MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) or Refurb Pro 15" (Early 2013)

Hello guys/girls,
I'm currently studying applied informatics and I need a new laptop for the daily university life.
I came to buy a macbook because of various reasons (Battery life, speed, durability, ..) but I'm still not sure which one I should buy.
I decided to buy a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina with 16GB of RAM, 2.4GHz i5 CPU and a 256GB Flash-Storage but the local refurbished store (Germany) has been updated and a 15" MacBook Pro Retina with 2.4GHz i7 QuadCore CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB Flash-Storage has been added. Now I don't know what to buy. Either spent ~100€ more for the 15" refurb. Version or buy the new 13" MBPr.
I'll need to run atleat one IDE for Java, Visual Studio (so I need to start a Windows VM) and maybe more later.
Pros of the 13":
+ Smaller and easier to carry around
+ Better battery life
+ Faster SSD
+ New SSD (? I'm not sure if the one in the refurbed is changed to a new one, since all SSDs have limited write sequences)
+ A bit cheaper
+ More RAM (16GB)
Pros of the 15" Refurb:
+ Faster when it comes to CPU (i7 QuadCore)
+ Faster when it comes to GPU (GT650M)
+ Bigger Display
+ Maybe longer usable (Should be atleast 4-6 years!!)
What would you suggest me?

Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013 - Built in SSD very slow to boot.

Hey Everyone,
Ok here is my problem.. I have a brand new BTO 2.7 GHz Retina MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2013 - ME665LL/A). It has an internal 500gb SSD.
Right out of the box, it took about 1 minute to boot... The Apple logo would appear and the spinning wheel below would spin for up to a minute before the welcome to Macintosh pre-configure window appears.
Figuring something had gone wrong with the OS install at manufacture, I booted into the recovery partition, reformatted the SSD and re-installed the OS. After the horrendous amount of time it took to initially download Mac OS 10.9 from iTunes, the install was successful.
I rebooted the Mac and the same problem… took around a minute to boot…
I gave up and installed all my software and set up the computer… Ive been using it now for about a month and honestly cant complain.. Its been very fast and works brilliantly: with one caveat. If I restart it or start it up from power - off status, it still takes around a minute to boot.
Ive booted up into verbose mode and discovered when Mavericks starts the initial driver loads, the computer hangs on the “AppleUSBMultitouchDriver”. It hangs for 30 seconds, then about a second later says “got response code 2 reinitialised driver” and then continues to load Mavericks successfully.
Knowing exactly what that AppleUSBMultitouchDriver driver does, I removed it from the System / Library / Extensions folder. I plugged in a USB mouse (as the trackpad will now fail to work) and rebooted…
Bingo! the computer started in about 4 seconds! - however no trackpad (as expected)
I re-installed the driver, rebooted and it took 1 minute again, but the trackpad worked again..
I did this a few times to make sure 100% it was this driver causing the problem, and it is…
so I need help.. anyone experienced this? know a fix?.. or do I have a faulty trackpad? (the trackpad works perfect btw)
hmmmm…..

MacBook Pro Retina early 2013?

I don't understand. Today update to the MacBook Pro line... is it a real update or just a price drop? The MacBooks retina sold from now on are going to be called MacBook Pro Retina early 2013 or not?
Just asking because I am waiting an update to buy the 15'' MacBook Retina.

My current MBP is having trouble keeping up (it's 5 years old now), so I'm interested in the new 15" rMBP.
I understand it just got a faster CPU and a price drop, which is great, but I'm wondering if Apple will release a new designed model later this year? A late 2013 model so to speak. Would that be in June or at the end of the year?
Thanks,
Kris

Multiple kernel panics & black screen on Macbook Pro Retina early 2013

My Macbook Pro Retina (early 2013, 8GB ram, 250 GB hard drive) has been experiencing multiple kernel panics forcing rapid-fire restarts of the computer multiple times within a very short time frame. This is followed by the screen staying black even if the computer is on (keyboard lit up, can hear volume buttons) but nothing is on the screen. Once the screen goes black, I have to employ some combination of manually shutting it down (by holding down the power button) and then turning it back on (+/- doing an SMC reset) to get the screen working again. I also tried a PRAM reset once, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and I've repaired the disk permissions.
This issue has happened multiple times in the past week. It seems to vary as to how long it takes to happen again (could be a few days, could be less than an hour), and it has happened during multiple different activities (surfing the web, using Word, using Mail). I have experienced this both on Mavericks and after updating to Yosemite over the weekend.
I took it to the Apple Store on Saturday and while the Genius saw that the screen was black when I initially brought it in (even though the computer was on), we couldn't recreate the issue and the diagnostic tests he ran showed nothing. It even started back up fine for him. I thought I was OK, until I had another round of kernel panics + black screen this afternoon. At this point, doing a normal restart of the machine results in a kernel panic before it even makes it off of the loading screen and then a black screen.
This time, I checked the logs and saw the panic report included below. I don't know enough about this to understand what it means, but hopefully someone else does! Some internet searching has suggested that it might be a problem with the GPU (and the log below says GPU panic). Help, please!

Проблема с MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 (256Gb SSD)

У меня MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 (с 256Gb SSD).
Куплен в апреле.
На гарантии.
Три недели назад отнес ноутбук в официальный сервис центр с проблемой: не видит SSD (не загружается, выдавая разные ошибки).
В сервисе продержали неделю - вернули с диагнозом: почистили контакты SSD, сбросили настройки питания (cmd+alt+r+p при загрузке).
Ноутбук проработал неделю. Теперь снова та же проблема. Пока спасаюсь cmd+alt+r+p при загрузке, но это не дело.
В чем дело и кто в Apple мог бы помочь разрешить проблему?

Еще один симптом - после появления проблемы иногда в простое сильно нагревается верхняя часть ноутбука (под дисплеем слева по ощущениям) и начинают орать вентиляторы.

Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping

Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You

Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 ME665xx/A same body like MacBook Retina Mid 2012 MC976xx/A ?

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 ME665xx/A. Does it have the same body like the MacBook Retina of Mid 2012 MC976xx/A so that a case for a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 fits on my Early 2013?
Much thanks

If they are both the same size (as in, they are both 15inch). Then it will fit fine!

How to create Install OS X Yosemite for MacBook Pro Retina Early-2015

HELP ME! Unable to Boot from Install OS X Yosemite USB
I just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early-2015 and wish to install Windows 8.1. I created Windows Install USB using Boot Camp and Installing Windows. Unfortunately, I erase all SSD by accident.
I created Install OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 USB as guided at https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201372 using my MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013.
This USB works perfectly on my MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 but I am unable to boot from Yosemite 10.10.2 Install USB on my new MacBook Pro Retina Early-2015. The white stop sign appeared on black screen all the time. I am stuck here and can't reinstall OS X Yosemite on my new MacBook.
I also can't use Recovery boot as the SSD had been erased.
Please help to show me how to create OS X Install USB that can use with my MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early-2015

Boot the MBP with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys.
It should result in a display with a revolving globe.
If you follow the directions, it will connect you to the Apple servers and you will be able to install the original OSX that came with your MBP.
You will need a solid Internet connection.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 Lag Spikes

