LAN connection on MacBook Pro Retina??

I am actually thinking about buying the new MacBook Pro Retina but I have seen that there is no more connection point for the LAN cable, is that right? Is it possible for me to get around that and to get internet even if I haven't got WLAN?

Purchase the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter.

    How do i connect my macbook pro retina display to lcd projector?

    Depends on what type of video connection the projector accepts. Most common would be DVI, VGA or HDMI. Review this article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3235

  • Stay connected to the LAN when the MacBook Pro Retina is folded

    Greetings,
    Question to the new MacBook Pro Retina – is it possible to stay connected to the LAN when the Mac is folded?
    The reason why I am asking is that I often go from one meeting room to another meeting room.
    Before with my ”normal” MacBook Pro I knew that I couldn’t – now with my new MacBook Pro Retina, I assume it should be possible (in theory at least). If it is possible – how can I set the network settings or other to make it possible?
    Please let me know

    A little heat is no issue because the vent is right under the back part of the keyboard. There have been some recent reports of the fans turning on without warning for a minutes or two which will also add to the heat that you're feeling. The new ventalation system will put a little heat on the keyboard but it's okay.

  • What hbmi cord do I need to connect my Macbook Pro retina display to a Windows desktop?

    I'm trying to connect my Windows desktop to my Macbook Pro retina dispay so i can transfer CD's. ALthough I dont know what cord to get.

    Your post is a little confusing. HDMI is for connecting video, like hooking your Mac to a TV. It sounds like you want to transfer files. If you have a wireless network, just share the folder with the music on your Windows machine and you should be able to copy it to your Mac.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting on MacBook Pro Retina

    I recently purchased the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter to connect to my 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to a hardwired internet connection for faster downloads. However, when I connect the ethernet cord to the adapter nothing happens and only the wifi connection is identified.
    Ethernet or Thunderbolt Ethernet are not an option in the System Preference > Network. Also, either connection are options when trying to add a network interface ( System Preferences > Network > + > Interface).
    I have tried several fixes like Resetting PRAM or Removing Network Preferences File. The NetworkInferences.plist and Preferences.plist files did get recreated after reboot, but only the WIFI interface shows up.

    I am sure the Thunderbolt ports are functional since I am able to connect my display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
    Could I have corrupted the Network Preference File or is could the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter damaged?
    Please help.

    I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
    Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
    or
    Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

  • Unstable WiFi connectivity in macbook pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

    Hi guys!
    My macbook pro is connected to the internet via WiFi router, and it very often it happens that my macbook loses connectivity with it. WiFi logo shows the same signal strength, but all browsers (Safari & Chrome) can't load webpages.
    This issue can be solved by turning WiFi on and off, but it happens again and again. It looks like connectivity loses when Macbook goes in sleep mode and get's back from it, but sometimes connectivity issues happen even without sleep mode switching.
    I found in the internet that this issue can be solved by turning off Bluetooth and tried, but it didn't help.
    I totally understand that from one point of view this issue is not a big deal, but we are speaking about Apple device, and before I thought that this brand is synonime for ultimate quality and reliability. So please help me with this issue and bring back my faith in Apple;)

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • How to connect my macbook pro retina and PC to the same monitor(s)?

    What's up all - any recommendations here are highly appreciated.  I have a gaming PC setup with two (2) DVI out's going to two 24" monitors.  One monitor has DVI, HDMI, the other just has DVI.  No use in talking VGA here.
    I also have a 15" MBP Retina.
    Question:  What equipment (KVM switch) and setup would allow me to just have my monitors, mouse, keyboard in place and easily switch between my PC and MBP?

    a other way is use the T model. connect the two mac with the  Thunderbolt cable or FireWire cable

  • Apple USB Keyboard not working when connected in Macbook PRO retina

    I have this problem. When I connect my new Apple usb keyboard directly to the laptop it does work. Is there any way to solve this problem?
    BR

    I just did the latest update and my Apple USB keyboard stopped working. The keyboard works fine with other computers and other keyboards work with my Macbook.
    The keyboard ships with a three foot extension cable. I plugged the keyboard into the Macbook with this cable and now it's working fine. I think it has something to do with the USB port being 3.0. A USB hub may also solve the issue.

