Macbook Pro 2015 Base line model, screen tearing and scroll "lag"

When I scroll up and down I notice "screen lag" in where in applications folder scrolling up and down the icons look slow and sluggish. When I move windows left and right up and down you can see screen tearing, a line mid way of the window when moving it up and down or left and right with heavy ghosting. Am I crazy or my macbook has issues?

Your MBP is under warranty.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it repaired.
Ciao.

  • Picture Included. Mid 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro green/purple lines on screen. Freezes. Sometimes 3 beeps.

    Alright I have a Mid 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro purchased in June 2012. For about the last month, I have this issue where as I am using it random colored lines will show up on the screen (lines usually green, purple, but occasionally the issue occurs while booting and lines are black on white background). As soon as the lines appear, everything freezes. Sometimes the computer automatically reboots. Other times, it will just turn off and start beeping 3 times in a row. AT first, I thought this may be a video card error because it happened a lot when I was watching videos. However, it also happens randomly when I am just using safari/chrome with no other programs runnings. The most annoying part of this issue is that it is completely random. Computer won't act up for maybe 2 days straight during all activities (videos, surfing the web, etc). Then I will have a day where the problem is consistent.
    Also, although I think this is just a correlation, all problems started after upgrading to Yosemite.
    Picture below:
    Does anyone else with a Macbook Pro (especially 2012) have this issue? These two discussions seem to be describing this very situation:
    Screen froze, purple lines, three beeps. Help!
    Macbook Pro screen glitches, 3 beeps, NOT THE RAM

    thanks alex. I'm going to the genius bar later this week for them to get a look at the issue.
    in the meantime, do you have any idea why the problem occurs when I apply a little pressure to the bottom of the computer (under the command screen). here is a video of the situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88C34bHZAd8&feature=youtu.be
    also, i found this thread describing my exact situation: Field of vertical lines all over Macbook Pro screen? (+ freezes, beeps)
    do you have any idea of a solution from reading that?

  • My new Macbook Pro 13 keeps minimizing full screen applications and sending me back to the desktop. Any Help?

    I can't stay in full screen applications without being returned to the desktop within 30 seconds. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or can assist
    I am testing it without running any applications other than safari in full screen. It act like it is "swiping" me back to the desktop screen. I am not touching my trackpad or keyboard.
    Thanks,
    Corey

    Do you have Google Drive installed? At the following thread at least one person had a similar issue as you: for more details please check out this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5526061?tstart=0

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • My 2014 MacBook Pro has a line across the screen when minimizing

    I am having a problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro with the 2.7 Ghz i5 and 8Gb ram.
    When I minimize my screen, irrespective of the program, a white line appears across the desktop and sometimes blinks or stays, then goes away. It does not happen every time...However, I already returned one 2014 MacBook Pro for this issue and now it seems this computer is doing it too. I am running Mavericks 10.9 and to make sure it wasn't anything that I had on the original computer, I did not do a backup from time machine; I reloaded the programs from scratch. I have never had this problem with my macbook air and I have a video of the issue occurring.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    I don't think this is going to do the trick, because the iPad hardware has probably been damaged - but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 2.7 i7 512GB SSD and 16gb Ram with Serious Cuda Problems! Trying to teach Apple their Macbook Pro Retina isn't a Pro Jan. 11. 2015.

    Apple replaced the logic board, wiped the computer, did a fresh instal of the OS, and also a fresh instal of all the programs during the beginning of 2015. The GeekBench scores are the highest of any of the similar computers (at least on the day of my testing). But here's what's happening. The Macbook Pro Retina has a GeForce GT 650m with Cuda Technology and it can't handle editing in Premiere Pro with Cuda Acceleration turned on. Open CL, a second form of graphic acceleration on the Macbook Pro, appears to be functioning properly.
    At the Apple Store on 1-10-2015, I was told that since the logic board and the graphic cards have been replaced that there is nothing they can do and they recommend contacting Corporate. This comes after they told me to buy a new logic board and that that would solve the problem. This comes after Apple did not listen, for over a month, about the possibility that they didn't properly build a professional notebook computer.
    The computer displays a black program monitor screen, at random times, when the user edits footage with Cuda Acceleration enabled. It used to lead to an entire system crash and/or a Premiere Pro crash before the operating system was completely re-installed. My solution, since I bought the computer, was to edit in Open CL... However, I've come to learn that there is a major difference in performance between Open CL and Cuda Acceleration.
    For the Macbook Pro Retina, Adobe Media Encoder render times are about 20% faster with Cuda Acceleration than Open CL. The 2013 Macbook Pro Retina appears to be able to handle Cuda Acceleration in Media Encoder, but I have had a number of issues leading to program crashes on every project before the new logic board and operating system were installed. For over a year and a half, I actually never used Cuda Acceleration. Having sent every crash report and user data to Apple over that time, I truly expected an update of some sorts and it never came.
    FYI: The latest Macbook Pro Retina uses the GeForce GT 750m... This is essentially the same graphic card that performs about 10 - 20% faster due to a new "boost mode." More importantly, it actually has the exact same number of Cuda cores. Having the same number of Cuda Cores means that the Cuda Acceleration is essentially the same when exporting or viewing video. To prove a point to Apple that their 2013 Macbook Pro Retina isn't functioning properly, I bought the latest computer with the 2.5 i7, 16gb Ram, 512gb SSD and I can honestly say that the 2014 model works perfectly fine with Cuda Acceleration turned on while editing in Premiere. I can also say that a proper render test proved the 2013 and 2014 model to be the exact same.
    I'm new to this whole pay $2700 for a computer that your manufacturer didn't / can't test properly, so I will be contacting Apple and speaking with Senior Advisors, their Customer Support division, and will soon speak with their Corporate branch. I'm confident that the Early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with a 2.7 i7 16gb Ram and a 512 SSD is nearly the same at rendering video and editing video, provided the Cuda Acceleration works, as their latest 2014 Macbook Pro Retina with the 2.5 i7 processor 16gb Ram, and a 512 SSD. It's truly a great computer and a great build, minus their current inability to properly test / diagnose their computer.
    Knowing that the latest graphic card in the Macbook Pro lineup is essentially the same model, I feel that Apple is not directly looking into the viability and life span of their current Macbook Pro Retina product line. They can't test for performance issues relating to their graphic cards, so why consider buying from them when the end user is actually in a position to experience up to a 20% decrease in certain professional programs.
    For future reference, I'd strongly urge other individuals to avoid purchasing Apple products if they offer Cuda Technology. In my opinion, Apple is an Open CL organization, at best, who is not responsibly manufacturing / producing computers that fit their organization's strengths. For a fact, they can't test their Cuda Technology and won't even attempt to address Cuda Acceleration errors for Apple owners (01-11-2015). I say this having walked out of the Apple Store on 1-10-2015 with virtually no support other than to contact Corporate.

