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.

Why does my macbook pro keep crashing/restarting while streaming the world cup?
I was watching this time for over an hour and all of a sudden (without other apps running or any action on my part) it crashed. I've done a disk utility repair and it's still happening. I need some help. Here's the last crash report:

com.apple.kec.pthread 1Thanks, that seemed to work. But now I've been having a new issue lately. I'm starting to think its hardware related, but either way I've had many crashes...some not always with a crash report. It seems my SMC is acting up at times, and other times the screen will glitch out and produce these pixelated horizontal bars and then crash. I just reinstalled OS X, I've run the usual diagnostics. I'm getting ready to run a Apple Hardware Test, but I figured I'd come to you for help first.
Here's the most recent crash that occurred (no horizontal bars this time), but it did crash and refuse to restart (it beeps the strange tone from what seems like a spot other than the speaker, that's how I came across the system management controller reset). Anyway, here's the report:

MacBook Pro with Retina display comes standard with 4GB of 1600MHz memory. Please note that the memory is built into the computer, so if you think you may need more memory in the future, it is important to upgrade at the time of purchase.

Why does my Macbook Pro Retina's battery drain so quickly?
Okay so I have Mavericks for my Macbook Pro retina ( I have been hesitant to update to Yosemite because I heard connecting to wifi takes longer and it slows down the laptop but at this point if it improves my laptop's battery life I might update anyway..). It is only about a year old I got it December of 2013. Lately I have been noticing that my laptop's battery has been draining so easily. It usually lasts about 4-5 hours (even thought ideally it would last about 7) but these days it has been lasting me barely 2 hours. How can I fix this? Will quitting applications like Google Chrome make it any better? Are there any apps or anything I can install that can help in extending my Mac's current battery life? Please, help. I really need my battery life to be way better than this :/
Thank you.There are a variety of reasons that will affect battery run time. Activity monitor may identify some culprits:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203184
Google Chrome and its various parts have had a history of compatibility issues with OSX and has often been a resource hog. I suggets deleting it. I use Firefox.
Here are a few Apple support articles, that may assist you:

Should you have any AV software or so called 'cleaning' or 'performance' applications, they are also detrimental to MBP operation and that may be relected in battery run time.

Why does my Mac Pro turn completely off while in the sleep mode?
Why does my Mac Pro turn off completley overnight when I had placed it in the sleep mode?
A power fluctuation may also shut your computer off from sleep mode.
Is there anything in the System Log overnight?

Why does my MacBook Pro Retina screen display pixilated graphics when using the finder?
While this started just after the latest OS X update, each time I use the finder now to locate a graphic to upload, the graphic appears extremely pixelated. It does not matter which application I use to search and upload a graphic file, the graphic appears smaller and bleeds out. I just purchased the new Video Motion Pro video editing software, and every single graphic I upload to this application is pixelated. Has anyone else had any problems with their retina display after the last update?
Here are some examples of hi resolution graphics that now appear pixelated on my Retina screen:

If anyone is aware of an application or Apple software test that allows me to check my graphic card and retina display, please advise. I have performed multiple disk utility checks, restarts, etc., but nothing seems to help.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!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. -
Why does my macbook pro retina take 30 seconds for me to use it when i open the lid?
For some reason it takes my macbook like 30 seconds for me to use it when i open the lid. I cant move the mouse or anything until like 30 seconds go by is that normal or something wrong? Its the new macbook retina display and never had this problem when i first got it.
Are you running any applications when you open the lid, specifically any applications that are heavy on GPU usage such as iMovie or Photoshop?

Why does my MacBook Pro fan go into overdrive when the laptop is not even warm?
The fan on my MacBook Pro is going into overdrive without any form of heat coming from the laptop. It causes the computer to be really slow as though there's a delay on the cursor, then makes it crash. It also disconnects me from the internet and won't reconnect without a restart. Had this trouble for a few months but it stopped for roughly four months without giving any clue as to what I had done to stop it, but has now restarted again out of nowhere.
I have tried an SMC reset countless times and it makes no difference. Operating system is up to date.Either on Microsoft word or on FB and maybe some online editiing.. I have installed Istat and waiting for it to occur again so i can measure the heat and CPU usage.. any idea as to why this is happening??

