How do i turbo boost my 2.7 i7 macbook pro 15" retina to 3.7?

Hello everyone...
...can someone tell me how to turbo boost my 2.7 i7 macbook pro 15" retina to 3.7?
Being quite new to laptops (my G4 lasted me 9 years!) I'm not quite sure what to do or look for.
Any advice much appreciated!

Turbo boost isn't user controlled, it's technology that automatically (and dynamically) kicks in based on the usage of your machine. For more information:

Or just google, 'Intel Turbo Boost' for tons of resources.

    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

    how to activate turbo boost feature in new mac book pro

    Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.01 automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the rated operating frequency if they’re operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
    Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests a frequency higher than the rated frequency of the processor.  Whether the processor enters into and the amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 state depends on the workload and operating environment.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • How to fix resolution problem in Photoshop CC for Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display

    I design email promotions for my website in Photoshop CC on a new Macbook w/ retina screen. However, document sizes appear much smaller in my Macbook than they did on my windows laptop. A 700px wide document now appears to be 350px wide.
    When I designed the email graphics, upload, and then view in a browser, everything is pixelated. The document/graphic is still 700px, but its pixelated in the browser. After some Googling, I have a better understanding of the problem but not a complete understanding. Its all so technical. I've read that some designers choose to create their graphics with another lower resolution monitor connected to their Macbook (if I explained that correctly)... not an option for me, though, unfortunately.
    How can I fix this problem? I basically design for the web so its important that these graphics are at their highest resolution when viewed on a web browser. Any solutions? Help! I will try everything in my power. 

    First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help out. It
    is much appreciated.
    The two things that first come to mind are: I have many friends in the
    industry who paint solely in Photoshop and do just fine. My computer is
    technically "old," but the specs are still just fine—even the graphics card
    is the exact same one that is in the new Cintiq Companions (the all-in-one
    computer/cintiq machines).
    And, more so, I was painting on it for a few weeks without noticing
    anything. A part of me wonders, did I just not notice it until it became
    dramatically worse?
    I do remember painting fur, which requires making tons of small brush
    strokes over an extended period of time, and I don't remember there being
    any lag.
    By the way, I forgot to mention: I've even tried going into the Performance
    preferences and disabling the graphics card altogether. No luck. Still an
    issue.
    As far as painting at 100%: I do notice an amount of improvement. The one
    brush stamp, or space, whatever you call it, issue only happened on the
    first brush stroke (every time) and then just once otherwise. The lag was
    tremendous—and I compared it to Painter's performance, which had no issues
    whatsoever.
    I am really hoping to be able to rely on Photoshop more and more, as its
    tools for other aspects of image manipulation are far more robust than
    Painter's. And the working compatibility with Adobe InDesign, Flash, and
    Adobe Media Encoder are sooooooo useful for speeding up the workflow.
    Hopefully we can find out what's going wrong.
    I'm truly baffled on this one.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display? It keeps asking me to quit Safari in the background.

    Yes, you have to quit Safari for the Flash Installer to complete the installation process. It's sounds as if you've download Flash Player and are trying to install it?

  • How to Enable Turbo Boost?

    I have HP Pavillion G6 (core i5 2430M) .. I want to know how to enable turbo boost?

    Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is a way to automatically run the processor core faster than the marked frequency if the part is operating under power, temperature, and current specifications limits of the Thermal Design Power (TDP). This results in increased performance of both single and multi-threaded applications. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 takes advantage of the power efficiencies introduced with having an integrated die for processor and graphics. It is also optimized for the new micro-architecture that was introduced with the Intel® Core™ i7-2xxx processor series and the Intel® Core™ i5-2xxx processor series.

  • MSI X58 PLATINUM, the latest bios and how to enable turbo boost

    1) Wich motherboard is ? MSI X58 PLATINUM or MSI X58 PLATINUM SLI ?
    2) What is the lastest version Bios and where can i get ?
    3) How to enable turbo boost in this motherboard ?
    4) Thanks so much guys. 

    My bad. The obvious lack of your self research got the better of me. I do not take helping, if I can, lightly. This is new technology, & a lot of expertise is in short supply. I downloaded the manual on this board & read the bios section, & in CMOS Setup, you should find an "Enable" setting for Turbo Boost. If you don't, please contact MSI Tech Staff @ http://ocss.msi.com.tw Also, (in your manual), is a reference under "Intel Turbo Boost Tech", which clearly states "for further information please refer to Intel's official website". By your original post, CPU-Z says it's an SLI? What did you buy? Does it say on the retail box? At MSI's website, the X58 Platinum (not the SLI), has version 1.0 bios offered in three global region zip files. M7522v1.0 Euro.zip, M7522v1.0 ASIA.zip, & E7522v1.0.zip. J.T.N. is correct, the SLI board takes something else. Are both boards bios's compatable? I have no idea. Recommend step one as to confirm with MSI what board you truly have & go from there.

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • HOW DO I FIND THE EJECT BUTTON ON MACBOOK PRO WITH RETINA

    It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.
    The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

    I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems.  I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.  Just seems stupid to me I guess.  I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.
    I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.
    The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target.

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)
