Lotta Issues after Macbook Pro 2.0 update

After applying Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 2.0 update, and its supplymental update, My Retina MBP (
SMC Version (system):
2.3f32 Boot ROM Version:
MBP101.00EE.B02)
has following problems:
unable to set hibernatemode to 0: '# sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0' and 'sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage' both returns no error. But after closing the lid and open it, the sleepimage comes back. And the "sleep by close the lid" is slow, takes about 40sec.
slow wakeup: open the lid, the login window appears, but nothing is interactive, after about a minute, i can type the password and login.
other 1: after the slow sleep and slow wake up, I lost lot of Icons from the menubar, application menus, and Apple apps' (finder, safari, mail...) buttons.
other 2: System sound(notification, empty trash, trash file...) becomes white noise
other 3: after the wakeup,entire desktop becoms random noise, some Dock icons and some imagess in safari become noise.
randomly some apps crash and fail to launch again. Including apps from both Apple and 3rd party.
3,4,5,6 seems like some memory disorder?
and, how can I or Apple fix this soon?

Bring the computer to an Apple store, or AASP, or inspection.

No DVDs after MacBook Pro firmware EFI update?

I am no longer able to play video DVDs after updating to the recent MacBook Pro EFI Firmware update 1.2. The odd thing is that DVD Player says "Supported disk not available", the disks do not show up in the Finder, but Disk Utility shows the disks. This also happens to the one Windows game DVD I have on hand. My Civ IV DVD shows up in the Finder as per normal.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Or, alternatively, does anyone know how I can actually get ahold of Apple support? They have the single most unfriendly support system ever; I can't even find a support request form.

Just got off the phone with Apple support.
They will not help me unless I buy a $300 AppleCare plan or pay $50 for a one-time incident.
I do not understand how they can charge for a software issue that they caused. Then the support personnel has the gall to tell me that the only way that Apple will hear about this problem is if I go through official support channels (ie set up an incident account with him). I am a student. I do not have $50 lying around unless I fast for a week.
Anyone with an AppleCare plan active who can report this problem? Alternatively, is there any possible way to get this reported to Apple, since as far as I'm concerned it's a serious issue with their firmware update that needs to get fixed stat, without paying for the privilege?
What a screwed up system. Apple effectively tells me that I need to install an update that breaks functionality on my computer and then refuses to even hear about it. I have received far better support (and via email, too) from Microsoft without them so much as bringing up the matter of payment.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm loyal to Apple at all. I love their products, but times like this make me hate the company with a passion.

Problems after Macbook Pro 2.0 update

After applying the Macbook Pro 2.0 update to my Mid 2012 15 MBP, I am having all kinds of problems. Safari becomes unresponsive and I have to force it closed. iTunes would not connect and quit unexpectedly, as did Mail. I had a fresh SuperDuper backup from yesterday that I could boot from and am currently running from that backup. I tried to use TM to restore before I applied the update without any success. Anyone else having these issues?

Rare battery issue that "MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7" was supposed to address.

I recently downloaded this update that is supposed to "address a rare issue on some Apple notebooks where a battery that has accumulated more than 1000 charge cycles may unexpectedly shut down or stop functioning." This did nothing for my battery, which has been completely shot for the past six months. My MacBook Pro is essentially a desktop now because it constantly has to be plugged in. My battery only had between 200-300 cycles when it shutdown. Apple service would not replace the battery free of charge because I was off my warranty, even though I knew this was a factory defect. My question is now that Apple has acknowledged that some of the MacBook Pros had faulty batteries, will they replace them free of charge even if i'm off warranty? It seems ridiculous that I have to pay $200 plus to fix a problem that was their fault in the beginning by supplying faulty batteries.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple has fixed the battery problem by a SMC update, so the 1000 cycles problem is now fixed, and your problem is different.
During the first year of warranty, if your battery fails, you will get it repaired for free. However, if it fails when the warranty has expired, you will have to pay unless you have purchased AppleCare.
If it's a common problem with a lot of MacBooks Pro, Apple will start a replacement program, where they will repair all batteries affected for free. This is the only exception, so you will have to pay because your warranty expired