Okay let me just brief you on my Macbook.
In September 2011 i bought a Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 model, 4GB RAM, 2.7GHz Processor, you can get the rest on the site.
( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp619 )
I bought it as a ex-display model, so you can imagine it already has some milage from it.
Through the (almost) 2 years i've had it, apart from the odd overheat shutdown, and a 1 charger replacement, it's been no hassle, even with me constantly shutting it and moving it. It seems that all the issues are coming in bulk.
I generally use the laptop for gaming, mostly World of Warcraft, sometimes Minecraft, and lately Starcraft, and Spellforce on BOOTCAMP or virtual machines.
About 2 weeks ago, the laptop started refusing to charge, i couldn't understand if it was the charger (as i only replaced it a few months earlier and the cable was still in perfect condition) or the port itself in the laptop. I took my laptop to an Apple store, found it was the Magsafe on the cable, replaced it on the spot, but the reason why i'm saying this is i'm wondering why it broke so quickly, and if lack of power has anything to do with it.
I've grown a liking to Spellforce so instead of having to restart into the Windows side of my Mac, i just use the Virtualbox Virtual OS i already have set up from when i used to work from home and have to use certain software on windows because Wine just couldn't cut it (and lets face it, Mission Control is awesome, then you go on Windows and everything just seems to cluttered). So i read the default specs for the game on Steam (2GB) so i give Virtualbox 2GB, but this was a MAHOOSIVE mistake, because as soon as i clicked start, it's been a down hill spiral.
The computer immediately started lagging, to the point where the laptop was actually unusable, so i force restarted it by pressing down the power button for 5 seconds and i let it restart. After it booted, everything seemed fine (i expected nothing else) so i decided to only give it 1GB of RAM, and just turn down the settings to the lowest possible (which is something i've had to do with World of Warcraft recently. It used to be able to run on Ultra when i first got the laptop, now it struggles on low and if i have a browser up at the same time). Again, big mistake, it lagged to unusability. So i restart again, but this time it takes 5 minutes to boot, and once booted everything is so slow, so i decide to re-install the OS, so i get my flash drive and spend the next hour moving things over from my user folder because when i would try to move a folder that had 5+ files or something that was 100MB or larger, it would error out saying a certain file couldn't be read or written, and would cancel and remove everything else that was transfering at the time.
So i restart but boot into the recovery option, and do a refresh the OS, and i let it download and install. I was surprised to see when it had all completed that it still had all my files, but it still ran slow, not as slow as before but definitely not as good as before, i would estimate at quatre the performance. So i assume that Virtualbox must have editted some system setting and my Mac thinks i only have 2GBs of RAM and not 4GB, so i search on how to reset the bootloader, and i was tried the alt + cmd + r + p, but after that when it booted, it came to the wallpaper but i was getting these popups that Finder had unexpectedly quit, so i click Okay a few times, they keep coming back up, so i look at the details and it says that the app had failed 500+ times before.
So i put my Snow Leopard disk in, use Disk Utility and use erase on my Mac OS partition, then i re-install Snow Leopard, then i download and install Mountain Lion again, but the snails pace remains. I do alittle more research and someone suggested modifying the partition size by a few gigs or so to re-write it and reset certain variables attached, didn't work, even after a reboot.
So yesterday i just put the Snow Leopard disk in, and i remove both partitons (Mac and Windows) and i make one partition. I install Snow Leopard and then Moutain Lion, and so far it appears that everything it back up to speed... however, i've been keeping a keen eye on Activity Moniter and "top" in Terminal, and my CPU usage and RAM usage are always relatively low. I always seem to have 1GB-2GB RAM free, and my Idle CPU always seems to be above 80%-90% but i'm getting these weird lag spikes. I notice it most when i try installing World of Warcraft again, the download speed averages around 3MB/s (my ISP is Virigin Media and i get 60Mbs/s fibre optic so i know it's not my connection failing) and then the app seems to freeze (stops refreshing the average speed, and then about 5-10 seconds later, it starts refreshing again but it's at 12-50KB/s. This also seems to happen a lot when i use web browsers.
I have noticed something new, literally only about 30 minutes before i started writing this. There is a noise that happens every 2-4 seconds, it's pretty regular, it sounds like a grasshopper, or other chirping bug/insect inside my laptop. It sounds like metal scraping against metal, which is worrying. It's coming from the right hand side of the Magic Track Pad, which is where i believe the Hard Drive is. I've looked online and this seems to be a sign that the harddrive is dying.

Yeah, the problem has been solved.
Unfortunately, the solution is buying a new storage device.
So if you're having these issues, i tried almost everything consumer possible, that's free anyway, and the hard drive was just too faulty to work properly. So backup all your stuff whilst you still can.
I bought an SSD for around £80, only 120 gigs of storage, but i have iTunes Match so i don't need to have my films and music downloaded.
If you're very mobile with your laptop, then i suggest getting an SSD. Lugging about a laptop with a storage device with moving parts is very very risky.
As soon as i got a new storage device, everything was back to normal. It was like it was new again.
Anyway, sorry i can't give you a free solution, but it's the only solution i got.

SSD-problem with MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011)

Hi there,
I've tried to use two different SSDs in my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011). The first one (Samsung 840 Series, 500GB) crashed after two days: the beachball appeared and after a restart there was this question mark-symbol on my screen: no system found. Had to send this SSD back to Amazon. A few days later I've bought a new one, a SanDisk Extreme with 450GB. I've used it for two days, then my system crashed again and after a restart of my Mac I couldn't get any further than to the grey apple-symbol. Even the recovery partition didn't work anymore. Does anyone of you have the same problem with his (or her) MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) - and any ideas for a solution?
Thanks for your answers!
Torsten

can you confirm if this is ok to buy:

MacBook Pro 15 early 2011 slower than it must be...!!!

