Connecting la2306x monitor with mac book pro retina

Hi There
I just bought an HP Monitor la2306x, and tired to connect it with my Mac book pro Retina. I attempted the connection via HDMI Cable and a HDMI to Display Port Adapter, but the monitor didnt find the connection.
I then attached an HDMI to DVI adapter to the Monitor and still nothing, the Laptop did seem to notice that i connected another display as the screen went on and off but nothing was shown on the monitor.
Using the same connection i tried connectiong my PS3 and it connected through HDMI to DVI.
Can the monitor work with Macs? I didnt think it would be a issue
Thanks a lot for your Help!

Hello naja89,
You want to connect a monitor to your MacBook.
You might have to change a setting on the computer.
The cables connect to the Thunderbolt/Mini-Display Port, and you then have to select System Preferences > Display and use Mirroring or not according to how you want to operate.
I found this on the mac forums.
Here is the link to the forum.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop.
However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device. That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs. If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

PNY StorEDGE 128GB not sitting flush with MAC book PRO retina display 13" and was recommend to by apple!!

I was recommended by apple online suppot to purchase the pny storedge to increase the memory on my mac and was informed it would sit flush with the mac. After purchasing this online which was not cheap it arrived and I inserted it into my mac and low and behold it does not sit flush with my mac book and only fits in half way. Feeling a little bit robbed, can anyone advise if this is supposed to fit in all of the way?

I own both the mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the late 2013 13" MacBook Pro retina display. I have the same 128 GB StorEDGE card. The SD card slot in the MacBook Pro is not as deep as the slot in the MacBook Air. The card fits nearly flush in the Air, but extends farther out in the Pro. The Apple store staff were unaware of the card slot difference until I showed them. Nothing you can do other than return the SD card if you are not satisfied with it.

FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime

What is wrong with my 2 month old Mac book pro retina?

I bought a new 13 inch Mac book pro Retina at the end of May 2013. I have been to the apple store and called apple care several times. Now things are very bad. It would crash and give me a white screen every so often but over the last week things have gotten very bad. It will crash with the white screen, browsers and applications all close unexpectedly - it started with firefox then safari, then mail then face book, then adobe and finally iphoto and picassa. I did send in the reports. Also if I had a picture in i-photo my picassa program is set up to grab all pictures - recently any pictures that have been grabbed it says the files are corrupted. I keep having trouble with the air port utility in that it can't find the wireless network and or the time capsuel even though it can be wireless or plugged in by ethernet. I called apple care and got this very nice tech guy and he tried many different fixes and said he thought the hard drive would need to be replaced so got an appointment to take my computer in. They ran two tests and said everything is fine with the computer it must be the software. So now I'm supposed to get apple care to help me try and save all my data on flash drives! Can't back it up on time capsuel cause he said it would just back up the problem. So this seems overwhelming and I'm so upset. Well, then I thought about it and my old mac book in which all the data and software was transferred from hasn't been erased as I was having so many issues I hadn't done that yet. So my question is if it was the software, wouldn't it be making my older mac book do the same thing? What is wrong with my New Computer? As of tonight, I can't even open anything it gives a quick flash of trying to open and closes so the computer is totally useless - so no idea how to get the data off that is most recent. Apple says they cannot help cause it is a software program but now I have a 2 month old computer whish is useless. Any thoughts?

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion. Where is the Hard Drive?

Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion. Where is the Hard Drive?

Technically there is no "hard drive" in the Retina MacBook Pro, as all models come with "flash" storage which isnt a "hard disk drive." So if you are wondering why you are not hearing classic hard drive chatter and spin-up sounds then this is the reason.
Other than that, logically the devices are treated the same, so as Kappy mentions you just have to enable it on your desktop or go to your computer name in the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or otherwise go to the top level of the system's folder structure to reveal any mounted volumes, including the internal drive.

How can I Upload Pictures, from my Mac Book Pro Retina Display with Mountain Lion OS? Tried but it gets as far as i pictures but does not open?

This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there.

Upload? what does that mean?
You want ML forum? iLife? even notebook forum and directions to those?
iCloud?

I bought the mac book pro retina with warranty in second hand now i need to update the keynotes, pages and numbers now it not updating in my apple id is there any idea to transfer to my new apple id

You will have to erase the HDD and reinstall the original OSX. This will allow you to create your own Apple ID via the registration process. Follow these guidelines:

I have a new Mac Book Pro Retinal. Should I leave the charger connected all of the time that I am at my desk or should I disconnect the charger and allow the battery to full cycle?

I have a new Mac Book Pro Retinal. Should I leave the charger connected while I am at my desk or should I disconnect the charger and all the battery to full cycle?

