Many Issues With MBP Retina Gaming

My MBP Retina 15"
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
OSX Version 10.8.2 , build 12C3006
Playing CS:GO is almost impossible .Diablo III same thing... Tried SMC reset , and it gets better but always reverts to crap (>10FPS)
Is there an update coming out to fix this.... This porblem has been going on for quite some time...
Apple you need to get this fixed....
ARGHHHHHHH..

Lol ... I posted here to see if anyone had an idea better then The temporary SMC reset .. Also if you think Apple does not review posts on here ... well... I got land in Florida I'd like to sell you ;)
I got this laptop because it should easily run my game .. With the CPU , memory , graphics card it has it should do so easily .. In fact prior to the 10.8.2 update it did .
I read the posts and nothing seems to work yet .. Anyone have and fresh ideas ?

Skype issues with new Retina MBP

Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
thanks.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Many issues with WRT160N v3 (Windows 7 related?)

Ok so here's the story.
Several months ago I purchased a WRT160N v2. I was connecting four devices. 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox 360.
The XP machine is using Wireless-N PCI Adapter model no. WMP300N. The Vista machine is using a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band, model no. WUSB600N
The process was fairly straight forward and I was successful in getting everything set up correctly. It worked great for the most part barring any unexpected wireless crashes.
A few weeks ago I accidentally bricked the router when trying to upgrade the firmware. It was my mistake and I should have been thinking but it happened. I was able to get a replacement from Linksys and I received the WRT160N v3
Sadly this router hasn't provided me with the same easy of installation.
Right now the situation is a little different than before. I am running a Windows 7 machine right now. It's up to date and working great. I haven't noticed any issues with the OS other than some random driver issues here and there.
I first attempted to just plug the router into my modem to see if my Windows 7 machine would automatically see it and connect. To my surprise it actually did. It connected and I was able to get online.
But here's the problem, my speed when connected was horrible. It would range anywhere from 75-1Mbps. For comparison, when on Windows XP I would get a locked 130Mbps. In addition to that, the LAN connection will not work. At all. It see's the connect, it shows it's connected and online. Then when I attempt to get online it fails and knocks me back to local access only.
I then attempted to set up the connection using the included disc for v3. This was problematic due to compatibility issues I assume. It didn't fair any better.
The final thing I did was plug my computer directly to the router without connection to the internet and disconnected from the Wireless and attempted to upgrade the firmware. THIS PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL. It did not fail and brick the router. I did it correctly this time. To repeat, this did not brick the router.
Ok, so I guessed it was due to Windows 7? I called Linksys up and they said they were unable to support the unreleased beta OS. I'm fine with that.
Next I decided to see if I could get my Vista machine online. With this I decided to run through the setup process that comes with router. I followed the steps to the T. Doing exactly what they told me to do. When it finished it showed it did have connection to the Internet. When the Linksys Easy Link Advisor started up and attempted to get me on wireless, it failed. It shows it lost connection and was unable to regain connection. Attempting to statically assign myself an IP address fails as well.
Using the LANA port with this router on the Vista machine works perfectly.
Right now I'm falling back to a very very old router. It's a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 wired router. This router works rock solid with my Vista, Windows 7, PS3, and 360 all plugged in and only has some minor overheating issues (common with this model).
My questions:
Does the WRT160N v3 have issues with Windows 7?
Why exactly am I have so many issues with it at all?
Are there issues with my wireless card and Windows 7?
Would the compatibility issues cause the LAN connections to fail between the router and my Windows 7 machine?
Is there a better router solution for me?
I would prefer to not have to revert back to Windows XP as I am enjoying Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help I can get as I'm fairly unhappy with these two products so far.
Thank you.

There is a compatibilty issue with the Wireless Adapter and Windows 7 as it seems there are no specific Windows 7 Drivers to install the adapter...So basically that could be the reason why Windows 7 keeps loosing the Wireless Connection...
Also remember to reset the router to factory defaults after any firmware upgrade, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Don't use the CD to re-configure the router, instead do a manual setup...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Some annoying issue with my Z97 Gaming 7

First issues.
-SSD is detected, but doesn't show folder even though it shows there is data on the drive. I have to reboot and then go into the bios. I don't do anything in my bios I just need to get there and save and close. Then it will work until my system goes into sleep mode. Sometimes after coming out of sleep mode folder are gone again and other times are just random. --- Tested drive on my other system works fine.
- My front USB stop working. The items I have plug into the front USB are not be detect at all. Test components on my other computer all is working well.
and now my SSD isn't be detected.
This is a fresh install of Windows.
This is my last MSI product that I will purchase. I haven't had so many issue from a Manufacture. I have to run my Graphics cards at full power so I don't get flickering or others issues. Now the issues with my motherboard.

Problem with MBP Retina Display battery

So, I'm on my second MBP Retina Display. The first one had a dead pixel. However, other than the dead pixel I was pleased with the laptops condition.
I got it replaced. The new model seems to be having issues with burned in windows on the display. Also, the battery life seems to go down much quicker than
the one I had originaly.
I took my laptop into the genius bar and was told the battery was completely fine but because I used migration assistant something was draining the battery life.
A month has gone by since I cleaned out my laptop and didn't use migration assistant. The battery had been lasting longer than before. But now it's draining rather rapidly again. I don't know why.
Also, I hadn't noticed the burn in's until now.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to fix these issues? Or if I should take my laptop in again?
Thanks for the help!

0. Forget coconutBattery.
1. Doesn't seem like a lot.
2. Recommended? No. Can it hurt? No, as long as you stick to 3.
3. It is better to discharge, at least a few times per month, to about 40%.

HP ENVY 6t has many issues with USB headphone, Bluetooth and more serious issue

HP ENVY 6t doesn't work with USB headphone, unfortunately. could u let me know how to fix it?
Bluetooth mouse has been working for a day, it suddenly stopped working. Having checked the PC bluetooth connection, which said "Working properly". Could you let me know how to re-connect, or re-work?
"Not complete shut-down" blue screen issue right after receiving the HP PC when I closed display to be in sleep mode.
I see the "Safe mode" "...." or "Normal mode" screen always.
The HP PC is not stable UNFORTUNATELY.
Even if just brand new HP PC, there seems to be many issues.

I would recommend using this document for your mouse: http://goo.gl/XDRRy
And using this document to troubleshoot your headphones issue: http://goo.gl/hV9fu
Most of the time with USB headphones, you have to download the driver from the manufacturer before they will work properly.

2 mouse-related issues on MBP Retina

Hello,
Recently got my hands on a MBP Retina, running 10.8.1. I'm having two problems related to my mouse. I'm using an old Kensington Optical Elite wired mouse. I know it's old and outdated, but I like it and believe that it should be working fine (as it did on my older laptop).
Two things I am having problems with:
-Tracking speed. Tracking speed is very slow, and doesn't seem to be effected at all by the tracking speed system setting.
-Button mapping. Can't find a way to custom configure the buttons, though some of them seem to be mapped already.
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this other than buying a new mouse?
Thank you.

tracking speed can be sped up using the mouse settings under system preferences.
if you want more than two buttons you need to get an app to deal with that... apple engineers are very single minded, so no out of the box support for more buttons.

Router issues with MBP C2D

I have a new C2D MBP, and my linksys WRT54G router will not work with it. When i plug the wall ethernet cable into my MBP, the ip address and all that info gets filled in and i can acces the internet. But when i try to connect to the router using wifi or ethernet cable, no ip address is assigned to the MBP, and i can't access the internet. This was not an issue with my old MBP where i just turned the wifi on and it connected.
What is causing this??
Thanks

I had similar problems with a WRT54G Linksys Router, and after a bunch of searching, I found that there is a problem with the latest firmware on the router. I downgraded the firmware as the post recommended (Linksys Forum) and now all my macs can connect.
Here's a link to the post I found on the Linksys site that solved my problems:

Grey screen every time with MBP Retina

Hi,
I got a strange behaviour of my MBP Retina. After upgrading to Mountain Lion it may not start. I have a grey screen, Safe Mode doesn't pass. Restore works, MBP boots OK then, can even restart and shutdown OK few times. But if the shut down period is long (more than 3-4h) I got a grey screen again.
I tried all the tricks with premissions restore, resetting PRAM, uninstalled Parallels and Little snitch, run Onyx for Mountai Lion and cleaned everything, everything from startup apps list. Nothing happens. I got a grey screen again, almost every day, then re-install the OS, and it works OK until next shutdown. SSD is OK, MBP has no hangs/freezes, works great after OSX reinstall, then again - grey screen. Verbose Mode hangs after a list of "FIPS USER Space Post" - all success, no mistakes. Before there is a message "Kernel is LP64", and the a string "/dev/rdisk0s2 (NO WRITE)"
Please, give some advise!

