HT5628 Can I use other drivers on Windows 8.1 for my MacBook Pro Retina?

I have done a bootcamp partition on my MBPr, and I got bluescreen sometimes. I had installed Nvidia Experience, to optimise the settings in some games, and that program has also updated my GeForce GPU Driver. Could bluescreen be caused by this driver?
Is generally safe upgrade drivers on Apple Computer with Windows?

we have 3 of the most recent rMBPs (2012, early 2013 and late 2013), all 3 use the latest nvidia drivers from their support site with no issue

How can I use my iMac6.1 as a display for my MacBook Pro

I have a relatively old iMac 6.1 that I would like to use as a diplay for my MacBook Pro: any idea of how I can do that and what connecting cables I would need?
Thanks.
Vittorio

Unless the MBP has Thunderbolt you can't use the iMac as an external monitor unless you get ScreenRecycler. If the MBP does have Thunderbolt you need a Thunderbolt cable. Because Thunderbolt is so new finding a cable could be quite a challenge, you may want to contact Lacie and see if they can sell you one other than that I have no idea where to find one now.

Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

Can I use a PowerPC iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro?

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I need an external monitor for it and have an old iMac laying around that I'm wondering if I could use. The iMac is the first gen white square all-in-one screen one. It's a G5, 20" 1.8 GHz from 2005. PowerPC.
Can I connect my MacBook Pro to it to use as a second monitor? Or even to mirror the display? If so, what kind of connector cables do I need to make this happen?

You need to use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network connection. All of these products require the capability to boot the iMac.

Can I use a led tv as a monitor for a macbook pro?

I mostly stream Netflix videos on my laptop and would like to watch them on a bigger screen without sacrificing the friendly interface of my MacBoob Pro. Is is possible to us a 30-40" LED tv as a monitor? Has anybody done this successfully? If so, are all LED tvs alike in this regard? I don't have a large budget and may even buy used. Any insights and advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Check out Apple TV. It is a wireles interface to your TV that comes with much more capbility than just attaching it as a monitor. It can be the best $99 investment you can make for entertainment on your TV. It supports Netflix directly so you do not need your Mac in the loop to watch such movies. It simply requires a standard HDMI cable, not supplied with the Apple TV unit. Through it, with Mavericks, you can use the TV as a standard OS X monitor or for entertainment. Also check out the Beemer software to stream videos to it from your Mac.

Can I hook use an older iMac as an display for my Macbook Pro?

Can I use an older iMac as an display for my Macbook Pro? The Macbook Pro has the Mini display port and the iMac has the older (larger) display port. I am trying to have a document open on the iMac while writing a paper on the Macbook Pro.
Thank you for your time.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can use the Mid 2011 iMac as a display for your 2011 MacBook Pro. Both have Thunderbolt, so you won't have any problem > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Buy a Thunderbolt cable and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac to enable Target Display

HT3986 I got a macbook pro Retina and I installed a windows 7. The problem is I can't find drivers for the Macbook pro retina hardware which work for windows 7

I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

How do I use my IMac as a second moniter for my Macbook Pro?

Okay, So I would like to use my IMac as a monitor for my mbp. The IMac is a 2010 model and the Macbook is 2012 (Not the retina).
I'm a music producer and I'm sick of having to switch devices so I just want to keep all my stuff on the macbook but the screens way too small.
What I want to do is use the mbp screen with the mixer section of logic as well as use the IMac as a second moniter with the arrange screen.
Is it possible to do this with an ethernet cable?
if so
How do I do it?
Oh and a question on the side, Is mavericks worth the download?
Thanks!!

You can use the iMac as an external display for your MacBook Pro, always that you have got a 27-inch iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You have to purchase a Mini DisplayPort cable (Ethernet won't work, as this is not designed as a video cable to connect Macs), and then, press Command and F2 keys on the iMac.
If you have got a 21'5-inch iMac, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler, which uses your network to use the iMac as an external screen

How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
     (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
     (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
     (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
     (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
     (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
     (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
     (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
     (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.
