Do apple stores stock their top spec macbook pros?
I have been told that apple dont stock the top spec macbook pro with retina display and that you have to order it online to be delivered, however I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't. If anyone could tell me if they do or not that would be great.
These are the specs:
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English)
Thanks.
They stock basic configurations of each model. They do not stock models that require online modification. Those are called CTO - Configured To Order - orders. Those must be ordered online.

Do the apple store stock every configuration of Macbook Pro?
I'm considering buying a 13 inch retina MacBook Pro soon, probably 512GB, and was wondering what configurations apple keep in store? I've noticed that on the apple store you can configure MacBooks to have more RAM ext, and was wondering if all these are stocked in the stores, or would I need to order one online and take it into store? I'm really not the most tech savvy person, so wouldn't be comfortable setting up a new mac and transferring all my data over from my PC, so I'd need to visit a store for s omeone to assist me, and my nearest apple store is 100 miles away so I'd like to know they have the macbook I want! Also if I decide I won't want a configured one, just the normal retina 13 inch 512GB, am I just able to walk into store, buy it and have them move all my files, or do I need to make an appointment? Thanks for your help!
Probably in the wrong category sorry!No, they will have the base models. Otherwise you will have to order one to match your preferences via the store or online.

Cargué Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Edición para estudiantes y profesores, comprado en una Apple Store en Mexico) en una MacBook Pro, hace 14 meses; he cambiado de computadora a una MacBook Pro (retina). Primero desinstalé el software de la primera computadora (desactivación total desde "aplicaciones/Utilidades/adobe/desinstalar) después instalé el software en la nueva máquina pero el código de activación no funcionó. Algún paso me ha fallado. He repetido el proceso y nada. Las dos Mac son de uso personal privado. La vieja la voy a formatear y vender. ¿es necesario un nuevo código de instalación?.... ¿como lo solicito?

When the Apple techs at their store setup my new MacBook Pro, my first Apple product they evidently acted as The Administrator. They did not tell me about this process or give me a password. So now when I need the password I have no idea what it is, etc. The Apple store is 60 miles from where I live. A challenge to just go in and get help. How can I find my password or set a new one?

Videos don't play smoothly on brand new top spec MacBook Pro
Hi,
I've just bought a brand new MacBook Pro 15 inch retina, upgraded to 2.7ghz processor.
Video content on YouTube and Vimeo is juddering and skipping worse than it does on my 2009 MacBook Pro. It's not smooth at all.
I've had the computer a couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to install anything on it yet (aside from flash player to play the videos), so it's basically as it came from the factory.
Can anyone offer some pointers as to what could be causing this?
Thanks1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press the "Delete All" button.
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.

I have a disc stuck in the drive. Is there a fix I can perform or do I need to bring my MacPro to the Apple store?
PhilHere are some standard remedies.
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button. -
according to the tech specs' required to use iClode it seems that Apple is ignoring it's promisses to their valued costumers since 2001..I have to go to an Apple store and buy a new MacBook and iPhone..mm yeah right we are all swimming in cash. On June Apple had promissed it's old valued costumers that they can continue to access their Mac mail accounts via a browser. But hey ! why keep promisses. Now you need to purchase all the latest gadgets to use y'r Mac mail-iCloud. MOVING TO GMAIL !
If you had a MobileMe account, and provided you migrated it to iCloud before 1 August, you can access your email at http://icloud.com on any modern browser. 10.7.2 minimum and iOS5 or 6 are required for the devices to use iCloud syncing and other facilities.
If you have Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard you can set Mail up manually to access the email on an existing iCloud account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Do Apple Stores stock upgraded MB Pro's?
Hey I was wondering of anyone knows about an Apple Store which stocks an upgraded MacBook Pro.
I'm after the 15" i7 with the 7200 rpm HDD and Hi Res glossy display upgrade.
But a friend of mine ordered the exact same spec online yesterday and the estimated shipping date is 20th Sept and delivery date of 27th.
I know they have to build it first then ship it from China, but that's way too long.
So does anyone know if any Apple Store stock upgraded models at all or offer a hard drive upgrade in store?They stock basic configurations of each model. They do not stock models that require online modification. Those are called CTO - Configured To Order - orders. Those must be ordered online.

