Retina Macbook Pro thunderbolt ethernet adaptor issue

Hi there,
My retina macbook pro is recognising my thunderbolt to ethernet adapor in system profile but it wont connect to the internet.
I tried the same adaptor in my macbook air where it works.
has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
Many thanks
Ryan

Reset the SMC. If that doesn't fix it take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have them Fix It. That is why they are in business.

Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro - ODD SEVERE POWER ISSUE?

My late 2013 retina macbook pro 13" was on safari (on battery, not plugged in) and then the screen went black. The screen went back on, then back to black, then back on, then the Macbook shut off completely.
Then, it tried rebooting twice, both failing to get past a gray screen and startup tone / chime before turning off for good. Now it won't turn on besides you seeing a gray screen and barely hearing the chime before it turning straight off again.
Any suggestions would be great! I have important files that are for a deadline within a couple days!

Try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, take it to the Genius Bar. You're under warranty.
You want the section "for a battery you should not remove yourself".

Brand New MacBook Pro and Display Adaptor Issue

Hello fellow Mac users, I've been a long-time Mac user and owner.
I just got a new MacBook Pro after using a 2006 model for 2 years and am having a display adapter issue that I need help and advice with:
The new MacBook Pro has the mini DVI display connector, my non-Apple external display is does not support the mini DVI, no problem there, I bought the display adaptor...
Except that it doesn't fit the adaptor that fit the 2006 MacBook Pro.
Please See Image at Link:

File comment: This is the adaptor that connected my 2006 MacBook Pro to the the display. It changes the connection from the Mac's DVI to fit the VGA connection of my display. There are the four extra pins around the flat pin to the left of the connector.
Somehow the male end of the mini DVI to the full-size DVI adaptor doesn't fit the female end of the full-size DVI to VGA adaptor! Please see the images. It seems a few extra pins prevent the connection!
Please See Image at Link:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4bG788QVKGCOIJUkzHcjKg?feat=directlink
Comment: This is where the problems begin. The flat portion lacks the four holes needed for the DVI to VGA adaptor to connect.
Is it possible to just remove the four offending pins in the Full Size DVI to VGA Male End?
Any help or suggestions highly appreciated, because as of now, my brand new MacBook Pro is less useful than the 2006 model, which can connect to my external display.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Rob with a Mac and welcome to the boards.
My suggestion would be that you simply take the adaptor back and get a mini-display port to VGA adaptor instead.
I ran into a similar problem myself recently when I wanted to connect my own MBP13 to an overhead projector. I had assumed that I could use the mini display to DVI adaptor that I use for the DVI capable external monitor with my new MacBook, combined with a DVI to VGA adaptor that I had for my 2007 MBP, connected to a VGA cable to do the job, but this is not possible.
MiniDisplay to VGA adaptors for the newer MBPs are readily available at Apple dealers or through the online store and not too expensive.
Cheers

Retina MacBook Pro HDMI to HDTV issues

Hi folks, not sure if any of you facing the same problems. I plug my rMBP to my HDTV in the office and at home, and I need to underscan the output in order to see everything on the screen. If not, parts of the frame is total cut off (for instance, I can see a tiny bit of the buttons in YouTube when I full screen on the HDTV).
Anyone has a solution to this? Or should I just send this in to Apple service center? Thanks...

I am also experiencing this problem. Has anyone solved it yet?
Thanks!

Retina macbook pro thunderbolt display not discovered on wake 10.8.1

Okay, so I installed 10.8.1 yesterday,
Now, when my MBP Retina wakes from sleep, for a few seconds both displays work, but then either the TB display or the MBP display blacks out and doesn't light back up until I reset the MBP. I can still move the cursor onto that screen's "space" but I can't see it because the screen is blank/blacked out.
When I open prefereneces and try to "detect displays" the display doesn't show up/nothing changes.
I end up doing a Shift-Option-Control / Power SMC reset after shutdown to get both screens to work again.
I did not have this problem before 10.8.1.
Any ideas?

