Contacted by Apple for potential MBP retina display problem

I'm using MBP retina for exactly two weeks (received 7/27).
I was unable to get a call, but recieved a voice message from Apple regarding possible MPB retina display problem.
Is there anyone who got this call from Apple?
I dont' feel any problem on display, but wondering what could be problems.
Thanks.

"...but recieved a voice message from Apple regarding possible MPB retina display problem."
Could you be more detailed about the message? Apple doesn't usually do that.

MBP w/Retina Display Problem After Sleep

I have bought a MBP Retina Display 15" in July 2012 and until recently I did not have any problems with my Mac. However, I am having the same problem as the one in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt0tS8KJKuQ
There seems to be no problem if I don't leave my mac on sleep for so long but what is the sleep function and power nap for in the first place. Is there any solution to this.
Thx

Hardware does fail occasionally, but part of why I would take mine to an Apple Store would be for an opinion on whether the problem was hareware or software. Since it has been less than a year since your bought your MBP-R, it is still under warranty, just not eligible for free phone assistance. If you have neither an Apple Store nor a trusted repair facility available to you, that will make it tougher.
Do I understand you to say this only happens after it has been asleep for a longish time? You can keep it from happening by waking it up sooner or by shutting down when you expect to be away for a longer time? I'm not sure what that tells us, but it in interesting.
Do you by any chance have a bootable copy of your system on an external disk? Preferrably one that was made before you started experiencing the symptoms. If so, does the MBP-R present the same symptoms when booted from that copy?

Audio issues with some full screen applications (game) and teamspeak with a 15" MBP retina display

While trying to play League of Legends in the lobby and loading screens i can hear everything but when i go in game i cant hear anything, and with teamspeak my teamspeak cant detect the input or output devices and i can hear everything else like skype and everything
Already reinstaled flash restored the system and took it to the apple store, this happened like for 2 days with youtube and they solved that but not the problem with the game or teamspeak

Apple doesn't offer the option of full resolution (2880x1800) and says everything other than 1440 x 900 won't look as good as 1440x900.
so while you can set the monitor to 17" resolution (1920x1080) it has to simulate it on a 2880x900 screen and has to blur and reinterpolate elements to make it work
they've really messed it up for anyone wanting true HD resolution for professional reasons.
Indeed. Everything except 2880x1800, which is unavailable without SwitchResX, and 1440x900, which comfortably fits one pixel of the image into a four pixel square of the Retina Display, must be simulated or scaled. However, while the scaling is real, the 17" "simulation" looks as good, to my eye at least, as my wife's MBP 17". Going smaller will test one's eyes probably as much as Apple's scaling algorithms so the tradeoff for greater screen real-estate may turn out not to be as bad as we'd think. All I need is a MBP Retina Display and SwitchResX to find out...

Screen real-estate on the 15" MBP Retina display

The 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display has a remarkable 2880x1800 pixel resolution, compared to the 27" LED display's 2560x1440. Normally, screen real-estate is defined as how much stuff (windows, menu bar items, bookmark lists, etc) you can fit on the screen, with a larger (that is, more pixels) screen being able to show more stuff using its native resolution.
With the MBP's Retina display, the pixels are so small that using its native resolution in the same way as with the 27" monitor should result in, say, really small menu bar items, etc. As a result, the default monitor setting involves scaling, so that something which might normally take up one pixel might get four or eight devoted to it, making it larger and easier to see. Its monitor control panel allows changing that relationship so that everything could be made to appear even larger, resulting in less screen real-estate, or smaller, resulting in more screen real-estate; i.e., lots more stuff can fit on the screen.
My question is whether, at the smallest setting offered, the screen real-estate is the equivalent of, say, a 32" monitor which also has 2880x1800 pixel resolution but is spread over a much smaller physical area, or is the Retina's display still scaled to some smaller equivalent resolution because straight 1 to 1 would simply be too small to be practical? If that's the case, what does the effective resolution work out to be at the smallest setting?
I'm aware that's not a simple question because, for example, I understand that an HD Movie could be displayed pixel for pixel even if everything else outside that window is scaled. Moreover, the use of vector graphics complicates the matter further. But for things like menu lists and word processing documents, can the MBP's Retina display be set to what we understand to be 1 to 1?

Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains

Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains, getting worse.
I am always very carefully with my mac, still the display always looks smudged. Even when I just close the lid, for transport, I have like the keyboard printed on my display when I open it again. Now I discovered more and more light spots which can't be wiped of at all.
There is obviously a problem with these retina displays.
I am very disappointed I have to say. I'm out of warranty but I can't believe that I pay € 2.600,- and get a display like that!
Please Apple, do something…

While booting the apple logo is purple and the the grey screen turn yellow for a second.