Why does my MacBook pro keep beeping 3 times. The screen is frozen.
Like my MacBook Pro keeps beeping 3 times and pausing for 2 seconds. The screen is frozen. How do I fix this and what is going on?
That is a RAM issue, do you have any spare ram you can swap to confirm? Possible causes:
a ram module going bad
installation of incompatible ram
your ram may have become dislodged
I would suggest:
- removing all ram from your MBP, and reinstall it to see if that helps.
- if you recently installed new ram, remove it, then restart the computer with the old ram to see if this helps. -
Why does my MacBook Pro retina running 10.8.2 freeze upon wake?
This has happened at least twice: upon being awakened, the backlight of my MBP retina is on (the Apple logo is visible, but nothing is displayed on the LCD), the cursor is spinning but won't move, and touching the keyboard keys results in a system beep. The only solution is to hold down the keyboard power button.
Other freezes are occurring as well. There's no apparent disk directory damage as of yet (according to Disk Utility). I've ran Apple Hardware Test in loop mode just now (60 times), but it found nothing. Also has my local Apple Store run diagnostics overnight a few weeks ago, and nothing was found.
The only other variable I can think of is that once a day, I disconnect the MBP-r from a 27" Apple Cinema Display (display port model, not Thunderbolt) before going to work and reconnect it when returning home. Today the freeze happened when I reconnected the MBP, but the first freeze happened while at work.
Since I know that some are using Mountain Lion trouble-free (even MBP-r models), could these freezes the result of an interaction between hardware and software (i.e. a bug), or is are they the result of a problem with my user account?Hello:
If your computer is in warranty, I would take it into an Apple store for diagnosis. What you describe should not happen.

Why does my MacBook Pro keep shutting off while I'm using it with full battery?
My Battery is 100% full and it keeps shutting off randomly, how can I fix this?
This is something you should log. Whenever your machine shuts off randomly, make a note of the time and what you were doing on your machine at the time. You may find that the shut downs aren't random at all. I had a similar problem with "random" shutdowns, and discovered that there was a power supply issue.
Please post here with your results. -
Photos on sites are blurry on the Macbook Pro Retina Display?
I just got a Macbook Pro Retina Display and while browsing I noticed that logos and photos on sites looked blurry. this is something that really bothers me in the fact that I'm a design and photography student.. i dont know if i should return it and get the old macbook pro or what...
Give the world time. Resolutions above 2560x1600 are only meant for the 30" cinema display I am using right now, and the rest of the world does not have resolution suited for displays above 200ppi below 30". But, you are a photographer, so am I, and the Retina Display is beautiful at high res content including DSLRs and film scans.

Hi folks! Macbook Pro Retina Display burns
Hi folks, I don't really know if this is normal, but my Macbook Pro Retina Display litteraly burns at the top of it, quite sure there is the battery. What I can't get is why is it so hot!!
I've been looking into the web for any cooling station that will help me out with it, but can't find any related or at least supported by Apple. As far as I know there are any!!
Have you got any idea about where to look for?
I will really appretiate any kind of help!!!!
Cheers!!they do get very hot in the area between the top of the keyboard/bottom of screen
if the keys are hot that they are uncomfortable to use then i would concede there is an issue
are the fans running properly? if it's that hot they should be turning on -
Installing indesign 4 on a macbook Pro Retina Display
I am trying to install InDesign on a MacBook Pro retina display running Maverick, but the Adobe Creative Suite 4 show all the applications to install EXCEPT InDesign.
Any Ideas how I can get the program on my newer Mac?CS4 is unsupported under Mavericks and your applications, if you can get them installed and running, are likely to look horrible on that retina display.
