MBP 13 Retina Late 2013 - Virtual Machine on 4 GB Ram Good enough?

Hello,
I'm new to Macs and Mac OS all together. I was wondering if having 4 GB ram is good enough to run VM? I simply wanted to play South Park: Stick of Truth. I might run other small games but nothing demanding.
Secondary question is how about running Windows simply for minor programming and other minimal tasks.
My Laptop is the base model.
Thank You

Yes, Vm lets you sett how much memory you would like to dedicate to the platform. So you should be running it with 2gb on Mac and 2gb on your Vm. If you ever run more games that would require more RAM space I would recomend upgrading to 8gb.

  • SSD in MBP 13" Retina Late 2013 doesn't work - Can't boot at all

    I have a new MacBook Pro 13" Retina which works flawlessly. It has a factory installed 512 GB SSD, which also works flawlessly. Then I bought basically the same type of 512 GB SSD, 2nd hand but new, which I intended to install in another MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013.
    The seller told me it is compatible with the MBP Retina Late 2013, but when installed, the known to be good MBPR doesn't boot. Not from that SSD, not from an attached USD HDD which has two perfectly bootable Mavericks partitions. When pressing the alt-Key on booting, I can however see two partitions on that SSD (Mac OS X 10.8.4 and a Recovery Partition), yet it is not booting at all, thus also doesn't allow me to inspect or treat this SSD with Disk Utility or other tools.
    All I get is the grey screen with the striked through circle sign (see attached image). I've tried both, PRAM reset and SMC reset, no change.
    Here comes the interesting part: Although both SSD look identical, they have slightly different model and part numbers (see attached image).
    Working, factory installed SSD: Model MZ-JPUS512T/0A6. Part No. 665-1805D
    Non-booting, 2nd hand SSD: Model MZ-JPUS512T/0A2. Part No. 665-1805A
    Any ideas what’s going on here and how to solve this?

    Excellent point! Mac OS X 10.9.1 doesn’t equal Mac OS X 10.9.1!
    Back in the bad old days of Mac OS X Install DVDs, I was aware of the fact that there were different versions of the OS X Installer testing against the Mac ID to make sure that bundled versions get only installed on those Macs which the DVD came with. And the DVD where clearly labeled in that sense.
    Now in the days of Internet download and installation from USB sticks, SSD and HDD, one completely forgets about this. On the other hand, with Mavericks being free, I don’t understand the need for such limitations, and not at least the recovery partition allows booting any Mac which supports Mavericks.
    When you boot with the alt-Key pressed and you see at least one partition with Mac OS X 10.9.1, one just doesn’t understand why the heck the Mac doesn’t boot. Now I do. Apple would be well advised to simply add a short info line, like „This version of Mac OS X is missing components to boot this Mac. Please re-install from the AppStore using this computer“. It would take out A LOT of guesswork.
    Anyhow… I booted the MBPR using the working SSD, installed Mavericks from the AppStore on the external USB HDD, switched the SSDs, booted from the external USD HDD’s now bootable 10.9.1 Recovery Partition, wiped the suspicious non-booting SSD and installed Mavericks. No further problems. (Completely forgot about the CMD-OPT-R Internet Recover Mode keg55 has mentioned…)
    Thanks for the hint!

  • Wifi drops connection sporadic (MBP 13" Retina late 2013)

    Hi,
    my problem:
    The Wifi connection drops every 10-20 minutes, sometimes even more often, and reconnects automatically after a few seconds. When the Wifi is connected it shows full connectivity. There are about 10 other devices in the network, none of them has the same problems - the connection is perfectly fine with every other device in the Network.
    my setup:
    The router is a Apple Time Capsule (newest generation) there are NO other wireless networks in my area - my wireless network is the only one i see in the list of available networks, so no interference with other networks possible.
    what i already tried:
    I completely wiped my hard drive and installed OSX Yosemite - the system is clean, no iCloud or Time Machine Backups!
    I'm quite sure it's a hardware problem. I hope for some infos whats the next step from here?
    Thanks.

    Hi Moriartie,
    I read your problem carefully. From the above stated problem I can assure you that your macs hardware is perfectly fine because even I
    have a 13’’ retina macbook pro late 2013 model running Mavericks and it absolutely works like a charm.
    The only mistake you did is by upgrading to Yosemite from Mavericks. Currently, I am running Mavericks version 10.9.5 and the machine is working flawlessly
    without any hardware or software issues.
    Just see in the comments section of Yosemite in the App Store of people complaining about their macs Wi-Fi issues after upgrading to Yosemite from Mavericks ( They had no Wi-Fi issues on Mavericks, late 2013 rMBP).
    The only way right now is to return back to Mavericks some how until the Wi-fi bug issues get sorted out on Yosemite. Hope this might help. Sorry for the late reply.
    Regards,
    Grane Duke.