I have a similar problem. I updated to 10.8.2 and lost the functionality of the thunderbolt port closest to the rear of the laptop. Was using it daily for presentations, updated, and now can only use the port closer to the front of the machine.

External Hard Drives for retina Macbook Pro - Thunderbolt vs. USB 3.0

I already bought a G-Tech FireWire800/USB 3.0 external hard drive and just bought a second one.
And I just found out that USB 3.0 does not daisy chain (and the G-Tech drives only have one port each), and I also read that USB 3.0 hubs are not working well on the Mac.
I think of selling the drives again (at a loss, of course) and buying a Thunderbolt drive:
Here are the two options:
1. Western Digital:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/890519-REG/Western_Digital_wdbusk0080jsl_n esn_8TB_My_Book_Thunderbolt.html
This drive seems to have two external hard drives. Would it be possible to use one of them as the main external hard drive, and the second one as the back-up hard drive?
2. G-Tech
G-Tech also sells Thunderbolt hard drives like this one here - but it's a RAID 0 drive - can I also use both discs separately as main drive and backup drive without using RAID 0? I just trust G-Tech more than Western Digital:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/858463-REG/G_Technology_0G02272_8TB_G_RAID _External_Hard.html
What's your take on it?
Thanks!

The NEXT THING which is upcoming now that SSD prices are dropping is Firewire to SSD, or Thunderbolt to SSD.
Now THAT will be a "did you see that?" improvement. A few home brew folks are already making their own.
run the two discs separately as one disc for storage? Yes, I however I have never had the desire or need to setup such a daisy chain. Autonomous data storage for safety is a rule I live by.
Backup VS. storage, is really a distinction without a difference.
My main PDF collection is 14 Terabytes, so............... Yes, it depends on what you need, just remember the religion of storage, 2 copies is 1, and one is NONE.
Never consider any computer a data storage device, rather a data creation ,sending, and manipulation device. Any who thinks any data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake
Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time even under ideal conditions
burn important data onto multiple copies of archival DVDs and store same in cool dark fireproof safes, hidden places, secret places, multiple places
always consider and expect thy computer’s hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and keep a cloned and updated hard drive handy at all times to return to immediate productivity and avoid program and parameter reinstallation and tweaking

Retina Macbook Pro with Safari display issues

Is anyone having crazy display issues with Safari on their rMBP? I'm noticing some wierd glitching going on. For instance, as I type this, it doesn't show the correct characters consistently. Sometimes when I'm in Gmail, entire portions of the interface are missing unless I move the cursor over them. Some pages don't load at all and I have to refresh. Other times I'll load a page, click a link, and then hit back to go to the previous page and it's empty.
I'm not experiencing this in third party applications like MS Office, or Chrome, or other parts of Mountain Lion (though I do suffer from the same jerky UI transitions that everyone else has, but that's a different story). Anyone else in my boat? Suggestions?

Nevermind, looks like other people have the same issues: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145775?start=0&tstart=0
Looks like the "geniuses" have been sleeping on the job. Step up your game, Apple.

Retina macbook pro with thunderbolt ethernet adaptor drops internet connection on open apps after waking

I recently started using a thunderbolt ethernet adaptor and every time my comuter wakes from sleep, all the apps that were open no longer use the internet connection. I have to restart each one of them for them to be able to use the present internet connection. any ideas?

