To save space on the computer, Apple has decided to solder the memory onto the logic board on the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and that's why you can't add more memory after buying the Mac. This only applies to these computers, not for the other ones

  • I have a macbook pro 15" Retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram yet when i try to download a HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD?

    i have a macbook pro 15" retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram when i try to download an HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD? i went to the support on the apple website and looked at the specs that a computer has to meet in order to play HD movies and mine is well above them. Why can't i play the movies?

    That would at least partially explain it.
    These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
    Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
    "If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

  • How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hello there,
    I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
    Thanks!

    One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

  • Can "Sims 3" and its' expansions pack be played on the Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

    I am thinking about purcashing the new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I would like to know if  "Sims 3" and its' expansions packs are playable on this mac with the assistance of an Apple USB Superdrive.

    Yes, The Sims 3 and all its expansions are perfectly playable on the MacBook Pro with Retina display (though I don't recommend installing it using Remote Disc as it will take a couple of hours at best to completely install everything).
    Playing it at 2880 x 1800 makes everything look great... except for the incredibly small UI elements. The game looks slightly fuzzy at 1440 x 900, which is to be expected given how Apple handles scaling with the Retina display. If you can't live with the fuzziness, you'll have to find a happy medium between 1440 x 900 and 2880 x 1800. And hey, if you decide you can play it at 2880 x 1800, more power to you!

  • HT4110 What is the best battery setting for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display?

    I want to know the best setting for the battery for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display.

    To add just a little
    Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
    And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    "Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
    General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
    Never drain them LOW  & dont always/often store them HIGH
    While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
    *A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge. 
    DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count.  *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
                              (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
    *Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
    *However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
    Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
                        This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
    LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
    A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
    Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
    The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
    Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
    Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
    From Apple on batteries:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    Storing your MacBook
    If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
    Considerations:
    Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
    In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
    Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
    Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance.  Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery. 
    Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
    Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
    Peace

  • Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air
    VKB

    there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display come with a CD slot?

    Would anybody know if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a DVD slot to put a CD in?

    If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

  • Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the  dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash.  If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
    I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR.  Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep.  If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep. 
    I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR.  I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
    Tom

    Thanks for responding.  Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery .  Other sound effects play promptly.  I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display the same ghosting issue as the 15 inch?
