Severe Safari graphical glitches MacBook Pro Retina 15"

Hello. I have been having these annoying glitches since the day I bought my MacBook Pro Retina 15" on December 2012. These are not those almost invisible glitches present on the support topics currently. They are incredibly large, sometimes filling an entire webpage with a blank rectangle or parts from other pages (even tabs that were already closed).
I am absolutelly sure this is something to do with the crappy Intel HD Graphics 4000 board, because these gliches only occur while I am with the "Automatic graphics switching" option selected.
I have also noted this only happens on websites that use a lot of javascript animations.
Let's put this in topics:
The problem happens when:
Using automatic graphics switching (using Intel HD Graphics Board)
Using Safari 6.0.2 and Mac OS 10.8.2
Browsing websites with heavy javascript animations
The problem disappears when:
NOT using graphics switching (using Nvidia board)
Using any other browsers (tried Chrome and Firefox)
What I have tried and did not fix my problem
Fixing permissions
Resetting the SMC
Here are some examples:
And now some examples with the graphics switching off (Using the Nvidia board)
Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you for reading!

Apple - Feedback
Have seen similar lines and artifacts on Safari on my 13" MBP. It's a software bug and based on your additional findings, linked to bad drivers for the Intel 4000 chipset. File your findings with Apple on that Feedback page for your respective system. Make sure you provide all the info like you did here. Someone will eventually see it and add it to the engineering things to fix if it hasn't already been addressed in the soon to be released 10.8.3 build.

Pixelated text and graphics in MacBook Pro Retina

Why are text and graphics in pixelated in Numbers and iBooks applications, to name two, on the MacBook Pro Retina? All updates have been downloaded.

Clinton- The problem is that the way things are setup is a bit confusing. Apple doesn't let us use the actual full resolution of 2880 x 1800, in relateive size. There is a hack to see the screen at full native resolution, and it's unbelievably small. So what they do is use the pixels, but use 4 vs 1, and thus they make the UI look like it would look as standard 1440 x 900 display. I have an old 15" and looking at both, the UI is the same relative size on the screen. However the retina is using more pixels to make the same physical size.
Now, Apple also lets apps use 1:1 within their "working area." For instance, if you view a graphic on a web page, it shows it doubled, and pixelated. But if you drag that image to the desktop then open in Preview, preview will show it half size of Safari, but in actual resolution. it's sharp, but half the size of Safari, as Safari is doubling it. So apps can take advantage of that but will have to be updated. Pixelmator isn't updated, and graphics/text/vectors are blurry in their work area, but once you save/export, and view in preview, they are perfect.
So there is going to be a lot of strange stuff going on until everyone gets on the same page.
I did find you can view Pages/Numbers with better resolution (just not icons) by right-clicking "get info" and unchecking open in low resolution. But Pages acts weird. I will post a screenshot in a minute about what I mentioend about apps using the native resolution within work spaces.

Error while trying to install safari extensions on Macbook Pro Retina

Dear All,
Yesterday I had to re-install Mountain Lion OS on MacBook Pro Retina. Everything went smoothly however after the installation process and updating sytem to the newest possible version, I am not able to install any Safari extensions. I was trying to find any information in the internet about this but so far I am unsuccessful in solving this issue. I am currently running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.1. I would be grateful for any help.
Best Regards,
Jan

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Safari anomalies with Macbook Pro Retina

I've been using a MBPr for 2-3 months now, and have had three replacements with the same exact issues in Safari:
Blocks of data show up as missing / corrupt on many websites (Gmail, Amazon, eBay, etc)
Typing text into text fields shows delays / missing characters (and is literally occurring as I type this right now)
GIFs stutter while loading, and usually become smooth after fully loaded
Going back one page yields a blank white screen about 25% of the time
This website shows great examples of this: http://installingcats.com/2012/08/02/safari-6-macbook-pro-retina-mountain-lion-p roblems/
There are other communities that show the same occurance. The problems are so distracting that every minute or two of casual browsing yields some major amount of website display issue, and I'm forced to use Chrome. This is my third MBPr replacement with the exact same issues. I've tried PRAM resets, reinstallation of the OS, etc. My thoughts are that either Apple hasn't done much / any quality control of the MBPr using Safari, or I have a third party application that is somehow corrupting my Safari experience. These are the programs I'm running:
Office 2011
Photoshop CS6
Cinch
GrowlVoice
I'm most skeptical of Office 2011 since it requires that Safari be shut down during installation. Perhaps a system file is getting corrupted during the installation? Does anyone have any recommendations about this? I'd really like to use Safari, as it is a much smoother experience than Google Chrome.

