MacBook Pro 13 with retina or without retina ?

HYe guys. Was planning to buy a apple laptop. This is my 1st MacBook Pro. So I'm confuse should i get macbook pro with retina or without retina ? I'm studying it. So for now i use for office work. Excel. Word. in feature. I might be using heavy program like Adobe. Photo shop. So which one should i get ? I was planning to get MacBook Pro without retina because i can upgrade the ram n hard disk in feature. Please i need advise from you guys. Can MacBook Pro without retina after few year i can use heavy apps ? And can MacBook Air use a heavy apps ?

I think you shouldn't get macbook pro or retina or even air. The heavy editing is consider you to get bulk windows laptop with more ram, better cpu and dedicated graphics when it comes to your video editing. If you want mac computer, why not get New Mac pro 2014 (Dustbin shape) or get yourself build your own custom pc. Money wise. You need to know more about IT things, You can't fool yourself when you step in apple store because everytime I visit to apple store, all the staffs definitely don't know **** about IT and they talk nonsense and push us to buy. Act real smart.

Pink color cast on macbook pro 15" with retina display

Hi,
I just got my very first apple computer a few weeks ago, but I had a annoying pink color cast of the display.
I changed my first deivce but even the 2nd had the same issue..
I noticed, that even the Apple logo shines in a pink cast, so it seems to be an issue of the display light itself.
Trying to calibrate the display with a spyder did not work, i got a very strange green color cast what seems to be clear, if the main problem is not the display itself,
but the display light.
I went to the Apple Sore in Hamburg and I found out, that all new macbook pros 15" with retina display had the same issue, but not older macbooks or some macbook pro 15" with retina display from clients.
As a photographer, I find this pink cast very annoying and I gave back my 2nd macbook pro 15" with retina display..
Is there a way, to get a macbook pro 15" with retina display without a pink cast, where the Apple logo shines in pure white instead of a pink color cast?
I don´t want a pink apple logo, nor a display with a pink cast..

WOW 0_o
Go back and get another one.. They will certainly try and make your day better by offering free items, try to get Apple Care free.
In all my time as being a technician I am going to have to put you on a list I have prestigiously placed for situations like these.
List of multiple repeat post-replaced failures.
Basically.. It's a list of all the people that have had to get a computer / part replaced and received the same issue again after the replacement.
HERE IT IS:
3x Logic board replacement (Warranty). I had to replace three logic boards for this one poor sod that had the same issue over and over again. In the end Apple gave him a whole new computer.
"" Same as above but happened to my friend the other day ""

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

New Macbook Pro 15' with Retina Display Keeps Freezing Completely

Last week I got a Late 2013 Macbook Pro 15' with Retina Display (currently running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1) . However since last Thursday it keeps freezing. It usually happens 2-4 times in a day. The entire computer will freeze completly, I'll be unable to move the cursor with the trackpad and the keyboard freezes up as well. The only way to ameliorate the problem is by shutting down the computer by pressing down on the power button and then turning it back on. When my Mac starts up again it works completely normally. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I recently read that this was happening to some 13' Mac's (until Apple fixed it) however I haven't been able to find information regarding the same problem on a 15' Mac. Thanks in advance!

Mine isn't new model of retina mbp.
Now I'm re-installing 10.9 and I want to try it for some times.
However my mac is out of warranty and if it is a hardware problem there are no solutions for me (logic board change costs $1.000 or so).
After reinstalling 10.9, if I'll not resolve, I want to try to change thermal grease for GPU and CPU...

Looking at Refurb MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display... Which is best for video editing?

Hi all,
I'm looking at replacing my current 2010 MacBook Pro with something newer. I do quite a bit of video editing with Final Cut Pro X and some webdesign in Dreamweaver CS6 or Wordpress on Chrome. I need something that will be able to render the Final Cut videos. I'm looking at the refurb 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with retina display, an i5 and 8GB of ram, OR a 2013 13" with 4GB of ram and the Intel Iris Graphics... Which is better? I've heard really great things about the Intel Iris Graphics, but is having the 8GB of RAM more important?
Thanks for your help!

I would think if you are going to run both of those programs at the same time, or even one at a time, a system with discrete graphic would be a better fit for you.
The next question is if you are doing web design do you really need a retina display. At this time only apple has them so everyother computer viewing your web designs wouldn't see the difference, if there is any to begin with.

MacBook Pro i5 with retina will not recognize WD Passport even though I successfully used it to transfer programs and files from my older MacBook ten days ago. It receives power from the USB, but when using Time Machine I receive the message that there is

MacBook Pro i5 with retina will not recognize WD Passport even though I successfully used it to transfer programs and files from my older MacBook ten days ago. It receives power from the USB, but when using Time Machine I receive the message that there is not an external device connected.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display for Photography work

Hi All,
I'm looking at buying a Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display with the following specs.
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)
I need to use this mainly to edit RAW images as I'm a photographer and will be using this whilst onsite during a photoshoot. I have been advised that due to the graphics card, when using software like Photoshop, the laptop might slow down as it won't be able to handle the large files.
The only one that has a good graphics card is the MacBook Pro 15-inch: 2.5GHz with Retina display - with the following specs.
2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz
16GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB
My issue with this model is the size and most of all the price. it costs 1000 more than the 13". Have any of you had the chance to use photoshop on the 13" version and how did you find it?
Thanks

Go step by step and test.
1. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own"
2.Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
If this does not help, you have to take the computer to the Apple store to
have it checked out.
Best.

