Slow internet with macbook pro retina (late2013)

The longer I'm having my new Macbook Pro Retina, the slower it gets concerning the internet.
There is sometimes no speed at all... I have to wait about half a minute to start the loading of for example an ebay site.
As I use my old Macbook Pro (late 2009) right beside the new one, I have the perfect comparison. The old one is fast as ever. Even my Iphone is much faster in our home WLAN. The new one just works and works on heavy loading site after site.
Shouldn't it be the opposite way?
Has someone the same problems?
Any solutions?

1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.

Slow performance with macbook pro retina

Saving an image (JPEG) with my lightning fast new macbook pro 2012 retina edition takes 30-60 seconds. Any ideas why? Mountain lion Mac OS, 8GB RAM. Can't upgrade RAM but shouldn't have to! I moved images to external hard drive since I was filling up memory on laptop quickly. I would appreciate ideas from anyone who knows Elements and Mac . Thanks.

This is my only computer now. Will check into auto analyzer (never heard of it). This is Elements 11, not the whole photoshop. It is the regular, not app version. I did move some of the photos from a past pc to it, but it seems to have the same slow speed with new photos as well. I installed Elements 11 on my mac with a disc. When I bought it, it came with both pc and mac discs. A guy at the apple store had me move all the photos onto my external hard drive. Its a new Apple 3 TB external hard drive. I actually tried to increase the RAM at the suggestion of my camera club friends who had similar problem and got relief with increasing RAM of 4 up to 12 or 16. Mine is 8 and can't be increased.

Slow internet with Macbook Pro

My desktop connects fine in downloading and browsing, but my Mac BookPro is sluggish to the point where I have to refresh just to get it to do anything. Anyone have ideas on why this is? Or simple solutions?

I think this is related to the MBP and possibly 10.5.2. I have just tested my connection speeds on my APEBS on my iMac 10.4..11 and PowerBook G4 10.5.1 and all had reasonable good connection speeds (using speedtest.net). I'm Jupiter, FL and I tested to Jacksonville, FL, Portland, ME, Colorado Springs, CO and San Jose, CA. The download/upload speeds on the iMac were 2836/386; 2801/401; 2577/362; 2474/398. The download/upload speeds on the PowerBook were 1827/365; 1326/406; 1557/319; 872/399.
Compare those to the MBP 10.5.2 2111/45; 1124/46; 930/125; 533/7
You can see a real problem with the upload speed (which is why I keep getting the "Safari can't find server" message).
Now compare these speeds to these when I take out the APEBS and hook the MBP directly to the DSL modem (Westel 6100). 1147/382; 6134/413; 5005/388; 4388/498
Vast improvements in both the download and the upload speeds.
I'm now using my iMac because the MBP is not usable with the internet with the APEBS Wi-Fi (slower than the old dial-up)

Slow render with Premier cs6 with macbook pro retina

I wish I could ask this question in french but when i clic on "N’hésitez pas à poster vos commentaires ou questions dans les forums dédiés." it bring me to a english page... I'm a member of adobe cloud and I'm using a macbook pro retina 15 inch, 16gig ram. I work with the camcorder HVR-V1U and adobe premiere CS6. When I make a render, trought adobe media encoder, from a HDV vidéo to a mpeg2-dvd files it takes around 11h of rendering for a 2 hours clips. The CPU only work at 8 % ! Can I solve this because now I think I should go back to my old PC with CS3 ? Thank you.

Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Premiere Pro forum. They will be able to help you here.

Network Issues with Macbook Pro Retina will Apple Router solve issues?

Hi, I just purchased a Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have been having major WIFI/Internet issues. Slow connections, constant spinwheel of death, half loading pages if the website has a lot of images (Facebook, etc). Sometimes I have to wait a fair bit of time and they may eventually load, or I'll have to close the browser and reload the page.
In the area I live in, Bell offers only Fibe 5.1 (802.11 g/b) at this time. I wondered if I purchased a separate router with an 802.11n connection (and disabled the router on the 2Wire modem from Bell), would this solve my issues or is Fibe 5.1 just unable to handle the new "n" technology/speed. I'd like to utilize this computer the way it was meant to be used, but the internet connection that I have leaves much to be desired. Bell won't be upgrading in my area for at least 6-12 months from what they tell me and I refuse to switch to Robbers (I mean Rogers).

I hate to go into a long rant but you may be able to fix your problem by just changing the channel on your 2wire router from ma Bell. They all come with the channel set to a default setting of channel 6 change it to 10. If you are in a high traffic area and they are all set on six you see where this is going. I have a 2 Wire in a high traffic area and I changed mine and it worked like a charm.
Hope this helps

2 issues with MacBook Pro Retina - Fan randomly speeds up and USB3.0 Issues

So I just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15" 2.40GHz.
Randomly, when nothing but finder is open, the fans will spin at full speed.
I have opened every application on the machine including serato, ableton, photoshop, VLC playing a 1080P movie, iTunes playing music and youtube playing videos in 2 tabs - and the fans do not spin as fast at it does when nothing is open or running (confirmed with activity monitor too).
Secondly, once I eject a USB3.0 drive from the machine, I have to reboot the system before the drive can be mounted, or even recognized at all by the computer. (it does not even show up in disk utility till the reboot). this happens with 2 seperate USB3.0 external hard drives that work fine on other rMBPs. This happens with both usb ports too.
I have reset SMC, PRAM, ran all Apple updates as well as reinstalled the operating system (as well as booted from a known good system in target disk mode).
Please help

There are a few threads reporting the fan issues you are dealing with which you might want to look at. I have now experianced it with four brand new 2013 rMBP.

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.

USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

REFInd with MacBook Pro, Retina: invalid loader file!

I'm trying to dual boot Arch and OSX on a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15". I've been following the Direct EFI booting (rEFInd) guide, but I've also read through a lot of the related docs. Because many instructions on the web seem outdated based on recent improvements in rEFInd, I will post what I have done so far since this info may be relevant.
1. I resized my harddrive. I installed arch on an ext4 formatted partition (/dev/sda4 with 128M gap before, ie.., sector "+128M" in cgdisk).
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 233.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 116G 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 619.9M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 17G 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 99.9G 0 part
2. Running OSX, I installed refind (refind-bin-0.8.0) using the --nodrivers option.
sudo ./install.sh --nodrivers
Installation appeared to be successful.
3. I updated the refind.conf file. The "scan_all_linux_kernels" is uncommented by default, and I uncommented the also_scan_dirs line so that these two lines appear as shown, with everything else default:
scan_all_linux_kernels
also_scan_dirs boot,ESP2:EFI/linux/kernels
Result: rEFInd loads on boot, but no option for Arch appears (only the Mac option).
4. I decide to try a manual menuentry, so I set the scanfor line like this:
scanfor internal,external,manual
Then, I write in an entry for Arch Linux (and comment all other menu entries):
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.icns
volume 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4
ostype Linux
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "rw root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 libata.force=noncq"
I verified that vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img exist and are in the /boot directory in my main arch partition (/dev/sda4).
Result: I get an Arch menu entry, but when I click on it I get this error message:
Starting vmlinuz-linux
Using load options 'rw root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 libata.force=noncq initrd=\boot\initramfs-linux.img'
Invalid loader file!
Error: Not Found while loading vmlinux-linux
I also tried these lines for volume, each in turn:
volume 4:
volume linuxmain
("linuxmain" is the partition label I gave the partition with cgdisk)
For completeness, `diskutil list` on the Mac gives me:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 124.6 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 18.3 GB disk0s4
5: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 107.2 GB disk0s5
Note that I've tried the above procedure both with the stock refind (refind-bin-0.8.0.zip) and the arch specific refind (refind-bin-gnuefi-0.8.0.zip). In all cases I made sure all the refind files were removed before re-installing. I've already spent a lot of time on this, and I'd really like to get Arch booting, so any help is greatly appreciated!

I had this problem myself which got me going round in circles for ages. The Arch Official rEFInd package contains v.0.7.9 (and is flagged out of date). Apparently there is an Arch specific problem with v.0.7.9 and the most recent (until today) v.0.8.0. The only way I could get it to work was to use the v.0.7.8 gnuefi binary from sourceforge. I've been in touch with the developer who has released v.0.8.1 today which he thinks fixed the bug, but I've yet to test it.... Let us know how you get on.
When the package gets updated I would hope for it to be built from gnuefi, not the tianocore EDK2010 as it is currently, nor even 2014 which all seems unduly burdonesome....

Bluetooth headphones don't work with Macbook pro Retina, but they do with iMac. Why???

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM MAKING ASSUMPTIONS. My issue, tech spec's and assumptions are listed below.
MY ISSUE:
My Rocketfish headphones work perfectly with my iMac but not with my Macbook Pro Retina.
The Macbook Pro does recognize the device but when I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:
"The device does not have the necessary services".
TECH SPEC
iMac has OS X 10.7.5
Macbook Pro Retina has OS X 10.8.2
MY ASSUMPTION
If I upgrade to 10.8.2 I will not be able to use the headphones.
Or
The new Macbook Pro's are only functional with bluetooth headphones that have certain specs.

4k Monitor with Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch?

Hey guys,
I recently obtained a Dell UP2414Q Monitor - it's the 4K monitor. I'd like to know if my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch from Mid 2012 can drive the montor becuase I heard that I can only use the monitor if I have Thunderbolt 2 or something.
Help?

There have been some reports of users with late 2013 MacBook Pros, with the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (with 2GB of VRAM), being able to use 4K monitors at 60MHz: but this doesn't apply to 2012 models, I'm afraid.
Sorry,
Clinton

Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

the green light on the mag safe turns on?
you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

Cannot play any online video with macbook pro retina Safari. (Youtube, youku, tudou, etc..)

Help!!!
I'm using Macbook Pro Retina, my version is ME866LLA
My Safari version is: 7.0.6
I installed the latest version's adobe flash. I'v tried reset settings for safari, and I also checked Security Settings ->Internet Plugins. I do believe all are correct.
But still I can't play any video from any online video websites(Like youtube, youku, tudou etc).
Like below screenshot, always loading, but never start playing. I even fixed the permissions for my disk, still didn't work.
Anybody can tell me what happened?? At the very beginning(when I first got this computer), I think this works, but don't know what happened. I have this issue for long time!!
Anybody can help me? Great thanks!!

Hi ..
You may be using HTML 5.
Click here > YouTube
Then click: Use the Default Player
If that doesn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure: Allow Plug-ins is selected.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

HT3964 noisey dvd drive when using with macbook pro retina?

I bought a new macbook pro retina 15" and used the apple external dvd drive to watch a movie and the drive was extremely loud and vibratory - to thr point of nearly not able to hear the movie. I then tried the same drive with the the same dvd with a macbook air and it did not have this issue. Anyone know how to solve the sound issue when using the dvd drive with a macbook pro retina 15"? Thank you.

Thank you - it is the DVD driver I purchased over a year ago with a Mac book air - I wondered whether they have since updated the DVD driver and therefore wondered about compatibility. I also wondered whether it had to do with the fact that I was on battery power when this happened any further thoughts appreciated.
