Long shut-down time on MacBook Pro Retina 2013
I have my MacBook Pro Retina, with Mavericks running. It's the latest MBP Retina from Apple. Brand new, with all updates from Apple (Mavericks 10.9.1). I disconnected all USB-devices etc. But the shut-down and restart time is way to long. I measured about 48 seconds. The spinning wheel (which shows at the shut-down) moves really slow. I have done PRAM-reset and also used the Disk Utility to repair permissions. Nothing helped, so I wonder, what could it be? I checked here in the ASC other thread concerning the same problems, but with older MacBook Pro Retina models and OS X prior to Mavericks. So seems, this issue is still consistent… Appreciate any help and also eventually Apple could investi
Also I investigated a little bit with the Console app. When shutting down, the Mac tries to access some read and write privileges, but can't do that. This problem seems to have something to do with the Sandbox…
29.12.13 01:04:22,000 kernel[0]: Sandbox: xcscredd(138) deny file-read-metadata /Users
So who knows that and what ist the xcscredd(138) app and why does it try to access my Users folder?

Slow Shut Down Time For Macbook Pro Retina Snow Leapord
Hello, I was hoping somoene could help me with the following problems.
I have brand new Macbook Pro Retina, 15inch, 16G RAM, 500G of SSD, running Mountain Lion, and lots of professional recording software. My macbook frequently shuts down after 30 seconds, that wonderful grey wheel spinning in the center of the screen as if it were an old PC.
I've contacted apple frequently. They check to see that I've repaired disk permission, they reset...the RAM i believe, they ask if i shut down all the programs. Even through doing all of this, usually my macbook takes 30 seconds to shut down. Sometimes it takes only 5, which is how it usually should be. ANd this occurence seems to be inconsistent with the apps I use. Sometimes it takes long to shutdown when i've barely used a thing. Other times it shuts down immediately when i've used a lot of different programs at once. So there's no constant.
The apple boys suggest reformatting the computer to make sure it isn't a hardware issue. I refuse to accept that after only 3 months of use I already have to reformat everything. It's not the most enjoyable experience because I'd have to reinstal all my audio software despite Time Machine's magic tricks. Any suggestions?
Here is a link I've found on the matter: http://thecustomizewindows.com/2013/02/fix-mountain-lion-slow-shut-down-time/These terminal commands decrease the excecution time of a process that has caused slow shutdown times for many users. This resolved my slow shutdowns. IF you are comfortable using terminal you can give them a shot, but be VERY careful using terminal.
These terminal commands should also fix the problem then and kill the services after 2 seconds:
Code:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.coreservices.appleevents.plist sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.coreservices.appleevents ExitTimeOut -int 2 sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.coreservices.appleevents.plist -
MacBook Pro Retina 2013 stuck on boot every time after iPhone 5S is connected to it.
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 and I've noticed that every single time I connect the iPhone 5S to it at the next boot the Mac hangs.
Booting in Safe Mode will eventually work (after about 20 minutes).
I can reproduce this every single time with this combination. Any advice?You can try resetting the PRAM and SMC, but both of your devices are new. You can just make a Genius Bar appointment and let them figure it out.

