  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Adobe Reader Update for MacBook Pro with Retina Display

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and noticed when I downloaded Adobe Reader that it had not yet been updated to support the new Retina Display. If I remember correctly, it was announced that Adobe Photshop has been updated to support the new display. Will there also be an update for Reader any time soon?

    Hi,
    Reader and Acrobat XI will support Retina display for both the user interface and document rendering with the September update.
    For now, the UI is Retina capable but the document content is still rendered at a lower resolution.
    Few more weeks to go
    Best,

  • Configure New TM on a New Macbook pro with retina display Issue

    I have bought a new New Macbook pro with retina display laptop (Lion moutain OS)and a new TM (2TB).
    I have an internet router with wireless connect.
    I plugged TM to the router with an ethernet cable.
    Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
    then I choose Time capsule from WiFi as shown below:
    Then the airport utility (version 6.1) opened and start configuring TM but it gives an expected error when it is starting to join the TM!!!!
    I have reset the TM several time but with no hope.
    PS: I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
    I am struggling on this issue for weeks and I cannot yous TM on my macbook pro.
    Help please.

    Time Capsule .. TC is the hardware box you bought.. Time Machine is the software you use in the Mac computer.. so what you generally refer to as TM is really TC.. !!
    I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
    That is great.. you do not need to setup the Time Capsule at all then. It is already setup.. forget using 6.1 utility.. it is useless toy version.
    Just use it.. open Time Machine and see if you can connect to the TC drive to do backup.. and to the wireless.
    From your statements..
    Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
    You are trying to connect with both wireless and ethernet at once.. This can mess things up. choose wireless or ethernet.. not both.
    If you keep running into issues.. reset the TC.. I know yet again.
    Set it up using SMB names.. for both the TC itself and wireless.
    Then lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. use channel 1, 6, or 11 (13 in europe) and see how it goes.

  • Unable to purchase HD movies on iTunes to watch on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

    I tried to purchase HD movies on itunes but was presented with an error message saying 'This cannot be played in HD on this computer. If you buy the HD version, you will have to transfer it to an HD-compatible device in order to watch it. Or, you can buy the SD version and watch it on this computer.' but this was obviously not right because i'm using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 15" and it's resolution of 2880x1800 far exceeds the minimum screen resolution required for HD playback. Performance was not the cause either as this is an 2.6ghz quad core computer with 16GB of RAM. Any help on this matter? Thanks in advance.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • Audio into my macbook pro with retina display?

    Does any one know of any devices I can use to get audio into my macbook pro with retina display? PLEASE Help!!!!

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

    How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

  • The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

    I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
    It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

    it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP.  it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels.  Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store. 

  • Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input.  I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching.  I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio.  But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack? 

    Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
    You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:

  • What cable do I need in order to migrate from Macbook Pro (December 2008) to the new Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    Thanks for your help!

  • How to Install Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro with Retina Display Using Boot Camp?

    Hello,
    I own a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and was wondering how do I install Windows 8.1 without an optical disc drive? I have bought the full version of Windows 8.1 and would like to partition it on my MacBook Pro. Could someone please help me out by posting step-by-step procedure or a video on how to do it? It is my first time partitioning the Windows operating system and would like to clarify with the community on this before I install it.
    Thanks in advance for those who have helped!

    Windows 8.1 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. The best way currently to install Windows 8.1 is to use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Installation instructions are on the Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox site.

  • How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?

    Hi - How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?
    I am pretty new to the apple world. Tried doing it through bootcamp but did not success.
    I am not interested to install it through Parallels or Fusion. Plz guide.
    Thanks !

    OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
    Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX

  • Windows XP on macbook pro with retina display?

    I am going to be helping a client with putting Windows XP on a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display later this week.
    This client has two programs that are XP-specific, and MUST be run by booting XP fully and not virtually with Parallels or other options.
    So we are going to be using bootcamp.
    We have the XP install disc, and an external USB CD/DVD drive from Apple.
    I've found postings online about people installing more recent flavors of Windows (Vista, 7, etc) on these machines
    but I haven't found anything about Windows XP on the MBPro with retina display.
    Anyone have any tips to share?
    This should still be possible and not a big problem, right?
    Yes, I know the resolution will likely be the biggest issue, but it should still install and run, yes?
    Thank you for any helpful info anyone can provide.

    First off there are no programs that are XP specific and no programs, that I know of or ever heard of, that can not run in XP in a virtual machine.
    Most all programs that will run on XP will run on Win 7, unless they are older programs. Those older program that will run on XP and not on Vista or 7 will also run on Win 2000 or 98SE. So as stated before I don't know of any programs that will only run on XP and no other operating system.
    A Virtual Machine is Just That, IE a set of Virtual hardware. The Operating system has No Idea it is running in a Virtual Machine on top of a Host operating system. They are completely separate except for the VM using some of the physical hadware in the host computer. Like the USB ports, the network interfaces and the CD/DVD drive. And the VM software is made to allow those devices to look like they are part of a Physical computer the VM OS is running on.
    So I have not idea what these programs could be that would not run on/in a Virtual Machine with XP Installed.
    Please let me know for future reference.
    So your options are.
    1) Install a Virtual Machine software program. VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox. Then install Win XP into a Virtual Machine.
    2) Buy and older Windows computer that will run XP natively. It doesn't need to be that old, 3-4 years old will do as most all major PC manufacturers have XP drivers for their 3-4 year old computers and most if not all hardware manufacturers, Vid cards, Ethernet & WiFi cards, still list drivers for XP.
