I have a Retina Macbook Pro 13 and i have noticed it some slow
When I want to turn it off after working on Word or Xcode take a little bit longer to turn off even it puts the loading circle, I usually dont use it for to long. Is this a normal behavior?
I had a White Macbook 2008 and it never done than kind of thing unless I installed some heavy software like Photoshop or Office.
Apple says that Unibody Macs batteries are designed to have 80% of their capacity after 1000 charges. Your battery has got 84.5% of its capacity after 96 charges, so it's clearly damaged, although OS X says that it's normal.
Personally, I would take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller again now to get your battery replaced again for free. That's because OS X may say that your battery is failing when the warranty has expired, and in this case, you will have to pay for this battery

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13inch and the download speed is super slow! Why??
I bought a Macbook Pro 13inch 750gb laptop and i'm trying to download the updates it say's I need and it is taking way longer than I've ever had a computer download, why is it so slow? Is something wrong with my new laptop? My frist Macbook Pro from 2007 is faster than this crap! What's up with that?
I even have it connected through ethernet to the internet and it say's download time: 7 to 8 hours and never gets anywhere, i've been trying all dayWe recently changed our internet because it was previously too slow but this one seems even worse. It's progressively slowing down more and more.
Example: When watching Netflix on my Wii and surfing the web via Computer the Nexflix will go down or have to reload. I'm going to have to call Centurylink because this is rediculous. Maybe it's the area our house is located? Or I hope nobody has cracked my internet and is using it without permission...
I'm glad to know it's not my new Mac. (Because i'd have a hissy fit if it was.)
But I still feel like my previous Macbook Pro was a tad faster, which doesn't make sense, right...? -

Intel (64 bit)There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?
So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tintActually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them. -
Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 15" uneven illumination alongside top edge
I have just bought the new retina MacBook Pro 15" and have experienced some uneven illumination alongside top edge of the screen. I took it to the Apple store and they offered me a replacement. I thought, sweet! However, the new machine seems to be exactly the same. Now this is not noticable when the screen doesnt move, but it becomes a little bit irritating and visible when ones moves from desktop to desktop or among fullscreen apps. You can see the illumination is not the same and as a result, two darker spots appear. Can anybody else confirm this is on other machines as well? I don't mean to be overly picky, but I think it's a bit unfortunate on a computer with this price tag. Thanks!

I can't migrate to my retina macbook pro because my backup disk user has file vault encryption
I did everything I was supposed to. Backed up my macbook pro to a bootable hard drive using Super Duper. I just got my new Retina MacBook Pro today and tried to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my data over and it says I can't transfer any data because I was using File Vault on my old machine. Now What???
File Vault has caused me nothing but problems since day one. I wish I never would have turned it on to begin with. It's like Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.....ugh.I was on the phone with apple support and figured out part of the problem. Super Duper created a disc image on my external HD that I needed to double click on AFTER booting up the MBP from the internal HD. This mounts the disc image, allowing me to access the data on the drive. I'm currently manually copying/pasting all my data from the File Vaulted partition to a second partition (that's not file vault protected). From there, I will try to use migration assistant to see if that does the trick...

I am interested in purchasing a used (probably refurbished) Retina MacBook Pro. Probably from the Apple Online Refurbished store.
Can anyone tell me what generation of Retina MacBooks were the last that had upgradeable parts such as hard drives, memory, etc.? Preferable in the terms of month/year like Apple states in their refurb section. I am aware that the remaining non-Retina MacBook is upgradeable.
As an example, here is a link to some I am considering:

http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0QC1LL/A/refurbished-133-inch-macbook-pro-28g hz-dual-core-intel-i7-with-retina-displa…You can find that information from Mactracker's database or from www.everymac.com.

Mini display port to HDMI make my retina MacBook Pro have strong static
Hi god, every time I use my new Retina MacBook Pro only one weeks old using internal battery connect mini display port to HDMI to my Sony LED TV my MacBook Pro will have will strong static all around the body! If I plug in the Mac adapter the static will be gone! It never happen to my old MacBook Pro 2011 early! Pls help...
If it is the same adapter, then I would bring the MBP and the adapter to an Apple store for evaluation. If not, the adapter may be the problem.

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014
I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt. -
Heat and Fan on Retina MacBook Pro
Hi Guys,
This is my first post in the forums and I just wanted some advice on an issue. I know there are existing discussions - but I've read conflicting answers in each. I'd like to know if the fan and heat I'm experience on my brand new 15 inch mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro is normal.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro CC to edit 1080p video for a YouTube channel. I've noticed that after I begin exporting the fans kick in within seconds and the heat jumps up substantially. Idle, the temperature I've measured with SMC fan control is roughly 35-40 degrees, but within a minute of exporting - this jumps up to around 98/99 degrees. I understand that the fans would start after a certain amount of time and that the temperature would rise. But is it normal to rise to 99 degrees????
I've not noticed this with games, but just when exporting.
Thanks for any help.That screen shot is very helpful. You have a four core CPU and each core can handle two threads so the %CPU can be over 100%. In your case, it's over 700% total usage with 800% being all there is available, so your rMBP is working very hard indeed. While I start cranking up the fan speed using smcFanControl just as you are, there's just so much the fans can do given that load. And we don't know how hard the graphics coprocessor is working, and that just adds more heat. I suspect the lower temperature may be because the intake ports may have been partially blocked on your lap; it really doesn't take much given their location. It looks like your laptop is doing the best it can.
There's a reason why five large fans were used in the Mac Pro towers (not counting the graphics card fan). -
I have a Retina Macbook Pro, but iTunes is asking me to insert a disc. Well, I can't. Why has Apple not fixed this. I want to enter my code and get my movie.
I know that this isn't a real solution for your computer, but the digital copy is tied to your Apple ID. So if you have another Mac, you can redeem it on that Mac, then download the movie to your Retina MBP (Movies in the Cloud FTW).
If you don't own another Mac yourself, find a friend's computer, log out of his iTunes (or make a new user account), log into your Apple ID within iTunes, Authorize iTunes, then insert the DVD and redeem it. I redeemed Skyfall & Frankenweenie from an iMac at work just to see if it works, which it does. Heck, I don't think they even need a Mac, a PC running iTunes should work! -
Retina MacBook Pro fan very loud and usb mouse disconnecting when restarting the computer
2 days ago, I got a brand new retina MacBook Pro 13 inch with the specs 2.8 GhZ i7, 8 gigs of ram and 512gb ssd. It should definitely be functioning properly since it's a really expensive computer, but I already noticed a few problems that I hope you can help me with.
So first of all, when I play World of Warcraft, the fan seems to go up to 6000rpm and is very loud. I checked the activity monitor and it says WoW is using about 60% CPU, so it shouldn't have to be that loud. I also installed smcfancontrol, but it doesn't seem to lower the speed of the fan.
I ran an apple diagnostics test and it couldn't find any problems, and I also tried resetting my smc, but the fan is still going very loud.
And the second problem I have is, that when I have my mouse usb connected to my Mac, and I restart it, it can't detect the mouse anymore. So I'd have to pull out the usb plug and put it back in everytime I turn on my computer. isn't it supposed to automatically connect to my mouse when it's already plugged in?Matt,
Try reading this, then go to the section on Resetting the SMC for a Macbook Pro with a battery you should not remove.

I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running mountain Lion 10.8.2
Because line-in has been removed.
It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives).