Wifi issues after Macbook Pro wakes up

Someone please help! I am going crazy!
About a week ago this problem started happening. When I wake my Macbook Pro, instead of instantlly connecting to my wifi network like usual, now I get an exclamation point over the wifi symbol in the menu bar. If I wait about 2 minutes it will connect, but not before. About two days later, it started happening on my wifes Macbook Pro. Hers sometimes would not connect at all. Heres the weird part-my iPad works fine, every time, right away. Yesterday I did a reset of my modem (which scares me, because everytime I have done this before the modem has mysteriously died, leaving me with no internet for several days at a time), and a hard reset of my router, and the problem was fixed. Today, its started again.
I am using a Zykel pk5001Z modem, and an Apple Extreme base station.
Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" 2.4 i7
my wifes is a couple years older, and 13"
iPad 2
Centurylink *****. Since I transferred to them last February, I have had to replace my modem 3 times. It would stop working, I would push reset button, then it just died. 3 times. I have a hard time imagining that its the modem since my iPad works, but not sure what else to do. I really don't want to have to reset my entire network every other day. Please help me if you have any suggestions!

Slow Booting time after installing MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 on 13 Inches Mac 2010 model

I'm experiencing a slow boot time after my computer installed a MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 itself on 13 Inches 2010 model, how to downgrade or fix it?
My computer is starting 2 times slower then it should be, why Apple done this to me?
Please help who really know somthing about Macs.

I have the same problem, especially when I open my laptop from sleep. It takes at least 2 minutes for the computer Internet connection to work.
Never had that problem prior to the last firmware update 2.7.
Is there a way to revert back to 2.6?

Are you saying you're running Windows in BootCamp or Windows as a Virtual Machine? You can increase the fan speed on the Mac using smcFanControl and use the software OGELTHORPE recommended to observe improvements.
smcFanControl is a Mac application and doesn't work in Windows, but if you set a higher minimum fan speed (which is how smcFanControl works) while running OS X, when you reboot into a BootCamp partition, that minimum speed tends to be carried over.

Menu Bar issues on Macbook Pro

I came across this problem with my mac where after logging in I noticed that the menu bar, specifically the battery and wifi icon takes atleast 5-10 mins to appear and when I hover the cursor anywhere on the right side of the menu bar it shows the spinning rainbow. Also the volume button seems to be greyed out as well and usually I have to plug in ear phones and it will go away but only temporarily. This never happened to my mac until today and for some reason I think it has to do with the installation of Adobe CS6 Master Collection. (yes, it was torrented. no, I wont do it again.) I did some slight research and on some website it said that there could be some applications recently installed that could have caused this to happen. If anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate it.

Having the same issue. Macbook Pro 2011, latest Mavericks update ....
Apple menu disappears and reappears when Google Chrome is open/closed. Behaving the same with random programs. Do you have any ideas?? Software is up to date, THANKS!!!

[SOLVED] Linux kernel 3.6.2-1 issues on Macbook Pro 4,1

After my recent system upgrade to linux-3.6.2-1, I ran into a couple noticeable issues on my laptop. The first was the inability to use "mount -i /home/user", which is in my .bash_profile, to mount my encrypted home directory at login. An error message would respond saying that eCryptfs does not support aes. I was able to manually mount it with "mount -t ecryptfs /home/user/.private /home/user", but could not figure out the issue. I also noticed my laptop running a hotter that usual and found that my fans were not changing according to the sensors. I use macfanctld from the AUR to change my fan speed and killing its process and restarting it had no effect. I then decided my recent system upgrade may be at fault so I rebooted into linux-lts and the issues were solved. I then downgraded linux-3.6.2-1, linux-headers-3.6.2-1, nvidia-304.51-4, virtualbox-guest-modules- 4.2.0-6, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-6 to linux-3.5.6-1, linux-headers-3.5.6-1, nvidia-304.51-3, virtualbox-guest-modules-4.2.0-5, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-5. These issues are now fixed on my system with the downgrade and I have blocked them from upgrade in pacman.conf. I did not notice any other issues.

