Screen flashes when waking up from sleep, Macbook Pro Retina 13" early 2013

Hey guys,
I have an issue with the wake up procedure on my new Macbook Pro Retina 13". This is how it looks: http://youtu.be/pBK8vRiVdX4
When my computer has been in sleep mode for a longer time (approximately 1-3 hours) it does this strange thing when I open the lid. It is black for a time and suddenly there is a blue flashing screen before it goes to the desktop. This process is about 10 seconds.
Does anyone know if there is a solution for this? Have you had the same problem? I called Apple support this morning and he told me to reset SMC and clear the PRAM, but the issue is still there.
Please let me know if you know something about this.
Kindly,
Mikael

i had the same problem too and i think i could isolate its cause. I tried a few things on my 13 inch retina macbook pro like switching off functions like ''put hard disk to sleep when possible'' but this wasnt a solution to the problem... after alot of playing around with my macbook, i realised that this flashing problem only occured when my macbook was scaled up to any resolution other than the native resolution... when i went back to the native resolution, the flashing stopped and my macbook started almost instantaneously after opening the screen... you should try it out... and tell me what you think...
think it is pretty annoying that we get this issue when scaled up to some other resolution and wish there is a solution somewhere online to solve this... but for now, i think it is quite an annoying bug but still not something i cant live with...
tell me what think about it:)

Macbook Pro Retina 15' (early 2013) / Creaking noise and hinge loose

Hi,
After a couple of months of using my Macbook Pro Retina 15' (early 2013) started to creak when closing and opening. At first it wasn't loud but now, when im not using it for couple of hours and then try to open it creaks really bad. Also i've noticed that on the left side of the hinge i've got more space then on the right side. Unfortunately my guarantee is over and i live in country where we dont have Apple Stores, ony premium resellers, and their services aren't good. In the links below you can find pictures of this loose hinge. My question here is: Does anybody know what i can do, or maybe know what needs to be done. Before taking it to my "professional" service i would like to know what's wrong with my macbook, so they won't rob me

you can check with task manager if something running in the backgroup taking up much cpu usage
(cpu idle is not a program it's where all % not! used are shown)

Screen issues when waking up from sleep

Very strange things going on with the screen on my new MBP, it has only occurred on a very few occasions now, after waking up from sleep. I noticed two strange effects happening, not at the same time so I don't know if they are related or not.
1) Sometimes the screen shows a varying brightness pattern at the bottom, I think caused by some of the LEDs from the backlighting having a different brightness then others.
2) Sometimes the entire screen has a blueish hue.
Both issues are fixed when I restart the computer.... anyone know what might be going on...?

Also when it wakes up from sleep the screen flashes, don't think its supposed to do that.
Here is a picture I took with my phones that shows how the screen looks like, notice the difference in brightness in a pattern.

Issues after waking up from sleep, macbook pro

Macbook Pro, retina display, mid 2014, 2.6 GHz i5
Yosemite 10.10.1
This problem started about 4 days ago. If I let my computer sleep for a over about an hour, one start up I have lots of issues. It is hard to explain what it is, so I'll explain what I am capable of still doing. The cursor works as in I can move it, but I cannot click anything. Also there is no "hover over" capabilities, like if I hover over something on the dock it usually won't say the programs name. The windows I had open are still there, but I cannot minimize or close them (as I cannot click).
This started like 4 days ago, I have tried a few fixes. One of which was upgrading to Yosemite, I was running Mavericks when it started. The problems persists. I then talked to someone from apple who suggested a SMC reset, but the issue is still there.
The only way I have been able to "fix it" is if after a start up the problem is there, close the lid for a minute, then open it back up. The issue usually then solves itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Slow Wi-Fi Reconnect After Wake from Sleep (Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012)

Hello!
I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, maybe someone out there can help.
The issue I'm having is with Wi-Fi taking a long time to reconnect after my Macbook Pro Retina wakes from sleep. Usually I need to go and reselet the network.
I've gone through some trouble shooting forums and have had no success. I've tried turning off Wi-Fi and turning it back on after a couple minutes and it turns on right away.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Regards
CJ.

