3rd retina display replacement is making my Mac crawl

I have just had the dead pixels on the Samsung retina display replaced with an LG LP154WT1-SJA2.
I had to have the original LG screen replaced one and a half days in to owning this Mac and now not even 18months old I have had to have the Samsung screen replaced because of dead pixels in the display.
Everything is running slower and I am even having Word just lock up on me.
I have 262GB free of the 512GB SSD hard drive so I don't think that is the problem.
Is there any setting that could have been invoked to give me these problems????
Is it possible to get the old screen back and get it running at normal speed??

QuickTime need codec to play avi on MacBook Pro retinal display but not on other Mac's with Mountain Lion?

Why will avi play on all my Mac's with Mountain Lion but not on my Retinal Display 13" Macbook Pro? Quicktime players are the same, OS are the same plugins are the same and up to date. Get the missing Codec warning only on retinal display.

You don't say if your MacBook Pro is the new version that supports USB 3, if not the card reader will default to USB 2. The Ultra II is listed as 10Mb/s on old cards and 15MB/s on new cards, both within USB 2 specification. Extreme III are listed as 20MB/s old cards and 30MB/s new. These 30 MB/s maybe a bit too much for USB 2, not sure. see http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1111
If the Macbook Pro as USB 3 support it could be that it does not recognise the card reader as USB 3 and default to USB 2.
See Apple URL http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5172?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Bullet point 11 may help.
Of course the card reader could be faulty and not read the Extreme III cards unless you have verified it working in other situations.

Can the 64gb iPad with Retina Display replace a laptop?

I'm looking into getting the new ipad to use primarily as a laptop.. i would be doing alot of word processing, keynote presentations and the odd imovie. i'm planning on keeping my current laptop if needed but hoping to use it sparingly.. so would the new ipad be able to satisify my needs?

I can go for days without using my computer. However, there is a lot that hte iPad just can't do, or can't do well (it was created to be a data consumer, not a data creator, so you have to be prepared to find work arounds or tweaks to do what you want to do)
If you don't have or keep your laptop, then you're going to be dependant upon cloud services to back your info up. I may sound paranoid, but I really don't like trusting a third party with my data. You may not share my issues but if you don't have a local backup, then you will need something.
Also, as noted, all apps are skinnied down versions of their original programs. I use Documents to Go, and it does just fine for basic typing, etc, but there isn't any support for in depth formatting or complicated formulas in excel. So you need to decide if the basic functions will do what you need them to do.
Even with 64 gig, for example, if you take photos, you're not really going to be able to backup your images etc.
If I were making declarations....a good short term replacement, a good travel companion, but I'd only consider it a permanent replacement for a person that really does nothing beyond e-mail and the occasional e-book reading.

IPad Mini with Retina Display's Volume Down button sticks, have to press really hard to make it unstick and then decrease volume level. Anyone else seeing this issue?

When trying to press the physical down volume button on my iPad mini with Retina Display, it sticks making you have to press really hard before it unsticks then allows you to decrease the volume level. Not sure if this is a common issue and not sure if its worth a genius appointment but it does seem to be getting worse. Anyone having this issue or know a fix? Thanks

Thanks for letting me know, I will have AppleCare arrange a replacement rather than getting a new retail box. I find the replacements are usually better quality when it is a new product. The AppleCare team said they wouldn't be sending a refurbished/repaired handset this early which gives me some confidence.
My home button does feel different and definatley sounds different but from what people have said this is normal. Someone posted a video of their and it was the same as mine so I'm not concerned.

Can I replace 15 inch retina display that broke on my sons Mac , if so how much

Can I replace 15 inch retina display that broke on my sons Mac , if so how much

You will have to take it to an Apple store genius bar and talk with the techs, or take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and get their estimate. Typical is on the order of $500 in the US.
This is not a user replaceable item, doing so will void any warranty and all further support from Apple. They are pretty emphatic about that no further support thing so be sure to use an authorized repair service.

MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display 15-inch 2012 making strange cricket-like noise (only when plugged in)