I felt it was necessary to post this issue, especially if another person also has it, so that it may be resolved in future kernel updates. If there are any logs or other information people need to help resolve this issue or if I should notify a mod of this or something, please let me know.

After further investigation the issues were easily solved.
Regarding my encrypted home directory, I checked kernel.log and found that ecryptfs did not like the argument ecrypt_key_bytes=16 and that manual mount has the variable name ecryptfs_key_bytes=16. So I simply changed that in my fstab. Auto-mounting my home directory works nicely again.
In regards to the fan issue, I had to alter /etc/macfanctl.conf because the output of the sensors command (lm-sensors) contained some negative values which may have affected average temperatures and such. I excluded those temperatures and played with the constraints more until the fans spun faster when I felt they should.
Still found it strange that some of these issues happened during kernel upgrades, but glad to have solved the issues.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

Hi
The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
Anyone know why this may be?

I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

Bizarre Screen Display After MacBook Pro LogOut

Like many on this forum, I've had LogOut issues with my MacBook Pro -- specifically, having the screen resolution drop after logging out of any account -- the only way to correct the problem being a reboot. Many posts have offered fixes from discarding corrupt plists to changing other system preference settings. My understanding is that the problem can be solved by upgrading to Lion, though many stated that the problem could be solved by upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, which did not work. I'm running 10.6.8 on a 17" Macbook Pro (mid-2010) and have still had this problem.
Compounding matters, yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.3; Security Update 2011-006; Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6; Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0 and several native Mac App updates. I've repaired permissions and rebooted and now when I log out of any account, I get a bizarre screen -- not a reduction of resolution per se, but a reduction of the entire login screen... as if the image has been reduced by 25% or so... with a big blue border around two sides. See below:
AFTER BOOT-UP:
AFTER LOGOUT:
If upgrading to Lion would solve the problem, that would be great but I run several media-production apps and third-party hardware/software interfaces that are not quite onboard with Lion so I have to wait for a Lion Upgrade until my essential programs and hardware/software interfaces are completely Lion-friendly.
Surely there has got to be a way to get rid of this problem while still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Anyone?

Your appointment at the genius Bar for an evaluation is free, in warranty or out.
They can explain why it wiggles, tell you whether that is normal or not, give advice about what you can do to reduce its annoyance, and fix it if it is not normal. That is what they are trained to do, all day every day.
There is no expectation that every time you visit they will find a way to make money off you, like a car dealership.
The Genius Bar service exists because Apple wants you to be a happy customer, if possible. If you are willing to make an appointement and come to them (spending your time and energy to do so) they will work with you for nothing in an attempt to solve your problems, whatever they may be.

ICal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for days...??

I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone. I have been using iCloud since it came out (running Lion). iCal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for several days. Also - when I add an event on the MacBook, it does not show up on any of my other devices (they are all set up with the same iCloud calendars). When I add events from my other devices, they DO show up in iCal on my Macbook Pro.
I am at a loss -- any help would be VERY much appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Hello
Chance upon your post and yes, immediately after upgarding to Mountain Lion, my "new" Calendar (Desktop, formely known as 'iCal') keeps having the pop up window saying "Updating Calendar..." (I set my Calendar to auto-launch after Startup)
After restarting it will still be the same, but if I quit and launch again, everything will be fine. Will try the method you posted (the thread) tonight. Although I deleted the iCal preferences, thinking/hoping it will help
However, I don't seem to have a problem with sycning of al events, my sync with iCloud and all my macs and iOS devices seem OK.
If events are not syncing into some of your iOS devices, why don't you try deleting the entire iCloud account on it and re-set a new one? I've done that before when events or other data don't properly sync
Cheers

MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1 Won't Install

Hi Everybody. I am having a really annoying problem with my rMBP. I have the update labaled: "MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1" Available in my Mac AppStore app. After I click update, I get a prompt letting me know that the laptop needs to be plugged in, I hit ok. It downloads (very small file) and asks me to Restart or hit "Not Now". I click restart, the system reboots into a updating page where a status bar quickly completes. The laptop restarts again back to OSX. I open up the appstore and goto the updates page and what do I see? 1 available update: MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1, like I never did anything to begin with.
My system info is:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.6 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          8 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MBP101.00EE.B02
SMC Version (system):          2.3f32
Serial Number (system):          xxx
Hardware UUID: xxx
Please help this is really annoying.