Memory leakage Macbook pro retina 15inch Early 2013

Hi,
This is my first posting to the Apple community, so please forgive me if have missed a previous posting on this subject.
I have an early 2013 15 inch MBPro retina running 8 gigs. My previous device was a MBpro 15 early 2008 4 gigs of ram. I never expected the 2013 with double the ram to be constantly dropping below 2 gigs with only FireFox and/or MS word running.   The older 2008 device used only 2 gigs to run these programs. It appears that the 2013 model is using 6 gigs.
I took the 2013 15 inch MBpro retina to the Apple store for the Geniuses to run their diagnostics. They said my device was running normally. To prove such, they simultaneously opened Jim Carrey's web site 8 times and showed me that all of his the crazy stuff was working in each window. They said that it is normal for a SSD machine to run on low memory.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that when my memory drops when just using my normal Firefox based surfing, my track pad scrolling starts to get very sluggish until my "memory clean" kicks in at 1.6 gigs and brings the memory up to around 2.5 gigs. As I continue to surf, then the process repeats itself. I never expected my old 2008 device to use significantly less ram running light applications better than my new 2013 device.
I have seen others post an "EtreCheck" and hopefully by posting mine, somebody can find what the Apple Geniuses could not.
Thank you for your help!!

Macbook Pro Retina 13' Early 2013 and 45W Charger

Hey all,
I need to buy a new charger for my MBP Retina 13' Early 2013 and I want to know if I can use a 45W Charger Magsafe 2.
Thanks to all !

no you can not - it doesn't not have enough power to charge your battery.
stick with the 60 watt charger.
from apple's website below:
For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook.
Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer. The tables further down in this article show the style of connector that initially shipped with each model of MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air.

I recently bought the macbook pro retina display early 2013? should I return it and get the late 2013 model?

You have 14 days exchange
New retina has which yours doesn't -
802ac wifi, very very fast
Haswell cool running processor
Longer batt life
Lightweight form factor
Faster PCIe SSD
Overall a better machine to have yes
Your choice is subjective to your needs however

Secuirty lock for macbook pro retina 15inch early 2013

MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early 2013 Logicboard Failed

i've just bought MBP retina for about 14days old and its logicboard already failed!
As soon as it boot up to OSX, about 20sec-30sec it showed kernel panic warning or it just does not respond anything.
i've already tried anything (PVRAM reset,SMC reset,Apple hardware test,Reinstalling OSX) even when doing Hardware test and reinstalling OSX it showed kernel panic warning (i just barely installed OSX Mavericks because it keeps showed kernel panic warning when installing OSX)
i believe this is logicboard failed / hardware failed, some of the Apple Authorized Store employee told me maybe Mavericks is the culprit that failed the hardware
how do you guys think? is there any solution?
i cannot get the new replacement bacause they said you can get the new replacement if under 2days after purchase

Baloney. Mavericks cannot cause a hardware filure
"i cannot get the new replacement bacause they said you can get the new replacement if under 2days after purchase"
Baloney. You can return the product within 14 days.
as for me too i can't believe that Mavericks can cause a hardware failure
I live in Indonesia, which one of the country that has worst experience on warranty

