Sound Problems On My MacBook Pro (Retina)

Mysteriously, my computer started to sound very strange when playing anything sound related (See video below). Sounds like a warped "boing boing" sound throughout the music I'm playing through YouTube (it even happens in my itunes). Super hilarious, but concerning nonetheless!

Any thoughts other than software malfunctioning?? Whole system is updated, even restarted the comp, but no change

Hi Richard, I had similar problem as yours. There seems to be a problem with the intel 4000 graphic card. Try switching to NVIDIA graphic card. Just go to 'Energy Saver' in 'System Preference', and switch off the 'Automatic graphics switching'. Let me know if this solved your problems.

Sounds in the display - Macbook pro Retina 15"

I had a problem on Macbook pro retina 15 "after 7 months of use. If you gently shake the laptop horizontally, then something starts to hang out in the display. If you press on the screen and shake - sound disappears! What could it be?? Tell me please.

Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

Keyboard problems on a Macbook Pro Retina 15 Inch

Here's a new one for the absolute Geniuses out there.
I recently had a battery repair on my Macbook Pro Retina Display, which was successful. After using my computer normally for another week, my keyboard has become ill.
My RIGHT SHIFT key doesn't work at all, nor do the F1 through to F9 keys.
As I was told by the Genius who repaired my laptop the first time, this laptop has been extremely well looked after. It has no dents whatsoever, has never been dropped, is always used on a hard, level surface for the sake of heat distribution and is just generally well cared for.
I can't really track down any similar issues on the entire Internet. The fact that surrounding keys work as normal seems weird, and the backlighting is A OK as well.
If you people can fix this one, I'll be extremely impressed. I'm assuming I'm going to be taking my second trip to the Genius Bar in as many weeks though. Please prove me wrong, or maybe a switch back to Windows is in order... (*shudders*)

Take it to the genious. Tell them exactly what happened, that you had it working fine, battery replaced, now the keyboard has an issue. Be polite but firm that you want them to look at it no charge considering that the problem began AFTER the battery replacement.

HT1338 cannot connect Bose Sound Link speakers to macbook pro retina

I'm trying to use my Bose Sound Link Bluetooth speaker with my Mac Book Pro Retina. Bluetooth says linked, but will not connect.
Bose Web site says consult Mac documentation and try again.

Look what I found in another post. It worked!

Re: I am having problems pairing my Bose soundlink with my macbook pro
Apr 21, 2012 9:06 PM (in response to Jrex1959)
I talked with a Bose rep about problems pairing with Lion, and got this answer, which has since worked every time.
1. Turn on the Bose
2. Tap the Bluetooth button the Bose (not holding it for 3 seconds), and it should start a slow blink.
3. On your computer, click on the Bluetooth icon, hover over the Bose Soundlink name, and select that you'd like to "Use As Audio Device"
4. Press Play on whatever audio or video you're trying to listen to. It will take a second, but should connect.
It has also worked when I've tried to switch from pairing with my iPhone to pairing with my laptop...in that case, hold the Bluetooth button for 3 seconds on the Bose to make it discoverable, and then go through the same steps. The Bose rep also said they're hoping to have software update, but that it involves getting Apple's help, so he's not sure when it will happen.
Good Luck!

Does anybody have problems with the Macbook Pro Retina 15' fans being really loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris?

Hey guys,
So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
Thanks!

Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

Problems with screen macbook pro retina

Hi
I've got a bif big problem. When I started my computer theis morning, the welcoming apple logo was pink. It resumed to its normal self moments later. This is a problem with the graphic card i'm afraid.
I've never had any problem like this.
All I know is that yesterday evening I installed OSX 10.9.3. I did not start the computer again since then. This might also be the issue.
I noticed the update is about improving 4K display support on Mac Pro (Late 2013) and Macbook Pro with 15-inch Retina (Late 2013)
My macbook is an early 2013 model.
Anyone else noticed something wrong with the 10.9.3 update?
Help! I don't want to buy a new logic board! My computer is just over one year old and has just ran out of warrenty.

