MBP Retina locked up after 10.9.2 upgrade

It locked up 2 to 3 times a day when the computer is "awaken from sleep" with and without the lid closed. At the login prompt, the mouse would work but the keyboard would not effectively render the mac useless. The only thing to do at that point is to power cycle. I have waited (before powe cycle) a few times but makes no difference. Looks like 10.9.2 is very buggy based on some of posts.

HP Pavilion G7 notebook locks up after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Looking for some help & advice here.....
I upgraded my HP Pavilion G7 notebook from Windows to Windows 8.1......and now it appears to lock up after a while.
I have a Ralink RT3290 adapter and saw that may be a new driver will fix this problem but I'm not sure
Other system info:
Product # C2M35UAR#ABA
System Board 1845 56.32
System BIOS F.24
Any help appreciated here.....
Many Thanks!

@cpal
I did some searching for you looking for any updated drivers that might work. The problem is that Ralink was bought out a few years ago, and many of the Ralink devices do not have Windows 8.1 drivers, even from them. Given the choice it would be better to use the HP versions if windows 8 versions are the only option because at least the driver would have been somewhat customized to be compatible with the normal set of hardware in a HP notebook.
Here are a few you can try that may help:
MediaTek(Ralink)802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN (WLAN) Adapter
Ralink 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapter Driver
Hopefully one of those will work for you, otherwise we can only look for MediaTek to make an updated driver for windows 8.1 in the future.
And if you are interested here is a blurb on Ralink - wikipedia.org

Macbook retina locked up after sleep

For the forth time in a week, my new Macbook Retina does not respond after closing the clamshell. In every instance, I've had to force a restart. Is anyone else having this problem?

I had the same problem, sometimes three or four times a day. You may try "resetting your PMU" -- I did this on suggestion, but continued to have the problem.
I created a new user account and kept all of the default settings, and started using only that account for a while. The problem with coming out of sleep went away, and things were fine for a week so I assume it is something software-related. I switched back to my desired user login now, with still no idea what might be the cause of the problem. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a user-configurable OS setting, or application that cannot recover from sleep mode, that hangs the OS.
I saw on another thread that using "Secure Virtual Memory" is maybe the root cause of some graphics problems (video driver issue). If true, maybe it also causes the "failure to wakeup" issue. Some have also suggested the wake-up issue can be avoided by turning off "require password to come out of sleep mode." I have not tried this; I need security and the ability to lock my desktop.

MBP retina slow booting after repartitioning and cloning OS X

I bought a Macbook Pro retina 15" (512/16GB) few days back. OS : Mountain Lion 10.8.4
I wanted to partition the SSD to have Windows 7 in Boor Camp (120 GB), then a partition with ExFAT (260 GB) for shared data between Mac and Windows and lastly Mac HD (120 GB) with Mountain Lion OS X.
After searching in the net, I got this link :http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/139815-successful-setup-os-x-lion-bo otcamp-win7-data-partition/page__st__14 and followed the steps as described the steps in pane # 21.
So to state again what I did,
1. Used the disk utility to resize the Macintosh HD to 120 GB.
2. Make another partition of 260 GB in the remaining space. So I now have three partition, the first with Mountain Lion, the second (260 Gb) and the third (120 GB) free.
3. Booting with the recovery option, cloned the Mac HD from first partition to the last partition.
4. The system was booting fine with the newly cloned Mac HD (last partition).
5. Then again booting with the recovery option erased the first partition and formatted with ExFat to make it Bootcamp.
After these steps the system is booting fine with the cloned Mac HD bootable drive but booting is very slow. It takes a minute to show up the apple logo. How can I fix this ?
Should I do a fresh installation of OS X in partition 3 ? Please advise.
Thanks and best regards,

I solved the problem of slow booting.
Selecting the Mac HD from the start up disk option solved the problem. There was only one option : Mac HD , so I thought it is selected by default. But after selecting it manually and restarting, now boot takes only a few secs. Thanks.

I am having problems with my Mac Book Pro Retina locking up after updating from Lion to Maverick. I was having no trouble until I did the upgrade, and now it is locking up, freezing after about 5 minutes, and getting hot. Any suggestions?

