Macbook pro retina 15 won't sleep, fan runs hard

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15" will not sleep when I close the cover. When I return to it, the fan is running full blast. This has happened every so often ever since it was new and is now happening again. All apps are closed.

Try an SMC reset. Follow the method "for a battery you should not remove yourself."

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) fan runs excessively for no reason?

I purchased this new MacBook Pro in late 2014, and have not had any issues until recently. On startup, and when sitting idle, the computers fans speed up rapidly for no apparent reason, and the system temporarily lags up for a few seconds before the fans slow down again. This happens a few times an hour, when in use or even idle, with no applications open, and no ports in use. Activity monitor says that a Kernel_task is running at over 300% CPU when this occurs. I ran a hardware diagnostics test (restart holding 'D') which said I may have an issue with SMC, and after looking at older forums I found that I may need to reset SMC, which I did (following the instructions from apple), with no change to the situation. Does anyone know what the issue may be and how I might be able to fix it?
Thanks,
-Michael

There's nothing wrong with the battery. Your MBP simply seems to use quite a lot of power. Try to find out what's causing that with Activity Monitor: How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If that doesn't solve it, try the four steps in this topic: Guide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage

Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on.

Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on. The charger light is orange. I tried all tips that Apple provides on the official site - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267. Any ideas?

If you purchased it from Apple directly, they have a 14 exchange or refund policy. Keep that in mind when you go to the store.
Ciao.

My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.

Macbook pro retina 13 fail to sleep late 2013

macbook pro retina 13 fail to sleep late 2013

Remove Chrome (and Google Drive if you have it). Higher temps when using Netflix are normal, Silverlight (which Netflix uses) is a resource hog, get used to it or stop using Netflix.
Let's see what else you are running. Download a copy of Etrecheck and run it. Post the report here.

Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

Hello,
Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
Thanks,
FF

Have you tried resetting SMC?

I just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely. Does RemoteHD work on a machine without an IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and I have just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely., i.e not sitting at the computer.
Does RemoteHD work on a machine without a built in IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

I can't vouch for this as I've never tried one, but I think this does what you're after.

Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow

I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.

If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Macbook pro retina trackpad won't click

Macbook Pro retina display 10.8.4 2.7 ghz i7:
Trackpad started to not respond to click by mechanicle nor touch inputs. Seems to happen after waking up from sleep and after a period of time reverts to normal function. Used the Pram reset and it does not make a difference. Observations I have noted:
1) Track pad does not respond in the user selection screen
2) Track pad does not respond while in different users accounts
3) Track pad always responds in the option startup
4) Track pad does not respond while in recovery mode
5) When selecting windows bootcamp trackpad always responds
It seems to me that the trackpad is having a software issue within Mac OSX and it is not an issue with the hardware. I tried to install the Trackpad update 1.0 but I get an error stating that it is not for this type of computer.

Try a Safe Mode startup and see if it works ok while in that mode. Hold down the Shift key before the startup chime. Will take awhile longer to finish startup. Will only load Apple system extensions while in this mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If it works ok in Safe, means you have installed some third-party software interfering with the trackpad. You'll have to do some sleuthing to determine which.

Macbook pro retina display won't wake on windows 8.1

Hi,
I have installed windows 8.1 on my new Macbook Pro with retina with using bootcamp no problem there only issue is after my laptop goes to sleep it won’t wake up. It seems that the issue is with the display driver or something related to it because even when only display is off I have the same problem.

I am aware there are symbols. My technical issue is the MagSafe2 adapter. What people typically do is connect their laptops to the wall when they're battery dies off. No biggie. I can attach it to the outlet. Well, when I connect the adapter to the outlet, nothing happens. Nothing happens at home, at Starbucks, at McDonalds, at other people's home.
When I brought this up with technical support in August when I bought it, technical support person said I might have issues with my electrical wiring at home. I've never had issues with electrical wiring at home because my other Apple products work fine when connected to the outlet. My July 2011 MacBook Pro charged without a hitch.
And I was able to charge my Retina MBP only at night or very early in the morning.
But this weekend, I couldn't charge it at all. I'm starting to think it might be the MagSafe2 adapter problem.
I feel rather ridiculous buying the highest-end of the 15 inch Retina MBP. It cost me over $3000. Right now I'm working with my 5 year old Hewlett Packard laptop. At least my HP works, which can't be said about this top-of-the line Apple product.
Probably explains why Apple stocks are falling. At $3000 I shouldn't be having these type of problems.
Sheeeesh!!!

