Macbook pro retina flicker

Same here. I have installed Mavericks and seems to have stopped.

My problem is when I go over the dock it shudders, when I scroll down on a web page it shudders, when I swipe between screens (homescreen to iTunes) it shudders and lags, it pretty much happens all over I uninstalled adobe because it only started happening after I updated but then it came back nothing seems to help I live over 350 miles from the closest apple store does anyone else have this problem?? I only use this computer for school all of my games are directly from the apple APP store I do not download from 3rd parties Ive tried repairing the disk, restarting the computer, switching to a different user all of these do nothing.. HELP!

I have absolutely isolated the flickering on my display to wifi interference of some sort. The flickering comes and goes...at times will be very frequent...and others rather infrequent. I'm assuming that this is because of how my router likes to jump around to different channels in auto mode. It's also possible that the dual band feature of the wifi I use causes interference.

One thing that is very certain is that when I turn my wifi off, the flickering stops.

I'm not sure what Apple is willing to do. For my situation, my computer is past the warranty period, but I'm currently out of the states and unable to bring to a genius bar.

I would like to think that Apple will stand behind a faulty design in their product and fix it regardless of the warranty period since this doesn't seem to be a hardware or software failure.

A little more troubleshooting...manually changing my wifi channel seems to help for a while at least. However, randomly, it will begin again. If I change the channel again it will subside for a while. This is definitely a wifi issue and on the 2.4GHz band. I don't believe the same issue is occuring on the 5GHz band, however I don't have the wifi range I need with the 5GHz.

This forum has been very helpful unfortunately it seems to only be a fix for the macbook air. Recently getting a new Macbook Pro Retina 15" i7 2ghz with 16gb ddr3 running the intel iris Pro 1024 MB graphics and an updated 10.9 STILL has this issues and it's beginning to be quite a bother at the office. Specifically I'm only using Photoshop Creative Cloud when it occurs. It's been significant at close zoom in's and with a brush between 6-15px.

Has apple sent any correspondence out about having this fixed for the retina mavericks using macbook pro's?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the direct thread where the macbook air's issues arose from.

Having similar problem since 10.7.

I think my MBPR has faulty GPU: When this problem happens, Photoshop layers starts glitching.

- MBP Retina 15" i7 2.6GHz (Mid 2012)

- OSX 10.9.1

- 16GB 1600MHz DDR3

- 512GB SSD

Unfortunatrly, in my case turning off Wi-fi or any kind of reset didn't help.

There are a lot of defective MacBook Pro Retinas. The most frequent problems are fried logic boards, fight GPUs and displays with image persistence. Instead of honoring the warranty Apple's response is often to deny the problem and elete posts discussing it. THey just recently deleted a 20 post thread where I was discussing with others that have multiple fried logic boards. I'm now on the 4th logic board and Apple refsues to replace the computer. I'm told taht in some US states they are required by law to buy it back for the full purchase price after so many failed repairs.

I also had the annoying flicker on my 13 pro retina. However, my flicker has stopped.

Knock wood, but my mackbook is fine fore nearly two solid months with zero flicker.

I dont know what caused it in first place, but I havent done anything with my mac, not even a restore. Some people say it the wires when closing the lid?? I wonder if thats what it was?

I have the same issue - Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2012, Samsung screen, Samsung SSD 256 GB), which appered recently (approx 1 week ago).

I noticed that it only happens while at home on 2.4GHz wifi. When I switch to 5 GHz, the issue disappears. The frequency of flickers is every 2-3 minutes and it might be dependent on network traffic, but I'm not sure.

I had the same flickering issue as described here, but only after I installed Windows 8.1 with boot camp. I changed my modem to channel 1 (from 8) and that seemed to have fixed the issue.

Also, the moment I switched channels I saw some really weird flickering on the screen for about two seconds.

I've lived with this problem since getting my Retina MBP 13" in 2012. I took it into the genius bar, they kept it and ran diagnostics, then returned it to me claiming they never saw the flicker. It happens irregularly but certainly multiple times over the course of every day. Not too happy with it. The wifi 'fix' is interesting and I will try it, but as there is no built-in ethernet jack, running without wifi isn't much of an option. Upgrading to Mavericks, for me, had no effect as some have reported.

Just hoping that one day Apple is forced to admit that this is an issue.

I too have had this flickering problem from about two months after I purchased my macbook pro 15 retina in mid 2012. I've tried multiple fixes people have come up with but none seem to work for me. I'm really upset as this is my first macbook and I as all of you have, spent a great deal of money hoping to get quality and reliability back in return. Come on apple, face the music and sort this problem out!

Another one witht he issue here. MBPr 15" with dGPU.

Not even had mine a week and I noticied it while I was syncing my PIcasa photos. The top quarter of the screen kept flashing black. Hasn't happened since and I have no way to test it or force it

I have also started having the same issue in December, 2013, about 13 months after I purchased my Macbook Pro 13in with retina display. I have all my software up to date and tried some of the simple fixes people have suggested. However, the problem persists. It is difficult to reproduce, and the folks at Apple Store do not know how to fix it. Mine does exacly the same thing as the ones in the youtube videos - intermittent flickering with horizontal lines across the entire screen.

I have noticed that it happens most frequently when I am downloading/installing updates from the App Store or using Facetime or Skype. However, it can also happen when I am browsing the web or working on Word documents. My screen flickers regardless of being on powersupply or on battery.

Does anyone know how we can report this issue to Apple so they will look into the problem systematically?

I just submitted a feedback at www.apple.com/feedback about this problem. Perhaps if more of us are giving Apple feedback on this issue, they will look into it and come up with a solution.
