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

The screen's hinge is uneven Retina macbook pro

Well this is pretty OCD but when I paid as much for the computer as I did, I expect it to be perfect.
Ive only just notcied this, and I have bumped into a door fram with my mac and have put a tiny knock on the edge of the back of the screen.
Currently the higne sits about a millimetre to the left, and is off centred. The contact point between the black hinge and the body on the left hand side is very snuge, while the right side is like I said a mil off touching each other
So far there is no problem with the hinge catching and no noises, so all is good. But i would rather it sitting perfecty. Apart from pulling it apart, is there any other way i can get to move it back to the centre?
on a side note: My mac also experienced creaking from the unibody and I had to visit to a repair shop for macs to get them to tighten the screws (which fixed the problem)

So if it's not perfect return it.

I have a retina MacBook Pro, and a thunderbolt display. I've noticed that randomly when docking to the display (I close my laptop screen) my Launchpad layout will randomly reset. It isn't consistent, and i'm not sure why this is happening!

This is very annoying because I really enjoy using launchpad. I have a lot of applications in there and I hate having to reorganize everything. I messed with a third party application before to backup/restore my launchpad layout, but it had some issues with Mountain Lion so I ditched it. Any thoughts?

Threads are just processes that link together like the threads in these discussions, well, maybe that is a bad example given how disjointed these get
It looks like you are not pushing the cpu or hard drive enough to cause your behavior. Not sure what the temperature limit on that cpu is, on the newer models it is around 100-110 °C which is notciabley hot, and the system shutsdown for self protection at the thermal limit.
You could be hitting a thermal limit causing that behavior...so do you see good behavior at lower load levela on the system? Does this only happen with when you are under the high graphic loads?
Trying to zero in on when this occurs to see if we an isolate the problem.

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

Has the new Early 2013 Retina Macbook Pro still lag and display issues?

Hello. I've never had a Mac before and I'm thinking of buying the new "early 2013" 15-inch (2.7 Ghz, 16Gb Ram, $2799) Retina Macbook Pro. I live in Argentina but I'm going to NYC in a couple of weeks and I want to get one there. The thing is, that I can not be returning it 2 or 3 times like I read a lot of peple had to, because I'll be coming back home after 2 weeks and here they will only fix it, not replace it for a new one, and that could take months.
So, I want to know if you guys can help me decide if I should go for it or not, if these image retention and burn in and ui lag issues appear to be fixed with this new model or if it is still the same. If I don't buy this one I'll be getting the new Samsung Series 7 Chronos they showed in CES 2013, still not available in the market. Thanks a lot!

I just checked and I have the LG SJA2, too. I didn't notice any Image retention at first, I tested it with the chessboard test for 5 or 6 minutes, it showed no IR. But with 10 minutes I can see a bit of IR. Nothing that can affect the normal use of the computer, I mean I have to put the chessboard for 10 minutes and then change to grey to notice it, but it does exist and is the SJA2 from LG. If it doesn't get worst, I think it doesn't even matter. I just hope it doesn't get worst.
FWIW, I noticed that until I stopped looking at the chessboard before it switched; my eyes had image retention. But in that awfully long thread on the subject, some have insisted that if it's an LG, it's trouble so I guess there's no guarantee. (BTW, I was writing this when you tried the test again - ocular image retention?)
Not to hijack the thread, but shortly after I posted that "good news" about SJA2, my rMBP simply refused to start at all; it was totally inert. Charging, not charging, SMC reset, nothing helped. Tech support's only solution was bring it in to be fixed.
On a hunch, and remembering something about magnets in the top of the display activating a reed switch in the base, probably near the trackpad, I lifted the front of the Mac about 1/4" inch and let it drop. Bingo! The Mac has operated properly so far. I suspect the reed switch was stuck in the wrong position, and some evidence suggests it was that way out of the box and my fix corrected it.

After updating Firefox today I can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen with two fingers on my MacBook Pro touch pad. The feature still works on antother browser. Anyone know why?

Can no longer enlarge or shrink the screen.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

How can I find out the original UK price of an older MacBook Pro*

I need to find out the original UK cost of a specific older model macbook pro. This is because I had mine stolen the other day and the insurance company are going to give me a percentage of the original cost. As I bought mine used I don't know the original price, but I don't want to get short changed! by my insurance company.
Any help would be greatly apreciated,

well, you can go go everymac.com - click on year - then select the year you macbook pro was - from there - click on the model that corresponds to the one you lost - go all the way to the bottom to see the original selling price and convert it to your currently.
see example on the image below for me 2010 Macbook Air.

