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.

Something has changed - cannot use remote prointer with my new MacBook Pro

I replaced my 3 year old MacBookPro with a new one 3 weeks ago (late April 2010). I just discovered that my 4 month old remote laser pointer (RemotePoint RF VP4810R and RF wireless from SMK-Interlink - www.smklink.com) will not work with this new system. All it is supposed to do is advance (and go back) slides in Keynote. It works with every older Mac and every PC, but not with the new MacBookPro. I brought the device into the Apple store and it works with all older Macs they had but NONE of the new MacBookPros. Any ideas on what I can do? The store "genius's" blame it on the new chipset - a hypothesis with no solution. It used to be that Apple was plug and play. What is happening? One theory from Interlink is that they new Mac may not be effective in switching to lower speed USB devices. If true, it could affect many other devices.

I have found a temporary solution. Combining ideas from the Apple store guys (it's a chipset problem) and the SMK-Interlink customer service (new MacBookPro may not slow down for the really slow speed USB devices), I attached my combination card reader/USB hub I have to handle my multiple card types from my cameras. I attached the USB cable from the RemotePointer's RF Wireless device to the hub and everything works! So this may not be just a problem with this device, but any simple but slow USB device you plug into the new MacBook Pro. But that's my opinion, an untested theory.

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!

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.

I'm using CS6 with my new macbook pro why is it all pixalized

just downloaded the trial for the 30 day of photoshop CS6 on my new MACBOOK PRO with retina display and its very very pixalzed. WHY?!

It shouldn't be at all. I'm running Photoshop CS6 on a 2011 MBP and it's working fine. The only thing that I can figure out is that you may not be running at the recommended resolution? What res are you working in? Photoshop is not yet optimized for the full screen display max on the MBP-R.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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!

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.

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?

Using Live 5 with the new Macbook

Sorry, I didn't see a section for Ableton's Live software. But maybe you guys will have some insight.
I record music. Mainly guitar tracks with drum and base loops. Very simple stuff.
My old laptop was an older Powerbook G4 that my employer bought me for work purposes but I also use it to support my recording hobby. I used a program called Live 5 to put my music together. This worked well for me I never had any problems and the computer could handle quite a large CPU load.
My employer decided to upgrade my computer a few weeks ago. So now I have a MacBook 2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 gigs of ram (more than enough)
Everything about this computer appears to be superior to my older powerbook G4, except for one thing. The CPU's are through the roof when I'm trying to arrange and record music within Live 5. It is such a problem that I can't even turn on one single drum loop without the CPUs Blasting off to 50%. This causes a really nasty sound issue. It's like Snap, Crackle and Pop got into my computer!
Why am I having this problem? Is there an issue with the Macbook's hardware that I should know about? These are supposed to be the ultimate media creation devices, a simple drum loop should not be enough to fry the processor.
I am wondering if I need the latest version of Live. They have it up to Live 7 now. I'm thinking it may be an issue with the old software not meshing with the new processor. Unfortuneatly its a $150 upgrade for me and I need to know if it will solve the issue before I buy it. Or do I just have the wrong computer.

Sorry, I didn't see a section for Ableton's Live software
That's because this is an Apple forum, not an Ableton one.
You have a PPC version of Live. The first Universal Binary version of Live was 5.2 - this contains Intel code for your Macbook.
You are currently running the PPC version under emulation (ie sloooow).
You need to upgrade Live to *at least* 5.2 to use Live natively on an Intel Mac.

How to use hard drives with the new mac pro

A few quick questions about upgrading to new Mac pro desktop
I currently have 4 internal hard drives for a total of 8T
What will the solution be to add storage to the new desktop?
I assume it will be thunderbolt options?
Lets say I wanted at least 8TB of storage to add to the computer
and attached the storage via thunderbolt will it be as fast data throughput
as the harddrives in my current computer hooked up to the external bus?
I also have a pci card running my audio plugins for Universal Audio how will those pci
cards work on the new mac pro?

Also will the transfer rate with the pegas be as fast as if the drives were connected to the bus in the machines like the old mac pro?
To answer that, think of this as a Bottleneck problem. The overall performance is as slow as the slowest device.
At this writing typical rotating drives can produce a momentary burst at 125 MBytes/sec or 1,000 Mbits/sec. Only FireWire 800 is starting to be a limit for that -- EVERYTHING else is faster. Thunderbolt-1 is 10,000 Mbits/sec -- ten times faster.
The best SSD can produce a burst at maybe 800 MBytes/sec or 6,400 Mbits/sec. There is not a big speed difference in an SSD RAID, because the latency is already low. But the 10,000 Mbits/sec of ThunderBolt-1 is still plenty fast enough for that as well.
If ThunderBolt-2 devices really can run a single data stream at 20,000 Mbits/sec, that does not make ANYTHING faster -- it just moves the ceiling (potential bottleneck) a bit farther away.

Using my iphone with a new macbook pro?

Hey, I had my laptop stolen recently and just bought a new macbook pro - can anyone tell me how to hook up my iphone to itunes? i've authorised the itunes account but it keeps saying i have to wipe the iphone and start again.. is there a way round this?
cheers!

Welcome to the forums!
First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Next, put at least one contact and one event in address book & ical, they can be fake, it doesn't matter. Next, connect your phone, do not sync at this point. Right click the phone in the device pane & select reset warnings. Next, go up to "File", "transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer". All of your purchased music & apps will be transferred. Music you ripped on your own won't. You'll have to use third party software like "Touchcopy" for that. Use touchcopy first if you want the ripped music, as it will be wiped when you sync. Once all of this is done, you can sync. A popup regarding your contacts & calendars will appear asking to merge or replace. Select merge. Regarding the rest of your data, you can use phoneview to extract that before you sync.
