MBP Retina and USB

Hi Everyone,
Managed to get my hands on a MBP-R 2.6/8/512, last weekend, and i must say it appears to be a great machine. However i do appear to have an issue with one of the USB ports and i wondered if anyone else had noticed anything similar, and/or has any advise??
The issue is,
The port on the left hand side, appears to mount my iphone ok, and randomly unmounts then remounts it. It also appears to do the same with some of my flash drives, but not all of them. This is annoying especially if my iphone is updating / restoring. My usb superdrive does not appear to be affected on this port, and as previously mentioned some of my flash drives are ok??!!
The port on the right hand side however appears to be fine, everything appears to work 100% with no issues, including my iphone??!!
MAC OSX 10.7.4 (This includes the current 2012 1.0 update which i re-applied last night just in case)
Any advise would be much appreciated,
Mark

I got say I have exactly the same issue! I have a $2199 Retina Macbook pro. I bought it on June 26th in a reseller. The left side USB doesn't work for my Samsung Galaxy S(Android phone). Everything is right on my cell phone but just nothing show in my MBP. The right side USB is perfect. Can you contact me let's discuss how to deal with this? I called tech support last night for over 1 hour. Tried different kinds of solution ( Reset PRAM and others) but they didn't work at all. The tech support suggest me to get my MBP replaced and he will give me an mail showing that apple decide to do this(Because I bought it in a reseller). Actually he didn't send me that email so I call tech support again. The manager told me they need talk to the engineers with this issue and will reply me in 4 days.
My Email is [email protected]
Feel free to contact me.

    I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

    I have a MBP Retina LCD (resolution 2880x1800) and in the office I use it with a Monitor Sony LMD-2450W connected by VGA. After installing 10.9.2 the resolution in the monitor has been downsized to 4:3 (and 1280x960) instead of its 16:9 display. Anyone know how can I change the resolution manually?
    Display shows only 3 different resolution if I choose "scaled" but none use the full area of the monitor.
    Thank you
    Marco

    This has been an ongoing problem with external monitors that predates 10.9.2. I wrote various tips on different methods here, though the best is probably the hot corner one:

  • Connect PS3 to MBP retina and then onto IMAC 21,5"??? POSSIBLE??

    greetings to all of you!
    i wold like to share with you guys ths doubt the i have, and i'm pretty sure i'm not the first one thinking about this... hopefuly somebody can help me..
    i know that it is possibe to connect the PS3 onto a macbook pro retina display with not that much of an issue. jut need to have the right cables and adapters, i'm cleared about that. AND i also know that with just a simple thunderbolt cabl you can use yor imac 21,5 (specificallly mid2011) as a monitor display for the mbp..
    THAT'S WHY i came out with the ide to get all these three things together and connected, in order to play PS3 and watch it in my 21,5 imac!
    I KNOW there are devices like eyetv HD, that allows you tu play ps3 on ypur imac 21,5 directly.. bt i'm currentlu living in croatia and buying something from amazon it's just way to slow to get it in here..
    PLEASE if anybody has ever try it..or knows about someone that did, and it actually worked, please please let me know.. i'm not an electronic gnius but when you think abot the idea it doesn't sound too crazy or stupid.. that's what i think.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH HOP YOU CAN HELP LET ME KNOW

    To answer the question, there is no built-in way to do what you are trying to do.
    "Target Display Mode allows you to use a supported iMac as an external display for another Mac computer using Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cables."

    For a PS3 you will need to use a third party device/software.

  • MBP Retina and playing FPS games

    Hi,
    I have always travelled and owned Mac, but have thought about buying a 14" Alienware or Razer blade to play fps on the down times I have while travelling. My question is, will a top spec MBP Retina15 with the 2 GB GT750M Nvidia card work to adequately play these (and similar) games? I don't know whether to use Parallels or Bootcamp; though Bootcamp worked well years ago when I  needed PC. I have read the graphics cards Apple uses aren't good for gaming anyway so information on that would be good.  My preference for mac is waning due to the constraints of gaming..but as I still have iPhone etc. it's a habit. The Alienware is good but heavy; the Razer good but ordinary screen.
    The guts of it is if I can still get away with apple then great, but if the games will be slow and frames per second below par, then back to PC it is. Any thoughts?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The dedicated GPU of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is good. However, there's a difference between an Alienware and a MacBook Pro: the Alienware laptop is designed for games, and the MacBook Pro is designed for work.
    It means that if the only purpose for getting a computer is to play games, I recommend you to go for the Alienware. However, if you like the Mac, you can go for the MacBook Pro, which is a really good computer looking at hardware, but you may need slightly lower settings and the MacBook Pro will overheat quickly, being dangerous for the Mac. Also, if you get the Mac, you need to install Windows with Boot Camp.

  • MBP Retina and Thunderbolt Display color correction

  • Installed Office 2013 on MBP Retina and Got BSOD.  Could it be MSFT Cacheing?