Hello everybody,
I have an MacBook Pro 15 early 2011, 2.2 Ghz, 4 RAM... It is running Mavericks 10.9.5, the latest update... The Etrecheck statistics seems to be very fine. So, here are some good and interesting questions: Why does my Mac work not that fast as it was on Slow Leopard? Why do I wait around 25-30 seconds to run Microsoft Office Document? Why the operating system is booting around 60 seconds? Why when I use software like MatLab, it turns that is not so possible to switch between the apps really fast, because multitasking freezes?
At the beginning, when I installed Mavericks 10.4.1, I thought that it is not enough RAM, after I read some comments from people that are using 2009 MacBooks running Mavericks and everything is fine, I canceled this possibility. Then I thought that my HDD is dead, I checked it 1000 times, its fine... So, the question is: what could it be, slowing my mac???
I plan to increase my RAM to 16 GB, but I am really not sure if it will help, because mavericks has another algorithm of RAM usage...
Really hope to hear some logical answers!

Remove "MobileGo," or else refer to its developer for support.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Problems With Hardware Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011

Dear Mac-Friends,
My product is a Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011, runing a OS X 10.7.5.
Problems I am facing are:
1. Completly crash: with no explanation appears some patches of collored pixels all over the screen and the computer starts making a "Beep" (Then I need to manually re-start the Macbook). Some friends said it look like a "memory pouring".
2. Mac Crash: it appears that black screen saying: "You need to restart your computer, please press the power button).
Both problemas start happening since I recently changed it's ram memory. I took the 2 x 2GB original, replacing for a Kingston 2 x 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, following the instructions in the guide.
So far both problems happen when I am working (maximum time I have worked with no crash was something like 3 hours).
Concerned with my situation I have looked for help in the web and most people say I have to make a Hardware Test. But I am trying really hard to this the Hardware Test (I tried holding "D", holding "Option + D", holding "Alt + D" in many ways that you can imagine, but could not run the Hardware Test, and no problem message was shown).
I have already read the article in Mac Support Community about "Hardware Test" and I tried to install the EFI update for Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011, but says "This software is not compatible with your computer". So weird!
Would anybody help me please?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best to you all!

Hey friend.
The software Rember says: It's not compatible with my OSx.
This is the crash report:

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Using AirPlay
Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Another solution is the Air Parrot.

15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011.takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get

Hello All,
I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
Could this be a hard drive issue?
Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
Thank you so much for your input!
-Christina C.

MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 - External display issues

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" (2.7GHz version) that I am using with an external non-Apple display. I am having issues when MBP goes to sleep or trys to sleep the display. The external display exibits one of a number of problems: goes dark but does not power off the backlight or freezes up and requires being powered off then back on. My display is an ASUS VW266H but it seems like this problem, or other similar problems, are happening with other non-Apple displays.
In calling Apple tech support of 5/27/11 they indicated that this is a known bug and they are working on a fix. There was software update released 5/4/11 to "improve graphics stability, address issues with external display" named MacBook Pro Software Update 1.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1382). I downloaded this and applied it but it made no difference.
I experienced these problems with three different video adapters: Apple's own mini DP to DVI, Belkin mini DP to HDMI and another brand of mini DP to HDMI also sold by the Apple store.
So the questions are:
1) Will Apple release another updated to address this incompatability or are they done with the issue given that they released the update mentioned above?
2) Has anyone compiled a list of monitors that are know to work with these most recent MacBook Pros (the early 2011 versions with the Thunderbolt/mini DP combined ports)?
If you have used the MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 with an external monitor please respond to this post with your experiences so we can all know what works.

With my new 2011 13" MBP I'm having no latency issues using my '08 Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW DVI (digital) monitor. Sleep function awakens fine, goes to sleep 3-4 sec.
I'm using a cheapie model Syba MDP to DVI connector; here on Amazon:

I bought 2 in case one craps out on me...knock on wood. Good luck hope you find a solution.

When i connect my philips 170c monitor to my macbook pro 13" early 2011, it does not detect the second monitor?

help! i've googled around, but none seems to solve my problem
my macbook pro is early 2011, 13", running lion.
the philips monitor is vga only, so i have a mini display port to vga adaptor and connecting it to the vga.
the screen on my mbp does turn blue, but no input is detected on the external monitor.
any advice?

If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) or Refurb Pro 15" (Early 2013)
