Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains

Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains, getting worse.
I am always very carefully with my mac, still the display always looks smudged. Even when I just close the lid, for transport, I have like the keyboard printed on my display when I open it again. Now I discovered more and more light spots which can't be wiped of at all.
There is obviously a problem with these retina displays.
I am very disappointed I have to say. I'm out of warranty but I can't believe that I pay € 2.600,- and get a display like that!
Please Apple, do something…

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

    My late 2013 MBP Retina battery gets only about 4 hrs. What might be wrong?

    I found a solution!
    Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
    Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/120259/grey-screen-after-login-blue-scr een-of-death-from-cmdr
    As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
    1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
    2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
    3. Next was a restart.
    4. Then my display started working again.
    5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
    6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
    Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
    I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
    I hope this helps the next person.

  • Can I upgrade memory/SSD on late 2013 MBP retina?

    I have late 2013 MBP retina, 2.4 ghz, 11,1., basic 4GB and 125GB. I checked with OWC and they yet to have any solutions to upgrade. Am I stuck with this? Wanting to do some video editing and afraid I'll be bogged down.

    No. Neither are user-upgradeable in that model. What makes you feel you will be bogged down? If you need more disk space just add an external USB drive. You should have sufficient RAM if you don't try to run far too many applications concurrently for the memory installed.

  • I have an apple macbook pro late 2013 15" retina display crashing on me when i am connected to an external display?

    I got the following message after the crash, it happens a few times a day, my system is the base with 16gb ram late 2013 15" macbook pro retina.  it only happens when i am connected to an external display, I do have a converter from vga to displayport.  also, i run 4 different browsers in incognito mode as i do web testing and also have about 30 tabs open and excel and a few other apps open, not sure if this is what makes it happen or if it is the external display?  it is under warranty, so if you see anything below that may relate to the hardware i can bring it in and get it fixed.

  • Late 2013 MBP Retina - vertical lines

    I have vertical thin colored lines showing on the left side of my display (13.3" MacBook Pro with Retina screen).
    Getting progressively worse with additional lines and colors.  Never had this before, mac was sleeping and fully charged, opened the lid and noticed the lines. The lines get worse if I press the screen. Afaik it's not due to any abuse or damage. Screen does not show any physical damage or cracks.
    Ran a Diagnostic test but no errors. Also when I take a screenshot of my current screen, the screenshot does NOT show the lines. So must not be the graphics card...? Any ideas..? Will take it in tomorrow to Apple Store, but really bummed about this...
    Mac Book Pro Retina (late 2013), Mac OS X Yosemite.

    Hi SanCuracao,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro. Based on your description and the attached pics, it would certainly appear that you have some sort of hardware issue with the display panel on your MacBook Pro. If you haven't already, you would want to make sure you take it in to have it evaluated and serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

  • 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.

  • SSD Upgrade on Late 2013 MBP Retina

    I would like to upgrade my SSD on my macbook pro retina late 2013 model it has 512 in it currently and I want to goto 1TB I know its $500 I am willing to pay the difference but apple is saying its is soldered on the logic board. Which clearly is not true. I got my laptop at bestbuy because my old one broke and bestbuy replaced it with a newer model. I would of gotten it from apple but I had to get it from BestBuy since they replaced it.

    Thanks for your reply. I may not have been clear enough in my post; OWCs SSDs will NOT work in the late 2013 MacBook Pros (they've clarified their website product description to make that abundantly clear); the newest MacBook Pros use PCIe controllers, both for the SSD interface and for the SDXC slot; the 2012 and early 2013 MacBook Pros use SATA; the two are NOT interchangeable, and OWC doesn't make ANY SSD cards that will work in the newest MacBook Pros (yet).
    Of course, that's not relevant for the OP, who has a late 2013 MacBook Pro and wants a bigger SSD. My reply to "helpme05" was intended to suggest to him that there may BE such a product from OWC in the future, because iFixIt's teardown of the newest MacBook Pros shows that the SSD still plugs into a (mecahnically and logically different from that on the 2012 and early 2013 machines) motherboard socket.
    Your response DID clear up my misunderstanding of why OWC's SSD maxes out at 480 GB; they're using the more conservative estimate of size (base 2 vs base 10), contrasting with Apple's measurement rubric. So, OWC's 480 GB is the same size as OWC's 512 GB unit.
    I'm sure you've heard the joke: "There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't."

  • Unreplicable WLAN issues on late 2013 MBP Retina

    Hi all,
    I've been having a very strange issue with my MacBook's wifi at home. The issue exists only at home, and only on my machine. All other devices (multiple other iPads, iPhones, windows/mac computers, AppleTV, XBOX) function without any issues on our wifi network, and my machine works fine on any other network. So again, only my laptop, only at home.
    Basically my MacBook will drop the connection. It has always been an issue but it seems to be getting worse. After pinging my gateway 100 times i got a 76.8% packet loss rate. It seems to connect briefly occasionally, and sometimes will run for up to 20 minutes before it happens again.
    We have replaced our router, as well as our Airport Express unit, bu none of these solutions have helped, reinforcing the probability of it being isolated to my laptop.
    An authorised Apple reseller told me it's a known software issue which Apple doesn't have an update for, meaning there's nothing I can do about it since software isn't covered by Apple Care. The Apple Store however is convinced that it's our network.
    I have had some of the following suggestions:
    Switch router to Bridge Mode
    Try creating a new user profile on the mac
    Try reinstalling OSX
    Using static IPs on all devices used at home
    Have any of you had the same issue? What are your thoughts on the above solutions? Have any you solved it?

    Thanks for your reply. I may not have been clear enough in my post; OWCs SSDs will NOT work in the late 2013 MacBook Pros (they've clarified their website product description to make that abundantly clear); the newest MacBook Pros use PCIe controllers, both for the SSD interface and for the SDXC slot; the 2012 and early 2013 MacBook Pros use SATA; the two are NOT interchangeable, and OWC doesn't make ANY SSD cards that will work in the newest MacBook Pros (yet).

  • WHY is Safari failing to load pages on my late 2013 MBP retina?

    I have the latest OS and Safari on my machine.  Safari is not usable.  Every now and then, I can go to a web page in a reasonable amount of time but, more often, the page either doesn't load (the blue shading in the address bar stops after about an inch and freezes) or the page takes several minutes to load. This computer is too new to be having these kinds of issues.....
    I know the next step (according to Apple support) is to reinstall the OS, which I will do once back up is complete.  Here's what I've done previously, to no avail:  confirmed that there are no extensions, reset Safari multiple times, deleted the plist file from the Library, repaired disk permissions, shut down, restarted, restarted in safe mode, etc.  Regarding the repair permissions - there is always a Safari permission that needs to be repaired. Same one every time.  Not that repairing permissions was a fix.....
    I am hoping the reinstall works but I'm frustrated that this is happening on a new, very expensive computer.  I want to understand what the root cause is....any ideas about what is broken and how it got broken?  Thanks.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
    Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Can I upgrade my RAM/Flash Storage on my late 2013 13" retina display macbook pro?

    I had just purchased my first macbook  on Christmas and it came on January 3, 2014. I realized that I only had 128GB of flash storage and 4GB of RAM. Now I am wondering if I can upgrade to 8GB of ram and 256GB (for future purposes)? If so, how much will it cost? If not, what do you recommend to save/gain flash storage?

    If you exchange it, the Apple Store will assist you in migrating your data. Just, obviously, make sure to ask before the actual exchange occurs. You can alternatively make a Time Machine backup of your current machine and use Set-up assistant on the new machine.
    The cost of flash storage/GB is dropping rapidly, but you are so much better off exchanging it if you are still able too. Most importantly, the new PCIe based flash storage for your model has not yet surfaced outside Apple. So, currently, 1) it wouldn't make sense to perform this upgrade, 2) you can't, to my knowledge.

  • Macbook (late 2013) 13" retina display battery problem

    I recently bought a macbook from BH photo & video, around november. I used it basically everyday since, but I noticed that my battery was very short. Like for normal use (minimal browsing, youtube, etc) the battery percent goes from 100 to 83 within just 30 minutes. At 100%, the indicator says I only have 4 hours of battery left. Is this normal? If it isn't... are all macbooks covered under 1 year warranty? Because I want to bring it to the apple store to get it checked out just in case. The only thing that comes up to mind as a cause of this is that I leave it plugged in when I'm using it, but only because I use it as a desktop. Either way, I heard that leaving it plugged in won't hurt because the battery automatically stops charging once it reaches to 100%.

    A new Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
    A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

  • Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

    Flash Player won’t install after downloading
    On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
    I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
    Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
    So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
    I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
    If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
    Sincerely.

  • Best way to set up two thunderbolt displays and thunderbolt ethernet on a Late 2013 MBP with only 2 thunderbolt ports?

    I have a late 2013 MBP with only 2 thunderbolt ports. I want to set up two external displays (both have usb ports on the back but not thunderbolt so I can't daisy-chain) but one of my thunderbolt ports is being taken up by the ethernet adapter. Is it possible to convert one of my displays to plug into my open HDMI slot? Or is it better to use the two thunderbolt ports for the two displays and switch the ethernet to the slower usb adapter?

    You can use a HDMI to DVI adapter if the display resolution is not greater than 1920 x 1200.
    <http://startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/HDMI/>
    or you could use wireless for your network connection.

    If you use 5GHz, it should be nearly as fast as Ethernet.

  • Difference between late-2012 and early-2013 mbp retina 13"?

    I just bought the early-2013 mbp retina from the refurbished section of the mac site.
    It seems to be v. difficult to get detailed info on this model. Most web queries about aspects of this model bring up info on the late-2012 model.
    Is this some sort of freak model that was a limited run?
    One of the main reasons I ask is that I have a 512gb SSD, and I'm looking to replace it with the 768gb SSD module. The SSD module I am looking to buy advertises itself as being compatible with the late-2012, but no mention of early-2013.
    The late-2012 and early-2013 share the same model number (A1425), should I assume they carry the same architecture under the hood?
    **Before you reply**
    - Yes, I know I'm not supposed to open the computer, might void the warranty etc.
    - No, I didn't have the option of the 768gb SSD when I bought it, it was already assembled. I got it cheap.
    - Yes, I am aware that SSD upgrade is an expensive option.
    - Yes, I am aware I can store additional data on an external HDD.
    - Yes, I am aware I can boot from a higher capacity external HDD.
    - No, I don't want to know about alternative options, just the one outlined in the original query.
    Thanks.

    didvid.s,
    the technical specifications for the two models are here and here. Contrast and compare them to your heart’s content.

  • I have a MBP retina display, early 2013, 512GB SSD storage& I want to upgrade it into a 768GB SSD storage, would that be possible WITHOUT replacing my current storage disks with the new 768GB ?keeping the 512GB&only adding a 256 GB disk?! please advise (:

    The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
    Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
    You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
    Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase
