  • Why does my mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina latptop shut down during software installation/updates?

    Whenever I attempt to update preexisting software apps or install new ones, my mid 2012 MacBook Pro w/ Retina display will shut down and reboot itself. Obviously this has gotten frustrating as several of my existing apps are woefully out of date.
    Any suggestions would be most helpful.

    Thanks for the assistance and sorry for the late reply, I'm overseas doing HA work and don't always have internet access.
    I tried utilizing the methods you mentioned and upon doing so I received the following message:
    So I followed this set of instructions and when verifying and repairing disk permissions the window stated that the partition was okay.
    After logging back in, I attempted to download a software update, sadly the system shut itself down and rebooted and I am still unable to install any updates for my out of date apps. I won't return to the States until June, I may have to wait until then to resolve this issue.
    Thank you again for your assistance.

  • My screen has marks made by the keyboard when closed. Possible design flaw (mid 2012 macbook pro retina)

    My screen has marks made by the keyboard when closed. I think is because possible desing flaw. Is a macbook pro retina mid 2012. Maybe the secreen is very close to the keyboard when close. It is a soft mark, but I´m sure it´s because the keyborad because is the same shape.
    Thank you

    Whether they replace just the screen, a subassembly, the whole top half of the computer, or the entire computer is entirely up to them, as is whether they replace with new or refurbished parts.
    I would make sure I had at least one full backup of everything on my computer before taking it in. Two would be even better. Even if they don't replace the entire computer, something could happen during installation and testing of new parts.
    Back when people really cared about the manufacturer of their screen (in the beginning of the Retina models, when one manufacturer had a bad run of screens), instructions for using Terminal commands to determine which you had circulated. I didn't bother to keep a copy of the one I used. A web search for "retina screen manufacturer" (without the quotes) should reveal as top hits several sites with very similar instructions.

  • Audio quality from mid 2012 macbook pro retina

    I am trying to clarify what would be the best quality audio I can get from a Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012 (2.3 Ghz). Is the 3.5 mm jack capable of digital output (what spec) otherwise the HDMI digital audio must be a go. What spec does that offer please, and is it possible to input that into an external DAC somehow.

  • Yosemite System crash mid 2012 Macbook pro retina

    Hi everyone ,
    I installed Yosemite from 0 .
    I have a macbook pro retina Mid 2012problem .
    After approx. 6 hours of use the sound is choppy , Blocking stays..you can move the mouse and keyboard sometimes answers but I can not touch anything in OSx and I have no one to turn it off .
    Prior to Mavericks had never happened to me and I'm pretty worried.
    I have done the Apple Hardware Test and tells me that everything is correct.
    and took about 15 days and yesterday I decided to install it from 0 and I just happened.
    You know that it may be due ?
    Thank you all in advance

  • No real LEFT klick on Touchpad with windows 7 / 8 on a mid 2012 Macbook Pro

    hello Apple-user.
    i installed bootcamp 5.1 on my macbook pro (mid 2012) for a Dualboot with Windows 7 or 8 (with both the same problem).
    Everything works under windows except for one Thing : the Mousepad.
    On the internet you can find thousands of amounts on the right button but non for the LEFT button.
    First Thing : i hate tapping!
    I will KLICK real on by the left / right Corner.
    With tapping work the left and right klick, but not with the real klick on the Corner.
    The right klick will work perfectly on the right Corner.
    The left klick will work only when i have one finger on the Touchpad so i Need 2! fingers to make a real left klick.
    Left klick with one finger only works by tapping.
    On OS-X all work fine so that you can be sure that the Hardware(touchpad) is ok.
    regards Andy

    Hello
    first, It was never about the right click, but only the left click.
    The right klick is ok!
    I think we are the problem so can not solve.
    As a last attempt, I have a youtube video
    It is ONLY the left klick with a Problem.
    http://youtu.be/XP6CoJBZEDM
    You can see the left klick works not with only 1 finger on the pad.
    But when i put a finger on the pad and try it again the left klick it works....
    Note also the noise in the Video.
    Tapping is no alternative!
    But it is not so bad, then the Macbook is just not used with windows.
    many greetings and thanks for your effort
    Andy

  • Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro

    I'm updating to a new 2014 macbook pro.  am i better off using a migration assistant from one to another, or restoring from Time Machine (with ethernet to thunderbolt adapter)?  Or some other method?
    thanks,
    ptkmac

    I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
    So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
    Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
    Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
    Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM).  Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done.  Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out.  Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version.  Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process?  Or ???
    This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition.  It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
    I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be.  Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue. 
    The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times).  Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine.  Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
    Sorry for the long ramble.  Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc.  Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions.  None of which I've done - yet.
    Take care all - and thank you again for  all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.

  • Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina logic board failure

    I have a mid-2012 MBP Retina, 256 flash, 16 gb RAM and after 14 months of casual use, the computer shut off one night and smelled like it was burning (it was in a well-ventilated place).  I took it in and the logic board had failed.  I paid the $310 to get it fixed and it's still having some issues with shut down.  After talking to two apple store representatives and discussing it on the phone with an another, their opinion is that these are prone to fail.  Has anyone else had similar issues and have they had luck with Apple getting these failure-prone components fixed?

    The $310 repair if done by an Authorized service technician should have had its own warranty.  Furthermore, if you can claim anything under the Exchange Repair program, you may want to see about this:
    http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
    In the future always buy AppleCare to protect against manufacturer defects up to three years from computer's purchase.
    That failure prone opinion is in part because users may not know how to treat the cables*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
    Given that is in the gray line between user neglect and manufacturer defect your mileage may vary on getting it repaired even under warranty.
    If you can prove that you know what you are doing, and calmly explain the situation you are more likely to get it repaired when under warranty.
    We are just end users here.  So we can't tell you what will or won't happen for sure, or guess Apple's policy.

  • Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina GT 650m lagging

    My Nvidia Geforce GT 650m has been acting up. When in use, it runs very slowly. The card is even slower than the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000. As an example, I was playing minecraft and i tried playing using each card. Using the 650m i was receiving approximately 15fps, but the HD 4000 was giving me about 35 fps. I have tried reseting the SMC and PRAM with no success. I have also run hardware diagnostics which did not recognize any errors. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Thanks for any help provided

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • My mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina display broke (cracked internally) just by cleaning it. Is the display really this sensitive?!

    My mother was using my laptop and meant well by cleaning off her finger prints (which stick pretty well to this display) afterwards. A thumb was pressed against the lower left corner wiping a microfiber cloth back and forth, while resting the other four fingers on the back to prevent the display from swiveling backward. We filed a claim on her insurance, but an appraisal done by a so called "specialist" came to the conclusion that the damage could not have possibly been caused by the above described act. Oh yeah, and this diagnosis was made solely from 2-3 images of the screen itself.

    All you can do is take it in and see what Apple says:

  • Crucial M4 128GB VS Samsung 840 120GB - Mid-2012 MacBook Pro

    I would like to put an SSD in my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro. As the tradition HDD is a real bottle neck the system. Space is not really an issue, but price is at the moment. It's between these two, Crucial M4 128GB VS Samsung 840 120GB, just to be used for everyday use, thoughts?

    I'm a huge Crucial fan - I have a 512GB Crucial m4 SSD series installed right now and am eagerly awaiting the shipment of the Crucial M500 960GB SSD. One thing that I love about Crucial is that you can accomplish firmware updates directly on your Mac - with Samsung, I believe, you have to use a Windows machine.
    Crucial SSDs are perfect for Macs - many of us around here have them.
    The only problem that I see that you may run into is getting the data from your hard drive (you don't say how much space you're using on it) to a 128GB SSD. If you're under 128GB on your HD then you can just clone your data and OS, etc., onto the new SSD. Or you can make a 'fresh' start and format the drive and install the OS and then begin the laborious task of adding your apps back.
    See my one and only user tip - Upgrading your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive - for some tips on transferring that data. I've always used Carbon Copy Cloner - but then I've always been moving to a SSD that was comparable in space to my 'old' HD.

  • Mid 2012 macbook pro glitching, freezing, overheating

    Starting a few weeks ago, I noticed a change in my mid 2012 macbook pro. My laptop was losing charge EXTREMELY quickly, I would charge the laptop to 100%, and just an hour later (after not using it, but the lid closed and it was sleeping) it would be up to 60% charge, then when not in sleep and on, it would lose energy extremely quickly. I always make sure that unecessary background apps are not running--so that was not the problem. This problem went away after a week, but it was the first signal that something was wrong with my laptop.
    Next, the laptop was having problems with waking up from sleep, I did an SMC reset and this problem was fixed.
    After that, the laptop started glitching (static and banded lines on the bottom of the screen) and making this clicking noise when I was streaming video fullscreen on Netflix. I thought at first, that this was a problem with Silverlight, and reinstalled the silverlight plugin (several times). Then I noticed that the computer would glitch when I was streaming full screen on Netflix and picked up the laptop (moved it from a flat surface). This signaled to me that the problem was perhaps not software, but a hardware issue. I verified the disk and did a permissions report and neither were curative.
    Further support that the problems are with hardware rather than hardware came to me when my computer presented itself with a fourth issue: the laptop, when being lifted or moved from a static surface, would sometimes freeze entirely and make the same clicking noise. This problem was not during fullscreen streaming, but had spread to when I was simply using more than one app at the same time (e.g. having Chrome and Word open together). When this happenend, the only solution would be to power down the computer and restart.
    Finally, while sleeping with the lid closed in my backpack, I hear a whirring noise--I pick up the laptop and it was hot to the touch, overheating with the fans running on high speed.
    I have no clue what is going on. I have taken the computer to my university's mac shop and they have suggested it is a logic board issue and I should give the computer in. I have scoured the forum for an answer of what is happening and am determined to find one. So I pose the problem to you--any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Memory(RAM) upgrade on a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro

    Hello Apple fans and users. My Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13" is a bit slow. It has 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz Ram and when I open more than 4-5 tabs in Safari it becomes really really slow. So that's what's bothering me and I have decided that I need to upgrade my RAM to more GB's. I have iStat app and it shows me that more 3/4ths of the RAM is being used when I have more than 4-5 tabs open in Safari and when my iTunes is playing a song.
    So Im from the Netherlands and what I found is this:  http://www.alternate.nl/Corsair/4-GB-DDR3-1333/html/product/922656?tk=7&lk=9331
    It even says MAC Memory. I find this good because it is supposed to be for a MAC, but my only concern is that my memory right now is 2x2GB 1600MHz, and the one that Im currently looking at(at the link) is only 1333MHz.
    Do you guys think this might be a problem or it is bad or is it going to be a NOT SO GOOD upgrade? Im not very good with computers but from what I know 1333MHz is less than 1600MHz...
    But I also found this -> http://www.alternate.nl/Kingston-ValueRAM/4GB-ECC-DDR3-1600/html/product/1118143 ?event=search
    and it is 1600MHz, DDR3, 4GB BUT I AM NOT Sure if it's gonna work on my laptop because it is a MAC.
    So what do you guys think? Which one should I get and why? Is there a difference between 1333MHz and 1600MHz? And what is it? How am I gonna feel the difference?

    As BobRz says, get the right speed, or you may have problems.
