Sound 'tick' on MacBook Pro Retina Display

Hi everybody,
i've just purchased the new MBPro Retina Display, and I noticed a strange 'tick' sound coming from the top right part of the mac. Have you ever noticed that too?
It's freaking me out, also because i'm paranoid that i have to change my new little boy =(
Please help me! The italian Apple support told me that i'm the first one reporting this thing, and this is not good in my opinion.

no, it's like when tha harddisk suddenly stops. But this should not be the case, as MBPro Retina has the ssd..
I tried to deselect the automatic switch of graphic board, but the tick is still there. If I could I'd do a registration of the noise, but it doesn't seem to be related to some action i make..

  • Clicking sound inside my Macbook pro Retina display.

    I did a scan and error 4MOT/4/40000002: right side -0 came up. What does that mean? Is it something i can fix myself or do i have to go into an apple store to get it fixed?

    apple store.  Your computer's fan motor has failed or a connection is loose.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display - Sound and video doesn't work at the same time.

    I just bought a macbook pro retina display and tried to watch a movie by connecting my macbook pro via hdmi to my home theater receiver (Onkyo TX-SR309) and into my HDTV (Sony Bravia 42"). My problem is, i don't get sound from the speakers connected to the receiver.
    When i disconnect the HDTV from the receiver (only the receiver is connected to the macbook pro), then sounds will comes out from the speaker.
    Can somebody help me to fix this problem?

    With the HDMI connected and the Onkyo powered on, open system preferences, go to the sound panel, and select the HDMI choice.

    If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it.  If not, try the steps in this support article:

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display hard crashes - not caused by Google Chrome

    Hi, all. This is my first time posting on these forums, and it is only due to the unsurpassed amount of frustration I have had with my mbpr. I received it in late August, and it worked great. Yes, I had the waking from sleep problem, but that got fixed in an update and didn't bother me too much. What did bother me was when I started installing my games.
    I play a ton of games, I have Steam, Diablo III (which Apple during their keynote said is compatible with the retina display resolution and worked with Apple on making it so), WoW and others. Anytime I play any game, it pretty much crashes and I have not been able to find a single solution.
    I have tried disabling graphics switching, installing 3rd party programs to disable graphics switching and uninstalling them again, using an external monitor and the built in retina display, verifying/repairing permissions, setting a cap on the FPS in a game as to not make my laptop hot at all (even crashed with a 30 FPS cap), re-installing OS X Mountain Lion from recovery, resetting the NVRAM...
    The computer just locks up, goes into a sound loop (like a record skipping very quickly), and becomes totally unresponsive to anything except a hard reset. On wake, it will always display "Your computer has shut down because of a problem, would you like to open the applications blah blah". Basically asking if I want to start where I left off. It never gives an option to send a report to Apple.
    Oh also, it can sometimes crash when it's just remotely warm? For example, when I was re-installing OS X ML from recovery the FIRST time (I did it twice), it crashed mid-installation!
    The funny thing is, I have windows 7 installed via Bootcamp. Whenever I play any games on that partition...100% fine. No problems, handles graphics beautifully. Using the OS for anything else such as watching videos, downloading music or movies, using any applications is fine. It just seems to be games (or a very small amount of heat? I'm not sure).
    Any suggestions? I'm completely stuck on finding any solutions. My experience with the Apple store has been awful in the past, and going to them with any problem is a last resort for me. In the past, I have been able to solve many problems on my own with enough googling and forum digging.
    This, after months, is still unsolvable for me. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
    15" MacBook Pro Retina Display, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 2.6 ghz i7.
    tl;dr: Macbook crashes everytime I play a game or when it gets warm, I'm not sure, help.

    Sorry that no one answered your question the first go-round - sometimes these things just slip by us.
    Most people would have probably just recommended taking your machine to your local Apple Store.
    Which is what you did - and all is well now, I'm assuming?

