Macbook Pro Retina Display Notification Centre Pixelated. Any Fixes?

I've frequently wondered why on the Retina display macbook, my notification centre is pixelated?
Anybody have any reasons as to why? or if there is a fix for this?
Many thanks
Mark

Kitsi,
try shutting the book for 1-min and reopen it.
Also found the combinations buttons fn-control-F7 to unfreeze.
good luck

  • Macbook pro retina display SECOND SCREEN pixel failure, out of warranty will apple fix it?

    I bought my macbook pro when it first came out, had to have a screen replaced due to pixel failure 7 months later. Now again im having one fail, then another, and now a cluster has failed. My mac is out of warranty but IM ******, I bought a $2700 Laptop to have to change the screen once a year?! this is BS

    Maybe you should of bought the Applecare extended warranty. You had all of the first year to buy that.
    Now all you can do is go to an Apple store and Ask if it will be changed free of charge and if not you will have to pay for it.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Pixelated on Macbook Pro Retina Display

    Hello!
    I am a photography student who just bought a new macbook pro retina display. I use Photoshop a lot for my course so need help with this as quick as possible.
    Everything on Photoshop seems to be pixelated which is not ideal right now. I also have an iMac which runs the same version of Photoshop and that is absolutely fine, never had a problem. My friend suggested downloading a trial version of the CC as this automatically sorted hers out but did not mine. Any suggestions at all will be SO helpful as I've researched into this problem and are yet to find an answer!

    Very simple. The hiDPI Macintoshes and MacOS support for same were released after CS6 was released. Some of the CS6 applications got upgrades to support these hiDPI displays; others including InDesign did not get such upgrades until the CC 2013 version.
    Sorry, but there is not anything you can do about this with CS5-vintage software.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display & Adobe programs are pixelated

    Hi. I just purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina Display and have installed CS 5.5 Design Standards to it. When I open the programs (any program: inDesign, Photoshop, etc), the image is pixelated and in low resolution. When I export what I'm working on it looks crisp and great but the software itself is pixelated. Are there any upgrades / updates for CS 5.5 that will fix this problem? Or will there be in the future? I cannot afford to get CS 6 quite yet and am wondering if I should return my Mac and downgrade to get rid of the retina display?? Thanks.

    To get Retina support, you'll have to upgrade to CS6 or join the Adobe Creative Cloud.
    https://creativecloud-specialoffer.adobe.com/special-offer/
    Retina support arrive in Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1 and Cloud 13.1). It will not be added to CS5.5

    I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

  • Pixelated MacBook Pro Retina Display!

    I just purchased a MacBook pro retina display 15" 2.3ghz 2 weeks ago and i thought everything was going to be as clear as ever, but it turns out that more stuff are pixelated than before!!!! For example icons and text on websites, download managers and even the programes i work on such as (Adobe photshop, illustrator, indesign) you can see the tool's pixels.! Is this the way it should be or is there something wrong going on?!

    Hello Donald,
    Macbook Pro, retina display, 15".
    2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor  with 6MB shared L3 cache.
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory.
    256GB storage.
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics.
    OS X MAVERICK.
    $1999 / 2.049eur.
    Adobe Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5. Never gave me problems... Pixelated.
    Probably the cloud edition CS6 is performed to retina display? Well, I cannot afford the cloud edition now...
    Adobe Acrobat Pro think it's 10. Pixelated.
    Portrait Professional 11. Pixelated.
    Lightroom 5 is ok with retina display.
    And some other programs I'll might use, but not now, for 3D editing and video. I'm afraid of not getting the HiDPI quality in several programs, while I can't wait 6 months or 1 year to developers "work on it"... My job is now, no later...
    Thank you

  • When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display i get a black screen and i noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?

    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.

    I've got a dead pixel (white) in the middle of my Macbook-pro retina display, what to do?
    Just bought it a a month ago, and it's really anoying me!

    Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • "Servie Battery" Macbook Pro Retina Display

    Hi All,
    My Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina display is giving me a notification saying my battery needs to be serviced. It recently has been acting up a little, where sometimes it doesn't wake from sleep and i have to restart the system to get it to turn on. What exactly does "Service Battery" mean? There isn't a apple store in my town and the nearest would mean a 1hr 30min drive, so my question is should the battery need to be replaced, is this something that can be done by the genius bar in-store within a couple hours? Or would it be a couple days? I don't want to drive up to the apple store only for them to have the replace the battery having to order it or something. Im a college student and I literally cannot survive without my laptop. Also it is worth mentioning my laptop is still under warranty. So technically if any work needed to be done I shouldn't have to pay a cent right?
    Would be great if could get so insight from some people who've experienced a similar "service battery" issue.

    Hi there Ahsu882,
    You may find the information about battery service messages in the article below helpful.
    Mac OS X v10.6: About the Battery menu bar extra for Mac notebooks
    About "Replace Now" and "Service Battery"
    If a Mac notebook's battery is unable to hold a charge for long (or at all), the Battery menu will display either a "Replace Now" or "Service Battery" alert. If you see this, and if the battery in the Mac notebook is removable, try removing and reseating it. Make sure the power cord is connected to your computer and a power outlet. If the battery is not removable, it may be necessary to reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Your Mac notebook's battery may need to be inspected and/or replaced if the issue persists.
    The warranty coverage of batteries is determined by a couple of things:
    Apple - Batteries - Service and Recycling
    Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles. The one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. Apple offers a battery replacement service for all MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display Support ?

