Danish keyboard on MacBook Pro 13" Retina
Hello!
I am visiting US next week and would like to buy the new MacBook 13" Retina - however I would like it with "danish keyboard" out of the box. Anyone know if this is possible at an Apple Retail Store?
Thanks!
The Apple stores generally only stock machines with keyboards in the local languages. You'll be better off shopping in the Danish Apple online store.
Best of luck.

i want arabic and engilish keyboard in MacBook Pro with retina display how can i order that ??, i want arabic and engilish keyboard in MacBook Pro with retina display how can i order that ??
If you haven't found an answer yet. I know for a fact that this can be ordered directly from Apple at no extra cost
You can either ask for this when buying a new MBP at a "physical" Apple store, or as in my case in the UK the online Apple store allows such keyboard configuration in addition to 3 other languages like Spanish, German and French -
Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
(1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks
(2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
(3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now. Airs, Pros, Retinas etc. I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad. It is wonderful. Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots. Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking. If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook... Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices. If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits. Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception. Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
Why should you care? For *some* people the following is true and meaningful. The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like. And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go. In addition:
It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks.
It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard.
It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
Pictures Below:
My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference. (As if you wouldn't)
A slightly closer-up shot of just the RMBP with the Trackpoint Keyboard on top
Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off. Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard. Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-) -
Is backlit keyboard of 13-inch Macbook Pro with Retina display integrated English and Russian ? I mean Russian is integrated on keyboard not by using stickers or installing font

Apple does make these, but they are not sold everywhere. Where are you located?
Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so to find out whether you can buy a particular product you will need to contact stores directly yourself. In the US you can sometimes get unusual keyboards by talking to an apple retail store and asking for a special order.

Can I buy a MacBook Pro 15" Retina, at a US Apple store, with Portuguese keyboard?
I am in the process of buying a MacBook Pro 15" Retina laptop; although based in Dallas, TX I have a strong need for portuguese keyboard, which I cannot order online (Spanish is the closest offering, but not close enough).
Can I buy a MacBook Pro 15" Retina laptop, with Portuguese keyboard, at an Apple store?I went to an Apple Store, near my house. One of the employees showed me that she could not order it either (sorry, looks like it is really not an option within US).
She offered an alternative / fix: she could order a Portuguese wireless keyboard, that can be connected via Bluetooth.
Hope this helps. -
Macbook Pro 13" Retina keyboard randomly quits
I haven't found any other discussions about this yet. I have a 2 month old Macbook Pro 13" Retina. The keyboard will randomly quit working. I can not type anything at all. I can still use spotlight (Command + space bar) but I can not type anything. I can use command + tab to switch between opened apps. It will last about 2 mintues then the keyboard will start working again. Skicky keys is turned off. I have no idea what to do now? Any ideas?

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
#2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
#3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
#4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years. You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. -
HOW DO I FIND THE EJECT BUTTON ON MACBOOK PRO WITH RETINA
i have a macbook pro with retina display , and i want to know how i eject the disc from the apple external optical drive i can't see the eject button on the keyboard layout.

Works for me every time without failure.
It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.
The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems. I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done. Just seems stupid to me I guess. I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.
I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.
The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target. -
Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC crash on my MacBook Pro 15" Retina (2013)
I have a Mac Pro 12-Core (Late 2013) and a MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013). While there is no problem with the Adobe Creative Cloud products on the Mac Pro, I can't work with Photoshop and Illustrator on the MacBook Pro, cause it always tells me "undefined error" or that I wouldn't have the write-rights for the hard drive or file, even when there's no file opened. Illustrator crashes constantly while starting the program.
I tried to do a new installation by de-installing the programs including cloud desktop program with the Adobe de-installers. Didn't help at all. I tried to delete the programs including all hidden files manually, but it didn't work. After the new installation of the programs I still get the same error information. What else can I do? Other Non-Adobe programs like Final Cut, QuarkXpress aso work without problems and I really don't want to do a new setup on my Mac just because of the Adobe problem.
So, who can help me? What can I do to solve the problem?

How to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?
Hi,
I'm new to Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I'm a non-tech guy. Well, I'm familiar with Windows PCs but not familiar with Macbook Pros and OS X.
Please if you people can step me step by step that how to Install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display 15 inch.
Because recently, Apple released OS X Update 10.8.3 which includes support for Windows 8 in Boot Camp.
I will be very thankful. Please help!
ThanksHi Mende1,
Thanks for the fastest reply. Well, As I said I'm non tech noob on Macbook Pro.
Well, The Guide is simple but there are few questions which I'm not able to understop still.
1. How to get the copy of Windows 8? I have bought Windows 8 Ultimate and I have Genuine Key with me but I don't have files.
2. Secondly, I have Bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse, Is this compatible with Windows 8?
Thanks -
i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.
Hello Shailendras33,
Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro! Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue.
Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates the battery is charging. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
MacBook Pro User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting. I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs. I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers. I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro. I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP. The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version.
Question 1. Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?

MacBook Pro with Retina display in game graphics and SMC
I recently bought a MacBook Pro with retina display and started playing STC2 on it. I experienced great gameplay with maxed out graphics and 30fps, however recently the fps was down and as part of my trobleshooting I reset the SMC and that seemed to correct the issue. However the computer heats up much faster now and the fans seem to labor to keep it cool. When the fps was lower before i reset the SMC the computer did not get nearly as hot. My question is; is this the OS trying to protect the hardware from overheating or just a glitch?
Well unless you want to go through the hassle of waiting for a replacement unit you can try a few things on your own.
Make sure it is plugged in and charging (Orange LED light will indicate it is charging Green means it is fully charged)
Once it is plugged in make sure everything else is unplugged
The only thing plugged in should be the power adapter
On the left hand side of your keyboard press down and hold the Control Shift and Option Keys
While you are holding down those three keys hold down the power button as well
Hold down all 4 of these for 10 seconds
After 10 seconds let go
Try turning your mac on
If this works problem fixed!
If this does not work try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (You get 90 days of free complimentary phone support on your product)
If you purchased AppleCare you have 3 years of it and you should have this number on hand it can really help you out
I always advise friends and family to purchase applecare if they plan on having their product longer than a year
You will get 3 years of phone support as well as hardware support
That means if you have any questions or anything goes wrong just call Apple
It also means if your computer breaks it is covered! Meaning no out of pocket expenses unless it is water or accidental damage
You may really want to look into purchasing applecare -

It was my annual bonus from work, completely brand new and boxed, comes complete with all supplied accessories. I am selling it so low because I urgently needing of money, I want to put the money towards a deposit for a house.
From the beginning I must say that I live in Kingsville, ON N9Y 3V4, Canada and from here will be delivered to you. The delivery will take 1 to 2 days depending on your location. I am a single mother with 2 children and I don't have time to stay and meet with all my potential buyer's.stevejobsfan0123 wrote:

True, but eBay's policies are now totally lopsided in favor of buyers. So much, that there are far more sellers getting scammed these days.
Buyers hold all the cards with eBay.
Here's an ebay search. The lowest completed listing prices are within 10% of Apple's... about what you can get with an educational discount anyway. After listing / final value fees and Paypal fees, at those prices sellers are losing money.
Why? Hmm... -
MacBook Pro with retina display battery question
I recently bought a 15" macbook pro with retina display, and was wondering if my battery is working as it should.
I usually get about 3:03 hours with brightness at full and keyboard backlight at full with skype (not using it but on),safari with 6 tabs,twitter, and mail.
Oh and im also watching a youtube video on 720p.
My question is this:
Is the battery life supposed to be like this?
ON mountain lion 10.8.2 and a lot of people are saying i should be at about 5-8 hours.
Any recommended solutions?
EDIT
Just after i finished writing this my battery time estimate went up, its now 4-4:50 hours leftWhen I use my MBP on battery, I turn screen brightness down to about four bars and keyboard backlighting down to a single bar. I usually only have open a handful of Internet apps (Firefox, Outlook, etc.) and spend most of the time simply web-surfing, watching very few videos. And I can get almost 7 hours out of a fully charged battery. When new, I was getting 7+ hours, but with 182 cycles and the fact that the computer is 8 months old now, that's not bad.
Turn everything down as low as you can stomach and you should get a good 6 hours of battery time, if you keep your video to a minimum and use the built-in graphics card (to force this, use gfxCardStatus).
Good luck,
Clinton
