Does a Lion Disk Come With The New Macbook Pros?

I recently ordered a new mbp, and am planning on swapping the hdd for an intel ssd. Do the new macbook pros that come with lion pre-installed also include a lion install dvd like the old laptops do, or will I need to download lion from the app store and burn it to a disk to install it on my new ssd?

OS X Lion is not being included as an install DVD with new Macs. (It does come pre-installed.) Apple is offering a $69 USB stick with Lion pre-installed for owners would like to own a solid state means of recovery. Lion is strictly internet based with its recovery features - in other words - Macs will need to be able to connect to the internet to restore a computer with HDD failure (or some other issue where you need to restore the system.)

Does anyone else have problems with the new macbook pro trackpad?

I exchanged my new macbook pro last week because there was a major trackpad lag. Every time I put it to sleep and woke it up, the trackpad would delay 5 or more seconds. I took it in to the Apple store and they said it could be a software issue and I exchanged it. However, I just opened up this one up from the package today, and there's still a lag. Does anyone else have problems with that? I don't want to exchange it again, so is there something I can do?

Also, is it mandatory to run software updates when you first turn on your computer?

Apogee Duet One with the new MacBook Pro?

Can I still use my old Duet with the new Macbook Pro? I know the Firewire 400 is gone. is there a workaround?
Thanks

You would need a FireWire 400-800 adapter, and (with the Retina Display model) a Thunderbolt-FireWire adapter.

Is there a DTP programme that comes with the standard Macbook Pro or would I have to buy Pages etc?

Is there a DTP application that comes with the standard Macbook Pro or would I have to buy Pages or a similar app? Thanks.

Any perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro?

I'm still not sure if to go for the new Macbook Pro 2.8 ghz, or the 6 months earlier 2.5 ghz model (march 2008).
I love to go for the new Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure about my setup. Now I have:
- extern 7200 rpm bus powered LaCie firewire 800 hard drive
- Saffire with firewire 400 (thinking about moving to Apogee Duet)
Will the express card really help? I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400? Also that a bus powered hard drive doesn't work, and that it needs it's own power to run with the express card?
Bottom line:
What would be the perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro? I gladly invest in a different audio interface (or anything else) if it really fits and works as pro audio setup!

I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400?
I don't think this is right. As I understand it, the advantage of having one of your devices on an express card slot is specifically so it is on its own bus.
Then both devices will operate on their own speed.
However, this is true for the older model Macbook Pros when you use both FW ports that are built in, because even though the machine has two ports, they each feed one firewire bus. So if you have a device plugged into each port, the one plugged into the 800 will only run at 400 speed because they're both on the same bus. Using an express card means both devices can operate at their own speed.
If you want the newer machine I think you should get it. Then you can buy a firewire 400 express card, plug your interface into that, and plug your FW 800 drive into the main firewire port. This will give you better performance from your peripherals than an older machine with both devices plugged into the built in FW ports.
Good Luck!

Which external modem works with the new Macbook Pro 15"

The Apple external modem does not work on the new Macbook Pro. I get a message that it is incompatible

I am using the same OSX 10.6.8 Works fine. I akso use Page sender fax center to fax with but they just emailed me that once Lion is out Page Sender Fax won't work any longer. Guess I'll use the built in fax software

Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it? How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)? Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not. But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
Thanks!

Thanks. I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat. Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP. Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had. I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack. A beautiful thing. I'll play with it some more to see how it performs. But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant.
So far, so good.

Extra plug with the new macbook pro

I got the new macbook pro 13inch.
Along with the charger I also got a small plug with it like an extra piece.
What is that

It replaces the cord itself, you can plug the Magsafe directly into a socket using that (localised) adapter - be warned though that most of them don't have an earth connection and so you might get some 'tingle' when you move your palms over the front of your MacBook Pro.

No Lion Operating System Disk(s) with my new MacBook Pro?