So I've noticed similar behaviour on my Macbook Air. It's a slightly different set of kit, since it's connected to a Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock (http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F4U055/). I'm on my second one of these because first one went back because it kept on dropping the internet connection (sounds familiar?) - and it *might* have been occurring when waking the system from sleep (I didn't make a mental note).
Anyway the replacement was working perfectly, until today - when it's started to drop it's internet connection again, and this time I'm pretty certain that it's related to waking from sleep. The main difference now is that I *just* upgraded to Mavericks, and I wonder if the sleep problem has reared its ugly head again in the latest version of MacOS?
All in all I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the reliability of thunderbolt & the Belkin Dock thingie. Although it should be said that a single lead from my Macbook Air to the Express Dock is simultaneously carrying: video (1920x1200), Firewire800, 3xUSB3, gigabit ethernet and sound, so I'm not that surprised this technology is prone to the odd glitch, and the cables get really warm too!
It would be great to have some solid information from Apple/Belkin about this.
Cheers, Jon

Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter doesn't work with Retina MacBook Pro

I can't seem to connect to Ethernet with my Retina MacBook Pro. I bought an adapter and when I plugged it in, the network setup assistant showed that I was connected to the internet but my web browsers (Safari, Firefox and Chrome) couldn't connect, nor could any other programs (like Mail). The error message said that my computer was not connected to the internet, which did not match what Network Diagnositcs said. After a phone call with Apple Support, I had a replacement adapter mailed to me. With the new adapter, my computer now says that it is connected to the internet and I even have an IP address, but programs still can't connect and I get an error message saying the DNS lookup failed. This happens even when I manually enter the DNS server. I have already tried running the Thunderbolt software update 1.2.1 as well as the recent Thunderbolt firmware update, but the installer says they are not compatible with my computer. The problem occurs for both Thunderbolt ports. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no problem connecting to WiFi, so my temporary work around is using internet sharing on my old MacBook, which can connect to the ethernet connection in my apartment with no problems.

Hmm. Well I tried rebooting with wifi off but that didn't fix things for me. Would you mind sharing what your System Information says under Thunderbolt? This is what mine looks like:

Late 2013 retina macbook pro drops thunderbolt ethernet cyclically

My new (late 2013) retina macbook pro drops the wired ethernet connection many times a day. Each time killing off all VPN and ssh sessions. This is using the apple thunderbolt to gigE adapter.
This is the second thunderbolt adapter I've received from Apple. Both do the same thing.
Here's my console log filtered on "Link". It's a continuous series of link up/link down messages.
Same problem on both thunderbolt ports too.

Oops, no idea where the mountainlion thing came from. cut&paste error I expect, but , yes, you are correct, mavericks 10.9.2
I'm about to that point, but it's going to be hard for them to diagnose because it's so random. I'll go in there, it'll work, then we'll stand around staring at eachother for a bit.
Then they'll say, you have to reload your OS from scratch and I'll say "but I just did that" and that will be it.
Maybe that's a bit overly cynical, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope for the 3 hours time suck that a trip to the mother ship.

Retina macbook pro with thunderbolt display causes speaker issues

I have a thunderbolt display and used the speakers fine on old macbook pro. I now plug in my new retina macbook pro 15" with mountain lion and the sound plays fine for a while then starts to crackle real bad and then stops all together. If I switch the the laptop speakers then switch back after 30 or so minutes the thunderbolt speakers will work again for a short amount of time then again crackle and stop.
This may be mountain lion related but I have tried another non-retina version macbook pro with mountain lion and did not notice the issue but it was only for an hour or so. So this leads me to belive its the computer.
Any suggestions? its really really anoying and wasting my time trying to fix it.

I have the exact same issue. I hauled the TB Display into the Apple Store 3 times and finally they replaced it. Come to find out this new one has the same issue still. So It has to be rMBP related at this point. Unfortunately I don't think I have it under warranty still and the issue is hard to demonstrate. I recorded videos of it but every time I go into the store and plug it is the same as switching the speakers from internal to external and it takes 30-60 mins before it degrates to scratching sounds.
Please let me know if you ever foudn a solution. Im going to try to keep taking it in until I can get this resolved.

When I close the lid on my retina MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt and it goes to sleep, I cannot wake it without shutting it down and restarting it. Called Apple tech and they did not have a solution. Any ideas?

Using third party headset with Retina Macbook Pro (microphone issue)

Good day, everyone!
I have very strange issue with my Retina Macbook Pro (Late 2013) OS X 10.9.3
When I plug in my Steel Series Headset, its microphone not recognised by system and only "Internal microphone" available in Settings - Sound - Input.
Headset itself works perfectly fine, because when I plug it to my iPhone, its microphone works without any problems.
Macbook's headphone port also works fine — when I plug in my iPhone original headset to Macbook, its mic works good and I can see "External microphone" in Settings - Sound - Input.
So headset is ok and headphone port is ok. What is the problem?
How to force macbook to use headset microphone instead of built-in one?
Thanks in advance

Either contact the sales staff at the store where you ordered your Mac from or contact the speaker manufacturer & ask them.

Retina MacBook Pro Issues Since Updating To Yosemite

Hey everyone,
I have the early 2013 15 Inch Retina MacBook Pro (2.4Ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and ever since I updated to Yosemite I have had many issues which are becoming serious problems.
Problem 1) 9/10 times the laptop will not turn off when shut down is pressed. The Finder disappears, the dock stays put and then does nothing. I have to manually hold the power button to get the laptop to turn off.
Problem 2) Audio issues. I have an external Audio Interface that I use for recording and playback through my studio monitors. Randomly when I'm watching videos the audio of the video will slow down so the audio sounds lowered in pitch while the video stays the same speed. While I'm listening to music through iTunes there have been occasions where the music has actually sped up at least 10x of it's original speed.
Problem 3) Connecting to Apple TV's crashes my computer. At college we have Apple TV's that we can connect Macs and iPads to to showcase work and when I connect my MacBook to it, the Macbook crashes and has to be forced rebooted.
Problem 4) The computer is just generally slower. When browsing files in the finder and using applications such as iMovie the computer is noticeably slower than when before upgraded.
I have tried contacting Apple support but was told that I had to purchase an incident report for £25. After spending £1800 on a Laptop I'm not paying £25 just to talk to someone. Has anyone had these issues? Any fixes?
Thanks!

Well, if your Contacts have disappeared, then under System Preferences, click on iCloud and make sure you are signed into iCloud. If you are not, sign in. If you are, sign out and then back in to see if that restores your contacts.
I take it you have already restarted your Mac? If not, do that as well.
Best of luck,

Retina Macbook Pro sudden OSX issues

Hello guys, my retina macbook pro is driving me insane....
The computer will -simply- not execute a lot of my instructions, orders, or it simply -lol- ignores me. (skynet much?)
Anyway, it really is bothering me and here is a rundown of issues I have -so far- experienced
a) No control over resolution. I keep changing the resolution to "best for retina" but when I reboot , the system just doesnt care and changes the resolution to "more space".
b) No control over login items. No matter what changes I make, removing entirely the programs using the "minus" icon (not just unticking the items), it never makes a change when I reboot the computer. It still lists all the items I removed.
c) Finder boots up every time the computer is on and with the applications folder poping up. I tried removing the finder.plist from the preferences but it doesnt matter the computer still pops up the applications folder when I boot up.
d) I cannot even change the desktop background and make the option stick after a reboot. I choose another desktop and everything seems alright, then I reboot, and it switches back to the one it is "stuck" with.
e) Iphoto needs to repair the library every time I open the application.... no matter what...
f) I noticed that the system and specifically the kernel task is taking up much more ram than before. With a fresh boot my computer normally had 6.20 GB of free Ram available and kernel took up about 700MB. Now when I boot, the free memory has droped to around 5.40GB free and kernel takes up about 1.20 GB
I tried reseting the PRAM and SMC but without success.
Any help will be really appreciated, I know all things must be connected to each other, there must be a single reason that causes all this mess, probably a preferences file or system file... anyone can help me because this really drives me insane and I really dont want to go through all this reinstalling ML thing....

I am logged in as admin. I deleted some preference files for the login and now I do have control over login items, yet the rest of the issues still persist.
I am repairing permissions and yet no problem has been found. Only an ACL thing that was repaired as it says.
