  • I have Problem with my new macbook with Retina display

    my new macbook with Retina display i have Problems
    (Suddenly Stuck) stop working don't thing move even mouse even caps lock light in keyboard it not work it is totally Stuck till shutdown it from keyboard and restart

    Hmm sounds like a saved application state issue and memory related.. I hate to ask are these graphic intensive apps. ?? games ??
    Try these two things and restart if it still occurs then i recommend contacting AppleCare
    disable the Resume and App Restore feature completely in Mac OS X 10.7.
    Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
    At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”
    - Click on the Apple on the top left. Choose shutdown "Uncheck" Reopen windows when logging back in
    **use your mac normally just like you were if the issue reoccurs then contact AppleCare..  Enjoy..

  • MacBook with retina display worth it?

    I'll be a college student next year and am ecstatic that I am required to have a MacBook pro. My intended major of industrial design recommends that I have at least 500GB of storage and FireWire capability. 
    I really like the new MacBook with retina display because the screen displays text, photos, videos, etc. with an extremely noticeable (at least to me) definition, which I feel is perfect for art and design. I also like how it is thinner and a tiny bit lighter than the Non-retina MacBook pro, making it easier to to carry around Syracuse's large campus. My only concern is that if I go with The standard model of the Retina display, I'll be paying quite a hefty sum, and still won't have the hard drive size I need. I have no problem paying more to get what I need, but my urgent questions are as follows:
    1) Is the higher price ($2800) MacBook with Retina display worth it?
    2) Would I be able to upgrade anything (Hard Drive Size, RAM, battery life, etc.) after I purchase the MacBook by sending it to apple or some other retailer?
    3) Is it inconvenient to not have an optical drive? 
    4) How is the battery life?
    5) Is it possible to have a retina display installed on a MacBook pro that does not originally have one?
    6) How easy is it to switch from a PC to a Mac? 
    If any or all (1, 2, and 3 most importantly) of these questions could be answered I would really appreciate it, I would also love to have any other advice on this topic.
    Thank You!

    Buy one of the other MacBook Pros.
    I really like the new MacBook with retina display because the screen displays text, photos, videos, etc. with an extremely noticeable (at least to me) definition, which I feel is perfect for art and design.

I have no problem paying more to get what I need, but my urgent questions are as follows:
    If you are worrying about cost: you cannot afford it. This so called Pro MacBook has only 1GB of VRAM when even an ugly DELL has 2GB using the same GPU. For some reason, proably due to heat it had to be downgraded to 1GB of VRAM which in the Mobile Workstation world is considered rock bottom and means you will be buying a GPU that is already date and underpowered.
    1) Is the higher price ($2800) MacBook with Retina display worth it?
    It's really only useful if you have clients who are impressed you can afford it. Plasma Blue Ray is set at 1920X1080 and until HD is 4K no one will see what you see.
    2) Would I be able to upgrade anything (Hard Drive Size, RAM, battery life, etc.) after I purchase the MacBook by sending it to apple or some other retailer?
    NO, maybe sometime in the future a thrid party will construct an SSD that is compatible but it will be very, very expensive.
    3) Is it inconvenient to not have an optical drive?
    YES, you do not really need it these days and can easily use the external DVD drive.
    4) How is the battery life?
    Considering it's ok but not as good as the other MBP.
    5) Is it possible to have a retina display installed on a MacBook pro that does not originally have one?
    NO
    6) How easy is it to switch from a PC to a Mac?
    EASY.

  • How do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

    how do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

    To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
    Important: The bottom case of the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010) uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case.

  • I have a macbook with retina display and when i use it, it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

    When i use my macbook it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

    If you're talking about the "new" MacBook with retina display, it's normal (Especially when you're playing games or watching a movie) and like Stark_Hu said, it will start displaying the temperature warnings, slow the processor, and try to regain normal temperatures. I actually had that happen to me while I was playing the Sims 4 while having 3 Pages documents and 5 or so Safari pages open.
    Now if you're talking about the Retina MacBook Pro, I would clean out the fan ports and everything because that doesn't seem too normal!

  • I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    When I go to europe and head back to the states I can go to customs at their airport i.e france, italy or germany and get VAT refund for all the purchases I made. It does not work the other way around. purchase in the US heading back to europe as far as I know but you can ask US customs at the airport if they do such thing, just make sure you have copies of your receipts.

  • Problems with timeline for PE 11 on Macbook with Retina Display

    When I use the expert timeline mode in PE 11 on Macbook with Retina Display, it zooms in excessively, to the point where I can't tell where I am.  It makes the timeline unusable.  I tried the fix that Adobe recommends, which involves replacing a HandlerTimelineFramework file.  This didn't work.  Any help would be much appreciated!

    aynteacher
    This has been a continuing problem, sometimes even with the Adobe fix in the Adobe Tech Note.
    I recall seeing a recent case of this that was finally resolved by Adobe. You may have to contact Adobe directly on this one.
    But let me see if I can find the thread that "I think" that I recall.
    Have you atempted to contact Adobe directly on this matter?

  • Macbook with retina display + 500GB western digital hard drive

    I have just bought my macbook pro with retina display and I have a Western Digital hard drive that doesnt show up when I plug it in. How can I make this work?

