I have heard a lot of guys complain about the screen ghosting
And buring on and lg or Samsung how can I tell
By the way this MacBook Pro manufacturer February 2013
Does it have the same problem with the screen or not
ThanksKind of depends on your budget. The Macbook Air can be configured to match a lower end Macbook Pro in RAM and HD. Up to 8GB Ram and 512GB HD but will be a little more expensive.
If you need the extra storage and RAM, 1TB storage and 16GB RAM is the top of the line for the Mac Book Pro, then you should go for the Macbook Pro.
If 8GB RAM and 512GB HD is o.k for you, then you'll benefit from the Air's portability as its lighter and smaller.
All in all, I would if portability is really important, go for the Air, and just increase its RAM to 8GB. A small portable external Hard drive will compensate for the lack of internal storage. -
Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?
You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success. A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in? Thanks for any help you can give. JWA
QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

I have just bought a MacBook Pro and want to synchronise all data (excluding photos and music) and emails currently on my desktop iMac.
First question, how to I plug in an Ethernet cable to the MacBook so that the two can be connected to the same network via the ethernet? Step one of the Apple setup wizard has me flummoxed!
Second question, once I have that sorted, how do I keep the two devices synchronised (data files and email) and how do I keep the email synchronised to my iPhone?

MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM With Retina
Hi eveyone,
As many of you already did, today I've upgraded my MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) to Mavericks (10.9).
Unfortunately, I'm experiencing serious and unpleasant issues since I installed the upgrade.
Specifically, my monitor flickers almost every time I scroll an application window (e.g., Safari, Chrom or internet, either using an USB mouse or the trackpad.
Moreover, when I pass the mouse over the Dock, this starts vibrating from time to time.
After several reboots and given that one of the new features of Mavericks is the new management of external monitors, I've tried to re-install from scratch the OS X upgradewithout connecting my laptop to the external LCD but still nothing has changed.
I'm really annoyed by having both monitors flickering. Another particular thing is that if I try to click on the Finder menu appearing on the external monitor, this makes flicker the primary monitor approximately at the same coordinates (i.e., at the Finder menu of the laptop monitor).
It seems like something is going wrong with the video card drivers but this is just my conjecture.
Are you guys experiencing the same or is there anything you might want to suggest to solve these issues?
Thank you in advance
ANY HELP THERE ,IT IS REALLY DISAPONTEING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH APPLE PRODUCTS HELP PLEASE
THANKS
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)do you solve this problem?Because ı am living same problem.

I have the "open in low resolution" box checked by default and I can not uncheck it because it is shaded out. I already tried the "uninstall Acrobat, delete the 'com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist' file, and reinstall" solution, but it did not work. I am using Adobe CS6, acrobat pro 10.1.10, macbook pro w/ retina display, and OS X 10.9.4.
I don't think Acrobat 10 is capable of that. Only the very latest Acrobat 11 update has some concessions for Retina displays.

