I need a recommendation for a 24" monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro

I need a recommendation for a 24" professional photography monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am looking for a monitor that plays well with my 13" late 2013 Macbook pro. I tryed the Dell U2413 and found after the fact that it did not work well with my Macbook pro. Read up on the Asus PA 249Q, It also seems to have problems with my Macbook Pro. Apple display is larger than i want. Looking for recommendations for compatable IPS monitor for use with Aperture. buget is $300 to $800.
Anybody happy with thiers?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Aperture 3.5.1

Any monitor will work. Decide what specs work best for your needs and get that monitor.

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000.
The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300.
With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
On other applications your mileage may vary.
Application benchmarks:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
Graphics oriented benchmarks:
On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

Is Snow Leopard recommended for a Late 2008 MacBook Pro?

Will Snow Leopard work on my Late 2008 MacBook Pro?
Any cautions or advice?
Have any of the Top Users upgraded to Snow Leopard yet? If not, why?
Thank ya!

You might check to see if all your apps and system add-ons you commonly use are compatible first. If that's your only computer, you might wait a bit yet.

John, please refrain from posting your personal email in these threads. It is not necesary and all communication to you can be done directly in these forums. Posting your email address can open up you to tons of unwanted spam, among other things. Really all you can do is search the internet for them. My suggestion would be to google "case for late 2007 macbook pro".
One will probably be very hard to find for a 6 year old model as it is on the borderline of being considered "vintage". Ebay may be a good place to try too.

I've got a power cable from my 2011 macbook air which I would like to use as a spare cable for my new 2013 macbook pro, but the design has changed. Is there an adapter available so that I can use it?

Need an SSD for a mid 2010 MacBook Pro...

My HDD suddenly died on me! No warning. It's still spinning away, clicking away but totally dead. Not even showing up on any disk repair recovery programs, ***?.
Anyhoo, I need a new HDD and have decided to go with an SSD.
I have a mid 2010 15" 2.66 i7 MacBook Pro, and am wondering what SSD spec I need to be looking for.
I'm pretty sure that the new drive would need to be SATA II. Anything more would be over kill.
Other than this, any other considerations regarding compatability that I need to be aware of?
Thanks guys, for any pointers offered.

It depends on how much you're willing to spend. A ~250GB SSD will cost you around $400-500, depending on the make and type (SATA I vs SATA II). My minimum recommendation for any boot drive size is in the 80-120GB range (leaning toward the higher end of that), and these will cost between $100-$200 for an SSD. SATA II SSDs will be more expensive than SATA I versions, but the performance of the SATA I SSD will be well above the performance of an SATA II mechanical HDD.
These days, if you're up for it my recommendation is a ~120GB SSD replacement for the optical drive (there are several companies that sell brackets for holding 2.5-inch drives in the optical drive bay), which will allow you to use the SSD as a boot drive and the existing HDD as a storage drive. It's great on battery life and offers exceptional performance for the money.

Can I use my late 2013 Macbook pro as a display for my xbox one. I am currently sick with the flu and I do not have a tv in my room. Is there anyway to use the hdmi port on my mac and connect it to the xbox one?

I am currently sick with the flu and in my room I dont have a tv. I tried plugging my xbox one's hdmi into the hdmi port on my macbook pro late 2013 retina display. I even tried connecting the hdmi cable to a hdmi mini display mort converter and that didnt work. How can I use my Macbook as a monitor to play game on

I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

Can the late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" power 2 external Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors at full resolution?

Hi, I'm looking at buying the current Macbook Pro Retina 13", but I'd like to use it with 2 Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&kc=305&l=en& oc=U2713HM-Black&s=dhs&sbc=dell-u2713hm
My plan was to use the the thunderbolt ports to the monitors DisplayPort plug. Can the 13" Macbook Pro drive 2 external screens @ 2560x1440 I'm happy to shut the macbook lid if necessary.
If the 13" can't do it, can the 15" model with it's discrete graphics card?
The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM – it’s everything you could want in a 27” monitor – screen brilliance, comfort and eco-consciousness all rolled into one

Arsenic-free glass and mercury-free LED panel
Why not the Apple Thunderbolt screen, well I prefer a non-reflective screen in the office, but If I can't do it with the Dell's can it be done with 2 27" Thunderbolt monitors from the 13" Macbook Pro?

In a word, yes.
The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

Where can I find a new Magsafe power adapter for my late 2008 Macbook Pro

Needing a cover for my 13 in macbook pro

new to mac, wanted to purchase a cover so i dont scratch this laptop any ideas?

