MacBook Pro 15 Retina Haswell - Long start up time

Just received my BTO, maxed out MBP 15, 16gb ram, 2.6, 1TB ssd. It took almost 90 seconds to boot up, as well as doing re-start machine. Is this normal? Been reading the forum and seems like everyone else MBP boot up in about 20 seconds or less. Mine just came 3 days ago, came with mavericks installed. Nothing else been added other than moving my iTunes library from older MBP. Please advise, what steps I need to do to check, what to turn off (if any), etc.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. My MacBook Pro is new and came with the Leopard 10.5. It's taking 2 min to reestart. I've already tried to reinstall the system with "erase and install", but it did not help. Even the first time after reinstalling the restart is already slow.
Have anybody heard anything about how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Macbook Pro w/retina & Haswell Processor Upgrade

I would be stoked if this was available to save on batter life, Will the macbook pro (mid 2013) be upgradable to the new intel haswell processor, if at anytime?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you already have the MacBook and you want to upgrade it to a Haswell processor, you can't. The processor is soldered to the logic board in the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display, so you can't replace it without replacing the logic board. Also, note that OS X may not support the processor you put.
Respecting to a future MacBook Pro with Haswell processor, the last MacBook Pro upgrade was in June 2012 and it hasn't been updated yet, but Apple has always released at least one new MacBook Pro per year. This doesn't mean that this year a MacBook Pro with Haswell processor will be available

HT204032 MacBook Pro w/ Retina taking long time to shutdown

I download the SMC for my MacBook Pro w/ Retina, now it take 45 to 50 sec. for my MacBook to shutdown. Should it take this long?

Yup. you've got it right...
I was avoiding a reinstall because I'm a newbie OSX and I was trying REAL hard to find out which soft after the original install made my Mountain Lion a slow kitty to turn off...
But today I said "f*** it... let's reinstall.." And Magic... 4 seconds shut down with all my software installed as if I never reinstalled the OS
;-) Loving this laptop!!

How to make my Macbook Pro 13" Retina a long term laptop?

2. What are the things that will make my Mac lose it's function?
3. What are the things I need to do so that this Mac live forever or until I finish college?

Thanks John.
I'd like to add to what you said that I have here a few Macs, all portables with the exception of one Mini, and the oldest is a white MacBook from 2006, which is still frequently in use. The battery is anything but really useful, admittedly, but it runs okay under Lion, and a student would probably be still happy with it unless he needed to run heavy CAD, DTP, video or photo editing on it. Or games, hehe. Oh, and of course, he wouldn't be as cool as that guy with the brand-new 11" MBA under his arm...

Macbook Pro 2012 Retina Won't Start, burnt power pins on power port, digital artist dead in the water

After a year of owning my macbook pro late 2012 retina model, it started having difficulty charging, it wouldn't charge even when green on the magsafe, and had difficulty turning orange, basically right after the 1 year warranty was over by one month, I went into the apple store and they told me that I simply needed to replace the power adapter and cord and it would be fine, but that it most likely was caused by me plugging it into a power strip, and that I had to plug it directly into the wall in its own power slot, which they never said that was what you were supposed to do when I purchased the laptop and could not find it anywhere in the literature. It was fine in the store for the apple worker, but after even just a few months I had to to constantly twist and unplug and replug the magsafe adapter from different angles just to get it to work, and it was like a living ****, as I am a digital artist and my wacom tablet will not work until my macbook pro is charging and the magsafe is orange, so everyday I would waste 30 minutes to an hour with the finicky magsafe, until recently my macbook pro will not turn on at all.
Since the problem arose after warranty I had to pay out of pocket for the replacement magesafe cord, which was a temporary solution, I pointed out that the magsafe power port on the laptop itself also had burn marks just like the magsafe cord that had a few pins pushed in and was slightly blackened but the attendant ignored that and said it was fine and just swapped out the cord. The "genius" attendant claimed if I just plugged in the macbook pro directly into the wall, everything would be fine and back to normal, and I did just that, I never plugged it into a power strip ever again, and still we arrive to my current predicament.
I believe I have to repair the actual power port the magsafe plugs into on the laptop, and get a new magsafe cord all over again, but it will be much more expensive than simply swapping out a cord this time, and I don't think the reason this happened to begin with has been truly identified, and I'm worried I have to make this repair every year, and I can't afford this kind of planned obsolescence, and I thought I was getting the best laptop in the world, and it was, everything was perfect not one single problem, except for this power issue, which now won't even allow me to use the computer at all and is now a giant paper weight, and leaves a dirty taste in my mouth when it comes to apple products.
I live in San Francisco in a house that was built around 1910 and don't know much about what or when renovations were made for power, but I have a feeling some kind of incorrect voltage is happening, and I was never instructed on this, and every other macbook is fine, my roommates have earlier models like the 2007 and 2009 MacBooks and have no problem like mine.
Please help me

I don't understand why and how the red light in the audio jack is still on while the computer is totally off, not connected to any power source and the battery seems to be empty... how is taht possible?
Because the battery is not empty, something is messed up, likley the SMC.
All I can advise is doing a SMC Reset, which resets the power firmware in case it got messed up and hopefully that will charge the battery up like normal.
If you can't do it or it doesn't work tommorow after charging up (turned off) overnight then just take it to Apple.

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display, when starting up, I see the Apple logo, the bar underneath fills about 1/4 of the way, and then the screen goes black, the mouse cursor is still visible.

