Jan 27, 2014 10:54 AM in response to Brownian_by johnnykc,Did you have any solution to this. I also have a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina. Installed Mavericks about after it came out and over the past number of weeks I have had freezes - never happened before. Am assuming this must be a software issue? Thought about trying to reinstall Mavericks as a potential solution?

Feb 4, 2014 11:06 AM in response to johnnykcby diatheke00,I am having to force shut down my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina (15') almost everyday. What is the deal with it freezing up? I have Mavericks OS X 10.9.1. 2.3 GHz Interl Core i7 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I am not gaming or using any machine-eating apps. This is ridiculous!

Feb 4, 2014 9:12 PM in response to ryan2412by Richardwalker84,I thought I would have to take my brand new Macbook Pro back for a replacement but there was no official Apple store in the city I was in. An expert suggested I try a memory reset and I have had no proboems since (fingers crossed it stays this way), give it a try: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379. Hope this helps some of you, it was soooo frustrating for me, especially on a near new Macbook.

Mar 1, 2014 7:03 AM in response to ryan2412by alicehoang,I'm using the latest mBP 15" retina and I've gone mad several times "restart/ force quit" or desperately waiting for the applications to work again after few minutes "freezing". So far I have enccountered some prb with:
- Mail: anytime I need to search for an email, it will just quit unexpectedly and relaunch right after that. @_@ Can't even get a successful search. Also if I accidently attach files which are larger than 25MB (exceed the allowed attachment on Gmail) I won't be able to re-attach any file again by using MAIL app. *****!
- I just bought and didn't sync anything much from my old stuffs in. So appearantly it's totally new and powerful but I keep having "full application memory" which causes my softwares not responding so many times until I have to restart or completely force quit by holding the power key. Not to mention, when I use brush tool in photoshop CS6, it just freeze after every move for few minutes before it runs again... @_@ I think I'm gonna take forever for a digital painting with this prb.
- The last prb so far is the freezing that everybody has mentioned above. Can't understand why Apple hasn't done anything to fix it after so many questions n reports hv been sent to them.
I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED!

Mar 21, 2014 4:33 PM in response to ryan2412by Znozki,Same problem here (MBP retina 13inch 256GB 8GB) When the screen frose I was running VLC, iMessage, Chrome and uTorrent. I also had a Western Digital My Book hooked up to the MBP. When the screen didn't respond to my mouseclicks and keyboard hits i waited for a few minutes... Suddenly the screen wash showing really slow fragments of progress. For example i swept to the left, going to another screen and after a few minutes that actually happened in small parts... Maybe some process that gets stuck and therefor the screen can't update itself... no idea. This happened after 3hours of use for the first time. My MBP is not even one day old... Let's hope it is software related!!! I will be keeping an eye on it.. if it happens again. it's going back to apple within the 14 days! (I'm from Belgium)

Mar 24, 2014 11:28 AM in response to ryan2412by ZechaMan,I just purchased the 15" macbook pro with retina display. I couldn't find a more expensive computer and with all my money spent I am having the same issue. My computer freezes and I cant do anything. The cursor allows you to point around but nothing can be clicked or anything. Twice now in the last 15 minutes. I force quit programs not responding and it freezes. How I miss CNTR+ALT+DELETE. They need to make COMMAND+OPTION-ESC as powerful as task manager on PC. I may return the computer and get an Alienware computer, unless this can be resolved. There is no reason a nearly $3000 computer should be so glitchy, especially since it has been out for for so long now. My 4 year old 13" macbook pro is more reliable and I have Mavericks on it as well.

Mar 24, 2014 12:36 PM in response to caquonby caquon,Fix for my problem...
Turns out I had a driver for an audio interface that wasn't compatible with Mavericks. I'm using AVID's Mbox 3, and luckily AVID responded quickly to issues of incompatibility.
For those of you who are still experiencing freezing, check your consoles after every such occassion. You might be able to pinpoint the realm of error.

Mar 24, 2014 1:29 PM in response to caquonby Znozki,Untill now i have experienced one freeze. And a manual shutdown... well fixed it. But I would still like to know the cause of the first freeze. The console has saved some data. Do you have an idea what i need to look out for?
My screen froze and after a while i shut it down manually. Any idea how this is translated into log commands?
Because I shut it down manually i looked for shut down commands. This is what i found:
21/03/14 23:37:03,812 locationd[68]: locationd was started after an unclean shutdown
the unclean means the manual shutdown i guess. But this is the startup... how do i look for the actual manual shutdown... is it even possible?
Is this of topic?
Thanks

Apr 27, 2014 10:31 PM in response to ryan2412by davedonohue,I experienced this problem 1-2x day on my MacBook Pro Retina 13" with 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, and 128 GB SSD. It was maddenining. Resetting NVRAM via these instructions seems to have cured the problem:

May 29, 2014 12:45 PM in response to ryan2412by Beee617,I am also dealing with this. I actually had this problem and then brought it in and got another brand new one and it again is doing the same thing.
Is it just a bad product OR is this a bad batch?
When I took it in the first time they ran some diagnostics and then they said it was fine (which it wasn't) because when they went to shut it down the spinning wheel happened for 10+ minutes before they just shut it down manually with the main power button. ONLY after that did they admit that what was happening was not normal.
So frustrated.

Aug 10, 2014 12:27 PM in response to Beee617by kj3407,I started having this problem also, I have a 2013 Ret display with every thing extra I could get, almost $4 g's. But i did find a fix for this, With my mac, it would freeze up 3 or 4 times a day, had to power back up each time. The issue is not the computer at all, I was glad to find that out, what the problem is, is Chrome, there is a conflict with Chrome new update, for some reason apple is not aware of this. You will have to uninstall chrome and transfer all your book marks to safari, I did this and the freezing stopped, I had only one freeze in the last 3 weeks. Try it, It worked for me

Sep 2, 2014 5:48 AM in response to kj3407by gangnonr,I also am having this issue. I am on my laptop all day (about 15 hours a day) and it is freezing up 3-4x a day and I have to manually restart it. I am getting frustrated with this. I purchased it last spring (late 2013 mbp, 13' retina, 16gb of ram, Intel Core i7, etc).
I use Chrome for work and and cannot realistically switch to another browser to see if that would work or not. Has anyone else found a workaround?
