My 15" Macbook Pro Retina is not recognizing my USB3.0 WD storage

I have read through almost all the discussions on here on how to "fix" this problem, to no avail! I would like someone with experience with the same issue to give me a surefire way to fix this! My USB3.0 WD 1TB SE drive isn't recognized by my rMBP but I can see it in disk utility. I've tried a 10 second power button hold down, and the SMC reset, and I've tried changing the cables, and updated everything that can be updated! Please someone help! Much appreciated in advance!

I figured out the issue! Since I used time machine to transfer all my previous setting from my 2010 MBP to the retina, all the previous programs that run NTFS moved too! Like Tuxera and Paragon etc... So I just removed all of them as a last hope, and it turns out they were the ones that interfered with the mounting of the HDD!
I feel so stupid

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • Macbook Pro retina will not turn on

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 13" off Craigslist today.  It will not turn on.  I tried resetting the SMC and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.  It will still not turn on, the battery has been charging for 2 hours already and it's still amber on the magsafe.  It still has warranty coverage until 2014 so my next stop is the apple store.  I thought I could fix it myself but it is pretty tough to narrow down the cause.

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • HT201364 just purchased new macbook pro retina and not able to download osx mavericks.is this problem common?

    I have just purchased a new macbook pro retina and I am unable to download OSX Mavericks.I would be grateful of any help with this.

    The available download is not able to boot your Mac because of the newer hardware in that Mac. When Apple releases an update that has the necessary drivers, you should be able to download it.
    The versions provided in Recovery will be able to boot your Mac if you need to reinstall.

    Tiki external microphone is plugged into USB port on Macbook Pro Retina, but does not show up on list of audio inputs in system preferences.  I have tried restarting but nothing changed.  Has anyone experienced this?  I am up to date on software updates and am using 10.8.2.

  • Macbook Pro Retina battery not charging

    Hello, when I loaded up my Macbook pro Retina today (4 months old) I noticed the battery wasn't charging and the power logo says power source: adaptor, I have tried SMC reset but that hasn't fixed the problem, need some advice as to what to do now?
    Thanks
    Ben

    What % is the battery at?  If it's at 95% and above, it won't charge.  It must get lower to charge.  If it was lower than that and it won't charge no matter what, you'll need to contact AppleCare because you can't service that laptop yourself for this issue if it is a bad battery.

  • MacBook Pro Retina, won't boot with USB3 attached.

    Hi!
    Enjoying my new computer(ofcourse), thought i ran into a troublesome problem:
    I plugged in Flashdrive 2, restarted and starting to hold alt to get into the boot menu.
    But it never showed up(tested for about 5min), the screen showed up in gray, but then no more action was seen.
    I pulled out Flashdrive 2 and had to hold the power key for a hard stop.
    Then started the computer as normal and the boot menu showed up just as normal!
    I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 1.
    And the very same course was repeated.
    Again I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 3 (with the very same ISO on it).
    The install of windows succeded without any problem at all!
    Note: When booted up in OSX i can read and format all the drives wiihout any type of error.
    Computer: MacBook Pro Retina; RAM: 8gb, SSD: 256gb. MacBook Pro and Air Update 1.0 Installed.
    Flashdrive 1a: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Ubuntu, bootable.
    Flashdrive 1b: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Empty
    Flashdrive 2: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Windows 8, bootable.
    Flashdrive 3: SanDisk 4GB USB2, Windows 8, bootable.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 2013 not waking from sleep

    Hi all,
    My brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) is not waking from sleep. It doesn't occur after a short sleep (as I can wake it as normal by moving my mouse), but if the sleep is for some extended duration (not exactly sure, but at least within a couple of hours) then the only way to wake it is to use the power button.
    I've tried an SMC reset to no avail -- the problem still occurs.
    It's plugged into a power adapter and this is a screenshot of the settings page.
    This is a very annoying issue. I'm hoping someone can help?
    Thanks!
    Adam

    I managed to narrow down and reproduce the issue:
    It occurs when the 'turn display off after' time lapses. Eg, if I change the setting to 1 minute and wait for the display to turn off, the computer will *not* wake up without pressing the power button.
    Very strange. Hoping someone can provide some insight!
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • MacBook Pro retina trackpad not working

    I purchased a MacBook pro with retina display two days ago and today the trackpad is not working. The mouse will not move or click. Everything else appears to be working correctly. I am using the 15" model if that makes any difference. Please let me know if there is something simple I am missing as I am a new Mac user and have minimal experience with these computers

  • MacBook Pro 2007 battery not recognized, not charging but working

    I recently bought a new battery for my MacBook Pro 2007. As said in the title, it seems to work alright, but it's not recognized by the computer (X in the battery icon), and I don't think it's charging.
    I tried to reset the SMC, no change. Unfortunately, I don't have any other computer to test my battery and my powercord on, to see if it's coming from either one of them. And I don't have an Apple Store around.
    Do you have any suggestions ?