dwb, thanks for the advice. I will try the second account idea to see if the problems go away. Out of curiosity, do you know of any way to reload Safari's core files aside from a reinstall of ML? Is there a way to sorta clean house on the browser, such as wiping out preferences, etc? I've tried the "Safari > Reset Safari" route to no avail.
For what it's worth, in many ways this IS the best computer I've ever used. In Boot Camp Windows 7, it's hands down the best Windows computer I've ever owned. In OSX, this thing runs **** near amazing, with the exception of something as simple as web browsing. As a student, I'm not exactly sure what I'll do if it turns out to be an issue with Office 2011 corrupting some Safari file... Office is a pretty important program, but then again, I'm making an assumption that Office is the culprit.

Upgrade graphics card macbook pro retina display mid 2012

Can I upgrade the graphics card on my macbook pro retina display mid 2012 ?
If I can where can I get the parts from ?
Thank you

The only way to do that upgrade is to convert your MacBook Pro to CASH (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a Mac more to your liking.

Glitchy graphics on Macbook Pro Retina

Just got a new Macbook Pro 15" Retina a few weeks ago and experiencing some graphics glitches and lagging. It's most noticeable when using exposé or mission control. I've tried switching betwee integrated graphics and the graphics card with no dice. I'm also up to date on all the latest updates out there.

Contact Apple about this problem.

Graphic Glitch - MacBook Pro, 15-inch, mid 2010

Hey everyone,
I have a MBP 15" mid 2010
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
HDD1 OCZ-VERTEX2 SSD 120GB
HHD2 (replacing optical drive) Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch XT ST95005620AS 500GB
I have a graphical glitch quite often, which consists of some on screen corruption that lasts for a few milliseconds - enough for me to see it, but rarely enough for me to actually take a screenshot of it. Last week I managed to finally take a screenshot of it, which is great, as I can finally show that I'm not crazy. Please see below.
I pretty much assume it will be a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (which is usually in use all the time, since I use an external screen in addition to my mbp 15" one).
Now, because this is not a crash event I doubt there'll be any log about it (but I'm all ears).
Regarding it's consistency and frequency it's very hard to say... it does happen a lot throughout the day. I have tried not running programmes that I feel interact with graphics a lot (F.lux and gfxCardStatus) but to no avail.
Anyone has any experience with this or some advice for me?
Thanks!

