Change font size on macbook pro 15 retina

HELP... Cant see the words
can someone please tell me how to change font size on macbook pro 15 retina... I have this HUGE screen but the font on the screen is SUPER small.... can someone help me

Sorry, OS X hasn't evolved to a scalable UI type for hard of seeing users. If you drop the resolution your type gets blurry.
However I have two solutions.
1: You hit System Preferences > Accessibility and set a control key for zoom/in out, set the zoom to where the pointer is at and get a third party scroll wheel mouse. This way you hold the control key and can zoom in/out anywhere the mouse is pointed at.
2: You follow my User Tip here and use Firefox with the associated add-ons.
Since Firefox is customizable, your able to create larger menu type and have web pages automatically zoomed (full page, graphics and all) to your minimal needs.
Also FF will remember your window size so your not having to resize that each time you open the program. There is also a Full screen option.
Since web browsing takes up a lot of time on machines, at least you have that part licked. If you use web based email like GMail, since it's in a web browser that is zoomed as well.

How to increase the font size in macbook pro

Hello,
I am about to loose my EYESIGHT due to this tiny font size of Apple....!
Can somebody help me to INCREASE the font size Please.

Finder>View>Show view options: To change the icon & text sizes
System Preferences>Displays>Display: Play around w/the resolutions to increase the Finder menu font size.
System Preferences>Accessibility>Zoom is another option.
Browsers: Check its Preferences to increase the font size as well as their menu bars. Some have Aa or - + symbols to increase their fonts.
FF has an add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

The plastic hinge between my screen and the computer (macbook pro retina) is cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore? Can Apple change it?

The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

Apple can fix any and all of their computers. Whether it would be charged to you would be the question. Do you have AppleCare?
Accidental damage is not covered by AppleCare.

Changing opacity and flow by taping numbers on a Macbook Pro Retina.

Hi everyone,
it is surely a easy answer but i can't find a way to change opacity by taping numbers on my Macbook Pro Retina (French version AZERTY).
I think the problem comes from the fact that i don't have a numeric keypad.
For instance, on the brush tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), i change the flow to 10% and so on, but i didn't find a shortcut to change the opacity.
On the move tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), the opacity of the active layer don't change.
I am nearly sure that the problem comes from the Macbook Pro Retina keyboard, so do i have to buy a additionnal numeric keypad ?
Regards.

What version of photoshop are you using?
Is your version of photoshop also french?
Actually i don't think you should need the numeric keypad.
Added:
Maybe your right about needing the numeric keypad after all.
A quick test in cs6 seems to indicate that.
You might also ask over on the french forum:

MacBook Pro Retina 13" or 15" for grad school and which storage size?

Hi everyone! I'm new to forums but was hoping I could get some help. I'm in the market for a MacBook Pro retina, but am having trouble deciding on both screen and storage size. I am currently leaning toward the 15" 256mb. I will be using it for graduate school, mostly for word processing/ppt but a little bit of photo editing (using Photoshop). I don't store many videos or music and tend to store pictures on an external hard drive. The reason I thought I wanted the 15" is because I like to have 2 windows open at one time side by side, so I figured the 13" would be too small for this. I have an iPad 2 that I would probably use for class and note taking, but I may end up using my laptop so I can use Microsoft word-- that's where weight and portability will come in to play and is the reason why I am still considering the 13". As for the 15" I'm open to upgrading to the 500mb but don't know if this is really needed. I would really appreciate any insight, especially from students using one of these notebooks for class. Thank you!

"The reason I thought I wanted the 15" is because I like to have 2 windows open at one time side by side, so I figured the 13" would be too small for this. "
Apple's "Mission Control" feature allows you to open multiple desktops at once for the very reason you mention. You could have one window open in one and a second open in another. The trackpad additionally allows you to quickly switch from one desktop to another with a swipe of your fingers. This may not be preferable if you would still like to have all your open windows on one screen, but you quickly get used to the feature and once you utilize it, it turns out to be very beneficial and allows you to work with many open windows in an efficient manner.

Photoshop CC Mac - Changer l'opacité par les chiffres sur Macbook Pro Retina.

Bonsoir,
récent propriétaire d'un Macbook Pro Retina (version française AZERTY), je ne peux trouver un moyen de changer l'opacité en entrant les chiffres, comme 1 pour 10% ou 8 pour 80%.
Je pense que le problème vient du fait que je n'ai pas de pavé numérique.
Par exemple, sur l'outil pinceau, si j'entre 1 (en appuyant sur Shift + &), je change le flow à 10% et ainsi de suite, mais je n'ai pas trouvé un raccourci pour changer l'opacité.
Sur l'outil de déplacement, si j'entre 1 (en appuyant sur Shift + &), l'opacité du calque actif ne change pas.
Dois-je acheter un pavé numérique additionnel ?
Cordialement.

Bon, je pense avoir trouver une application incroyable qui résoud le problème, à la condition d'avoir un iPhone.
L'application se nomme Numberkey, gratuite sur App Store iPhone.
Il faut ensuite télécharger le logiciel Numberkey Connect, trouvable ici : http://numberkey.softpedia.com
Ainsi la connection se fait via le wifi.
Et ca marche !
Je peux désormais contrôler de mon iPhone, l'opacité et le flow de mes calques et de mes brushes !!
Je n'en reviens toujours pas... en croisant tout de même les doigts que cela ne fera point planter Photoshop.
Bien à vous.

Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

MacBook Pro Retina changes photo resolution

Many pictures in my new MacBook Pro Retina are now displayed in a much smaller size (resolution) than the originals. Could it be that the automatic generation of new high resolution vignettes have altered the original resolution? The altered pictures are now useless and the command "Return to original" does not respond. Most annoying.

If the pixel dimensions of the photos have remained the same then the diffrerences in appearance on your Retina display is due to the many more pixels in that display. Have you applied all of the updaters for the MBP Retina display?
What do you mean by resolution? DPI? DPI does not come into the equation until you go to print a photo. This webpage explains DPI: The Myth of DPI

Can i change a graphics card in macbook pro retina 15?

Dropped a coke on macbook pro retina 15 and need to change a graphics card can i do it???

The gfx hardware is integral with and soldered to the logic board, so "no" to your question.
If you have a black screen after a spill of a carbonated (= mildly acidic) drink, you've probably zapped more than graphics hardware.
Many such spills are not recoverable. The repair price can approach the cost of a new computer. If you have honmeowners'/renters' insurance, put them on notice of the accident ASAP. Many people have found that their home policy covers accidental damage to electronics including computers, subject to a deductible. Often it's the only financial help you'll get in recovering from a liquid disater.
