Change my mac pro book display

hello
i have a mac pro book
i ordered it with the glossy display. bad idea.
i have it out in my studio, so it gets dusty alla time, i sneeze on it a lot, i like to touch the screen a lot to point at things and so on. and therefore it pretty much stays grubbed up.
i am wondering if it is poss to have the screen swithced to the other non glare kind and how i would go about that and would it cost a lot of money.

*"i sneeze on it a lot, "*
Yuck. Don't you cover your mouth or turn your head away?
*"i am wondering if it is poss to have the screen swithced to the other non glare kind"*
sure...it's possible.
*"how i would go about that"*
your local apple authorized service provider
*"and would it cost a lot of money."*
Absolutely
Buy an external monitor instead.

Change Retina Mac pro's display to Negative?

How can I change my new macbook pro retina's screen to negative resolution? i tried control alt command 8. didnt work. I even went to "display" in system preferences. hoping they haven't gotten rid of the function all together.
Edit: I just figured it out. I have to go to keyboard shortcuts > accessibility > invert colors.

I just hope that you're not doing any color correction work just now...

My mac pro book is running slow and I can hardly go on the internet without all kinds of pop ups and ads making it impossible to surf the net.

I have a mac pro book version 10.10 that is running on the sluggish side. I can hardly use the internet because every time I click on a link or details about a product all the pop ups that make it impossible to surf the net. I am afraid to take any steps on my own because I am not quite that tech savvy. What can I do? I didn't think these kinds of things happened with a mac.

Severed connection when Mac Pro's display sleeps

So I have a Mac Pro and a Macbook connected in a network via the ethernet I use to access the internet. Shared some files out, everything works fine and dandy.
BUT,
when the Mac Pro's display goes to sleep the connection is lost. I noticed the Mac Pro takes considerably longer to awaken it's display then does my Macbook, might this have something to do with it - that is, does the entire comp just go to sleep with it's display?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My approach would be to first remove any non-apple USB devices. Unplug any monitors from the USB connections and other USB peripherals. Restart. If it's still there, start from a second account. Create one if you don't have one. If it disappears then it's a software issue in your admin user directory. Still there? Start from your DVD. If it's still there then it's hardware and time for a repair. If it disappears then it's software and the approaches are many and varied. You might try resetting your graphics card to ensure it's well connected.

Where do i sell my mac pro book? recently bought and i don't need it

I recently bought my Mac Pro Book and found out I don't need it. How do or where should I sell it?

Stephanie29526,
how recently did you buy it? You might be able to return it for a full refund from the place where you’d purchased it.

Is it good time to buy Mac Pro with display?

Hi There,
I am thinking to buy Mac Pro with display and I wonder if it’s good time to do that. Displays still waiting for update. We have been waiting for Mac Pro update long and as far as I see the update wasn’t what people generally expected.
And disappointing thing about Blue-ray drive as well. I think it was good time to put one in by Apple.
So do you think its good time to buy all that stuff or wait longer and perhaps better Mac Pro with new display will come out soon?
Regards

Um no.. It's more than an "extravagant speed bump," the new Mac Pro is using the new 45nm chip architecture. In addition, the significantly larger cache and faster 800mhz RAM make for drastic performance increase.<</div>
Um...yes..
and with this new faster processor, I'm to do what with???...open an Excel spreadsheet a nanosecond faster, get a few more fps on Doom3? Woop-tee-do! I now have 8 cores but most software uses 1 of them while the other 7 purr in idle.
BluRay/HD video is here... or should I say HAS BEEN here for over a year now.... how am I going to use this new super-dooper processor with editing, creating, and authoring HD video and discs?
A faster processor at this point is meaningless without the tools to use it with.
All they did with the new MacPro is give you a computer that is worth the fixed $2800 price tag.
Reminds me of the tire commercial on tv where they describe this car with exotic and powerful 12 cylinder engine, and plush leather seats, and race proven suspension...... but with no tires.
It all looks great on a spec sheet, but you can't use it to do any real work.
I can film HD video all day long, but I can't use a Mac to put it on disc...... (but I can use a Dell!!)
There is no way anyone can explain this other than political.... I would bet that this has something to do with Steve's affiliation with Disney and other studios in regards to his doomed movie rental snafu. Apple has always been the ground breaker in bringing such technology to the market first (a mouse, a cd drive, multiple displays, a superdrive, etc.), and usually before the consumer even understands they need it. To be this far behind with BluRay, he's got to be holding back for a reason ... and I would love to hear it.
I've been a Mac user for 22 yrs and have only been embarrised to be so twice... once when the fruit flavored iMacs were introduced (eventually proved to be the best selling computer model of all times), and now with the absence of BluRay. I've been hoping Steve will prove me wrong again, but I've been hoping for year now... and am still waiting.
Um... No, the Mac Pros power isn't gonna do much for an excel spreadsheet.. However, I bought mine to use with Logic Studio which does take advantage of all eight-cores and the faster front side bus and RAM, and the performance is remarkable..
Just for kicks I timed how long it took to rip "Finding Nemo" with my old G4 dual 1.25 ghz using Handbrake's Apple TV preset... The G4 took 7 hours and 54 minutes.. My new Mac Pro did the same job in 24 minutes..
If you really want a Blu-Ray drive in your Mac Pro, then just buy one and stick it in the empty optical slot, but be prepared for the price tag... http://www.mcetech.com/blu-ray/
And if you use one of the Pro apps that takes advantage of multiple cores, the new Mac pro is a dream.. If you don't use one of those apps, you probably don't need a Mac Pro. At any rate, you're whole spiel about the Mac pro's power being trivial or useless is nonsense..

