MacBook Pro Retina does not have an IR Receiver port.

Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

If all else fails, try this. i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

What's the price for a MacBook Pro Retina Display Top Case with battery in the US?

I'd like to know what´s the price for a MacBook Pro Retina Display Top Case with battery in the US.

Here you go.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and has a brightness flicker every few seconds since june 2013 upgrade of airport utility.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

I've got a dead pixel (white) in the middle of my Macbook-pro retina display.

I've got a dead pixel (white) in the middle of my Macbook-pro retina display, what to do?
Just bought it a a month ago, and it's really anoying me!

Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.

HT202124 Is plug in a USB wireless receiver (Logitech Unifying Receiver) prevents Macbook Pro Retina going to standby mode?

As the title implies, is this prevent Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) from going to standby mode? It's not convenience to unplug the wireless receiver every time I don't use the notebook though.

That kind of panic can be caused by an adapter for an external display that isn't connected to anything. See this thread.
There are also reports that the panic may be triggered by waking an external display from sleep. To test that theory, open the Energy Saver preference pane and click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Move the Display sleep slider all the way to the Never position on the right. See whether there's any change.

Should I get the imac 2012 or MacBook Pro retina

I can't choose between the imac 2012 or the MacBook Pro retina display. i have an iPad to take with me on the go. I am a photographer. I do lots of photo editing. I'm also a student. If you could help what would be great. What do you have? What would you get? What's best for editing photos? Remember I have an iPad, so I'm really looking for the best computer. Thanks

One plus for the MBP is that it's portable, whereas the iMac is not. And if you need more screen space when working at home, you can always keep an external monitor in your studio.
Plus for the iMac is the 'built-in' larger screen, but there is no portability.
If you want a portable machine, get a MBP - you can't do the photo editing on the iPad that you would want while you can on the MBP.
If portability is not an issue, get the iMac.
Back in the G4 days, I had both a G4 tower and a PowerBook G4. Used the first at my desk and the latter around town and around the house. Now I have only a MBP and it's tethered to my desk 90% of the time since I bought an Apple Thunderbolt Display. But I like being able to take it out for a spin that 10% of the time when I'm away from my desk.
Portability and screen size would be the deciding factors for me. A 15" MBP almost demands a larger external monitor to use for photography, etc., while the unportable iMac has the larger screen already.
So decide if you need/want portability first and foremost and then make your decision.

How do I erase the free space on macbook pro retina?

I went to erase the free space on my MacBook Pro Retina in the Disk Utility but it says not available for this type of drive. Is there a way I can get around this?

You can't use Disk Utility to securely erase a Solid State Disk drive, because of the fact that SSD's have limited write capability, unlike hard drives, thus have to protect the sectors from as little writes as possible.
In fact TRIM (wear leveling) is enabled to write new data to the least used sectors on a SSD each time.
The NSA guidelines for secure data destruction on SSD's is to grind them into a fine powder.
If you don't require this level of data destruction, you can do this trick below, but not often or you'll premaurely wear out your SSD.
Finder > Duplicate a small file repeatly in a folder until slightly more than 50% of the remaining free space on the SSD is used up, (use Activity Monitor) then delete this folder.
Then duplicate a different small file repeatly in another folder in the same manner.
What this will do is, because of the small file, OS X will fill the smallest unused spots on the SSD, the duplicates will fill the remaining free space half way, then the second folder will (because of TRIM) fill the other remaining 50% of the free space.
You can't fill your boot drive or the machine can refuse to function or boot, but because of the wear leveling this should overwrite all your available free space on the SSD once.
If you have a laptop and TimeMachine, there is a hidden database on the boot drive which will store a copy of the deleted data.
Then there is "versions" and it's possible a copy of the deleted data is stored in that cache file still on the SSD.
I can advise how to delete the TimeMachine backup file on the boot drive, but not the "versions" database or what it contains.
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
If your really paranoid it's likely best to reformat the entire MacintoshHD partition from recovery and then with a new user, then do the Finder > Duplicate procedure to overwrite the deleted data off the SSD, this way the "versions" and TimeMachine databases are also overwritten.
Nothing is safe anymore.

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!

The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop.

Cracked the Apple Logo on the back of my Macbook Pro Retina

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina for use at university. Whilst in a lecture, the person sat in front of me managed to elbow the top lid trying to remove their coat. Its caused quite an ugly crack in the lit logo and I have taken it to my local Authorised Service Provider who have told me, due to the lit logo being attached to the retina display itself, the repair would most likely cost upwards of £600.
I was hoping someone on here would be able to perhaps offer some alternatives to paying 2/3 of the price of the computer itself...
P.S. I bought an AppleCare plan under the false pretence that it 'covers everything' (quote from the salesman who sold me the machine, I assumed at the time that everything included damages and theft). I now know that this isn't the case and don't fancy putting my word against that of the salesman's. Plus I guess its my fault for assuming.
Thanks for help in advance, apologies for long post.

Hey B-bram,
For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

Should I get a fully upgraded MacBook air or should I compromise the thinness for a MacBook pro retina

Hi I need to get a Mac for high school should I get a MacBook air with i7 and 8gb of ram or should I get a MacBook pro retina
I make music surf the web and check emails and play games on my Mac should I compromise the portability of the air for the power of the pro
Please please please help

My suggestion - go with the maxed out Air.
Right now, there are so many issues with the Retina. Nothing against the Retina since I ordered one.
In any event, you can go with the Retina if you wish and if you're not happy with it, you can return it within the 14 days return/exchange policy and then go with the Macbook Air if you wish to do so.
Whatever you decide to purchase in the end, I'm sure you'll be quite happy with it.
Good luck.

How can increase the memory of my macbook pro retina??

I have a macbook pro with retina display. It has 121 flash memory and i want to have more, is this possible??
(sorry if the question is to stupid, but i dont understand to much about computers and memory)
Thanks

Actually, the storage (SSD, like a hard drive) is replaceable, though doing so voids your warranty. Check here, but make sure you find the exact model Mac you have.

Where are recorded the data from the app "the stickies" on a macbook pro retina?

Hi !
I lost all my stickies. I don't know why but one day they dissapeared. Where are they located on the mac? So maybe I can recover them with time machine.

I know the location of the information, but I'm not sure yet how to get to it from Time Machine. But here is the path anyhow. I'll let you know if I find anything else.
~/Library/StickiesDatabase
to get there open Finder.
Click the Go menu in the top menu bar.
Hold the Option key on the keyboard, and Library will appear in the menu. Click on it.
Near the bottom you'll see the StickiesDatabase, it is one of the only files there that is not a folder.

The fan on my macbook pro retina display starts as soon as I start watching a video

My laptop is not even two months old but the fan won't stop going on full speed as soon as I watch a video/Netflix.

The fan ramps up because the usage is causing more heat that needs to be dissipated. If you are concerned, take it in for checking.
