RMBP Late 2013 external monitor glitch with Dell UP2715K

I recently picked up the new Dell UP2715K absolutely beautiful 4K monitor, I have however just encountered a problem specifically when using Photoshop mainly when doing skin retouching work with brushes.
When I move the brush or cursor during Photoshop I get black box instead of the cursor and sometimes black lines on the screen. The machine does become slightly laggy also.
These are the specs i'm running on so not an old machine, I also want to add i'm not trying to use the Dell Monitor at 4K either, I was at 2880px wide I think.
Any help would be awesome.

I have noticed the black box over the cursor on Photoshop CC 2014 only when I have the monitor plugged in. When I unplug the screen it works as normal on the rMBP screen.
I'm not entirely sure what that means, but someone with more knowledge would be able to shed some light on this?

This is what worked for me to install 8.1 Pro on brand new rmbp late 2013 NO WORKAROUND

15 in rmbp, late 2013. Extrernal apple USB drive. USB key for bootcamp drivers. Brand new windows 8.1 pro full version from store. No Upgrade.
Used Bootcamp assistant to 1) save drivers to usb key 2) partition drive to two. Left usb key and drive connected.
Bootcamp assistant reboots mac, windows splash screen. Follow instructions including having to reformat the newly created partition which is usual. No bootcamp parttionn name is present but it should be obvious which is the OSX and Windows partition. Windows begins installing then fails. rmbP is stuck.
Restart nothing, just grey screen. Call apple care. Have to PRM, press on, hold command option P and R keys.Release when apple beep starts. Then it will boot back into OS-X
Boots into osx. Go to bootcamp assistant. Follow instructions and windows partition is removed to give a single OSX parttion. Reopen bootcamp assistant. Repartition. leave USB key and external drive attached. Restart and follow instructions as before. NO issues.
Note, the "almost ready" splash screen hangs for a long time.
Then bootcamp installer comes up. Build 5411.NVIDA driver installed etc. Auto resart after drivers installed. USB drive and key attached. WIndows splash screen. SUCCESSFULLY installed.
OI can also hold down option now on restart to sleect which OS to boot into . WORKS GREAT.
I suspect you have to do a PRM reset after first failure using bootcamp assistant to get it to install properly thereafter.
After I did this I was able to install fine using bootcamp installer in OS-X. No need for ANY work arounds.

This process worked for me on a new Mac Pro (early 2014) to get Windows 8.1 (not 8.0) installed, although I did make one slight change to the process: instead of following your advice at the point: "Restart and follow instructions as before", I instead restarted and used the windows partitioner dialog to 1) delete the bootcamp partition, and 2) create a new partition that was slightly smaller than the remaining available space (by about 1GB). The installer said it might need to create an additional small partition (which it did). I continued with the rest of the install process as you describe above. (Yes, it did take a long time to get past the "almost ready" part.)
Thank you very much for your post!

13" rMBP Late 2013 Warm Palm Rest

Hi,
This is my second 13" rMBP Late 2013 (i5 2.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, 256GB SSD, Retina 13"). I exchanged the first one only to get a US keyboard instead of French Canadian. On the first one, I never noticed the warm palm rest... on my new one, it feels quite warm, especially on the left side. iStat says the palm rest is at 32C when idle, and during a stress test (100% CPU), it got to 35C. Reviews talk about 28C idle and 32C at full load.
Is it often like this or I should exchange it? Am I the only one with this issue?

that is normal when playing games or doing other intensive things on a mac. It wont damage it, the mac would shut off before it started to get so hot it might cause damage.

My external monitor worked with my MacBook Pro before I took it on a little trip, now it won't work. Any suggestions?

Never mind. Sorry. It fixed itself.

Is every external monitor compatible with mac via a thunderbolt to vga cable

Is every external monitor compatible with macbook air via thunderbolt to vga??????/

Yes if the monitor has a VGA D-Sub input port.
Otherwise you'll need a TB to Whatever The Input of The Monitor Is adapter. Could be DVI or HDMI.

Is the late 2013 mac pro compatible with 10.8.5

Is the late 2013 mac pro compatible with 10.8.5

No, except through emulation inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

Have the external monitor issues with the rMBP been resolved?

