  • Issues with restoring a Time Machine backup onto new Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've been trying to restore a Time Machine backup made today from my old Macbook Pro laptop. I didn't restore from the first start up (foolishly, seemingly) simply because of the trivial reason of wanting to see the system all clean and new.
    I've tried the Migration Assistant but it gets stuck on "looking for source..", despite having the ex.HD plugged in and double checking the existance of the backup itself on the ex.HD.
    I've also tried booting the laptop up in the 'restore' mode (cmd R) and restoring from there but it sends me in a constant loop of 'this backup was from a previous model of laptop' or something to that affect. It also doesn't display the recent backups at all, only displaying those from the beginning of this year for some reason. All backups are in the same place on the ex.HD so its not an issue with locating the backups.
    Really stuck on this one! Would really appreciate some help!
    Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

    Yes, you can restore to another machine if needs be.

  • New Macbook Pro Retina continually re-starting when lid is closed - Kernal Panic included

    Hello,
    I called 800-MYAPPLE for tech support but they were not able to help me at all, hoping someone here can help.  My new MacBook Pro Retina has been continually re-starting when the lid is closed.  It does not happen every time, may 20% of the time.  I am running Windows 8 on Boot Camp if that piece of information is important.  Here is the latest kernal panic from the log:

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

  • 4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage

    Hello,
       I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input?   Thanks!!
    P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.

    No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record.  In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
    A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

    The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support.  The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
    I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section.  I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.
    Ciao.

  • 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.

  • New Macbook Pro Retina - Keeps freezing...

    Picked up the brand new Macbook Pro Retina on Tuesday. Great piece of kit, however I have found the system has frozen a couple of times now meaning I have to reboot by holding down the power key.
    Any advice? Obviously not what I would expect from a £1250 laptop after two days...

    Seriously Apple, you make us pay so much money for a "great" product, yet all we are faced with are issues. Please fix this, or a lot of Apple enthusiasts, will start leaving.

    Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

  • New MacBook Pro Retina Display

    Why Apple doesn't support their new MacBook Pro Retina Display with DVD-Room (Superdrive)?

    There is no reason for people to wag around a superdrive all day. Most people never use it anymore.
    Well that is simply not true.  Everyone I know who uses a laptop still burns CD's and DVD's.  Especially if they use their laptops for any kind of work besides downloading movies and music from iTunes or uploading their iphone pictures to facebook.  At my job, and at a lot of jobs, documents, video and other media are still exchanged by portable media. The cloud is not yet at a place that there is across the board use of it and there are also security and technical issues when exchanging information in adversarial situations. That are more easily handled by sending a disk.  Unless your computer is nothing more than a toy for you, there will be a need to be able to produce portable media for a long time to come. However,  with the portable drive add on, it's not a must to have it built-in and you maybe even be able to find a better drive for burning stuff than apples so a portable situation can be a plus.

  • My new Macbook Pro Retina 15 wifi is terrible

    I got a new macbook pro retina 15 last week, and the wifi stops working intermittently and i have to power refresh it each time it goes off. I know many are facing the issue with the new mbp retina.
    Is there a proper fix from apple for this wifi issue yet??

    From most of the posts that I've seen here describing the same problem, it seems as if the problem is more prevelant when Bluetooth is turned on.
    Do you have Bluetooth turned on?

  • 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.

  • Why is my new macbook pro retina kinda choppy when scrolling safari/etc.?

    why is it that the new macbook pro retina I bought doesn't seem to be scrolling as smoothly as you would think?  Scrolling in safari seems just a bit laggy.  Is this a software issue?  It does this both with the hd400 and 650m.  Hopefully this is a software issue and not the GPU strugging to drive the massive resolution of this display.  I have the 2.6ghz/ mid level config.

    Which resolution are you on?
    I notice when scaled to say 1920x1200, the whole system becomes slightly more laggy, not just Safari. But I think that's because there's also a screen smoothing process just before the images gets shown onscreen otherwise everything would be chunky and jagged.
    I'm on unscaled 2880x1440 retina mode and Safari is super smooth scrolling... not sure whats going on with your computer.
    Do you have any junk apps or processes running in the background by any chance?
    My MBPR is the baseline model with only 8GB ram, OS X 10.8.1 and Safari 6.0 8536.25.

  • My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

    My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
    Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

    Well I fixed my problem.
    I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
    The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
    Problem solved.
    BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
    Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.

  • Should I "restore" a new macbook pro retina from a time machine backup of old mackbook pro?

    I'm considering buying a new Macbook Pro Retina. 15".
    Now I'm using a 2007 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MBP 15" running Lion.  It works fine most of the time. Occasionally an application will freeze and I need to force quit.
    It seems like the most convenient option would be to restore the new machine from the last Time Machine backup of the old. The benefit is that I'd feel confident that all of my stuff is on the new machine. The downside is that maybe glitches that had developed in the current system over the ~5 years would be transferred over to the new machine.
    Or I could make a fresh start with the new machine and invest the time needed to transfer over the iPhoto, iTunes libraries and Documents folder and reinstall all the third party applications. I have an external optical drive to use the installation disks where necessary. The benefit would seem to be that any glitches that had developed in the old system might be avoided. The downside is that this would take a very long time.
    What's the recommened method of migrating from an old machine to a new one?

    Instead of a restore from Time Machine, I would suggest that you use Setup Assitant that comes up the first time you start the new Mac.
    Connect the TM drive to the new Mac before you power it up
    Then when the new Mac asks if you wish to recover from an older Mac say yes
    Then select from Time Machine
    This will keep everything in the system for the new hardware and bring over everything else.