Noise from MacBook Pro Retina 13 late 2013

Hi,
I wonder if noise from my MacBook Pro Retina 13 late 2013 is normal. I can hear it only in quiet room (first time I heard it in the middle of the night). It’s very quiet noise. I don't know what to compare this noise. For me it’s sounds like clicking the spring. I can hear it when scrolling the webpage by trackpad, start mission control by gesture (or F3 key), changing the full screen apps by gesture or when minimize Safari or other apps. I think it depends on the graphic system work. It’s a little lauder when I use 1680x1050 scaled resolution than use 'best for display' resolution. I think the noise occurs when graphic system do some operation. Is it possible?
Today I was in Authorized Service Provider but technician heard nothing. There I can't hear this noise too, because this noise is very quiet and there is not total silence. Diagnostic tools show that everything is ok. But I still hear it in total quiet room. I tried to record this noise by iPhone but it can't do that.
Can you do me a favor and check this on your MacBook? Sit in totally quiet room, please. Set the scaled resolution 1680x1050 then bring ear closer to the keyboard and scroll a webpage (which have a lot of graphics) by gesture on the trackpad, start mission control or open notification center. Can you hear then any noise? Please listen carefully, because this is very quiet noise.
I’ll be very gratefully for your help. I wonder if only my MacBook making this noises or all MacBook Retina late 2013 making this.
Regards,
Mateusz

Hi Mateusz,
I have the same issue on my new MBP retina 13 late 2013. It's not disturbing because I can hear it in only very quiet room and only if the content of the screen is changing (like scrolling web pages). It reminds me the sound of old 3'5'' hard discs. I first thought it's a hdd, but then realised my mac has only SSD.
I think it's a noise from the voltage regulators. This is normal for very high speed high-voltage signals.
But any way, MBP 13 late 2013 is the best laptop I ever saw
It's just silent and cool like an ipad. I wonder if it has a rotating cooler at all.
Jon Bo
Thank you Jon Bo for your response. I agree with you. This noise is something like electronic noise, and it is related to the graphics card.
The rMBP 13 late 2013 works without any noise other then situations I’ve described above. The noise is so quiet that I can't hear it when e.g. external HDD working in the same room.

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

High power comsumption and wrong setting when waking up from sleep

See here for some more information: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-RTM-Discussion/High-Power-Consumption-with-Windows-7/td-p/1668...
Settings: T400, integrated GPU,"maximum battery live" power sheme, brightness level 3, wlan on. Newest switchable graphics driver, power manager and power management drivers installed, SU4 didn't find newer drivers.
Power consumption is between 12-16W most of the time, whereas it was close to 10W on XP, from what i heard from a friend, i installed win7 on my machine right after i bought the thinkpad.
When waking up from sleep( i think hibernation as well) power consumption is abnormal, because both GPUs are activated. You have to switch to to the dedicated and back to the integrated via power manager to deactivate the ATI, which is very annoying.
Is lenovo working on these issues or are there any workaroungs already?

I've got similar problems on a T400 with hybrid graphics running Windows 7 x64 Professional, upgraded from Vista x64 Professional. I've upgraded everything to the latest (driver, bios, etc etc) using System Update.
When I boot up from cold, and switch to using batteries, the power consumption is around 8w. Very good.
Then I suspend, and resume from suspend, and the power consumption shoots up to like 20w. Horrible.
Then I manually switch to "High performance" and then back to "Energy saving", the power consumption comes back down, but to >9w, which is like 13% above the original 8w level. Acceptable, but not good.
This seems to indicate there're at least two problems with the power management aspect of T400 + Win7 x64:
First, there is the well-known problem that both internal and external graphics cards get turned on upon resume. Lenovo, please fix this problem. It's completely unacceptable to have to manually perform that switching every time one closes, and then opens the lid, or loss 60% of the battery life. And I do need to use the external GPU from time to time, so disabling it at BIOS level is not acceptable either.
Second, there is the more subtle problem that some other hardware/driver besides the graphics card makes the T400 draw an extra >1w upon resume.
I really wonder if these problems occur with T400 preinstalled with Win7 x64. If they do, shouldn't every major laptop review sites take notice of the defect and warn people. If they don't, then I do not really see why it's so hard for Lenovo to provide earlier users with the right driver/registry patch/etc to enable the correct behavior. As far as I know, these problems have not been fixed since Win7 came out.
Finally let me add that other that this, I'm extremely satisfied with my T400/Win7 system. The thermal dissipation, noise level, and durability are just top-notch. But this just makes the above mentioned problems more of a thorn in the side!