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
Clinton

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

Macbook pro retina graphic glitch

Hello,
I'd like to share with you my story with the problems I've had with my macbook pro retina 15' 2012 (with both intel and nvidia graphics) and ask for some help.
First of all, back when it still had Mountain Lion as its OS I already detected some graphic glitches. When I started the mbpr, 1 out of 5 times it would load buggy. The dock would shake whenever I move the mouse over it, exposé would lag a lot and eventually scrolling in Safari was terrible, incredibly shaky. Basically every animation on the OS went laggy or just at 10 fps.
However the performance in terms of speed and results was still OK. If I played a game I would detect no error whatsoever.
So after some months of ignoring it because I had work and couldn't take the mac to the store I decided to take it. It was getting worse as it started to happen more often than usual. By then I had already upgraded to Mavericks (no clean install, just updated) and the problem still persisted.
Visit #1:
After explaning the problem and being able to show it to the genius they took my mac. They called a couple of days after telling me it was a OS issue and they did a clean install of Mavericks.
So I took it home, reinstall everything from scratch, they told me it may be an account/user issue so I better not use time machine to recover anything.
After a month it started to happen again. I have to say that it happen after I had already installed everything quite some time before, not right after installing any particular app or while running any.
It would load buggy again 1 out of 2/3 times and it wouldn't stop until I restarted and if I was lucky enough it would load OK.
Visit #2:
I returned to the genius and explained again the problem. They decided that it had to be some graphic issue related to the intel or nvidia systems so they replaced the logic board.
Again a couple of weeks later I detected the problem again.
Visit #3:
Once more to the store, they were quite puzzled that even after replacing the motherboard it would still show the issue.
After doing some tests they decided to reinstall Mavericks. Once installed they found no issue so they decided it was solved.
After this I had to return once again because it turn out that they forgot to connect the keyboard backlight system and it wouldn't light.
Anyway, this time I decided to install only the absolutely necesary apps for my work. I even downloaded the newest versions of all of them (if they had newer). Most of those apps are from the Mac App Store and the ones that are not are absolutely famous and used by thounsands of people, not that I use alphas or betas of any app.
One important detail is that the problem was getting worse. Now every time I started the mac it would be buggy and it was extremely shaky, it was impossible to read while scrolling in Safari now. Sometimes when using exposé/mission control it would even show weird pixels on screen. Every time I had this problem it was worse, more shaky and more often.
Visit #4:
Being already a VIP visitor of the genius bar I went decided to solve the problem once and for all. I told them every detail, they saw the problem and I insisted on the software I had was completely "normal". They told me they would replace the screen, the logic board again and the IO just in case.
So imagine my surprise when I receive a call from the genius who was repairing my machien saying that after reinstalling Mavericks it showed no issue! I was furious. They insisted that it was some app I had installed and that I needed to install one app at a time, wait ONE WEEK and if nothing happens install the next.
They were not kidding aparently. After complaining I had no choice but to take my mac back and....here I am.
So my question (after the diary I've written, sorry) is:
Is this really being caused by an app I have installed? Is really an app capable of crash the entire animation system and only while in the OS UI and not in games? I've never had any app running on the background besides Fantastical (from Appstore) and Dropbox (updated).
I am listing the apps I had last time I resintalled everything:
1. 2Do (appstore)
2. Indesign CC
3. Appcleaner
4. Autocad 2014
5. World of warcraft
6. Dropbox
7. Evernote (appstore)
8. Fantastical (appstore)
9. Keynote, Pages & Numbers (appstore)
10. Pixelmator (appstore)
11. Sketchup 2014
12. Skype
13. Steam
14. The unarchiver
15. Transmission
16. VLC
17. iPhoto
So, 17 apps, which I believe are just a few. Is there any of those apps you think may cause any issue? I haven't installed anything yet. I am using my old macbook pro (which btw have every app I had in the buggy retina with no problem whatsoever) while I try to see if the problem persist while installing nothing.
I still don't believe it is a software problem. Since it appears every time sooner and with more "intensity" I suspect it might be hardware but I am no expert.
Thanks for any help or info you can share!

Go for a few day (2-3) without installing any apps. Then install AutoCAD 2014 first and run only that for another couple of days. See if the problems resurface. If not, go ahead and reinstall all software, making sure that you create a clone after everything's installed (try Carbon Copy Cloner - they have a few 30-day evaluation period, I believe).
If problems resurface, you'll know that it's hardware.
Good luck,
Clinton

Safari graphical user interface poor quality on Macbook Pro Retina

I’ve noticed that the Safari graphical user interface quality is not good on my Macbook Pro Retina display. Although it has been optimized for Retina displays I keep seeing strange artifacts or glitches from time to time, while this one is persistent, check out the dark stripe behind the bookmarks toolbar : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pa7zizpbi7vdx41/Screen%20Shot%202013-04-21%20at%2012.5 6.11%20PM.png (if the link doesn’t open on click just do the right click - open in new tab) There are also same “spots” on toolbar buttons (bookmark folders) as well, but they are a bit harder to discern.
I don’t think it is a graphic card or display issue since almost all of retina-ready apps work just fine (I have replaced my LG with a Samsung screen, btw).
I wonder does anybody have the same experience with Safari? And if so, has anyone managed to solve the issue?