Having problems with my new usb superdrive in my MBP retina display.

I just bought an apple usb superdrive for my new MBP retina display. I connected the usb superdrive to the MBP and I was going to install a program but doesn't appear in the desktop or neither in finder. The disk is still inside the usb superdrive! The MBP doesn't recognize the usb superdrive. What do I do now? The disk is still inside!

With the system turned on Disconnect the superdrive and then reconnect it. If that fails try the other USB port, the one on the other side.
If That Fails take the system and the superdrive to the Apple store you bought them from and have them fix whatever is wrong with either the drive or the system or both.

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

I have a MBP retina display, early 2013, 512GB SSD storage& I want to upgrade it into a 768GB SSD storage, would that be possible WITHOUT replacing my current storage disks with the new 768GB ?keeping the 512GB&only adding a 256 GB disk?! please advise (:

The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase

Problem with MBP Retina Display battery

So, I'm on my second MBP Retina Display. The first one had a dead pixel. However, other than the dead pixel I was pleased with the laptops condition.
I got it replaced. The new model seems to be having issues with burned in windows on the display. Also, the battery life seems to go down much quicker than
the one I had originaly.
I took my laptop into the genius bar and was told the battery was completely fine but because I used migration assistant something was draining the battery life.
A month has gone by since I cleaned out my laptop and didn't use migration assistant. The battery had been lasting longer than before. But now it's draining rather rapidly again. I don't know why.
Also, I hadn't noticed the burn in's until now.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to fix these issues? Or if I should take my laptop in again?
Thanks for the help!

0. Forget coconutBattery.
1. Doesn't seem like a lot.
2. Recommended? No. Can it hurt? No, as long as you stick to 3.
3. It is better to discharge, at least a few times per month, to about 40%.

MBP retina display wallpaper problem

I just bought the MBP retina display and somehow the OS doesn't save my wallpaper. It will go to the default Mac wallpaper whenever i restart my computer. Is there a way to solve this?

Alright no worries, I felt it was worth while looking at, although the unit is 4 days old in your hands, the software was likely installed longer than that, at the distribution centre.
The next step we would likely do, is remove the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the desktop itself, this will encourage the operating system when restarted (or logged out) to regenerate a new file in its place.
Although this is such an evasive step, and should cause no problems, since it is a user specific file, I do feel the need to tell you to backup any data first, and make sure you have everything covered before proceeding.
I would expect nothing to go wrong in this process, honestly , but whenever a solution comes down to replacing files the operating system has in place, its worth covering. If you are satisfied you have everything backed up, and wish to proceed, the next steps are as follows:
1) Open up a finder window, you can do this by clicking the square face symbol on your dock (half dark blue, half light blue). You should have a finder menu bar running across the top of your screen, and 'Go' should be listed.
2) Select 'Go' and this will drop down a list of places your system can go to. Hold down the Option (alt) key on your keyboard and this will show the hidden 'library' in your drop down list. Select library.
3) The finder window will now show the contents of your user library. Find a folder called preferences in that folder and go into it.
4) You will now see many com.apple.xxxx.plist files. Find a file or files beginning in com.apple.desktop (com.apple.desktop.plist is the common one, but sometimes there is com.apple.desktop lockfiles also) and drag them to the desktop itself, make sure the files are actually moved to the desktop and not just copied.
5) Once the files are moved to the desktop, and no longer exist in your preferences folder, restart the computer, and try again. The computer at this point would have generated replacement files.

Apple service centre employee told me that they do not have this 14 day offer in India.
And My mac book pro is taken in by Service centre people to run test etc and I will be informed the next day if they accept it as a fault or not ?
I feeling ridiculously bad.

What is a good external battery pack for a 13" retina display?

what is a good external battery pack for my 13" retina display(macbook)

Have a look here for the sizes and prices.
It is however, much better to get a USB external drive that comes with it's own power adapter to avoid issues when or if your USB port can't supply enough power to your external drive.
That issue however does happen rarely but it does happen. Especially when connecting other devices to your other USB port while your external hard drive is connected to your other usb port.

Could anyone tell me whether the ios7 for ipad with retina display comes with flash,compass and calculator!? Because mine has none!

Hi ravelvanto,
mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...
Best regards, mackevin

Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

Yes. The Bamboo stylus is fully supported. Only the soft rubber tipped side. The Pen side obviosuly not.
Note all stylus that work with the iPad are noticeably thicker than a pen or pencil, so precision is not something you'll get much of.
Look at the link I provided, all those stylus work with iPad. See if you like one of those. Or if you can fnd one of those were you live.
