Macbook Pro (Retina) not recognizing USB devices?

I'm having some odd troubles with my Macbook Pro that I haven't had before.
I have an iLok that's not being recognized by the computer so I can't start up Pro Tools; however, when I tested the iLok on my sister's Macbook Air, it was recognized fine on iLok.com's tests (that also proved not to work with my Macbook).
I also have an Anker 4 port USB hub (not external-powered) that was running my Intellimouse by Microsoft perfectly fine until I shut down my computer last night and turned it on this morning to try it out.
Strangely, the mouse works directly on the USB port, but won't when attached to the hub anymore. The hub worked with another device but my ILok doesn't get recognized on my Macbook through it either (or any of the 2 ports directly either).
I tried an SMC reset (ctrl+shift+opn+power) and a PRAM reset (cmd+opn+P+R on power-on), but everything is still haywire.
I might have installed some updates last night, I can't exactly remember but vaguely can recollect a dialog box from the App Store.
What can I do to really resolve this issue? Is anybody else having something of this sort happening?

Just wondering if you ever found a solution. My mbp retina is not finding my iLok 1. No green light. Max 5 won't authorize.

Macbook Pro - Retina not recognizing HDMI

My third external monitor has a VGA and DVI port. I have a hdmi (computer) to dvi (monitor) cable that connects flawlessly on my old lenovo. Why might my new MBP - Retina not be registering or recognizing my third external via hdmi (it doesn't recognize alone either)?.
Thanks!

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive. The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data. Is there any way to resolve this?

WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

My macbook pro retina 2014 has crashed for the 2nd time in 2 mo

My macbook pro retina 2014 has crashed for the 2nd time in 2 months. Can't get past the gray/apple screen. The first time the genius bar tried all the different tricks to get it to boot all the way through, but in the end had to reinstall mavericks. They said there weren't any indications of it being a hardware issue after running diagnostics. The only possible reason is that it has something to do with some ProTools 10 plugins which I had downloaded in both occasions less than a week before. I don't believe that would be the issue and I'm guessing it's a hardware issue at this point. It's still under a factory warranty, so I'm not too concerned. Thoughts?

Try SMC and PRAM resets:

If no success, try booting into the recovery partition and select Disk Utility from the 4 option menu.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
Any Change?

Imessage on macbook pro retina not working

Hi, i just bought a macbook pro retina display OS X 10.9.4 and entered the data of my applestore account on the imessage app but each time I try to send a message gives me the following sign "+54 9 11 ....... is not registered with iMessage." although it is a registered number (my own iphone). I have no idea where to look. Thanks a lot for your help

Hey vero smith,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like iMessage does not recognize your phone number as being registered. To help troubleshoot this issue, see the following resource:

Macbook Pro Retina not working with HDMI

I have a Mac Book Pro Retina that will not work using the HDMI port. I have tried with two Monitors and difference cable and the issue happens on both. I connected one via a Display Port to VGA and it works fine.
I'd like to use the HDMI port. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (Latest Version).
I have tried deleting the pref panes as outlined in ofther links. Aslo reset pram without sucess.
Is anyone using a Macbook Pro Retina with builtin HDMI port sucessfully with 10.8.4?
If you are using HDMI with Display port let me know if I should get an adpater to test.

Hi walkerheather,
It sounds like you've already done most of the pertinent steps here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
I would recommend going through once and trying anything you may have missed in the section "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" and then follow these steps from the very bottom:
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
Take care,

Why won't my Macbook Pro Retina not hook up to Air Play Via Apple TV

So I want to hook up my laptop to the TV. Now Everything is up to date and my model is 2013 computer and the latest addition of the Apple TV Product. I have the top icon on my screen and click on my name, enter my password, but then it says it cannot connect. Now my internet is wireless at a campus, but other kids got it hooked up easy over wireless. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I went into settings trying to get rid of any blocks and home sharing is on, so I am stumped. Please Help!

Hello again,
I believe the update was: MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2
Thanks!

Bluetooth on Macbook Pro Retina not working

I am having trouble with the bluetooth on my MacBook Retina Display (software is up to date). My MacBook will not connect to my iPhone 5, nor will it connect to the bluetooth headphones I just purchased (Sony MDR-XB950BT). When I try to pair the devices to my MacBook, nothing comes up in the field of recognized devices, except for other laptops around me. Sometimes, my iPhone will show up quickly but then it will say the pair was unsuccessful. My headphones have never appeared on the devices list. However, I can connect my headphones to my iPhone perfectly fine.

I have a macbook Pro 2009. Have a bluetooth speaker device that will pair to my iphone and my husbands iphone but not the computers. He has an ibook which is I think 2006 or so. The instructions say to turn off any other bluetooths, so I did on my ipad and on my phone but on my computer it will NOT shut off. I am using Yosemite. I have no other devices paired to my computer.
The bluetooth may not have been able to be turned off in previous systems, I don't know I haven't looked in a long time. I'm not even sure it is working even though it says it is on. Someone on another post in mavericks said to archive and install system. I don't know what it meant by archive and I don't want to reinstall the system. Every thing works accept for this far as I know and I don't want to reinstall again. Leave well enough alone is what usually works.

MacBook Pro will not boot from Apple Logo Screen - No HD recognised

Hi all,
I encountered a problem booting my mid 2010 MacBook Pro yesterday. I currently run OSX Mavericks.
The computer has been great for the last 4 years and has never encountered any major issues. Yesterday I dropped it on carpet while sitting on the couch (it was a VERY small impact) and I continued to use it for a few hours. I did a safari update that night also. I then closed the lid which would have put it to sleep. My flatmate asked for a file later that night, I took his USB and stuck it in my computer, THEN opened the lid. The computer never booted up (It was stuck on the apple logo with the spinning thing underneath it). After doing this for a minute or so the computer would turn off. After multiple attempts the same thing happened.
I read many posts on this - I am assuming that the problem occured because I brought it out from sleep with a USB in the side. I have taken the following steps to attempt fixing the problem -
*safe boot - no luck
*reset PRAM - no luck
*recovery mode boot - getting disk errors.
In recovery mode boot I cannot reinstall a new OSX version because there is no internal HD disk mounted. It only gives me the option to install OSX to the Recovery HD, which is locked.
Using Time Machine backup wont work as there is also no Internal HD detected to load to.
In Disk Utility it no longer has 'Macintosh HD' - It is further labelled 'disk0s2'. I cannot verify, repair OR erase this disk.
Can someone PLEASE assist with what I might be able to do. I need to somehow mount/unmount/detect my internal HD. I am happy to detect it and format it as I have Time Machine backups on an external HD.
I am no mac genius although I do learn quickly. If I can get assistance It would be very appreciated. I have a feeling I can sort some issues out using Terminal although I need command assitance?!?
Apologies for the long post although I want to outline everything I have done to attempt to isolate the problem.
Thank you all in advance.

Does your flatmate have a Mac as well?
If so, you could always get a 8GB+ USB stick, download Mavericks using your Apple ID and use DiskMaker X to create a bootable installation disk on the USB stick. Then boot using the USB stick (hold down the option ey whilst booting to select it) and try to reformat your drive using Disk Utility and, if you're able, reinstall OS X on your machine and then restore from backup.
The only hitch may be that your hard drive is dead and that you need to install a new drive. You'll know once you boot from the USB stick, though, if you can format the drive or not.
Good luck,
Clinton

IPhone with new MacBook Pro - phone not recognized by iTunes

So, I got a new MacBook Pro and connected my iPhone to sync it with iTunes. But the iPhone isn't being recognized.
Anyone know what steps to take to get it to recognize the phone to sync? There are no error messages. Just a phone that doesn't seem to want to sync.
I checked the phone by plugging it into another lap top, and it gets recognized right away, so I'm thinking it's related to the latest iTunes or the MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

Went to the Genius Bar, The tech decised it was a bad logic board. I got a new computer to replace a week old one. After going through setting it up again, I have the same issue. System Profiler sees that an iPhone is connected, but not iTunes. I can not sync to the new MBP. At the moment, I am syncing to my old MBP, just so I have the iPhone set up as I had it.
BTW, if you go through the "iTunes does not see iPhone" suggestions and enter DFU (restore mode) your iPhone gets bricked. But it is recoverable by using a different computer. I am currently trying a NEW install of the OS on the i7, but I suspect a hardware/driver interaction problem. I have no hopes until 10.6.4 arrives in a month or so.

MacBook Pro does not boot past apple screen after replacing hard drive

After replacing hard drive on MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011 model, the screen only boots to the apple logo. Do I need to re-install the OS?

The problem is that the OS is not in any where else of the MacBook Pro than in the HD / SSD. If you replace the Hard Drive, then you will need to Re-install OSX into that hard drive, it's pretty easy.
1) Power up your Macbook Pro, as fast as you can press and hold the Option key (ALT). You'll see that it opens the bootable-devices you have, you'll see a Recovery partition, click it.
(If the Hard Drive contains data do the following)
2) In the menu select Disk Utility.
3) In Disk Utility go ahead and select the Hard Drive that is inside the MBP.
4) Erase the content.
(If the Hard Drive contains no data continue with the following jumping the last 3 steps).
5) Select Re-install OSX.
6) Select the Hard Drive in which you want to install it.
Follow the steps of everything else (it should take approximately 1 hour to do the whole thing).
Hope this helps!
Later.

MacBook Pro will not start up - apple logo and spinnining wheel

*The problem:*
I have a MacBook Pro bought in October 2009 and have had no problems with it up until now. When I went to turn my Macbook on the other day all I got was the initial grey screen with the apple logo and a spinning wheel. The wheel keeps spinning and never loads up my Mac. The battery is charged, I've not just downloaded/installed new soft/hardware, and I'm using the adaptor that came with the MacBook Pro when I purchased it.
*Stuff I've tried so far:*
I've read the forums/manual and have tried the following:
1. Reset the SMC - no effect
2. Reset the PRAM - no effect
3. Opened the MacBook Pro in safe mode - gets two thirds the way through the loading screen and then sops i.e. no effect
4. Done a hardware test - reported no problems
5. Started up my Mac with the original install DVD inserted into the CD drive, and performed a repair in disc utility - says there is a fault in the volume information and then repairs it at the end. Then I run it again and it says there's a fault in the volume information. It doesn't happen how many times I run the repair, it never fixes it.
6. Tried to reinstall the original disc but it cannot find the hard drive.
7. Tried to reboot but it cannot find the hard drive.
Next:
The only thing I have not yet tried is reformatting the drive. I have not tried this yet as I foolishly did not make a time machine (I didn't have an external hard drive) and I've not backed up my work for several months.
I have two questions:
1. Before I reformat, is there any way I can get documents off the system? I expect the answer is no but I wanted to check first.
2. Is the reformat fails for whatever reason, what is likely to happen next? I intend to book a genius appointment but wondered if people had had a similar experience in the past? How long did re-servicing take? The Mac is still under the three year warranty but I am likely to have to pay anything?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello!
Good news: Today I visited the next apple partner and took my macbook with me. He checked my mac with the software "DiskWarrior" which reported three problems which could be solved with this software. Afterwards we tried to restart the macbook - no effort.
He told me, that in a probability of 90% it would be a software problem and it could be solved with re-installing the mac os X software with inserting the original disc, pushing the button "C" shortly after pushing the power-button and simply reinstalling the OS X.
It worked and as it seems no data got lost.
The mac partner dude told me that this software problem can be caused by shutting down the mac one time too much with pushing down the powerbutton more than 5 seconds when everythings freezes...
As I write from my macbook again, I proudly announce that I'm back on mac.
I used windows while having these problems; it sucked
Sincerely, aftermathentertainment
PS: What have I learnt from this: Use TimeMachine!

MacBook Pro Will Not Boot Past Apple Loading Screen At All.

I am having a major problem with my MacBook Pro and it just wont boot past the apple loading screen at all

It was working perfectly last night and i just shut it down and it does not work know.
My friend was also trying to install Lion from his account but the .dmg for it did not open so we quit and that night i used it for my essay and finished and then i turned it off and next day in the morining it don't work
HELP ME PLEASE

You can take the drive out of the computer, use a $20 IDE/SATA to USB adpater to another Mac
You can see if you can read the drive directly to gain access grab files, run Disk Utility and perhaps it can repair it.
If you can't read the drive then there is DataRescue for a whopping $99 but it will read any deleted (but not scrubbed, encrypted or overwritten) data for recovery. Least that way you can get your files back.
Once your data is off, Zero Erase the whole thing, install 10.6 on it with the other Mac.
When installed in the sick mac, the hardware firmware will read the new EFI firmware, load it and you'll have the boot keys back again ON THE SECOND BOOT, it doesn't load on the first.
