Macbook pro 2014 with ASUS PB287Q and SAMSUNG U28D590D

Hi
I was wondering if my new macbook pro 15" 2014
2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB Flash Storage
Intel Iris Pro Graphics+Nvidia GT750m 2GB
will work with the ASUS PB287Q 4K or the samsung U28D590D?
I read that if u connect it with HDMI you only get 30Hz, is there a way to get 60Hz with the macbook pro?
They both have a displayport port.
Thanks

I just hooked up my ASUS pb287q and downloaded SwitchResX.  It took some playing around but now I'm getting near perfect retina (2x) resolution.  First choose "Scaled" under the 'display' tab then switch over to SwitchResX and go to the  'current resolution' scroll down to the bottom and select 1280x720, 60hz (HiDPI).  This will give you the retina quality.  It's really big but remember it's twice the resolution of 1280x720. 
If it's too big for you, you can play around the other resolutions, but this is the setting I would recommend.
I tested this in Adobe Photoshop CS (uses retina standard) and opened a document that was 2572x5760, it fit perfectly at 100% zoom.
I'm using a displayport 1.2 and a HDMI 1.4 4k cable.  links provided below.

  • Late Macbook Pro 13 with Asus PB287Q (4K Monitor)

    Hi,
    I just bought the 4K Asus Monitor PB287Q and I can't get it to work via Display-Port at all!!!
    Is there anything I'm missing? I've bought a cheap mini-DisplayPort to Display Port cable and hook that up to the
    Thunderbolt ports (I've already tried both ports, as well as switching the monitor to DisplayPort 1,2 mode) *nothing*
    The monitor works fine and gets detected immediately through HDMI.
    I only want to use it with a resolution of 1920x1080 @ 60HZ but can only get 30HZ through HDMI?
    The Macbook Pro just doesn't find the monitor through DisplayPort?
    Any suggestions?
    My OS-X is 10.9.5
    thanks a lot!
    ps. it could also be a faulty cable I guess?

    Assuming the monitor is set to display port input, be sure your cable supports Displayport Stream v1.2.  This is needed to run 4K @ 60Hz.  However, most cheap cables only support v1.1 which will limit you at 30Hz.
    Also be sure to connect the cable to the laptops display port not through an attached Thunderbolt display.
    I have the same monitor and it took a while to research the correct configuration to get it to work.  I can get the monitor to recognize the laptop up to resolution of 4K @ 30Hz but not 60Hz.  It should work with these settings so trying my fourth cable to see if I can get the 4K @ 60Hz configuration.
    I hope this helps.

    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

  • Macbook Pro Freezes with Screen Distortion and other problems...

    So I've had my 13' Macbook Pro for about 9 months and I am encountering problems with it. My Macbook would sometimes freeze at random and the screen would distort as well, also, the screen would react whenever I would move the laptop around by either reverting back to a normal screen (still frozen) or more distortion which leads me to believe that it might have something to do with the hardware. But all this is temporarily solved when I force shut off my laptop (hold the power button for 3 seconds) and restart it. It can start up again with no problem, but this happens again, more early than usual and becomes more consatnt. However this is lessened whenever I don't use my laptop for an extended amount of time, but it does happens again whenever I do use it for some time.
    Another problem I've been encountering is that, at times after I force shut off the laptop, my computer would not turn back on. Instead, the laptop beeps 3 times, pause, then beep 3 times again. I have looked into this and discovered that this means that I have "No Good Banks"..........I have no idea what this means but I guess it means that I might have faulty RAM.
    What I ask is that if anyone has had similar problems and if they know what to do or what exactly what the problem is so that I might be able to do something about it.
    Info about Macbook:
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

    Bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?
    I "shut it off" last night, but when I turned it on again tomorrow, it turned out it didn't quite shut down?
    It booted to the grey log-in screen, basically.
    I've also come to the realisation that my charger isn't registered (the LED isn't orange/green like it usually is), and I can't get a "battery status" (I'm sure it has another name, I just don't know what it is) when I click on the little button on the left hand side of the laptop. Usually, it would show green dots/LEDS to tell me how far along it's charged, but now I get nothing.
    I get the distinct feeling something's up with my battery, and maybe my RAM (because of the repeated triple beep after shutting down last night).

  • MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
    I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
    Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
    I appreciate your responses and help.
    By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

    Kappy wrote:
    Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Hi Kappy,
    Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
    As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

  • Macbook pro dock - with ext hd and ext dvd burner and cooling fans needed??

    why doesn't anybody make these? I could have a 1 terabyte HD, dvd burner and cooling fans to keep the macbook pro cool enough to touch while playing wow, or editing video. It could also be made of aluminum and look great. Oh and it has to be configurable to allow use of any 15" macbook pro(ie, bookends units are different because new models include firewire 800)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have iStatPro? You can download it from the Apple site and see what it is that is running so hot. Under the low usage you describe, the fans should be idling silently. And you might be able to tell what is getting so hot.
    If Activity Monitor doesn't show anything, then you might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It sounds like something is getting very hot. If there is a hardware problem, then you should get one or more error codes. The Apple Hardware Test is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that came with your Mac--you boot to it by holding down "D". Instructions are on the disc and on the screen.
    Also, be sure you have "All Processes" selected on the Activity Monitor. And the boxes at the bottom should be mostly black with very little red or green at 3.5% CPU usage. Given all the symptoms, I am surprised that there is not some process running amok in the background.
    Good luck!

  • Energy usage (watt) of MacBook Pro 2010 with 8GB Ram and i7

    I think of buying a MacBook Pro with 8GB, i7
    (and SSD, but that's not important because it consumes less than HDD)
    What is the energy consumption (in Watt) in idle state with display on under
    1) OSX
    2) Win7 (I need this for my job)

    Well, I need a computer professionally. At least now.
    But I want to keep my environments impact at a minimum.
    So I need precise data to evaluate what I do:
    money is one thing, because it's usually very finite,
    but even more important is recyclability, energy, ...:
    10 Watts difference (e.g. for 8GB instead of 4GB?)
    will yield, over mac lifetime of say 10 years (the laptop
    im am currently typing on is 8+ years old, but is slowly
    going towards being obsolete, even with ISA SSD upgrade):
    10 h/d * 365 d/y * 10 W * 10 y = 365000 Wh = 365kWh.
    I try to save energy, so this is approx my direct energy usage
    of 1 year (I have no car, do not fly, have no refrigerator,
    do not heat my appartement above 10 deg Celcius, ...
    but strangely I have a computer and I am a programmer ...).
    For me, it's important. It is relevant for my decisions:
    5 Watts? I will be tempted by 8GB. 10 Watts? I don't know.
    (I do setup work, so I use VMs a lot, so I need quite some
    memory for that ...).

  • New MacBook Pro appearing with Iphoto, Imovie and Iweb all 2008 versions

    I bought a MacBook Pro in March 2013 (new from best buy) and it's running os x 10.8.4. However, for some reason the Iphoto, Imovie and Iweb are all 2008 versions. I used an external hard drive to transfer from my old macbook to the new macbook. What went wrong? Why wasn't the new version of Iphoto, Imovie and Iweb on my computer?
    Should I back up onto my external again and reinstall? I had a lot of trouble transfering the data over in the first place because some security software from my school was messing with the transfer, however once it was deleted everything went smoothly. Thoughts?

    You migrated your files from an older computer. If you migrated apps, iLife applications were transferred, so you have an old iLife edition.
    The only thing you have to do is to open Finder, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete iLife apps. Then, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download iLife applications free of charge. All Macs come with iLife applications free of charge

  • My Macbook Pro 2014 ran out of battery while mid-slideshow. Now the slideshow won't skip through photos and I can't figure out why? Macbook Pro 2014 13-inch Intel i5 8GB RAM 128GB flash, iPhoto library is on external HDD

    Macbook Pro 2014
    13-inch
    Intel i5
    8GB RAM
    128GB flash SSD,
    Integrated Graphics
    iPhoto library is on external HDD
    I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
    I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
    This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
    I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
    I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
    Many Thanks,
    James

    Make a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
    To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
    If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow.  Does it play?
    If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document:  Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):   
    This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
    Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
    Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
    See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
    See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
    Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
    Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in with the new account you created.
    Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
    After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in as your regular account.
    After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
    Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
    If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back.

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

    I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

    To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
    Open a new Finder Window
    Click "Go" in the above status bar
    Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
    Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
    Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
    Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
    Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
    Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
    Drag the files to the trash
    Delete the trash
    Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
    Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
    This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
    Good Luck.
