Mid-2014 rMBP Display Issue

Last week, bought mid-2014 base model rMPB 13.3. Display was warm yellowish with greenish tint. Compared with store models, which all had cool blue. Replacement had same issue, so I asked for refund. Display looked worse than my late 2010 base model 13" MBA. Want to stay with Apple, but am concerned that all, if not most, of the mid-2014s have this defect. Can anyone corroborate?

Anybody???

Black boot screen and startup manager on mid 2014 rMBP after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite I'm experiencing black booting process. Moreover, I noticed that the startup manager, which we access by holding the option key, has the black background too. I didn't like the Yosemite, so I downgraded back to Mavericks, but I still have the startup manager with the black background and the initial screen during the startup sound is black too, and after that the grey screen with the Apple logo comes up, which is typical for Mavericks. I want my startup manager to have the grey background as before. And also, before there was the grey screen during the startup sound, not the black one. How to revert all this to the previous state? I'm experiencing all this on my rMBP, 13-inch, mid-2014.
I want to revert because after downgrading back to Mavericks my rMBP started freezing terribly, especially on youtube, ebay and app store. And it's not just the web browsing, it's freezing when navigating in finder too. I know there are many experienced users here, so I hope that somebody can help me with this. Before upgrading to Yosemite my machine was running flawlessly.

nobody?

Macbook pro retina 15" mid 2014 external display flicker randomly black

external display: Acer k272HUL 1440p display.
tested ports: Hdmi, Mini displayport, displayport, thunderbolt to HDMI,
situation: The monitor goes black randomly and recover after several flickers.
workaround: I have a external gpu connected by thunderbolt to pci-express. The monitor works normally with external graphic card.
This is internal graphic card problem, it's independent of which port I am using to connect the external monitor. The problem happens on 1440p monitor. 1080p works fine. The problem happens on maverick and Yosemite.

Only Quick Start Guide is available.
It will take a while to download.

Mid 2014 13" rMBP - Image Persistence

Good Morning,
Last night I came across an image persistence issue that seems to plague most rMBP users that have been supplied with an LG Panel.
I'd like to confirm that this issue is still present in Apple's most recent iteration of the Macbook Pro (Mid 2014). I purchased this 13" rMBP just under a month ago, I was hoping to improve my productivity with this purchase only to find it has hindered it further. I work with illustrator and photoshop, sometimes both at the same time. I've noticed switching between applications that there seems to be a faint silhouette of the illustrator window. When I first noticed this issue I told myself "There's no way that's burn-in, this is clearly not a plasma display and it's 2014" After a prompt restart, the faint silhouette was still there and all I could feel was frustration and complete regret after making such an expensive purchase. The feeling I had at the Apple store was similar to when I purchased my Canon 5D, you save up all this money and expect a premium product. Only this time around, I'm not quite as joyful about my purchase. The faint silhouette overlays my photos, and can be a problematic during post production. Although the silhouette may only be visible for minutes at a time before it completely disappears, this has caused me to walk away from my Mac. Which is something I have been trying to avoid, and it was working until last night.
My question is, has LG made any changes to their most recent production of Retina displays?
Do 13" rMBPs come with Samsung displays?
What are my options outside of the 14-day return window?
I'd like to avoid repair, one time I brought in my iPad and the genius was practically sliding and dropping my iPad on the genius bar. I know that Apple tries to set the bar when it comes to personal computing, and in some cases customer service. So, is it wrong of me to expect quality from a premium manufacturer?
Thank you.

No, I did not misread, it died in 4 hours and 20 mins.
That sounds better. You confused me with:
...only 4:49 minutes remaining.
My science-major mind saw that as 4 minutes 49 seconds.
Still, you should get more runtime. Here is another Apple article that helps with battery life and heating issues:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity - Apple Support
The article was written before OS 10.9 and 10.10, so you need to make a change in Step 3 for 10.10. To make the required change from "My Processes" to All Processes," you now need to use Activity Monitor's "View" menu:
Another thing that is not clear in the article is that you will not get good results if you run the test immediately after a restart. Use the computer normally for about a day so that any runaway processes are activated, quit any apps you launched, then run the test.

Bootcamp Installation rMBP Mid 2014 Chaos

I am trying to install Bootcamp on my friends mid-2014 13" rMBP without success.
So far we have spent 2 nights and 6 hours working on this. I am convinced there are problems with Apple's Bootcamp Utility and/or firmware.
After successfully creating the USB installer drive, and partitioning the mac, we cannot boot from the USB drive.
I am an advanced user and have tried everything, including different ISO's, PRAM resets, booting from the CD with Superdrive, the whole deal.
What's disappointing is that I'm helping my mate out who is new to the Mac, he still occasionally needs Windows and this was a major feature that led him to switch. It doesn't make Apple look good. Obviously, from reading the forums, this is a common and well known issue with the last two generations of rMBP.
We are currently deployed overseas and don't have access to an Apple Store or genius.
I know these are user-forums, but I assume Apple does monitor these from time to time, they would be stupid not to.
Any ideas?

Windows 8.1 on 13" rMBP Mid 2014 unusable. Slow, choppy audio/video

I've installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my new 13" rMBP Mid 2014 and it runs terribly slow. The mouse movement is choppy and I can't even listen to music, which is horrible. The computer often as if it's running at 100% capacity - even though it's almost idle. If I click a link or press a button the audio track skips and does so randomly, too. On OSX it runs at least 10 times as well/flawless. I saw that some people said Retina laptops are slower with Windows because of the screen, but I'm not even using the Retina screen. I am on a external monitor with a disabled screen.
Check out this DPC Latency Report:
Troubleshooting attempts:
- I've checked if there's an update for the audio drivers available and just reinstalled the current one.
- I've reinstalled the newest Boot Camp Support Software.
- My OSX version (the one before Yosemite) is fully updated.
- I've disabled many devices in the device manager (network, audio, sound, etc) to see if it's a faulty driver, but couldn't find it.
Do you also have similar problems with Windows 8.1 on the newest MBP? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks

New MBP 15 retina (mid 2014) freeze during initial setup - any issues?

Hi all - just picked up a new retina MBP 15 base model (integrated graphics / 256GB / 16 GB RAM). After turning it on for the first time and running the initial setup the computer froze on the diagnostics and usage page (after I clicked continue). I had also setup an account and named the computer. After about 25 minutes of seeing a spinning beach ball, I held down the power button for a hard shut down. I turned it back on and it went through the initial setup process without issue (although I had to create a different user account since the previous one was recognized). The computer was pre-loaded with Yosemite and I immediately updated the software with the latest patch. Also, I noticed both user accounts I had made were stored, so I deleted the first one that I created during the failed setup.
Should this be a cause for concern? Everything seems to be working properly outside of the initial setup freeze. Have any other users experienced this? Also, I had thought the macbook would have had Mavericks on it and that a manual upgrade to Yosemite would have been required. Is this an issue with Yosemite? Apologies for several questions in one post.

Hi there again.
I didn't had any of the problems you mentioned (45' minutes setup). We tried along with AppleCare to make a new partition to the hard disk in order to install OS in that one and boot the machine from it. It didn't help as the machine didn't let me to make a partition. Later on we swiped the hard disk and at the moment where you choose the hard disk to install OS, there wasn't any to choose. Returned the machine to the store I bought it and they sent it to the authorized service center where they told me that the machine just didn't have any OS installed.
I asked them why there isn't any hard disks available and they told that there was a problem to the file sector of the hard disk. They repaired it and they sent the machine back to me. Regarding why the machine came with Mavericks and not with Yosemite, I suppose that they had the machine in stock (knowing that Yosemite was released after the MBP mid-2014).
There are still some problems I don't like at all. Safari - opened pdf in browser - fully loaded, scrolling down...cracks.
I'm not happy at all. That was my first purchase on Apple's computers and I don't know if I will do it again.
By the way, I noticed the same performance in other computers as well. (click on "About this Mac", then click on "Overview, Displays, Storage" etc. There, I see cracks on graphics between the change to other tabs.)

Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

Hello EPWilson4984.
I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM, 1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

Is it applicable to run windows 8 on macbook pro, 13" retina display, mid 2014?

I wanna bootcamb windows 8 on a macbook pro 13" retina display mid 2014.
is it possible, specially that my drive is 128 GB only? does windows properly working?

Hi ..
It is, but be aware, Windows 8 requires approximately 16GB's of storage space and you would have to partitition the hard drive.
Strongly recommend reading the entire Boot Camp user guide before proceeding > Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp
You will need to purchase a Windows install disc.
Alternatively, check out VMware as well as Parallels

Macbook pro mid 2014 (Magnet issue)

Hi guys
I have a macbook pro retina mid 2014 15", I've had this macbook pro for about 2 months and just yesterday i noticed a vibration/buzzing sound whilst on my lap on top of my macbook sleeve case, i noticed it made this noise when it was near the magnets on the sleeve case folding part. I wanted to know weather anyone else has had this issue/problem occur and if so what is causing that noise, and also does it effect anything internally.
Thanks, hope to hear some responses/answers

Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!!

Graphics/artifacting issues with new mid-2014 15" MacBookPro Retina

I'm having graphics issues with my new 15" mid-2014 2.8 MacBookPro Retina. It came with Yosemite. I keep get glitchy
artifacting when using Premiere Pro and After Effects (CC 2014), obviously, but then even just while using Finder when AE and PP are closed.
I've read about it with earlier models, but nothing about the new ones.
I turned off the Automatic Graphics Switching in Energy Saver and just updated my CUDA NVIDIA driver. It's still a problem. Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks in advance.

Display issue on brand new 2014 X1 Carbon Touch

So I was about to start raving about my X1C that I just received. Loving the display, the keyboard, build quality, etc. I had no gripes and was just browsing away when suddenly the screen did the full glitch. I recognize this as what happens when something's messed with the motherboard/display adapter. So I gave it a reset. All was normal and then it happened again. I was able to replicate it 3-4 times and it keeps happening. I never dropped it or anything. It was always just stationary.
I can't believe this. I had problems with the first gen non-touch and touch. I was hoping by now they have improved.
