Is it safe for my MacBook pro retina plugged in while it's off?

Hello Everyone, so I have read that putting your MacBook pro in sleep while plugged in all the time is safe as long as you run the battery once in awhile, but what about if I want to shut down my MacBook pro Retina off without unplugging the charger and just leave it on for the rest of the night and then just turn my macbook pro back on still without unplugging the charger? Is it safe, no KABOOM!!? Lol ok I'm going to sleep now and I will turn off my Mac and unplug it for now until further instruction. Thanks in advance and good night!

you can leave it plugged in - when fully charged - charging stops to avoid overcharing your battery.
do not fully discharge your battery to 0% constantly, doing so will shorten your battery life.
good luck

  • HT3986 I got a macbook pro Retina and I installed a windows 7. The problem is I can't find drivers for the Macbook pro retina hardware which work for windows 7

    I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

    Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
    If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

    I get my magsafe 2 60w is it safe to charge macbook pro retina  15 pouces

    It's not a good idea to use a lower wattage power supply than what the machine shipped with. The 15" comes with an 85 watt adapter and that's what you should be using. You can go in the other direction with no problem, like using an 85 watt on a machine that came with a 60. If I were you, I go get the correct charger.

  • Is there a display for my MacBook Pro retina that isn't made by apple and doesn't cost the world?

    Please tell if there is a display for my MacBook Pro retina that I don't have to pay tons for and will connect to my laptop!

    I just plugged my 13" MBPr in to a cheap 24" 1080p BenQ using a Display port to DVI adapter and it works fine, crisp enough for my eyes and for around £115 a bargain.
    edit: Picked it up from Amazon on a free next day delivery with Prime.

    Is Unity Web Player safe for my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, just be sure you download it directly from the developer website: http://unity3d.com/webplayer. A fair number of file download sites bundle adware or other unwanted content with legitimate applications/plugins.

  • What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

    What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

    Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
    With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

    Well, I am. Power Nap is just one of the features you don't get on a Retina unless you do run Mountain Lion.

    No. If you want Apple to do the work, then you must also get parts from them. You can do the work yourself; you can look for certified Apple tech to do the work for you; you can take it to a non-Apple affiliated shop. Note that doing it yourself or taking it to a non-Apple shop will void your warranty and prevent Apple from performing any future service on the computer.

  • Has Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina from the App Store

    Does anyone know if Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina? I can no longer see it as an update in the app store. I am refering to the update that enables power nap on the Macbook Pro Retina.

    It showed up in my ML App Store.
    What is your SMC version?
    Mine is
    SMC Version (system):          2.3f28
    and I don't have the update installed.

  • Why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

    why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Dual Dell Displays for my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013)

    So I am looking at purchasing two of the new Dell Ultrashapr U2414H monitors to hook up with my Macbook Pro Retina. I have been trying to figure out the best way to connect both of the screens before I order them and I was hoping someone on here could offer guidance.
    Connectors for the U2414H:
         1. 2 HDMI(MHL) connectors
         2. 1 Mini DisplayPort
         3. 1 DisplayPort (version 1.2a)
         4. 1 DisplayPort out (MST)
    Also, if anyone has any ideas of a better monitor that I should look into PLEASE let me know. I am very open to suggestions on what types of monitors go the best with the Macbook Pro Retinas.
    Thanks!!!!

    I have just purchased a MBPr 13" along with 2 x Dell U2414h monitors in the hope of being able to daisy chaing the monitors. If i enable displayport 1.2 on both monitors then i end up with the 2 dells mirrored.
    If i plug the monitors both directly into the mac over minidisplayport to displayport cables then i have 3 displays running (the MBPr and the 2 x Dell's). What i really want is to be able to daisy chaing 1 of the dells of the other one and then connect that one to the MBPr. But i cant work out how to stop them being mirrored.
    Anyone actually got this working?

  • External monitor for my Macbook pro retina.

    I want to connect a external monitor to my Macbook pro retina. I'm searching for other options than Apple Thunderbolt Display. But in most products the connection is not Thunderbolt. Can I connect my Macbookpro retina to a external monitor through HDMI?
    Woull that me ok for video editing?
    Thank you!

    I don't know that, I'm afraid. I've used an external monitor a few times on my 2011 MBP and it appeared to work perfectly whether in mirrored mode or not, but I'm not able to make time lapse measurements. Many people seem to use the arrangement so I would presume it's fine for video editing, but don't take my word for it.

  • Should I get a fully upgraded MacBook air or should I compromise the thinness for a MacBook pro retina

    Hi I need to get a Mac for high school should I get a MacBook air with i7 and 8gb of ram or should I get a MacBook pro retina
    I make music surf the web and check emails and play games on my Mac should I compromise the portability of the air for the power of the pro
    Please please please help

    My suggestion - go with the maxed out Air.
    Right now, there are so many issues with the Retina. Nothing against the Retina since I ordered one.
    In any event, you can go with the Retina if you wish and if you're not happy with it, you can return it within the 14 days return/exchange policy and then go with the Macbook Air if you wish to do so.
    Whatever you decide to purchase in the end, I'm sure you'll be quite happy with it.
    Good luck.

  • Website couldnt recognize my serial number for my macbook pro retina

    Warranty coverage website couldnt recognize my serial number. i just bought my macbook pro retina two days ago...
    i wonder why the serial is not valid and i double check with the box and as shown in my device.

    Hi HoffmanPirate,
    There is the remote possibility that you don't have your browser cookies enabled.
    Have you TRIPLE-checked your serial # using the "About This Mac" application/ click on "More Info", then looked under "Hardware Overview:" for Serial Number (system): _______________?
    Otherwise, I'm sorry, but you will have to either contact Apple Support here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    or call the Apple Store where you purchased it (if you bought it at an Apple Store).
    Best Regards