I'm glad i'm not the only one to have this issue since 10.9.3!
You HAD the problem? Did you find a way round it?
I didn't do any clone of my mac before the update, i didn't know this udate would do such a mess!
I have on the other hand a Time machine backup, I think I will try Carbon Copy Cloner.
This software builds a "bootable" disk with your old backup, so you can just boot from it without necessarily restore from it. http://macintoshhowto.com/repair/back-up-computer.html
I've only got one question: What about the drivers (which seems to cause the problem)? Are they on the hard drive?
My graphic card is going berserk. The temperature is about 63°C! Normally it's down to about 40.

I see my photos but they disappear, I think is a internal problem, I use Macbook pro retina, and the las version 9.5.1

I can see my photos but they disappear, I think is a internal software problem, Iphoto version is 9.5.1

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Macbook Pro Retina - Your computer restarted because of a problem

Hi there,
I've recently experienced problems with my Macbook Pro Retina(A1398) with freezes. It's very often and randomly freezing and it gets hot on the top of the back in the middle. When I start it up it freeze again at the spinning wheel, but I can use hotkeys to login and stuff, but the screen stays on spinning wheel I can hear sounds, when I click aswell and adjust the brightness on screen and key-light.
I got this message on latest freeze - I force shutdown the computer when it is frozen.
Should I turn it in a genius apple store or is it software related?
Best Regards,
Michael

Heating problem Macbook Pro retina 13 late 2013

I'm having problems with my Macbook Pro retina 13".
I'ts a refurb one.
Can anyone tell me what is normal temperature of CPU on this model, because, it's my first Mac.
When is on my legs, not a flat surface, it gets hot. I'm surfing on the web, and programming in Netbeans, and the temerature of my CPU is about 81 degrees, and it gets pretty how down there, so I wanted to ask someone who has one, is that normal for all MBR or mine is damaged?
Sorry for my English if it's bad, 'cause I'm not from USA...

mareyu,
I'm running at exactly 64ºC right now, too fans are at 5189RPM, but I am running Windows via Parallels and just finished a big scanning job on the Windows side, so you're really not too far out of 'normal' range - Chrome does consume more CPU power as well as tasking GPU when watching videos on YouTube. So I would say that you're normal just now.
If you're worried about the heat being generated you should take your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP and have them check it out - there's no charge for a diagnosis.
Also make certain that you don't put the machine actually in your lap or on any pillows, blankets or other cloth surfaces as your MacBook Pro is not a laptop and having it surrounded by cushions and the like can clog the vents.
As I said, if you're worried about the heat, let an Apple tech check your machine - bur from what you're observing, I would say that it's just normal heat (especially when watching YouTube videos using Chrome!).
Good luck,
Clinton
P.S. In the time it took to write this, my temps are down and fans are at 3548rpms. I'm sure that once you stop watching videos, your machine will cool down, too.

Problems between Macbook pro retina and CS6

Hi, the problems with the macbook pro retina and CS6 are solved? problems with the pixelated interface in PS, InDesign, Illustrator...
Thanks

Photoshop and Illustrator with their latest patches are compatible with retinal displays. InDesign CS6 is not and never will be compatible. You'll need CC for that.

Hello, i have a Problem. My MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 disconnect 4-5 per Day the mouse per bluetooth. The batteries are new. What is it?

Hello ThEoNeGeN,
It can certainly get frustrating when a Bluetooth device repeatedly disconnects. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article for an issue like the one you described:

Macbook pro (retina) wont boot - can't get to recovery

I'm having a bizarre problem with my Macbook pro retina 15".
I was using bootcamp/booted into windows and playing Star wars the old republic when the machine suddenly froze, then the display started going into lots of squares of multiple colours.
When I try to boot in to OSX it freezes after the apple logo and the small cirle stops. If I try get to the recovery by pressing cmd + r the same thing happens. I've also tried using the internet recovery option, the same thing happens after it connects to my wifi etc.
If I press alt during bootup to get to the different drives to boot from, the icons (i.e. OSX or bootcamp) are displayed but are slightly brown and look a bit distorted. If I select bootcamp and try to boot into windows the squares/distorted screen issue starts again.
I have also tried booting from a mountain lion install usb i made - same probelm as above: freezes after apple logo.
I've also tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM or whatever its called.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try as I can't call Apple care til Monday now?
Thanks

Nope. Your only option is to take it to an Apple Genius Bar as your system is FUBAR. More then likely a hardware problem from over heating.