Hi, Just bought my wife a new MacBook Pro yesterday. We are probably old school but we were both surprised to NOT find Lion OS disks in the box.
We called the Apple Store where we made the purchase and they told us they were not currently shipping Lion OS disks with new systems???
How can obtain OS disk(s) for Lion and her new MacBook Pro?
Optional purchase? A website for a download? Anyone else run into this situation?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Jim

Hi luke: Yes I know how you feel. I felt thesame way when those forst imacs came out with no floppy disk drives and with a read-only optical one. But now you can't find floppies anywhere xo life goes on.
In any case you can, at least, make your own recovery disk. I did it and it works just fine. Here's a set of directions that I followed that I copied from some poster (sorry but I lost the originator so can't give him credit).
          •.          Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Mac running Snow Leopard.
          •.          Right click on “Mac OS X Lion” installer and choose the option to “Show Package Contents.”
          •.          Inside the Contents folder that appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
          •.          Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to another folder like the Desktop.
          •.          Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button.
          •.          Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to burn, insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot Disc to come out toasty hot.
It is important that you burn your Lion boot disc or backup the Lion installer prior to installing Lion itself. If left in the Applications folder the installer will be removed after the Lion installation is completed. If you are reading this article after upgrading to Lion all is not lost. A fresh copy of the Lion installer can always be redownloaded from the Mac App Store by clicking on the Purchased tab with the Option key held down.
With the Lion boot disc you can boot any Lion compatible Mac, and install 10.7 just like you installed previous versions of Mac OS X. You can even use Disk Utility's Restore function to image your Lion boot disc image onto a external drive suitable for performing a clean install on a optical-drive-less MacBook Air, or Mac mini. Clean installs with Lion are easy once you find where Apple has hidden the boot disk.
Hope this is useful to you.

HT1338 does OS X come with a new Macbook Pro

I bought a new Macbook Pro, just wounderign do i have to buy OS X or, do it come free??

Depends on the date the Mac was built. At this point it should come with 10.8. However, if you boot it up and find it has 10.7 or something thereabouts you can apply for a free copy of Mountain Lion.

Using a Pac File with the new Macbook Pros

I have recently purchased a new Macbook pro and to access the internet at my college, I need to use a Pac File, and My class mate has the drop down option to select it due to their macbook pro is an older model and my new macbook doesn't, how do I get the "Using Pac File" option?
Thanks people in advance for your help!

ILife '11 comes with all new MacBook Pros right?

I have a fairly new MacBook pro that came with Snow Leopard and had iLife '11 installed on it to begin with.
I don't know what discs came with the computer because my company's Desktop Support group gave me the laptop when it was ready and kept any discs.
We recently upgraded it to Lion, I had them do a fresh install, wiped the old image and installed Lion from whatever media they have.
Well once given back to me I'm finding that iLife '11 is not on here now...shouldn't it be? Is it something that was on a disc I never saw and I can just install it again? Is iLife '11 supposed to be part of the Lion image they installed?
What would have happened have happened had my HDD crashed before when I had Snow Leopard? Is there one or two discs to reinstall OS and iLife?
Trying to figure out what to do and how to get iLife back on my machine now.
Thanks.

Ask your IT people to reinstall iLife from the discs that came with your computer when it was purchased, or from whatever backups the company maintains.
iLife is not part of the Mac OS, so under your circumstances it needs to be reinstalled separately.

After researching this topic, I found the placing an old SIM card in a new iPad would be impossible. There is no way for consumers to remove the back cover... Without dropping it off a building. My best suggestion: Use the current plan up first. Then buy a new plan.

Anyone else have difficulty using third party software and websites with the new MacBook Pro with retinal display?

I just returned my new Mac book pro with retinal display after three very disappointing three weeks of trying to use certain websites and other third party programs (Quickbooks, Raintree) that would not function properly. My husband own the previous MacBook Pro version with the built in CD rom and I was able to use those above mentioned websites and problems with the no difficulties. Did I just happen to get a lemon or is this a function of the computer being too new for third party software?

Programs such as Quickbooks pro for Mac, I was able to import my previous data and I was able to enter about 5 new transactions before it stopped being able to save transactions. Other programs ( Raintree ) that I use via VM software as a windows based program I was able to access and use some features but not others. On the web browsers (both safari and Mozilla) I use a website that has an analyzer feature and it would pull up a blank screen in the place where I would enter pertinent information. They tried pulling this website at the apple store today and the same issue happened. All these programs and website I am able to access and run smoothly with no issues on my husbands MacBook Pro , which is why I returned my MacBook. I just wondered if others were experiencing similar issues with their MacBook with retinal display.

But will the new 2013/2014 macbook's work with my thunderbolt display???

Yes. The New Retina MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports. Plug the display into one of the Thunderbolt ports.
You will need a MagSafe adapter.
