I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display yesterday and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

here it is :   http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro-13-inch-late-2012-quick_start.pd f
Apples dont come with say, a big manual like old things used to.  Basically its a just a quick reference guide, everything on specifics is online
Heres a great book everyone raves about, as far as the OSX and being familiar with it> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1449330274/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=AT VPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0J2E0HXQBHJK423PADBV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=13 89517282&pf_rd_i=507846

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features
    Also, this is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum

  • Are there any apple stickers for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy them

    Are there any apple stickers e.g the bart simpson on the computer eating the apple for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy one

    I'm not sure where on the internet or which store you mean -- but if you mean an Apple advertisement on the internet and an Apple Store, note that there was an ad for MacBooks that showed them with a variety of stickers but Apple does't sell the stickers and not all of the ones shown in the ad were commercially available.

  • I had brought the Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display in nov. 2013 in USA. I lost my luggage in the flight transit at Paris CDG. Now I can't install windows 8.1 which I brought from same store frys at LA, USA. Pl. help. Thanks gyanesh

    Dear friends
    I had brought this Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display and windows 8.1 and then I left to India my home place for vacation now my problem is during flight transit at Paris CDG. For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
    Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
    Thanks in advance.  Sb sob sob
    Pl. help. Thanks

    Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
    Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
    You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds.

  • Will i be able to run windows 7 on mac book pro 15inch with retina display?

    In addition to installing Windows in Boot Camp so that it will run instead of Mac OS X, you can also install Windows as a Virtual Machine so that Windows and the Mac OS can run at the same time. To use a Virtual Machine, you'd need software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box.
    Note, however, that you may have some difficulty finding Windows 7 for sale. You may be stuck with Windows 8.1.

  • MAC BOOK PRO MID 2012 RETINA DISPLAY WONT BOOT

    My mac book pro wont  boot.  It shows the apple logo then it turns itself off.
    Please help

    If you call AppleCare, they will probably lead you through an SMC reset, so do that first. If it does not help then call them; it's under warranty.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • How do you erase and reinstall a hard drive without a disc? I bought this mac book pro under a year ago and am pretty sure i downloaded mountain lion from the app store. Basically Im having startup issues and this is the final step Ive reached

    when I start my laptop it loads a third of the way and shuts down automaticallyI've tried to safe boot, repairing discs and clearing RAM but nothing has worked. basically I've come to the final step of having to a erase my hard drive and reinstall mountain lion however Apple support suggest that I install from a disc however I installed mountain lion from the App Store. can anyone help me go about this?

    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: 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.

  • Mac Book Pro 2013 Non Retina

    I was looking at the Apple Stores newest Mac Book Pros (later 2013) and I noticed that all the newest Mac Book Pros have Retina. Is there an option to not get Retina with these newer ones? I want to save money on that and also I would liek to get less RAM and then upgraded it later, and from my understanding you cannot upgrade the RAM in a Retina Mac Book Pro. I was specifically looking at a 15" Mac Book Pro with the nVidia Card.

    Hi macjsus,
    Unfortunately the newest Mac Book Pros are only retina display and the Apple trend is in that way. I bought my Mac Book Pro a few days ago and I upgraded it improving the RAM up to 16gb for US $250 approximately . If I had bought  a Mac Book Pro Retina Display I would need a lot of money for this improvement.
    Have a nice day!

  • I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

    Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
    If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

  • I just bought a mac book pro and airport time capsule. Which one should I turn on first to get it going. We do have an existing router and old PC in the house.

    Hi
    I just brought home a mac book pro 13" with retina and the airport time capsule . What one should I turn on/ hook up first? We have an existing router in the home and an old PC.
    Suggestions?

    Turn off you cable/DSL modem, your computer, and the old router. Disconnect the computer's Ethernet cable from the old router. Replace the old router with the Time Capsule. Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Connect the computer's Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable.
    Turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate connection with the ISP. Turn on the Time Capsule and wait for the amber light to begin flashing. Open Airport Utility in your Utilities folder to configure the Time Capsule.
    If a user guide came with the Time Capsule I suggest you follow it's instructions.
