    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.

    How do i connect my macbook pro retina display to lcd projector?

    Depends on what type of video connection the projector accepts. Most common would be DVI, VGA or HDMI. Review this article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3235

  • How do I downgrade my MacBook Pro Retina Display from Mountain Lion to Lion?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina Display that came with OS X 10.8.1.
    I´m an audio engineer so I work with Pro Tools, tons of plug-ins etc... Some of my software doesn't work with Mountain Lion just yet. Some of them haven't upgraded, and some of them I need to purchase a latest version, which is not cheap at all in the audio world. So I'd like to hang on to Lion for a while until I decide to upgrade everything to Mountain Lion.
    I've seen other posts about this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148927?start=0&tstart=0
    This one in particular managed to make the downgrade. However, he used to have OS X 10.7.4 in his retina display when he bought it. Which is something that doesn't happen in my case.
    If you read the other post you can see that several methods have been tried.
    Is it really safe to completely erase my hard drive and to a clean install of Lion? Will it work perfectly fine on my Retina Display?
    I went to one Apple Store, and the guy asked around and told me they haven't done it before, so since they didn't know whether it was going to work they couldn't do it. He told me to do it myself and if something happened to my laptop, "just bring it in and we'll reinstall the stock OS X again."
    Since the laptop is brand new I don't mind erasing everything, all my stuff is already backed up.
    So help me please?

    The short of it is if it came with 10.8.1 you can't install an OS less than that.

  • Macbook Pro Return for Macbook Pro Retina Display

    I wanted to know if I can still return my Macbook Pro which I purchased in May 2012 and receive the Retina Display Pro as an exchange.  It sounds like a stretch but the employees at the store said nothing of new product development to me which is pretty deceiving.  I'm still well within the warranty limits for both technical support and the 1 year warranty.  Whether or not it's a yes or no answer, does anyone have any information on this type of exchange or know of it happening successfully?

    No, you won't be able to exchange your computer. The Retina display was not announced until June 11, 2012, so there was nothing deceptive going on. While Apple has a reuse and recycle program, you're likely to get less than $1,000 for your computer through that program. Your best best would be to sell your old machine on eBay and put the money towards a Retina display model, if that's what you want.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Upgrade RAM for MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

    Hi
    Is it possible to upgrade the 8GB to 16GB RAM for the above mentioned macbook pro?
    thanks
    chris

    The Retina display models cannot have the ram upgraded post purchase...the ram modules are soldered to the logic board.

  • How to get iDVD on macbook pro retina display without buying disk

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I can get iDVD on it without having to buy iLife again.

    If you already have iDVD 7 on an install disk use that. If not, you will have to find iLife 8 or later on eBay or Amazon.

  • How to install CS5 on macbook pro retina display?? I have the original CD but mac doesn't have cd

    I can't find the PS CS5 to install the trial anyways... so i need a solution

    You will need a computer to "burn" the CD image onto a USB/thumb drive. I say burn, not copy, because you cannot simply copy the disk image. There are multiple Free OpenSource programs that can copy a disk image onto a thumb drive, so I will not suggest one. Burning an image, rather than copying will delete files on a thumb drive just as it would with a rewritable disk.
    If it is an IMG and not an ISO image, I believe you may be able to copy it directly to a thumb drive and mount the image to install the program. You may also mount an ISO that has been copied if you have the correct program, but I would not advise it.
    All of this should permitted within the license areement for the most restrictively licensed programs, so long as no copy is left on the computer used to copy the image, you keep the CD only as a backup, you are only using the copy to install a program for which you have a license, and you only install the program on one computer that you own and control.
    I am not an attorney and do not work for Adobe, so you should read the license before following my advice to be sure.

  • How left-click "mouse" on MacBook Pro retina display?

    A video I want to download to my rMBP says I need to left-click my mouse on a screen icon. How do I left-click a trackpad so it does the job? Do I need to change any settings or what?

    System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click settings. Tap to Click and Secondary Click checkmarks.

  • What is the best display resolution setting for Macbook Pro retina display for photography?

    Display resolution settings are somewhat criptic. I want maximal resolution for editing photos. Which one should I choose?

    Not sure what you mean by "attachment" -
    The question was about a player/recorder, also known as a burner when used with a computer. Any burner will also function as a player with a computer (as in "read and write") - just attach the drive and insert a CD or DVD. iTunes will however, most likjely, attempt to immediately import the song - that is its default behavior. I have other audio software, so I can bypass iTunes as I don't care to use it. And this is what I am referring to:

  • Macbook Pro Retina display says "No batteries available" after legitimate system software update

