MacBook Pro :: 2012 Retina Screen Getting Scrambled?

Sep 4, 2014

I've been using my MacBook Pro 2012 Retina with an external monitor lately with the lid closed. Today I tried open the lid without having the external monitor connected and that worked fine for a few minutes. But then the screen got "scrambled".... It's hard to explain but it seems that some pixels are dragged vertically. See attached image. Doesn't seem to stop doing this. If I restart the computer it might look OK for a few seconds, but then it will start looking like this again. If I shut down the computer and wait a while until I turn it back on, it will stay OK longer, but will eventually start getting "scrambled" again. 

Just as I was writing this question, using my external monitor, the scramble effect stopped and my MacBook screen returned to normal. Not sure how long it's going to last and I would still like to know more about this. 

My MacBook is also really hot right above the F3-F7 keys.

MacBook Pro :: Wifi Very Slow On 2012 Retina?

Jul 4, 2012

i just got my 2012 Retina MBP and i absolutely love it. there's one problem though. wifi is EXTREMELY slow.

we have a campus-wide 802.11n network, all my other devices work flawlessly.

can i somehow force my MBP NOT to use the 5 GHz band but to stay at 2.4 GHz? I believe i somewhere read that this could fix the problem. ethernet via thunderbolt works as supposed.

MacBook Pro :: Retina Mid 2012 - Powers Off While Sleeping

Aug 29, 2014

I have a recently-purchased MBP Retina 15 inch from Mid 2012. 

Every time that I put my laptop laptop to sleep while it is on battery, it sleeps fine for about an hour.  After an hour or so, I hear the boot sound come from the laptop.  When I open the screen at that point, the laptop is powered off.  I have to power up the laptop.  The laptop is not in hibernate mode, but has actually shut down (pressing other keys on the keyboard doesn't wake it up, I have to use the power button).   

Applications start back up when I log in, however for example VMWare has rudely powered off (so I lose the state of my virtual machines), and any terminal programs that I was running (even if I just had a document open in 'vi') are also terminated. 

I wonder, what causes this behavior?  Is my system defective in some way, or is there an OS tweak in Mavericks to stop the computer from rudely powering off/force quitting all open apps in the process? 

I've read that OS X now likes to hibernate laptops after an hour, but clearly hibernation isn't what's happening here.

MacBook Pro :: 2012 With Retina Display Won't Recognize External Hard Drive

Jun 20, 2012

I have 2 Macbook Pro's, a 2009 and this brand new one I got today. My external hard drive is a 1 TB clickfree. It has worked for months on my old Mac but when I plug it into my new mac it doesn't even show up in finder or disk utility. I tried the USB ports with another device and they work fine. So it isn't a hard ware issue. The cables are USB 3.0. The external hard drive model number is HD2037N3.I have tried taking everything off (huge pain) and reformatting the drive and still it doesn't recognize it! how I can get my Mac to recognize it?

MacBook Pro :: Retina (Mid 2012) Display Doesn't Work Occasionally / Random Restarts

Sep 4, 2014

I have some issue with my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina. The screen intermittently decides to just not work. Sometimes on startup i hear the start up noise but the screen doesn't turn on. I am able to remote into the computer when the screen doesn't work. I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason as to when it works and when it doesn't. I've reset the PRAM and SMC sometimes that will bring the screen back sometimes not.

MacBook Pro :: Safari Top Sites Looks Scrambled

Dec 4, 2010

I just got the new 15" mbp and noticed that safari top sites would scramble itself at times. I've looked around the net and seems like a normal occurrence for people with the new MBP's. My question is, what is causing it? And how do you get rid of it? Is it just a matter of turning off "automatic graphic switching" so it's running on the discrete nvidia card? Is it a software issue with flash or safari?

MacBook Pro :: How Do Softwares That Aren't Retina Compatible Look On Retina Display

Jun 12, 2012

How do software that aren't retina compatible yet look on the MBP Retina Display? From my own experience as a developer when using regular sized images and resolutions on the iPhone 4, they come out as blurry. I was thinking perhaps the same thing will occur if the software isn't retina compatible? I e 2x in GUI size and scaled down?

Defective Screen Or Graphics Card On New Macbook Pro Retina?

Jun 18, 2012

I just got my macbook pro retina 2.6 with 16 gigs of ram. It was working great for the first 40 minutes then on the left side of the screen two inches went black, then the screen went fuzzy then cleared up. I reinstalled the OS just to be on the safe side and sure enough it happened again. Called support and they told me DOA, however they can't do anything because apple support systems are down! Check out the photos of my screen. It will clear up if I don't use it for a few minutes which makes me think it is the graphics card. Hope this isn't a displaygate for apple all this money and I get a DOA - whatever happened to QA?

MacBook Pro :: 15" Retina Screen Flickering While On WiFi?

Sep 12, 2014

On my home wifi the screen flickers on my MBP. It looks like the top bar flashes irratically in the middle of the screen. There are no other issues and works fine otherwise. Just annoying that I can read or see anything...I will attach a video later. Right after I turn off the WiFi it goes back to normal. And of course my warranty expired, so I'm trying to find a solution to this before I spend $350 more on fixing this $2000 machine.

MacBook Pro :: Retina - Defective Screen (white Pressure Mark)?

Jul 2, 2012

After waiting 3-4 weeks I was so excited to finally receive my retina macbook pro today. To my dissapointment as soon as I turned it on this glaring white light/cloudy mark behind the screen stabbed me in the heart. So dissapointing to wait so long just to get a defective unit. 

I called AppleCare and they said I could either ship it back for a refund, or I could take it into the apple store for a refund. Apple store is only 30 minutes away so instead of putting any trust in fedex I decided to just go return it in person. 

So now I'm waiting up to five days for the money to be refunded so I can order again and wait ANOTHER 3-4 weeks to receive a unit because I upgraded the base model to 16GB of ram, and it may have the same exact problem when it arrives... who even know...  

I saw on macrumors a few others have had this issue so I'm not alone, but I do hate that I was unlucky this time around.  [URL]

MacBook :: Retina Won't Boot Past Grey Screen With Logo?

Nov 30, 2014

My computer died last night with each application not responding. I couldn't shut down normally so I held the power button to turn it off. 

Next morning, I tried to boot the MacBook Pro and the boot process stalled at the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel. I let it go for an hour and there was no change on the screen. Based on Apple's desk I ran Hardware diagnostics (extended with looping disabled) and got the following error 

4HDD/11/40000000: SATA (0,0)  

The screen shot is below 

I ran this again with standard testing (no looping) and standard with looping and all gave the same results.

MacBook Pro :: 15 Inch Retina - Horizontal Lines In The Middle And Bottom Of Screen

Dec 6, 2014

I have a 2 month old rMBP Mid 2014 and i am experiencing horizontal lines in the middle and bottom of the screen. For example, If i was browsing a site and then close the window you can still see parts of the website in the middle of the screen. I took the laptop in for the technicians to have a look and they a blaming it on the software,claiming that Gfxcardstatus is causing the problem. The problem still persists even with gfxcardstatus turned off. Does Gfxcardstatus do this? Is it the Lcd or gpu failure? Take a look at the photos ....

MacBook Pro :: Failure Mode During Reboot Or Wakeup Laptop Retina Display / Screen Does Not Work

Aug 21, 2014

my mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina laptop is having Retina screen problems at startup, bootup and wakeup modes.  The main failure mode is, during reboot or wakeup the laptop's Retina display screen does not work, a blank Retina screen results, and the keyboard does not light up.  Also, at random times the laptop will just crash and self reboot, but then during reboot the Retina screen does not work but the computer reboots.  Additionally, this laptop, compared to my work's PC laptops is lightly used, mostly for web browsing, photo viewing and email. At first this problem was only intermittent, but now the Retina displace screen failure mode has become a chronic repeating failure mode and is happening almost everyday and stays in this Retina display failure mode for a longer period of time.  Additionally, this 2012 Macbook Pro Retina laptop had a failed graphics card within its first 4 months of light use, the failed graphics card had to be replaced.

OS X :: Diablo To LOD Scrambled Graphics

Dec 26, 2007

I have been trying to load Diablo II on a new 20" iMac with OS X v 10.5.1. I have attempted to load it a number of times, downloaded the patches and tried the "native" installer. The game appears to load properly; however, when we try to start the game it runs through the initial graphics (ads) and then shows a scrambled diablo page (looks like large square puzzle pieces placed in the wrong positions on the screen) and you can only escape to end the game form that point.

Applications :: Images Fragment / Scrambled - Google Earth

Sep 7, 2007

I have searched the threads for an answer, but found none for my issue. I downloaded the new Google Earth app to our new iMac (20", 2.4Gz, 2Gb). It started up fine and looked OK at first. As I zoomed in, the images began to fragment and scramble. The closer I go, the worse it gets. I tried adjusting settings and preferences in both the app and on the iMac. Nothing seemed to work. Any ideas? Oh, it was the latest version, 4.2 something, with the sky images.
