Are you able to upgrade the mSata drive on Model Number: A1502 13 in. Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

Have been trying to find info on upgrading the mSata drive on my Mac but some people say it is possible as others say its not. Wondering if anyone else can provide their own input. I am looking at the Samsung 840evo 500 GB mSata drive and want to know if its compatible.
Thank you

Its possible to replace it yes.   Its not easy, as you have to dissasemble the MacBook to get to it.
The drive you want is not compatible.  The drive in current 2014 MacBoock Pro´s is not even a Sata type drive.  Its a PCie Blade type drive.

    Yes,  You may also need an ethernet cable.

  • I am trying to find the best all in one printer for my macbook pro with retina display. Any ideas?

    I need something that doesn't require a disk for setup.

    Based upon your criteria an HP 100 Envy all in one would fit. The drivers are downloaded from Apple.

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • I have purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display, but it will not arrive within 30 days of my purchase. Does this mean I will not be able to update the software to Mountain Lion?

    As already stated, I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display. It will arrive in 4-5 weeks so I don't assume it will arrive in less than 30 days. I would like to know wheather I will still be entitled to a free softwere update to the Mountain Lion. The laptop will ofcourse be completely new and recently purchased, so it would be very disappointing if I am not entitled to this update. Please let me know if you know anything about this or have any assuptions. Thank you

    You can call apple if you need reassurance, but they will not turn you down on the free upgrade just because you have not received your computer by day 30.

  • So, my Macbook Pro with retina display only prints in black and white. My printer, officejet 4620 series [555DE4], is not the problem. I want to know how to be able to print in color as well??

  • HT3986 Whats about the Wifi driver for win7 on MacBook pro with Retina Display?

    Hi guys
    I have a MacBook pro with retina display.
    I've tried to install win 7 64 bit with boot camp.
    Win 7 works but I have now Wifi connection and I can't find any solution
    I can't use the automatic search function from win7 because I can't  use LAN because I have no LAN connection in this Mac.
    So can anybody help me with this problem?

    Did you download and install the Windows support software. The first menu option when running Bootcamp Assistant was to download the Windows Support software.
    If you did download and install the Windows Support Software and wifi still does not work for you, consult Windows help files for how to set up wifi.

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.
    Ciao.

  • Hi just wondering, i live in ireland but i am planning to buy a macbook pro with retina display in america, will applecare purchased in ireland still cover the macbook from america, thank you

    hi just wondering, i live in ireland but i am planning to buy a macbook pro with retina display in america, will applecare purchased in ireland still cover the macbook from america, thank you

    Yes. Apple care is associated with the serial number, and stays with the machine even if you where to sell the machine before the Apple care expires.

  • MacBook Pro with Retina Display Upgradable?

    Hello,
    I plan on purchasing a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, but was wondering if I could be able to upgrade it's memory or flash memory in the Apple Store in the future?
    Thank you!

    I bought after-market ssd's for Macbook Air's from OWC. Those ssd's do not fit into the Retina MBP. I'm guessing OWC will come up with some after-market options but they will be expensive and given that you can already order a 768 directly from Apple, they would have to generate very sizable ssd's to sell them - likely way to expensive. The built-in ssd's in the Retina are supposed to have excellent performance. I ordered one with a 768 myself but these units have not shipped for the most part. I'm guessing supplies of the 768 are limited right now, or at least backlogged. All that is not terribly helpful but may add to the question asked.

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • Does the macbook pro with retina display get heated?

    Hi I want to buy a macbook pro with retina display and i want to know more informations about it...like:-
    1-does it get heated.
    2-can I play any game without buying graphics chip.
    3-does it run 64-bit download.
    4-can order it with a CD slot.
    5-can i upgrade to a new graphics chip.
    6-if i will need a graphics chip what will i need it for.

    1.  It will if you run heavy-graphics processing such as HD-movie streaming or gaming.  But the system should shut itself down instead of overheating. And if you keep the system on a flat hard surface (rather than on bedsheets), it should be able to keep itself cool enough to not overheat.
    2. Any, no.  Many more than a 13 in that only has integrated gragpics chip in CPU, yes.
    3. Not sure what you mean.
    4. No.  You need an external optical drive.
    5. No upgrades, not even RAM or flash storage.
    6. Simple internet only requires basic graphics processing.  Streaming HD movies from NetFlix requires faster graphics response.  Gaming requires faster graphics response.  Faster graphics response requires a better graphics chip than the one integrated into the CPU, one with its own RAM.

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

  • Connecting my macbook pro with retina display after upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion

    I have been using my macbook pro with retina display for more than a month and I can connect it to my HD Television, Fine. But since I upgraded my OS to mountain Lion, I can no longer connect it to my television.  Did apple missed something with mountain lion? I know there is nothing wrong with my connection, so something is wrong with the new mountain lion OS.  Can people from APPLE help me?

    No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum. I don't have a Retina but if you could let us know how you were connecting (HDMI>HDMI, for example) perhaps someone will be able to help you out.
