MacBook Pro Retina 15 using DELL U2713H Issue

Hi, I just bought a DELL U2713H display. When I connect it to my Macbook Pro Retina 15 using 2560 * 1440 resolution, it displays like 1920 * 1080. Not clear extually, it is fuzzy. And when I scroll in Mac mail, it blinks.
Here are what I got:
1. I am using a mini display port to display port cable (from the monitor), to connect to the monitor. Mini-display port plug to laptop, display port plug to monitor.
2. I set the U2713H display to 2560 * 1440 already.
3. I set the monitor to enable display port 1.2 (If I disable it, it also not works).
What I have tested:
1. I bought an U2713HM before at home, it works fine with same setting on my macbook pro. Only the cable was bought from ebay (Also mini-display port to display port cable).
2. I test the new U2713H on my windows laptops, it also works fine with same cable (from monitor).
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Bene

you are used a cheap cable from ebay...try this one it works!

2 monitors on MacBook Pro (Retina) using Thunderbolt and HDMI ports?

I would like to buy a MacBook Pro with a Retina display. I want to attach 2 external monitors and Ethernet. I need to use one Thunderbolt port to attach to my (wired) ethernet.
Can I attach 2 monitors to a MacBook Pro (Retina) using
1) a mini display port to DVI adapter
2) a HDMI to DVI adapter?

Yes, it is possible to run 3 monitors at once on the Retina MacBook Pro (2 connected over Thunderbolt and one over HDMI).
Displays used in picture below:
Retina on laptop @ “best for Retina”
iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt
iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt/DisplayPort
LG monitor @ 1920 x 1200 via HDMI
Hope this answers your question.

Macbook Pro Retina - Use a wireless keyboard

Silly question, but I need the answer. Can the Macbook Pro Retina use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and then doc to a monitor via Thunderbolt? My idea is just like you would dock a pc, so to speak. I assume the answer to be yes, but need confirmation.
Thanks!

Yes. You can use an external keyboard and monitor and even close the MBpro lid to operate in clamshell mode.
Here are the rules for clamshell mode:

Can't connect Macbook Pro Retina to Dell P2715q 4k Monitor

I received a new Dell 4k P2715q monitor on Friday. It came with a mini DP to DP cable which I immediately hooked into the Thunderbolt port on my 15-inch, Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina. It worked beautifully on Friday all through the day. Was very happy with my purchase.
Took the laptop home over the weekend and brought it back today.... plugged into my thunderbolt port again and nothing.... Go HDMI to the monitor's HDMI and it works but only up to 1080p in 30hz which is no good. So the monitor still seems to be working but the Macbook won't recognize the monitor through the Thunderbolt (mini DP) port.
Any thoughts? Talked to Dell support which was worthless except to verify that the monitor didn't get fried over the weekend and also talked to Apple who suspected that it was maybe the mini DP cord that Dell sent with the monitor. I can't believe that a cable went faulty over a weekend when no one else was in my office.....
Thoughts? Thanks ahead of time!

Macbook Pro Retina 15" Flash playback issues

Hi,
I recently upgraded from my iMac to a 15" Macbook Pro Retina and although I am overall happy with the decision I am having problems with online video playback using Adobe Flash Player.
The videos jitter and stutter at intervals throughout watching and run playback performance.
I have looked into this issue heavily, putting it down to a hardware fault initially. However all of my tests have brought me back to the utilisation of flash player and my GPU.
Tests I have run.
I have tried the flash player in Safari, Firefox and Chrome (disabling pepper and using just the flash player downloaded)
I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled
I have reset my Mac's SMC and PRAM to ensure that there are not hardware errors
I have changed the GPU swapping on my computer to not use the lighter graphics card and instead make full use of the 1GB Nvidia graphics card
My computer is running the most up to date of all aspects associated with the errors
I have changed the settings of flash player to use and not use hardware acceleration
I haven't seen any other problems on my mac with playback - which is why is leads me to believe that this problem is more aimed at flash player on my system, than the actual system itself.
Has anyone else had these problems on a similar machine? If so are there any fixes? Or am I just going to have to hang fire for bug fixes?
The spec of my computer can be found at this link - as Macbooks can't be changed its literally as spec-ed on this page!

Any input would be appreciated

No they do not. In fact just the opposite. Some with LG displays and ghosting have been told by Apple it is normal and all screens do it. When in fact they do not.
Buy Applecare extended warranty. Otherwise when your 1 year standard warranty runs out and you have any problems with that retina you might as well throw it away. The cost to fix that unit, should a problem of any type become apparent, will be close to buying a new unit. All the parts are either soldered to the logic, Mother, board or glued into the aluminum case parts. The few parts that aren't are the logic board itself, the WiFi/Bluetooth daughter card, the fans & heatsink system and the proprietary SSD that plugs into a socket on the logic board.
The screen is glued into the case lid and can not be changed without replacing the complete lid along with the WiFi/BT antennas, the web cam and of course the aluminum shell.

MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 Compatibility issue with Bose Companion 5 USB Speakers on Mavericks

Hi, I wonder if somebody has compatibility issues of new MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) and Bose Companion 5 USB speakers? They work fine on a left USB port on my MacBook Pro, but doesn't work at all on a right one: USB speakers are not recognised or if recognised as "Uknown Audio Device", they doesn't work any way and iTunes stops playing till I take USB cable out.
I tested them already on two identical machines - the same issue: left USB port works fine, right one - not.
While comparing, I tested this audio device also with other MacBooks:
MacBook Pro 15" 2008 (Mavericks) - both USB ports work fine
MacBook 13" 2010 (Mountain Lion) - both USB ports work fine
MacBook Pro 13" Retina early 2013 (Mavericks) - both USB ports work fine
So it is somehow related exactly to the MacBook Pro Retina 15" Retina late 2013 with Maverics. I guess some sound card and USB port communication issue. Does any body exeriences such problems as well?

Hi,
Im having USB problems with storage devices and android phone connections
Thanks

MacBook Pro Retina 15" : LG display issues. Some help??

I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 "mounting an LG Display. Currently it seems to work perfectly and shows no lack of ghosting of the image. But if from there to a year I'll have problems will Apple recognize them and would provide the repair warranty?
I mean, does Apple recognize the ghosting problem with LG displays?
Thank you for helping me!

No they do not. In fact just the opposite. Some with LG displays and ghosting have been told by Apple it is normal and all screens do it. When in fact they do not.

Macbook Pro Retina, Photoshop CC, resizing issue

Just a basic question, got the latest Macbook Pro this summer, and everything seems to go fine. I downloaded the trial version of CC the other day, just to try it out.
However, I'm about to resize a couple of images for my blog, 900x600 is what I usually use, and well the images turn out really small in Photoshop, but I think whatever, maybe it's just the application. Then I try to open it up and it's displayed at 900x600 but it's really pixelated. So I try to upload it to the website, same issue. I also tried saving the image in twice the size, 1800x1200 - same problem though. It looks "normal" in Photoshop, but when I upload it to the blog it's really pixelated and blurry. So... any solution?
Also, I have a couple of images that I edited on my old laptop without Retina display, and they seem fine. I tried saving them and opening them up in Photoshop aswell - looks just fine. No pixels, nothing. Is there any way to have Photoshop appear and edit the images the same way it did when I wasn't using a Retina display?
Cheers

You are not the only one. I have the same issue. I am just wondering how to save it to get normal image??

Macbook Pro Retina BOOTCAMP & StarCraft 2 Issues

I am using a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 13-inch (256GB, late 2014).
1. I run StarCraft 2 on Mac OS. The fan speed gets really high whenever I do so. I do know that this is a heavy task (so I don't really thing there are any problems here), but just out of curiosity, I would like to know how your devices do when running SCII.
2. a) When I'm running Windows 8.1 on BOOTCAMP, the temperature and the fan speed gets notably high even for a very light task like typing a document on MS Word (2013) or even when it's idle.
b) StarCraft 2 runs without problems on OS X, but whenever I try to run it on BOOTCAMP, the screen just blacks out. Since I can't do anything esle, I just force reboot with my power button. Then the next time I try to boot on Windows 8.1, it will give me a system error and ask to do a recovery (which it'll fail to when I let it do so). The error usually repeats for 3-5 times of trials before Windows will start booting and working noramlly.
Question 1 is just out of curoisity (so I'm not dying for an answer here), but the issues I'm having in question 2 seems to be a problem. Are these issues just limited to my computer, or is this just due to the poor optimization of BOOTCAMP and applies to everyone else? I would like to know.

MacBook Pro Retina showing spinning ball issues even after Main Logic Board Replacement

HI there!
I'm a proud owner of Macbook Pro, 15 inch, late 2013 model. It has 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor; 16 GB Ram, 1 TB PCIe based SSD. The software version is OS X 10.9.4. I have AppleCare.
1. MY mac developed rainbow beach ball issues. Sometimes it'll last for ages. I took several videos of them. I spent hours chatting with online Apple advisors. They did everything they could possibly do: Repair Disk, Repair Disk Permissions, SMC reset, PRAM reset. When nothing worked, I did clean-install the Mac six or seven times. Every time other apps would randomly cause the spinning ball issues. My Mac even restarted all on a sudden because of kernel panic. So at last, I took it to an Apple Store which is a one-mile drive from London. They diagnosed it as a graphics issues and replaced the Main Logic Board and put it to standard testing which revealed no other anomalies. After the repair, I noticed that dock icons remain present for a dew seconds when I restart or shut down the computer. So this time I took it to a London Apple Retail Store. The Genius at first diagnosed it as a display burn-in issues and sent it to be replaced with a new one. However, next day the technician who actually worked on the computer, phoned me saying that they could not reproduce any issues and did not replace the display either. I went to take my Mac back and discovered that the dock icons stuff still persist when restarting or shutting down the Mac. When I drew their attention, they told me that it was a software issue that Apple is aware of. Apple might resolve the issues in the future updates. Well, after getting back to my hotel room, I clean-installed my OS from USB and the dock icon issues were gone. Same version of software, but different behavior.
2. But that's not the reason I'm here. My Mac has again begun to show the rainbow beach ball one day after the repair, when I try to connect to my Airport Time Capsule through Finder in order to selectively transfer files to my Mac. This time the spinning ball would last for a very short time. But if I want, I can regularly reproduce them. I've also noticed this when installing MS Office for Mac 2011 edition. I'm sure I'll get the nasty ball as I use the Mac more and more.
3. I've got some questions: Can it be that during the MLB replacement, some other connectors got harmed? Or the issues are not specific to graphics only? Why didn't Apple find any anomalies during testing? I'll go to Apple Retail Store again, when I get the chance to. Once there, can I ask them for a full replacement of the Mac? Shall they take my request otherwise? I really don't feel comfortable using a shouldered computer which is going to go through many parts replacements.
4. I sincerely need your feedback. Please help me guys out there.