Mac Pro: 2nd Display Problem

Hello,
I have been having a lot of trouble with a Mac Pro and separate displays. First, it took me quite a bit of playing around to get it to recognize the first display plugged directly into the DVI port. I then went to add a second monitor through a mini display port to DVI adapter, and I cannot get the Mac Pro to recognize the monitor. Nothing shows up in display to suggest that the other monitor is there. Clicking on Detect Displays does nothing. Thinking it could potentially be a bad video card. I am also sure that the adapter, cable, and monitor are not faulty.
Thanks!

The video card is an Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512MB RAM. It is a Mac Pro 4,1. I have double checked every connected and I know nothing is loose. Also, when changing out trying to change monitors in hopes that it would be detected, the Mac shut down because of a problem. All of this keeps leading me to a bad video card.

Extend the distance between Mac Pro and display

I'd like to know how to extend the distance between my Mac Pro and its Cinema Display. The Mac is early 2008 as is its display I think. I need a distance of about 5metres.

yes-get a DVI Dual Link Extension cable M/F or M/M. I think you can get 'em around 25 feet max. then you'd need a gender changer, maybe......
depends what you want to pay, though.*cough* monoprice*cough*
just my opinion

Why does my mac pro screen display in red?

Everything works but everything has a red tint. I need to know how to correct this.

okay, alabamaprincessblue, maybe I can help you. Are you talking about the newest mac pro, or an older model, or are you talking about the MacBook Pro? which is a different bag o' pork rinds altogether. If you have the latest Mac pro, and you have appleCare or you're within the complimentary 90 day support window, give 'em a call and take 'er in. If you have an older model mac Pro (big Aluminum tower) then maybe it's the video card, or maybe the display calibration is off. Go to system preferences, then Displays, then options and re-calibrate your display, which hopefully fixes the problem. If you have a Macbook Pro, I can't help you here, you'd have to post on the Mac Book Pro forum. the only reason I mention the Mac book Pro is that some people get the two confused and post a mac book pro question here in the mac Pro forums. If you think you might have a problem with your video card, please go to "About this mac" under the Big Apple at the left top corner of your screen, then more info, then system report, and tell us what kind of video card you have.
and any other relevant info
well, it's a start, anyways

HT1338 I have updated my software and everything else I think I need to do. I am having a problem connecting to Facetime on my Mac Pro Book. I have tried using my Apple ID and I have tried creating a new ID but it doesn't work.

I just bought a New Apple Pro Book. Tried getting Facetime up and working with no luck. Won't accept APPLE ID and won't accept a new account. Tried to buy app thinking it was that but told me it was already installed on the mac. Do I have to fix a setting or something that I am not aware of.
My whole family used the same APPLE ID and I have this apple ID on my IPHONE for facetime. Do we need a new one if so why can't I create a new one???

You can use the same AppleID for App Store purchasing Apps, Books and Music. (So you can share between family members, no need to re-purchase)
But for other Apple services like FaceTime, Message, Game Center (next Mac OS release) etc You should use a different Apple ID.
To start, you need an e-mail address (Gmail from Google, Yahoo from Yahoo, or Hotmail from Microsoft: there are all free). Use the browser for example to search for gmail.
1. Create an e-mail account following the instruction given. (Take note of email address you created and password use, password should include numbers, letters and uppercase letter)
2. Test that new e-mail account by sending a test email to that account (GMail mails can be view using the browser)
3. use this link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ using the new e-mail address you created.
Not wanting to overload you. After you have all that come back here again and we go from there.

Mac pro cinema display cuts out and can't access Mac with screen sharing

Hi
A weird thing has started happening to my Mac Pro today. After using it for a few minutes the cinema display it is attached to on the Mac Pro just goes black. The Mac Pro is clearly still on - the light is on and i can hear the fans. The Mac Pro shows up on my local network and i can connect to it and access files from my Macbook, but screen sharing doesn't work (i just get the message 'contacting mac pro' and nothing else) and i can't connect to shared iTunes library either, which makes me think it is not just a display issue. I cannot wake the computer with the mouse or keyboard, which makes me think it isn't just a sleep issue. All i can do is physically turn the Mac Pro off, start it up and it will start up successfully and then work for a few more minutes before i get the same problem. I have reset the PRAM and SMC and still have the same problems. Can anyone suggest anything else i can try?
I should mention that i have another problem with the Mac Pro in that it has been spontaneously waking up from sleep and starting up from shutdown, and i still haven't resolved this. I don't know if it is connected to the above issue.
thanks
nick

I have experienced almost the exact same thing with my new 2008 Mac Pro and my 30" Apple display. It has happened to me twice in the last few weeks. The first time I chalked it up to a fluke, but now that it's happened again I searched the forums. In both cases I've had music playing in iTunes which continues playing, goes on to the next track, and so on. So the machine has not crashed in full. I too can connect to the files via another computer on the network, but cannot share the screen.
I have not had the sleep issues you have had.
I'll look at the link you provided in your next post to see where that gets me, but I wanted to let you know you were not alone on this one.