  • Macbook Pro (Early 2011) not recognizing Apple Magic Mouse

    OK, so I recently bought a MacBook Pro (Early 2011 Model) and I cant get my Magic Mouse to connect to the Bluetooth. This laptop is used, but I bought it from a Apple reseller and they told me that it was refurbished and that there should not be anything that is not working. Anyways, when I turn on my Apple Magic Mouse and go to Bluetooth or Mouse in the System Preferences, I don't see anything at all just the loading circle. It will not appear. I have tried doing the trick of holding Command+Option+P+R on startup like some people have suggested but that doesn't seem to change anything. I also brought it to the Apple store and the associate connected the mouse to one of the computers there, so I know that my mouse is working. Is there a way to tell if the Bluetooth in my laptop needs to be replaced? if so, can it be replaced easily without a big cost?

    Hi kbridea1,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro isn’t recognizing your Magic Mouse but other devices are able to recognize it. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you’ve described.

  • Original Macbook Pro Retina 15 not connecting to wifi after sleep

    When Waking from sleep, it searches for wifi and finds it but doesn't connect most of the time. i click/select the network manually & sometimes it connects but iv ended up resorted to turning wifi off, then turn back on & it finds the network (it found earlier) AND connects to it automatically. this problem happens on other wifi's aswell, not just my home wifi.
    Wondering why it can find the network after sleep, but doesn't want to connect to it. All my ios devices, my sisters MBP retina 13 connects perfectly. I've come to conclusion it must be my computer....

    I to have this problem. I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13inch with Retina display. I soon discovered on my machine that if you disable Bluetooth then the macbook connects to the wi-fi as it should. I dont have a problem on my home network with any other apple devices and the connectivity issue is the same on what ever network I try. I soon realised that if I disabled Bluetooth the machine connects perfectly everytime. There is clearly a bug or some technical issue that occurs preventing wi-fi connection when you have Bluetooth enabled. Try it and see if it is teh same with yours?
    I was hopeing that the fault or issue would be fixed with the latest OX update but alas it is still an issue for me on my machine. I have just taken to switching Bluetooth to off until I am connected and then just turn Bluetooth on if I need it.
    Hopeing that some kind of fix will be issued soon.
    Let me know if this Bluetooth issue is the cause of the issue as I woudl be interested.
    Best wishes.

    i will say briefly how did the problem begin and what is the problem
    it stopped charging for some reason the magsafe light was (and still is) dim green and at the battery icon it said not charging but after a couple of hours that it was turned off and connected i found out it is charging really slowly
    later on that week
    i was using an app called DSLR remote connected to my camera i left my macbook on the table outside connected via usb to my camera waited on it and came back
    when i came back my mac was out of battery
    i took it in hook it up to the magsafe nada nothing not charging dim light
    so what i did i knew my magsafe charger is ready to be changed so i bought a new one
    tried it same problem
    later on did an smc reset
    it did turn on biw the fans are really loud the battery icon (x) and it said no batteries available
    so i tried my old fastly drained battery it used to hold up about 1-2 hours then i bought another battery but that was in the past
    so i tried both batteries smc reseting with both same result
    the smcfancontrol app says fan speed 000 rpm and temoerature 0 C
    and one more thing when the mac is off and not connected to the magsafe i click on the battery indicator light on the left side i get a flashing light (battery empty needs to be charged) when i connect the magsafe it stops working even when its off and while its just connected
    so it is and SMC problem

    i understand nobody wants to make any harm to my macbook
    thats reasonable
    anyway its a hardware faliure of some sort i'll need to check it my self but now im almost sure its not software because i've tried many things
    my other option is to run it off a battery
    the thing is my battery is out so when its attached the battey indicator lights do work (they are controled by the SMC) that might solve it too
    thanks for replying really