    I just installed Office 2013 Home Premium.  Running Win7 64 bit.  Have never had any issue and now getting Blue Screen in various Apps (IE, Visio, Word, etc.).  Blue Screen Says BAD_POOL_HEADER.  When I read it is mentions Cacheing.  I uninstalled Office 2013.
    Would Office Pro the standalone version have this same problem.
    It also looks like my Nivida Audio driver is new as of today 2/2.  I noticed when looking in Add/Remove programs.
    Does anyone have any answers?  Obviously, would like to use Office 2013, but cannot deal the the BSOD. 
    Ideas on how to fix?

    That log recorded about ten seconds of activity before the system shut down.
    Uninstall whatever McAfee product has been installed according to its instructions. There is insufficient reason to conclude it is causing any particular behavior but McAfee "anti-virus" products serve no beneficial purpose on a Mac and can only complicate troubleshooting.
    Seagate's disk utilities are also unnecessary and have the potential to contribute to problems.
    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • My Superdrive cannot be detected by both my Macbook Pro Retina and MacBook Air. It used to be working perfectly. On the same token My USB stick cant be detected by My MacBook Pro Retina. But It can be detected by my Macbook AIR

    My SuperDrive cannot be detected either by MY MBP Retina and my MBA. it was working perfectly till a month ago.
    To add to this issue my MBP Retina is not able to detect my USB stick either. Is there anything to do with the firmware?!!

    Is this the Apple USB 2.0 SuperDrive (I'm assuming that it has to be...). Likely a problem with the drive, if neither computer recognizes it. Take it to your local Apple Store and have them look it over and see if it will work with any of their display models. If you're still under warranty, they should replace it for nothing. If it's out of warranty, you may just have to buy a new one.
    I would also carry along your rMBP and the USB stick that's causing problems. Have you tried another USB device in the port? Another USB flash drive? Or is the problem with the one flash drive?
    I don't know of any firmware updates for the 2012 models that have come out specifically tied to USB problems. There were some earlier in the year... have you kept up with all of the updates via Software Update?
    Good luck - sounds as if you've a bad SuperDrive and (possibly) a problem with your USB ports (or maybe just this one USB flash drive).

  • MBP Retina Freeze after migration and no option for Reinstall

    Hello,
    just want to inform you, I have just maked the migration to my new MBP retina and have a problem that it will freeze only option is to boot in safe mode.
    Have deinstalled apps which could be the problem such as Paralles desktop, Symantec Endtime protection, SMC Fan... still have the problem with all users.
    Deleted the Startubitems, launchagents and deamons still the same problem.
    So I wanted to make a complete reinstalltion and here is the problem the apple server do not let me make the reinstallation.
    This version of Mac OS x 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer
    Answer for the support they have to get in contact with the Itunes department this can take 2 days. So I can only enjoy my mbp in safe mode.
    Kann someone help me to fix the freesing after the migration?

    I can try that but I am afraid that I do than not even have the safe mode any more. Will spend 1-2 more hours to fix the problem, because after the reinstallation I will do the same migration and may end at the same situation.
    So better try to fix it.
    Fix the spotlight index crash and know have a new one I386_pmGetDeadline: Null pointer.
    This have to do with the power management. Will try that and than let us see.

  • Formatted MBP retina (late 2013) HD

    I have mistakenly formatted my hard drive on my MBP retina and I am not sure what to do now. When I turn my laptop on I get a blinking questino mark, I can't use internet recovery because I live in Iraq and apparently I can not access that.
    Tried booting from a USB with Marvicks on it that I downloaded from the app store in my other laptop (MBP 2011) but it didn't work.
    Any thougts?

    The DiskMakerX way will not work either(I know, I have tried it ), because it is a special Mavericks build the late 2013 rMBP is using, this is because the new retinas were released after the release of Mavericks. Apple really should merge the different builds of Mavericks into one universal build in 10.9.2 to stop all the confusion.
    You have two options to Install 10.9. Unfortunately to my knowledge both methods need internet access, because you need to get the install file for late 2013 rMBP from Apple's server:
    Create bootable USB via recovery to get the right install file for late 2013 rMPB https://discussions.apple.com/message/24277314#24277314
    Boot into recovery mode with cmd+r and Install Mavericks http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14243
    Can I ask are Apple servers blocked in Iraq? What happens when when you try to hold cmd+r to get into recovery mode? I think this is why internet only recovery is flawed. There are many people living & working(temporarily)
    without internet connection, with slow connection or there maybe other reasons not to be able to use the internet recovery.

  • Major differences between MBP retina & MBP?

    I recently bought the MBP retina, and I'm sort of regretting buying it.. The only difference between a 15 inch MBP mid 2012 model and the MBP retina is the display, and I spent nearly 400-500 more dollars on it... .
    What are some differences between the regular MBP 2012 and the MBP retina? (both 15 inch)
    `

    There are major differences between the two that go beyond the screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP649 shows the specs for the non-Retina 2012 MBP models. Here - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP653 - are the tech specs for the Retina. The non-Retina have a Firewire 800 port, an Ethernet port, as well as a single Thunderbolt port and USB 3.0 ports. No HDMI on the non-Retina. The non-Retina have users replacable RAM and hard drives where with the Retina you have soldered RAM and flash storage.
    Why are you regretting your purchase of a Retina display model? In any case, if you're within 14 days of purchase, you can exchange you rMBP for another or get a full refund and purchase whatever you like.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
