Apeture for RAW photos on Macbook Pro retina?

My Macbook Pro 15" 2011 was stolen and I planned to replace it with the MacBook Pro 13" retina simply because liked the smaller size - but then discovered that the graphics card was not the same.  I edit my RAW photos on Aperture. 
Will I be doing the waiting game with a 13" or should I stick to the 15"?  I was going to buy the top of the range 13" but will only be able to afford the mid range retina 15".  (older versions of the macbook pro i.e. non retina macbook are no longer available new in South Africa)
Currently I am using my old 2008 iMac (which I upgraded as much as possible) and find that I spend lots of time 'watching the wheel' when I process several photos one after the other.

Given that the Retina has a HDMI native port, that should be the first to try. No adapters, no dongles, just a plain old straight cable. Only reason to go different would be that the display and the Mac couldn't reach an agreement for optimal viewing.
That is, provided the display has an HDMI input.

  • Any remedy for eye strain using macbook pro retina?

    since purchasing a macbook pro retina display around 33 weeks ago I'm getting major eye strain from using it and I'm not talking excessively,only an hour or two at a time,trying reducing the brightness but still no better,anybody else had success with this problem?as i know others have had same issue

    I can only tell you my experience after having used the anti-glare screen for over 5 years.  I can sit in front of my laptop for hours without any adverse effects.  I passed on the retina Macbook Pro because it seems like an abomination not to offer such a beautiful screen in anti-glare format.  The retina is less glossy than the regular screen, but nowhere close to the anti-glare in comfort (for me, at least).
    I would check with her doctor, too.  It may actually be that a screen with a smaller native resolution is better for her.

    If it's a unibody Mac from late 2008, then the left hand side towards the top is where the primary fan is for the CPU/Video Card/Main Chipset is.  This part can get hot if you are running something that's pegging your CPU or is graphic intensive (game, video encoding, etc.)
    On the bottom towards the left hand side where your wrist is, is the connection for the battery.  If it's getting hot at this lower left hand side, maybe it could be a failing battery.
    Take a look at this page for the teardown of the late 2008 MBP 15".  http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Teardown/590/1
    If your MBP is an early 2008 model, look at this page.  http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22_Core_2_Duo_Models_A1226_and_A1260
    According to http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .4-15-early-2008-penryn-specs.html on the model, it is the early one. If so, then it seems like it is the video card that is getting hot as shown in http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/CRBYPZtYRqpWYY4O.large and

  • HT3231 Trouble transferring Office for Mac onto new Macbook Pro Retina

    I just transferred Office 2011 from my old MacBookPro to a new MacBookPro w/ Retina but it says "The Office for Mac installation did not complete successfully because there was a problem with the installer.  To fix the issue please reinstall Office for Mac."  My original installation of Office was via a disk with an enclosed Product Key.  The new MacBook doesn't have a DVD drive.  Can I just download a new copy of Office and use the old Product Key or is there another solution??

    Yes as Kappy points out or you could make a DMG of the Office DVD and copy that over to your new MBPr. Or you could buy an external DVD drive and it does not have to be an Apple brand DVD drive. Any USB external DVD drive will work. Best to get one that is Tray Load instead of the Slot load that Apple uses.

  • A new update is out for Macbook pro retina but my laptop says no updates available??

    Please advise as to how I can get the new update for wifi on my Macbook Pro Retina 13".  My laptop says I'm up to date and no updates are available but I did not get this new update that was released just a few days ago?  Please advise????

    Before applying any update, backup your data at least twice:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    Next check if you can download the update from http://support.apple.com/downloads/?val=MacBook+Pro#?val=macbook pro.  If it isn't there, then it probably doesn't apply to your machine.  Double check with the local authorized service center that it is necessary.

  • Macbook pro retina early 2013 vs macbook air 2013

    I currently have a macbook air 2013 edition  13" with the 1.3ghz haswell chip and 4gb of ram and 128gb flash storage.
    Which would be better for me to keep this macbook air or swap for a early 2013 macbook pro retina with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd +200 dollars
    In gereral which do you think would be the better choice.
    Thanks

    It would appear  that the retina would be a good deal.
    Do you know the other party?
    You run the risk of getting a lemon and paying $200 plus your MBA.

  • White line appears on macbook pro retina

    When i minimized windows the white thin line appears on the screen. The line disappear right away.
    This is a big concern for me because my macbook pro retina 13' is still pretty new.
    How can i solve this problem ?
    I got my macbook late Sept 2013.

    Take a picture of the phenomenon and then make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  Presumably your MBP is still in the warranty period and have the technicians evaluate and fix the problem.  Use the picture as evidence so they fully understand what the problem is.

  • Macbook pro Retina 16GB Ram, Install Windows 8 Problem

    I cant install windows 8 in 32 or 64 bit on my macbook pro retina with 16 GB of RAM
    The instalation progran wont let me install windows on the bootcam partition it appears to be a problem with the MBR Partition Table  on EFI System and windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

    Hey,
    if you use windows 8 also for gaming on windows, i would wait until bootcamp is been suitable for windows 8 because for gaming it is much better to do it with bootcamp because Parallels, Fusion etc. are making a detour to use windows ( definately not good for games that score high on graphics).
    If you use windows only for utility programs, it is definitely easier to use Parallels 8 etc.
    I hope I could help you!
    sorry for eventually bad english

  • MacBook Pro Retina retained image policy

    There are many reports of the MacBook Pro Retina suffering from a retained image, a ghost image, it slowly fades but is a real nuisance especially when doing graphics work - something Macs are meant to be good for. Certainly my MacBook Pro Retina has the issue and it appears to be getting worse though that may just be because it is annoying me.
    Anyway, my question is whether Apple have any clear policy on handling this?
    Thanks.

    At this moment, Apple doesn't have any replacement program for the MacBook Pro with Retina display, mainly because all of the MacBooks Pro with Retina display are in warranty at this moment, so Apple will repair or replace the damaged Macs for free.
    Normally, if the problem shows up during the first 14 days after the purchase of the MacBook Pro, Apple will give you a new MacBook Pro. If it happens after, they will just put a new display. This problem is caused because of some defective displays, but this problem is being fixed just because Apple is installing different displays from a different manufacturer than the one that provided defective displays for the MacBook Pro with Retina display

  • Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

    At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
    Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

    This is what we need:
    Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D  Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
    CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
    My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
    the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
    the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D  Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
    We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
    The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
    Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
    The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
    'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)'
    & another message saying:
    'the disk was not ejected properly'.
    So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
    Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
    So, in summary:
    the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
    the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
    From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
    Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

  • When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen.  How do I fix this??

    Hi Everyone,
    This problem just started today.  When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user).  This suddenly started today and has not stopped since.  This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
    Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday.  When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates.  Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again.  So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process). 
    Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
    -Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
    -OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
    -iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
    -OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
    -iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
    -Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
    I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each?  Or is this new problem totally unrelated?  It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
    My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now.  The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
    If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful! 
    Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide. 
    hope everyone is well,
    Elaine

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • MST Support for MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - DisplayPort 1.2 - Will it ever happen? (with sources)

    So back in October, I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina (MBPr), fully loaded with top of the line specs.  I was soooo excited to have Thunderbolt 2 tech which Intel AND Apple describes as having DisplayPort 1.2a compatibility - which up to this point is unfortunately NOT the case.  The point of the information/questions and requests in this article is to engage a conversation about the issues of not having MST support after Apple falsely mislead their consumers to think otherwise - especially when it is clear the MBPr is capable.  Please read on...
    Apple advertises that the Thunderbolt 2 ports on BOTH the MBPr and the new Mac Pro (NMP) will have 4K Display support with the famed 20gb/sec Ports (DisplayPort 1.2 only requires a little above 17gb/sec).  Now that the 10.9.1 update has been released, we have failed to see MST or Multi-Stream Transport enabled on the MBPr Late 2013.  Now, as for the New Mac Pro- it DOES have MST enabled in 10.9.1 with the AMD GPUs.  For all of you out there that's questioning what this means, short answer is basically the Mac Pro will be able to power a 4K Monitor at 60Hz through the Thunderbolt 2 Port but the New MBPr is stuck with only HDMI 1.4 support which tops out at 4K 30Hz. 30Hz is unacceptable for anything but movies or a photo slideshow.  At 30Hz the cursor will jump across the screen, eliminating any of the benefits of 4K.
    BUT it gets worse...
    Apple can be seen advertising that the new MBPr 15" model can power a 4K monitor THROUGH the Thunderbolt 2 Port here: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt - This article quotes the following:
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Does this not let the consumer assume that the newest MBPr will be able to drive a 4K display through the Thunderbolt 2 Port?  I would say yes it does, but at the time I wrote this, the TB2 Ports can't power a 4K display because, as previously stated, MST is disabled in Mavericks for the 15" MBPr Late 2013.
    NOW, later on Apple posted the following article on 4K support here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    4K support on the MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013)
    MacBook Pro supports 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs at the following resolutions and refresh rates with the built-in HDMI port:
    3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
    4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
    In the article above the New Mac Pro is listed as having support for a 4K Display with the Thunderbolt 2 Port (or MST DisplayPort 1.2a Technology) at 60Hz with no problem.  This leads myself and many others to believe that MST will NEVER be enabled on the newest MacBook Pro Retina with Nvidia GPUs. Yes, 4K IS supported but ONLY through the HDMI 1.4 port, which has the limitation of only 30hz.  This two-faced advertising is extremely upsetting to a LOT of people, including myself.
    Interestingly enough, THIS IS NOT a hardware issue.  If one ventures into Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp and connects a 4K Display via the Thunderbolt 2 (or through DP1.2) Port, the Display registers at 60Hz, thus proving that the Thundberbolt 2 Hub Controller is completely capable of MST DisplayPort functionality.  Clearly this a driver issue with Apple, Nvidia or Intel or any combination.  What Apple has done here is forcing any professional that desires stable and clear 4K technology through their MacBook Pro Retina to do so only using Windows 8.1 on their own machines!  Definitely an oxymoron if you ask me...
    Later on when the Mac Pro was ready for ordering, Apple placed the Sharp PN-K321 as a compatible option for a 4K Display.  On the Store page featuring the (over three thousand dollar) Sharp 4K display, located here http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321-4k-ultra-hd-led-mon itor?fnode=53 Apple states the following:
    "Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013)."
    All of that being said, and I'm terribly sorry for my wordy ranting...
    This brings me to a final two requests to ANYONE reading this post:
    a) Has anyone working with the new 10.9.2 Beta Update seen evidence that DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities will be enabled for the new MacBook Pro Retina (Nvidia 750M) with the promised "Graphics Driver Updates" within the next Mavericks update?
    and
    b) To others that purchased or were/are thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro Retina with TB2 Ports: If you are just as upset as me about this crushing blow to consumers that just purchased a $3,000 laptop that were promised something that wasn't delivered - I urge you please, write to Apple and let them know they are making a mistake.  You can do this though the support page or through http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Thank you for your precious time, and if anyone has anything to contribute to this issue, please jump in....

    GOOD NEWS!
    The Mavericks 10.9.3 update adds official support for Thunderbolt 2, 4K!
    I'm not sure if you will be able to daisy chain anything to the 4K display.  I've read that the design of Thunderbolt 2 includes support for DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream (MST), which allows this type of daisy chaining with 4K, but we don't know if Apple has this supported on it's machines.  Apparently it's been buggy in development because the graphics driver needs to work correctly with the Thunderbolt 2 host controller.  I'm sure they will work it out if they haven't already.
    The above is all via found information on this topic, but you can follow some more discussion here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1713876
    One more note on Thunderbolt worth sharing: always keep your fastest peripherals closer to the computer in the chain. If you have a TB1 device directly connected to the computer, anything further down the chain will be limited to TB1 speed/capability regardless of it's native speed.  Always connect TB2 devices first, and save anything TB1 for the end of the chain.
