  • How can i zoom the macbook pro retina camera?

    system preferences has no camera or video config and FaceTime preferences are dimmed for the new retina...  I want to create a video conf call in a conf room and need to zoom out. nothing I can find on the apple site discusses this...  thanks if you can help!
    p.s. tried using a 2-3 year old logitech cam thinking that the options to zoom i see on a PC might be available on the mac, but the camera is not recognized by the Retina.

    You can enter the serial number in the appropriate field on a web site such as this and it will tell you what model it is:

  • Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?

    Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer.  All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive.  Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either.  There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Macbook Pro retina will not turn on

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 13" off Craigslist today.  It will not turn on.  I tried resetting the SMC and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.  It will still not turn on, the battery has been charging for 2 hours already and it's still amber on the magsafe.  It still has warranty coverage until 2014 so my next stop is the apple store.  I thought I could fix it myself but it is pretty tough to narrow down the cause.

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • Can i upgrade my macbook pro retina internal storage

    Hi,
    My macbook pro retina came with 128gb internal storage, but i got a gopro recently and the videos take up loads of storage! Can i upgrade the internal storgae or do i have to get an external hard drive to store it on?
    Thanks

    But you will void your warranty if you still have one.
    An external drive is a good, and cheaper option.

  • ISight won't turn off on MacBook Pro retina

    So I went to turn on my 13" MacBook Pro Retina and the stupid iSight green light is on.  I've done a SMC reset and a PRAM reset.  I've restarted my computer.  I've shut my computer down completely.  I've shut my computer down completely and let it sit for a few minutes.  I've shut down my computer and let it sit overnight before turning it back on.  This light is really annoying and I don't like that it's running on it's own.  No, I don't have any apps that turn on with my computer that use it either.  I've done all the troubleshooting that I can and I've chatted with Apple support.  It's finals week and I don't have time to go to the Genuis Bar to fix this problem.  Can someone please help me turn off this annoying, dumb green light?

    This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d' | cut -c2- | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

    Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

    Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
    You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.

  • I have a MacBook Pro (Retina) and a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC48 video Camera. The Sony only exports video via Firewire, which is not available on the Mac. Is there a firewire to USB or to HDMI adapter?

    tyler57,
    it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

  • Facetime camera settings on Macbook Pro Retina

    Just purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina 13".  FaceTime camera settings do not permit adjusting picture.  The image is terrible.  How can I correct this, or is reliable third party software available for this purpose?

  • Bluetooth Macbook Pro Retina Won't Respond or Turn Off

    I have a wireless trackpad paired to my Macbook Pro Retina via bluetooth. This has been working fine for a fair few weeks up until the last few days when the trackpad stops working and starts searching for bluetooth, but my bluetooth says it's on. I try to turn off the bluetooth on the Macbook and it will not turn off. It just freezes and stays "on" but not working. In addition, every time I try to access the bluetooth settings, everything on the setting page works except for the "turn bluetooth off" button.
    The only "fix" I have found so far is to restart my computer which is a huge hassle. Anyone else with this problem or know how to fix it?

    A couple of things to try,
    SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    NVRAM/PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    You may have to reset some of your prefences after this, including the BT set up, as this "flushes" out the set up which may have become corrupted somehow.
    If no joy post back, there are a few other things to check.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 15" Auto Power Off

    Hi,
    I have "auto power off" issue with my newly bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    This problem is very annoying, my MacBook Pro just auto power off, where I check the battery is 100% fully charged.
    The first encountered was about a month ago, the night I cannot turn on my MacBook Pro at all, the next day I sent it back to Apple Service Centre. The technician open up the bottom part, reset the battery by removing the battery cable, plug it back. Then turn on and perform some diagnosis test.
    It was working fine for about 2 weeks, and now the "auto power off" happen everyday.
    I have repartition my SSD drive to 2 partitions using BootCamp and installed with Windows 7 x64.
    At first, this problem happen when I boot into Windows 7 with BootCamp, at first, I thought this problem is due to Windows Drivers, and I have no choice but purchase Parallels Desktop, to run my Windows with OSX 10.8.2. After the Parallels installed, I upgrade my second partition to run Windows 7 concurrently with OSX, it was running fine on the first day! And I thought it has solve my problems, unfortunately the next day, this problems occurs again.
    I suspect this is due to hardward failure, something to do with the battery. Looks like the drivers is telling the Operating System, battery is 0%, and it just turn off itself.
    Anyone experience this? Please share your experience or advice what should I do next?
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hey Dave. Yes yes yes! Try reading through the thread below. Especially at the end. It has to do with an 'autopoweroff' setting that appears to be new and annoying.
    When plugged in, goes from sleep to hibernate after 4 hours of sleep (or 14,400 seconds).
    Very easy to turn off.
    This after many hours of research and discussion with no help from the folks at Apple.
    Basically, to query the settings (enter this from Terminal):
    pmset -g | grep autopoweroff
    You'll see the autopoweroff set to '1' and autopoweroffdelay set to 14400.
    To actually turn that 'feature' off:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    (then enter your Mac password)
    Now it will just sleep when plugged in and not go into hibernate.
    You can also tell the Mac how long before it powers off via the autopoweroffdelay setting (if you like this silly feature), but I just turned the sucker off.
    Here is the thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20819713?ac_cid=tw123456#20819713
    Hopefully, that's the same problem you have, and it will quickly fix it.

  • 13" MacBook Pro Retina back cover won't come off?

    I purchased this MacBook Pro Retina on eBay. When I got it, I noticed a screw in the lower left corner is sticking out. So I went online and bought a screwdriver to tighten it up. When I got the screwdriver instead of just tightening the screw down I decided to unscrew all the screws and check out how the inside of the laptop looks. Well after I unscrew all the screws, the cover will not come off. It comes loose on the top where the hinges are but something is holding it down on the bottom? Also this laptop is 8 months old and it only has 19 battery cycles? Maybe the seller replace the battery and they messed something up? What should I do?

    Hi joshmorris31, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    I know startup issues can be both frustrating and concerning. In this situation I would suggest the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to help you isolate and resolve the issue. 
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    Cheers,
