I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display and it keeps flickering. Very annoying. Almost seems like something else is trying to open.

My macbook has suddenly started flickering. I hadn't updated any software. I did go and update to OS X but that didn't help. Is anyone else having the same problem?

I have to desagree its not normal !!! be advised

Open up activity monitor and under all process, see how much dock is using. highlight it and hit quit process.
since you're already at activity monitor, hit quit process on anything else using more than 10% of your CPU's resources.
see if your Retina runs cooler once you've done that.
good luck.

I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

MacBook Pro Retina Display and USB SuperDrive

Just wanted to let everyone know I had to update Mac OSX to be able to use the superdrive on the new macbook pro retina display. Before that it would show me what was on the disk but I couldn't access it. Even after I updated it I had to browse through finder to find the drive to be able to run what was on the disk, as it didn't pop up automatically. Just wanted to give people a heads up so if anyone else has this issue.

The superdrive not showing on the desktop may just be a setting in Finder. If it is listed in the Finder window then it is a setting in Finder to show, or not to show, DVD drives on the desktop.

Macbook Pro Retina Display and Flash Player major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
1. My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
2. It is no longer possible to click on anything in Flash Player Dialogs, such as:
* Flash Player Settings
* Webcam or microphone allow/deny dialog
* All other dialogs (peer-to-peer access, etc)
This issue makes it impossible to use video chat applications on Macbook Pro Retina's because users can't click allow/deny when requested for audio/video access.
I have submitted reports about this to Adobe BugBase here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224151
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224147
Please fix these issues.
Andrey

@nvhdab - If you haven't already, can you please add a bug on your issue over at bugbase.adobe.com If it's the same as 3224151 then it sounds like it's going to be fixed soon. I'm trying to find out exactly when, but it might be in the 11.7 release now (4/2/2013 - Flash Player 11.7.700.170 Beta)
@scottclayton - I'm going to ask the team to revisit the click issue. I don't have a retina display so I can't confirm the issue. Thank you though for putting up the workaround.

I have a macbook with retina display and when i use it, it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

When i use my macbook it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

If you're talking about the "new" MacBook with retina display, it's normal (Especially when you're playing games or watching a movie) and like Stark_Hu said, it will start displaying the temperature warnings, slow the processor, and try to regain normal temperatures. I actually had that happen to me while I was playing the Sims 4 while having 3 Pages documents and 5 or so Safari pages open.
Now if you're talking about the Retina MacBook Pro, I would clean out the fan ports and everything because that doesn't seem too normal!

Dead pixels on Macbook Pro Retina Display and keyboard scratches.

Since the purchase of my Macbook Pro with Retina Displey 15" early February 2013 it has gained 5 dead pixels on the screen. If I take it to the Apple Store are they going to tell me it's my own fault and not help?
I also found a scratch on the <H> key on the keyboard, which has removed a little bit of the black coating, allowing the backlight to shine through. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or if apple are able to help? I have already tried writing over it in black sharpie pen, but it doesn't help.

Apple has some system they go by to determine how many dead pixels are 'acceptable' on a display - it's not your fault.
You may be able to get a replacement key from -> https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/. Since Apple will probably say it was caused by user damage, you'll have to pony up the $5 for the key.

Both my MacBook Pro Retina Display and new iMac will only format an SD as FAT16 using Disk Utility. How do I format in FAT32

I have a new iMac and MacBook Pro with Retina Display running 10.8.2
When I use Disk Utility on a San Disk 2GB SD card I can only format as FAT16. How can I format the card as FAT32?

Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

Dropped MacBook Pro retina display and screen won't work

I accidental just dropped my MacBook Pro with retina display on its left side from about 2 feet. There doesn't appear to be any external damage except for the screen which is just white with some black on the left side. I can change the brightness and everything else appears to work. Any ideas on how to fix it or how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

Oh dear
Call your local Apple Store to get a quote for a repair.
And check your home insurance to see if it's covered (it might be if you have accidental damage cover and you dropped it at home).
If you're not ready or able to afford a repair or replacement, you might be able to keep using your MBP if you connect it to an external display.
I don't know how important portability is for you, but if you would normally only use your MBP in one or two specific places (eg home and work), you could set up one external display in each location.
Good luck!

Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os

After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
Thanks!

Hi again, Juan.
OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
See this taken from Finder Help....
Recover your entire system
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant.
Transfer your info from a computer or disk
If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML.

Macbook Pro Retina Display - Sound and video doesn't work at the same time.

I just bought a macbook pro retina display and tried to watch a movie by connecting my macbook pro via hdmi to my home theater receiver (Onkyo TX-SR309) and into my HDTV (Sony Bravia 42"). My problem is, i don't get sound from the speakers connected to the receiver.
When i disconnect the HDTV from the receiver (only the receiver is connected to the macbook pro), then sounds will comes out from the speaker.
Can somebody help me to fix this problem?

With the HDMI connected and the Onkyo powered on, open system preferences, go to the sound panel, and select the HDMI choice.

Macbook Pro Retina Display Disk is locked

Hi,
I have a macbook pro retina display with mountain lion 10.8.1.
Today I shutdown my machine and now when I try to turn it on it goes to a progress bar and spinning and it just turns off itself. I have tried recovery mode and it turns out the disk needs repair and after repair it says it can't be repaired and it should be reformat again. I've tried safe mode but it keeps doing the progress bar and spinning and it turns off again.
I don't know what happened to the machine it was on my desk all the time and it has flash storage so no failing in hard disk and bad sector.
What should I do? (I don't have a external hard drive with GUID to install ML on it and see if I can open my Macintosh HD. And I don't have a Time Machine backup).

Do you have any backups? If the answer is no, you've quite possibly lost all your data.
