Late 2013 rMBP 13" 802.11ac problem

I've got a brand new 13" Retina MacBook Pro 13" (the 512GB i5 model)...and after a rather strong showing at first, it falls absolutely flat when attempting to connect to the 5GHz side of my wireless router.
Specifically, this:
  Current Network Information:
yannnet 5G:
  PHY Mode:          802.11ac
  BSSID:          10:fe:ed:xx:xx:xx
  Channel:          149
  Country Code:          US
  Network Type:          Infrastructure
  Security:          WPA2 Personal
  Signal / Noise:          -56 dBm / -92 dBm
  Transmit Rate:          27
  MCS Index:          1
As you can see, this isn't a weak signal problem. In fact, I've got multiple other devices (mid-2009 MacBook, 27" 2011 iMac, Nexus 5, iPad third-gen) that connect to that network just fine, whether at 11ac speeds (the Nexus 5, at a full 433 Mbps since it only has one antenna) or at 11n speeds (for all other devices).
2.4GHz appears to have sporadic issues as well, but it's better than 5GHz. Ethernet via a USB 3.0 adapter seems to work fine.
I've got Mac OS X 10.9.2 installed. Any idea what's going on here? I've cleared preference plist files etc., and that only seems to help for a minute or two.

Go ahead an exchange it for a different machine - 95% health is just not acceptable for a new machine.

  • Does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?

    does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?
    I am wiping my current windows bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows using disk utility /bootcamp wizard to clean up and reinstall.
    just curious if the Thunderbolt drivers get installed from bootcamp/windows sofytware update as I can't remember iif i had to do it manually before. I do see it shows up on windows side in device manager and if it is pluggged in during boot screen (to windows 7 pro 64 bit) shows ASMedia drivers being loaded for it.
    Thanks

    thank you so much I was pretty sure it did but wanted to be 100% sure as purpose of clean install was to clean up some mishaps I did with office 2007 (custom install), etc.
    Many Thanks

  • Does Macbook air late 2011 work at 802.11ac

    I have Macbook Air late 2011 does it work with Airport Extreme 802.11ac

    No it doesn't. MacBook Air's after June of 2013 do. Here is more on Apple devices that support 802.11ac.

  • HT202856 Mac Pro Late 2013 and Samsung 4k monitor problem

    I have the new Samsung 28" 4k screen (U28D590D) and it has tearing along the right edge when used with displayport. Any way to fix that? I tried different cables (all DisplayPort 1.2 complient) to be sure and have narrowed the issue to the Mac Pro. The HDMI works fine tho only @30hz so is a bit laggy in normal interaction. There is no way to turn on Multi-stream as indicated and I hope it isnt that this screen will never work.

    nMP(late 2013) can't change graphic card...
    I also have a problem when using the AMD card on My Mac Pro (Mid2012) OSX 10.9.3,
    however, Windows(Bootcamp) OR with Nvidia GTX 760 4K 60hz OSX, Windows both working very well.
    Probably... AMD OSX driver issue..

  • 2013 MBA with 802.11ac won't choose 5GHz even when faster

    I have a 2013 MBA and new (802.11ac) Airport Extreme.  With the base station in dual mode (2.4 and 5.2 networks sharing same SSID), the MBA refuses to connect to the 5GhZ network most of the time, even when very close to basestation.  This is annoying for wireless Time Machine backups and other high-throughput use cases (files copies to/from network are another).  Without moving computer, when I set basestation to use diff name for 5GHz network and then manually select it, transfer speeds go from ~12MB/sec to >40MB/sec (impressive!). 
    Using iStumbler, I see that the 2.4GHz network indeed shows "better" signal levels, BUT IN THE REAL WORLD the 5GHz link is MUCH faster.  What's up with that?
    I'd like to go back to dual-mode just for elegance and simplicity.   Plus, it seems like a bug.
    My question is:  Can I force the MBA to always link to 5GHz network, or at least its propensity to pick it despite 2.4GHz link (falsely) appearing to be better?
    Thanks!

    I actually install large wireless networks professionally, so maybe I can help clear up a few misconceptions.
    To the original poster, there really isn't a way at this point to force the MBA to select the 5.0GHz network, but this really isn't a "bug" of the MBA.  It's really a missing feature from the AirPort.
    Your assumptions on how the client device works are correct.  They select the band based on the signal strength (basically Signal to Noise Ratio [SNR]).  This is actually a function of the NIC itself and is based in the hardware.  Since the vast majority of client NIC cards are manufactured by a couple of companies, it will probably take them a while to change the operation, and for marketing reasons, I don't know if they want to at this point.
    The vast majority of people that I encounter every day don't understand that there's more to wireless performance than signal strength.  They look at the corner of their device and say, "I have 4 bars, look at how great my network is.  Yeah, it's a little slow, but that's just how wireless is".  Companies that sell consumer wireless access points are able to say "Cover your house with a single device".  I really think that the lack of consumer awareness is what causes trouble for those of us (like the original poster) that understand that there's more to it than that.  Even OS-X falls into this marketing bubble.  Why do I have to hold down Alt and click on the wireless icon to actually see performance data?  In my opinion, the icon should be the Transmit Rate as a number and I hold Alt to see the RSSI when I need to troubleshoot, but that would scare most people.  For these marketing reasons, I don't think that you will find client devices selecting 5.0GHz by default until 802.11ac really gains in popularity.
    The other option, which wouldn't require a tremendous amount of work on Apple's part is a feature that many enterprise wireless manufacturers refer to as "Band Steering".  Basically, the AP (AirPort Base Station) will ask the client for its capabilities.  Once it knows that the client is 5GHz capable, it pushes the client over to that frequency and there isn't anything that the client can do about it.  If I knew how, I would be requesting that feature as an advanced option of the AirPort product line.  That way, those of us that really care about wireless performance are able to get it without having to hack through and broadcast a 2.4GHz network that will basically be unusable in the coming years since the new wireless standard is 5.0GHz only.

  • Corestorage - late 2013 rMBP - 500 ssd

    A few days ago I got a new 2TB HDD and decided I should move my BOOTCAMP from my internal SSD to the HDD since I have more space there.
    I opened diskUtil, erased the bootcamp partition, then made a big 500GB Mac OS Exteneded one .. all good, but my mac was starting to get really, really slow and would freeze every other 10 minutes depending on what I was doing.
    I was running OSX 10.10.4 beta. I went to the Mac App Store and decided to download Yosemite 10.10.3 and reinstall, I thought all the problems are because I am running the beta. Anyway, I clicked on the install but it freezes with 18 minutes remaining ... lets say it only loads 2-3%.
    I have been trying desperately to find a solution to this for the past couple of days.
    I can't boot to Recovery HD while holding option and then selection Recovery HD .. it freezes at about 90% loading.
    If I hold CMD+R sometimes it boots into Recovery sometimes not.
    The only way to go is Internet Recovery. I have a Thunderbolt to ethernet cable so it is pretty quick. Now the tricky part.
    I log into Internet Recovery, go to Disk Utility and see my 500 SSD, but all options are greyed out ! I can't do anything. The SSD is listed there for around 2 minutes and then it disapears. If I click on information under Disk Utility it says it's CoreStorage !!!!
    If I move quickly and go to terminal I can see the SSD on a "diskutil list" command but after that I can't see it anymore, it completely dissapears.
    If I perform a "disk cs list" it says I don't have any CoreSorage devices ...
    I can't delete resize ...bring it back to HFS+ no matter what I do.
    I've currently installed Yosemite on the external 2TB hard drive and it works ok ..but pretty slow.
    Please help me ...
    Macbook Pro Retina late 2013 - 15 inch - i7 - 500 PCIe SSD, 15gb Ram, nVidia 2gb
    Please don't advise me to go to the Apple Store because there is none around me ..

    I have already tried that, installed OSX on an external HDD and works, but it doesn't recognize my internal SSD under Disk Utility or elsewhere.
    I am now in Recovery HD and this is what I am seeing
    It's odd that if I let the macbook boot without hitting any key goes directly to 10.10.4 ...
    It's unbelievable it doesn't show up my 500 internal SSD ..Macintosh HD

  • MBP late 2013 i7 2.3gHZ restart problems and major input lags

    Since I've updated my MBP i7 2.3 Ghz late 2013 to OSX Yosemite (10.10.1) I can't restart the macbook with my promise harddrive and apple cinema display still connected via thunderbolt. When I restart it keeps hanging on the grey screen without the apple logo. When I unplug the thunderbolt and usb cable, hold down the power button and turn it back it everything is fine. Just the restart won't work.. Any ideas?
    Further more, I receive major input lags in different programs. For example I use Final Cut Pro (10.1.3) a lot for my job. I use managed media library all stored on the promise harddrive via thunderbolt. The footage I use is raw of the SD card from a Nikon D800 (h2.64 mov), of course i let everything import first before editing. Though I get major input lags (0,5-1,5 sec) when pressing the spacebar to play for example. Ive used this workflow exactly the same on my previous MBP (17" late 2011 I think) without any lags.
    Specs of my MBP:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    Storage 512 GB SSD
    Hope anyone can help me.

    Your original configuration is an HDD. Have you considered replacing it with an SSD. It helps quite a bit.
    The current 2013 (and now the 2014) MBPs are excellent machines, and can run Bootcamp via native EFI (Win 8/8.1 - Win7 has some driver challenges), rather than the CSM-BIOS layer and you will get very good performance. I would recommend a 16GB MBP. If you do a lot of external display work, dual GPUs may work better for you.
    I use the TB-to-FW for accessing external disks, not sound cards, but the storage works fine. This machine can support 8GB RAM, which may also be worth considering.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina battery problems?

    Most of the time my rMBP seems to be running normally and I'm getting all day battery life and CPU temperature is always around 30 degrees C. But recently I noticed that when I'm using it before I go to sleep and I watch a movie on VLC, the CPU temperature goes to around 60 degrees C and the battery or the time predicted drops significantly. I remember Apple saying that I should still be able to get around 9 hours watching movies and I could watch the entire batman trilogy on one charge. Is the problem to do with VLC, that is using a lot of CPU or something else?
    Thanks, I appreciate all the help.
    Nate

    You're missing my point. I know that watching movies is more intensive than web browsing and maybe the problem is to do with VLC.
    When I watch a movie through quick time I still have an estimated 6h26m remaining with 65% battery left. In comparison when I watch a movie on VLC it showed around 3h left with the same amount of battery left.
    Also, I'm not sure if this is to do with VLC or if it was a coincidence, but my CPU was at around 30% (system) and the temperature doubled.

  • Having a MBPr late 2013 and having a sound problem the sound does not come tom the headphones even its all the way up and when i remove the headphones it docent come out the internal speaker either ? any idea how i fix this?

    the sound do not come out the headphones sometimes altho its all the way up in the setting and when i remove the headphones the sound doesnt come from the internal speaker either and only a reboot fixes the problem and thats annoying! any idea how tto fix this?

    Hello. I've been able to play sound without problems through headphones or external speakers to date - the output always switched to these automatically until today. Now, sound output continues through internal speakers even if I plug in headphones or external speakers.
    - I tested the headphones and speakers on other devices: they work fine.
    - When I plug in headphones or speakers into the audio output port (I have verified that I'm not using the input jack) the devices are not detected and are not listed under the output tab in system preferences-sound.
    I concluded from this that I probably had a problem with the audio port, so to test that I tried the following. I plugged a powered multi-USB device with ports for microphone line-in and headphone line-out into the USB port and switched it on. I verified that it was working by plugging a USB stick into the multi-USB device - this was recognised successfully, so the device was clearly working. I then plugged in headphones and speakers into the audio line-out on the multi USB device - but still no sound came through them (and tey were not listed among output devices) and the Mac continued using internal speakers.
    What should I do? Does the latter test suggest that the problem does not lie with the audio port, or is my test not conclusive? What would you advise?
    Many thanks indeed!

  • Late 2013 iMac 27 inch screen problems

    My screen has many marks on the screen which look a bit like rain globules.   They are particularly noticable when the screen is dark and is a particular nuisance when editing video and photographs.
    I have only tried wiping them off with  a lens cleaning cloth as I am reluctant to risk damaging the screen.
    Any ideas or is this a screen problem on this latest iMac screen.

  • 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.

  • Late 2013 13"MBP-Shutdown Problem

    I was having shutdown problems with my Late 2013 MBP 13"-the MBP would go to the gray screen and the small pinwheel would progress to different hash marks every 3-5 seconds, the machine would not shutdown at all, it was stalled, so I called Apple and we trouble shot. During our troubleshooting adventure it dawned on me that the problem could be related to my Antivirus Software-Intego. So I went ahead and disabled the real-time scanner and...viola, it shutdown with no problem. So I am letting people know that as of currently, Intego's real time scanner could cause issues during shutdown. I placed it on a scheduled scan and placed everything else on; no issues now.
    So my only question would be; I have the same antivirus software on my early 2012 15" MBP with no issues. Though, I do remember having very slow shutdowns for sometime and then it seemed to resolve itself. The major difference in these two machines appears to be, besides the retina displays, the mechanical HDD vs SSD. My 15" (early 2012) has two Mech. HDD while the new 13" has of course SSD. I am thinking the antivirus software isn't handling the SSD appropriately.
    Any-how, I just wanted to give a quick (though detailed) heads up.

    OK, I messed around with this issue over the weekend. Here's what I did:
    1. Used iPad 3 until I have run battery down to about 50%
    2. Plug in to left USB port on Late 2013 rMBP. Battery icon starts displaying "flip-flop" behavior.
    3. Replug into right side USB....no problem, all behaving well.
    4. Tried plugging in my iPhone 4s into same cable on left USB port, no problem.
    5. Replug iPhone into right side USB....again no problem, all behaving well.
    Here's where it got interesting:
    6. Exchange charging cable for a newer cable with the smaller-sized 30-pin dock connector.
    7. Plug iPad into left USB port...and viola! Battery charging icon is steady...no "flip-flop"!
    8. Replug into right side USB....no problem there either, all seems normal.
    I have no idea what's going on, but this seemed to have solved prolem. BTW, the older cable, when plugged into wall charger, charges the iPad just fine.
    Hope this helps someone else with this problem.

  • Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro - Backlit Keyboard Problems

    Hello!
    I've recently been having an issue with my late 2013 rMBP and the backlit keyboard not turning on. When I press the F5 and F6 buttons to increase or decrease the brightness of my keyboard, the keyboard light icon appears on my screen and it shows that it is increasing/decreasing, but my keyboard doesn't actually do anything.
    I have checked my keyboard preferences and I have turned off "Adjust Keyboard Brightness in low light", so that can't be the problem. I've restarted my laptop and it's still this way.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, if it's common, or if there's a way to fix it?

    Try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, take it to the Genius Bar. You're under warranty.

  • RMBP late 2013 - Random Crashes

    Hi.
    My late 2013 rMBP is having random crashes, and it looks like it is graphic card related:
    It happens randomly when
    - Opening Launchcontrol with the trackpad gesture
    - Scrolling content in safari
    - System events that require zoom
    - Booting up: sometimes it freezes while in the apple logo screen, but most of them happen when the apps are loading up.
    When recovering from the crashes, sometimes the keyboard settings change, it loads the american layout
    There is no time associated with the crashes, it is random. It can crash 10 straight times and then stay one entire day without it.
    There are no kernel panics, only system freezes and it unable to unfreeze unless pressing power button.
    Reset of SMC and PRAM didn't solve, neither did fix permissions and repair disk.
    Any suggestion?

  • Late 2013 Keyboard / Trackpad still unresponsive AFTER EFI 1.3 update

    I thought I would start a new thread / discussion since the previous thread here seems to be riddled with "install the update" suggestions and off topic assistance such as battery life questions. I have also logged detailed information regarding this issue on my professional blog here.
    Anyway, here is a short, condensed version of my story. I have had two brand new late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro's with the 2.4/16GB/256 configuration. Since the config I chose is a CTO, this problem has been going on since the day the first model arrived (December 10th, 2013). The EFI update was preinstalled on both systems and I can verify that because the boot ROM version is MBP111.0138.B03 (the boot rom prior to the update ended in B00 or B01). I am also an AASP and an ACMT meaning that I am certified and employed with a company that allows me to fix all Apple hardware under warranty. I am well-versed in technology and Apple hardware and I have never seen anything quite like this.
    Here is the quick summary of things I have attempted and I have been able to re-recreate the issue:
    The system will not mount the root device when I boot via a known good external hard drive running 10.9.1. Verbose mode and Single user mode reports a still waiting for root device error.
    The system (rMBP) will not boot from another system (late 2011 MacBook Pro 13") when said system (late 2011 MacBook Pro) pushed into target disk mode via thunderbolt.
    My system, rMBP, will boot up with the internal SSD but will not allow the keyboard and track pad to function. The caps lock key will not illuminate. The keyboard and track pad will work OUTSIDE of 10.9.1, however. I have installed a clean internet recovery version of Mavericks over 4 times.
    If I put my system, rMBP, into target disk mode and connect to any other computer via thunderbolt and boot it on the other Apple systems, the operating system running on the internal SSD of the rMBP will work just fine -- keyboard and mouse included (again, as a target disk mode thunderbolt connection to another host).
    If I use a remote agent to connect to my rMBP such as LogMeIn or vnc, the keyboard and mouse will work just fine from the remote system which leaves me to beleive that this is not a software issue nor is it fully a hardware issue since the keyboard and mouse work outside of mavericks.
    I believe we are still dealing with a firmware issue here. It took several tries to create a bootable device for the late 2013 rMBP since NONE of my other up-to-date and verified working external drives will boot but I finally created a bootable USB stick. When I run the system from the USB stick, the keyboard and trackpad will work but if I touch the keyboard and / or trackpad in 5 second intervals, I will receive the following error:

    I had actually created a system log query to search for the above. The search string includes "the USB " and any entry after 1/1/2014. The above error should only present itself when waking an Apple system from sleep and instead it happens on every touch after, at least, a 5 second period of non-use.
    When I remote into the system using LogMeIn, VNC or even use an application called ShareMouse which shares the keyboard and mouse of my Windows system with any other computer on the network presuming they have ShareMouse also installed, I can use the system as I would expect, without continuous error in the console log. When I check the system information, Bluetooth is completely disabled and the USB hub does not report address information. Since the keyboard, track pad, Bluetooth peripheral and USB ports all sit on the same USB stack / hub this leads me to think there is a firmware / driver failure occurring after Mavericks loads. The only two errors I see when I am using a remote keyboard and mouse via a remote service is as follows:
    1/5/14 6:58:16.000 PM kernel[0]: The USB device HubDevice (Port 1 of Hub at 0xfa000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)
    1/5/14 6:58:16.000 PM kernel[0]: The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Track pad (Port 2 of Hub at 0xfa100000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
    Bottom line: Even for those of you who have installed the EFI 1.3 update and have verified that your freezing issues have ceased, for the most part, could you check your console log for the above error. My guess is, you will still see the error repeated there in 5 second intervals if you touch the keyboard, put your hands up for 5 seconds, touch the keyboard and / or track pad again. My concerns is that this is a product line issue since it has occurred on two brand new systems and the log errors appeared on another model on display in an Apple store. (The display model was logged into an Admin account so I took the liberty of checking the console log.)

    I'm tired of this message. Bought a Mac 13" retina from bestbuy that was shipped to me on December 24th. The finder took a long time to load 'All My Files' with three to five second delay. My older macbook unibody (late 2009)was instantaneous. My wife's macbook aluminum (2011) also loaded the files instantaneously. Sorry I digressed but while I was trying to research that issue, I was caught up in the console and multiple of these,'The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)' kept showing up whenever I touched the trackpad in intervals of 6-7 seconds.
    Called up apple, used screen sharing and after spending an hour was transferred to the second tier tech. The second tier rep troubleshooted and told me it WAS an issue and asked me to go to apple store to run diagnostics and that most likely I'll receive another notebook in exchange since it fell within 14 day period. I told him the internet was filled with this discussion and asked if it was prevalent. He said it was the first time he has come across this issue and most forums on the internet may not be addressing my specific issue. I wasn't convinced and simply returned it at best buy.
    The unfortunate thing is I sold my macbook unibody and having owned 2 macbooks for last eight years I caved and ordered another 13". After a week and a half I received it today and guess what, I see the same message filling up my console.
    I noted the following,
    * Use guest account and you'll never see the message,'The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (2)'. All admin accounts created will throw that error.
    Though off topic I'd like to state what happened with the Finder's 'All my files' issue:
    1. Once I upgraded my older macbook unibody to mavericks, the 'All my files' took longer to load as the new macbook pro.
    2. I was able to replicate the same slow load times with macbook aluminium(2011) when I upgraded it to mavericks.
    Oh, I also showed the slowness to the representatives and all they tried doing was reindex spotlight which did no good.
    So much for 1799$ notebook and the "free" OS. Very disappointed.