I am looking to buy a new external monmitor and do not want to spend the $1000 for the Apple TB display. I was looking at the Viewsonic 27"IPS panel. It had gotten good reviews, but all over the internet, and right here in this forum the problems are well documented. The retina MBP does play nice with external monitors. Apple guys at my nearest store in Albany tell me they have heard of no problems whatsoever, I didnt have time to show them all the complaints. So now I am stuck. Anywords of wisdom?
I am running a 2.6GHz i7 with 16gb and the 500GB SSD
OS. 10.8.3
Thanks All.

I have to use an external monitor with my macbook pro because the screen stopped working a couple months ago. I think the problem with the screen is just a loose connection for the light source because the computer works fine otherwise. The repair people in town say that it's a bad logic board which will cost 700 euros to fix so I've been using it closed with the monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I installed 10.9.2 the other day because I had been using 10.6.8 and there was some software I wanted to use but it needed 10.7 or later. I just assumed 10.9 was safe or better than 10.7 or 10.8 and I didn't do any research or even try to buy or DL them because the links on the apple site led me to 10.9 and I just blindly followed. So NOW when I open the lid to my macbook pro, the menu at the top of the monitor goes gray and the monitor flicks off for a second, and when it comes back all the running applications have vanished from the desktop, (all the open windows) and I can't type, scroll, mouse. When I close the lid it works ok, but I really like the isight camera and I think the microphone is better than the one on my external camera, so it was nice to still be able to use them.
I chatted with someone at apple for a while and he told me to erase my HD and install it again. He said the problems were because I installed it on top of an old OS and that a fresh install will fix all the problems. I have an empty partition on my mbp and I'm about to try to install on that drive and see if it makes a difference, but I don't totally trust that guy. I read the transcript of the chat and he gave me a lot of conflicting info. Does anyone know if it makes a difference to install os 10.9.2 on a totally blank drive, or will the problems on the other partition corrupt everything else?

RMBP13 late 2013 desktop graphics performance with 30" and 24" external displays

Looking into getting a rMBP13 late 2013. The only thing currently holding me back is if the Intel 5100 can drive the 30" (2560x1600) and 24" (1920x1200) in addition to the notebook's 2560x1600 display without lag with desktop productivity apps, playing full screen video on each display, etc...
If you have experience with this type of setup, or 2x 27" cinema displays 2560x1440 iirc) I would appreciate it if you could share your experience. Also, if you have this type of setup with boot camp, what is the performance like under Windows 8.1 on the bare metal.
Many thanks,
M.

Anyone?

External Monitor blurry with MacBook Pro

Good day, I have searched the forums but have not found a solution to my problem...
I recently purchased a Dell 2005FWP External Monitor and plugged it in (DVI to VGA) to my MacBook Pro. It automatically adjusted to a 800x600 resolution which of course is not ideal. The menu gives a long list of display resolutions but most of them are "not available" when I click on them. I have tried switching the docks and the monitors to the opposite sides on "Arrangement" of displays but I still don't get a different menu. I can't seem to find the menu of resolutions for the MacBook Pro either.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong...Sorry, I know I am clueless!!
Thank you!

I have a ViewSonic VX2035wm display connected to my MacBook Pro - the image on the external monitor shows ghosting and double images like we used to see on old tube TVs.
Here is a post from MacFixIt.com that details my problem.