Hi guys, I have a year old retina MBP. Recently, it just started making this high-pitched whirring cricket-like sounds. Although pretty quiet, the sound is pretty annoying. This sound has a few strange characteristics that make it hard for me to pin it down to any component:
- the sound only occurs when laptop is PLUGGED IN, when my laptop is not plugged (on battery), there is no sound
- reducing the screen brightness, reduces the sound but does not make it go away (even with no backlight, the sound is still there)
- the sound occurs mostly when performing going into MISSION CONTROL or swiping between desktops. It also sometimes happens randomly, but that is less common. It follows the inputs of trackpad and keyboard, though mostly mission control swipes and desktop changes. It doesn't coincide with intensive CPU, GPU, RAM or SSD tasks (ie running a CPU/GPU heavy app, or compressing a file does not increase the quantity of sound)
- I am not very sure where the sound originates from, might be from the top left of the keyboard (q key), but it is also louder near the speakers.
ALSO:
- It is not from the fans, as they occur when fans are running slow or fast and this sound is unaffected by any changes in fan speed
- reducing backlight has no effect
- turning automatic graphic off or on has no effect
- resetting NVRAM, etc. has no effect
Most likely theory:
- some kind of faulty capacitor maybe?
- but then which part of the laptop to replace....
- I don't have Applecare, but I do have a third-party warranty; they've agreed to replace the faulty part...
- I've read the forums and have seen people with similar problems (though never this exactly; replacing fans and logic board does not seem to help)

guiparent,
whether it’s worth the price or not is an entirely subjective opinion. My own choice was to buy a used non-Retina 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and replace its hard drive with a SSD; but since I don’t use graphic-intensive apps such as the Adobe Creative Suite, my own choice would most likely not be best for you. Given your graphic design background, if you find the non-Retina displays sufficient for your needs, I’d recommend that you consider a used 15-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. That model has memory sockets, so you can replace/upgrade the RAM if needed; its internal disk can be replaced by/upgraded with any 2.5-inch 9.5-mm-high SATA hard disk or SSD; and it has a built-in SuperDrive.

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!

The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop.

Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

Hi everyone,
I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
Thanks!

I agree with BobTheFisterman. I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011. I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac. It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine. Not close at all in fact. I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy. "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it. I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows. Both are free and get very good reviews. I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive. I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

Retina Display MBP - 3rd party optical drive

Hi,
I have just received my retina display macbook pro. I would like to view blu-ray movies on the retina display.
For this reason, I think it would be better to purchase a 3rd party bluray drive instead of the apple superdrive.
Is there any reason the apple superdrive would be preferable to a third party device? Maybe better integration with the OS?
Also, does anybody have any recommendations from these three drives:
Samsung SE-506AB
Asus SBW-06C2X-U
Sony BDX-S500U
Thanks in advance for any advice

Thanks RobotPi for your answer.
I am aware that I will need additional software to play Blu Ray movies.
I am however wondering if a third party drive will be euqally well integrated with Mac OS.
For example, with a non-apple optical drive, will I still be able to right click on a file and click "Burn .... to Disc"?
Will I be able to boot from a non-apple USB optical drive?
Does anybody know any reason why any one of the drives I mentioned is preferable to the other two?
Thanks again

Photoshop 100% 72dpi is too small on Mac Retina Display

I see a lot of threads about this.
Well, the other day I actually had a tech from Adobe on the line, and after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, he admitted, "It's a Photoshop issue".
Apparently they are looking into it, just not quick enough. It is unfortunate because it seriously affects our ability to work effectively in Photoshop as you don't get the mostly accurate visual sizing.
We can only hope... Come on Adobe, FIX IT!!!

I am going to explain this one more time, it is also clear that some are not understanding my question, as I am making comparisons that are relevant, not just saying why is my Photoshop image soooo small...
My question is, at 72dpi image, why is the image smaller in Photoshop than what it displays in the browser, both at 100%. So you are not answering my question, I am comparing the same image, at 100% in Photoshop to Chrome, Safari, Firefox... and in Photoshop the image is significantly smaller.
Before, on previous Macs, the Photoshop image, at 100%, was similar to the same image, at 100%, in Chrome, Safari, Firefox.
So, since the retina display came out, Photoshop has an issue, but not my Chrome, Safari, Firefox? And everyone is saying it's the retina display even though it did not affect Chrome, Safari or Firefox?
NOTE to twenty_one - if Photoshop is displaying at 100%, one pixel is represented by one screen pixel, then Chrome, Safari and Firefox are representing them at 2 screen pixels. Right, as the image is double the size on screen? Plus, in Chrome, Safari, Firefox the image are super clear.
NOTE to Semaphoric - Never said we've had retina display since the 90s but your obvious frustration must have made you assume what I wrote. Not very nice.

Can I ask apple store to replace my MBP with Retina display? because I have the ghosting issue with it!

I bought my MBP with Retina display less than two months ago and now I have this problem which the ghost of the application that was open, remains on the background.
I took the device to apple store and they decide to change a harware of it!! now I just feel like it is no going to be repaired.
just wanna know despite that 14 days of purchase date has passed, can I ask apple to replace the whole device and give me a new one or not!

you can ask them, but they are not obligated to fulfill your request. They are obligated to fix any issues related to defective craftsmanship as long as your mac is under warranty however.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.
