Macbook Pro 2014 Retina display unexpectedly going black

Hello. I have had my 13" Macbook Pro running OS X Version 10.9.5 for a little over a month now and randomly throughout the day, the display will suddenly go black and when I move the mouse, the log-in screen will appear. It has happened while using various apps, so I don't believe it is something app-related. This last time, I was simply tapping the "up" arrow on the keyboard when it happened, so it's not a trackpad gesture either. Has anyone else had this issue while working? Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. It's in warranty, so you should use your warranty.

    my macbook pro (retina display) screen goes black after 4 minutes. when i press the trackpad it comes back.
    I have already deselected all the energy saving options.

    From what you describe, the computer is going to sleep.
    Have you restarted and reset the SMC?

  • Is it applicable to run windows 8 on macbook pro, 13" retina display, mid 2014?

    I wanna bootcamb windows 8 on a macbook pro 13" retina display mid 2014.
    is it possible, specially that my drive is 128 GB only? does windows properly working?

    Hi ..
    It is, but be aware, Windows 8 requires approximately 16GB's of storage space and you would have to partitition the hard drive.
    Strongly recommend reading the entire Boot Camp user guide before proceeding >  Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp
    You will need to purchase a Windows install disc.
    Alternatively, check out VMware as well as Parallels

  • My 2014 MacBook Pro with retina displays crashes when I run Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following specs:
    2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz 
    16 GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
    I am running Premiere Pro CS5 with Mercury Playback GPU Acceleration enabled, but my computer keeps freezing and I have to restart it every time.   Any kind of help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had to call Apple and the tech made me enter a bunch of terminal commands to fix this. Unfortunately I can't tell you excactly what it was. I think the best way would be to call Apple.

  • My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

    My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

    You can only exchange or upgrade your macbook pro for a retina macbook if you are within the 14 days purchase time frame. After the 14th day, you are no longer eligible for an exchange or any upgrade but only for free repairs.
    Limited warranty doesn’t mean you would be eligible for an exchange or an upgrade, but its a time period in which your existing macbook hardware and software issues are rectified free of cost.
    Hope this helps.....

  • Macbook pro with retina display power adapter popped / exploded!

    I was just charging my macbook pro with retina display when a loud "pop" noise came from the power adapter and the red light on the magsafe2 connector went out. I unplugged it all immediately, but there was a burnt kind of smell and bit of black 'sooty' type material around one of the edges of the adapter!
    Thankfully the rMBP appears fine.
    I actually just got a replacement rMBP as the other one had a small scratch on the body. So both the charger and the rMBP that was atached at the time of the pop, will be returned in a few days anyway. Still I am a little alarmed by it all. The charger was plugged into a 6-way extension adapter with surge protection, so I don't think it was a power surge. And anyway my tv (also plugged into the socket adapter) was on at the time and there was no problem there. Can I assume it was just a fault in the adapter? I will tell them about it of course when I call up tomorrow to arrange the return. I just hope the same isn't going to happen with the new rMBP and charger!
    Has anyone else suffered a similar "pop" and broken adapter?

    Apple's warranty IS international. You have a one-year warranty when you buy the machine and you can extend that - and your phone support - to three years by purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan, which is international as well.
    Good luck with your new computer!

  • Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display, screen issue since most recent update.

    I had the software update downloaded on my Macbook Pro with Retina display for awhile, and finally got around to installing it. Once I installed it my screen had a little twitch where my screen would look normal but the top of the screen the finder bar, with the wifi icon, battery icon, spotlight icon would also appear on the bottom of the screen yet everything above it appeared normal. I reinstalled os x lion and it was fixed but their are now little black horizontal lines all across my screen, the resolution is fine enough to use but I'm wondering why these lines appear. The lines sometimes go away, also sometimes when I open my laptop my screen has a ultraviolet greenish, purple tint to it that goes away after awhile of sitting. I've determined that my screen is an LG screen and I know they have issues. I was wondering if anyone had the same issues to this and possibly a fix? The laptop was purchased July/2012.

    Hello, did you solve your problem? I have now something like you with my Macbook Pro Retina :-/

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • I just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and since then put it on 6-7 hours of charging but still my macbook pro is not 100% charged. but why? (green light is displayed on the adapter pin)

    i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.

    Hello Shailendras33,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!  Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue. 
    Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
    When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
    MagSafe connector starts to glow.  An amber light indicates the battery is charging.  A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
    MacBook Pro User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
    It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting.  I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • Windows XP on macbook pro with retina display?

