Just bought a Macbook Pro 2.3ghz with retina display...
Does it have single band or dual band for 802.11N wi-fi networking? I'm trying to figure out what wireless router to buy. Thanks, Sal
The MBP has an N card that operates at 5 GHz. Does not require a dual band router so does the iPhone and iPad, so unless you have legecy G equipment you won't need a dual band G/N.

Internal drive for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display from late 2013?
Hi everyone. After some water spillage to my new computer, the guys at the Apple Store have told me that my internal hard drive needs to be replaced. No other damage was done, thankfully. I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display from late 2013. The Apple genius said my current hard drive has flash storage, and that my new hard drive will need that as well as the computer requires it. Does anyone know where I can buy such a hard drive? Is it possible to buy it from Apple? I am happy to buy online or in a store (I live in Australia). Also, is this Mac Pro model difficult to take apart? I'd like to install the hard drive myself.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!From the specs:

My Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display crashes sometimes when connected to an external monitor
My almost-new Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display goes black and shuts down sometimes when connected to my external monitor. (The first time it did this was when connected to a projector.) They have replaced the motherboard but it still happens sometimes. The computer and monitor both come back on after a few seconds.

I want to pay for a MacBook pro 15 inch with retina display online and send someone to pick it up from a store is it possible if ok who and where contact me
<Email Edited by Host>When you order a MBP you can have it delivered at any Apple retail store. When you get the e-mail that the MBP is ready to be picked up, you have options to enter in the rersponse if you or someone else will pick it up. You will have to fill in some required information that will identify that person to the store personnel.
I had my last MBP delivered to the local store, but I picked it up.

OS X 10.8.2 and Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display...
I bought a 13 inch macbook pro with retina display 6 days ago and am having issues with updating the OS to OS X 10.8.2. I have downloaded the update and when I attempt to install it flashes up this message " OS X update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I have spoken to the guys at the apple store where I bought it and they said that it was an software corruption and exchanged the machine. However the new machine is still having the same problem so I discussed it with them once more. Now they say there is no update and I have to wait for it to be released. I am confused because the display 13 inch macbook pro with retina displays have the software, OS X 10.8.2, installed. How is that? Anyone know what the **** the truth is and how I remedy my current problems?
Kindest regardsI just tested it and this is what I got on my 2012 MBP:
As this update is from October, it is the regular update for machines prior to mid/late (?) 2012's. We are supposed to test solutions before posting them; in any case, this will not work on 2012's. -
Just bought a MacBook Pro 15 Inch with the 2.53 Ghz (Fan Issue)
Hi, this is my second macbook pro and I am wondering if this is an issue or not. Ever since I opened it out of the box a few days ago, the right side of the laptop is slightly louder (the fan) than the left fan. It is not an abnormal noise (its a natural sound of the fan spinning) but its slightly louder. They are both currently running at 2000 RPM default (from istat widget) but I am wondering if this is normal. My first macbook pro (2009) is quieter.
Is an SMC reset necessary for a 3 day old macbook pro or some other solution? If anything is wrong, then I shall return it for another one with 14 days.
Please help, thank you!I believe the fans are independently controlled, so if you are doing something processor intensive the fan over the CPU would undoubtedly be running more than the one over the GPU. Judging that it's your 2nd MBP, it's probably normal.