Can i buy an ipad with retina display + cell in the us and use it in mexico?
I want to buy an Ipad next week in Miami (retina display + cell), however it´s going to be used in Mexico and wouldn´t like to pay roaming.
I´d ike to know if I can use TELCEL (local provider e.g. AT&T) once I come back even if they ask me to choose either AT&T or Verizon. Which one should I choose since I´m not given the option not to...
ThanksThe charger is universal; it's rated at 100V to 240V
You only need a plug adapter. -
I want to buy the new MacBook Pro laptop with retina display
I will need 16GB ram, 256 starage should be enough. However, is it worth the extra for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory?
It does seem a good buy but I hate buying more than I need. However, I am looking to have this computer for at least 5 years before I'll upgrade again. So it has to last. I don't do much video editing at the moment but I'm sure I will in the future now that Final Cut Pro is only £199 – Wow!. Will this extra graphics card be a benefit for this? I don't play games so that doesn't come into the equation
Also I can't seem to add the card to the other configuration offered on the apple store page. I would be happy with the 15 higher spec retina but with a smaller hard disk but can't select that size disk. Can it be done? -
Buying a MacBook Pro - Help Suggestions
Hi,
I'm looking to get a new computer. I'm considering a MacBook Pro and could use some advice.
I'm a front-end web developer, who primarily works from home. In the instances in which I work for a client on-site, I usually use their equipment/software, otherwise, I'd be using this Mac.
The programs I primarily use are:
Photoshop
Illustrator
Chrome
Firefox
Safari
text editor)
Word
Excel
My Photoshop files can be pretty large, and it's not uncommon for me to have a dozen or so tabs open in each browser. The program I use the most would probably be my text editor of choice, as I spend the most time coding (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I also listen to music all day via YouTube. Additionally, I tend to work with all my applications/browsers open simultaneously, as I switch frequently between them.
Though I'm not a gamer, I intend to learn mobile development (both iOS and Android) this year.
A number of my clients use Internet Explorer, so I'd like to view IE on the Mac. I see that there's a program called VMWare Fusion which will allow me to view IE on the Mac. I currently have an old Dell computer that I will continue to use, if need be for PC-specific tasks.
With all that said, this looks like something that would fit me:
Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display
15.4-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch
16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB Flash Storage1
720p FaceTime HD camera
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
I'm not sure if I need that much RAM. I'm also willing to go down to 13-inch. This one in particular might be the better buy:
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel i7
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution
8GB (2 x 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
750GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 4000
...but I'm uncertain, as I think I should go with Quad-core over the Dual-core.
My budget is less than $2000, around $1500 (or less, if possible).
Any advice, tips as to what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I need to provide any further information.
Thanks.
StephenStephen,
it seems as though Photoshop and Illustrator would be the most voracious consumers of RAM among your primary programs. Because the RAM is soldered in on the Retina models, it’s non-upgradeable; so if you prefer a Retina model, I’d recommend that you go for a Retina model with 16 GB of RAM. (The non-Retina models have sockets, so their RAM is upgradeable.) If you prefer to work with all of your programs opened simultaneously, then don’t underestimate the importance of sufficient RAM.
I use a 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro myself, and it suffices for my needs (once I’d installed a SSD), but I don’t use Photoshop-type programs, so I don’t know if you’d find the 1280×800 resolution to be limiting in Photoshop. The discrete GPUs on the 15-inch models would also be of benefit to graphics-intensive programs.
With either of your choices, you could also install Windows on your MacBook Pro by using Boot Camp, and choose which OS to start at boot time. Either of your choices above could run 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 in Boot Camp; the non-Retina model could also run 32-bit Windows 7. -
I am a average user, watch a lot of movies, play music, word processing, lots of internet browsing etc.
I am currently considering the following:
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Dual-core Intel i5 with Retina Display
Originally released October 2013
13.3-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB Flash Storage1
720p FaceTime HD camera
Intel Iris Graphics
OR
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7 with Retina Display
Originally released October 2012
13.3-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB Flash Storage
720p FaceTime HD Camera
Intel HD Graphics 4000
They are both roughly the same price.I would tend to opt for the newer one. Even though the CPU specs suggest that the 2012 is faster, from a practical perspective you will be hard pressed to notice the difference in 'real' world conditions.

I'm thinking to buy a macbook pro 15'', but i'm scared that
I'm thinking to buy a macbook pro 15", but i'm really scared that Autocad doesn't run very well. I'm an architect so I NEED AUTOCAD. i also used photoshop and illustrator..sketchup too. I was searching for some reviews and i found that with the new Mountain autocad doesn't work. What can i do or if there's someone that had or has the same problem or experience. Thanks!
Check out this Autodesk FAQ - seems as if there's a 2013 version that will work just fine.
Good luck,

Lots of questions before buying a macbook pro..help please!!
So I am about to buy a macbook pro in the next couple of days with these specifications:
MacBook Pro, 15-inch
Part Number: Z0EZ
Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
Accessory Kit
2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
MacBook Pro 15-inch Widescreen Display
200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
SuperDrive 8X (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
After I get the computer I am going to upgrade to 4 GB myself (cheaper). This computer will primarily be used for video editing (I'm off to film school). Here come the questions!!
1. This is probably a really stupid question, but the 15 inch macbook pro has an isight right?
2. I am in need of an external hard drive (or two). I was thinking of getting 1 TB primarily for my video projects, and then another 250 GB hard drive for time machine. Are two external hard drives going to be too much for the computer to handle? What hard drive(s) do you recommend? Right now I am thinking a G-Tech 1.0TB Quad-interface hard drive and a 250 GB G-Tech hard drive (for time machine). Which leads to my next question.
3. I would love to use eSATA with my TB hard drive...but there aren't eSATA ports included on the macbook pro (I think). So i researched and found the 2-Port NitroAV eSATA II 3Gb/s Professional Express Card (34mm). This would work with the computer right? Is eSATA necessary or should I just stick with firewire? I'm attracted to it because I will be editing video with the computer and I would love the increased speeds but I'm afraid it will overwhelm the computer.
Okay I think that's it! Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks1-yes
2-look at macsales.com, click on harddrives then all things fire wire. they have a lot of different drives ranging all the way up to a 2 tb setup (its 2 separate stripped raid set ups that are then mirrored against each other). they also sell some esata dives, not sure what size they go to but they hae them
fire wire 400 has some crazy top limit of drives you can chain together of like 40some odd so 2 will be fine, i have 2 running right now and no issues. i would suggest if you get the drives form OWC (macsales) you use the softraid program that comes with it.
3- you can get a pci card for the card slot which macsales also sells if you go though them so you dont have to go more than one place
