Just received a MacBook Pro 17" (antiglare display)

with 2 dead pixels...
What should I do? (I mean: how much time should I expect Apple to use to take care of that if I bring it to an Apple service center?)
I'm in Paris. I'm very irritated as I'm waiting to work on this computer.

Hi snippyhollow,
You'll need to contact Apple directly, this is a user-to-user discussion forum and not a direct channel for contacting Apple for support. Where did you get the machine, did you get it directly from the online Apple Store? Purchase it in the retail store or order it from a 3rd party reseller?
In the case of when I received a machine with two dead pixels I was presented with the following option(s) from Apple:
1.) They can replace the display panel, 4-6 business day turn around
2.) I can keep the machine, they can order me the panel and then I can bring in the unit when the part has arrived, 3-5 business day part order time and 24-48 hour service turn around.
I'd recommend reaching out to the place you purchased it from, first. If that's Apple... either call them or bring it in the store.

    Just received MacBook Pro with Retina Display, how do I download Mt. Lion for free?

    Go to http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ and follow the instructions. Will take anything from 1 minute to 72 hours.

  • I just received a Macbook Pro. My music is on my iPad and I would like to move it and the playlists to the Macbook Pro.

    How can I move my iTunes library, all songs and playlists, from my iPad to my new Macbook Pro?

    You might want to try this solution, though it is not a free solution and performance can lag depending on your network and connection:
    There is an app called Air Display.  It allows your macbook laptop (or iPad) to connect to your iMac for use of the display.  The Air Display software can be used via a wireless connection, but this setup is slower than the option of connecting both computers via ethernet wired connection for better performance. I believe there are other apps that may do the same thing.
    Things to watch out for:
    Make sure you read the reviews and contact the developer with any questions to avoid confusion.
    Make sure the app allows the laptop screen to be viewed on the iMac. Ask the developer or google for an answer. 
    Disclosure: I do not work for the company or benefit in any financial way from this suggestion.  I have never used the app, but from what I have read on the web, via ethernet, performance is acceptable...within limitations.
    Good luck.

  • I just bought a Macbook pro with renal display and it failed.

    I just got home from the local Apple store with my new Macbook but within 15 minutes of startup the renal screen failed. Is this a common problem?

    No - take it back to the Apple Store and have them take a look at it. WIthin 14 days of purchase you can choose to exchange for another machine or get a full refund.

  • Macbook Pro with Retina Display Trackpad double tap not working

    I just got my macbook pro with retina display and updated it to mountain lion. When I double tap text, it doesn't highlight it like it used to on my old macbook.
    I tried to so the trackpad update 1.0 but it says it is not supported on your system. What does that mean?? And even holding and highlighting doesn't work. is anyone else having the same problem?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • CS6 problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

    I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and Adobe CS6. After installing CS6, I noticed everything is pixelated. Any popup or lettering or words are pixelated and so are the brushed. I am not just talking about the fonts, but any word in the program. I use the program at school and everything is crisp and clear. Are my settings wrong or is there an update I need?

    Its the creative suite w photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. it's like that on all of them but I'm specifically talking about photoshop.

  • Macbook pro with retina display power adapter popped / exploded!

    I was just charging my macbook pro with retina display when a loud "pop" noise came from the power adapter and the red light on the magsafe2 connector went out. I unplugged it all immediately, but there was a burnt kind of smell and bit of black 'sooty' type material around one of the edges of the adapter!
    Thankfully the rMBP appears fine.
    I actually just got a replacement rMBP as the other one had a small scratch on the body. So both the charger and the rMBP that was atached at the time of the pop, will be returned in a few days anyway. Still I am a little alarmed by it all. The charger was plugged into a 6-way extension adapter with surge protection, so I don't think it was a power surge. And anyway my tv (also plugged into the socket adapter) was on at the time and there was no problem there. Can I assume it was just a fault in the adapter? I will tell them about it of course when I call up tomorrow to arrange the return. I just hope the same isn't going to happen with the new rMBP and charger!
    Has anyone else suffered a similar "pop" and broken adapter?

    Apple's warranty IS international. You have a one-year warranty when you buy the machine and you can extend that - and your phone support - to three years by purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan, which is international as well.
    Good luck with your new computer!

  • I just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and since then put it on 6-7 hours of charging but still my macbook pro is not 100% charged. but why? (green light is displayed on the adapter pin)

    i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.

    Hello Shailendras33,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!  Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue. 
    Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
    When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
    MagSafe connector starts to glow.  An amber light indicates the battery is charging.  A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
    MacBook Pro User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
    It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting.  I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    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.

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.
    Ciao.

  • TELUS called us and said they have detected Flashback virus from our MacBook Pro with retina display i just want to ask if this is possible and how can I fix the problem thanks

    If your OS is fully up-to-date, that is close to impossible. The Flashback site has not been known to be active since long before August.
    Did you migrate any users from an older system, perhaps? It might have been transferred if that is the case.
    ISP's are famous for mis-diagnosing these things with regard to Macs, so you might want to challenge them to provide you with their logs and specifics about what they are seeing.
    Is it possible that another device is on your network that could be causing this, either something you own or a neighbor using your network?

    hi just wondering, i live in ireland but i am planning to buy a macbook pro with retina display in america, will applecare purchased in ireland still cover the macbook from america, thank you

    Yes. Apple care is associated with the serial number, and stays with the machine even if you where to sell the machine before the Apple care expires.