Applecare was no help at all. I called and did the complaint. They confirmed that it is registered to me and everything but essetially told me that they cant give me answers as to what is taking so long. They knew a repair was in progress but wanted to set me up with an appointment at an apple store? (the nearest Apple retail store is Billings which is 240 miles away, or about 4 hours). i tell them its at the repair place and they go on to tell me they can send me a box to mail it in and have it reapir by them.. They are trying to shift the blame to the AASP and his rep. But he said he has been trying with very few answers from Apple as well

Do Mac Mini and Macbook Pro Retina use the exact same i7 processor?

If not why do I get the exact same info from both computers:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Isn't it strange that they are using a mobile CPU in a desktop computer?

One way to tel is the the specs for the laptop
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Says it has
Intel Iris Graphics
While the specs for the Mac Mini
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP659
Say it has
Intel HD Graphics 4000
The graphis for both are integrated with the CPU chip
Also, the wifi's for the Mini and laptops provide more detail inof

MacBook Pro Retina with Thunderbolt Display Issues

I have issues when connecting my MacBook Pro to the Thunderbolt Display when I don't do a fresh boot of the MacBook Pro. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, the Thunderbolt Display usually turns on succesfully, but none of my USB devices (mouse, keyboard) respond and when I try to disconnect the Thunderbolt, the MacBook doesn't realize it's been disconnected and thus I'm just left with the background screen and have to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds.
With a fresh boot, everything works fine. Are you supposed to have to shut down and restart everytime you hook up this monitor? Has anyone had these issues?

I have the exact same issue. I hauled the TB Display into the Apple Store 3 times and finally they replaced it. Come to find out this new one has the same issue still. So It has to be rMBP related at this point. Unfortunately I don't think I have it under warranty still and the issue is hard to demonstrate. I recorded videos of it but every time I go into the store and plug it is the same as switching the speakers from internal to external and it takes 30-60 mins before it degrates to scratching sounds.
Please let me know if you ever foudn a solution. Im going to try to keep taking it in until I can get this resolved.

Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 Display Issue (w/ Picture)

Hi!
Last night while updating my macbook I noticed an strange problem. It seems like 1/3 of my screen has the retina display while the remaining screen has a weird transparent tint covering the screen. If I take a screen shot using my macbook, there is no noticeable problem. However, the picture I took earlier today using my
iPhone 5 can give you a picture of my current problem. I also had a bit of "ghosting image" even after shutting down the computer and rebooting. I took the machine to Apple today and they said since I am in my 13th month, I am out of luck. They told me that I need to get my whole screen replace ($280). I am really disappointed because I barely had this machine and took great care of it. Has anyone have this problem?

With the initial LG Retina display, folks were seeing image retention. Thereafter it seems that Apple was replacing the screen with Samsung screens, which exhibited a yellow-ish tint. There haven't been many complaints of image retention or tinting on the Late 2013 models even though the screens may be LG or Samsung. It looks as if Apple finally got it just right.
However, as I understand it, Apple is still using the older screens for replacement parts. The only thing that I can advise is to keep having the screen replaced until you get one that you can live with. The tinting in your photo is obvious and I know of no way to 'calibrate' a warm screen to get an acceptable white point.
Good luck,
Clinton

New Macbook Pro retina boot camp install issue - Windows 7

Trying to complete a boot camp install but can't get past creating a partition. I am able to download the windows drivers through boot camp, it burns them to a DVD, verifies the DVD (couldn't use CD-R as it kept saying burn failure after verifying files) and then takes me to the make a partition page. When i click install the partition, it pops up saying "can't find the installer disc" and wants me to put one in the super drive. What gives? I have that disc in the drive, also tried the Windows 7 disc and got the same error. So basically I can't create a partition to install windows 7 that I have.
Any thoughts?

The disk was from my other PC system, however it is an OEM upgrade disc. Maybe that is the problem but if that is the case why did it work when I installed it through VMware and it worked fine? The disc can be used as a self full install of windows 7. I have also it on another PC with no issues. Trying to convert to Mac finally but this is causing a hiccup.
The next question then is do I really need to go the boot camp way? I only need it to run quickbooks (need windows version for reasons) and a couple of other programs but thought it may run better as a boot camp install rather than VM plus I couldn't figure out how to reduce the size of the partition that VM installs, it takes too much space from me for no reason (60Gb).
Thanks for any input.