Boot up time of MacBook Pro 13" 2.5GHz i5 vs MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display with 2.4GHz i5

Hello
Does anyone know
"the boot up time of MacBook Pro 13" 2.5GHz i5 vs MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display with 2.4GHz i5?"
Thanks

A bit simplifying :
there are two parts in boot process - one-before spinning thing, other - spinning thing to desktop.
First part is hardware inits, you can not speed it up. It is for sure longer for your MBP than for her - its normal, more hardware and it is more sophisticated so longer init.
Second part depends on HD (SSD) speed.
Say so - I have M4 SSD and second part is 1 to 2 spins until login window. Should be more or less same for you.
If it is not so - probably something is not good with filesystem and some config files, most probably due to cloning instead of install. Reboot from recovery, repair drive (first - drive as a whole, second - boot partition), then reboot permissions. reboot two times as normal. see what'll happen with timing.

Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

Hi,
I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
Thank you for your help!

is it normal?
Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)? If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem. I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
But only outside warranty. Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook. Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

My Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display did not come with an "iWorks" app.

As I read the specification of my Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display, my laptop, it states that Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display comes with Pages, Keynotes, and Numbers, app for free along with "iLife" apps. But Apparently my laptop didn't come with "iWork". Is there anyway I can I get it for free, or should I buy it in app store to have it?

Hi Astronap,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iWork applications for Mac including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers. The specific information from the articles I have pulled out for you, but is located in the smaller print toward the bottom of the article.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

MacBook Pro 13 with retina 128GB + 16GB vs 250GB + 8GB

Hi first time post here so bare with me.
I am starting a new course in IT. Web Design advanced IT and software is the main topics of the course and will run 2 years and I'd like the laptop to perform and last that long. I will be buying the new iteration of the MacBook Pro 13 with a retina display.
So my questions is this if anyone can help me, with new software and updates coming out all the time what would be best. Either the configuration of 128GB + 16GB with an added 128GB SDXC card to bring the total storage to 256GB which works out cheaper or the 256GB +8GB. My budget can't really go any higher than the cost of these.
Is 16GB overkill even for future proof or is 8GB and the 256GB more than enough and the better combination.
Thanks and all replies appreciated.

I tend to agree. The rule of thumb is: Always get as much RAM as you can afford. In this case its even more true, since it cannot be updated after purchase.
Any storage space issues can be easily handled by an external drive.
so go for the 128GB + 16Gb RAM. You can always upgrade SSD drive later, fortunately.

MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display corners

Hello,
I own a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I work in a very high glare environment. When I'm working in the office I notice there are weird lines on all 4 corners of the display. Kind of looks like the display glass was not laminated correctly to the display. It's not a a major issue but I thought I might just check with anyone else who owns a MacBook Pro Retina to point their screen corners to high glare e.g. Pointing it outside and checking whether their display also has those weird marks.
Thanks

I just checked another laptop at a retail store. It looks to be common amongst all retina macbook pros including the 13 inch ones. Has anyone else confirmed whether their one has this?

A message to everyone experiencing screen burns on their Macbook Pro's with Retina Display

I went to the apple store to exchange my old mac book pro with retin a display for a new 1 because I had the screen burn problems. After they went over my computer they noticed that I had a logical board problem. You guys might not have the same problem but the way that they figured it out is when they tried to migrate my information because with a thunderbolt port it would've taken 42 hours to transfer my 130 gigabytes of storage. I wanted to make this thread to inform you guys about this problem and maybe get yours check to see if you have it. I'm sorry about this message I didn't have enough time so I did it on my phone speak to text. Leave a reply if you guys have the same problem or have any concerns. thanks.

WisdomTooth asked:
What should I do? has this issue been resolved or should I wait?
Remember that we only hear of the problems here (and, sometimes, the solutions). I doubt if the problems are pandemic or we would be reading a lot more about them at the various Mac websites. Faulty computers are going to come out of the production line, no doubt about it. But most of the problems I've seen posted here for the MBP-R's have been remedied or some will be remedied with the release of Mountain Lion.
Since ML will surely be released in the next couple of weeks, I'd wait and see, for instance, if it addresses some of the video/USB problems that have been reported here. Some with developer seed copies of ML say that it 'fixes' the USB 3.0 problems and some of the video problems (obviously not ghosting, distorted video, etc.).
So I'd just wait a couple of weeks, see if some of the issues are cleared up, then order the Retina display if that's what you want. Every other problem I've read of seemed to have been fixed by replacing the computer, logic board, etc. That's just normal.
Good luck,
Clinton
