How to activate WIFI port on Macbook Pro Retina?

Hello,
I have a new Macbook Pro Retina and I can't to connect it to Internet because the port WIFI is disabled, and when I try to enable it, this port and ethernet port appears inactive and I cant select it.
Some help?
Thanks.

Go to the Network system preferences and choose Edit Locations from the Locations drop-down menu. In here click the plus button and create a new location. Then click the Done button to close the window, followed by the Apply button.
With this done, select your Wi-Fi connection and click the button to turn it on. At this point you should be able to select an available Wi-Fi network and log into it.

  • How do I connect a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina to an Epson Power Lite 61p LCD Projector?

    I am trying to attach an Epson PowerLite 61p LCD Projector to my 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, but I cannot find which type of adapter I need. I would assume whichever adapter is required it must connect via thunderbolt. However, I do not know if the required adapter is a "Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter," "Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter," or a "Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter." I would deeply appreciate your help and guidance. Thanks!

    It does not matter whether you get an Apple adapter or a third pary one.  What you have there is a Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, but as you know, your new MacBook no longer has an MDP port!
    Thunderbolt to VGA adapters do not exist but there are plenty of HDMI to VGA adapters out there:

  • How can I use SDXC on MacBook Pro Retina and Bootcamp?

    I bought a Patriot LX Series 128GB SDXC card recently for my MacBook Pro Retina. When I insert it on Mac, it is recognized no problem. In Windows 8 (on Boot Camp), it scans indefinitely and often-time it crashes Windows Explorer, just to insert it. Has anyone had any issues with SDXC on Boot Camp? For me, it's just not working.

    Lion tech Specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    But the latest Aperture requires 10.7.5 at least; I cannot find the TechSpecs for that system, if I remember correctly 64 bit processor was mandatory, same as for Mt. Lion.
    One other thought - if both systems cannot be upgraded to the same OS, why not create a Snowleopard partition on the newer mac and have both machines run Aperture 3.2.4. This would require to restore the previous version of the Aperture library from backup, however.

  • How hard can i push my MacBook Pro Retina?

    So I like to game on my macbook, but at the same time I'm afraid it won't last very long if I continue with it. If I have best resolution, maximum framerate (fps) etc will this hurt my mac or slow it down?
    I'm rocking a mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inc, with intel core i5, 2.6 ghz and 8 gigs of ram. Latest version of osx (yosemite). And I have intel iris 1536MB graphics card.
    So if I push my Mac too hard will it "survive" or whatever? I thought these computers were meant for this stuff, but I don't know, that's why i'm asking.
    Will battery life also drain after a while?
    I have tried best graphics and it handles it very well, but I have no idea if it's a smart thing to do. Will it destroy my mac?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Magnus

    Macs are specifically designed for maximum performance, and are impossible to damage through normal use as long as you observe its published environmental specifications. That includes gaming or whatever else you need it to do. If it should reach a thermal limit that cannot be altered, it will throttle its performance to remain within its operational specifications. If that fails to keep it cool, it will simply shut down to protect itself.
    Avoid any clever third party hacks such as those intended to manipulate the exhaust fan speed. Doing that will only draw in more environmental contaminants than would normally occur, and could conceivably render its warranty void.
    No battery works as well as a brand new one. They are all wear items that will require eventual replacement. Usually, by that time your Mac will be so old you'll want to replace it anyway.
    It's obviously an unscientific observation, but I find that the less people obsess about their Macs, the longer they tend to last. Expect your Mac to serve you well until 2020, at least. By that time who knows what we'll be doing with them.

  • How well would the new 13" Macbook Pro Retina handle HD video editing, in say Adobe Premier?