Do Apple Stores stock the Invisible Shield?
Im based in the uk, but a friend is heading over to San Fransico next week and im wondering if the apple stores stock the invisible shield or will i have to order from the invisible shield website?
cheers guysHi there,
AFAIK the only way to get them is via their website.
I'm from Germany and have been looking around the last days to find a German or at least European dealer, thinking it might arrive faster. Haven't had any luck though :/
So, I ordered mine 2 days ago via the website. I'm pretty curious how long it will take to arrive here.
Cheers from Germany,

im a college student im studying to be a vet tech and i want this computer too last which a more sound investment the non retina macook pro 15 inch with these specs:2.6 ghz 1 tb ata hd with 8 gb of ram or a maxspec 13 inch mac book pro: 2.9 ghz 1Tb and 8gb of ram any help is appreciated thank you
Hi,
I am a researcher so I store a lot of papers, data, and use numerical software. I have had a 17inch high spec macbook pro for over a year now. I find that apart from the large screen, it was unnecessary to get the high specs. This is why. Firstly, the hard drive is easy to replace and upgrade, apple charge a lot for their own ones. Secondly, the ram in my one was upgradable (which i didnt know when i bought it) and i since upgraded to 16gigs from 8 and its amazing. Thirdly, the newer macbook pros run hotter than the previous ones.
The retina is overrated and the programs for retina need more memory and processing power, so what you find is that your hard drive will get taken over sooner, your mac will run hotter, and battery life lower.
I would say to you, dont worry about the processor speed, the normal speed offered is perfect, more than that is not necessary unless you are running highly demanding apps, the mac will run hotter too. Dont bother getting a large hard drive in the macbook. Get a flash SSD drive, and buy a good portable 2tb HD, like a WD one, and use that to store as much of your work as possible. I believe apple started soldering their ram cards to the motherboard or something so that people cant upgrade. Check in advance and see if the macbook you want can be ram upgradable, then get a lower ram model and buy good 8gb ram cards to make 16gig. Very very easy to install them, took me about two minutes to do mine, it will be much cheaper.
If I think of anything else i will post back. Dont forget to install GFX card status too and use integrated only when on battery, i get up to ten hours of battery life without wifi, around 8 with wifi.
edit. I forgot to mention that if you buy your mac and try to open it you will void the warranty. -

Apple ID password not recognized on MacBook Pro
When initially setup, iCloud recognized my Apple ID and PW on my MacBook Pro; now as of today, it registers the password as invalid, so I reset the password using Apple password 'genie': iPhone and iCloud (web) both recognize my (new) password as valid, Apple Support recongizes my password, but iCloud (MacBook Pro) does not.
There seems to be no recourse w/in iCloud to go any further.
Any Suggestions? other threads?
TIAHi Laramar,
You may need to change the information on your iPhone:
iPhone User Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
View and edit your account: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores, tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. You can turn subscribe to iTunes newsletters, and view Apple’s privacy policy. To change your password, tap the Apple ID field.
Hope this helps!

App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro
App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro. I've done all the necessary software updates but cannot find it in any folders, even when searching via spotlight.
Does the Apple menu have a link to the MAS? What version of Mac OS X 10.6 are you running? Is this a new MBP? If so, did you use the new MBP's update for Mac OS X 10.6.7?

My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.
My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library. Apple TV tells me to turn on Home Sharing on my computer, which I have.
Also:
1. All other ATV connections are working (Netflix, movie previews, etc.)
2. I have all the latest updates for ATV and Itunes
3. Home sharing is turned on for both ATV and MacBook Pro Itunes
4. I am correctly logged in to my Itunes account on both ATV, and Itunes on the MacBook Pro
5. Everything had been working perfectly for approximately one year until yesterday.
I'm not sure what to try next.
Thanks.Thanks. I just closed Itunes, came back today to check it out and the pull down menu with "Computer" or "Apple TV" was inexplicably back again and everything now works. I had tried restarting Itunes, the modem, and router before with no luck. Anyway, it's magically working.
Thanks.