Macbook PRO Retina 15" shutdown after sleep

Hi,
I have a new mackbook pro retina 15".
When I close the lid the macbook goes on sleep mode.
But, even when it is supplied by AC it shutdown after a couple of our and if I reopen the lid it restart.
For example Chrome restart saying that it has been closed not in correct way. How can I avoid the automatic shut down?

This has happened to me (system restarts when waking from sleep) and I have read about it happening to others. It is never quite clear if we are encountering the same problem. For me, the problem only occurs occasionally, and intermittently, and it only happens when the computer has slept long enough to enter its hibernation state, so it is hard to troubleshoot.
This behavior started with Mavericks. I am not sure if it is caused by some incompatible third party software or some weakness in Mavericks. Usually, it's the former. One thing I tried as a sort of general, blanket troubleshooting step is reset the NVRAM and Reset the System Management Controller. This problem has not re-occured since those steps. This proves nothing, of course. But it is harmless to try it.

MacBook Pro (A1260, 2008) won't sleep on charger since 10.9.2?

Hi,
Since upgrading to OS X 10.9.2 (possibly unrelated), my A1260 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Late-2008 non-unibody MacBook Pro (with SSD upgrade) doesn't seem to want to sleep when the charger is plugged in. Shut the lid, and it'll just stay on solid-white-light by the clasp button, but with display switched off, though the machine stays on, and it doesn't sleep.
If I shut the lid without the charger plugged in though, it'll sleep right away (I've disabled sleep image writing for the sake of my SSD). Also, if the lid's already shut, as soon as I disconnect the charger, it'll sleep right away too.
Any ideas?
Jon

Go to System Preferences / Energy Saver and check the sleep settings for the power adapter. If they look right, try an SMC reset. You'll want the process for "a machine with a battery you can remove yourself."

My new Macbook pro retina 2013 won't stay asleep

When I put it to sleep by closing the cover or by selecting sleep, it sometimes stays asleep, but mostly not. The worst thing is I sometimes find it with the fan running on high, very hot, and when I lift the lid and log in (it requires me to loging twice), I check the Activity Monitor and it shows at the top, using the CPU, 5 "ManagedClient" processes, each using 100% of the CPU. Something is very wrong. Several times after being asleep, it had obviously restarted and as message on a plain screen said "Your computer was restarted because of a problem" - still an issue but not as bad as the first one I described. I also find, after any and every problem - which threre have been many of, the computer will not restart or shut down. It goes as far as the spinning wheel and stays there and I have to Force power down.
Any expert help here would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

It seems Mavericks has quite a few bugs, including this one. This problem did not occur in previous versions of the OS, even with the same hardware.

Macbook Pro Retina: can anyone help me with running 2 extended desktop DVIs?

I know I need 2 thunderbolt to DVI adapters for this. In the UK these are £25 each, but the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapters which look the same are very much cheaper .....
http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Female-Adapter-Macbook-Laptop/dp/B003BHHIA4/re f=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359830910&sr=1-1&keywords=minidisplayport+to +DVI
They look the same as thunderbolt to DVIs but is there a difference? Anybody know if the thunderbolt to DVI is an ACTIVE adapter, which means the cheaper versions won't work?
Secondly, I've read scary stuff here from people who think their thunderbolt to DVI fried their monitors. Is there any evidence which supports this?
Does anyone out there use two extended desktop DVIs on a daily basis with a Pro Retina? Any tips or things I should know?

I suggest you buy the Apple TB/MDP to DVI adapters as I have tried another brand and it dod not work. That was on a late 15" 2011 model, YMMV.
Second I have never heard of a Apple TB/MDP to DVI adapter ever frying a monitor of any make or model.
Please post references to this claim.
May be possible with a poorly desinged adapter with some of the TB power output being cross linked to one of the DVI pins/connectors. But still doubtful.

Macbook pro retina is really hot and fans were very loud

I have a 15 inch retina display btw.
I was on safari reading an article and had itunes music playing in the background and my fans suddenly became increasingly loud (has never happened before).
Loud enough that I could hear it above the music. If it helps my Macbook is currently charging as well. The charger itself is pretty hot as well.
Here are my temperatures, I'm not sure whats normal and what is out of the ordinary.
Thanks

Are these ºF or ºC? If the former they would seem OK. If the latter shut down the computer ASAP.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