I leave mine plugged in when at a desk most of the time.
The battery will slowly discharge from 100% to 95% even on wall power, then recharge to 100% ... to save usage of the recharge circuits.
At least once a month I use it on battery and let the battery run down to about 40%.
DO NOT run to "dead" ... that will shorten battery life.
BTW: My battery currently (after 1 year) can still hold 101% of factory-designed charge.

Display of mac book pro retina 13 inch

On august 13th i purchased a mac book pro retina 13.3. It worked good for 3 months and then in November my display stopped working and gave it to apple service center in my college and after 3 days then gave me back saying it was some troubleshooting problem so they disconnected and then reconnected the display.
Now on 3rd January i had some flickering on my screen i restarted it but it nothing helped .Next day what i see is a big black dot on my screen with some horizontal and vertical lines.
straight away i took it to the store and the person there asks me 440 dollars as he thinks its a physical damage.
I mean without a scratch on any part of the laptop,without a crack on a screen or the body how can the display inside the glass screen can be damaged?
Is this the quality of the products ?
i get an answer from the person at apple store that even i dust particle gets stuck while closing the mac book can cause this problem.
Moreover there are no records of the service they did on my mac book in November and now after calling them they say that it will be updated today.
So if the quality so bad of the display that just by opening and closing the mac book the display got damaged?
I really want to know a person whom i can write this problem to?

Thanks again Ugh,
but I believe the update didnt fix the problem. I tried to do SMC reset several times but the system still hunguing everytime I connect the adapter.
Any other tips?
Cheers

Usb not recognized when windows7 installed on mac book pro retina

Hi,
I am trying to install windows 7 to mac book pro - retina display with mavericks.
I managed to come to the point where windows installed and starts and I need to install the boot camp on the windows. I am having problems at this stage. Windows does not recognize the usb drives and i cant install the boot camp or connect to the internet, nothing. I restarted the machine several times but still no luck.
When i open it in mac, i can access the usb drive. When switched back to windows there is no usb.
Can someone please advise?

The USB thumb drive itself is either USB 2 or 3. It's a hardware thing. Not sure how to tell what type it is through a computer, but some usually the packaging indicates which it is. Sometimes the drive itself will have it written on it somewhere. You will need to delete the bootcamp partition in OSX using the bootcamp assistant and redo the entire process using a USB 2 thumb drive. After that the process worked as indicated in the boot camp instructions. The bootcamp drivers were automatically installed after windows rebooted itself.
I am not 100% sure that this was the issue, but when I went from using a thumb that I knew was usb 3 to one that I was sure was not, it all of a sudden worked. It could have also been that it just did not like the usb 3 drive I tried to use the first few times as it was a generic drive from Microcenter.

Really slow rendering on Mac Book Pro Retina

Hi
I am using adobe premiere on a mac book pro retina and the renders are reallyyy reallyyy slow. Usually takes 30 mins for a 2 mins timeline to render.
Iv also tried rendering the same timeline on a windows machine and it takes 5 mins ( 1/6th ) for the same render.
Please provide me a solution ASAP since its eating my production time.
Thanks
Shivang

Hello, since you jumped on to the previous thread I can copy you in on my query ..
This question seems to have been posted before..
I came from Windows land and have used Premiere since '97..
"Let's try a super spec Macbook and have a mobile editing suite.. Great!"
I generally work with DSLR footage, H264 codec and .wav files.
Imports and scrubbing is great, applying effects starts it slowing down and I'll adjust playback to 1/2 or 1/4 resolution.
And that's just on one layer of video..
Now, when it comes to exporting in general, a 50 second clip takes over 30 minutes to render.
Very frustrating..
I mainly export using the existing presets for YoutubeHD and VimeoHD.
Can't get my head around why it takes so long and I am hoping that perhaps a re-install or a fundamental preference setting will solve it.
In my preferences, I've allocated 11GB of memory to Adobe Production Suite applications and I rarely run 2 at a time.
Scratch disks are set to project folders, on a 4GB RAID1 drive connected via Thunderbolt protocol
Tech specs :
Processor - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Storage - SSD 500GB
OS - OS X, v10.8.3
I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you in advance

I bought a Mac Book Pro retina display, Serial Number C02J*****2, on 8/11/2012. Unfortunately, I am unable to download updates from the App store.Whenever I tried to download updates, it shows me an error message, "we could not complete your request. there is an error in the App Store. Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.
Moreover,I also need help how to update to the mountain lion free of charge as my Mac pro is four(4) days old.
Sincerely

N.B. I'M not exactly sure the operating system is "Mac OS X v10.7.x". However, I do know for sure it's Mac OS X v10.7.4
