MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display connect to Windows share very slowly

Hello all,
I understand this is a well-known issue to OSX but I have tried so many "solution" and none of these worked. So I am wondering if this new thread could bring in some new idea for my troubleshooting.
I have just purchased a MBP 15" Retina Display and I am experiencing this very slow connection issue when accessing files on my other Windows 7 computer.
The Windows 7 computer is connected by wire to my Buffalo G450H Broadband router. And of coz my MBP is connected by wifi.
Tested on the MBP the Internet speed is okay, over 45Mb. However when I am trying to copy file from Windows 7, the speed is 1Mb at most.
Common solution like modify the nsmb.conf, changing sysctl network ack thing from 0-3, or even enable Internet Sharing or change the DNS server, all these tricks doesn't work. I also read a post to install SMBUp to replace the original OSX SMB service, not working.
With all these effort and I am going nowhere, so here I am, just hoping someone could help.
Much appreciated.
Issachar

More detail here:
I am running Windows 7 on both Bootcamp and Pararell Desktop and they do not have such problem.
And since MBP Retina got no ethernet port, it might be wifi problem only but I am not able to identify it.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?

Hi,
I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air
VKB

there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

Are there any little known tweaks I need to make on my Macbook Pro w/ Retina display after installing Windows?

Just bought a 2013 Macbook Pro w/ Retina, SSD hard drive, NVidia card....created a partition and installed Windows 8 with Bootcamp 5 to run my Steam games. My friend was telling me there are minor changes you need to make to the BIOS, don't defragment (or you'll ruin your SSD), and little things like that you have to watch out for. Can anyone tell me if there are minor changes I need to make on my computer to either help it run better, prevent damage, etc.--if so how? Please post links if you have them. Thanks!

You can sometimes find larger capacity Retina 'daughter card' flash storage devices on eBay - but, like the OWC solution, they don't come cheap. So, as you've deduced, your best (yet not overly inexpensive, either) bet is a fast external drive. The fastest external drives would have Thunderbolt connections - I've two of LaCie's 2big Thunderbolt drives (one 4TB and one 8TB) and they're nice and fast, but not cheap.
If I were you, I would head over to MacMall and search for Thunderbolt drives: they come with a variety of option in a variety of storage space.
That's going to be your fastest solution, even if not highly portable.
Good luck,
Clinton

MacBook Pro with Retina Display suddenly became unresponsive. Very clueless.

So I was in safari, no biggy. I load up some youtube video and as i put my finger on the track pad, the cursor doesn't move.
I tap the keys and nothing is happening. I use cmd+q to quit safari and nothing happened.
I look up on my iPhone how to force quit an app and i try it; needless to say nothing happens.
The strange thing is, the video is still playing.
I press the power button and suddenly the screen turns off and nothing i do makes anything happen.
I press the power button again, nothing happens.
i plug in the magsafe and the green/orange light doesn't appear.
I google stuff and press shift+control+option+pwr and then I press the power again. the machine turns on like nothing happened.
What gives? is there something wrong with my mac?
should i have it checked out?

Try resetting the SMC. If the problem happens again, take it in for diagnosis.

My MacBook Pro with Retina display displays power point and not other windows when connected to a projector

My MacBook Pro with Retina display displays power point and not other windows when connected to a projector. Can anyone help out please?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining. I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows. I have heard that the best PC is a Mac. Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7. The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

Installing windows 7 on a macbook pro with retina display

Hi All -
I just purchased a new macbook pro with retina display and I want to install a copy of windows 7 on this machine. I've gone through numersous postings online about the proper way to do this - and I had a few questions as it is a little confusing.
What I have:
15" macbookpro with retina display
External superdrive
Physical copy of windows 7 64 bit
a burned image of the windows 7 disk (as a .CDR file)
Several postings have indicated that I need a flash drive; is this the case if I have the actual disk and the superdrive I can use for reading it?
If not and I do in fact need a flash drive - I have an 8gb with encryption software on it - if I need to make an autoboot for the windows .cdr is there a special way to do this or will the .cdr image work as it is?
I appreciate any help provided.
Thank you
Lenny

Can you install Windows 8.1 Pro using Parallels on a new MacBook Pro without retina display?

