MAC BOOK PRO MID 2012 RETINA DISPLAY WONT BOOT

My mac book pro wont  boot.  It shows the apple logo then it turns itself off.
Please help

If you call AppleCare, they will probably lead you through an SMC reset, so do that first. If it does not help then call them; it's under warranty.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
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.

  • Why is my mac book pro mid 2012 display green flickering screen?

    Why is my mac book pro mid 2012 displays green flickering screen? I was able to return the screen  back to normal after i turn the lid up and down.
    Is this a hardware issue ? should i return to applestore since the warranty still valid?

    It seems like your display is damaged. As your computer is in warranty, take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the display replaced for free, as it's in warranty

  • I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere, except for the wuick start manual. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

    I bought a mac book pro 15" with retina display yesterday and could not find the user's guide/manual anywhere. I couldn't even find it in apple's web site. Where is it?

    here it is :   http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro-13-inch-late-2012-quick_start.pd f
    Apples dont come with say, a big manual like old things used to.  Basically its a just a quick reference guide, everything on specifics is online

  • Running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?

    I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?  There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now.  Thoughts? Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

  • I had brought the Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display in nov. 2013 in USA. I lost my luggage in the flight transit at Paris CDG. Now I can't install windows 8.1 which I brought from same store frys at LA, USA. Pl. help. Thanks gyanesh

    Dear friends
    I had brought this Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display and windows 8.1 and then I left to India my home place for vacation now my problem is during flight transit at Paris CDG. For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
    Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
    Thanks in advance.  Sb sob sob
    Pl. help. Thanks

    Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
    Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
    You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds.

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features
    Also, this is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum

  • Are there any apple stickers for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy them

    Are there any apple stickers e.g the bart simpson on the computer eating the apple for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy one

    I'm not sure where on the internet or which store you mean -- but if you mean an Apple advertisement on the internet and an Apple Store, note that there was an ad for MacBooks that showed them with a variety of stickers but Apple does't sell the stickers and not all of the ones shown in the ad were commercially available.

  • Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info?

    Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info? I certainly dont want it to be reseted by apple with my info from work, thank you very much for further response.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • 16GB RAM Upgrade for MAC Book Pro mid 2012 15inch

    Does anyone know if there is any chance to upgrade a mid 2012 15-inch Mac Book Pro to 16GB RAM?
    This document states 8GB RAM as the top config for such a model: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270#link2
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, if you've the non-Retina 2012 MacBook Pro you can upgrade to 16GB of RAM using  204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs available widely, but particularly good for picky Macs, Crucial or OWC.
    Good luck,

  • Will i be able to run windows 7 on mac book pro 15inch with retina display?

    In addition to installing Windows in Boot Camp so that it will run instead of Mac OS X, you can also install Windows as a Virtual Machine so that Windows and the Mac OS can run at the same time. To use a Virtual Machine, you'd need software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box.
    Note, however, that you may have some difficulty finding Windows 7 for sale. You may be stuck with Windows 8.1.

  • Mac Book Pro mid 2012 screen colours turned red and purple (similar to rainbow colour)

    When I turned on my MacBook earlier, which was in sleep mode for all night, all the colours turned red and purple. The screen pixels were all a kind of red but the computer was working as usual. I turned it off and then back on and the screen was ok. Then I turned it off again for about 6 hours and now the colours are ok. Does anyone know what might be the problem? I am running on a MacBook Pro 13'' Mid 2012 (OS X Maverics) and it is the first time it's done anything like this. I read on Apple Support that maybe the CPU is failing, but when i run the System Diagnostics Test I think it turned out ok. I appreciate all answers.