NVIDIA issue on MacBook Pro retina 15 (bootcamp)

hello guys! merry christmas everybody
i have such problem: i bought MacBook Pro retina 15, when i came home i installed windows 7 thru bootcamp, after that i decided to check how many points of perfomance do i have, (in windows you can see that in computer - system properties) and i was 7.2
my games worked amazing on highest level of perfomance, i didn't see such performance anywhere.
10 days later i decided to play, and when the game started it was so bad, everythings hanged very much!! i decided to see what happend to my system and i saw this
and i can't do anything! i returned my mac to the store where i have bought it and they gave me a new one, but after 10 days the same thing happend to a new one. i don't think that it brokes maybe it's some problem which can be solved? maybe i can change something in stting or via terminal? as i think something wrong with nvidia card, seems like mac doesn't change video cards from intel to nvidia when a hard programm is started
help me please!!

The Retina models are full of flaws. You have found one of them. For some reason the discrete graphic card is being shut off in Windows and you are now using the built in Intel HD Graphics 4000. Why I have no idea.

Dominating Macbook pro Retina 10.9

I have some serious problems with my Macbook Pro Retina 10.9:
I am sharing office with 4 pc users.
After having been away for some weeks I came back a couple of days ago, and had a little problems getting to the internet. I checked cables, but after some minutes the problem seemed solved.
Then the drama started. My colleagues are working on a remote desktop, and after my little trouble they experienced a very slow speed – My Mac dominated our access to the internet.
What happened?
Here is the status of my Mac:

That link is only for users who are already using OS X Mavericks.
All Late 2013 MacBooks Pro with Retina display come with OS X Mavericks (OS X Mountain Lion is not supported), so if you are using OS X Mountain Lion, you have got a Mid 2012 or Early 2013 MacBook Pro. As you have not got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, you do not need the update you listed.

(I heard you can't download from the App Store if you're on a late 2013 MBP with retina display.
(the terms "update" and "upgrade" seem to mean different things to different people - is moving from 10.8.6 to 10.9.1 an upgrade or an update or is it both the same?)
It's true. You cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store on a Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display because the available version is not compatible. However, if you are using Mountain Lion, you have not got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
Then, note that OS X 10.8.6 does not exist. The process to move from OS X Mountain Lion to Mavericks is an upgrade, because it's a new operating system. An update refers to a bug fix release or small features release, for example.
You do not need to run Disk Warrior before upgrading. Instead, you can verify that your hard drive is OK with Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). Also, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Macbook Pro Retina doesn't see internal SSD drive

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Macbook Pro Retina 13(late 2012). Yesterday I've done clean install of Yosemite. Everything worked fine, and I wanted to restore my files using Time Machine. So I restarted it (command +R), plugged in my extertal hard drive, turned on TM restore option and chose my SSD drive as a place to install. Mac asked me to enter password for the SSD (default filevault2 in yosemite), I entered the password, system accepted it and then something went wrong. System told me to restart mac and try again. I restarted it, and did like previous but this time, my mac stopped to see his internal SSD drive. System was asking where to install yosemite form Time Machine and there were no drive to choose. I turned on disc utility, and I see my SSD drive there but I can't erase it, or unlock (picture in appendage). I can only verify disc and it shows that drive is fine. I've tried to install Yosemite on my external drive and boot from there,to unlock SSD in settings(I've chose my Ex. drive as a place to install Yosemite) but it didn't work. I even tried internet recovery (command+option+R) but I didn't help, SSD drive was still useless.
I think my SSD is still locked, but I don't know how to unlock it now. I don't need to use Time Machine anymore(I have my files in other drive too). It can be clean install but please, can somebody tell me what to do? I have exams this week and really need a computer :<

Start your mac up by holding the alt key. That is boot from function.
If its empty then you might have a hard drive issue. Due to your hard drive being picked up but not the partition on the drive. This will most probably be a OS X reinstall.
Erase the drive and reinstall the OS X or run a recovery mode.
Good luck