  • Diagnostics MBP retina late 2013

    i want to diagnostics the hardware of my mbp retina late 2013 but while i pressing D during boot up it launch the internet recovery instead so why is it like that? and how to diagnostic for hardware problems?

    Hello, did you clean wipe the drive at all? This simply means that the diagnostic tool was not found locally and the machine is booting up internet diagnostics (equivalent to option + D ) at boot. Once the spinning globe finishes, you should be able to access the diagnostic test.
    You should have an Internet connection before starting Apple Diagnostics. This will enable Apple Diagnostics to recommend support resources. Additionally, if Apple Diagnostics is not found on the internal startup volume, an Internet-based version starts up instead. You can still run Apple Diagnostics without an Internet connection, but no results will be uploaded to Apple and no connection to Apple Support web pages will occur.

  • GPT partition inhibiting windows 8.1 install on MBP retina late 2013

    Hi there, looking for some help!
    Trying to install win 8.1 on my MPB retina late 2013 using bootcamp.
    Bootcamp makes the partition but then the windows installer does not automatically start (Bootcamp help says it should.. Original full windows disk is in superdrive).
    Restarting pressing "option/alt" gives me the choice to start "windows".
    This starts the windwows installer.
    Seems fine untill I need to select a disk to install windows onto.
    Choosing "Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP"  Does not work.
    it says "windows cannot be installed on drive 0 partition 4"
    Same after pressing "Format"
    Details show:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    I saw a solution to a problem like this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23545484#23545484
    But I expect that this would not be nessecary anaymore.
    Windows 8.1 is supposed te be supported by Bootcamp nowadays.
    My Bootcamp is:
    Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.1, Copyright © 2013 Apple Inc. All rights reserved
    Software update says no updates are available for my machine.
    Anyone?

    delete partition bootcamp created in windows installer
    and let windows installer create new one (it will create 4)
    after that, IF installer won't to able to write on partition created, reset pram http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 start installer again by booting with ALT + Option
    it will be able to write to the partition it created

  • MBP Retina Late 2013 backlight bleeding

    Hello,
    after two weeks i purchased brand new macbook pro 13 retina late 2013.
    Everything seems fine, but today I noticed a problem with the screen.
    When the brightness is at 100% and the screen is black in the lower left corner there is a greenish color.
    I guess this is the backlight bleeding.
    Attach a picture of problem.
    I guess this is a manufacturing defect and should consult with service?
    10x in advance!

    Hello everyone, I have been trying all solutions to this problem with no success. Finally I tried downloading the driver from NVIDIA, this required me to allow NVIDIA to scan my system to find my proper driver. After finding and installing the new driver I had full control over brightness. I've been using my MBP for about a day and a half with no problems for the brightness. I hope this helps everyone.

  • USB microphone not recognized by mbp, retina, late 2013, 10.10.1 Yosemite.

    I bought a Behringer Xenyx302 USB preamp to connect a microphone to my mbp.  The device is not recognized by MacOS.  Preferences / Sound / Input only lists the internal microphone.  Based on other posts and documentation, I should see and entry for "USB microphone" or something like that.
    The preamp has a headset jack.  I can hear the microphone working through that, so I know the mic works.

    etc.
    So I doubt it is a configuration problem on the WLAN. Moreover I cannot reproduce this in the same environments with other Apple products (Macbook Air, iPhone). It happens with 10.9 and 10.10. Is there any idea what might be causing this? I have no USB3 attached. Yes bluetooth is on and I still have to figure out if it only happens in the 2.4Ghz band. However even if it is 2.4Ghz related again: Other systems operating on 2.4Ghz nearby do not have these problems. Moreover 802.11ac is working however even sitting 3m away from a suitable AC access point with direct line of sight does not guarantee me to get a AC connection. Somehow I suspect this to be a driver or even hardware problem.
    Kind regards,

  • New MBP retina late 2013 initial 29GB already used

    Hello,
    I just got my MBP retina late 2013, my first try of Mac from using PC for years. Out of the box I just did an upgrade, then checked the disk usage and already has around 28-29GB filled?
    From the DiskUtility it is classified as "Others". I suspect this is the entire OSX Mavericks plus the standard apps? Is it normal? is it really this big?
    I got a 500GB SSD so should not be an issue, but I still cannot sleep over it without knowing for sure if the 29GB usage is normal for a newly bought MBP.
    Would appreciate your feedbacks.
    Thanks!

    Quite normal - everything in "Other" includes the OS, any user documents, etc. -> anything that doesn't neatly fit into the "Photos," Movies," etc. categories.
    For info on the Storage tab, see -> The Storage Display.
    Hope that you enjoy your new Mac!!

  • Fonts pixelated on 15" MBP Retina (late 2013 model)

    I recently purchases a 15" MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013 model).  I've notice that the font in some programs look pixelated.  Is this a known issue?  Under System Preferences, I've already attempted to change the resolution from "Best for display" to "Scaled."  Any suggestions to ensure that I see the best on screen (since I paid extra for the Retina feature!)
    Thanks!

    Howdy jimkol,
    The video resolutions supported by your MacBook Pro are described here -

  • 15" MacBook Pro (Retina, late-2013) and Microsoft Office 2011

    Is there a known issue with Microsoft Office 2011 and the 15" MacBook Pro (Retina, late-2013)?  Specifically, is there an issue with how MS Office (e.g., MS Word) displays one the Retina screen?
    Thank you.

    If you used VMware Fusion to install Windows, first make sure you have installed VMware Tools in Windows. Read > http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1003417
    Then, you will be able to change the Windows resolution as usual. In Windows, right-click in the desktop and select "Screen resolution". There are other ways to do this > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/get-best-display-monitor.
    There are not best recommended settings because it depends on the hardware of your computer: for example, if you have got 8 GB of RAM, you can assign 4 GB of RAM to the virtual machine (depending on the applications you use), or if you have got a Quad-Core processor with Hyper-Threading, you can assign more processor threads to the virtual machine so you can improve performance.

  • How to get new Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) to detect external monitor via HDMI?

    Hi everyone, this is my first Mac and for the most part it's been really, really wonderful.
    This is my first major glitch:  I cannot get it to detect my external display:  It is an ASUS PA248Q, manufactured Aug 2012.
    The HDMI cable according to my Amazon history is at least 1.3c from 2010,  "Fanatic Digital Imperial Series Gold-Plated HDMI Cable (6 feet)".
    It works with perfectly connecting an AmazonTV box to an old Samsung TV, with vivid clarity, unlike our cableTV signal.
    Just in case, I have a new HDMI cable on order, which claims to be of newest standards.
    The Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) has the standard Intel Iris from the Haswell chips, as well as Nvidia GT 750M, the latter which I don't think has been used yet.
    The ASUS display says:  HDMI NO SIGNAL.
    I have tried shutting them down and replugging the cable.  I don't know what the ideal order is.  The Macbook Pro is plugged into AC power, as suggested.
    In System Preferences>Display, I press the Option key to select "Detect Displays" option (seriously unintuitive).
    I have also tried resetting the NVRAM:
    I shut the machine down.  Pressed the power button, then quickly held the quadruplet:  Option-Command-P-R  (a double handful) and waited for the machine to chime a 2nd time.  Tried to detect external display no luck.
    Next, I reset the SMC:
    I shut the machine down.  Then I pressed Shift-Control-Option-Power   for about 5 to 10s.  Then I turned on the machine normally.
    NVRAM & SMC steps were from an old youtube video, as the instructions I had did not explain how to do so clearly.
    Please let me know if I"m doing something wrong.
    Seems so exorbitant to pay $350 for Apple Care;  that's a the cost for a whole new cheap laptop.
    I will search the forums again.  If anyone answers this,  thank so much!

    Hello there, willr314.
    It sounds like you've covered most of the practical steps found in this Knowledge Base article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573#1
    No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
    Check connections
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    The article does offer some additional links and recommendations as well:
    These articles may offer additional assistance and information about displays and video adapters:

    For assistance with Retina displays, please see Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display.
    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).

