MacBook Pro 15'' retina mid-2012 - "ghosting"

Hello, I need your help to solve the following problem.
I have a MacBook Pro 15’’ retina mid-2012, purchased in August 2012, and in the last 6 months I had attended the "ghosting" (aka “burn in”) phenomena on my computer monitor, which is getting worse every day. With just a few minutes of high-contrast image exposure, followed by a gray background light, we can clearly see the persistence of previous image on the monitor.
At the beginning I never saw this phenomenon as a computer problem, but a fatigue phenomenon in the result of an intense use.
In the last 6 months, we can clearly see that this phenomenon is a serious anomaly in the computer monitor which has been aggravating.
It should be noted that I already have communicated this problem to Apple Portugal after the warranty expired, so they tell me that they can´t/don´t have to do anything about it.
I just wanted to share with you this, because I consider this anomaly a manufacturing defect that already was in the computer, and that this should be repaired by the brand without any extra cost to the client.
This computer is the top of the range brand, so is not supposed to have an anomaly as serious as the one I just registered.
Kind regards,

Run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012)?

I'm looking to run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012). I don't want to use the actual laptop screen in this setup, I just want to use the two external monitors.
My 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012) has the following ports on the side:
FireWire 800 port (up to 800 Mbps)
Two USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps)
Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)
I currently use the Thunderbolt port to one external monitor.
My question is: Is it better to run the second monitor via USB 3, or FireWire (if that's even possible)? What would you recommend?

See -> http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/digital_me/.
Good and simple way to get two monitors from one Thunderbolt port.

I want to upgrade my hard drive from Standard 500 HHD to a SSD on my macbook pro non-retina mid 2012

I have two choices I'm going to install the hard drive internally and I want someone who has an idea about this now money isn't a problem and they are both close to each other. I want to buy one of these two can someone please tell me which is best.

2- http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT480M500SSD1 and http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Crucial/CT480M500SSD/
By the time I do this of me I am also going to have a 16 GB RAM instead of the 4 Gb
Now remember my MacBook Pro 15" non-retina mid 2012 i7 2.3 Hz

First, see my one and only user tip -> Upgrading your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive. It has some tips that may be of help.
Secondly, either of the drives that you've chosen should work well in your MacBook Pro. "Micron" is also the manufacturer of the Crucial SSD. I'm just a bit skeptical about the first because of the unknown nature of the beast... and I doubt that it has the most recent technology built into the Crucial M500 480GB.
You can buy from Crucial or through OWC - I would just pick the one with the cheaper price but I would definitely get the M500 series over the somewhat 'older' (based upon m4 technology, I'm betting) Micron drive.
Good luck... call back should you have any questions.

Storage space Major issue! - MacBook Pro 15" Retina Mid-2012

Hello,
I've had my MacBook Pro Retina for just a little over a year now, and i've just come across an issue that was never present before, when I delete items, the full storage capacity isn't restored. When I delete a 1.29GB movie for example, it gives me only 0.3GB back. This is making me very nervous, any more details you need to assist me in solving i'll be happy to provide if asked to do so in the comments, I'd really like this fixed so I can get back to my work.
Thanks!

You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2012)

My macbook heats up like crazy when i watch youtube - the same with Safari or Firefox, Chrome...
i do not understand this! this is not cheap laptop, it has 4 core i7 processor with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024
it is not slow, but when i open youtube the back of my laptop heats so mutch, that it burns skin if i place hand there and instead of notmal use 5 hours battery, youtube suck it out in 40 - 50 min.
I think this is not normal!
On iPad i can watch youtube all day long and it still cool and battery drain is minimal...

OMG... for sake i doo all the previous things and this heating problem is not only my problem, but lot of users!!!
Try to look VIMEO or YouTube or other video channels in full sreen! Fans speed like crazy, heating the same problem...
Bthw, looking VIMEO in full screen are painfull process... And this problem are only in Mavericks And Mountain lion. Lion operating normally. But best of all is Snow Leopard on alder MacBooks.
this is sad that i cannot install on this Retina Snow Leopard. On other systems i hawe. On girlfriends macBook and on my iMac – all works fine. Bu Mavericks heating up system!
This is standart Apple marketing trick. The same with iOS 7 where you cannot use normally your iPhone4 – it getting superSlow...This is not normal thing in any aspects.
OK, i can every year buy new iPhone and New MacBook Pro! In the same time many people dying without food and medicals... And we are saying that we live in progressive society... No, i have feeling that we live in society where only View selfish companies are groving!
I buy product, i pay for it 2500 USD and i have freedom to speach to protect my interests and my investment and trust in this company. I do not have trust...
And i feel like looser. I can talk anything, but this compony do not listen everybodys needs, whyle CEO speaks, that they listen! No they don't. Read forums arund the network...!

Macbook Pro 15 Retina mid 2012 Operating temperature

Hi everyone, i am looking for some information about Macbook pros temperatures. My mac is getting extremely hot, over 100 degrees C when i work in photoshop for example. When i watch youtube my mac reaches 87 degrees C. With all the apps quit my mac is 56 C hot. Does anyone know if its ok?