Hi,
do not hide your MacBook design with hard cases.
Take care and transport it not in a soft cover but in a
stable case like:
http://www.booqbags.com/laptop-backpacks-laptop-bags/13-inch-macbook-bags/Vyper- XS3-macbook-sleeve
It is a staple transport bag and it fits perfect. I use it long time and
its perfect.
And to protect the bottom of the case use:
http://www.bluelounge.com/products/kicks/
Available hard covers, which you can snap on the Notebook has the
disadventages, that they collect dirt between notebook and cover and
therefore scratch with their micro movements the body.
You have to clean it regulary and with the mounting and unmounting,
scratches at the side will be sure.....
My experiences with all my Apple stuff is to use it with care, transport it
in an suitable case....and tht´s it :-),
Greetings from Germany and have fun with your Mac!

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13'' Configuration for Designer

Hi there!
I'm working as a designer and I'm buying my first macbook. I want really smooth performance, good battery life for traveling and quiet - silent - not overheating - run.
That's why I'd love to have 13" (+ external) display and new Haswell, but I'm not sure about CPU & RAM at all. Could you help me, please?
I use following apps:
Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator (webdesign, iOS apps, logo & branding)
Chrome tabs (many), Youtube / Spotify for music
Standard office & communication tools (e.g. ms office, skype)
And I'm going to buy new camera and use Lightroom a lot.
So the questions are:
2,4 or 2,6 GHz (i5) or maybe 2,8 GHz (i7)? I'd love to have performance with i7 but battery life and silent run is more important.
8 or 16 GB RAM? Again, battery life and not overheating is very important. But if i5 & 8GB is not enough for my apps, then I'll buy i7 & 16GB.
Thanks for any advice!

1. i7 - you're going to get better performance when running CPU intensive apps (e.g., Photoshop & Illustrator).
2. Definitely 16GB - you can't replace the RAM in Retina models as you could in the 'older' non-Retina machines.
The Iris graphics in the 13" Retina is going to slow down Photoshop somewhat - I've not seen any specs on PS 3D rendering on the built-in Iris graphics. I don't even know if you can use the Iris graphics (vs. the Iris Pro and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory) for 3D operation (anyone know?).
I doubt that you would lose much battery life with the i7 - it's all dependent on how you use your MBP when running on battery.

How to update graphics card drivers for late 2008 macbook pro with Nvidia 9600m GT?

Can anybody help me update the drivers for my 9600m GT graphics card for my Late 2008 Macbook pro? I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with a Windows 7 partition. I have tried finding support on Nvidia's website, but at least for the 9600m GT, it isn't supported for my operating system. Would I have to update it from my Windows side? And if so, would the update apply to my OS X side as well? I have a little computer knowledge, but nothing indepth.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In OS X, Apple provides the GPU drivers and you cannot update them from NVIDIA. They are updated with each OS X update, so you are running the most recent drivers for your OS X version. OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks have got more recent GPU drivers, but it's not worth upgrading unless you need newer drivers for an app (I highly doubt this).
However, you can update the GPU drivers in Windows, and you should do it to get the best performance. You can download them from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Note that drivers are only applied in the operating system you are installing them, so they will not be installed in OS X

RAM for Late 2006 Macbook Pro C2D?

Can anyone tell me what kind of RAM i would need to order for my machine? Macbook Pro, C2D, 2.16 ghz, 15.4"
I've been having bad luck with crucial.com in getting either bad or incorrect batches of RAM to the point where two batches that came in wouldn't even allow the computer to turn on, and the one RAM that did allow the computer to turn on freezes the machine constantly. It's extremely frustrating.
Orginally my machine had 1 GB of RAM, I have attempted to upgrade to 2GB x 2, so 4 GB's of RAM total.
I was on newegg shopping for RAM, as suggested by a apple genius bar employee, but I'm not sure which RAM to get. Are there any differences in these? Please see attached image.

Welcome Mark!
The 2.16G C2D can access only a maximum of about 3.2G RAM, but installing 2 two 2G modules usually works. For easily a decade, I have purchased all my Mac RAM from two Mac-savvy online vendors and have always received the proper RAM. Here are their links to RAM for your computer:
Other World Computing:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/Pro/Core2/
Data Memory Systems:
Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15.4" Screen(200 Pin PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMMs)
We're a little handicapped here by not knowing your location. The links I posted are for US-baaed vendors. The first one ships internationally; the second only to certain countries.

Best Case & Screen Protector for Early 2013 MacBook Pro 13" w/ Retina Display

Hi All,
My question is captured in my Discussion Title - I'm simply trying to find out which cases and screen protectors works/fits best for the Early 2013 MacBook Pro computer?
I appreciate your input,

I would think if you are going to run both of those programs at the same time, or even one at a time, a system with discrete graphic would be a better fit for you.
The next question is if you are doing web design do you really need a retina display. At this time only apple has them so everyother computer viewing your web designs wouldn't see the difference, if there is any to begin with.

I need a recommendation for a 24" monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro
