MacBook Pro (retina display)screen going black after some time.

Hi, I bought my macbook pro 13" (retina display) a week ago. I haven't configured the screen saver yet but today when I was using the apple tv to watch a movie already on my macbook hard disk the screen went black but when I touched the trackpad it came back but the Airplay would get disconnted.

Set the display to not sleep when watching movies.

I have already deselected all the energy saving options.

From what you describe, the computer is going to sleep.
Have you restarted and reset the SMC?

Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

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

Small dent on Macbook Pro Retina display screen.

I'm looking for anyone else that has had this problem, ways to either fix it or just what to expect from the Apple Store when I go in. If it has happened to me twice, I feel it can't be too rare. Perhaps just to doccument it as well.
I've had my 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display for 6 months now and other than the screen, I've enjoyed it very much.
Two weeks into having the new computer I found what I thought was a dead pixel (two inches right then two inches up from center) and brought it in. I'd read about such things online and the LG/Samsung debacle but really just wanted my new computer to stay nice and new.
When I got into the store, they told me it was really just a dent in the screen from when dust or something got trapped between the screen and keyboard when it was closed. I thought to myself "Hey, my office is in the basement, maybe something fell down from the bare ceiling and it could have happened." Although I find myself taking very good care of the computer.
They replaced the screen for me under warranty and I instantly went out and got a case, screen cleaner that came with a fine brush to wipe they keyboard off with and a nifty microfiber cloth. Ever since then I've been afraid to close my Macbook Pro and rarely do so. I even asked them what I could do to prevent such things in the future. I was specifically told there wasn't much I could do other than try to ensure it didn't close on any dust. There was no product that would help and they recommended I didn't get a screen protector because it might damage a screen as well. For a laptop it seemed very impractical, but what else was I really supposed to do other than use it as a desktop?
Since then I've moved and no longer work in a basement. Two days ago I noticed the exact same thing appear in very nearly the exact same spot (I didn't document it the first time so I can't be perfectly sure but definitely the ball park of a square cm). I live a ways from an apple store but am visiting home in a week and based off my own experience and others that I have read, they'll replace the screen. I just wanted to esure they had the part since I'll only be in town for the weekend. Apple care had given me a case number and the number of the store, I called to arrange a genius appointment and try to see if they had the part, or at least if they could order it now.
The first man I got on the phone initially said "I don't know why they keep having people call here, let me get a technician for you." A few minutes on hold and I got a woman who claimed very matter of fact "That damage isn't covered, you'll have to pay for the replacement. I just want you to know what to expect when you walk in the store."
This is the same store I had gone to before where they had replaced it without question, I just wanted to try and line everything up before making the trip and having to explain it all when I arrived. I just wish they'd have a plan set out rather than it being up to individual employees.
What can I do to fix this screen? I got this computer based off all the video and photo editing I do and notice it instantly.
Side note, this isn't the same machine that did it before either. When I got my computer back from repair, they had forgotten to plug in the part that has the backlit keyboard. Then when that was fixed, the right side USB didn't function.
The Macbook also had image "ghosting" or retention issues. I hear that can be fixed via software though rather than being just hardware? I don't notice that as much as the little dent however. My display is LP154WT1-SJA1.

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) and just noticed this today in a similar location - from center, mine is about two inches right and one inch up. I thought it was a dead pixel after cleaning it and then realized it was a little dent. The location, when the notebook is closed, corresponds to the flat area between the Command key and Trackpad.
I take very good care of my MacBook and there are certainly no rocks on my keyboard when I close the lid! The screen stands off the keyboard when closed due to the raised trim so this should not have been the cause. I can't think of any other way this might have happened in my situation, though I guess anything is possible.
The effects of this dent are quite visible now in certain circumstances - on a dark background it looks like a little clump of stuck, lit pixels and on a light background it looks like a clump of dead pixels. Too bad, since I bought this, my first Mac, partly for its amazing screen.

Issue with Macbook Pro (early 2011) screen going black.

I installed an SSD with Mt Lion. Periodically the screen goes black like it's going to sleep. It hasn't done this in the past just noticed it the last few weeks.
The SSD is a Crucial with 8GB of Crucial memory. I've got all the software fixes up to date. Has anyone else seen this. I've read a few postings, one mentioned issues with Mt. Lion and another with a logic board in the laptop.

Well, seem like there's already ton of thread related to this issue ...

If you just got it and this is the first time you have turned it on the solution is very simple.
Take it back to where you bought it and exchange it for one that works. Don't bother calling Apple. Take it back.

MacBook Pro Retina Display 15" Late 2013 after 10.9.3 Update

All,
Thank you in advance for your time, support and recommendations.
After the install of the latest Maverick update on May 16, 2014 to 10.9.3, the following issues began.
- Upon boot my screen will turn a lavender color and then back to the normal screen with the login prompt
- Additionally, the screen is fading in and out - it goes dim and then it gets bright - repeatedly
- The same thing happens with the backlit keyboard - keyboard is lit and then goes dim and off and suddenly back on - repeatedly
My MBP is under warranty until December 2014.
Any suggestions ...
Thanks,
Mason

I have a similar problem with my late 2013 MBP Retina.
I took it over to the Apple store on Friday night, and the genius that helped me said, "I've never seen that before".
What happens, and it is not at every boot up is, the apple logo will turn yellow, with a red outline around it.
It happens for a split second, the screen turns bright white, then boots normally.
He told me he thought it had to be software related, and not hardware.
We tried to reinstall OSX, same thing happens.
The next thing he wants me to try is a complete redo of the computer, putting it back to it's factory state, and see if it happens, when it's "clean".
I told him I've only noticed this since the latest update, and I really don't want to spend a weekend deleting and reinstalling the system.
I might take it back, and let them play around with it.
I really don't want to waste my time figuring out their issues.
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a hardware failure.
I figure if you spend 2200.00 on a laptop, there should be someone that "has seen this before".

Every time I close my lid to my Macbook Pro, the computer screen goes black and restarts before I can use it again. Any idea how I can fix this?

It's been going on recently and even though I've tried to do an Software Update and click "sleep" before closing the lid, nothing seems to work...
Has anyone else had this problem and would have recommendations on how to fix it?
Thank you!

I think the behaviour of closing the lid has changed between "before Lion" and "since Lion" - which OS version do you have? There is a free utility called InsomniaX that help control this behaviour - see http://semaja2.net/archives/206 for more info.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

MacBook Pro retina display warm yellowish tint.

I had my MacBook Pro retina display screen replaced. But the new screen they replace for me has a warm yellow tint on the display.anyone else have the same problem?I went back to the store they say thats normal they wont do anything. what Can I do?
The it's very yellow. I using a iPad and Mac Pro at home. Every time I put my eye on my MacBook it just make my eye very uncomfortable. Very warm and yellowish.

Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee. I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement. Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

Macbook pro retina display 15 inch ram upgrade with apple care

hi,
I have a early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina Display 15 inch.
Doing some research, i do realized that RAMs are not upgradeable due to being embedded to motherboard.
I was hoping if there any chance to upgrade my RAM from 8 gb to 16 gb through Apple Care that i currently have.
I would love to hear back any feed backs on any possible way to upgrade your RAMS in MPR 15 inch.
thank you much!!!

thumbmania,
It's impossible for anyone - Apple included - to upgrade the RAM on a Retina MacBook Pro. With those machines, you have to live with what you originally purchased.
Sorry,
Clinton

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.

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:

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