    Looks like a RAM issue.

    riyazfrombangalore,
    your 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro requires 1066 MHz RAM, but you have 1333 MHz RAM installed. Try replacing the 1333 MHz RAM with 1066 MHz RAM — Macs can be picky about the RAM which they find acceptable.

  • Macbook pro 2015 gaming

    hey thinking about buying macbook pro 2015 i5 16gb ram and 256SSD intel Iris Graphics 6100 just wondering if you guys think it will be able to power a external monitor running at 1080p i want to be able to play sc2 and LoL at solid 60 fps specially sc2 i like constant 60fps but i play sc2 on low setting but might have shaders on medium will that run at the setting i want? and LoL same thing but i like to have characters and environment to very high and AA just wondering if it will be able to handle that because will be using external keyboard and mouse for completive gaming those are my main games on computer anyway and would rather stay with mac then go back to windows but will put windows on my mac if it helps FPS on the machine

    yea i know that i had a gaming pc just i love mac os and want to keep all things on my one machine so i was wondering if it would work because i was going to setup my macbook pro on a stand connected to a monitor 1080p with keyboard and mouse but i think it will work because I've just downgraded my MBA 2013 to mavericks i had yosemite but it was using to much cpu i had better battery and cpu performance on my MBA when i had mavericks any way I'm getting 60fps MBA native res so 1440x900 the fps indicator does sometimes say 27-38 fps but you don't see it at all like nothing and I've always played 60fps so i know when frames drop so i think its going to work anyways but i am making a build up for a cheap gaming pc just for lol and sc2 won't be used for anything else but gaming and streaming game on twitch but would love a macbook pro for the screen and performance would that be a good upgrade from my macbook air 2013 4GB ram and 256 SSD or should i just wait till the next cpu updated because its not a big jump from last years model and the might do i design change this year your think?

    My macbook pro is stuck on grey screen with apple symbol in center with the progress circle under it continusly spinning. After I had turned it on. Prior to turning it on I had to force close and shut down a few hours prior. Please Help I have tried everything I know to do

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

  • Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

    Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
    Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

    What backups do you have?

  • Can I use MacBook pro A1211 with external monitor, screen has died but

    CCan I use MacBook pro A1211 with external monitor, screen has died but computer seems fine

    Hmm seems like this model has DVI out. You could just plug a standard DVI monitor into that. Or use the DVI connector (VGA supported with included adapter; S-video and composite video supported with optional adapters) adapter that came w/ your machine.

  • MacBook or MacBook Pro 2015?

    I am purchasing a new Mac and I Was waiting for the new MacBook to come out this Friday, but I have been reading reviews on the speed and performance of it compared to a Macbook pro 2015 model and it doesn't seem like they compare at all.  I would like the new design and Intel M chip along with the other new features, but the upgraded MB pro is also appealing because of its upgrades.  If the prices weren't so close I would have an easier time making a decision.  Any thought?  Would you go with the MacBook or MacBook Pro 2015?
    thanks

    No one here has ever used that macbook because it is not for sale as yet. I would recommend you to  be wise enough to stay away from the new macbook if your main intentions are Video editing, photo editing, 3D graphics designing or gaming.
    I am not criticising the new macbook but i am only making you aware of the potential of the new macbook. The new Macbook will suffice your needs if your intentions are like web surfing, Checking emails, social networking sites, light video watching, photo viewing, portability etc. To add up more problems, it has got only a single USB-C port which is not yet standardised with the other laptop accessories. If in case, you are running short of power and at the same time you would like to transfer some files onto your external drive, you will have to keep your USB-C adapter handy or else, you will be running around like a headless chicken (No pun intended). The new macbook is far from practical.
    The stupidest integration by Apple is to put a retina display powered by a mediocre 1.1 Ghz Core M processor with an Intel HD 5300 graphics GPU...
                 [LONG STORY SHORT-- BUY A RETINA MACBOOK PRO AND AVOID THE NEW MACBOOK AS PRICES ARE THE SAME.]
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Granel.

  • In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad

    In my MacBook Pro old 2006 late model Lion 10.7.4 how achieve right click from touch pad?

    The multigesture buttonless trackpad was introduced with the Unibody Macs that came out in Late 2008. Successive models have built upon that, adding 2, 3 and more fingers to the gestures.
    Older models don't have the trackpad hardware needed to detect those motions and, hence, cannot support multigestures. Only resort is using combination of keys with the button, as disguise suggests.

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).
