HT5628 Somebody help me please! (macbook pro retina 13")
can i bootcamp my macbook pro retina 13" to have windows 8? If i can, how can i do so? is it free?
Boot Camp is free from Apple. Windows 8 is not free, and you buy that from Microsoft. You should be able to install Windows 8 on your MacBook Pro using Boot Camp if you purchase a copy of Windows 8.

Please, help!
After upgrading to Yosemite, my dock has disappeared, along with the dashboard and the wallpaper! Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro, retina, bought it last year.
ThanksHave you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

after updating my Macbook Pro retina display to os x yosemite 10.10.2, the mause and track pad locks, and do not respond especially when using the Mac for a long period, please help, how can I solve this, I do not like feel like in windows, so I paid good money for this mack, I feel calm
Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

Hello, I have a MacBook pro retina 13" early 2013, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024MB,
and i am not sure if I can use a 4k2k display Monitor with my Macbook, please help!Hello, Righten.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you want to know if your MacBook Pro will support a 4k display. Here is an article that will answer your question.

My MacBook pro retina display 15 inch (2013) doesn't start. After I press the start button there is only a beep sound at regular interval. The screen remains blank and the keys don,t light up. Can anyone help please?
If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it. If not, try the steps in this support article:

Why i can't download iWork in my macbook pro retina? Apple said that is free and i can't download it. help please!
Is your Mac new?
http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store). -
I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help
hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

My microsoft office 2011 for mac has stopped working on my macbook pro retina please help!!!
I have 10.8.2 running on my macbook pro retina 15' and suddenly microsoft office wont work on it and i have no clue as to what it is. can someone pleaseshed some light onto what the issue could be?
I have the exact same problem. I started having the problem with MS Office 2008 after I installed a new harddrive in my imac (24-inch, Early 2009), OS X 10.8.4. Everything was working fine and then when I try to open any Office app, the icon bounces in the dock, and nothing happens.
I as searched for solutions, the obvious fix was to uninstall office (even all of the excess system files it leaves even after an uninstall). When I a re-install Office 2008, it works for about 1 week and then it stops working again.
Next I thought to try the new version of Office (Office 2011), so I did the trial download, and sure enough got the same problem. After about 2 weeks, it stopped responding. I have talked to MS support about this problem, and their suggestion was to uninstall and then reinstall, which I am becoming an expert at.
I am also having an issue with Apple Mail and contacts becoming disconnected. When created a new mail, typing in the receiptant does not pull up their email address even though it is in my address book. The fix for this, which I do even other day is to delete a system folder in Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. I do that, and it works for a few days.
Any suggestions would be great. -
For Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users Please Help
Hi
i Want Ask Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users how use this macs both ( Only how use both )
we sit many hours on laptop that will hurt our eyes
what the macbook less strain on eyes
what the best macbook screen not hurt our eyes
sorry my english is not good but i hope you understand me
i want only users how use the both of this macs
thank youPeople are different. Not everyone experiences eye strain with an LED/LCD screen, or with a retina screen or any other kind of screen. Some people do.
So no one here can possibly say how you will feel using either one - everyone is different.
You need to find some display models or something and try them yourself and see what you like and how you feel using them. Anything anyone here has experienced is immaterial - all that matters is what you expereince and we cannot predict that for you.
I stare at computer screens all day long, and have done so for many, many years now. I've never had a problem with matte LCD, glossy LCD (like my MBP), CRT, plasma or page white. About the only problem I've ever had is occasionally dry eye, since everyone tends to blink less when concentrating on anything backlit for long periods of time. Simple artificial tears deals with that, and just learning to stagger regular breaks. -

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
