After are all the UI lags and stuff on the Retina Macbook Pro, is it worth getting it ? I mean is apple going to upgrade it ? EVER?

I am seriously freaking confused, i just want a good laptop that will be worth keeping for 4-5 years to come, so will apple ever fix the UI lag ? because i bought one, and after experiencing it, i returned it ! I need a laptop ASAP but i love the screen and quickness of the retina macbook pro but, scrolling and gestures lag on it , I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO Please do help/join in.

Well they already changed the logic board on mine and reinstalled the OS several times.
Works fine on Lion oddly enough, Mountain Lion screwes everything up.
Really want the extra features of ML though....
Windows works fine too! lol.

I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone?

I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone? I tried synchronising my iPhone to the MacPro but then lost all the content on the iPhone. I managed to get it back using the restore. This means the only content I have for Address Book and iCal sits on my iPhone!

Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices???

Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices?? e.g. is it worthwhile for a standalone iMac??

There's a million places on the 'net where you can find opinons on that (have a look here, for example http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/08/01/os-x-lion-10-7-%E2%80%94-the-jurys-verdict / ) and at least several long running threads on this forum too dealing with various opinions.
As for me, I've reverted to Snow Leopard.

You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

Is it normal for the retina macbook pro screen to wobble?

I have a retina macbook pro 13inch 2014 version. Whenever i play the laptop on a flat surface for the first time it wobbles a bit. Is it normal for the screen to wobble a bit while placing it on a flat surface? After that initial wobble there is no wobble.

No, that is not normal. There could be some problem with the screen.
As it is still under warranty, why not go to an Apple Shop and ask them about the problem?

For the 2012 Macbook Pro 13" should I get the 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 or the 2.9GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7?

I am a high school student and I am getting my first Macbook Pro. I am not really sure which 13 inch Macbook Pro model I should get. My budget is kind of tight, but I think that I can afford any one of the models but I dont want to spend any money that I dont have to spend. Usually on a day to day basis, I use the web brower, watch movies that I have downloaded, and write a lot of papers. I also sometimes use Photoshop, and while I do not play a lot of games, I do want to have the option if I decide to later when I go to college. The larger hard drive size on the Core i7 model does not really matter to me because I dont plan using more than 500GB. I will be upgrading the ram to 8GB if I get the Core i5 model and it comes standard on the i7. Also, I need this computer to last me for 3-4 years so I want something that will still seem relatively fast a few years down the road. Lastly, while I would prefer getting the Macbook Pro due to its cheaper price and ability to upgrade the hard drive later, I also am considering the Macbook Air Core i7 model, mainly because of the faster ssd and the higher resolution screen. I dont really use the optical drive, so loosing it would not be a big deal. The same goes with the Firewire port or the Ethernet port. What would you guys suggest I get. A Macbook Pro or a Air and if the Pro, should I get the Core i5 or the i7?
Thanks

If you're planning on keeping it for long term.
Go with the i7 2.9GHz.
It's a $300 difference but with that you get; the RAM, Hard Drive and Processor upgrade.
Since you want it to last before you decide to either upgrade or buy a new one. The i7 2.9GHz is a good choice.
Do remember that Mountain Lion is around the corner and other software get's updated to and wants more CPU power and more memory.
Nothing is wrong with the i5 2.5GHz either. You'll just have to upgrade the RAM sooner in case 4GB isn't enough for you.
Put it this way:
i5 2.5GHz has 3MB L3 Cache Memory
i7 2.9GHz has 4MB L3 Cache Memory
Now, you're also thinking about the MB Air, a very nice notebook which is light, portable and has a better resolution than the MB Pro 13 inch. You have to however, keep in mnd that the RAM and Hard Drive in the MB Air is not user upgradeable and has no optical drive.

After backing up the 2008 macbook pros harddrive the iphoto pictures are all gone!