Late-2008 MacBooks: Image problems on external displays with mini-DisplayPort converters
The new MacBooks and MacBook Pros come with a Mini-DisplayPort adaptor for external video, and Apple supplies various adaptors (DP to DVI, and DP to VGA) to accommodate current monitors. Some users are having difficulties with their adaptors when connected to certain monitors.
Apple Discussions poster Ocell writes:
"I have the exact same problem with my Viewsonic VG2030wm 20" LCD. I've ruled out bad DVI cables. The Macbook Pro works with my 12" Cintiq's display, and the Viewsonic works with my Intel iMac, so the video out/mini displayport adaptor/dvi cable/viewsonic display are all operational. It's just the specific combination of the Macbook Pro and Viewsonic that doesn't work."
This problem has been found to frequently occur with DVI adaptors attached to their computers, however it has also happened with users connecting to the VGA adaptors. In these cases, unlike the DVI situation where no signal gets through, users have noticed the screen blinking or shutting off at random times. While drivers may definitely be suspect, the problem appears to be hardware-related since users have experienced the issue both in Mac OS X as well as in Windows via Boot Camp.
The DisplayPort connections used on the new MacBooks have slight differences in their protocols than other connection types, which allows for expanded functions in smaller connectors, but also can run users into difficulties, especially when older connetion types are used. While there could be software involvement in this problem, it sounds like there's most likely a firmware-related problem that hopefully can be patched by Apple, or at least be accommodated for in a driver update.
Things to Try
Reset the monitor to defaults If there is a method for fully resetting the monitor, try doing that first. Most have a menu option to reset to factory defaults, but in addition there may be a way to fully reset the device such as unplugging it for an extended period of time. This information may be available on the manufacturer's website, or users can just try unplugging the device for an extended period such as 20-30 minutes.
Toggle various monitor setups In the "Displays" system preferences, toggle desktop mirroring on and off to see if the monitor is not just extending the desktop to the second monitor. Especially if users have black wallpaper on their desktops, secondary monitors that are just serving as extended desktops may appear to be off when connected. Alternatively users can try dragging documents off the sides of their main monitor to see if they go over to the second monitor.
Reset the computer Users might try resetting the computer's PRAM (which does contain some graphics parameters) by holding the options, command, P, and R keys down at bootup until the computer resets and makes the boot chimes again. Release the keys and allow the computer to boot normally. Additionally, users might try resetting the computer's system management controller. Here is an Apple Support article on how to do that.
Use a different monitor Unfortunately, with hardware problems such as this users will not be able to do much, so if another monitor is available that works then users should switch to that.
Try another adaptor Many monitors support both VGA and DVI inputs, and there is potential for users to get things working by using another connection type. Additionally, while it may be a long shot, users might also try chaining together various adaptors. For instance, users might try going from displayport to DVI, and then using a DVI to VGA adaptor as the next connection, to see if that somehow sends a proper signal to the monitor.

MBP - late 2007 - external monitor stopped working

I have a late 2007 MBP pro, 17" monitor. I have been using a 30" dell monitor (3007WFP) as an external monitor for home use. It has been working fine for 4 years. Last night the monitor stopped waking up from sleep and now only gives a blank screen even after reboots. The monitor seems ok ( it goes through the self-test routine normally), and I have tried different cables with no success.
I have tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM on the MBP but that too did not fix it.
The monitor has an orange LED light on the power button indicating the power is connected (though it is not blue which would indicate it is receiving a signal). It also recognizes that is has a DVI hook-up (or else it would repeat the self-test).
The MBP detects the external monitor (or at least seems to - it is listed as a display and allows me to choose a resolution, although obviously that does nothing since the monitor is completely black). I haven't yet been able to get another laptop or monitor to test the other components to make sure the monitor is ok.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thank you

Your on the right track when you said "I haven't yet been able to get another laptop or monitor to test the other components to make sure the monitor is ok.". Also include a different cable in that scenario, if you can.
Ciao.

External monitor issues with new OS

HT5918 Mac Pro (Late 2013) Dual monitors freeze on startup?

I've got 2 monitors, 1 HDMI and 1 MiniDisplayPort/DVI into Thunderbolt, and the computer can't start, it crashes during the boot process. The main screen freezes just as the login comes up, the MDP screen is scrambled, and the mouse cursor is a spinning pizza.
The only solution so far is to remove the MDP cable during startup, but that is a dealbreaker because dual monitors is the sole reason I bought this, and c'mon it's a really expensive computer -- even my old MacBook could handle 2 monitors!
Any insights or solutions appreciated.

Have you tried another cable and adapter?
Try another DVI monitor to help determine the cause
Are you using a Thunderbolt port not shared with the HDMI port?

RMBP late 2013 - Random Crashes

Hi.
My late 2013 rMBP is having random crashes, and it looks like it is graphic card related:
It happens randomly when
- Opening Launchcontrol with the trackpad gesture
- Scrolling content in safari
- System events that require zoom
- Booting up: sometimes it freezes while in the apple logo screen, but most of them happen when the apps are loading up.
When recovering from the crashes, sometimes the keyboard settings change, it loads the american layout
There is no time associated with the crashes, it is random. It can crash 10 straight times and then stay one entire day without it.
There are no kernel panics, only system freezes and it unable to unfreeze unless pressing power button.
Reset of SMC and PRAM didn't solve, neither did fix permissions and repair disk.
Any suggestion?

External monitor usage with Satellite A100-PSAA9

I have a problem when I connect a 2º external monitor, it connect but next it disconect , it's always connecting and disconecting. I made the update of display driver and bios but I still have the same problem, what can i do?
My operating system is windows vista.

What do you mean exactly with disconnecting and connecting?
Does the display switch to the internal and external display or the display on the external monitor goes simply off.
Did you check the connection to the notebooks monitor port?