I am starting a graduate school program and I would like to purchase a MacBook Pro. The options for the non-retina display fit my needs best, but it sounds like the resolution requirements for Windows 8.1 Pro do not match the MacBook Pro without retina. I need Windows to run a statistics program (SAS) and ArcGIS for mapping. Any thoughts or experience installing Windows 8.1 Pro on MBP without retina?

The native res on my 13-inch non-Retina is 1280x800. You might check with Parallels support or their forums to see if this is a problem.
If you go with the non-Retina 13-inch, I'd recommend getting 8GB RAM (standard is 4GB) because Win emulators need a fair bit of memory.

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one. It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

Is it applicable to run windows 8 on macbook pro, 13" retina display, mid 2014?

I wanna bootcamb windows 8 on a macbook pro 13" retina display mid 2014.
is it possible, specially that my drive is 128 GB only? does windows properly working?

Hi ..
It is, but be aware, Windows 8 requires approximately 16GB's of storage space and you would have to partitition the hard drive.
Strongly recommend reading the entire Boot Camp user guide before proceeding > Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp
You will need to purchase a Windows install disc.
Alternatively, check out VMware as well as Parallels

How to Install Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro with Retina Display Using Boot Camp?

Hello,
I own a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and was wondering how do I install Windows 8.1 without an optical disc drive? I have bought the full version of Windows 8.1 and would like to partition it on my MacBook Pro. Could someone please help me out by posting step-by-step procedure or a video on how to do it? It is my first time partitioning the Windows operating system and would like to clarify with the community on this before I install it.
Thanks in advance for those who have helped!

Windows 8.1 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. The best way currently to install Windows 8.1 is to use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Installation instructions are on the Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox site.

How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?

Hi - How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?
I am pretty new to the apple world. Tried doing it through bootcamp but did not success.

OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

How to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

Windows XP on macbook pro with retina display?

I am going to be helping a client with putting Windows XP on a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display later this week.
This client has two programs that are XP-specific, and MUST be run by booting XP fully and not virtually with Parallels or other options.
So we are going to be using bootcamp.
We have the XP install disc, and an external USB CD/DVD drive from Apple.
I've found postings online about people installing more recent flavors of Windows (Vista, 7, etc) on these machines
but I haven't found anything about Windows XP on the MBPro with retina display.
Anyone have any tips to share?
This should still be possible and not a big problem, right?
Yes, I know the resolution will likely be the biggest issue, but it should still install and run, yes?
Thank you for any helpful info anyone can provide.

First off there are no programs that are XP specific and no programs, that I know of or ever heard of, that can not run in XP in a virtual machine.
Most all programs that will run on XP will run on Win 7, unless they are older programs. Those older program that will run on XP and not on Vista or 7 will also run on Win 2000 or 98SE. So as stated before I don't know of any programs that will only run on XP and no other operating system.
A Virtual Machine is Just That, IE a set of Virtual hardware. The Operating system has No Idea it is running in a Virtual Machine on top of a Host operating system. They are completely separate except for the VM using some of the physical hadware in the host computer. Like the USB ports, the network interfaces and the CD/DVD drive. And the VM software is made to allow those devices to look like they are part of a Physical computer the VM OS is running on.
So I have not idea what these programs could be that would not run on/in a Virtual Machine with XP Installed.
Please let me know for future reference.
So your options are.
1) Install a Virtual Machine software program. VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtualbox. Then install Win XP into a Virtual Machine.
2) Buy and older Windows computer that will run XP natively. It doesn't need to be that old, 3-4 years old will do as most all major PC manufacturers have XP drivers for their 3-4 year old computers and most if not all hardware manufacturers, Vid cards, Ethernet & WiFi cards, still list drivers for XP.
