I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display and battery starts at 8 hr charge and drops to 7 hr in just 30 minutes of run time. This is not what I expected from Apple!!

I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display. Fully charged battery shows 8 hrs at 100% then drops to 7 hrs after only 1/2 hr of use. I was hoping that 10.8.1 would have fixed a obviously well publicized defect.

Sorry pal, not this time. The release notes for 10.8.1 do not discuss anything about battery issues. I do know Apple is aware of the problem thought and are working on a fix, hopefully in the forthcoming 10.8.2.

Is the fact that the new MBP with Retina display, has choppy scrolling in safari, a reason not to buy it? Can it be fixed through software?

I am debating buying a new MBP with Retina or a Macbook Air. I am looking for more info on wat people have been saying about lag in safari. Thanks!

Hey fredryan..did you end up getting the rMBP? I too am a little concerned about the screen performance while I wait for mine to ship. If you have gotten yours do you mind commenting on how Mountain Lion affected it? Is the lag still a big issue? Thanks!

Underpowered USB ports on new MBP with retina display?

I just recently bought a MBP as described in the title and ran into an issue that I has not been yet reported with the USB ports. Basically both USB ports seem to have power issues and frequently shut down with mention of a device drawing too much current. The ports are unable to support my HP lapdesk (a fan/speaker combination) and cannot charge my 3GS iphone and use it to tether at the same time. Both devices that do this work just fine on my wifes 2011 3" MBP and my old 2010 15" MBP (actually both of those can support a mouse, headphones, an i phone and a fan/speakers in the same USB port without extra power). Is this a known issue or do I need to talk to apple about a hardware issue specific to my laptop?

No. This is not normal.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming Bug on the new MBP with Retina Display?

Hi,
today i got my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I am using Monsters Clarity HD Model One as speakers for my computer and have the new Bluetooth-Module called "Streamcast". This Module is APT-X and AAC compatible and has a really great quality. Normally...
But with the new MBP i can only stream the Audio via SBT (AD2P) what is a much worse quality. On my old MacBook Pro 13" AAC and APT-X was working very well.
Is that already a known issue? What can i do in this case?
Thanks a lot,
Rene

so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy. If not, bring it in for repair.

New MBP w/ Retina Display (base model). Upgrading to 16gb worth the added cost?

I plan to purchase the new MBP w/ RD (base model), but not sure if I should upgrade to 16gb of ram.
I know this is all based on the user, so here is some info to help with making suggestions:
In addition to basic computer use, I plan to do some semi-enthusiast level gaming and video editing via iMovie (no hardcore PS or FC Pro). When I say semi-ethusiast, I mean Diablo 3-type gaming.
Something tells me 8gb is more than enough to satisfy my needs, however, there is this side of me that's saying "UPGRADE!!"... I mean, 3rd gen i7 processor + SSD (from Samsung?) + latest nvidia GT 650M + 8gb DDR3L @1600mhz working in concert seems like a sweet combination to me...
I'm sure these Xgb vs. XXgb debate have been ongoing forever now, but if anyone can shed some additional light to help guide me into making the right purchase decision, I would greatly appreciate it.

Only you can answer that question.
Myself however, i would go with the MAX on the RAM since it's not user upgradeable.
You might need it in the future, then again, you might not.
Rule of thumb, better safe than sorry....
Spend the extra $$$ for the extra RAM if i were in your shoes.

Just got a new MBP w/ Retina Display and the webcam quality is horrid, help?

As the title says, I just bought my new macbook pro 15inch with retina display. Started to skype with a friend and noticed the quality of the webcam is HORRIBLE, even on photobooth. My 2010 MBP has way better quality than this, is this just a problem with the retina display ones or do all MBP now come with crappy quality webcams?

If it is not to your liking you have 14 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund.

All my contacts names have disappeared after upgrading to the lastest IOS. How do I restore this? I can't find people names etc. I run a business and this is not what I expect every time a new ios or something from apple turns up.

I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
10.7.1..... **** I've got the latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?
Andrew

1. Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
2. Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
3. Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
4. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
5. Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
5. Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
6. Put the new hard drive into your mac. Close it up. Turn it on. It should boot right up.
7. Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever.

How is your New iPad with Retina Display (4Gen) battery life?

I managed to get 6 hrs play out of my NEW ipad4 that connect to wifi and have brightness set 50%. (i said 6hrs because there is a 15% drop in battery each hour) is it good or not?How about yours?

There are some tips for maximising battery life between charges on this page : http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html e.g. turn off notifications, decrease the frequency of checking/fetching emails, turn off wifi if not using it etc

How does scaling work under Windows 7 with the new MBP with retina display?

After installing Windows in a boot camp partition on the new MacBook Pro, how does scaling work compared to OS X? Does Windows know to have several pixels imitate a single pixel like in OS X when running in 1440 x 900, or is there no scaling effect available?

I suggest reading the following article that was published yesterday...

I have Problem with my new macbook with Retina display

my new macbook with Retina display i have Problems
(Suddenly Stuck) stop working don't thing move even mouse even caps lock light in keyboard it not work it is totally Stuck till shutdown it from keyboard and restart

Hmm sounds like a saved application state issue and memory related.. I hate to ask are these graphic intensive apps. ?? games ??
Try these two things and restart if it still occurs then i recommend contacting AppleCare
disable the Resume and App Restore feature completely in Mac OS X 10.7.
Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”
- Click on the Apple on the top left. Choose shutdown "Uncheck" Reopen windows when logging back in
**use your mac normally just like you were if the issue reoccurs then contact AppleCare.. Enjoy..

I have an iPhone 4. Am I able to sync this to the new iPad with Retina Display?

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Am I able to sync this to the new iPad with Retina Display? I'm considering purchasing it!

The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.

HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009 and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.

HT1338 I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display and battery starts at 8 hr charge and drops to 7 hr in just 30 minutes of run time. This is not what I expected from Apple!!