  • Flash movie in Safari in Macbook Pro Retina Display zooming issue

    Hello,
    On Macbook Pro Retina Display in Safari browser, zooming any flash application in browser does not work properly.
    I have made a YouTube video showing the problem in action:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1d1x8bpnA
    When I zoom in and out using two fingers pinch zooming does not go as expected - it is zooming into bits outside of the zoom area while the zooming is in the process.
    Please fix the issue.
    Thanks.

    P.S:
    I have also created an Adobe BugBase bug report here:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3323043

    Hi Steffen....!!
    The phenomenon which you just described is absolutely not common in the late 2013 retina macbook. Even I have the same model but I have never noticed such sounds neither during normal operations nor after tilting it.
    I am afraid, but it seems to be a hardware issue. Might be because the fan assembly has become loose due to which its touching the other parts.
    There is also a possibility  that some dirt or small piece of something might have gone inside the macbook through the air vents which may be interfering with the fan mechanism. I think so you can try to open the back cover of the macbook and see if something is interfering with the fans if your macbook is out of warranty. If its covered with Apple care, I suggest take it to Apple store and let them diagnose the issue.
    Hope this helps......

    My Macbook Pro Retina display heats up and makes a certain sea wave like noise. what could the issue be?

    You should have a backup in the first place. If you don't, buy an external drive (they're inexpensive these days) and make a Time Machine or a clone backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner).
    Then take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them diagnose the computer. See if they can isolate what may possibly be making the 'clicking' sound.

    When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display, a black screen show up while I hear the normal start up sound.  I noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?

    If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display freezes

    15" MacBook Pro Retina display has started to freeze, "flutter" and crash. After I power off, and try to power back on, there is a "beep" which sounds ominously similar to an "error" beep on a PC. Anyone else had this occur? MacBook is less than 9 months old.

    I never had this issue until now. My laptop was working alright, but I noticed ghosting, then I realized that it was overheating and on rare occasions it would freeze. But I never got a white screen saying: Your computer restarted because of an error
    neither did I before have this beeping and crashing. It all happened after they switched the motherboard..
    I am in Israel, and when I took my laptop in to change the motherboard they said it would take them 10 working days. I can't go without a laptop for that long, I'm a student, and I use my laptop for work as well... Aren't they supposed to give me a replacement or something for that time? I don't understand how the think to take so much money for a computer then not even provide a replacement computer, especially for such a high-end, professional piece of equipment..

  • Why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

    why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook pro retina display working slow

    Yesterday, I woke up the macbook pro from sleep mode and i had several apps opened.
    Then when i did the mission control it was working very slowly. All the gestures of the track pad were working slowly.
    Then after a while it started to freeze. So I restart the laptop, but the problem did not solved.
    Its working slow, and its been almost 15 days from the day i bought the laptop.
    I have a macbook pro retina display 15" 16gb ram and 512gb flash storage.
    Please Help me!!

    My retina MacBook Pro has had terrible graphics performance problems for a couple of weeks. I searched all over various forums and tried everything: resetting SCM, manually selecting discrete/integrated graphics card, deleting graphics kexts, etc. Nothing helped until I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19880198#19880198
    Now my rMBP has silky smooth graphics again!
    The directions in that post are a little hard to understand so I cleaned them up here:
    Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: /Library/Preferences/
    Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
    Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
    Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver   (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
    Step 3: Reset the PRAM
        (These instructions are from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Hopefully this helps others with bad graphics performance on retina MacBook Pros.
    For anyone that wants to check out the problematic plists from my rMBP, here are the files:

  • Brand new MacBook Pro Retina display wont come up at all.

    I got a brand new MacBook Pro retina display a week ago. Since yesterday, it won't come up at all. Screen stays blank, no HD sound, nothing. Does anyone else have same issue which they resolved already?

    I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
    This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.
    Thanks for you suggestion though. I will post an update ones this case gets resolved.

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.
