MacBook Pro (Fall 2013) - display lag / full screen problem on 10.9.2

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought last November.
Specs: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris 1024 MB, 500 GB Flash Storage.
It was a pretty big upgrade from my Fall 2010 Macbook Air. When I first bought it a couple times the screen scrambled for half a second on ocassion. I had Apple check it and they found no problems with the hardware. After a software update, that has never happened again.
However, in the last month (after I updated to 10.9.2) I've had two issues - both display related:
1 - When the display is off I normally hit the trackpad and the display instantly pops back on. Now however, the screen comes up black with only the cursor visable for about 5 seconds. The cursor moves fine, so the screen isn't frozen, but this is new and a lag I've never had on any on my macs before.
2 - Full screen is messed up ever since the update as well. It's either blown up, or sqeezed, but never actually in full screen. See picture below:
I ran the disk utilty in start up mode and repaired my disc and permisions. Ran Onyx. No change. I hope 10.9.3 will address this! Any suggestions or information are appreicated.

Have you reset the SMC and the PRAM?

No, the Apple warranty for Macs does not cover accidental damage.

MacBook Pro Retina 2013 - Display Problems in iTunes

I just got my new MacBook Pro 13" Retina a few days ago from the Apple Online Store - there was the problem that the display flickered in itunes everytime when i started up a movie or in the iTunes Store the trailer of movies / and tv shows. Otherwise if i stopped the video in the full screen mode and gone back with esc to the itunes store there came up for few seconds the last pictures of the played movie.
I called to apple and they sent me a new one with (i cannot believe) the really same issue ...... now my question - has anybody of you the same problem or can help me and look it up if there's the same in itunes with that model - I am not sure if its a software problem or a hardware issue with for example the graphics

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

Macbook pro crashes after display is full of vertical stripes.

hello all.
I have a 2.2Ghz intel core duo 15" macbook pro, with mac os 10.4.11, bought in July 2007. never had any issues since.
about a year ago, i upgraded the RAM to 4G, no problems.
and then yesterday, it started happening. Crashes like i'd never seen before, the screen locks, vertical blue stripes on the display.
Have to force a reboot, and the second reboot usually doesn't work, i get the international message telling me that I need to reboot again.
then it boots up again, only for a little while.
the crashes happen at any moment, not using a specific program, can be while browsing with firefox, using VLC, using openoffice, anything.
I tried the disk utilities check up on the hard disk, and it was fine.
I did all the mac osx updates, but it still crashed.
I tried a clean of all caches etc with Onyx, but the problem persisted.
I tried zapping the PRAM, but it still crashed.
I tried removing the extra RAM i'd added a year ago, but it still crashed.
I booted on an external firewire 800 HDD i have with a backup system, but still got the crash...
seems to be the video card...
this couldn't have come at a worst time for me, as I'm currently flat broke AND with work to do.
I really really hope this can be fixed without having to send it to repairs.
here's the crash log :

i think the current kernel panics are related to the logic board changes after the nvdia graphic bug... any clues as to what errors

might be ?

Macbook pro late 2013 display have physical mark. Not accidental. What can i do?

Hello!
I bought 2 months ago an amazing new macbook pro 13', late 2013. I just saw that there is a very little 'hole' in the screen at the level where left corner of the trackpad (near of keyboard). I have absolutely not done it accidentally. I take care of it so much, its my baby. I mean, such a procy baby, gotta take care of it, i clean smoothly and etc.
Is there anything i can do about it with apple? It doesnt go away. I study in graphic design so this little thing is like, high disturbance, like, bigger than dead pixels...
thank you for any help.

About all you can do is take it to the Genius Bar and make your case. It's pretty much up to them as to whether they feel it's manufacturing defect or something you did. Had you found it in the first 2 weeks it likely wouldn't have been an issue. They're generally very nice people.
Good luck.

Why is my macbook pro spontaneously swiping out of full screen mode?

I have a 2 week old 13 inch MBP retina (256GB, 8GB ram, 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB, OSX 10.8.2) which was working fine until yesterday. I have accounts on it for each of my 3 kids, one for my wife, and one for me. When using any application in full screen mode, it now spontaneously swipes itself back to the blank desktop "space" after less than a minute. It previously worked as expected in full screen mode, and currently works fine when viewing applications without the full screen mode. Then, today it started displaying my log-in screen with inverted colors (color negative). The colors revert to normal immediately after logging in. This all initially started after accidentally clicking the airplay icon while my apple TV was off, and then exiting airplay mode...which may be unrelated. My youngest is also a bit of a keyboard masher, so he may have changed a setting with a keystroke combination. Any ideas? I have tried rebooting, and I even tried Shift-Control-Option-Power while plugged in with the power off (SMC reset?). Here's a pic of the color inversion:

I don't see a screen shot, as promised, in your original post - maybe if you post a screen shot and indicate exactly what happened before the screen inversion someone could be of help.
Most of the time when folks don't answer your queries around here we either don't understand the problem/question completely or not enough information is given to understand the problem.

