2013 mac book pro with retna and 4gb ram
just ordered this but didnt know i cant add more ram so it has 4 gb is that enough for iphoto and raw files or will it be to slow ? why did apple make a computer that cant be upgraded
I'm still scratching my head over why Apple only makes new systems that can't be user upgraded, too...
Regardless... you need to cancel your order and order a machine with at least 8GB. 4GB is not going to cut it now nor in the next couple of years. 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' and 16GB for those who want or need to run multiple apps concurrently.
Cancel that order ASAP!

I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?
iMac specs - 21.5 inch 2010 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Mac Book Pro specs - 13 in. retina 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR32010 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt, they have mini-display ports. You are using the wrong connection, you need a mini display port to mini display port. Please read up on what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Office::2008 was drag & drop, but Office::2011 has an installer you need to run. -
Does the Mac Book Pro With Retna have a disk drive?
Does The Mac Book pro With Retna have a disk drive?
No. The storage is all SSD.
Ciao.
If you are referring to an optical drive, that is also NOT included. You would need to connect one externally.

I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crash almoset every time i use it?
I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crashes almoset every time i use it? I have the newest update.
Could you please help me? I have a lot of Keynote shows, and I have to use it now!!
I have saved a crash report, if you need it.Apple will not write back to you. Telephone using the Apple Care phone number appropriate for your country and ask for a refund, if that is what you want to do.
I use Keynote everday, it does exactly what it says it will do, that is if your NOT using Mountain LIon.
There are many applications available
I have used MS PowerPoint professionally for many years on both Windows and Mac, I can assure you it can do everything that Keynote can do and very much more.
Which software you choose depends on who you are and who you are presenting to.
for interactive presentations look at:
PowerPoint
Adobe Flash
Adobe Director
Camtasia
Dreamweaver (an HTML application)
for simple photo slide shows:
iPhoto
iMovie
Picasa
Photomagico
Adobe Lightroom -
I've been to Genius twice, rebuilt OS X Yosemite, had the motherboard replaced and some other components, but my 2013 mac book pro continues to crash inside Safari. I removed all extensions and add-ons and my computer still panics and crashes in Safari. Finally, I moved on to Firefox and behold, no more crashes. Just thought others would like know that Apple has its work cut out for them and possibly moving on to a different browser is a better solution.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not resize your hard drive in Windows with Disk Management or you will probably damage the partition table. Apple has designed a hybrid partition table so OS X detects it as GPT and Windows detects it as MBR, so now you have converted the hard drive into a dynamic partition table and you cannot start up in OS X or Windows.
See if you can use OS X Recovery. To do it, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up, and try to reinstall OS X. However, this will not let you erase the hard drive, so you probably have to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your Mac working again -
I have two Macs and one windows but I left the disk along with the key code in Dubai. If I want to use windows 7 on bootcamp on my other mac, and do a migrate, will I have to use the key code at some point?
if do do I have to buy a new windows 7?There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that. -
Info in the title. I've received conflicting advice help from the Apple Store so I thought I'd try here. I've restored iphoto from my lastest back-up on time machine from my old computer (iphoto works well on old computer), I've rebuilt the library, I've put the old library on a thumb drive and loaded it manually. It's all there on my old computer, but won't work in my new iphoto.
Try directly copying the Library from the old machine.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else. -
When I try get my photos to open in PSE 13 to be edited they do nothing ! In the past I had them set to open in PSE 11 which is what I was using --- I've changed that to open in PSE 13 but it still doesn't work? Can you help me please?
I hope you have set the correct .app file in iPhoto's preferences. Please see Use with iPhoto | Mac OS for details on set up. Just replace 11 with 13.

I have mac book pro with lion and constantly get a drop-down menu when clicking on a menu line
I am new to Apple software. I have a MacBook Pro using Lion. Question is I constantly get drop-down menus when I click on an item to initate an action, even as simple as clicking on the red x to close a page. Why??
Sounds like the right-click behavior is messed up. Check the Mouse or Trackpad preferences and see what it has for right-click.
Also, it could be that your contol key is stuck down or the keyboard is sending that command for some reason. -
After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.
This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?
If you want to communicate issues with Apple about Boot Camp and OS X, click on the link. Just don't hold your breath on receiving a response. -
I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and OS X 10.9.4 . My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?
If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV. -
I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
MikeA PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

I have a Mac book pro with iPhoto updated to iPhoto 11 we have 2 users on our Mac myself and my husband. I recently loaded all of our pictures from a recent trip into iPhoto under my login screen. Can these photos also be transferred into my husbands iPhoto library under his login screen ? I want to transfer some not all of them and already deleted them from the camera card.
Use iPhoto Sharing.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work. -
