How protect my new Macbook Pro Retina Display without Kensington lock ???
Hi!
As the title says, how I can protect my new MBP Retina Display?
I found this browsing some forums:
http://store.griffintechnology.com/techsafe-cable-lock-system
But, i don't know if it works with the new MBP Retina.
Any suggestions?
thx

Understood.
I don't understand why Apple did not add a kensington lock. Not need much space...
They have taken what was already an almost impossibly thin engineering marvel and made it significantly thinner. I wonder if, because of this, some compromises to the internal frame had to be made therebye not allowing a locking point to attach to anything "significant" inside the MBP, and, if it was simply tethered to the outer casing, it was be all too easy to snip/break away, making it almost useless.

How protect Macbook Pro Retina Display without Kensington lock

There are a few different Locks for the Retina Macbook Pro. I had this same problem, however- i had found this and hopefully it will answer your question.
MacLocks Lock and Security Case Bundle. This is a Lock which is basically part of the case for your Macbook. It adds an extra 0.7lbs.

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s). Am I going to have to buy an external CD/DVD player to load this one program:(
I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

What cases are good for the new macbook pro retina display 15"
What folio cases are out there that don't damage the new macbook pro retina display 15" I keep looking but can't find any, they all seem to have serious negative reviews
be specific, hard case or CARRY CASE?
hard cases are not recommended, trap in dust and junk and trap heat
A great carry case, and best made for the money are those made by INCASE as seen in Apple stores and amazon.com -
My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks
Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps. -
New MacBook Pro Retina Display
Why Apple doesn't support their new MacBook Pro Retina Display with DVD-Room (Superdrive)?
There is no reason for people to wag around a superdrive all day. Most people never use it anymore.
Well that is simply not true. Everyone I know who uses a laptop still burns CD's and DVD's. Especially if they use their laptops for any kind of work besides downloading movies and music from iTunes or uploading their iphone pictures to facebook. At my job, and at a lot of jobs, documents, video and other media are still exchanged by portable media. The cloud is not yet at a place that there is across the board use of it and there are also security and technical issues when exchanging information in adversarial situations. That are more easily handled by sending a disk. Unless your computer is nothing more than a toy for you, there will be a need to be able to produce portable media for a long time to come. However, with the portable drive add on, it's not a must to have it built-in and you maybe even be able to find a better drive for burning stuff than apples so a portable situation can be a plus. -
Brand new MacBook Pro Retina display wont come up at all.
I got a brand new MacBook Pro retina display a week ago. Since yesterday, it won't come up at all. Screen stays blank, no HD sound, nothing. Does anyone else have same issue which they resolved already?
I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.
Thanks for you suggestion though. I will post an update ones this case gets resolved. -
Reinstalling FCP in new Macbook Pro Retina from time machine backup. Have all serial numbers back to FCP1 but I am warned I have an invalid serial number. How can that be! I need to install and use this weekend.
Thank you in advance for the help.How, exactly are you doing this?
When I restored my new computer from the time machine, the software was transfer to the new machine, in the past when double clicking the icon it would come up and ask for the serial numbers. This time was the same with the exception of:
I did not enter an invalid serial number, I tried all the numbers I have. But none of them worked.
I will try to install from discs.
Thanks for your help. -
Why is my new Macbook Pro Retina Display getting so hot?
I've had my Macbook Pro Retina Display for nearly a week and it works like a dream and I love it.
However it does get rather hot, around the F keys it's almost too hot to touch, all I use are internet applications and occasionally Spotify and iTunes so it's not like I'm constantly running hefty software.
I just wanted to check that this is normal as this is my first Macbook, I've been a PC user for 10 years.
Any help would be appreciated.Download iStat Pro and report back with the temp readings.

Macbook Pro Retina Display Disk is locked
Hi,
I have a macbook pro retina display with mountain lion 10.8.1.
Today I shutdown my machine and now when I try to turn it on it goes to a progress bar and spinning and it just turns off itself. I have tried recovery mode and it turns out the disk needs repair and after repair it says it can't be repaired and it should be reformat again. I've tried safe mode but it keeps doing the progress bar and spinning and it turns off again.
I don't know what happened to the machine it was on my desk all the time and it has flash storage so no failing in hard disk and bad sector.
What should I do? (I don't have a external hard drive with GUID to install ML on it and see if I can open my Macintosh HD. And I don't have a Time Machine backup).Do you have any backups? If the answer is no, you've quite possibly lost all your data.

How to get new Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) to detect external monitor via HDMI?
Hi everyone, this is my first Mac and for the most part it's been really, really wonderful.
This is my first major glitch: I cannot get it to detect my external display: It is an ASUS PA248Q, manufactured Aug 2012.
The HDMI cable according to my Amazon history is at least 1.3c from 2010, "Fanatic Digital Imperial Series Gold-Plated HDMI Cable (6 feet)".
It works with perfectly connecting an AmazonTV box to an old Samsung TV, with vivid clarity, unlike our cableTV signal.
Just in case, I have a new HDMI cable on order, which claims to be of newest standards.
The Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) has the standard Intel Iris from the Haswell chips, as well as Nvidia GT 750M, the latter which I don't think has been used yet.
The ASUS display says: HDMI NO SIGNAL.
I have tried shutting them down and replugging the cable. I don't know what the ideal order is. The Macbook Pro is plugged into AC power, as suggested.
In System Preferences>Display, I press the Option key to select "Detect Displays" option (seriously unintuitive).
I have also tried resetting the NVRAM:
I shut the machine down. Pressed the power button, then quickly held the quadruplet: Option-Command-P-R (a double handful) and waited for the machine to chime a 2nd time. Tried to detect external display no luck.
Next, I reset the SMC:
I shut the machine down. Then I pressed Shift-Control-Option-Power for about 5 to 10s. Then I turned on the machine normally.
NVRAM & SMC steps were from an old youtube video, as the instructions I had did not explain how to do so clearly.
Please let me know if I"m doing something wrong.
Seems so exorbitant to pay $350 for Apple Care; that's a the cost for a whole new cheap laptop.
I will search the forums again. If anyone answers this, thank so much!Hello there, willr314.
It sounds like you've covered most of the practical steps found in this Knowledge Base article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573#1
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
The article does offer some additional links and recommendations as well:
These articles may offer additional assistance and information about displays and video adapters:
Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed lid mode with an external display
Apple Cinema Display (30-inch DVI) has 1280 x 800 as the maximum available resolution
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
For assistance with Retina displays, please see Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display.
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