  • MST Support for MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - DisplayPort 1.2 - Will it ever happen? (with sources)

    So back in October, I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina (MBPr), fully loaded with top of the line specs.  I was soooo excited to have Thunderbolt 2 tech which Intel AND Apple describes as having DisplayPort 1.2a compatibility - which up to this point is unfortunately NOT the case.  The point of the information/questions and requests in this article is to engage a conversation about the issues of not having MST support after Apple falsely mislead their consumers to think otherwise - especially when it is clear the MBPr is capable.  Please read on...
    Apple advertises that the Thunderbolt 2 ports on BOTH the MBPr and the new Mac Pro (NMP) will have 4K Display support with the famed 20gb/sec Ports (DisplayPort 1.2 only requires a little above 17gb/sec).  Now that the 10.9.1 update has been released, we have failed to see MST or Multi-Stream Transport enabled on the MBPr Late 2013.  Now, as for the New Mac Pro- it DOES have MST enabled in 10.9.1 with the AMD GPUs.  For all of you out there that's questioning what this means, short answer is basically the Mac Pro will be able to power a 4K Monitor at 60Hz through the Thunderbolt 2 Port but the New MBPr is stuck with only HDMI 1.4 support which tops out at 4K 30Hz. 30Hz is unacceptable for anything but movies or a photo slideshow.  At 30Hz the cursor will jump across the screen, eliminating any of the benefits of 4K.
    BUT it gets worse...
    Apple can be seen advertising that the new MBPr 15" model can power a 4K monitor THROUGH the Thunderbolt 2 Port here: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt - This article quotes the following:
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Does this not let the consumer assume that the newest MBPr will be able to drive a 4K display through the Thunderbolt 2 Port?  I would say yes it does, but at the time I wrote this, the TB2 Ports can't power a 4K display because, as previously stated, MST is disabled in Mavericks for the 15" MBPr Late 2013.
    NOW, later on Apple posted the following article on 4K support here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    4K support on the MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013)
    MacBook Pro supports 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs at the following resolutions and refresh rates with the built-in HDMI port:
    3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
    4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
    In the article above the New Mac Pro is listed as having support for a 4K Display with the Thunderbolt 2 Port (or MST DisplayPort 1.2a Technology) at 60Hz with no problem.  This leads myself and many others to believe that MST will NEVER be enabled on the newest MacBook Pro Retina with Nvidia GPUs. Yes, 4K IS supported but ONLY through the HDMI 1.4 port, which has the limitation of only 30hz.  This two-faced advertising is extremely upsetting to a LOT of people, including myself.
    Interestingly enough, THIS IS NOT a hardware issue.  If one ventures into Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp and connects a 4K Display via the Thunderbolt 2 (or through DP1.2) Port, the Display registers at 60Hz, thus proving that the Thundberbolt 2 Hub Controller is completely capable of MST DisplayPort functionality.  Clearly this a driver issue with Apple, Nvidia or Intel or any combination.  What Apple has done here is forcing any professional that desires stable and clear 4K technology through their MacBook Pro Retina to do so only using Windows 8.1 on their own machines!  Definitely an oxymoron if you ask me...
    Later on when the Mac Pro was ready for ordering, Apple placed the Sharp PN-K321 as a compatible option for a 4K Display.  On the Store page featuring the (over three thousand dollar) Sharp 4K display, located here http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321-4k-ultra-hd-led-mon itor?fnode=53 Apple states the following:
    "Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013)."
    All of that being said, and I'm terribly sorry for my wordy ranting...
    This brings me to a final two requests to ANYONE reading this post:
    a) Has anyone working with the new 10.9.2 Beta Update seen evidence that DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities will be enabled for the new MacBook Pro Retina (Nvidia 750M) with the promised "Graphics Driver Updates" within the next Mavericks update?
    and
    b) To others that purchased or were/are thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro Retina with TB2 Ports: If you are just as upset as me about this crushing blow to consumers that just purchased a $3,000 laptop that were promised something that wasn't delivered - I urge you please, write to Apple and let them know they are making a mistake.  You can do this though the support page or through http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Thank you for your precious time, and if anyone has anything to contribute to this issue, please jump in....

    GOOD NEWS!
    The Mavericks 10.9.3 update adds official support for Thunderbolt 2, 4K!
    I'm not sure if you will be able to daisy chain anything to the 4K display.  I've read that the design of Thunderbolt 2 includes support for DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream (MST), which allows this type of daisy chaining with 4K, but we don't know if Apple has this supported on it's machines.  Apparently it's been buggy in development because the graphics driver needs to work correctly with the Thunderbolt 2 host controller.  I'm sure they will work it out if they haven't already.
    The above is all via found information on this topic, but you can follow some more discussion here:

    One more note on Thunderbolt worth sharing: always keep your fastest peripherals closer to the computer in the chain. If you have a TB1 device directly connected to the computer, anything further down the chain will be limited to TB1 speed/capability regardless of it's native speed.  Always connect TB2 devices first, and save anything TB1 for the end of the chain.