A third party company made a backup of my 2008 Macbook pro by taKing the hard drive out of my 2008 macbook pro the videocard broke and i had nochange to do the backup by my own :( so i needed to go somewhere specialized and i paid 125$ for getting the conete harddrive backed up including all my photos music documents. After all the repairs from apples side were done i felt that the harddrive sounded kind of bad so i went back to the apple store and they told me they have to replace the hardrive and if i have an backup which i thought i had, so that was 2 days ago. As i got my macbook pro back from Apple i brought it to thd place who made my backup. All was saved on their extrernal hardrive but all my photos (iphoto) are gone :( they cannot find them anymore on the drive Nd they couldn't do anything for me :( now my macbook is fixed but all my memmories i kept as pictures are gone and i spent 125$ for a backing up my pictures and now they are all gone :( is there anybody out there who may can halp me tell me what to try ? Maybe my old harddrive where did apple sent it to? May i can get it back or could it be on the. Backup drive but under the library or iphoto folders are just some pictures :( like 500 . But there is one corrupt file which i also cannot open :(
I need help :( thank you

1. Reinstalling iPhoto has no effect on your photos. The iPhoto application is totally seperate from your iPhoto library
2. Is you backed up correctly and restored correctly nothing would change
3. Given your report it is clear that you dopi somethinfpg incorrectly. However since you do not tell how you backed up or how you restored it is impossible to guess what you did wrong or if itpt is possible to fix
4. Exactly step by step howvdid you back up your iPhoto library and exactly how did you restore it?
5. Do you have a TimeMachine backup or clone of your iPhoto library from before you did this?
6. What version of iPhoto '11? There are many different versions

Adobe Premiere CC Crashes ALL the Time (Macbook Pro)

Hi all-
I've been working in Premiere for a few weeks and lately it has started to crash every 2 to 3 minutes, making it impossible to work. Here are my computer specs
Macbook Pro (15 inch, late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
OS X 10.9.4
I've tried
1) dumping the render files,
2) re-installing premiere
3) changing the video rendering and playback with all options
4) updating the NVIDIA CUDA driver.
None of this has worked and I'm fresh out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Can the Retina MacBook Pro Handle Itself?

Hey everyone,
I'm about to order a R-MBP. One of the reasons I am hesitant to order though is because I've heard rumors that the hardward isn't good enough to handle all the power needed for pushing the huge high quality display. Specifically, I've heard that the HD4000 and 650M are not meant to do it and that going to websites like facebook cause FPS to shoot down to ~18-20 FPS. Is this true or not?
Thanks!

the screen resolution indeed does not run at 2880x1800, thus fps for regulare apps isn't an issue, but those games (namely SC2) may use the full resolution, Civ 5 I'm not sure about if it uses that resolution or not.
(in fact, the system won't let you use the full resolution for the desktop, everything would be entirely too small if it was-- there is a 3rd party app or two that can probalby do it, but it would be silly to)
If fps in those games are not to your satisfaction, you can always run at a lower res--it'll still look very good.

How long does it take for the Retina Macbook Pro screen to "burn-in"?

This might be a stupid question, but bare with me.
I left my Macbook Pro Retina Display 13 inch sit on my desk for probably about an hour and a half (maybe more, maybe less). When i left i didn't close the lid because i thought it would go to sleep by itself. However. it didn't. For that whole time the screen was on at roughly half brightness. Is this an issue? In that period of time could the screen have "burned-in"?

I guess the answer is another question: did it burn in?
If you can't see the image that was on the screen during that period when something else is on the screen, then it didn't. It's not good practice to leave it that way if you can shut it down or put the screen to sleep but I think another variable is how bright you set the screen to operate and half brightness isn't very bright, which is a good thing.

How do I automatically log the battery percentage and time on my Retina Macbook Pro to an excel spreadsheet? (OSX 10.9.4)

Hello! So I own a 13" rMBP, and I'm running OSX 10.9.4.
How do I log my battery percentage with the date, probably down to the hour, preferably to an Excel file?
I want to track the rate at which my battery discharges, so that in the future I can compare the present rate of discharge with the past and see exactly how much my battery has deteriorated by. I'll take averages over long periods of time to account for, e.g. the fact that watching Netflix drains my battery faster than editing an essay. I also want a solution that uses negligible power in the background.
I've spent hours looking for an app that both calculates the rate of discharge and keeps all data, but I haven't found any. Eventually I decided that hopefully it isn't too difficult to write an AppleScript or something that simply logs the system clock and battery percentage in tandem every hour or so.
Thank you for your time!
Herman

What Barney said.
Here is the script to create a CSV text file with
Date
Time
Current Battery Percentage as an integer
#!/bin/bash
batterycsv="$HOME/battery.csv"
export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=never"
# if you want the percentage sign too, exclude the second egrep
battpct=$(pmset -g ps | egrep -o "(\d+)%" | egrep -o "\d+")
datetime=$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $datetime $battpct >> $batterycsv
Output on a fully charged MacBook Air to battery.csv will be individual lines of the following format:
2014-08-09,19:49,100