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina Display laptop, and would like to know when I can expect Adobe to upgrade the CS6 suite of apps to take advantage of the Retina display.

    Don Quinn wrote:
    Am I the only one confused why people buy into doubly dense displays and then want to dumb them down by making elements on them twice as large?  That seems wasteful. Scoot your chair closer to the screen. I hold an iPhone 4 closer to my face than a 2nd gen iPod touch. It is no big deal. They look the same that way.
    The retina display does not introduce a new issue. Dot pitch has been increasing for years. We see people that will adjust their LCDs to a non-native resolution (ie: running 1024x768 on a 1280x1024-capable display). Or they will adjust their system settings to display larger fonts. Instead of buying the right monitor for their needs and eyesight, they misuse an expensive display. I would love to have the pixels that they are not using. A pixel is a terrible thing to waste.
    You show a complete lack of understanding of the problem, and what the Retina display brings to the table. It's not just a higher density display — it's roughly double the resolution. You even said it, but did you think it through? According to your suggestion, we should run the display at the double resolution and deal with half-sized UI elements. Can I say, "yuck!"? Just TRY to use Photoshop with buttons this small:
    http://d.pr/i/LVTH (screenshot of Photoshop CS6 on my rMBP at the highest resolution) Squeeze that into a 15in. laptop screen and you'll see the problem.
    Most are smaller than my mouse pointer. Some apps that don't support the display are completely unusable. I tried playing Team Fortress 2 soon after getting my rMBP and found that the settings UI is so small it's impossible. The doubled resolution isn't so we get more screen real estate — it's so we get super-crisp images and a level of detail in the photos and graphics we work on that parallels printed work. Hell, I'd settle for just getting the workspace Retina supported. I don't care if the UI is grainy, I just want my photos and prints to be crystal clear.
    I'm STILL waiting on word (any word at all) from Adobe that even HINTS on Retina support. I refuse to purchase software because odds are, it'll be in 6.5 and I'll have to purchase all over again. I'd go Creative Cloud but I'm not paying $50/mo for ugly software from a company who could be a bit more loving to the consumer. Also, I just can't afford it. I'm unfortunately stuck waiting with just Pixelmator (which is Retina supported already... ahem) until Adobe says something. ANYTHING. Instead, you could hear a pin drop in the silence. WE JUST WANT TO KNOW

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

    I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations.  I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote.  Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display?  Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection.  Im looking for  a remote that worked like the apple TV remote.  My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac.  I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter.  It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good.  Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display hard crashes - not caused by Google Chrome

    Hi, all. This is my first time posting on these forums, and it is only due to the unsurpassed amount of frustration I have had with my mbpr. I received it in late August, and it worked great. Yes, I had the waking from sleep problem, but that got fixed in an update and didn't bother me too much. What did bother me was when I started installing my games.
    I play a ton of games, I have Steam, Diablo III (which Apple during their keynote said is compatible with the retina display resolution and worked with Apple on making it so), WoW and others. Anytime I play any game, it pretty much crashes and I have not been able to find a single solution.
    I have tried disabling graphics switching, installing 3rd party programs to disable graphics switching and uninstalling them again, using an external monitor and the built in retina display, verifying/repairing permissions, setting a cap on the FPS in a game as to not make my laptop hot at all (even crashed with a 30 FPS cap), re-installing OS X Mountain Lion from recovery, resetting the NVRAM...
    The computer just locks up, goes into a sound loop (like a record skipping very quickly), and becomes totally unresponsive to anything except a hard reset. On wake, it will always display "Your computer has shut down because of a problem, would you like to open the applications blah blah". Basically asking if I want to start where I left off. It never gives an option to send a report to Apple.
    Oh also, it can sometimes crash when it's just remotely warm? For example, when I was re-installing OS X ML from recovery the FIRST time (I did it twice), it crashed mid-installation!
    The funny thing is, I have windows 7 installed via Bootcamp. Whenever I play any games on that partition...100% fine. No problems, handles graphics beautifully. Using the OS for anything else such as watching videos, downloading music or movies, using any applications is fine. It just seems to be games (or a very small amount of heat? I'm not sure).
    Any suggestions? I'm completely stuck on finding any solutions. My experience with the Apple store has been awful in the past, and going to them with any problem is a last resort for me. In the past, I have been able to solve many problems on my own with enough googling and forum digging.
    This, after months, is still unsolvable for me. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
    15" MacBook Pro Retina Display, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 2.6 ghz i7.
    tl;dr: Macbook crashes everytime I play a game or when it gets warm, I'm not sure, help.

    Sorry that no one answered your question the first go-round - sometimes these things just slip by us.
    Most people would have probably just recommended taking your machine to your local Apple Store.
    Which is what you did - and all is well now, I'm assuming?
