HT5219 How would I connect dual monitors and also a firewire cable? Macbook Pro (Retina)

Currently I am using two thunderbolt to DVI connectors for the dual monitors, but I am left without any firewire cable connection for my audio interface. THe only adaptor I found was another thunderbolt to firewire, but since I already used these two ports, I am left with no options. I haven't been able to find any usb to firewire cable connections.
Are there any other adapators/ports I can use that I am not aware of?

Something like this at US$300:

Yes.
You can have one HDMI (or DVI monitor via HDMI to DVI adopter) on the HDMI port
Another monitor via one Thunderbolt port and suitable adopter if not a displayport/mini displayport monitor
And use the other Thunderbolt port for Ethernet via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adopter.

If you can connect your recorder to the audio input port of your MBP, enter 'digitize tape mac' in the Google entry field and you will generate a plethora sites that will explain the details.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

What is the proper resolution to use with bootcamp and Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro Retina?

Hi All,
Let me start by saying I have read numerous articles and blog posts about choosing the correct resolution to use when running Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro Retina (15"). I have not found the "silver bullet" (correct resolution). My eyes are sensitive to displays that are running in non-native resolutions (scaling).
When running the display in native resolution (2880x1800) everything looks great, except that icons and text are way too small to read. I have played with the zoom settings (150%, etc.).
When using any scaled resolutions, the display doesn't look as crisp and I get eye fatigue. I have also tried Windows 8, with the same results (no surprise).
I would love to use this Macbook to run Windows 7 because the hardware is great, but it looks like I may have to switch back to Dell/Lenovo/HP.
Is there a proper or "best practice" resolution to run at in this scenario? I want to give it one last try before putting the laptop away...
Thanks for any help!
Andrew

While I've never seen retina display, if you have not tried Hi-Contrast in Windows, you might find settings with it that are comforatable.
This is set with desktop rightclick->Personalize. You can vary desktop icon size in the View option above Personalize.
You can change most of what you see in Windows foreground/background colours & text with high contrast settings.
Also, text size in Windows browsers is variable with the Control an + and - key combo.
If the display you use is small maybe an external 24" or 27" monitor, if possible, would alleviate problem.
The attached pics are expadable by double click.

How can I check the temperature of the CPU in the MacBook Pro retina

I want to check the temperature of the CPU in my MacBook Pro retina, but I can't find an application to do this. Is it even possible to do this?

I would find Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor more trustworty, as he has just updated the code and explicitly states compatibility with all 2012 models: http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
I have just downloaded the "Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor"/
You are correct, it does give a more accurate reading.
MSTM = 54 C
iStat Pro = 70 C

Have Installed Arch Linux and Xmonad on 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina

I just recieved the latest stunning MacBook Pro Retina 15" (ME665) released in Feb 2013, couldn't wait to install the Arch Linux 2013.02.01 on it, dual boot with Mac OSX.
I'm impressed by the performance of this device after working with the combo of Arch Linux and Xmonad for several days, everything works out of the box, including touchpad, audio, video, wireless network, bluetooth, etc. Even the apperance of most apps are compatible with the high resolution of Retina display.
Another important thing is the battery life, 5 hours! Program and compile, listen music, download AOSP through Wi-Fi, watch YouTube videos with Flash hardware accelaration on.
For the installtion details, see my long blog post at http://vec.io/posts/use-arch-linux-and- … na-display

Can you tell me what your /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness and max_brightness values are? This has not worked out of the box for me.

Can someone suggest an affordable external hard drive for use with FCPX and video editing on my Macbook Pro Retina

I have a Macbook Pro Retina from 2012 and I only got the 250GB hard drive. I'm getting ready to purchase a Panosonic HC-X920 to use with Final Cut Pro X already installed on my laptop. Since I know the file sizes are going to be so big, can anyone suggest an affordable external drive fast enough to keep up with editing the video? I'm not a pro and use it for family and personal projects.
I prefer some thunderbolt options since I haven't had a chance to use the inputs since I got my macbook pro. I just don't know what is necessarily too little or too big and too cheap and too expensive for my needs. Thank you.

OWC is a Mac specialist and a very trustworthy vendor. I have dealt with them and their technical stall on many occasions. Hence you may look at what they offer and be assured that they will stand behind what they sell:

I suspect that for your needs, a 1 TB drive is going to be the minimum.

What kind of monitor should I get for my Macbook Pro Retina?

I bought a Macbook Pro Retina to replace my old 2007 Macbook. When I hook my Retina up to my Acer 1080p LED Monitor, it does not display in full quality. I assume this is due to the size of the graphics card inside the laptop. My old macbook displayed a perfect picture on this same monitor.
I want to buy a new monitor that can display my Retina in full quality, but I don't want to break the bank to get a Thunderbolt Display. Any suggestions on a monitor I can get?

Try adjusting manually the resolution on the external monitor. You may have to degrade slightly the resolution on the built in monitor when you do this. I have been told that the Mac automatically tries to optimize the picture quality on the retina display at the expense of the resolution on the external monitor. You may have to "redistribute" manually the available resolution to favor more the external display.

Eizo monitor and Video Mirror Function with Macbook Pro

I have just purchased an eizo monitor and it won't let me open the 'colouredge program that comes with it until I disable video mirror function How do i do that on a Macbook pro?

For example:
According to this: http://www.cable-modem.net/broadbandarticles/comcastspeed.html T1 service providers offer 1.544 Mbps download and upload speeds and Comcast has long offered high-speed broadband connections with 6 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds; but with the advent of DOCSIS 3.0 technology, Comcast cable modems can now access the Internet at wideband speeds as high as 50 Mbps at affordable prices.
You can see, download speed is not a big advantage of a T1 line.

How do i connect apple cinema display a1082 to my new macbook pro

I have a macbook pro intel core duo2 and i'm trying to connect my apple cinema display a1092 to my computer, there is an adapter available, but it does not seem to address the fireware cable coming out of my cinema display

the apple display that i see online has a mag safe, usb and mini display port...connect all three to your laptop so you can charge your laptop as you use the display as well as use the USB ports on the back of the monitor.. i didnt see anything about firewire...

HT2477 how can I connect a Garmin GPS etrex vista hcx to macbook pro with retina.

I would like to know if is it possible to connect my GPS Garmin etrex vista hcx to my macbook pro with retina.
Thanks.

I believe that Garmin GPSr model uses a USB connection, so if you load the Garmin drivers, and possibly the [free] Garmin Base Camp utility, you should be able to connect your GPSr to your macbook Pro and transfer information. I don't recall positively, but I think that your GPSr should appear as a USB drive automatically once you connect it, but it might require you to load the Garmin Communicator software.

I just received a Macbook Pro. My music is on my iPad and I would like to move it and the playlists to the Macbook Pro.

How can I move my iTunes library, all songs and playlists, from my iPad to my new Macbook Pro?

You might want to try this solution, though it is not a free solution and performance can lag depending on your network and connection:
There is an app called Air Display. It allows your macbook laptop (or iPad) to connect to your iMac for use of the display. The Air Display software can be used via a wireless connection, but this setup is slower than the option of connecting both computers via ethernet wired connection for better performance. I believe there are other apps that may do the same thing.
Things to watch out for:
Make sure you read the reviews and contact the developer with any questions to avoid confusion.
Make sure the app allows the laptop screen to be viewed on the iMac. Ask the developer or google for an answer.
Disclosure: I do not work for the company or benefit in any financial way from this suggestion. I have never used the app, but from what I have read on the web, via ethernet, performance is acceptable...within limitations.
Good luck.