Sorry to bring this topic again, i have the same exact symptoms in here, and i suspect that its a third party aswell bugging me around doign this grey screens. ( had this for 3 days now after shutting down it gets back to grey screen but after i do a couple of stuff i can get it back to work. )
I already have the latest firmwares etc and updates i would say.
heres the etrecheck scan. ( ignore wow open )

So many issues with CS4 (bugs/rants)

I'm glad we can get trials. There are a few major issues I'm
having.
Viewing in Safari, when clicking back onto Dreamweaver, the
top bar will interact with Safari's tool bar. I have to click on
and off to get Dreamweaver to draw on top of Safari. When this
happens, there are also white flashes where windows are blank when
clicking once on a tab or design view, then on second click the
window draws. So anytime I click on the tool bars the page flashes
white (empty-void of my html) and reappears on next click. This
happens on first start, does not happen if I relaunch DW.
Table <td background> background input is gone from the
proprieties palette.
Table height does not display when selecting a table, only
width. So you have to go into the code and manually change or
delete the table height.
Some image/graphic outer edge colors do not match the defined
html color on the page in Dreamweaver but do in Live View and
Safari.
Selecting an image and linking it, automatically populates
without a border="0" resulting in an unwanted border color. It
should be "0" by default like version 8.
The color picker is not calibrated correctly. Using the
picker on a table cell with the bg color of #990000 gives me a
reading of #A31B12. And then getting a reading on the table cell
with #A31B12 the color picker reads #AC3022. So it progressively
gets lighter, while picking colors from the actual html, if doing
multiple cells. So not sure how the color pickers needs to be
calibrated to read the hex value because it's not currently doing
that.
I can't drag a file to the tab bar and be allowed to open it.
Not sure why that's not allowed?
Now some of these might be the new way DW codes, some might
be fixable with settings, but the color picker and random flashing
and viewing issues with Safari, linked images with no border seem
like actual bugs to me.

Yeah - it's there. But I was mistaken - it's in both the HTML
and the CSS
'tab' of the EXPANDED Property inspector - you have to click
on the little
almost invisible white triangle on the lower right-hand
corner of the
inspector to see the expanded section.

Nope. That would produce invalid HTML.
> I wanted to hand code everything, I wouldn't be using
dreamweaver.
If you are not willing to learn some HTML and CSS, as well as
best
practices, then you shouldn't be using DW.

Many Issues With my LG Revolution

I got this phone in October and it has been a pretty decent phone up until recently. Lately I've been having a multitude of issues with the phone.
Turns on and off by itself randomly throughout the day (killing the battery while doing so)
Screen indicates headphones are plugged into the jack even when they are not
Screen brightness changes slightly on its own
When talking to others, sometimes they sound robotic
The screen freezes sometimes when you want to unlock it and it has to be re booted
Often times it will not send pictures to people
I took the phone in to my local Verizon store. They "wiped" the phone clean and gave it back saying that would clear up the issues. The issues began again shortly after leaving the store. I got fed up and called customer service. They had another Revolution overnighted to me. This phone lasted about two days before doing some of the same crazy things. I went back in to my Verizon store today. They are now overnighting me a Droid Razr. Hopefully issues do not come up with this one as well. I enjoy my Verizon service, just not my Verizon phone.

Hey i just wanted to confirm this post for you. I too have an LG Revolution and i have had issues lately with the following
Sends and receives multiple text messages ( Mainly on the 4g Network and here and there on the 3g)
Doesn't receive messages from some contacts
Loses 4g and 3g network when i am at full service
Verizon was said to have fixed these issues as they were network related in my area but it is back again so i am less then pleased with them.
Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one

Why so many issues with apple products?

Since Apple makes their own hardware and software why are there so many issues? I recently bought a iMac and a iPhone 4 and have had lots of issues just like many of you on the forums. I understand why windows has comptability problems cause they have to make their operating system work for all different computer manufacturers and configurations. But apple does not so what's the deal?

You will probably find that 90% of errors/problems on Macs are caused by 'user error', like introducing incompatible hacks and add-ons.
Moreover, a forum like this is an 'emergency room'. The millions of users who do not have (or may not realise that they have!) problems don't post here.
If you have any problems we would all like to help you iron them out. Just post a question in the specific forum for your model of Mac or version of OS X.