I had the same problem. Tried all the proposed fixes. Nothing worked. This solved my problem:
1. Install a fresh copy of mountain lion on an extern disk
2. Startup from that disk
3. Update to 10.8.3.
4. Restart
5. Open app store, go to updates. You should see the SMC 1.1. update.
6. Click update
7. Restart
Once the update installed (fan will go quickly to max speed during startup) switch back to your internal disk and start up. Now the SMC 1.1. update shouldn't show up in the app store/upadtes.

My MacBook Pro has an update available for Maverick I think it was

My MacBook Pro had an update available for the Maverick and I did not hit the update because kept erroring out. I was updating other things and decided to hit it too and that time finally updated. Then right after the laptop looked for updates and did another one. It asked to install whatever the upstate on the OS or X was and then took 50 minutes to install it then more time to complete it. When computer finally came back on it asked for my apple ID for iCloud. I typed it in several times correct fly but it would not take it and finally chose forgot. It went to a new blank box with the asterisk wheel winding around and choice of continue highlighted below next to un highlighted back. Now I am frozen here and can't do anything with laptop. Will not allow me to highlight and choose back. Can't get it to continue. Tried esc. Tried force close and tells me I must quit setup assistant first. Can't get top controls to show up. Finally got a second desktop background to come up and pushed F 3 and tried to use buttons below and above and will pull-up things like Safari but can't use it and can't pull up the set up assistant this way to choose quit either. So I am just stuck. Help please, anyone. How do I get use of my laptop again??
I don't really know if it is maverick or what number OS it is. Just know had picture of mountain lion.

That sounds like you have installed Mavericks over the top of Mountain Lion?
Do you know what version of the OS was on the laptop before you started?
Do you have any backups from before the 'update', either a Time Machine disk or a full copy (a.k.a. bootable clone)?
Mavericks is not a simple update, despite Apple's constant nagging to 'update' to it. It's possible that the Mavericks installer has overwritten the old OS, but I suspect it may simply need you to create a user account with the setup assistant. It's a very good idea to make a full backup before applying any major OS upgrade.
I would reboot, fill out the details for setup assistant and when it is time to enter the user details enter a new account name (this will be your admin account). The assistant should then create a user account that you can login with to look at the contents of the Mac's disk.
Then you should open the /Users folder (Use 'Finder menu > Go > Go to folder…' to open /Users) & see if the old users home folders are still intact. You may also want to see if any third party Applications are still installed.
If the old data is intact, and the account isn't listed in 'System Preferences > Users & groups' it can be recreated, provided you make sure to use the same 'shortname' as the Users home folder.
If the data is gone, I'm afraid it's possible that it is lost, I can't see this being likley because the 10.9 installer will not delete user data without some stern warnings & advanced user interaction.
An alternative would be to connect this Mac to another Mac & look at the disk to see if the data is still there before you create the user acount. Do you have access to another Mac? You may be able to use Thunderbolt or Firewire to see this Mac's disk on another working Mac.

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 update freezes mouse pointer

After installing the update released today 5/28 (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) my mouse pointer stalls, freezes on occasion. Very annoying. Anyone seeing the same. Fixes ... ?

After applying the SMC Firmware update a few days ago, my keyboard and trackpad were acting erratic (freezing, hanging). It was immediately after the update and I had not had any problems with it before.
I have also had random crashes, inability to use the keyboard/trackpad ever since.
Today my keyboard and trackpad are completely unusable, external mouse works fine.
I will take it to an Apple store tomorrow, hopefully my firmware can be reverted.
Sounds like a lot of other people are having problems with this update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9549034&tstart=0#9549034
