Newly purchased Retina Macbook Pro 13" took 2 minutes to boot up

I have a brand new Retina Macbook Pro 13" which is now taking 2 minutes to boot up to login page.
This happened after i have migrated from my macbook air to this new macbook pro.
I am wondering what is causing this to happen...

The boot process has several stages. Please see this support article and determine at which stage the problem happens.

New Retina MacBook Pro does not find WiFi after booting

My Retina MacBook Pro keeps looking for WiFis after it has booted, but does not find any.
I have to explicitly turn WiFi off and on again after booting to get it working.
When I put the MacBook to sleep and wake it, the problem does not occur.
Any hints what could be the problem?

Not sure if this will help, but you can go into System Preferences > Network and, if you haven't already, create a new location (mine is called "home"), then from this location remove all connection methods from the left column except Wi-Fi. Also, click on "Advanced" and remove anything from the Preferred Networks list that you aren't using. Then click on "OK" and "Apply".

Retina MacBook Pro 15" OS X fails to boot.

Today I was playing a Game (The Settlers 2, 10th anniversary edition) when my MacBook ran out of Battery. I went to my desk and plugged it in, about 15 Minutes later i went to my desk and turned the MacBook on. I realized that when I logged in, the MacBook did the Login transition and showed me my wallpaper but the immediately rebooted. (It does that every time I try to boot from now) I can boot from the recovery partition and the Recovery USB just fine, Windows works too.
The Problem is that my MacBooks SSD is File Vault encrypted and I cannot save or backup any of my data before restoring it. I know both the File Vault Password and the Secret Key.
Any help on how to fix this issue/ how to copy my files to an external medium would be nice, thanks.

Fixed the Problem on my own. The solution was:
Mounting the MacintoshHD off an external volume, repairing permissioms etc.
Rebooting into a Kernel Panic
Rebooting again into a working OS.

SSD in Macbook Pro 2009 taked 15 minutes to boot.

Wanted to upgrade my HD, went with sandisk 480 extreme pro II ssd.
Facts:
Cloned with disk utility.
Booted externally, SSD is quick.
Booted internally, SSD takes 15 minutes.
Old HD still boots normally..
Tried to do firmware update, system says it is not necessary.
Tried to do trim enabler, still slow.
Frustration is high. Im just a college student trying to make things work.
Any recommendations appreciated.

The internal SATA cable may be faulty. Have the MBP examined at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

I have purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display, but it will not arrive within 30 days of my purchase. Does this mean I will not be able to update the software to Mountain Lion?

As already stated, I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display. It will arrive in 4-5 weeks so I don't assume it will arrive in less than 30 days. I would like to know wheather I will still be entitled to a free softwere update to the Mountain Lion. The laptop will ofcourse be completely new and recently purchased, so it would be very disappointing if I am not entitled to this update. Please let me know if you know anything about this or have any assuptions. Thank you

You can call apple if you need reassurance, but they will not turn you down on the free upgrade just because you have not received your computer by day 30.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina. Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality?

Doesn't matter. All HDMI cables should work, some are considered better than others, I had a $5 ebay cable work just as good as a $20 monster HDMI cable.

I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help

hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina Display. In addition, I picked up a USB Superdrive. It appears the Superdrive does not want to accept my discs and just ejects them. What am I doing wrong?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I just purchased a macbook pro retina and I'm having problems with flash

I just purchased a macbook pro retina, I have installed flash and tried everything recommended in previous threads, however, youtube is still requesting I install flash. Any suggestions?

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

In addition, to get you up to speed with FCP X, you can also watch 2 hours of free video tutorials here

Retina Macbook Pro: Constant Crashing, Kernel Panics, Etc

I've heard a lot of talk about how certain apps are crashing these new Macbook Pros. I'm here to tell you that it's not the apps: it's the hardware.
At least, that's what casual observation has taught me.
Here's my story:
Bought a new, fully-loaded Retina Macbook Pro. Immediately, apps start crashing left and right: Evernote, Reminders, Pages, etc.
Even worse, the computer had multiple kernel panics in the first week of purchase, none of which could be attributed to Chrome, Skype, or any of that nonsense. When I ran the Apple hardware test, everything came up fine, but I wasn't so sure, so I took the computer to the Genius Bar, who recommended that I erase and reinstall. I did that, and I just experienced another crash today. I was in Pages, and the entire computer froze, although I could move my cursor.
Put simply, I dropped almost four thosuand dollars on what should be the best computer on the planet, but is actually a piece of crap.
No matter what app I'm running, whether or not I reinstall, the machine continuously crashes.
Either that means that something is fundamentally broken about the OS, which doesn't seem to be the case given that it's working fine on other machines, or there is something wrong with these new Retina Macbook Pros.

Not really. If you read the terms of use for this forum it says something to the effect of Questions. No Ranting and or X Y or Z.
I feel for you and gave the only option you have, if you are within that 14 day period.
You could try calling Apple Customer Service and simply stated that you want a refund even though you are just outside that 14 day time period as you are very dissatisfied with the system. If that doesn't get you anywhere you could file a complaint with your CC company.
You are right, It Is a Piece of KWrap. These forums are littered with problem post of all kinds for the Retina MBPs.
Not only that but the Retina models are basically irreparable. They are Throw Away computers as most parts are either glued to the case parts or soldered to the main Logic/mother board
Personally I have bought my First and Last Mac and with that the last Apple product I will ever buy.
Good Luck.

Retina Macbook Pro PHY MODE not connecting to 801.11n... slow wi-fi!

I've had the Retina Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks and im really getting tired of the slow wi-fi connection this past week! I tried looking at the advanced wi-fi options (opt+click on the icon) and the PHY MODE always says 801.11g. Heres the catch: I did the same thing on my iMac and it says 802.11n!
I tested this in a few ways:
speedtest on the retina macbook: 2-4 mb/s
speedtest on iMac: 12-15 mb/s
speedtest on iPad: 12-15 mb/s
speedtest on friends PC laptop: 10-15 mb/s
Really crappy speeds on the retina macbook right? I'm about to throw this out the window! Also, I resetted my Netgear WNR2000 router to factory settings 2-3 times just to make sure I'm not overlooking anything on there.
Any way that I can change the PHY MODE to 802.11n on the macbook? or should I bring it into apple and have them check to see if the network adapter is faulty?

I have found a solution!
I took the laptop to apple 'genius' bar and they could not figure out the problem. They told me to download mountain lion to see if it would work. Didnt work! So there was one thing left for me to try: BUY A DUAL CHANNEL ROUTER.
After purchasing that and connecting to the 5ghz channel (make sure you're on WPA2 as well) my speeds are fast like my other devices. I'm assuming the laptop is sensitive to these things! Kinda stupid but oh well; makes sense as the channel is clear from other devices on my network.
So if you're still having these problems try buying a new dual channel router. If it still doesn't work, return the router and have apple repair your laptop (or take it back if you still can).

Issues with sleep/wake with 2014 retina Macbook pro

Hello everyone,
I have lately been noticing some issues with my 2014 13" retina macbook pro when sleeping and waking. As soon as my laptop goes into sleep while I am using I move the mouse around from the track pad to wake it back up. When i do that it takes the latop around 2 mins to get the login screen up where i put in my password to log on. The screen stays blank for 2 mins and I am just sitting around waiting to log back in. Is anyone else having this issue with there 2014 retina macbook pros? Anyone know of any fixes? I have just updated my laptop to Mavericks 10.9.3 and the issue are still there.

I upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 16 gigs with Crucial. My machine would not sleep properly, because when I tried to wake it, it would wake from its hibernate image file. This is the issue I've seen here in this list.
I tried all the suggestions I saw on these groups. Nothing helped. I contacted Crucial, who suggested that if their RAM was defective, they'd replace it per their warranty process. I needed some proof it was their RAM causing the problem.
I put the original 8 gigs RAM back in the machine (2 4 gig sticks), and it behaved normally. I then put one stick of Crucial RAM in, all by itself. The machine behaved normally. I put the other stick of Crucial RAM back in, and took the first one out. The machine would not properly sleep and wake from sleep. This proved that one stick was causing the problem, and the other was not.
Defective RAM!
I then requested and received an RMA from Crucial to send the defective RAM back. They paid shipping. I got new sticks of RAM about a week later. These new sticks of RAM work properly. No sleep issues.
I'm surprised and disappointed to say that this is not the first time I've received defective RAM from Crucial. I've purchased from them for years, and had GREAT service and received high quality products. The past couple years my experience has been different.
I'm still pretty steamed about this, as I spent a great deal of time trying to diagnose the problem and fix it. I don't really have that kind of time to waste. My expectation was that their RAM was high quality, and unlikely to be at fault.
Perhaps this is just a bad batch of RAM. I get that. I can forgive them once. But this has happened twice in the past three years. I'll look elsewhere for my next memory purchase.
Keep in mind that their customer ratings are generally very high. My experience is probably isolated.

EFI Update broke my Retina Macbook Pro performance

Ever since I applied the last EFI Update that was released with 10.8.2 my retina macbook pro has been working awfully.
To begin with xcode, I don't know if it's the version 4.5 or what but switching from one plain file to another takes up to 1 minute and if I switching to a Storyboard it takes way longer. Right now all processes are taking up to 130% on activity monitor and it's impossible to work on it.
After waking up from sleep it's taking years before I can start typing, it takes up to 20-25 seconds, on 10.8.1 it took around 10-15 seconds and on OS X Lion it was instantaneous, What happened?
This is really affecting me, how can I fix this or roll back this EFI update or 10.8.2 all along?

This didn't solved my issue, Apps are still using a lot of resources.
I'm attaching a screenshot of xcode using 114% of the processor, no compiling is being done, just editing.
The rMBP has 16GB of RAM, so it's not pagination

I am new to Apple (Retina MacBook Pro), how can I maximize my experience?

Hello, I recently joined the Apple world by purchasing a 13" Retina MacBook Pro. So far, I couldn't be happier. I changed platforms from Google because the devices I have don't allow for local content playback and apps are buggy and slow to respond. (I also hate Windows 8 with a passion). I want to get the most out of my Mac and the Apple ecosystem so I would like to get some feedback from other users about how best to accomplish the following:
Seamless media syncing and playback on TV, phone, and computer
Planning to get an iPhone 6 and upgrade to Yosemite so personal data, photos, music, and video is accounted for
I have used Google Chromecast and have Google Play's music client, but uploading content to that environment is another step
I already have a modem w/ wireless and router built in courtesy of my internet provider, what would be the benefit, if any, to getting an AirPort Express, Extreme, etc?Would like the ability to back up my data - external hard drive is adequate, but wireless backup is tempting
I do writing and programming and I am already getting familiar with iBooks, iUniversity, and XCode - any other suggestions?
I am happy to be a part of the Apple world! Now I want to see what it can do! The bottom line is I want seamless access to all of my content across the devices I have.

I have a MacBook. I purchased things apps like Pages, Numbers. etc in the App store. Im' just wondering how to put them on the new MacBook Pro without having to purchase them again. Will the Migration Assistant do this?