SSL patch update has caused many issues with my iPhone 5c

Since the patch update completed, my iPhone is acting ridiculous. I cannot use safari. Every time I try to search something, it tells me it cannot connect to server. I also cannot delete voicemails. Once I delete, the phone freezes and the voicemail is not deleted. It comes back from deleted messages. When I hit the phone toggle button, it opens up my recent call list but it opens to the calls from Thursday, the day I did the update. It also deleted every text message that I had sent that day from my text history. I have shut the phone down, what other options do I have?

I have actually talked to a couple people that I know that have the 5c and it seems like it is a hit or miss. Some people have problems with the blue ones, im having issues with the white one, some people have no issues att all. COnsider your son luck that he has no problems. I have had problems with 3 different whote 5c over the coarse of 4 months now and contuining to have problems.

TS1559 Why are there so many issues with the iPhone 4S? The WiFi setting on the 4S becoming greyed out is certainly NOT a rare instance.

Why does the iPhone 4S keep losing the ability to connect to a WiFi server? This is a repeat issue with one of our phones!

I had the same problem with my iphone 4S, ios 7.1.2. The wifi button was grayed out for some time now. I tried several methods that I found in various forums, including the reset of network settings, airplane mode, fridge and more. NOTHING!
Then I finally did what I wanted to avoid - the heating method, and it worked as follows:
1. iPhone turned on, I held a hair dryer close to it while keeping the screen on and watching it while heating the iphone with the hair dryer.
2. When the temperature warning came up on the screen, I put the iphone aside to cool up in room temperature (shut off the display). I turned it on/off couple of times until I saw that the warning was gone and normal screen came back.
3. The wifi was still grayed out.
4. I then did the network settings reset,
iphone wifi was back to normal!!

So Many Issues With My iPhone5s...

Hey Apple Users,
So lately I have been experiencing a lot of issues with my iPhone 5s Space Gray 16GB. I noticed that my iPhone has watermarks under the screen. I don't understand why though i have never had it closer than 5ft near water. If you know why this might be happening please feel free to reply. Thanks. Ok so lately I also realized ever since i updated to iOS 7.1.1 my iPhone turns off & on numerous of times a day. Thats only one thing… Ok so i finished updating my iPhone to 7.1.1 & not even an hour later my iPhone completely died, i was like ok whatever so i go and charge for like 1 hour because thats as long as it takes on a daily bases so i disconnect it to find the apple logo bouncing up & down in what i would call a 3D effect. I was like oh my gosh so i called apple to see if there was something they can do and i just got an "I Don't Know Sorry About" I was mad at that point. The Screen Finally Turns On And My Lockscreen Clock was bouncing left and right then everything turned to like a 3d effect once again, i unlocked my iPhone using the fingerprint and i was able to go look at my App Store then it kicked me out and there was the 3d again… i tried rebooting it and it just kept freaking out. Finally i called apple and the girl said lets do a soft reset (just a quick reboot) i told her it still doing the same thing she said "lets do a Factory Reset" i wasn't thrilled with the idea but I'm like as long as it helps… We did the Factory Reset to find that it didn't work. I was furious! I let it go and then the next morning i find that its working but there was a big black dot on the top left corner and then thats when the watermarks came in to play. I honestly hope someone can help because if not then I'm leaving Apple and going back to Samsung. What a great way to present your products Apple.

Then call Apple Support and tell them you want it replaced. You have free service calls. Let them know that you cannot get to a store, and that the experience so far has been horrible. Ask to talk to a higher-level support person if you feel you are getting the runaround. You paid a lot of money for a device that should work the way you want it to. I can tell you that if I were in your situation, I would be on the phone with Apple until the issue was completely resolved, or until I got a new device.
When I got my very first Apple iPad, I had an issue with it not recognizing the charger all of the time. I took it into the store - an hour and a half away, and they thought they had fixed it. NOT. I called Apple Support and spoke to a very helpful person who had me check everything I had already checked several times, but I understood they needed to go through it with me. It seemed to be OK for awhile, but since the issue was intermittent, the tech called me back the next day to see if it had come back. It had.
So, I gave them my credit card number, they sent me a new iPad overnight with a box to send the defective one back in, and once they received it back, they released the security hold on the card.
It was worth the effort - I still have that iPad 1 and it still works perfectly to this day.
Best of luck,
GB
