Macbook Pro Retina 13" wont boot after update. (28.01.2014)

Ok.
I got a notification that i have an update avalible, and i install it. It installs just fine and the Mac turns off.
When I boot, the apple logo shows, and a progress bare appears, and seems to complete the update.
But when the progressbar hits 100% it just turns of again. When i turn it on again, same thing happens.
Its only 1 week old, and nothing else has been bad with it.

You have 14 days from date of purchase to return the machine and exchange it for another. Unless you want to jump through some hoops to try to 'fix' what's wrong with your unit?
Try booting into your Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive. I don't know that this will help - you may be stuck in some sort of infinite loop - but it's worth a try.

MacBook Pro 8,2 wont boot after Ubuntu live test and long press shutdown

i was trying ubuntu 12.10 on my Mac in a live environment the other day, and as usual the fans were spinning very fast and the system got hot. So i rebooted into OS X and then while using the Macbook, the fans started spinning unusually fast! So i long pressed the power button and it turned off. when i rebooted however, it flashed the little LED (i think thats what its called, on the right side of the front) rapidly and beeped. then after like 20 seconds, the chime but as soon as it had chimed, the mac rebooted and repeated the chime-reboot about 4 times. Then it boots up normally into OS X. I read online about manually flashing firmware but alas, no joy. Now my Mac just crashes anyhow and even if i try to use it by keeping it on sleep all the time, it just wont wake or it just crashes. Please help, i have no warranty and i dont live in a country where we have an apple genius bar or the like .

It's your hardware. Your model must have been released with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 or later. You should have the needed version on the original discs that came with the computer. If no discs came with the computer then it came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed. If this is the case then see the following:
How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
What has to be done:
1. Create a new partition on the hard drive.
2. Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard
        system onto the new partition.
Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
1. 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.
          After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3.           In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4.           Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
Option One:
Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB
flash drive.
Option Two:
If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's
internal drive.
After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
          Restore the clone using Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
You will need a retail copy of Snow Leopard. If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.

Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp ?

Hallo guys, i have a big problem with installing Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp. No matter what i try i get a black screen after partitioning or get a message like " No bootable disk" or " No System Disk availabe".
My Mac has : OS X version 10.8.2, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB memory, 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and is only a week old
My Boot Camp is version 5.0.1
My Windows InstallingDVD is one year old now, i needed it to build a PC last year, hope that doesnt make a difference, its a full version, so not just for upgrading.
From what i saw in the apple support it should work on my macbook. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, problem solved. I looked a bit more here in the questions and there was the answer and its quite simple.
Somehow an USB-stick makes problems while Windows wants to install, i dont know why. So i just made everything over DVDs and now everything works fine.

My Internal HD became corrupt and it would not boot up so I installed My osx onto a new HD via usb and then inserted into my macbook pro but it wont boot up. It will only boot up if i connect via usb how can i boot it as an internal HD?

Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad. Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS. Just maybe right genius? Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities. (I did say "if it does")
Thank you

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) - Boot Camp/Win 7 - Num Lock Problem

Hey,
I have a client who has a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) who is experiencing a problem when booted into Windows 7 via Boot Camp in that he cannot type certain character like # (hash character by keystroke alt + 3) without Windows 7 error bleeping at him. He needs the # character as part of his password for logging into webmail.
The Boot Camp setup has the latest Boot Camp drivers installed (this was a fresh Boot Camp setup/install today) and every other part of the hardware works I suspect that this problem is not a key mapping problem but more something to do with Windows registering Num Lock as being active.
If the problem is that Num Lock is enabled then what is the keystroke to disable Num Lock? I thought it was fn + 6 but did this change since the Unibody MacBooks?
I understand that there are ways of resurrecting number pad fuctionality as decribed in the MacWorld article (see link below) but this is a Mac OS X System Preference and as such would not operate when booted into Windows via Boot Camp.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

New Macbook Pro does not start up after updating...HELP!!!

Hi,
My new Macbook Pro does not start up after it got updated. The first time I used it, it was perfect. I updated it and restarted it when it told me to but it doesn't boot. It shows an apple and a spinning circle when it turns on but that's it.
Can somebody please help me?

MacBook Pro Retina, won't boot with USB3 attached.

Hi!
Enjoying my new computer(ofcourse), thought i ran into a troublesome problem:
I plugged in Flashdrive 2, restarted and starting to hold alt to get into the boot menu.
But it never showed up(tested for about 5min), the screen showed up in gray, but then no more action was seen.
I pulled out Flashdrive 2 and had to hold the power key for a hard stop.
Then started the computer as normal and the boot menu showed up just as normal!
I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 1.
And the very same course was repeated.
Again I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 3 (with the very same ISO on it).
The install of windows succeded without any problem at all!
Note: When booted up in OSX i can read and format all the drives wiihout any type of error.
Computer: MacBook Pro Retina; RAM: 8gb, SSD: 256gb. MacBook Pro and Air Update 1.0 Installed.
Flashdrive 1a: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Ubuntu, bootable.
Flashdrive 1b: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Empty
Flashdrive 2: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Windows 8, bootable.

MacBook Pro Retina won't wake after after sleeping!

On most occasions after my 13" MacBook Pro Retina has been put to sleep (by closing lid or pressing Power button) overnight it will not wake up again until I have reset the Systems Management Controller. Opening the lid, or Power button or Space bar still leaves a black screen.
My wife's new 11" MacBook Air suffers similar problems even after our local Apple Store reinstalled Mavericks in an attempt to resolve the problem..
Any thoughts on a solution would be gratefully received - thanks.

Macbook Pro Retina Mountain lion freezes after deep sleep

Hello All,
I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Since about January time It keeps crashing after I put it into a deep sleep. After closing the lid - waiting for 1 hour or so - then reopening the lid, i get presented with the normal Apple login screen (breifly) and then it crashes and i get a grey screen saying my mac has had an issue and it needs to restart.
When i log back on i get an error message that I can send onto Apple and then my Mac carries on as normal. Very weird.
I have searched these forums, been into the Apple store, spoken to Apple done hardware diagnostics, reinstalled the OS (worked breifly then stopped working again) - so i assume its one of the programs or bits of hardware that i use (which i have tried to isolate/remove)- but i am still strugling to solve these issues.
It would be great if someone could give me some advice around:
1. Where I can find these log files/error messages, etc.
2. Understanding what it is causing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
Hope this helps.

MacBook Pro Retina 13" - Battery Issues after one week!

Specs of Unit
MacBook Pro retina 13" - bought literally one week ago
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1024 MB
OS X Version 10.9.2
Problem - Okay so the estimated battery life of these babies are 9 hours approx.
After a full charge I am getting an EST. time of about 4.30-5 hours battery life, bare in mind this is with NO programs running and NO background tasks sneakily rinsing the battery.
Yes, I have tried reseting the system management.
Yes, I have tried safe mode.
Please help me, is the battery faulty and should I really go to mac store??
Or is this a software issue?
Thanks

Does switching off Wifi make a difference?
In UK and USA (and quite a few other places) you have 14 days from purchase to get a refund or replacement - no questions asked. If there is nothing running then this does sound to be depleting rather fast. My late 2013 13" MBP retina gives me about 10 hours using Pages (several documents open) and e-mail only.
Get a replacement and see if you get the same problem.