Try creating a brand new account (in System Preferences -> Users & Groups) and test there.
Tried. The same.
I don't actually have a retina machine, but I see no reason for this to be related to the fact that you have a retina MBP. Unless you have information that suggests it is present on other similar machines...?
At first I thought that it was just on the Retina, but then I really looked into my external monitor and saw it — looking at it right now. It seems to me that when Always show tab bar is ON the space between Bookmarks bar and the tab is sloppy sliced.
The hDPI screen reveals the graphic irregularities from regular DPI screens without a problem.
The reason I posted this here is because I saw many people are having glitches, artifacts and flickers with Safari (on Retina).

Macbook Pro Retina crashing when running Safari and iTunes since Mavericks

Hello everyone. I am starting a new thread even though there seem to be a lot of various crash reports. I have noticed several entire system crashes (never, ever happened on my mac before until I updated to Mavericks) when using iTunes and Safari at the same time. The entire computer crashes and/or freezes up - no keyboard or mousepad response, and no crash report, only option to manually restart by holding down power button. I include an etrecheck report below fyi, but cannot seem to locate anything myself. I do not use external montiors or any other open apps or extensions. OI have put this under Mavericks because this problem (as well as others I have had to fix) has only begun since updating the OS. Apple tells me that I just have to be patient for the other software to catch up to Mavericks - but this is Apple's software! Any ideas? Many, many thanks, and Merry christmas.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

MacBook Pro Retina Safari Fix

Hey All,
First time poster...thanks for making the site such a great place. Received a replacement MacBook Pro Retina and still have the same issues in Safari.
Here are two sample websites that look weird when I go to view:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2012/10/12/iphone-5-troubles/1630389/
(Acts really weird when scrolling down to the bottom. By the way, I just happened to notice that the page had issues...nothing against the iPhone 5. I actually hope to purchase one soon.)
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8012443/Blues-have-Moses-offer-acc epted
(This one has a vertical line down the page. Credit: another poster on here provided this link...very appreciated.)
Has anyone found a fix? Here are Screen Shots:
Also, has anyone had something like this picture below, where the top bar turns black? Do you know of anything that helps?
Lastly, are there any fixes for the typing issue, where it starts looking weird as you type?
Some things I've tried:
-Turning off "Automatic Graphics Switching" in Energy Saver -- helps with the vertical line thing, but not with that USAToday.com site.
-Specifying "Never" for "Display Sleep" for both 'Battery' and 'Power Adapter' in Energy Saver -- didn't do anything.
I appreciate your help,
Ben

Please explain "Safari freezes my mac book pro all the time".
Have you tried a different browser like Firefox?

You have too much junk installed…
The 'easy' way - reinstall
I think you will be quickest backing up the HD to an external disk (check it still boots!). Erase the internal HD, reinstall 10.9, migrate your USER DATA ONLY back to 10.9, reinstall the apps you use, then delete the old login items & user launchd jobs that migrated. You should have a stable system at the end of it.
The hard way - 'cleaning up'
Firstly search these forums for opinions on running Sophos's AV - it adds extra work to your system & many have had issues with it on 10.9. At the very least ensure it is the latest release & 10.9 supported. Sophos is running 7 system level background jobs and 2 kernel extensions! These all can modify how the system runs.
At the end of cleanup you may have a stable system - it really depends on how much effort you put into clearing out all the system level jobs that are not compatible with 10.9. The developers don't make it easy to remove software too, so you may have a lot of searching to do (for instructions & uninstallers).
All of this below needs looking at !

Uninstall Jacksta, the 'startup items' have been deprecated since 10.4 - Apple told developers to stop using them years ago.
Update all the other apps listed or find uninstallers/ removal instructions to correctly remove the software.
Are all those sierrawireless and novatelwireless drivers used or needed anymore?
Can you uninstall BlueStacks? It's failing to run jobs inside your user account, get rid of things that don't work (or update them & check they do work).
Java's updater is failing to run - is Java up to date? Do you need Java installed? It isn't installed on Mac OS anymore because of it's lousy security record. Update or remove if you don't need it.
You could try removing Sophos & find that the Mac runs OK - but eventually having all the old kernel extensions & background jobs around will eventually cause something else to break.
