Macbook pro retina 15" - Windows 8 closing lid heat issue

Hi Guys
i am running the latest version of bootcamp in my Windows 8 enterprise OS,
when i close my lid and put my laptop in my bag i find that the laptop continues to run and the fans go crazy, the laptop get very hot and battery drains.
i have set my laptop to shutdown when i close my lid on all my power plans....
i dont know why it stays on.... can you help?

Does this happen to your retina when booted to OS X? I have heard of it happening even then.
You do know that you don't need to use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac. But if you do that you erase the OS X side.
If you are running Windows as your Primary Operating System you might consider installing Windows natively without OS X on the system. Just a thought.
So it would seem it would be best for you to Shut Down when you are putting the system away in your bag or take it in and have it looked at. Something isn't right, especially if it happens on the OS X side also.

New Macbook Pro Retina continually re-starting when lid is closed - Kernal Panic included

Hello,
I called 800-MYAPPLE for tech support but they were not able to help me at all, hoping someone here can help. My new MacBook Pro Retina has been continually re-starting when the lid is closed. It does not happen every time, may 20% of the time. I am running Windows 8 on Boot Camp if that piece of information is important. Here is the latest kernal panic from the log:

Macbook Pro Retina's screen with a lot of issues (big vertical lines)

I discovered recently that my MacBook Pro Retina have a lot of strange verticales lines on the screen.
Not visible in current usage, but when I switch to dashboard and his black background sreen I can clearly see those issues.
Anyone get this problem?
Have to change my computer?

I would certainly take it into an Apple Store and, if you can reproduce the problem for them, insist that it be fixed. If you're within your 14-day grace period, you can exchange your unit for another, no questions asked.

Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch possible display/logic board issue?

Ive had this problem when opening up FaceTime windows or notification center windows. the screenshot is provided (http://imgur.com/1h6fip4). i have run an apple hardware test the normal one and the extended one and it said it has no problems to report. I'm not sure where to go because this behavior is clearly not normal. and if its a display problem it should not register on the screen shot. If any one has any idea what to do or what tests to run, please let me know. if you have any questions regarding the model of my mac, please let me know and i will respond. I honestly do not know whats going on and I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Make an appointment with an Apple Genius, and discuss your options.

Macbook pro retina does not recognize Tiki USB microphone

Pick an app and select your Display's camera. How you do this differs among apps. For some examples you can test, see iMac + 24" ACD: Apple Support Communities

HT204032 When is the MacBook Pro Retina update supposed to be released this is crazy!

Is there any ETA for the SMC Update for MacBook Pro Retina notebooks?

Hi Jose. The issue you're having with your battery depends on how much you've used it in one week as well. Here are some suggestions on what to do. First, update your Macbook Pro. You should have the latest firmware for your battery. Second, you can try resetting the SMC. Calibrating the battery would also be a good idea. If all fails, since its a fairly new MBP, try asking for a battery replacement. Go to the store where you bought the machine and have it checked or replaced. Here are the links on how to reset SMC and Battery Calibration. Good luck.

MacBook Pro Retina 2013 will freeze if waked from long sleep if left with open lid

Hello!
Have a strange problem.
My new MacBook Pro Retina 13 will not wake from sleep state if left with open lid for a long period of time. (8-12 hours)
Ship happens ONLY in this case and only if left with open lid.
Screen lights up, I see a user window with password invitation - but no mouse pointer is present and keyboard doesn't respond and the apple on the backside of the lid is light up even if I close the lid.
TimeCapsule backups are creted during sleep state, no other malfunctions detected during use - laptop funtions normally from any side except this problem

Solved.

What hbmi cord do I need to connect my Macbook Pro retina display to a Windows desktop?

I'm trying to connect my Windows desktop to my Macbook Pro retina dispay so i can transfer CD's. ALthough I dont know what cord to get.

Your post is a little confusing. HDMI is for connecting video, like hooking your Mac to a TV. It sounds like you want to transfer files. If you have a wireless network, just share the folder with the music on your Windows machine and you should be able to copy it to your Mac.

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

Trouble installing Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro Retina mid 2014

Hi everyone
I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina (mid 2014, 15", 2.8GHz, 1TB SSD) and wanted to install Windows 8.1 on it via bootcamp.
I have an official .ISO package of Windows 8.1 (it's x64, I checked), got it from MS Dreamspark as a student, and a valid serial number for it, of course.
Burned the image on a 16gb flash drive via bootcamp and proceeded to install. When asked by windows installer which partition to install on, selected bootcamp and clicked 'format', as it was recommended to do in various instructions on the internet (as it wouldn't install without formatting, I tried). The installation went good and finished, but immedeatly after that the installer gave me a notification "Impossible to update computer loading configuration, installation cancelled" (maybe it's not exactly like that, translated as accurately as I could, I'm installing windows in Russian).
I tried it twice, each time re-burning the installation drive. Got the same error each time.
All the software (OS X, bootcamp, etc.) is up to date, the macbook shouldn't have any problems as it was bought just a few days ago.
How can I solve this problem?

yes sorry if it ruin the ending of one of the youtube clips you will be witching if you have problems as how you install windows in bootcamp

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.

HT5266 best resolution in windows 8.1 on macbook pro retina 15 ?