MacBook Pro and External Display on full resolution

I want to use only my external 20" cinema display, connected to my MBP. So what I do is connect the display via the DVI cable, close the lid of the notebook, wake it up from the keyboard/mouse (now I have the full resolution of the Cinema Display), open the lid so I can use the keyboard and the trackpad. This is all right with me, but when I restart or after sleep MacBook's display turns on and is set up as primary and the Cinema Display goes to Dual View mode. Is there a way the laptop to remember the external Display as primary, so I don't always have to close the lid, wake up the laptop and open the lid.
For instance, when I've done this for the first time in Windows, I didn't have to do it again. Now every time I log in in Windows, the macbook's display automatically turns off and the Cinema Display gets its full resolution. This is what i want to be done when I boot in Mac OS.

I know both scenarios (OS X/Windows), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as your internal display is open while waking from sleep or booting up, it will be always on in OS X. I'm only using my external Cinema Display and keep the MBP's lid closed all the time. Of course, I use an external keyboard and mouse as well. You can only choose which display has the menu bar on it, but you can't turn it off without sleeping the Mac. In Windows the ATi/Nvidia drivers take care of your settings, but it won't be applied until you get to the Desktop, so you'll still have the internal display on while booting Windows...

Why 15' Macbook Pro with Retina Display Shows 4K Resolution?

I discover a very interesting problem when taking a screen capture in 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina display under different screen resolution settings.
Please see the image below first.
Info on the Left : Screen captured in "Default" setting, which is the best retina setting, everything is huge and very Sharpe.
Info on the Right: Screen captured under the "More Space" setting, which everything looks small and give more space.
The problem is the screen captured file pixel resolution in each screen resolution settings:
The "Default" screen setting showing the correct pixels at 2880 by 1800 which is perfect.
The "More Space" setting is showing 3480 by 2400, at 4K resolution.
My question is:
Why is that when the display is under "More space" setting result with more pixels?
Can anyone help me to explain this with this please?

I'm not sure what is to explain. "More space" works by pretending that there are more pixels available on the screen than the physical screen has, so it's not too surprising that a screen shot should have more pixels.

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.

Tiny white spot on MacBook Pro With Retina Display Screen

I bought my MacBook Pro with retina display on July 10,2012 It has been working fine but then, I noticed a white spot on the left side of the screen. It's real tiny, proably not even an inch big but I can see it. Other peole have not been able to see it, But I can. I spoke to AppleCare, they said to mail it in to have them look at it since I don't live near an Apple Store. But is it really worth sending my computer in for something that is so small? It is also too late to return my computer.
P.S I think and so does AppleCare, that it is a dead pixel
Should I send it in? Has anyone ever mailed in their computer to Apple before? What is it like? Is it a good or bad experiance? How long does it take for you to get it back?
Thank You!

I think we have the same issue. I bought my Macbook rpo retina last sept 2012. I jsut discovered it recently as I often watch Tv shows on my ipad3. I happened to watch a tv show in my mbpr lately and saw this tiny white flickering dot on the top left corner of my display. I see it only intermittently meaning in some instances you see it sometimes not. It only happens when in full screen using QT player. If I minimize it and back to ful scrn, the dot disappears. After few mins it may or may not show up.
I brought it to apple customer service and they cant duplicate the issue. I told them its random and they should wait for it. They said theyve been watching tv shows in full scrn for 2 days already and it didnt happen. I even showed them video clips - I record the tiny dot flickering using my iPhone - but still they cant reproduce the issue. After I brought it back home, I immediately watch a TV show and see it once again. It dosappears once you minimize it and returning to full scrn mode the flickering disappears.
So I thought Why would it disappear once I minimize it? If its hardware then it should be there all the time! and so I use VLC player instead to check if it would happen as well. for sevral days, I used vlc player to watch all movies/videos and IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL! There is no tiny white dot flickering with VLC! and so I thought maybe this is firmware or driver...and so when the macbook pro has an update recently about 2.0 something...I thought it would resolve the issue but it didnt.
I have inserted a copy of the flickering tiny white dot...

13" macbook pro retina 2013 problem: blank screen when waking up from standby

I bought a 13" macbook pro retina 2013 about 3 months ago and it is for about a week or two that I encountered a problem: when I close the lid and open it after a while(or it goes to standby by not using it for some time and then I wake it up by pressing a button), sometimes it shows a blank dark screen(with mouse cursor) for about 15 seconds and then either the screen is turned off(and by pressing a key it shows the login screen) or it shows the normal login screen.

I also have this problem, and now the
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is not working at all
I use gfxCardStatus for work on integrated card and i can't use other displays obviously, because all video outputs (HDMI & Thunderbolt) are taking their ways from discrete card (but working on other displays is my profession of audiovisual artist). My world guarranty is over now, new motherboard costs near 1500 $ and now i don't want what to do.Maybe reballing of videochip will help me, but i'm afraid that not autorised service in my country will kill my motherboard at all. This is my first mac & i have lost many time for take the money for buyng it. I have so much frustration.

Can I use my late 2013 Macbook pro as a display for my xbox one. I am currently sick with the flu and I do not have a tv in my room. Is there anyway to use the hdmi port on my mac and connect it to the xbox one?

I am currently sick with the flu and in my room I dont have a tv. I tried plugging my xbox one's hdmi into the hdmi port on my macbook pro late 2013 retina display. I even tried connecting the hdmi cable to a hdmi mini display mort converter and that didnt work. How can I use my Macbook as a monitor to play game on

I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input. I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching. I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio. But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone. Am I missing something? Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack?

Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:
