MacBook Pro with retina display freezes when streaming from Vudu
I don't know if anyone has experienced this before. I have been trying to watch Non-Stop on Vudu tonight with a lot of issues. After streaming for a while, perhaps some 15-20 minutes or so, the video starts buffering non-stop (ha!). The problem is that once that happens, I cannot click on anything. The buffering doesn't stop, but even if I try to quit Safari, the thing freezes Safari and freezes the entire computer. I have been working with Apple for the past 2 hours and nothing that has been done seems to fix the problem. I even ran a diagnostic and it said that I had no issues.
This is the first time I have streamed from Vudu. I never had issues streaming from anywhere else. I am running a Netflix video in the background to see if it will freeze. Since it's not a full screen, I don't know if it will do the same. Nothing else seems to cause a problem, but what is bizarre is that it freezes the entire computer. In the case that the website was messing everything up, I don't know why it has to freeze the entire computer.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so did you get to a solution and how?
Thanks!
I had this exact problem when watching streams on my Macbook pro retina 15". For the sake of testing, I tried opening the same stream i was testing in chrome, using 120 % of cpu, in safari, where it uses roughly 3-10 %. dont't know if this will solve your problem, but I advice trying it.

If I watch online steaming ( e.g youtube.,etc ) , my macbook pro's fan start noisy and increase body temperature because of load .
I checked in activity monitor, CPU usage increased. So How should I do now ?I had this exact problem when watching streams on my Macbook pro retina 15".

My 2014 MacBook Pro with retina displays crashes when I run Premiere Pro CS5

I just purchased a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following specs:
2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz

Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory

My Macbook Pro with Retina display stutters when scrolling
When I scroll my documents up-or-down with the trackpad or a connected trackball ... the screen visibly stutters (can't think of a better word). Doesn't matter what app or which User mode I use. Seems to be getting worse with each Mavericks update!

MacBook Pro with Retina display not transferring new songs.
I have the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display. When I plug my iPod classic (4th gen) into my MacBook, my iTunes does not display that it has been connected as it does with my iPhone. However, screen on my iPod shows that it is connected. Also, my newly purchased songs are not getting transferred from my iTunes to my iPod.
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried another USB cable just in case?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?

Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help
To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them -
When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.
There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available. -
My MacBook Pro with Retina display displays power point and not other windows when connected to a projector. Can anyone help out please?
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Why is the australian MacBook pro with retina display far more expensive then the American one when the Australian dollar is much stronger
this is a user response forum, i'm not sure what you think we will know. Apple doesn't reply here. you would probably have to contact the main Apple HQ in Australia to have a chance to get any kind of answer.

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up? It's brand new, so I don't understand why it would be doing this?

Key commands are not stored in a separate file
On page 44 in the Logic Reference it says that key commands are stored in a separate preference file. But that's not right is it? I believe the key commands are stored in the general preferences file for logic.