[SOLVED, mostly] Arch on Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display
I've been looking into the Apple MacBook Pro. Of course, I would want to get rid of Mac OS X and load up Arch. Please tell me if the following will work out-of-the-box or have workarounds:
WiFi
Ethernet
Sound
Touchpad
Keyboard
Charging
Bluetooth
Graphics Card
Webcam
Microphones
USB 3.0 Ports
HDMI Port
SDX Card Reader
I know the high DPI display shouldn't be a problem since GNOME Shell now supports those, but I want to be able to use all of the above things. Also, please let me know if there are any other problems to look out for. Thanks.
Last edited by JohnSmithLinux (2013-12-02 01:50:36)I can't comment on your specific model, but IMHO, getting a Mac (especially a Mac laptop) to run Linux exclusively doesn't make much sense, for the following reasons:
Apple's EFI implementation is weird, and some features (most notably the ability to upgrade the firmware) can be done only with the help of OS X. As a practical matter, this means that you'll either have to use exotic tools like the Linux version of "bless" or boot the computer in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode -- and even then, upgrading the firmware will be a hassle, should that become necessary. Booting in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode is the easier path, and there's nothing wrong with doing it that way, but as the industry is moving away from BIOS and toward EFI, it means that either you'll be going in the other direction or you'll need to struggle with a Linux-only EFI-mode installation on the Mac.
Hardware support in Linux for Macs is a bit weird, in part because of the preceding issue (the weird Apple firmware). I realize your question is aimed at uncovering specific answers about this topic, but as a general rule, Apple hardware seems more trouble-prone under Linux than standard PC hardware. Also, note that hardware support can vary depending on the mode you use (BIOS/CSM/legacy vs. EFI). Video hardware can be particularly troublesome on some models, with BIOS/CSM/legacy sometimes working better.
Mac mice (including laptop trackpads) are 1-button devices, but Linux works best with 3-button mice. A 2-button mouse can do in a pinch. Using a 1-button mouse with X requires applying unusual workarounds involving the use of keyboard keys while clicking the mouse button. Although this can be done, it's an extra hassle, both to set up and to use. On a desktop computer, of course, you can just replace the mouse, but this isn't always practical with a laptop.
I haven't checked pricing recently, but Apple hardware tends to carry a price premium compared to similar hardware from other manufacturers.
Although most of these issues (with the possible exception of price, if you're on a tight budget) aren't really critical by themselves, they combine to create a rather unpleasant combination, at least when considering a Mac exclusively as a platform for running Linux. If you wanted to dual-boot with OS X, things would be different, of course, but personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac as a Linux-only computer.
If you've got specific reasons for wanting a Mac, perhaps you could post them here. Although I personally haven't shopped for a laptop for a while and so can't offer specific suggestions, somebody else might be able to suggest alternatives that would do what you want. -
Should i buy a 17inch Macbook Pro 2011 model or the new Macbook pro 15 inch with retina display?
Im wondering which one i should buy.
im selling my iMac for it.
They both are really nice laptops, and are around the same price.
I just dont know which one to buy.
if i buy the 17 inch i get the DVD Drive, all the additional ports, and a bigger screen.
if i buy retina i get the 15 inch retina display(smaller screen), thiiner body, 75% less glare and more.
What do you think? which one would you buy?Well, I am a smallish, sixty-something woman, and I've never found my 17" MBP (2008) too heavy to haul around. I got rid of my desk-top when I got this 17 incher, thinking I would eventually get a monitor for the large screen. Well, it has been 4 and a half years and I haven't found a need for the monitor yet.
I do a lot of photography, the kind with serious editing, so my hi-res non--glare screen is a must, as is the larger screen.
If I hauled this thing with me everywhere I went, it would be cumbersome, but that's what my ipad is for. The 17" MBP has been my dream machine, I just hope they source 17" retina panels and put it back in the line-up before I have to replace my trusty old machine.
For the way I use the MBP, a 15" would leave me needing a desk top version to supplement it. I like having the one machine to do it all, and love that I now have the ipad to do the light hauling. No need to take up space on my desk (or sit at a desk) with a desk top, when I have the 17" MPB. -

MacBook Pro 15.4" with Retina Display Part Number
Hello everyone,
I'm planning to buy my first MacBook, and I'm looking forward to buy a 15" with maxed out spec.
What is the differences between part number: "Z0RD00009" or "Z0RD00071" or "MGXG2LL/A" ?
I know that "Z0RD00009" is the machine I want, but there are other part number, that has the same maxed out spec as the ""Z0RD00009", so I'm a little confused by all the different part number.It's very confusing, see link below to the machine on Adorama. Notice how they even have "MGXC2LLA" in the url, but on the page, the MFR number is "Z0RD00009 Z"
Also does anyone know if there is a different in the hard drive for this laptop? I've seen "1TB PCIe-based flash storage" and "1TB SSD", either way, it's supposed to be the "1TB PCIe-based flash storage" correct?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -
I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014
I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt. -
