  • Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

    Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

    Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
    You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

    Hi
    Apple Remote Desktop is part of your OS and just as other system updates you should install it as it fixes some issues as listed here:

  • I am using MacBook Pro retina display

    i am using MacBook Pro retina display with mountain lion but it is not updating to 10.8.2 either this updation is available and also had downloded and working on my friends Macbook Air...why not working on my machine can anybody help me out plzz

    An Apple Tech person told me (I have the same problem) that this is a problem that the OSX 10.8.2 update has with solid-state storage devices.  They are working on a fix, he said, and will push it out via Software Update when it's ready.  He had no idea when that would be. 

  • IMovie and iPhoto won't update on Used Macbook Pro Retina

    I purchased a used macbook pro retina and did the usually initial setup for the laptop. My issue is that these two stock apps won't update in the app store. I recieve a message asking me to login using the ID that was used to purchase the app. I am assuming this is the ID of the previous owner , which of course I do not have. Any Ideas ???

    The MBP needs to be disassociated from the original owners Apple ID. The original owner needs to call Apple Care to request that. Or if you have a sales receipt that proves you legally have purchased the MBP they may do it for you.
    Then the MBP needs to be wiped clean and the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac installed using OS X Recovery. You can also reinstall the iLife apps, which you should accept into your Apple ID in the Mac App Store on the Purchaes pane.

  • Any remedy for eye strain using macbook pro retina?

    since purchasing a macbook pro retina display around 33 weeks ago I'm getting major eye strain from using it and I'm not talking excessively,only an hour or two at a time,trying reducing the brightness but still no better,anybody else had success with this problem?as i know others have had same issue

    I can only tell you my experience after having used the anti-glare screen for over 5 years.  I can sit in front of my laptop for hours without any adverse effects.  I passed on the retina Macbook Pro because it seems like an abomination not to offer such a beautiful screen in anti-glare format.  The retina is less glossy than the regular screen, but nowhere close to the anti-glare in comfort (for me, at least).
    I would check with her doctor, too.  It may actually be that a screen with a smaller native resolution is better for her.

  • My Macbook Pro Retina can't turn discrete graphics on.

    I bought Macbook Pro Retina few days ago. Everything was fine, but yesterday my macbook couldn't switch to discrete 650M. And it can't do it now. I tried everything - Formatting SSD and installing everything again, switching between intel hd 4000 and 650M in system settings. In system report 650M is working, but when i play games i see low frame rates and i can't hear fans. One day ago this wasn't like that. There was high frame rate and i heard fans. Any idea what I can do with that?

  • Using Macbook Pro Retina with 2011 iMac

    About to purchase a new Macbook Pro Retina and hope to use my existing 2011 iMac as an external display which I believe is possible with this model. If it is, which cable will I need? Thunderbolt?
    Thanks

  • New MacBook Pro Retina can't find new Time Capsule.

    I have a new MacBook Pro Retina, for which I am trying to set up a new Time Capsule.  The Time Capsule is attached by Ethernet cable to my modem, and I have opened Airport Utility.  The Time Capsule is continuously blinking amber, and Airport Utility says "No configured Airport base stations have been found." Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  Yes, I am running OS 10.8.2.

  • Mac os x yosemite 10.10.1 still lags and bugs while using macbook pro retina 13inch i5 mid 2014

    i just got macbook pro retina and i upgraded to yosemite 10.10.1 its still have bugs and lags a lot , does anybody feel the same ,
    its not smooth at all ..

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Macbook pro retina display 15 inch ram upgrade with apple care

    hi,
    I have a early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina Display 15 inch.
    Doing some research, i do realized that RAMs are not upgradeable due to being embedded to motherboard.
    I was hoping if there any chance to upgrade my RAM from 8 gb to 16 gb through Apple Care that i currently have.
    I would love to hear back any feed backs on any possible way to upgrade your RAMS in MPR 15 inch.
    thank you much!!!

    thumbmania,
    It's impossible for anyone - Apple included - to upgrade the RAM on a Retina MacBook Pro. With those machines, you have to live with what you originally purchased.
    Sorry,

  • Anyone using Macbook Pro retina 13"?

    Interested to find out the response times when editing RAW photos on Aperture with the new MacBook Pro 13" retina.  (USe canon 7D)
    I was about to buy when was told that the graphics card is not the same as the 15" - love the smaller size but don't want to end up watching the wheel while Aperture processes the changes made to the RAW photos..
    Thanks for your input 

    There are too many variables to provide any useful guidance.  In general, Aperture is well-engineered to take full advantage of whatever hardware you have, and will use whatever you can provide.  If you can afford faster hardware, it will likely make Aperture faster.  Whether that is worth the cost depends very much on things such as:
    - what you think of "normal", as "fast", and as "slow".
    - the size of your RAW files
    - what kinds of adjustments, and how many of them, you apply
    - the number of Imaes you adjust at one time
    - what else is currently running on your computer
    If you provide complete specs of, say, two machines you are considering, some of the knowledgeable folks here might jump in with some specific suggestions.  My _hunch_: a 13" with an SSD with 100 GB free space, 8 GB RAM for OS X and Aperture alone (get more if you want to multitask), and whatever GPU it comes with should run Aperture well for almost all users.  If the size difference between 13" and 15" is important to you, I wouldn't recommend against the 13".  The 15" will -- at additional cost -- run faster, perform better, and give you much more screen real-estate.
    Imho no one running Aperture should select a laptop that doesn't have the Retina screen.

  • I bought a macbook pro a month ago and didnt know there was a better/newer model (macbook pro retina) - can I upgrade/take back my macbook and get the new one?

    When they told me about it I just thought it had a better display and decided it didn't bother me if the resolution was better, not knowing that it was thinner, has a HDMI connection, etc.
    I bought my macbook pro 13 inch exactly a month ago tomorrow. If I go back and tell them this will I be able to upgrade my laptop? I paid more than $1300 or something for this one, I'd be willing to pay up to the price of the retina model, do you think I'd be able to do this?

    If your non retina MBP has a dvd slot and a large capacity conventional hard drive, you might find the retina model would have been less convenient with lower capacity SSD and no DVD.
    On the other hand, the MacBook Pro with Retina display has got a much faster drive and you can get an external DVD drive (not everybody needs a DVD drive)
    Absolutely, like I say personal Choice.  I believe from remarks in here that the SSD boots up on Mavericks in something like 10 seconds whereas mine takes even longer to boot than in Mountain Lion. But then we are advised to use sleep over boot as much as possible.  My problem is I have 300GB of stuff and getting bigger, and when I bought mine the biggest SSD was 250 I think. For me the choice of replaceable RAM vs soldered-in RAM was a clincher.
