My Macbook Pro Retina (2012) freezes at random times

Hi,
This usually happens when I have Google Chrome up, but it happens about a couple times every week. I would be on Google Chrome and click another tab only to find a blank page. Then the rest of my screen becomes unclickable, soon followed by an unresponsive cursor. At this point, I have to hard power-down by holding the power button. My computer seems perfectly fine afterward, but I'm concerned that I will lose my work if for example I'm working on an important paper or project.
Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? Thanks for your help!

I made a post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5481839?start=2715&tstart=0#24833543

Does any have their MacBook Pro retina 2012 freezes up then desktop blue screen for 15-20 seconds?

I have been having issues for months now. My MBP 15" is freezing up after I stop typing in any application. I cannot do anything. Then after 20-30 seconds my desktop goes to a blue screen then comes back after 20-30 seconds. Just did it now when I stopped typing. Went to the Genius Bar they reload the software but it's still happening. Currently on Mountain Lion.

If you like you can also restore, via Disk Utility, the DMG onto another disk, but you will be able to read the contents, simply mounting the volume inside any version of OS X.
^ What do you mean by this?
Also, It says on here:Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: How to back up and restore your files - Apple Support
When the imaging process is complete, select the newly created disk image in the device pane. Then, choose Images > Scan Image for Restore... from the menu bar, and let the scan complete.
Quit Disk Utility (press Command-Q). Then press Command-Q to quit the Mac OS X installer; you will be prompted to restart.
Restoring the backup disk image's contents to your internal Mac OS X disk
What does Images > Scan Image for Restore mean?
Also If I erase hard drive and then reinstall mavericks OS X from "command + r mode" and after that hopefully I can get back in would I hook my external hard drive and then open the copy of the "macintosh".dmg and drag everything back on? or...?

Connecting 4k monitor to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid

I tried to connect to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid 15 inch 2.7GHZ model. Initially I connected using HDMI to 3840x2160 at 30 hz. I casually changed the resolution to 1080 p from scaled option. Now I no more get the option of scaling to 4k. I am unsure what is the issue over it. When I log into my windows. I am able to log in with my original 4k resolution in 30 HZ. Any guidance would be really great.
2) I read a few forums regarding 4k with 60hz external monitor connection for macbook pro retina 2012 mid. But I couldn't get a clear solution whether it is possible or not. Would be great if someone can show lights on this too.

1- does Apple ever do exchanges for newly released products? I bought my MacBook in jan they came out with new in mar.
If you purchased the product from Apple, not a third party, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return it for a refund or exchange. You are well past that.
2- if and when Apple comes out with a 4k or 5k thunderbolt display, will it be backwards compatible with my MacBook sich that I can't get the resolutions and 60mhz?
I do not have an answer to that and the Terms of Use for these forums discourages from speculating what Apple may or may not do in the future. Having said that, from a practical business standpoint, backwards compatibility would be a sensible approach. It has been done so in many areas in the past.

Mountain Lion FREE update for MacBook Pro Retina 2012

Hello, looking for an honest support.. I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 2012 on this 15 July 2012 from Apple's authorised premium reseller of Bangladesh (Executive Machines Ltd.).. I just knew & saw yesterday that Mountain Lion was published & it is FREE for the buyers who bought the new qualifying machine (as my one is!).. so I just followed the apple.com eligible link and provided my details (address of my current residence which happens to be "Bangladesh", country, city & my valid macbook pro "serial number"..).. after that received a claim reference number mentioning that the FREE redeem code will be emailed to me after checking my claim has been validated.. but after carefully going through that eligibility link I noticed that claims are not eligible for outside US/ Canada.. and now I've provided my serial number & it has been used! and moreover, I did not recieve any email notification from Apple even after 24+ hours!.. what should I do now? .. do I need to buy this Mountain Lion once again even after I am eligible for the FREE update as Apple mentioned before or I just lost my free redeem opportunity as I bought it from outside US (event though from Apple's authorised reseller!!)?? please need honest suggestion..

can i make a dmg file right after download? its really really long when using recovery and my ml from the regular macbook pro is not compatible with the retina and im not sure why it works well with other macs except for this one. thanks so much. having a headache now on how to make it work.
As you can only get OS X from Internet Recovery, you can't get the OS X Mountain Lion stored on the HDD and make a bootable volume with it. Also, you can't install the OS X version you have on your other Mac because the hardware of this MacBook Pro with Retina display isn't compatible with that OS X version.
In your case, reinstall OS X and see what happens. If you can't reinstall OS X, take the computer to an Apple Store because you can't do anything with that MacBook Pro now

Macbook Pro Retina 2012 shuts down when selecting Recovery HD !!

Hello guys,
I tried to reboot my macbook pro retina 2012 and I held down "Option" key while my macbook was restarting but it won't be able to access into the Disc Utility Menu.
So I really need help to get my macbook format the hard drive, reinstall OS 10.x.x ( any suggestion?). Thank you for reading my post and I look forward a good answer.

Restart the computer and hold down the COMMAND and R keys to boot from the Recovery HD. If that does not work, then you either have a defective Recovery HD or a failing hard drive.
What you can do is this:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

I have recently noticed that my MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing. I first noticed that the track pad would not work for short periods of time. Is anyone else having a problem?

My MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing up. It seems that it is happening more often as time goes on.
I first noticed that the track pad would freeze then whole computer would completly freeze.
Most annoying.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?

Hey B-bram,
For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

Take care,

My Macbook Pro Retina keeps freezing on up...

My Macbook Pro Retina will freeze on start up just about 1 out of every 3 cold boots and it's been happening for a while now. It will start up to the log in screen and after I type in my pw and log in it will freeze with a black screen. I'll close the lid and the display stays on and I have to hard reset it for it to work again. Has this been happening to anyone else or do I maybe have a faulty macbook? Any ideas?

Hi,
I have exactly the same symptoms on my MacBook Pro Retina. It freezes with a black screen right after login, half the time. I have to hard reboot... sometimes the second boot gives the same result, and at the third boot it's ok.
I've installed gfxCardStatus to check if it's an issue related to the graphic card switch, but this hasn't given me any clues.
Sometimes my session opens normally (no freeze), but the system becomes really instable when I launch an app which makes use of the Nvidia graphic card. For example, Adobe Illustrator. In that case, Illustrator freezes and the system is slowly becoming unresponsive, even after a force kill af that application.
It's really annoying, I can't work on that machine... it's like the Nvidia graphic card is half dead.
I hope it's a software issue, not hardware.
If we could have an official answer from Apple, that would be great!
Thanks!

Macbook Pro retina (2012) randomly shuts down, won't wake

My Macbook Pro retina display mid 2012 with OS 10.9 has been acting more and more erratically.
When I close it to sleep, it often won't wake. Space bar does nothing. Sometimes after a minute the power button will wake it. Other times one has to push the power button for over thirty seconds and then it will restart. Also when leaving it to back up to a time capsule overnight it often will try to shut itself down. I checked the power saver and automatic shut down panels and those are not set to do that.
Any ideas or do I have to take it to the genius bar?

Yes, especially if you are still under warranty or have AC. Let Apple deal w/it.

My Macbook Pro Retina 2012 is running very slow and gives me frequent speed problems.

So, I've noticed it happen gradually for about a year now. It started with just minor but not significant delays in opening up programs, but I didn't mind it because the computer was still fast compared to a PC, which is what I used to use before this Macbook. I got this macbook in 2012, and luckily I still have a warranty, but it'll close soon.
Right now, some problems include:
1)
2) Shutting down and turning on the computer is slow (sorry no picture on this one). When I first bought this mac, and until about a year ago, whenever I turn it on/off it would do it instantly. But now, there is a bit of a delay when turning off. The screen seems to just freeze at a certain frame, stays that way for a few seconds (longer when turning it off right after playing a game or two-- don't worry they're compatible with Mac OS), and then shuts off. And when it's frozen at that frame time, you can still see the background materials because they're only faded away. You know what I'm talking about-- Macbook turns out when turning off and then shuts down. So, much of the screen is white, but you can still see the screen prior to the shut down faded.
3) Internet is running extremely slow. When I check my speed at speedtest.net, I get around 47 mbps on bad days and 53-ish on good days (download speed)

Resetting computer to factory conditions doesn't work, time-machine didn't work, and clearing more storage space didn't work either. I would like to get this problem fixed before my warranty runs out. Thanks for reading and any sort of help will be appreciated!

Do you know of any specific tasks or situations that cause it to perform poorly? If so, make a note of those and demonstrate them for Apple. Do NOT, under any circumstances, restart the machine. You want it at its worst when you take it in. If you try to do any of those magic resets, it may just reset things just long enough for Apple to proclaim it healthy. If Apple does that anyway, then there are plenty of opportunities to try those things later after your warranty has expired.
I wish I knew exactly when it does this, but it doesn't always happen. It sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't. I thought about this, too. But the problem is that it's really hard to catch a time or figure out what causes these symptoms to occur. I haven't taken it to Apple because I thought it'll just be a waste of time because they'll probably say that it's healthy so they don't have to put any money/effort to try and fix it...

My screen flickers in Safari MacBook Pro Retina 2012

My screen flickers in a totally random fashion and only in Safari when I am on the internet. It happens more or less on certain web pages and not very often, but it is very annoying when it does happen. My machine is a Macbook Pro Retina 15" late 2012 release. I have seen other posts on this issue dating back to 2012, however, there were not solutions submitted leaving me to believe that there is no solution or I may have missed it. People with the same problem say they have taken in their laptops to have them replaced by Apple only to find out their problem still exists, leading many to believe it's likely to be a software issue. Anyone have any ideas or answers to this issue?

Hey dhaynes3818,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Safari on your MacBook Pro. To troubleshoot these issues, lets follow the steps in this article:

MacBook Pro Retina 2012 sudden reboots

I have a little problem with my MacBook now (Retina Mid 2012 15"). It sometimes, completely randomly, reboots, that is it stops responding, while looping the audio of about last second and then reboots. It runs on the latest version of OS X Yosemite.
The weird thing is it does not display anything like "Your computer had to restart because of a problem" and the logs do not contain a single clue of what could have caused this problem. It also does not contain any panic logs or anything. Previously it would only happen once a week, now it happen two days in a row. I tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM, but it still continues crashing.

Hello....
a couple hours ago Ive read an article, which was written,that the Macbook Pro Retina from mid 2012 till end of 2014 have a hardware problem concerning ur behavior of ur macbook. Sudden reboots,stop to responding, unable to play videos correctly and symptoms of seeing of blurry pics. Resolution of these problems require to contact apple at the applestore and make an arrangement with them to repair that hardware problem. Of course as a gesture of good will from apple. Im using a macbook pro retina mid 2012 have not these symptoms but at my next stop near an applestore i gonna check the macbook just in case.
Think that is exactly what happened to u and apple gonna fix this.

13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) shuts down randomly

Mac book pro 13" retina shuts down randomly and without warning. The screen goes black and it takes several minutes before it will start back up.
I've taken my mac book pro 13" retina to the genius bar, twice. The first time I was told to remove some software, which I did and the computer continues to randomly shut down. The second time I was told to make sure that I have at least 12 GB of storage available, which I made happen and the computer continues to shut down.
What I can tell you, and what I've told genius bar, is:
The shut down happens when it is either plugged in or not. The shut downs happen toward the middle of the day when the computer gets warm. It is not hot, just warm. If I keep a external fan pointed at it all day I do not get any shut downs. I've spend almost a full day at genius bar and I am looking for some help/approach/information that would help us solve this problem.
Computer Info:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)
Yosemtie 10.10.1. Note I was running the latest Mavericks and had the problem too. The upgrade did not help.
Thank you.

Their tests are superior to the AHT and so I am surprised that they did not pick up on any hardware faults. The responses that you say they gave you are in my opinion, to be charitable, worthless. The fact is that the quality of the technicians at a genius bar are not consistent, some being better than others.
If I were in your position, I would firmly but politely demand the the MBP be serviced so that the AHT not produce that error any more. If need be, send the MBP to a repair facility where more experienced personnel can work on it. If you have Apple care, there should be no charge.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro Retina Display freezes

15" MacBook Pro Retina display has started to freeze, "flutter" and crash. After I power off, and try to power back on, there is a "beep" which sounds ominously similar to an "error" beep on a PC. Anyone else had this occur? MacBook is less than 9 months old.

I never had this issue until now. My laptop was working alright, but I noticed ghosting, then I realized that it was overheating and on rare occasions it would freeze. But I never got a white screen saying: Your computer restarted because of an error
neither did I before have this beeping and crashing. It all happened after they switched the motherboard..
I am in Israel, and when I took my laptop in to change the motherboard they said it would take them 10 working days. I can't go without a laptop for that long, I'm a student, and I use my laptop for work as well... Aren't they supposed to give me a replacement or something for that time? I don't understand how the think to take so much money for a computer then not even provide a replacement computer, especially for such a high-end, professional piece of equipment..

Fall 2013 Macbook Pro Retina screen freezing and crashing

Hello,
lately, I have been experiencing some screen freezes on my Macbook Pro Retina 15''... The screen just freezes, including the mouse pointer and then it doesn't respond to anything. I just have to restart the machine again. This happens sometimes and not every day, but still a few times a week. I just do normal things on my mac while I get this problem.
Also, just recently almost an hour ago, my screen just turned all white and it said "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press any key to continue or a wait a couple minutes for it to reboot." This time, I was watching a movie when it happened.
I have also verified the disk in disk utility, but no errors.
What may be causing this issue? Hardware? Software? I also have applecare, but I'm eager to find out what's the problem before I hand it to the apple store.
Thank you very much!

MacBook Pro Medio 2012 freezes literally once every two minutes?

Hello Apple Support Community,
I have a MacBook Pro Medio 2012 running the latest edition of OS X Mountain Lion which I have been enjoying for almost a year now. I must say that it's the best machine I've ever owned and I have never encountered any problems with it. Until last friday. I was using it at home before school, browsing internet, listening to music and chatting on IRC. I then closed it down and went to school. When I started it at the school it suddenly was really slow and literally froze every two minutes. I spent most of the day figuring how to solve this really annoying issue and I searched a lot on Google a lot. I gave up and decided to do a complete re-install of OS X through the menu you can open when booting (cmd + r).
I have this one time earlier and this time it took far more time than last time. It took me 12 hours this time.. Anyway, it finished the install of OS X and I configured my account and such. I now thought that everything should be well, but no. I have the exact same issues as before and I can't seem to figure out how to solve this annoying issue. Which is also the reason for me to come and ask you guys.
Things I already have tried:
- Re-installing OS X
- Clearing the SMC
I hope this problem can be solved without any costs. I'm a student which obviously means that I don't have a lot of money to spent on such things.
Regards
Daniel

Honesty you have already test it. When you have the original RAM installed the system did Not Freeze, Correct?
Then you installed this other RAM and Now the system Freezes. The RAM you installed is either Bad or not the correct type for your Model Mac.
Sure there could be some other reason, But I doubt it. Simple test. Reinstall the original RAM. If the system does not freeze then you have your Proof, the new RAM you bought is either Bad or the wrong type.

My Macbook Pro Retina (2012) freezes at random times