Hi
which resolution is the best in windows 8.1 on macbook pro retina 15 ? for software Like SolidWorks or the other? because the recommended resolution is good but some software like SoliWorks not optimized for retina resolution !!!
Thanks

Is your rMBP a dual-GPU model, or does it only have the Intel Iris GPU?

Better Display Driver under Windows 8 than Windows 7 for MacBook Pro Retina?

Anyone happen to know if the display support for a MacBook Pro Retina is better under Windows 8 than it is under Windows 7?
Ideally, I would like to be able to run 2880x1800 at True Color as well as have the HDMI out fuction as a second display (maching the behaviour while booted under Max OS X 10.8).
Under Windows 7, the highest resolution that supports True Color is 1600x1200. This would be okay if that setting did not distort the picture (everything is slightly squeezed). At 2880x1800, the highest color depth is High Color (16-bit) which is, well, not something one can actually use if doing graphics work. On my 27" iMac, 2680x1600 supports True Color as expected.
Also under Windows 7, the display connected via HDMI is not recognized.
I've contected both Apple care support and Microsoft support about this, but Apple referred me to Microsoft and Microsoft referrred me back to Apple.
Thanks,
Warren
P.S. Personally, I think it's rediculous to even attempt to do graphics work under Windows, but tell that to the Windwows based corporate world that I freelance in.

Yes, there is a better display driver for the MacBook Pro Retina while running Windows 7 Pro.
And, the answer is so obvious, that I feel a little silly having started this thread in the first place!
The Windows 7 Professional NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M card need to be installed manually by downloading them from NVIDIA directly.
If you need to do this on your MBPr Boot Camp volume, use this link:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Then, set the pop-up menus based on your MBPr. [Mine were as follows: GeForce; GeForce 600M Series (Notbooks); GeForce GT 650M; Windows 7 64-bit: English (US)]
What tipped me off to this is that the CUDA drivers need to be downloaded manually on the Mac OS X side to take full advantage of raytracing in Adobe After Effects CS6 and CC. As soon as I started to run that installer it dawned on me, "Hey, you probably need to install the drivers on the Boot Camp side as well." And sure enough after doing so, I am able select all of the expected resolutions as well as run 2880 x 1800 at Millions of Colors (32-bit).
I guess I'm showing my nearly three decades worth of being a Mac user where I'm accustomed to having about everything needed included with the OS.

MacBook Pro Retina, good enough for a few of After Effects? Or should I go for Windows Laptop?

Hello!
I'm now a college student ! And I'll need to get a new laptop We will be using it for CAD, MathLab etc.,
But I practice on AE, I'm no expert at all (i don't even know some of the controls and keyboard shortcuts), I do like 'opening titles', a bit of 'harry potter effects', etc. I'm really interested in the new Retina Display MacBook Pro (base model), it will be the first time I ever get a Mac if I go for it
But of course, the price is really high, so I have my doubts - the specs of the rMBP is not that superb - i think only the resolution is.
My question is, will the base model rMBP give a decent After Effects CS6 performance, or a significantly worse performance than Windows Laptops at it's price?
Thank your for your time
Please ask me anything so I can help you better to help me

I have a decked out MacBook Pro Retina and it works very well for all CS6 apps. It's actually faster by a bunch than I thought a laptop could be. I have several personal reasons for going Mac. They are my personal preferences and experience for reliability, stability, and customer service. I'm not married to OSX. If a better system for me was available I'd be using it. The for me is the critical part of that statement.
The biggest advantage of Mac computers is that there is very little chance that the components have not been fully tested and integrated. The QA/QC in all Mac hardware is some of the best in the world. Every Mac I've ever owned has been virtually trouble free mechanically and outlasted every windows machine I've ever owned. Apple does make mistakes and fouls things up, but the chance that you are going to end up with a machine that just works and runs and runs is much higher than anything built from the variety of components available on Windows machines.
Now my comments on windows machines. There are more manufacturers that I can count. There are more hardware combinations that I can imagine. Some manufactures produce excellent products. Some are just junk. Some last a very long time. Some breakdown all the time. If you were to go Windows make sure you check out the reputation and the warranty of the company building your machine. I've only owned one really high end Windows machine from a high end manufacturer. It ran just fine for about a year and a half before it needed some major component replacements. The warranty was out, there was no extended warranty available from that manufacturer, so the repairs cost me about 1/3 of the purchase price. If I'd gone with a company with a better service policy I would have saved a boatload of cash in the long run. Every other windows box that I've owned has been built from scratch or purchased in a shoe string. It took a fair amount of monthly maintenance to keep them running well.
You mentioned CAD... Audocad on the Mac side is really crippled. My associate has the full Autocad Civil Engineering package running on his MacBook Pro Retina under Parallels. It's working fine. It's one of the largest and most complex CAD packages available. It actually works better on the Mac than it does on his HP laptop and the Mac batteries last a lot longer. The HP laptop cost about half what the MBPro did. It's about 6 months older. It's not as loaded. If you were to replace the HD in the HP laptop with the same capacity SSD that is in the MBPro and bump the memory up to 16GB the HP would still be less expensive than the MBPro by about 18%. The HP is plastic and aluminum with a display screen that's very sensitive to scratches and damage by pressure. The HP is not compatible with CS6's ray traced rendering or Mercury playback for PPro. There is an HP model that is though.
You be the judge. Balance your budget and the software requirements with the expectations of reliability, service, customer service, and resale value and make your choice.
