Can i expand the SSD on my late 2012 Retina Macbook Pro from the current 128GB to 256GB or more?

You can look here to see if they have anything available for your model, but be advised even opening a Retina voids the warranty.

Late 2013 retina macbook pro drops thunderbolt ethernet cyclically

My new (late 2013) retina macbook pro drops the wired ethernet connection many times a day. Each time killing off all VPN and ssh sessions. This is using the apple thunderbolt to gigE adapter.
This is the second thunderbolt adapter I've received from Apple. Both do the same thing.
Here's my console log filtered on "Link". It's a continuous series of link up/link down messages.
Same problem on both thunderbolt ports too.

Oops, no idea where the mountainlion thing came from. cut&paste error I expect, but , yes, you are correct, mavericks 10.9.2
I'm about to that point, but it's going to be hard for them to diagnose because it's so random. I'll go in there, it'll work, then we'll stand around staring at eachother for a bit.
Then they'll say, you have to reload your OS from scratch and I'll say "but I just did that" and that will be it.
Maybe that's a bit overly cynical, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope for the 3 hours time suck that a trip to the mother ship.

Can I wirelessly display the screen of my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro to a Thunderbolt display ?

Can I wirelessly display (like via bluetooth) the screen of my 15 inch, late 2013, Retina Macbook Pro, to a thunderbolt display ?

They can fix it, but not for free. Macbook repairs supposedly are classified into 3 tiers by an Apple Rep, I for least amount of damage and III for most. I have a dent in the corner of my MBP and it would require new housing to get it fixed. $450 (tier I) or ~half the cost of a Macbook Air on education discount... HA.
If it doesn't affect your everyday computing, I wouldn't worry about it. It's awful, but welcome to the club

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again? Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion.
Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way. I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow. Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way. Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro - ODD SEVERE POWER ISSUE?

My late 2013 retina macbook pro 13" was on safari (on battery, not plugged in) and then the screen went black. The screen went back on, then back to black, then back on, then the Macbook shut off completely.
Then, it tried rebooting twice, both failing to get past a gray screen and startup tone / chime before turning off for good. Now it won't turn on besides you seeing a gray screen and barely hearing the chime before it turning straight off again.
Any suggestions would be great! I have important files that are for a deadline within a couple days!

Try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, take it to the Genius Bar. You're under warranty.
You want the section "for a battery you should not remove yourself".

Late 2013 retina MacBook Pro constantly restarting when in sleep mode

So I just got my brand new specced out retina MacBook Pro in the mail last night. I began setting it up but didn't finish before I had to go to bed. I left it with the screen closed (and assumed it would go into sleep mode soon after), an external hard drive hooked up, and plugged into the power adapter, and went to bed. During the night, it woke me up perhaps 10 times or so by making the startup sound and spinning up the external drive. The only time a Mac makes that sound is when it starts up, so as far as I can tell, it kept crashing during the night (presumably from trying to wake to do stuff in power nap mode), starting up, going to sleep, and repeating the cycle. When I turned it on in the morning, it gave me a message saying that it restarted due to a sleep to wake failure. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix it? Is the laptop defective? Or is it a software issue? Should I take it into an Apple store to figure it out?

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

I just bought a macbook pro from the store and it has the demo program on it, the store told me to reboot system to factory settings how do I do this?

can any one help me with this please!

Bring it back to the Applestore, have them take care of it for you.

Could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

I think MBPs stopped coming with Snow Leopard installed as of the late-2011 models. That's when OS X Lion started being pre-installed on MBPs. Some earlier MBP models (2010, early-2011) had a firmware update to allow Internet Recovery (command+option+r) which would allow a reinstall of OS X Lion (purchased from the App Store) with the purchaser's AppleID/password.
I don't believe SL would even install on a 2012 MBP.

Photoshop cc laggy in late 2013 retina Macbook Pro

Hello Community
i bought late 2013 retina macbook pro,
and installed photoshop cc,
it is abnormally laggy.
by that i mean, even a small psd file, empty canvas, small brush, when i draw a line, it is laggy.
I suppose it is a driver problem
anybody has same problem?
and is there any solution?

Hi guys,
Ive posted a fairly similar topic today. On my new Macbook pro retina 13" with 2.6Ghz, 8GB RAM and 256SSD CS6 was abnormally slow and laggy when editing files that my 8 year old laptop handled perfectly.
I noticed that when I removed my wacom tablet and edited with the trackpad or a mouse the lag went away! The mpb was snappy and responsive when editing the file. \
My guess is that the wacom drivers arent updated for retina macs and they cause some sort of malfunction with photoshop.
Ill keep you guys updated if i find something better.

The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
Any further assistance will be appreciated

Can i expand the SSD on my late 2012 Retina Macbook Pro from the current 128GB to 256GB or more