    Hi there.
    I'm buying a new Macbook Pro and would like to know how well the different specs would handle editing HD videos from a GoPro. I've mostly been filming in 720 because my current white macbook (2008) is dying, but wouldnt mind filming in 1080.
    This is what im consudering

    Will it be powerful enough? Would it be very future proof?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I would agree that the $200 upgrade to the i7 would probably be the best choice if you want the 13" form factor. If you're able (and since these systems are so new, I've not seen many heads-up comparisons), I would ask to load Premier on both an i5 model and an i7 model and see which renders video more quickly. Usually, a lot of rendering depends on the GPU but, as I said, I don't know enough about the Iris built-in GPU to know if it's a lot faster than the old Intel 4000 or not.
    If you can't get a hands-on Premiere comparison, surely you could ask for a FCP X demo on both machines!
    Good luck with your choice,

  • Unstable WiFi connectivity in macbook pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

    Hi guys!
    My macbook pro is connected to the internet via WiFi router, and it very often it happens that my macbook loses connectivity with it. WiFi logo shows the same signal strength, but all browsers (Safari & Chrome) can't load webpages.
    This issue can be solved by turning WiFi on and off, but it happens again and again. It looks like connectivity loses when Macbook goes in sleep mode and get's back from it, but sometimes connectivity issues happen even without sleep mode switching.
    I found in the internet that this issue can be solved by turning off Bluetooth and tried, but it didn't help.
    I totally understand that from one point of view this issue is not a big deal, but we are speaking about Apple device, and before I thought that this brand is synonime for ultimate quality and reliability. So please help me with this issue and bring back my faith in Apple;)

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Wifi replacement for MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

    Over the last few months my wifi card has begun to get slower and slower and sometimes will not connect at all.  I spoke with an Apple tech, not at Apple and he said that Apple has had trouble with their Wifi cards on these MacBook's and it will likely need to be replaced. I am out of warranty and looked at the swap out video on iFixIt and it looks easy.
    What is not so easy is making sure to get the right replacement board.  Would like to use the later board to get a/c and Bluetooth 4.0.  Any ideas on part numbers and sources?  There are many parts on ebay and Amazon but it is hard to know which one is right.
    Thanks for any insight or help.  I understand others are in the same bind.
    Below is one I found but was not sure if it was right.

  • Less than 3 hours WiFi capacity on MacBook Pro Retina 2012 acceptable?

    Hi there,
    I have my Macbook with 15inch-Retina display since it came out (ordered it the day after it was released) and I am not really satisfied with my battery capacity. According to MagicanPaster (app for system monitoring) I have had 56 charge cycles and the health of the battery is displayed as 97-99% (fluctuating based on load). I am using Lion MacOSX which had those battery problems, but seemed to have them resolved or at least alleviated the problem since some patch a while ago and always keep it up to date as soon as patches are released over the app store. Currently the estimate for battery life is at 50% projecting 1 hour and 22 minutes and I have a CPU load of 12%, WiFi on, Display at 75% brightness, Surfing Safari (no Flashvideo).
    So, after all having used this thing for almost half a year I think of returning it to support service because having 3 hours of usual run-time on a battery is really not any different than what I remember from my previous Acer/Dell machines etc. I vaguely remember that back in the years people were proud to tell me that their Mac would last for almost a working day. So really is that all Apple is able to perform?
    I remember it was better when I got it, lasting around at least 5 hours until that Lion Update came. Anyone else having similar experience? What about the chances of getting this as manufacturing malfunction under the Apple Protection Plan?
    Best,
    Citizen

    I havent had this problem, but I dont have retina display on my 15 inch MBP. I bought mine right after Mountian Lion was released and didnt do the free upgrade for a while. After upgrading, I didnt see a difference, my mac still runs a "full work day". But i would assume your problem would be covered as "manufacturing malfunction" or something like that because it's not your fault.

    The erase only took about 10 seconds. Is that normal?
    Yes, as it can't be Secure Erased like hard drives can, thus the storage is simply given instructions that all files are now able to be overwritten which is extremely fast, even on hard drives.
    You can't secure erase solid state drives as that would wear them out prematurely, so what's on there can be recovered unless the entire drive is filled with new data. You can use Filevault, however it's basically worthless as the password has to be given for repair or easily changed.

  • Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?

    Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer.  All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive.  Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either.  There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
