MacBook Pro Retina Display Quit - A1502
My MacBook Pro Retina display has quit. It stopped working in the middle of operation and will not come on. The computer boots fine (at least chimes), but nothing in the display. Have tried all possible keyboard resets--no luck. It was not set up for sharing, so can't log in remotely. Currently in Mexico, will bring to Apple Store on return. Any others with similar failures?

Do you mean beeps like one of these?

Macbook Pro Retina Display Disk is locked
Hi,
I have a macbook pro retina display with mountain lion 10.8.1.
Today I shutdown my machine and now when I try to turn it on it goes to a progress bar and spinning and it just turns off itself. I have tried recovery mode and it turns out the disk needs repair and after repair it says it can't be repaired and it should be reformat again. I've tried safe mode but it keeps doing the progress bar and spinning and it turns off again.
I don't know what happened to the machine it was on my desk all the time and it has flash storage so no failing in hard disk and bad sector.
What should I do? (I don't have a external hard drive with GUID to install ML on it and see if I can open my Macintosh HD. And I don't have a Time Machine backup).Do you have any backups? If the answer is no, you've quite possibly lost all your data.

Macbook Pro Retina Display & Adobe programs are pixelated
Hi. I just purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina Display and have installed CS 5.5 Design Standards to it. When I open the programs (any program: inDesign, Photoshop, etc), the image is pixelated and in low resolution. When I export what I'm working on it looks crisp and great but the software itself is pixelated. Are there any upgrades / updates for CS 5.5 that will fix this problem? Or will there be in the future? I cannot afford to get CS 6 quite yet and am wondering if I should return my Mac and downgrade to get rid of the retina display?? Thanks.
To get Retina support, you'll have to upgrade to CS6 or join the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Retina support arrive in Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1 and Cloud 13.1). It will not be added to CS5.5

Macbook pro retina display get so hot its very uncomfortable to write simple emails please be advise. went to genius bar and told me everything is normal:!
I have to desagree its not normal !!! be advisedOpen up activity monitor and under all process, see how much dock is using. highlight it and hit quit process.
since you're already at activity monitor, hit quit process on anything else using more than 10% of your CPU's resources.
see if your Retina runs cooler once you've done that.
good luck. -
Macbook Pro retina display makes a metallic spring noise.
I've only recently purchased my Macbook Pro 15" retina display and it's been perfect. Until the other day I noticed that when I touch the bottom of my Macbook, the area where it says "Macbook Pro" with other details, it makes a strange metallic noise. Kind of like a spring. I've made an appointment with a Genius at an Apple store next week, but I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this before and what you done about it?
I know it's probably not a big issue, but when you pay over two grand for a laptop, you expect it to be pretty perfect.So I went to my appointment the other day with a Genius, turns out her macbook pro retina display does the exact same thing. She realigned and cleaned out my laptop, but she said there is actually nothing they can do about it. It's the little springs and the only thing they could do is send it off and get new insides. And then it'll still probably happen.
So unfortunately, that's just how the retina display models are, she said a majority of them make that noise. She also said hers has gotten better with time.
It's quite disappointing when you pay over two grand for a laptop, and it's not 100% perfect. But I'm just going to have to forget about it, and stop placing it on my knees (when I hear it most), laptops shouldn't go on your lap anyway. -
Hi folks! Macbook Pro Retina Display burns
Hi folks, I don't really know if this is normal, but my Macbook Pro Retina Display litteraly burns at the top of it, quite sure there is the battery. What I can't get is why is it so hot!!
I've been looking into the web for any cooling station that will help me out with it, but can't find any related or at least supported by Apple. As far as I know there are any!!
Have you got any idea about where to look for?
I will really appretiate any kind of help!!!!
Cheers!!they do get very hot in the area between the top of the keyboard/bottom of screen
if the keys are hot that they are uncomfortable to use then i would concede there is an issue
are the fans running properly? if it's that hot they should be turning on -
2012 macbook pro retina display
i am looking to buy a 2012 macbook pro retina display 13.3" core i5, 8gb ram and 126gb ssd however, have heard that the 2012 macbook retina display models have problems with them, like screen issues, over heating issues, wifi connection issues etc. can anybody cnonfirm these problems are quite common? and if so are there any solutions ot them
Hi alex,
Mostly what we see here are posts from people with problem MBPs, so it seems like a lot, when in reality, it's usually only a small percentage of all those units sold. That said, it does seem like the r models have more than their share of issues, but if it was a majority of them, it would be the first time.
If you get it new, there's a 14 day return policy, 90 days of phone support, and a one year warranty.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?
How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

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. -

I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations. I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote. Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display? Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet. Does anyone have any ideas?
Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection. Im looking for a remote that worked like the apple TV remote. My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac. I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter. It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good. Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?