Boots to black in OS X mode (I believe 10.10.2? tough to check right now). I can boot into Windows 8 using Boot Camp without incident. I have booted to Disk Utility and run Disk and Permissions Repair. I have booted into Diagnostics, and no issues were found (ADP000 was the Reference Code given). I reset the PRAM, which gave a louder chime than I had been getting when failing to start up OS X, but otherwise no change. Feeling that my options were exhausted, I attempted to restore from Time Capsule, and it won't connect to Time Capsule, despite Time Capsule being the active router whose network I am connected to. Please advise.
(This is my girlfriend's computer, she tells me that she selected an option to perform an automatic update later, that night.)

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
Be sure you only work on the OS X volume, not your Windows volume. I cannot tell you if you will still be able to boot the Windows volume after the above. You will need to find a fix for that.

Macbook Pro 13in retina will not start up, but backlight turns on.

After using it last night, I woke up this morning and my mac was what i thought to be off. But I realized that the back-light was on and nothing else. Now when I try to turn it on the back-light and apple logo come on but there's no start-up sound and when I close the lid they don't turn off. Just fyi I'm running the Yosemite public beta as well but I don't think this is the problem. Cant get anything other than this with multiple restarts. Anyone know something I can do to fix it? Thank you.

Try a SMC reset:

MacBook Pro with Retina display in game graphics and SMC

I recently bought a MacBook Pro with retina display and started playing STC2 on it. I experienced great gameplay with maxed out graphics and 30fps, however recently the fps was down and as part of my trobleshooting I reset the SMC and that seemed to correct the issue. However the computer heats up much faster now and the fans seem to labor to keep it cool. When the fps was lower before i reset the SMC the computer did not get nearly as hot. My question is; is this the OS trying to protect the hardware from overheating or just a glitch?

Well unless you want to go through the hassle of waiting for a replacement unit you can try a few things on your own.
Make sure it is plugged in and charging (Orange LED light will indicate it is charging Green means it is fully charged)
Once it is plugged in make sure everything else is unplugged
The only thing plugged in should be the power adapter
On the left hand side of your keyboard press down and hold the Control Shift and Option Keys
While you are holding down those three keys hold down the power button as well
Hold down all 4 of these for 10 seconds
After 10 seconds let go
Try turning your mac on
If this works problem fixed!
If this does not work try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (You get 90 days of free complimentary phone support on your product)
If you purchased AppleCare you have 3 years of it and you should have this number on hand it can really help you out
I always advise friends and family to purchase applecare if they plan on having their product longer than a year
You will get 3 years of phone support as well as hardware support
That means if you have any questions or anything goes wrong just call Apple
It also means if your computer breaks it is covered! Meaning no out of pocket expenses unless it is water or accidental damage
You may really want to look into purchasing applecare

13" Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina Display overheats and speakers fail.

I have the new 13" Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Have had it for a week and a half now and ever since I got it the speakers have failed completely many times. They start to crackle then stop completely. The speakers just don't respond. I have tried turning my volume all the way up, playing a song and nothing works. I have to restart or shut down the computer before it works again. My other concern is that the computer overheats too much. I am streaming Netflix or watching a YouTube video and it gets really hot. I am afraid of setting my house on fire if I dare to download a game on the MacBook. I am really concerned about the speakers more than the overheating. Is anyone else having this problem or do I just have a bad device? I think I might return it. Please help.

Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook Pro in to an Apple retail store or service provider.

HT1338 When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.

My new MacBook Pro with Retina is very slow to start

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina and surprised/disappointed at how long it takes to show the log in screen. Is this normal? It is slower than my old MacBook.

You are welcome
Many banks are Windows-centric and are concerned about blocking the Swiss cheese software holes. Apple people do not need that junk...and the overhead that comes along with it.

How long does the macbook pro 13 retina battery last

I just recently got my macbook and was wondering this because i am a bit scared. Apple says their battery lasts around 9 hours, what does that mean? If just doing simple work like pages and other programs a like, my battery will last up to 9 or 10 hours but that is when my brightness is less than 60%, it lasts maybe 8 hours at full. However, when I'm doing searches on safari like going on websites and youtube, my battery only lasts about 6.5 hours at 40% brightness, for some reason if i am on netflix it will last longer, maybe for about 7.5 hours 40% brightness. I personally would be happy with 6+ hours and keeping it at a low brightness but if I'm supposed to get more battery than why not?! P.S. When i go on activity monitor it says that none of the applications are using more than 5% (except activity monitor).

Hey samraymond,
Welcome to the Apple family, I’m glad to hear that you have purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Our marketing pages state that the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display can last up to 9 hours. However, please keep in mind that battery life will definitely vary by use and configuration. Our technical specifications page provides more information on the testing that was conducted to determine battery life:
Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Technical Specifications
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Testing conducted by Apple in July 2014 using preproduction 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, and preproduction 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.

Does the Macbook pro non retina also come with haswell processors.. After 22oct 2013 event??, Does the Macbook pro non retina also come with haswell processors.. After 22oct 2013 event??

I am planning to change my Macbook pro and due to office network structure i need a macbook with ethernet port. It seems that the only option i have is the 13 inch macbook pro non retina.. I just wanted to confirm that will the basic non retina model of macbook pro will also come with HASWELL processors or not..? (After the 22 oct 2013 apple event)

13-in remains unchanged since early 2013 update. Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/22/apple-unveils-haswell-based-macbook-pros-with -retina-display/

I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!