    Issue Description
    On July 26, 2012 I placed an order with Apple store for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following configuration (Order # W269108641 Serial# C02J52S9DKQ5):
    Processor 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM, Flash Storage 512GB Flash Storage
    It was delivered August 8, 2012. It cost me $3,265.16
    I have since equipped it with accessories like a wireless apple keyboard ($69), wireless mouse ($69), USB super drive ($79), VGA display adapter ($29), Ethernet Adapter ($29) and the excellent sleeve/pouch from Pack & Smooch GmbH (GBP60))
    It's so heavily configured because it’s my main workstation. I additionally bought and installed Parallels 8 so I can run Windows 8 in a Virtual Machine because I have a few things on Windows that I need to be productive. This setup has been a dream machine until a little over a week ago.
    In the one year since I bought it, I have had only 2 issues;
    • A case of display flickering that resulted after a system software update on August 28, 2013
    (Case ID 498560320 - not much help came from Apple Support but fortunately the problem went away a week later after another system software update)
    • A case of battery failure that resulted after a system software update on October 11, 2013
    (Case ID 516534003 - I have gone through all recommendations from Apple support as I will detail below)
    Symptoms after system software update
    • Battery Icon on status bar disabled with a message "No batteries available"
    • Battery not charging
    • LED on the Magsafe power adapter no longer show
    • Keyboard backlights no longer show
    • Notebook fan loud/noisy and permanently at high speed
    • Date and time reset to a date in the past at each restart
    • Notebook starts up the moment the Magsafe adapter is connected without waiting for power button to be pressed
    • An update for "MacBook Pro Retina Display SMC Update 1.2" keeps appearing in Software Update
    Recommendations from Apple Support
    • Perform SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)
    (Done - no change in status)
    • Run Disk Utility
    (Done - no errors found)
    • Run Apple Hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    (Done - no errors found, no change in status)
    • Visit Apple Store
    (Done - they confirmed no issue with Magsafe adapter. For a fee they are happy to change the battery if confirmed faulty and re-install the OS if the battery is not the issue but am uncertain that the OS re-install will resolve the issue because I have read online about a similar case where a re-install did not resolve the issue)
    • Check System Report/Hardware/Power
    (Done - Health Information/Cycle count:0, Battery installed: No)
    • Perform NVRAM Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US)
    (Done - no change in status)
    Comments and additional Observations
    Please note the following;
    • All of the symptoms above appeared after a system software update on October 11, 2013
    • This update first appeared on October 10, 2013 but I was too busy to apply it especially because it required a system restart
    • The battery was fully charged when I decided to apply the update on October 11 morning after I got to work
    • Normally on full charge, the battery will typically deliver 3 - 4 hours depending on usage and up to 6 hours when idle
    • The said update was not interrupted or anything of the sort
    • On the day the symptoms were first observed when I first logged the case with apple, the system ran on battery while it performed the Apple Hardware Test while I was driving to the Apple support store on my way home even though the status bar was indicating "No battery available" 
    I make the following deductions solely based on my observations
    • An apple authorized system software update broke the system
    • The nature of the failure is communication related - the battery charging circuit and related systems are not getting the necessary instructions to function as they should (It's a known fact that rechargeable batteries do NOT die instantaneously, the total hours they run on full charge will gradually reduce over time as they degrade on use)
    • It’s possible the update is not being applied correctly because the item “MacBook Pro Retina Display SMC Update 1.2” is still in Software update after subsequent attempts to apply it
    • The high fan speed is nothing to do with high temperature or high processor load, according to the Activity Monitor utility the highest CPU utilization 1.9 – 4.7% is by kernel_task (PID 0) followed by activitymonitord at 1.8 – 2.2% (PID 481)
    • The symptoms match what an SMC reset should resolve according to Apple documentation
    • This is a known problem within Apple based on the documentation provided and the numerous similar cases reported online
    Summary;
    The system is running OS X 10.8.5
    I have provided this detailed documentation in the hope that someone who understands this system can say exactly what is going on. It's meant to be a dream machine but now you can hear the fan from across a large room, the battery doesn't charge and is in fact not recognized so I lose data if the Magsafe adapter gets unplugged, and I have to reset the system date each time I restart the notebook.
    I've used this notebook with utmost care for a little more than a year, this investment of over $3,500 could have bought 3 high end notebooks from DELL or HP but I chose Apple.
    I have suffered untold loss in productivity in the last 10 days since this issue occurred, I respectfully request Apple to fix my notebook.

  • Facetime and iMessage on Macbook Pro Retina display slow after Yosemite 10.10.3 Update

    Hi
    I recently updated my Macbook Pro Retina display to Yosemite 10.10.3 update. I see that the Facetime and iMessage has become relatively very slow. Like for example when someone calls on my phone it takes like more than 15 seconds + to show up on my macbook. Earlier it used to be like instant!
    I started seeing this problem on Yosemite 10.10.3 update only. Also the same is the story with iMessage. When I get an SMS or an iMessage from my friends it takes like a good 30 seconds + to show up on my macbook pro.
    Just for your information, this is the version of macbook i am using
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    251GB Flash storage
    As Suggested by someone I also tried RESETTING my computer's PRAM. That didn't seem to help either. Can anyone help. If it is a genuine bug in Apple Yosemite, I'd like to file a bug in the community.
    Regards
    Shreyas

    I have a broken screen for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and I cannot find a replacement. Where I can find the screen? I will install myself. Thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts, any you find will be third-party knockoffs.  Take your Retina to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs tell you what  needs to be done.  New Retina screens are not cheap, they normally replace the entire lid as a unit.

  • When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display i get a black screen and i noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?

    When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display, a black screen show up while I hear the normal start up sound.  I noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?

    If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.