The thunderbolt firmware 1.2 update keeps reappearing. I have a MacBook Pro and 2011 Thunderbolt display. Did not discionnect when upgrading to Yosemite (only read the instructions later). Thanks.

Hi There,
I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) and a Thundertbolt Display. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then Thunderbolt Firmware update 1.2 keeps reappearing and I cannot complete the update (with and without display connected etc.). Any advice? Thanks.

Hello HTG65,
If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing try reinstalling it following the steps in this article.
Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing and Thunderbolt ports and Target Display Mode may not work - Apple Support
To resolve this issue:
Shutdown your computer.
Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
Wait 10 seconds.
If you are using a Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, reconnect the Thunderbolt display directly to your computer via the Thunderbolt port. Do not connect other Thunderbolt devices at this time.
Restart your computer.
If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 is offered, download and install it and restart your computer when asked. If the Thunderbolt Update is not offered, the update has installed correctly.
Reconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
Take care,
Nubz

Slow Wi-Fi on Macbook Pro running through Thunderbolt display

Hi there,
Im having issues with a new thunderbolt display. When my macbook is connected to the thunderbolt display im getting download speeds of 6.83. But when using the macbook on its own, not connected to the display, in the same room im getting download speeds of 19.24 according to speedtest.net
I have the virgin media super hub which is located downstairs. The macbook and display are upstairs.
I can't understand why theres such a difference in speeds just because im connected to the display. Can anyone help??
Nick.

I'm having the same issue. I can unplug the thunderbolt cable from the laptop and get speeds at least 10x faster (without moving the laptop at all). But when it's plugged into the display, it's slow (at times it is semi-usable but it drops in and out, which isn't usable).
I have tried disabling the display ethernet, setting the display ethernet below wi-fi in service order, and switching wireless networks (I have 2.4 and 5GHz setup, on separate devices). I have another laptop that performs just fine as well (each laptop uses a separate wifi network).
I saw something state that 10.8.1 beta testers were asked to test audio and wifi while connected to a thunderbolt display. Too bad I'm also on 10.8.2 and it appears broken still (again?).
I'd love to hear solutions because I can't currently run a cable to the display (in the future I will but that's the next project).

MacBook Pro 13" and Thunderbolt Display Question

I am considering purchasing a 13" MacBook Pro to use with the Thunderbolt display. I do a fair amount of photoshop work and am concerned that the lack of a dedicated video card and the dual-core as opposed to quad core in the 15" will be a limiting factor. I would be purchasing the i7 with 8GB of ram in the 13". Has anyone used this combination (Thunderbolt and i7 13" Pro) for Photoshop, and how has it performed?
Thanks!

Thank you for your response, I will definitely way that option more heavily. I was hoping to be able to accommodate the 13" form factor. As a student I bring my computer everywhere so the smaller size would have been nice.
I
f I may waste a tad more of your time, is the reason behind the GPU and quad core because of photoshop or the 27" monitor in general? The only reason I ask is that I am only a casual photoshop user so that alone may not sway me, but if powering the thunderbolt display is of a concern for the lesser device then the decision becomes much easier.
Sorry to ask so many questions, I know a decent about computers but I am not too familiar with the thunderbolt adaptor and as such am not sure how that interacts with the GPU and such.
Thanks again!

WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple and common task of watching/listening to discs.

I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

Can't install maverick on my wiped out late 2013 retina macbook pro. Please help.

So, i decided to install windows 8.1 alongside mavericks on the mac and tried using bootcamp which failed, so i manually created a partiton using disk utility which worked, later i decided to create a shared partition so windows and mac could share files on the harddrive. i decided to format the drive in windows which i thought worked well, until i had to restart the computer only to realise it had completely wiped out my mac os x and recovery partition. Ive tried everything possible, even have a bootable maverick available on usb, yet everytime i choose the maverick setup to install using the (option) button it shows a stop sign. please help me figure this out. Final year student in architecture. Any information would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi dodzi_k,
If a reformat from Windows removed the Recovery partition and is preventing the reinstall of Mavericks, you may need to boot to Internet Recovery to reformat the drive. You may find the following articles helpful:

Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
