I am planning to format my Retina MacBook Pro. However, I have a bootcamp partition. If I were to format my Mac, will the bootcamp drive be gone too?

It all depends on what you do.
If you reformat the partition containing OS X then nothing will happen to the BootCamp partition.
If the other hand you reformat the whole disk then it will be gone.
Why do you think you need to reformat the drive?

I have a single Pixel that is broke on my 2 month old retina macbook pro. I have Apple care. What will Happen if I bring it to an apple store.

I have a single Pixel that is broke on my 2 month old retina macbook pro. I have Apple care. What will Happen if I bring it to an apple store.

You can try to see if they will replace it, however there is some sort of acceptable amount of stuck pixels and they won't replace so I hear.
But that was a long time ago and things change.

I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro

I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?

Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days. You can do some of this with Home Sharing. You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
You do not want to use a new AppleID. Change the AppleID on the new phone to the old ID. Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again."

HT2434 does anybody know what happens if I dont update the firmware of my macbook pro (does not have a guid partition scheme))

Apple will hire a high school girls clique to follow you around, make fun of you & post disparaging comments on Facebook .

Do new Retina Macbook Pro's still have ghosting issues.

If I buy a 13.3 inch Macbook Pro Retina today will it have a ghosting issue, or has it been resolved?

These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post "technical" questions and offer answers to each other voluntarily. No one here works for Apple nor does Apple get involved in responding.
The only way we would know if Apple has "fixes" is if they have publicly announced it on their website and Knowledge Base articles.

How do I restore my MacBook Pro running Lion to factory settings? I don't want to keep anything on the hard drive.

I am running Lion and know how to get to my Mac OS X Utilities but I cannot figure out how to do a full factory setting restart like I have done the past with the OS disks. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Use disk utility to format your hard drive then reinstall Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion) on to the hard drive.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

Bought iWork 09 physical disks; installed on MacBook Pro; App Store recognizes it. Any way to download it to another Mac using the Mac App Store?

Hi. I bough iWork 09 and installed it on my MacBook Pro. When I launch the Mac App Store, it recognizes that Pages, Keynote and Numbers are all installed. Unfortunately, I've now lost the discs and I now want to install it on my Mac Pro. Is there any way to do this through the Mac App Store?
Thanks..

No, only the version bought through the MAS is avaiable from the MAS for download to other Macs.

On my itunes account, on macbook pro, my films have disappeared. When I go into itunes store and click on the film, it tells me I have already downloaded it. How do I retrieve the movies back

Any ideas how I retrieve my movies on itunes as it says I have already purchased them?

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

Can anyone tell me if they know where I can find a hard case for the new Retina Macbook Pro?

New retina macbook pro 13" slow animations

I am experiencing slow animations on my new retina macbook pro 13" (I have the middle 2,4 Ghz base model). This happens throughout the whole system, especially noticeable is the animation on the login screen and the laggyness when scrolling list views from inside your dock (for example scrolling your downloads or documents in "list view" mode inside the dock). But it also happens when scrolling in finder or with some window animations.
The solution that solves this problem is plugging in my external monitor which doesn't have retina resolution. Now everything is really smooth again like it should be.
I also checked a friends macbook pro (he's having exactly the same but with the more powerfull i7 processor) and it turned out he is not having those issues.
What I tried so far is resetting the NVRAM and a full new installation but neither did solve anything. I am not using any third party software which could cause this, it's also happening on a bare minimum system.

I have met the same problem too!
Mine is also the new macbook pro Haswell.
I have been using my macbook for 2 days.
And I have encountered sudden freeze for 4 times!
The keyboard and the trackpad are unresponsive.
But actually the system is working and the apps are working.
And the power button can actually work.
So every time I met this problem,I long press the power button and make it restart.
And then everything is okay.
Somtimes ,if you wait for 10~15 min, the keyboard and the trackpad will start working again.
When the second time I met this problem, I decided to go to the apple store for help.
But after several mins, it works again.
It is very annoying that the system suddenly freeze when you are busy working on the documents.
And it causes damage that you force to shut down the macbook.
I think it is a software problem?
Hope Apple can release some updates to solve this problem soon!

Looking for a Hard Case/Shell for my new Retina MacBook Pro 15"?

I am looking to buy a shell/case for my rMBP (October 2013) it hasn't arrived yet, but obviously I want it to be protected asap.
I don't know what the model number is, but it is the lower spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro that I have purchased. How can I make sure that a case I buy will fit?
Will any 15" rMBP case fit, or has the size changed for this upgrade?
I am looking for either a black/clear, shell/case that will attach to the back of the lid to protect it. I am looking on eBay at the moment, as I have a voucher to spend on there anyway. Can someone recommend a shop/seller or a particular product?
I am in the UK, so I would obviously prefer to buy from a local seller.
Thanks!

I purchased the Hardshell Case for 13-inch MacBook. It offers a durable hardcase construction that securely covers your notebook. It provides a frosted hardshell exterior, soft-touch coating, raised rubber feet, thermal vents, and trouble-free access to all features.
Features
Excellent notebook protection
Exterior rubberized soft-touch coating
Precise cut-outs for access to magnetic power cable, headphone and microphone input jacks, CD-ROM drive, battery level check button, and all side ports
Vents and rubber feet elevate notebook from surface, allowing notebook's internal fans to circulate air more freely
Simple to use and easy to clean
I really love it. My friend has dropped their macbook (the case was on) on the concrete and nothing happened to the computer.
Hope this helps you.

Cannot get Firefox 16 min-resolution dppx media query to work on retina MacBook Pro

I'm trying to use the new min-resolution dppx media query support in Firefox 16 to work with my retina MacBook Pro, however when targetting the dppx with min-resolution it's not being supported by the browser. Is this actually correctly supported by Firefox now, or is it still outstanding?
Test case is here - I've set it to 1dppx, so as far as I understand the text should be red on any screen (not just a retina one): http://mjw.in/firefox/test1.html

I don't think that 2dppx works in Firefox 16 because a search on MXR with mozilla-release doesn't give any results (1dppx may work).
*http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/search?string=2dppx
The current Nightly build may work in case you want to test this.

Missing retina display option on retina macbook pro

Hi, I am trying to change the display preferences on my late 2013 13" retina macbook pro, however there seems to be no "Retina (Best)" option any more.
Can anyone please let me know what setting to use to make sure I am on the retina setting and getting the most from my display?

Choose "Default for display."
