MacBook Pro 13' Retina Late 2013 Trackpad, EFI and Boot ROM Version issue?

What is your suggest guys ,waiting fix? or change it new one?

Try connected a usb flash memory and problem is gone,don't happen again,works fine...

Apple fix this problem please !

You can change it for a new one but there's no guaranty that the new will not have the same problem, happens to me twice! After I went for the forth time to the Apple Store, they told me that it may be a software problem so there's nothing they can do and that they can't give me a new one.

Connect a USB mouse or flash memory solves the problem, but I hope that a real fixe appears soon, maybe on 10.9.4.

I now have the same Macbook Pro but with a differente Boot Rom version. I have to say that the problem is only for that Boot Rom, this computer doesn't have, for the moment, any issues so I hope that Apple will release a fix or a firmware update that can help all of you with that problem! Good luck and I hope that in some weeks you'll have good news!

have you changed your macbook pro with new one?

Not with a new one, the one I have is refurbished, but it works pretty well. I didn't want a new one because the odds of finishing with the same boot rom were to high. The one I have now is the same as the other, 8GB RAM, 256SSD and 2,4 i5 but without the trackpad problem.

Ok. I decided to waiting a fix from Apple...Hope appears soon.

Do you have any other problems guys like freezing ?

I hope indeed it appears soon. I have used the Apple Bug Report or simething like that to report tht problem. That program is only available on Beta Softwares so I hope that the guys at Apple give it a look and try to figure out what the problem is. I think the only thing they have to do is to fix the firmware software, so let us wait for that firmware upgrade.

For the moment I haven't experienced any freeze.

Hey Guys,

Same problem here. I bought in Apple Online Store my MBP Retina i5 256GB 16GB in the end of April. I noticed strange trackpad/keyboard behavior during the system setup. After a few days I called Apple and told I am not happy. They replaced my machine for a new one. Same problem. Both of them have the same EFI version which is MBP111.0138.B07. I've checked a few newly purchased Macbook Pro's and they all have B07 EFI version and the same trackpad behavior.

After some investigation I have discovered:

1. The log message "The USB device Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad (Port 5 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup" is present on all MBP Retina's Late 2013. However with EFI B03 there is no problem while waking up the system with trackpad/keyboard after 5 seconds of inactivity.
2. On my laptop with B07 sometimes I'm able to turn turn this little freezing off. When I do this the system message has a (1) at the end while when freezing is present there is (2) at the end.
3. I'm able to turn it off for a while (sometimes one day, sometimes a week or even two) by connecting something to the USB port (mouse, wireless mouse, usb drive etc.). When the USB device is connected the log message disappears and so does the problem. When I disconnect the USB device freezing sometimes is not present but the log message is back with (1) at the end.

Hope this helps someone and Apple prepare an EFI update soon 🙂

Hi guys!

Sorry for my bad english, I'm french :/

So I bought a Retina 13" 2 days ago and I have the same problem with my trackpad. After approximatively 5 seconds without using the computer, my trackpad lags when I use it (for example to scroll down...) and I'm in B07 too.

My mother has an MBP13 (without Retina) since 2012 and the trackpad works well. It seems to be laggy (like mine), but it's faster than mine to "restart", so it's not a problem when I using it.

So I think about a software problem, and I hope Apple will fix this very soon!

I hope you can understand me x)

edit: I plugged my Razer Mouse, and when I using the trackpad, it works well!

editt2: But I don't have any problem with the keyboard. Only the trackpad 😉

I have the same problem, but it's not just the trackpad and keyboard lagging - I get the pinwheel thing and my computer freezes for several minutes. The weird thing is that the clock keeps going and if I'm playing videos (on VLC) they'll keep playing, but I can't move my mouse or any windows, or even switch between windows using Cmd + Tab. I really hope there's a fix soon, especially since I'm living in Peru currently and there are no Apple stores I can take my Mac to get it replaced

I also have the same problem.

I have os version 10.9.5.

I downloaded macBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3 from here :

MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3

but I can't install it: the message says "This software is not supported on your system."

what should I do?

Oh, as a temporary solution I can insert any external device to mac pro retina USB port and then remove it. after that every thing will be ok.

I think it's better than restart the mac or shutdown the screen .

Same problem.

I took it to the apple store and ask to revert back to Mavericks. Stopped for a few minutes then the problem came right back.

It's pretty annoying ... Seriously hope they come out with a solution soon.

And when I was on Yosemite, my battery life was cut in half ... 9 hours to 5. Anyone else have this problem??