A while back I had an upgrade available to me. I had Lion when I bought this Pro. The upgrade is Maverick. After downloading and installing the upgrade, my computer started freezing while doing anything. I might not get this completely written before it freezes. The keyboard is getting hot, and I have to use the power button to turn it off. After it has sat for at least 10 minutes, I can turn it back on. I might be able to do some work for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes before it freezes again. Some of my programs are not working, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, or even go back to Lion, if I can figure out how to.
Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Real world battery run time of new 15" mbp retina? (on-board graphics vs. video upgrade)

Considering a new Mac Book Pro 15" retina to use as a dedicated DAW in the studio. Primarily audio production work but would also do some video editing (Youtube videos, etc.) Will be primarily in studio but 10 - 15% in the field. (Hence the MBP rather than a desktop.) I'm looking at the top-end 15" retina maxed-out but not sure if I need or want the Nvidia GT750M graphics card.
My concern is battery run-time with the graphics card. I know Apple site claims 8 hours for the 15" retina. But their footnote states that's on a pre-production unit without the graphics upgrade. I've read multiple independent reviews of the version with graphics upgrade citing real world = 3 hour run times with "casual use". Yikes!
So I'm looking for real-world run time for the latest generation 15" retina with graphics upgrade vs. the Iris Pro option.   Anybody doing audio / video work with these two options care to share your experience? I don't think the DAW software (Logic Pro X) needs the graphics card and I'd be fine with the Iris Pro on-board graphics for audio work. Video editing would of course benefit from the card (2mg graphics memory.) It's only a $100 upgrade to add the card so it's not a financial question.   If real world is twice the run time without the graphics card I'll go for run time. But if it's, "4 hours Iris Pro and 3 hours Nvidia card" I'll probably go for the processing power and suffer.
Thanks!

Are there start up programs I can remove or something. I don't think its logic 9 I think its SL. No problems before this. No I didn't back up. External gear. motu 896, e-magic amt 8. mackie controller. again line 6. Need help. 3 hrs to move some midi info around. That *****!! Thanks Bill

OK Ive disabled front row. Unplugged line 6 pod XT pro and removed all drivers for it. Seems after recording midi tracks all within logic. My cursor sputters around them it just freezes 10 mins later its ok kinda. Ill click on a window and it will get dragged around without holding down right or left on the mouse. Any help.

Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

Flash Player won’t install after downloading
On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
Sincerely.

MBP w/Retina Display Problem After Sleep

I have bought a MBP Retina Display 15" in July 2012 and until recently I did not have any problems with my Mac. However, I am having the same problem as the one in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt0tS8KJKuQ
There seems to be no problem if I don't leave my mac on sleep for so long but what is the sleep function and power nap for in the first place. Is there any solution to this.
Thx

Hardware does fail occasionally, but part of why I would take mine to an Apple Store would be for an opinion on whether the problem was hareware or software. Since it has been less than a year since your bought your MBP-R, it is still under warranty, just not eligible for free phone assistance. If you have neither an Apple Store nor a trusted repair facility available to you, that will make it tougher.
Do I understand you to say this only happens after it has been asleep for a longish time? You can keep it from happening by waking it up sooner or by shutting down when you expect to be away for a longer time? I'm not sure what that tells us, but it in interesting.
Do you by any chance have a bootable copy of your system on an external disk? Preferrably one that was made before you started experiencing the symptoms. If so, does the MBP-R present the same symptoms when booted from that copy?

Freeze after waking from sleep mode on MBP retina

After waking from sleep mode my MBP retina freezes for 3-5 seconds. Mouse and touchpad don't work. I wonder if it's mountain lion problem or hardware problem. Anyone faced this?

Just got a brand new model and OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012) and face the same issue, almost everytime it sleeps for too long. This is not a 3rd type SDD, this is a standard Apple SSD. I turned off the BT, I removed the almost every option from the battery saver mode. The current test is to disable the power nap - I will let you all know the result in a few hours.

After installing Mountain Lion on my MBP Retina, WiFi connection drops frequently (not happening to other devices around); it also takes a lot to reconnect after wake up.

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

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:
