Dead pixel on mac pro retina

Hi I have just noticed a dead pixel on my mac pro retina. I bought the machiene in 2012 when they came out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? Id rather have it replaced than fixed as I havent had it long. I have 3 years apple care. Do you think this is possible?

I dont think 1 dead pixel will warrant a replacement. Only way to find out is to make an appointment at your local Apple store or AASP and have it looked at.

Dead pixels on Macbook Pro Retina Display and keyboard scratches.

Since the purchase of my Macbook Pro with Retina Displey 15" early February 2013 it has gained 5 dead pixels on the screen. If I take it to the Apple Store are they going to tell me it's my own fault and not help?
I also found a scratch on the <H> key on the keyboard, which has removed a little bit of the black coating, allowing the backlight to shine through. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or if apple are able to help? I have already tried writing over it in black sharpie pen, but it doesn't help.

Apple has some system they go by to determine how many dead pixels are 'acceptable' on a display - it's not your fault.
You may be able to get a replacement key from -> https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/. Since Apple will probably say it was caused by user damage, you'll have to pony up the $5 for the key.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.

For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

Mac pro retina 15 inch screen

My mac pro retina 15 inch screen broke... does anyone know how much it would be?

Yes, you could do it yourself cheaper, but it requires some expertise. Even more importantly, it will invalidate your warranty if you still have one (i.e. it is less than 1 year old or you have the Applecare that adds another 2 years warranty) - so if anything else goes wrong, you are on your own!
I'd probably bite the bullet with a machine so new and let Apple fix it. And then be super careful in the future!

Mac Pro Retina Screen Replacement Procedure

So I love my Mac Pro Retina but it has the ghosting issue, everything else is fine as far as I can tell with it, its had a few kernal panics but they have all been graphics related while Chrome was open, and only in Mac OSX, so I am assuming thats fine. I can play any game I want in Windows 7 with out trouble so thats a w/e.
I am past the 14 day mark for just turning it in for a new one, and I wouldn't want too anyway. So I was wondering how they handled pure screen replacements, if they do them there at the store, or if they have to ship it off. If anyone has any experience with this any info would be helpful.

I want to know what Apple has offered other people so I can go in and negotiate knowing what solutions they are offering. I have had Apple loose equipment for a period of time after being shiped of for repairs, so if they tell me its going to need to be shiped off, and someone here has had an instore replacement of the screen I would like to be able to point to that so I don't risk having my laptop lost in the ether again.
PS Apple actually handled it well by replacing the piece of equipment with the newest model, so the lost equipment ended well for me that time, but it was kind of a gaint pain in the butt.

Try downloading the Win 7 ISO for the version you have from here.

Then burn that ISO to a USB or DVD, USB would be better.

Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?

Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?
Thank you.

No.
The entire enclosure is tuned for both external jack placement, EMI-RFI radiation, airflow, and for cooling. You need exactly the correct shell and fans for the electronics you wish to install in it.

HT1899 i can install mac pro retina windows 8

i can install mac pro retina for windows 8

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 at the moment, but if you have OS X Mountain Lion, Apple should release an update soon with Windows 8 support.
If you want to use Windows 8 now, you can install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox and install Windows 8 on a virtual machine. Another option is to install Windows 7 on Boot Camp if you want.
If you need help installing Windows, follow the steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp

What version of OS X are you running on your MBPr?
If you open Applications > Utilities, you should see Boot Camp Assistant in that folder.
That is the utility which will create the partition into which you can install Windows that you have purchased from Microsoft.

Does my new mac pro retina come with antivirus. And, for how long

does my new mac pro retina come with antivirus? And, for how long?

Yes it does.
It's called OS X Lion - fully updated.
There are no known viruses for MAC OS.
Your current OS is your best protection
If however, you want to feel more secured, download ClamX AV and do a scan once a week to give you peace of mind.
Good luck

Dead Pixel on Macbook Pro 15' Retina

Hey there Apple community,
Recently I purchased a 15' Retina Macbook pro for $2,500 (AU). I have owned this Macbook for approximately 4 months, with no issues what-so-ever.
Until, 2 days ago I was working on a project (I am stuying Graphic Design.) when I zoomed into a black area in photoshop, to discover a little green dot near the centre of my screen. At first, I believed it was a peice of fluff so I cleaned my whole screen. With no success I finally came to the conclusion it was a dead pixel. Over the two days it has became progressively worse.
Unfortunately, when I bought my Macbook I did not purchase Apple Care. So my question to you is, if I take my Macbook into an Apple store will I be able to get it fixed/replaced as it is a manufactuerer fault?
Thanks for your time,
Charles.

As others have stated you have a standard 1 year warranty and do not at this time need Applecare extended warranty to get your Mac fixed for free.
Also you can still buy the Applecare extended warranty. You have the full standard oine year warranty period to do that. IE Buy the Applecare extended warranty.
I suggest you do it sooner then later as it also extends the normal 90 day phone support to the full 3 year period of the standard and extended warranty coverage.
