MacBook Pro Retina Display - Keyboard Marking Screen

Hello,
The keyboard on my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is leaving marks on the screen.  They wash off with a damp soft cloth.  Any suggestions to stop the problem.
Thanks
Joe

In my opinion this is a defect in your MacBook Pro.  The tolerances are extremely tight.  The keys should not come into contact with your screen whatsoever.   I would call Apple tech support to see if it warrants a replacement if you want.  I even had a retina MacBook Pro for a couple weeks (before I returned it because of image retention issue in LG display) and there was never any key marks on the screen.  If you have a Samsung display though I would be hesitant asking for a replacement.

  • 2012 macbook pro retina display artifacts on screen when using onboard video

    2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display artifacts on screen when using onboard video.
    About a month ago I've noticed these strange artifacts (blocky pixelated looking) running vertically down the screen. It first started when using Safari. Then it started to happen all the time. I turned off the auto switch video in preferences, which I'm assuming forces the computer to use the separate video card and the artifacts go away.
    On top of that issue I also have had the ghosting issue.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    artifacts onscreen could mean a faulty gpu. You said by forcing it on inbuilt gpu you do not find this issue highlights that. Do take it in to apple for service and also tell them of your ghosting issue.
    There are a few retina owners who have faulty gpus.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display Issue (snowy screen)

    I have noticed when my mid 2012 MBP Retina comes out of sleep, it sometimes goes to a snowy (like TV static) screen for like 1/2 a second before the login screen shows up. So far I've only noticed it with the Intel 4000 card, and not the nVidia GeForce 650M, but I have not done enough testing to be certain. I started noticing this issue in beta 5 or 6 of Yosemite, and it continues to be a problem after the final release.

    Okay I ran the MacBook exclusively on the nVidia video for 2 days and did not notice the issue once. Today I switched back to the Intel card and it did it first time it came out of sleep. Now I am wondering if it's hardware or driver issue. That is the only video issue I notice.

    When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display, a black screen show up while I hear the normal start up sound.  I noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?

    If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.

  • Portuguese Keyboard on Macbook pro retina display.

    Dear All.
    Is there a possibility to buy a macbook pro retina display with portuguese keyboard in Apple Store in the U.S.A.?
    Regards.

    Hey, I have the same problem too. It is making me angry. Both my thunderbolt outputs work, but the hdmi freezes both screens. I then have to shut the computer off by holding the power button and re-boot. Have you found a solution? I NEED my hdmi port. Please get back to me. Thanks!

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display, a rough spot on the screen.!!!

    I bought my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) from a Authorised Reseller in Malidves. Its been 3 weeks since i've bought it. Few days back i noticed a white spot on the screen. I tried to wipe the spot off with the cleaning cloth. to my surprise, the spot didn't fade. The spot was rough to touch. Any ideas what it might be???

    Take it back to the reseller.  Your warranty should cover that problem.
    Ciao.

  • Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

    My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
    I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
    But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
    What should I do?
    Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
    But there is a major difference!
    -They have a black screen after they login.
    -My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
    This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
    Until now, nothing!
    Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
    I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
    Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

  • Screen on 15" Macbook Pro Retina Display.

    I bough my 15" Macbook Pro Retina Display in August 2012. I recently noticed that when I open the macbook,  I can see the screen shaking everytime I move the macbook pro on the table. I can feel it loose and when I touch it I test if it is loose I can see like 1/2mm movement back and forth when it is open.
    I don't know if it is just me and my OCD sense senses for this macbook pro.
    I just wanted to make sure.
    Does it get loos when opening after you have used it for more than half a year?
    Appreciate your oppinions!

    Your appointment at the genius Bar for an evaluation is free, in warranty or out.
    They can explain why it wiggles, tell you whether that is normal or not, give advice about what you can do to reduce its annoyance, and fix it if it is not normal. That is what they are trained to do, all day every day.
    There is no expectation that every time you visit they will find a way to make money off you, like a car dealership.
    The Genius Bar service exists because Apple wants you to be a happy customer, if possible. If you are willing to make an appointement and come to them (spending your time and energy to do so) they will work with you for nothing in an attempt to solve your problems, whatever they may be.

  • Can i buy a macbook pro retina display in US with portuguese keyboard?

    Can Apple or someone else tell me if is possible to buy in Apple Retail Store in U.S. a Macbook Pro retina Display  with portuguese keyboard?

    It's difficult to get one at a shop or Apple Online Store because build-to-order Macs aren't available at them unless they are very popular.
    The only option you have is to call Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and see if you can order a MacBook Pro with a Portuguese keyboard. In case you can, this will take days because it has to be ordered and delivered to the USAFD

    If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it.  If not, try the steps in this support article:

  • Macbook pro retina display broken screen?

    My one week old Macbook pro retina display 13 inch slipped from the bed earlier and I'm not sure what happened but I think the screen broke from the inside? -look at the pictures attached-
    I bought it from Oman, in the middle east. And I'm moving to Rochester, New York in two weeks so I've decided to fix it there.
    Would this be covered under warranty or will I have to pay? And how much would it cost to get this fixed? 

    Accidental damage is not covered. Maybe your home owner / renters insurance would cover it?
    You can speculate more about cost here:

    I have already deselected all the energy saving options.

    From what you describe, the computer is going to sleep.

  • Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?

    Well there are two or three causes of eyestrain with displays different people seem to have.
    1: Small type/UI elements
    2: Glossy screens
    3: Flicker rate
    1:
    The higher pixel rate combined with the display set at the higher resolution is going to cause UI and type to be smaller and harder to see. In fact it's advised to set OS X to a lower resolouton so it upscales better to match the pixel of the higher display.
    Reports coming in say watching HD 1920 x 1080 trailers on the anti-glare 17" is best as the pixel content matches the display almost fullscreen, where on the MBP-R it's upscaled and thus looks blurry.
    HD content makers are NOT going to change all their video cameras to support 2880 x 1800 full screen, so in order to get a clearer image playing HD 1080 content, one will have to do so in a smaller window.
    2:
    The new MBP-R dispalys are 75% less glossy, but not 100% less glossy like the anti-glare models so this can still cause some people problems. This can be lowered to under 1%, however I'm suspecting to do so would be considered giving up a military advantage to China where Apple gets it products made.
    3:
    I don't know about the flicker rate if it's better or not on the MBP-R's than the previous screens.

  • I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.
