. 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 definitely correct however.
    I have no firewall on. Both devices are using the most recent OS.
    Thanks in advance

  • Late 2013 15 inch Refurb Macbook Pro CPU Temperature

    Hi All,
            Three days ago, I bought a refurb 15 inch Macbook Pro from apple online store. Since day 1 CPU temperature are extremely high. I have seen my Mac hitting 99 degree Celsius. This temperature was attained while I was just browsing internet on chrome and simultaneously transferring my photos from my external drive to iphoto. Also, just watching videos on youtube kicks the temperature to 75-80 degree Celsius. Idle temperature are somewhere around 45-50 degree Celsius. I don't know if this is normal and if such high temperature affects the life span of my mac. I got it checked at an apple store and their diagnostic test for cooling system found no issues. I don't know if I should return this and just buy a new one. My Mac configuration is-
    Originally released October 2013
    15.4-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch

    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage
    720p FaceTime HD camera
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics
    Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    use safari, its much better than chrome.
    Safari uses way less resources than chrome (RAM, CPU power and battery)
    if the problem continues, contact apple support

  • MacBook Pro Late 2013 13 inch & games like Minecraft.

    Hey, I'm just wondering if the MacBook Pro Late 2013 - Mid range 13inch laptop will handle games like Minecraft on high at 60fps? I'll also be using the machine for video/photo editing. Thank you.

    That should easily be possible. You would get up to 100 on the lowest spec model (13 inch, 4gb ram, quad core i5 2.4ghz processors, intel iris integrated graphics)

  • MBP retina screen flicker black?

    Hello, after doing so much research and feels like getting no answer I decided to post on this forum, I hope I will get any answer
    so I own a new MBP retina 15", it just came last week and I just start really using it yesterday. When I was working with photoshop i notice sometimes random black flicker will just flashes out in a milisecond. It doesnt happen only once but numerous times, a restart doesn't fix it.
    Sadly I can't provide any screenshot here because it just randomly happen & gone so fast.
    Anyone knows why and how to fix it? I'm pretty sad to find this problem in a really newly bought product

    thank you for the reply, CT.
    my flickering is not as bad as the one on the video, but still it annoys me because it's something like black long bar flashing.
    so.. looks like this issue is going to be (maybe) fixed by bringing it to the store....?

  • 21.5 inch iMac yellow screen issue

    I have a late 2012 iMac (21.5inch). I thought 21.5 models were immune to this issue, but I noticed bottom half of the screen is showing some yellow tint compared to upper half. I thought it was due to the angle of the screen and lighting in my room but that changed when I put my MacBook pro right next to my iMac. Compared to my mid 2009 MacBook Pro, the iMac's screen has a definite yellower time to it..
    How much will it cost to replace the screen to eliminate the yellow tint? Please, no replies about taking my iMac to Apple store or calling them. I've already called several different Apple stores, and they have no idea. And please, no Applecare answers or "expensive" answers. I just want exact numbers.

    The in-store inspection, product specialist or in-house expert, then technical testing to diagnose the exact cause of the issue, then if done in-house, a repair sequence initiated with an open estimate on what replacement parts would actually be needed, could alter the original best-guess somewhat.
    A simple backlight or inverter issue may be all that is causing the symptom. Nobody can simply give you a base price of one size fits all. They will not just 'replace a display' since the panel is more than just one part. If a voltage variation is the cause of partial tint or backlight color, then that will be part of the inspection and diagnosis; this may be in a shop for weeks.
    Please stick to one question on the same topic
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5919757?tstart=0
    You appear to have an issue with Apple, so there are
    a few good links to their main web site. You can go
    and Locate an authorized service nearby, contact an
    Apple authorized representative, etc, there. We who
    reply here have no direct connection, nor do we have
    any authority, cannot cite prices or give quotes, etc.
    And our time is our own, individually. We're not Apple.
    You will have to contact Apple. You have a computer.
    I will not do that for you, from my residence, half a
    world away where I have no more access to a Store
    than a moose, or a ptarmigan, outside my door.
    Good luck.

  • MBP Retina display issue

    The best way of explaining my issue is with a picture. As you can see the image on the left has issues with orange, almost like a sunburst effect? The [icture on the right is normal and okay.
    The left is on a brand new, newly opened MBP Retina 15" and the right is on an old 17" MBP I've had for years. I did nothing to the retina, haven't changed any settings, this is new out the box. I looked at calibration settings etc but it's all on default.
    I really have no idea what's going on!! Does anyone have any ideas or should I take my newly delivered MBP back the the Applestore for a genius appointment?

    I have the same problem with my MacBook Retina 13... my LG monitor loose signal. Please help!