  • Connecting 4k monitor to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid

    I tried to connect to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid 15 inch 2.7GHZ model. Initially I connected using HDMI to 3840x2160 at 30 hz. I casually changed the resolution to 1080 p from scaled option. Now I no more get the option of scaling to 4k. I am unsure what is the issue over it. When I log into my windows. I am able to log in with my original 4k resolution in 30 HZ. Any guidance would be really great.
    2) I read a few forums regarding 4k with 60hz external monitor connection for macbook pro retina 2012 mid. But I couldn't get a clear solution whether it is possible or not. Would be great if someone can show lights on this too.

    1- does Apple ever do exchanges for newly released products?  I bought my MacBook in jan they came out with new in mar.
    If you purchased the product from Apple, not a third party, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return it for a refund or exchange.  You are well past that.
    2- if and when Apple comes out with a 4k or 5k thunderbolt display, will it be backwards compatible with my MacBook sich that I can't get the resolutions and 60mhz?
    I do not have an answer to that and the Terms of Use for these forums discourages from speculating what Apple may or may not do in the future.  Having said that, from a practical business standpoint, backwards compatibility would be a sensible approach.  It has been done so in many areas in the past.

  • Connecting Dell u2715h Monitor to Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013

    I recently purchased the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor U2715H to work as a second monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013).
    What connection cables do I need to make this work most effectively?

    Hi,
    I bought the same monitor. I will receive it next week, but i read some blogs about the best alternatives for getting the 2560x1440 and my first option will be connecting my macbook pro retina 13' using the thunderbolt (mini-display port) to the mini-display port available in the monitor.
    I'm planning using this cable:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m
    A mini-reference about the mini-display port (It was useful for me):
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This is what I'm planning to do. Note that I don't know if it works! I think so, but I don't know. I will tell you if it works next week.
    If you have a mini-display port to display port cable it should work too.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

  • HT5219 Connecting macbook pro (retina) with a 27" imac.

    I am having trouble finding information on how to connect my Macbook pro (retina) with my imac 27" using a thunderbolt cable. I know that it is possible but have been unsucessful so far.
    Any help would be greatly appreacted!

    You did not remove your Windows partition correctly. You need to remove it using Boot Camp Assistant. If you cannot then you will need to repartition the entire drive back to a single partition/volume.

  • HDMI failure on MacBook Pro Retina Display

    When I connect my MacBook Pro Retina Display (late Aug 2012) with HDMI cable to my HD TV their both screens turn blue and the Mac needs reboot. I used that same TV with my 3 yo MacBook Pro to watch over the HDMI (with some extra cabling) and it was fine. Why is it happening this now with the New Retina dispaly?

    Hey, I have the same problem too. It is making me angry. Both my thunderbolt outputs work, but the hdmi freezes both screens. I then have to shut the computer off by holding the power button and re-boot. Have you found a solution? I NEED my hdmi port. Please get back to me. Thanks!

  • Macbook Pro Retina, HDMI Sound issues

    When I connect my macbook pro retina to my SONY TV via HDMI the picture works but I can't get any sound.  I went into the sound settings and selected SONY but it tells me the select a device has no output controls.

    This happened to me the other day, with an LG TV. Although it's not en eegent solution, I found that unplugging the HDMI, turning the sound up on the laptop, then plugging it in again worked. Until Apple releases a fix for the OS, that's the only thing I've found to work.

  • Stretched image MacBook Pro Retina to 720p TV

    Whenever I connect my MacBook Pro Retina to my Panasonic HD Ready tv the entire image on the tv is stretched a bit vertically.
    It's not the gravest of problems but it is pretty **** annoying when watching any kind of video. All the heads and everything is a tiny bit stretched and it just gives a generally distorted feel.
    I've tried everything there is to try under Displays, like; mirroring, changing resolutions, scaling etc. but to no avail. Sometimes I can get a reasonable result when changing aspect ratios in VLC player but that doesn't always do the trick.
    I tried connecting my MacBook to a Full HD tv once and the problem didn't seem to arise there, so I'm thinking it has to do with retina resolution clashing with 720p or something.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi.
    Try adjusting the screen aspect ratio on the tv. This may sort it fir you.