    Just an update:
    I tried to boot by MacBook into safe mode with the external plugged into the USB port and could never get past the Apple Logo boot screen. I then detached and tried to boot up my MacBook regularly and still nothing.
    So today i took my MacBook and WD External Hard Drive into the genius bar (they were super cool), turned out that my MacBook hard drive had dismounted itself so I had to wipe and reinstall (not a big deal, I had everything backed up).
    Then they plugged the WD into different machines running 10.6.8, 10.7.1 and 10.7.3 and the External did the same thing with everyone of the machines, proving my intial theory wrong that it was my upgrade to 10.7.3 that caused this problem.
    Didn't get a chance to try Paragon's NTFS driver and at this point I'm a little gun shy. The external is still under warranty so I'm going to see if WD will just swap it out for me. Anyways, thanks for the input.

  • Adobe Creative 6 is still pixelated even after I updated it on my Macbook with Retina display. HELP!

    I just purchased the Macbook Retina display and installed my Adobe Creative 6. I mainly use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat Pro. When I use these programs, it still appears pixelated even after I updated the software. I've attached screenshots.

    Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 have had updates that add support for Retina Display (generically called HiDPI support). InDesign needs to be updated to a Cocoa interface on the Mac and 64 bit support on Mac and Windows which can't happen until the next version of InDesign. Acrobat 11 was released too early for HiDPI support to happen.

  • HT3209 why does it say my device is not hd compatible, i have 15 inch macbook with retina display

    I was trying to rent a Movie on the itunes store and it had an error message saying my device was not HD compatible.

    I had the same problem on my fancy new retina display macbook pro.  It appears that if the last device you watched a movie on was not HD compatible (e.g. my old Apple TV at 720P) it will give you this error, even though you intended to watch the movie on your laptop.  Just go to the output selector button next to the volume slider and select your computer as the output device, then retry to download the HD movie and it will work.  My Apple TV was (literally) thousands of miles from my laptop when it gave me this error.  Software glitch.

  • IPhoto is no longer free in my Macbook with retina display after I reinstall the system.

    I cleared the disk of my Macbook and reinstall the sysem this morning. And I find there was no iLife apps in it. I used to have it when I bought it. Then I logged into the Mac app store and I find there is no iPhoto under the Purchased item. How can I be charged for the apps which I used to have?
    Tell me how to deal with it. thanks.

    Either the internal drive has failed, Likely, or the cable that goes from the drive to the logic board has failed.
    Replace the drive and test. If you still have the problem then replace the cable.

  • Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

    After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
    Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
    That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

    Did you try turning off power nap?

  • Which MacBook Pro with retina display ( 13 inch or 15 inch ? )

    I can't decide which MacBook with retina display to buy. I'm switching to a Mac from a PC, but I am used to the Mac platform. So far I'm am thinking that, I will choose the 15 inch model, if apple would lower the price a lot at the upcoming event WWDC 2013. But I would consider buy the 13 inch if apple rises the processor speed, offer more ram, and ssd, while keeping the same price.
    The 15 inch MacBook offers:
    An extra 2 inches of screen space
    Much faster ( quad core vs dual core )
    The 13 inch MacBook provides
    A compact design
    Dual core
    13 inches
    $1000 less
    For full comparison visit:  http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    I will be useing this Mac for
    Ios application developing ( Xcode, ios simulator ),
    Home use
    Web searching
    Sometimes at school
    Utilities
    And other usual stuff.
    So overall,
    I won't be carrying this around much,
    I will do lots of web searching and app developing,
    And utilities and other usual stuff
    And a need for extra screen space for more room when I'm web searching and app developing.
    What do think? Also, would you reccomended any extra features ( extra ram, ssd, or a higher processor) for my needs.  This will be a great help, thank you. Ps. I have my fingers crossed for a new MacBook Pro lineup and WWDC 2013. I hope to see upgrades for the MacBook Pro with retina display, apple.

    Hi,
    I am a researcher so I store a lot of papers, data, and use numerical software. I have had a 17inch high spec macbook pro for over a year now. I find that apart from the large screen, it was unnecessary to get the high specs. This is why. Firstly, the hard drive is easy to replace and upgrade, apple charge a lot for their own ones. Secondly, the ram in my one was upgradable (which i didnt know when i bought it) and i since upgraded to 16gigs from 8 and its amazing. Thirdly, the newer macbook pros run hotter than the previous ones.
    The retina is overrated and the programs for retina need more memory and processing power, so what you find is that your hard drive will get taken over sooner, your mac will run hotter, and battery life lower.
    I would say to you, dont worry about the processor speed, the normal speed offered is perfect, more than that is not necessary unless you are running highly demanding apps, the mac will run hotter too. Dont bother getting a large hard drive in the macbook. Get a flash SSD drive, and buy a good portable 2tb HD, like a WD one, and use that to store as much of your work as possible. I believe apple started soldering their ram cards to the motherboard or something so that people cant upgrade. Check in advance and see if the macbook you want can be ram upgradable, then get a lower ram model and buy good 8gb ram cards to make 16gig. Very very easy to install them, took me about two minutes to do mine, it will be much cheaper.
    If I think of anything else i will post back. Dont forget to install GFX card status too and use integrated only when on battery, i get up to ten hours of battery life without wifi, around 8 with wifi.
    edit. I forgot to mention that if you buy your mac and try to open it you will void the warranty.