    I am going to be helping a client with putting Windows XP on a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display later this week.
    This client has two programs that are XP-specific, and MUST be run by booting XP fully and not virtually with Parallels or other options.
    So we are going to be using bootcamp.
    We have the XP install disc, and an external USB CD/DVD drive from Apple.
    I've found postings online about people installing more recent flavors of Windows (Vista, 7, etc) on these machines
    but I haven't found anything about Windows XP on the MBPro with retina display.
    Anyone have any tips to share?
    This should still be possible and not a big problem, right?
    Yes, I know the resolution will likely be the biggest issue, but it should still install and run, yes?
    Thank you for any helpful info anyone can provide.

    First off there are no programs that are XP specific and no programs, that I know of or ever heard of, that can not run in XP in a virtual machine.
    Most all programs that will run on XP will run on Win 7, unless they are older programs. Those older program that will run on XP and not on Vista or 7 will also run on Win 2000 or 98SE. So as stated before I don't know of any programs that will only run on XP and no other operating system.
    A Virtual Machine is Just That, IE a set of Virtual hardware. The Operating system has No Idea it is running in a Virtual Machine on top of a Host operating system. They are completely separate except for the VM using some of the physical hadware in the host computer. Like the USB ports, the network interfaces and the CD/DVD drive. And the VM software is made to allow those devices to look like they are part of a Physical computer the VM OS is running on.
    So I have not idea what these programs could be that would not run on/in a Virtual Machine with XP Installed.
    Please let me know for future reference.
    So your options are.
    1) Install a Virtual Machine software program. VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox. Then install Win XP into a Virtual Machine.
    2) Buy and older Windows computer that will run XP natively. It doesn't need to be that old, 3-4 years old will do as most all major PC manufacturers have XP drivers for their 3-4 year old computers and most if not all hardware manufacturers, Vid cards, Ethernet & WiFi cards, still list drivers for XP.

  • Is a MacBook Pro w/ Retina display worth the price?

    Apple community-
        Looking at purchasing portability for school- going to work on an MFA in graphics/web/new media, and need some assistance.  I've an iMac from 2007, seems to run flawlessly, but looking at options for taking school with me while at work- I'm currently travelling five different states in my current position.  The new MacBook Pro with Retina display looks stunning, albeit expensive, but has many features that worry me.
        For instance, everything is completely bolted/soldered/non-upgradeable, so any desire of modification needs to be purchased pre-production, right?  Also, the big issue with their PCIe "Flash based" storage... exactly what is this, and why is it so freaking expensive?  I've read different reports on Apple using various manufacturers, so not every MacBook as the same storage model, no third party attempts at upgrades, etc..  If I'd like to install numerous, monstrous programs, such as the entire Adobe Creative Suites, 3D Max, Maya, Final Cut, and so forth, I'll need a high capacity memory drive, as I assume most, if not all of these, need a root drive to install, and not simply an external hard drive.  I still make CDs/DVDs, so a SuperDrive is another $80.
        Chatting with an Apple representative, she stated that there is "only one model that will run my software at peak performance," which was the 15-inch model, starting at $2k; also, my software needed a "dedicated graphics card,"  I'm not too certain that it needs all that, and a high-end PC laptop could certainly run all of my demands- but let's face it, this is an Apple discussions community, and I'm plain simply accustomed to working on an Apple computer.  Plus, I don't really care for Windows 8.
        Should I possibly aim to purchase an older model used, something without Retina, but with more storage?  Is Retina that big of a deal for a laptop?  I also considered the possibility of just toting a Mac Mini with a 13-inch Cintiq tablet; though it does need a constant power supply, it's still quite portable.
        Thoughts?  Am I just overthinking this?  I've been expecting a MacBook to be expensive, but this could be pushing it a bit.
    Cheers!

    guiparent,
    whether it’s worth the price or not is an entirely subjective opinion. My own choice was to buy a used non-Retina 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and replace its hard drive with a SSD; but since I don’t use graphic-intensive apps such as the Adobe Creative Suite, my own choice would most likely not be best for you. Given your graphic design background, if you find the non-Retina displays sufficient for your needs, I’d recommend that you consider a used 15-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. That model has memory sockets, so you can replace/upgrade the RAM if needed; its internal disk can be replaced by/upgraded with any 2.5-inch 9.5-mm-high SATA hard disk or SSD; and it has a built-in SuperDrive.

  • What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

    I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining.  I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows.  I have heard that the best PC is a Mac.  Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7.  The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

    Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
    Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
    Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
    My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...