MacBook Pro retina 2013 do not start and no light on the magsafe
Hello
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 13' core i5 2.5 8gb ram
My mac was open, connect to the sector with full power. I left it the time to lunch and when i came back maybe 2 hours after my mac was off, and no light on the magsafe.
Impossible to start it.
I tried the key sequence, nothing worked.
I used the magsafe of a friend who have the same model, i had i green light for 10s before it turn slowly off. and nothing worked too.
One of my neighbor on the same building, had the same problem at the same time, computer open (not a mac) and it turn off impossible to start it, he had to disconnect/reconnect the battery to solve the problem.
May it be a power surge?
Did i need to open it and disconnect the battery on the motherboard?
Thank you for your help.A Few things to try if you haven't already:
1. Try unplugging the charger from both the wall and from your MacBook Pro. Now, make sure the powerpoint the MacBook was connected to works by plugging it in any electrical appliance you have. After unplugging the test electrical appliance and verifying that everything is OK with the electrical source, wait a minute or two and just plug the charger back into your MacBook and the powerpoint.
2. A possible problem could be a MagSafe port not working correctly. Look for any kind of debris inside the port that might prevent it from connecting the power adapter correctly to your MacBook. On the adapter, take a quick look at the DC connector for any type of debris and carefully check if any of the pins are missing, are bent, or stuck down.
3. Try a quick restart. Just press CMD CTRL ALT EJECT For about 5 seconds.
4. Try CMD, CTRL and POWER for about 5 seconds.
5. If none of this works, my last suggestion is removing the battery connecters and power supplies ect and holding the power button for a few seconds and reconnecting everything. -
My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.
If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.
Cheers. -
MacBook Pro Retina (2013) and Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?
I have moved to a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013) from my old Windows 7 PC. As an amateur photographer which is better - Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?
Lightroom is already optimized for the retina display and PSE12 looks superb on the Macbook pro R. You are never going to get a retina display much larger than 15 inches but once tried you would never wish to go back to other monitors. It’s not just photos; all Apple apps on the MBPr including web browsing are optimized.
Large monitors can be great if you are soft proofing images for print enlargements or for editing and rendering video where the extra real estate is useful. So it comes down to need. In general, images appear sharper on smaller displays. I upload most of my photos to my own website and Google Analytics tells me that a high proportion of my visitors are increasingly viewing on iPads, tablets and smartphones. For me that makes the MBPr ideal for my photo editing. It has far superior clarity compared with the excellent 27 inch Dell Ultra Sharp monitor on my desktop machine.
The only caveat is that nobody really knows the life of flash storage. Some say four years when writing continuously to the SSD drive and less once you start moving from unused space to overwriting. For that reason I always try to write to an external hard drive or SDXC card; reserving the SSD, as far as possible for running the applications.
I think we are getting a bit off-topic as the OP already has the MBPr and only needs to decide between PSE & LR or both. -
13" macbook pro retina 2013 problem: blank screen when waking up from standby
I bought a 13" macbook pro retina 2013 about 3 months ago and it is for about a week or two that I encountered a problem: when I close the lid and open it after a while(or it goes to standby by not using it for some time and then I wake it up by pressing a button), sometimes it shows a blank dark screen(with mouse cursor) for about 15 seconds and then either the screen is turned off(and by pressing a key it shows the login screen) or it shows the normal login screen.
I also have this problem, and now the
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is not working at all
I use gfxCardStatus for work on integrated card and i can't use other displays obviously, because all video outputs (HDMI & Thunderbolt) are taking their ways from discrete card (but working on other displays is my profession of audiovisual artist). My world guarranty is over now, new motherboard costs near 1500 $ and now i don't want what to do.Maybe reballing of videochip will help me, but i'm afraid that not autorised service in my country will kill my motherboard at all. This is my first mac & i have lost many time for take the money for buyng it. I have so much frustration. -
Hello, I have a macbook pro retina-2013.
About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440.
This I can not get through at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?They really pushed that it would all work great! Has anyone had the same struggle? Are there any step-by-step instructions to get linked up?
Call Verizon's wireless tech support & explain your problem to them. They will provide "step-by-step" instructions over the phone.
Take notes too!
TIP: If you do call & don't want to go through all those darn promps, when you initially call, just don't say anything. The automatic voice will then say, "will connect you to a service rep." -

MacBook Pro Retina 2013 will freeze if waked from long sleep if left with open lid
Hello!
Have a strange problem.
My new MacBook Pro Retina 13 will not wake from sleep state if left with open lid for a long period of time. (8-12 hours)
Ship happens ONLY in this case and only if left with open lid.
Screen lights up, I see a user window with password invitation - but no mouse pointer is present and keyboard doesn't respond and the apple on the backside of the lid is light up even if I close the lid.
TimeCapsule backups are creted during sleep state, no other malfunctions detected during use - laptop funtions normally from any side except this problemSolved.

Messages no longer showing up on my MacBook Pro Retina
I vaguely recall being prompted to sign in to my iCloud account while on my MacBook Pro Retina; immediately thereafter, I stopped receiving messages on my MacBook Pro Retina. In fact, when sending messages via my MacBook Pro Retina, message recipients showed me how messages now appear to be coming from my iCloud account...
what must I do to once again receive messages on my MacBook Pro Retina?OK, gang...almost an hour on the phone with Apple Care, and this is what I found if you want to reply with your MacBook to messages sent to your iPhone:
1) on your iPhone, go to to settings, messages, and make sure you are signed in to your Apple ID account
2) on your MacBook, go to messages, preferences, and make sure your phone number is checked among the accounts...and that "start new conversations from:" is followed by your phone number -

anyone any idea what the failed one is ? also when i first got it 100% battery was showing like 7/8/9hours remaining, now with just this and etrecheck open 100% is 5:45. Any suggestions?When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test. -
MacBook Pro Retina 2013 load average constantly above 1
I have a recently purchased (3 month old) MacBook Pro Retina - Late 2013.
I've noticed that the load averages appear to be rather consistently high.
So after a fresh reboot, with nothing other than background applications and the dashboard running, I've noticed that the CPU load stays above 1.0
The CPU itself is idle, at 100% nearly all of the time, it certainly doesn't correspond to '1' unit of load on this system.
I suspect something is amiss but have been unable to figure anything out.
I have tried the instrutions for clearing the SMC and this does not appear to have sorted anything.
The in-built diagnostics suggest nothing is wrong.
Any thoughts?Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
