Hearing weird sounds intermittently from my new retina display MBP..

sound is something like sound of whiplash in pocket whip app. But its not from any app..nor its one of the notification alert sound. (i played n checked all)
i read in some old forum that it might be because i'm making some errors while using mac & hench the sound. If that is the case, i would like to know how to disable it.
if its not because of that, i would like to know why am I hearing these sounds repeatedly?
Reply would be appreciated.

I too concur on this. I hear frequent sounds from my MBP (non-retina) 13", which sounds like a whip-lash. And sometimes it keeps repeating very frequently, annoying me and everyone around. Upon checking the Preferences -> Sound, there is no such 'sound' listed. Also, surprsingly this seems to be the only article I found on the internet where someone has raised the issue.
Would really appreciate for any resolution for the same.

  • Has anyone tried the new retina display MBP with a projector?

    I bought a new MacbookPro with retina display online the other day (hasn't arrived yet).  I use this primarily for business doing presentations etc.  Has anyone tried connecting a projector using the Thunderbolt VGA adapter?  Just curious if it'll work.
    Thanks

    Similar problem. I used my macbook Pro Retina with my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter all through the fall, and never had any trouble with it. Just before Christmas I got a Thunderbolt display.
    Since that time, whenever I connect the projector, I get a black screen. I can see and move the mouse, but nothing else. Other computers still work with the projector.
    I'm not certain if the Thunderbolt Display has anything to do with this or not, but it's just the timing that it happened.
    Grateful for anyone that can offer help!

  • How do I transfer files from mac with snow leopard to a new retina display mac

    What is the easiest way to transfer files from my old mac(2008) snow leopard to my new retina display mac book pro?

    Easiest? Well there is some sort of wireless transfer thing, but I hear it takes FOREVER like several days and it's glitchy.
    The Retina doesn't have a Firewire port I believe, so Target Disk Mode is out, unless you have a adapter and I don't know how well that will work out. Cost another $30 for the adpatper I bet.
    The likely most easiest?
    Run down to any computer or office store and pickup a powered external USB hard drive that's the same size or larger then the old Mac's boot drive.
    Boot the old Mac and download Carbon Copy Cloner.
    (or use the TimeMachine if it asks, but it takes a reallly long time and if there are problems, then it's harder to recover files from)
    Format the external drive in Disk Utility with Partition: option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled (default setting)
    Use CCC to clone OLD A boot drive to External Drive B, takes about a few hours depending how much stuff you have.
    Hook up drive to new Mac, (either clone or TimeMachine drive)
    Use the free Migration Assistant in your Application Utility folder to transfer over, but creates a new user account (you can later delete one)
    Or if you haven't set up the new Mac yet, when you do set it up during that process, you can transfer from the External Drive B and it won't have the account you set the machine up with naturally just uses the ones from the clone or TimeMachine drive.
    Once your fine and dandy on the new machine, then Disk Utility erase and use the external USB to create either a bootable clone with CCC or a TimeMachine drive for backup.
    Since you need a backup drive anyway, this method is better and happens to be reliable and easy.

  • HT1338 why is iTunes pixel with my new retina display

    i was looking at itunes and noticed that it is all pixaled, the font is with my new retina display....

    SIM needs to be tested in a working phone. These have history of failing during Updates/Restores.
    You bought iPhone from AT&T ? Right.
    What is the model no. of iPhone printed at the back of phone ? Entry under Settings > Carrier Shows: AT&T xx.x
    Try toggling Airplane mode under Settings.

  • Trying to download Elements on my new Retina display IMAC but I get an error box saying the certificate doesn't match.

    I trying to download the trial for Elements but a dialogue box popped up and said the certificates don't match. What does that mean? Does it suggest that if I bought Elements that I couldn't download it? I just got a new Retina display iMAC and I'm trying to transfer the software but my older version of Elements 10 wouldn't install. So I thought maybe time to upgrade to 13 but I can't even download the trial. Any suggestions?

    It means OS X doesn't like the security certificate for the page. You can try downloading from here as an alternative:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    This is an adobe-approved site, but you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make sense.

  • I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.

  • Can I connect my thunderbolt display's power cable to supply power to the new retina display macbook pro?

    I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?

    You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:

  • By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?

    By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?

    If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

  • Why does the web look TERRIBLE on my new Retina display?

    The new retina display is fantastic, but browsing the web looks horrible.  Can anything be done to improve the web browsing experience? 

    Most websites are designed to look good on low end computers, typically with a resolution of around 1024x768.
    Our retina macbooks have such a high resolution display that they basically show the flaws you would not normally see on a low resolution display.Text that is rendered using the mac os system fonts should look beautiful, but low resolution pictures and non-native text will look terrible on any website or application.
    There is no real fix for this issue, other than hoping the web in general starts moving to higher resoltuion content in the future. The same problem exists with the retina iPad, and in my opinion, things look even worse on the ipad since you tend to be zoomed in further while browsing the web.

  • I am unable to use the new retinal display with the 600 series smart board

    I am a teacher and have both an older macbookpro (2006 2gigs ram 10.7) and the new retinal display macbookpro (10.8.2).  My school had two versions of smartboards (one is the 685 with a UX60 projector; the other is a newer 800 series).  My older macbookpro works with both boards but my new macbookpro works only with the newer 800 series.  It does not show any display at all with the older boards.  I have tried reducing the resolution but that does not help.  I have taken it to apple and it checks out fine.  I have spent hours with smartboard support in Calgary.  They can't figure it out but have never used a Mac with a retinal display and the older board or the UX60.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ed S

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • HT4889 Problems with migration assistant from 2010 MBP to Retina Display MBP using ethernet

    I am trying to use migration assistant from my 2010 MBP to my Retina Display MBP using ethernet (with thunderbolt adapter) however it can not find the computer. It only finds it over wifi. I have updated all my software on monutain lion. Can anyone help?

    I know I am not answering your question but I would try to use FW800.
    I imagine the 2010 MBP does not have TB or it whould be better a TB direct connection.
    Last try: have you managed to use migration assistant "both ways" ? I mean you can manage to use it from each of the 2 connected Macs.

  • Large library workflow with Retina Display MBP?

    I presently use a Mac Pro with 4TB SATA drives, but my old MBP just died and I need to replace it.
    The problem with new Macbooks is the very limited storage space. In my old MBP, I had two 1 TB drives (one in main bay, other in the optical drive bay via the OWC adapter).
    Unfortunately, the new Retina Display Macs have insufficient storage options. I need lots of drive space when I travel (had 2TB, and that was on a 5 y/o MPB), and I really loathe having to cart around sloppy external drives which need auxiliary power, etc.
    I know OWC makes this product which allows for a bit of extra storage (use the 768 GB drive as storage and a new 480 GB internal for the boot drive). But this solution is sloppier (external plugins) than the simple old setup with two internal drives.
    I've also never really had a great system for syncing libraries between the MBP and the MP tower, it was always cumbersome.
    So, are there any other pro photogs out there who have a good system for location shoots and syncing with large libraries?
    I'm contemplating getting rid of the Mac Pro tower all together, but making a MBP work well seems problematic.
    Also, FWIW, I shoot HDR, architecture mainly, and can fill a 64GB card in a day or two of shooting with my Nikon D800. That's why I need a lot of laptpp storage; When I travel, I may be gone for a month, and can easily shoot 500GB+ of content. If I use a new MBP as my only computer (and sell the MP), then I need a lot of drive space for email and other docs. Currently, but home folder has about 1.3 TB in it, and that's without any photo libraries (I have itunes and some video in there).
    Any insight or ideas appreciated...

    Hi,
    I can not advise you on iPhoto since I have not used it for about 4 years.  All my pictures are linked to Aperture in some way.
    With respect to Aperture and Aperture Libraries I have several configurations on my iMac, depending on the life cycle
    A bit about structure
    For each year, I generate a nested folder structure that looks like this:
    2013 Pictures
        January 2013
        February 2013
        thru to December 2013
        Misc Pictures 2013
        Misc Libraries 2013
        photo.net to hold pictures upload to this site
        facebook to hold pictures upload to this site
       and etc
    Inside each monthly folder there will project date folders that have this general structure (YYMMDD) so inside the January 2013 folder one might the following
       January 2013
           130106
               130106 NEF (the folder that holds my RAW files)
               130106 JPEG (things that I upload or transmit to clients)
           130110 
              130110 NEF (the folder that holds my RAW files)
              130110 JPEG (things that I upload or transmit to clients)
    and etc.  For any images related to the project, I usually store in their respective folder.
    In fact I have 2011, 2012 and 2013 pictures on a single 6 TB Thunderbolt drive.  The 2011, 2012, and 2013 Aperture libraries reside on my internal iMac drive.  This libraries are referenced and point to the 6 TB Thunderbolt drive.  This drive is getting full so when 2013 is over, I will move all of the Aperture Libraries over to the Thunderbolt drive.  Those libaries already know where the pictures are so typically I don't have to do much more than drag and drop the libaries to the Thunderbolt drive.
    I will pick up a 3 8TB Thunderbolt drives and start building a new collection starting with 2014 pictures.  I will likely last through 2016 or 2017. These new Aperture libraries will reside on my internal iMac drive since I have moved older libraries to the external drive.
    Earlier this year, I consolidated my pictures from 2001-2010 on to a single 8 TB Thunderbolt drive (called 2001-2010 Pictures).  They were spread out over 5 or 6 different disks.  I still have those disk just in case, but I only had to do the following:
    I dragged and dropped each years picture folder to the 2001-2010 Picture drive.  So 2001 Pictures, 2002 Pictures, 2003 Pictures and etc.  Then I dragged and dropped each yearly Aperture Llibrary over to the 2001-2010 Picture drive: 2001 Aperture Library, 2002 Aperture Library and etc.  At this point, the Aperture Libraries do NOT know where the pictures are located since I have moved the pictures from their original drive to a new drive.  BUT, open a particular years Aperture Library, go to File: Locate Referenced Files and point the library to one correct picture (I may have 30-40,000 pictures in a particular year) in the appropriate Pictures folder and select connect all.  Aperture will do all the work to reconnect all of the referenced images back to their master pictures. 
    One last step: Verify that all of your pictures are reconnected.  Go to the search icon in the Aperture Library and 'Add Rule:File Status' and make sure all of pictures are reconnected to the library.  Occasionally, I will find a picture that is not connected but will a little bit of work, I can find the original and move it into the library so they can be connected again.
    AND BACKUP AND ARCHIVE AS YOU GO!
    So when I want to find a picture from the time frame 2001-2010, I mount the 2001-2010 Picture drive, open the relevant Aperture library and I have my picture of interest.  This works pretty well, if you keyword your pictures as you go along. 
    Lastly, I have not had any difficulty running Aperture Libraries (either referenced or managed) on external drives (USB 2.0, USB 3.0, FW or Thunderbolt).  In fact, nearly all of my editing is on USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 passport drive, before I bring them into the master yearly library.
    As I said at the beginning, I don't have recent experience with iPhoto, but I would assume similar strategies would work.  But I suspect that using both iPhoto and Aperture makes your work flow more complicated than it needs to be.  What functionality does iPhoto give you that can not be found in Aperture?
    Good luck and remember: backup, backup, backup.

  • Weird sound coming from above F1-F3 keys - locks computer up

    I just got my MacBook Pro back from Apple and they did not fix the problem below (although, they fixed a number of small things, thankfully, like the bad speakers, crash from sleep, flaking keyboard paint, etc.). I am taking it back in today and need to figure out how to best describe this problem or point them in the right direction, since it was not addressed.
    About a week ago, my MacBook Pro starting making this weird sound above the F1-F3 keys, something resembling a loud hard drive accessing sound or a sparking sound. When this happens, the cursor turns into the colored spinning beach ball, locking up my ability to interact with my computer. This continues for maybe 5-10 minutes. Then the sound stops, and the beachball goes away. But, it could come back anytime. This makes working on my computer virtually impossible as there are times it happens 3-4 times in an hour. It comes randomly, at any time. It seems some likely if the computer has been running for awhile and is overheating, but it has been known to come on bootup sometimes, as well.
    No idea what his is - I already had the Main Logic Board replaced and it didn't help, so it must be another component up there underneath the F1-F3 keys.
    Any expert advice? Thank you.