Yes. Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider could give an authoritative answer.

The cursor is jumping around on macbook pro with retina(mid-2012)

The cursor is moving around on its own. I have the same problem in safe mode as well. I reset the SMC (system management controller), it seemed to solve the problem at first but it came back again.I run AHT(Apple Hardware test) and it didn't find any issue.
It happened once three months ago, I restarted the system and problem was solved. now it's getting worse. I appreciate your help if you have experienced the same problem before.

it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP. it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels. Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store.

MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012) v MacBook Pro 15 inch (mid 2014) for After Effects and Premiere

Hi everyone,
I'm interested in working with After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 probably creating quite heavily layered files and experimenting with and combining effects. (I also work with Photoshop and Illustrator.)
My workplace allows me to use a 2.5 GHz Intel Dual Core i5 / MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012, non retina) with hard disk and integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB). I understand this Mac can be maxed out at 16GB of RAM. (Official Apple specs I realise say 8GB RAM is the max for this computer but I've looked into this thoroughly and have confirmed that 16GB is in fact possible.)
I'm considering purchasing one of the new Haswell based MacBook Pro (mid 2014) models for myself.
If I do, I'll get the retina 15 inch / Intel Quad Core i7 / 16GB RAM / Intel Iris Pro Graphics / NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M / 1TB Flash Storage.
I realise there is a big difference between these two machines in terms of their specs - the 15 inch with the dedicated GPU will be far more suited to motion graphics work than the lower spec machine with integrated graphics card.
Currently, my understanding is that After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 do not support the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M but from research on the net I believe it's possible to add this video card to the list of supported cards within the respective applications, forcing them to recognise and use it.
Having read about the upcoming Broadwell chip, which I think may be capable of supporting 32GB RAM (possibly coming in Q2 2015 from the various websites I've visited) I wonder if it is worth holding off my purchase, and maxing out my older 13 inch laptop in order to run After Effects and Premiere for the time being.
If I waited for Broadwell based 15 inch MacBooks I think its likely they'll be expandable to 32GB RAM, making the computer a better long term investment.
eg if Adobe increase minimum/recommended memory requirements for their software in the next few years. While I don't know for sure this will happen, it does seem quite likely at some stage. The 2014 15 inch MacBook - while an excellent computer at the moment - could potentially be slightly limited with regard to future Adobe software releases as its max RAM is 16GB.
I realise I could potentially look at a high end iMac if memory is a concern, but I prefer the portability of a laptop so I'm restricting myself to portable options for the moment.
What I'm wondering is -
If I install the 13 inch 2.5GHz i5 laptop with 16GB RAM as is possible, how would it perform when running After Effects and Premiere? It currently has 4GB and it very quickly runs out of memory meaning playback of goes very slowly when previewing complex files in the timeline. This necessitates rendering of small test sections of the timeline to see it at the correct frame rate. Would the move from 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM give me a noticeable improvement in this regard? If so then this is tempting as I don't have to pay for it - I think my workplace will cover the cost of extra RAM. And then I can wait till next year to buy my own high end laptop.
The 15 inch 2.8GHz i7 quad processor has Iris Pro and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT750M with 2GB RAM. I would be paying the full cost myself.
I realise rendering would be faster with this Mac but would I see a noticeable improvement over the maxed out 13 inch laptop when previewing multi layered After Effects and Premiere compositions / sequences within the timeline? I like the idea of being able to preview footage in real time as I'm editing as it saves time and I think it makes the process easier generally.
Any thoughts welcome and thanks very much in advance for your time and advice.
Kind regards,
John

"It currently has 4GB and it very quickly runs out of memory meaning playback of goes very slowly when previewing complex files in the timeline."
"In this case yes, I can most certainly see a performance increase as your machine is still not too old and a RAM increase will help it for sure I just can't tell you by how much.
I own the same machine as yours (except for mine having 2.9ghz and i7, and 8GB of ram) so I think it's safe to say for me that the RAM increase will help you for sure."
That statement of mine answers your question you just asked

Can i get powernap on my Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012 with mountain lion running on it ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Power Nap only works with Macs with flash storage, and it requires a firmware update that it's only supported on a Late 2010 or newer MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with Retina display

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

Duo Displays Problem on MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Resolution 2560x1440 and 1280x800, Sometime 2560x1440 is blank screen and must restart to fixed it

Dear all,
I found some problems for using Duo Displays with MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) display and Samsung UHD Display (U28D590). I use resolution on my macbook is 1280x800, Samsung UHD Display is 2560x1440 And Connect with Display port to mini display port.
But I use sometime found always blank screen on Samsung Display and I tried to unplug mini display port and plug it again but it is not working until I shutdown and restart my macbook pro, my display back to working.
I want to fix this problem because it is very trouble for my working a lot.
Thank you very much
Phot

The symptoms I'm getting now, and I'm not sure if they're any different, suggest that for some reason Mountain Lion thinks my display resolution is higher than what it is, as wether I'm turning AirPlay on or off, it keeps changing it (on the MacBook) to what looks like maybe 1080p.

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
