  • Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?

    Well there are two or three causes of eyestrain with displays different people seem to have.
    1: Small type/UI elements
    2: Glossy screens
    3: Flicker rate
    1:
    The higher pixel rate combined with the display set at the higher resolution is going to cause UI and type to be smaller and harder to see. In fact it's advised to set OS X to a lower resolouton so it upscales better to match the pixel of the higher display.
    Reports coming in say watching HD 1920 x 1080 trailers on the anti-glare 17" is best as the pixel content matches the display almost fullscreen, where on the MBP-R it's upscaled and thus looks blurry.
    HD content makers are NOT going to change all their video cameras to support 2880 x 1800 full screen, so in order to get a clearer image playing HD 1080 content, one will have to do so in a smaller window.
    2:
    The new MBP-R dispalys are 75% less glossy, but not 100% less glossy like the anti-glare models so this can still cause some people problems. This can be lowered to under 1%, however I'm suspecting to do so would be considered giving up a military advantage to China where Apple gets it products made.

    I don't know about the flicker rate if it's better or not on the MBP-R's than the previous screens.

  • Is the Macbook Pro Retina display better than the LED display on the new iMac that is coming out?

    I am thinking of either buying the Macbook Pro retina display (15") or waiting for the iMac 27" display. I am mainly focusing on the display, so what is better?

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina Display. In addition, I picked up a USB Superdrive. It appears the Superdrive does not want to accept my discs and just ejects them. What am I doing wrong?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    I recently bought a macbook pro retina and while I'm using it a yellow triangle pops up then disappears. I don't know what it says. How do I find out whats wrong?

    Oh, by all means. Uninstall it using its uninstaller if you have one. Do not install any anti-malware software as it's unneeded with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • I just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely. Does RemoteHD work on a machine without an IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

    I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and I have just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely., i.e not sitting at the computer.
    Does RemoteHD work on a machine without a built in IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

    I can't vouch for this as I've never tried one, but I think this does what you're after.

  • Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?

    Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?  I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive.  I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question). 
    I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future.  So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options?  If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices.  But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop).  I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined!  (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices.  I know I'm not getting bilked...)
    So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question?  Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future?  Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops!  And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
    Thanks everybody!

    The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
    macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
    These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop.

  • Don't see the Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model

    Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model - what happened to this model ? just brought this computer 4 months back and suddently this model disappeared? also the price on this one is equivalent to another higher model with 2.7 Ghz and 16 GB memory ?

    Apple removed some Retina MacBooks Pro and started selling other ones with slightly better hardware last week. If you have this MacBook, you can continue using it because, although Apple has upgraded the hardware, changes aren't big compared to your MacBook Pro model

  • Photos on sites are blurry on the Macbook Pro Retina Display?

    I just got a Macbook Pro Retina Display and while browsing I noticed that logos and photos on sites looked blurry. this is something that really bothers me in the fact that I'm a design and photography student.. i dont know if i should return it and get the old macbook pro or what...

    Give the world time. Resolutions above 2560x1600 are only meant for the 30" cinema display I am using right now, and the rest of the world does not have resolution suited for displays above 200ppi below 30". But, you are a photographer, so am I, and the Retina Display is beautiful at high res content including DSLRs and film scans.

  • Ps3/Xbox connect to the macbook pro retina display

    is it possible to connect a PS3/XBox to the new 2012 macbook pro with retina display?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's not possible. The only Macs that allow you to do it are the Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and you need a special adapter to connect your PlayStation to these iMacs. As the MacBook Pro doesn't support Target Display mode, you can't use it as a display for the PlayStation

  • Autocad on the MacBook Pro retina display

    If I download windows on the MacBook Pro with retina display does autocad have the same features as if it was the real windows?

    If you install Windows by using Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive IT IS REAL WINDOWS and works the same as any other Windows install.

  • Calibrate the MacBook Pro Retina display

    What spyder and what software would you suggest to calibrate the retina display of the new MacBook Pros?
    Thanks a lot!
    M.

    I use the Spyder4Pro at home and one at my office - the puck itself is exactly the same as the Elite, but the software is slightly more limited (Elite has more features for multi-display averaging, color,backlight uniformity & user-configurable whitepoint values. Can also be upgraded to Elite software at a cost, if necessary). It's a good fit as long as you're not needing to constantly calibrate multiple displays. Perfect for home and small biz situations with a few computers/monitors max, and contains all standard gamma/whitepoints out the box.
    As far as the MBPR goes, I gotta be honest here - I wasn't particularly pleased with the Spyder4's results for the Retina in my case. The rest of my displays look fine across the board, but the Retina (even after successive recalibration under different light conditions/viewing angles) looks just too yellow (with slight green cast) under the standard 2.2 Gamma/D65K whitepoint settings. I ended up simply using the default color profile (Color LCD) it shipped with, and while it's slightly on the cool side (blue cast), the whites/greys/blacks are much closer to that of my grey card when compared to the Spyder's yellowish profiles. Printed images (also profiled) are a closer match to default profile as well, though warmer just not to the extreme the Spyder4 was pushing. Again, this is simply my experience with it, I'd still recommend it as a calibration solution for most things, but I'd pass if you're going to use it to only calibrate the Retina. YMMV.
    Hope this helps, even if just a little.

  • Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

    I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations.  I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote.  Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display?  Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection.  Im looking for  a remote that worked like the apple TV remote.  My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac.  I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter.  It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good.  Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?
