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.

  • 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:

  • Macbook Pro retina display gray screen on start up

    New Macbook pro 1 week old gets a grey screen on startup
    Tried to do a safeboot but it stops after 5 lines.
    any ideas???

    You have a Retina model MBP. It did not come with installer discs. You would use Internet Recovery:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Dropped MacBook Pro retina display and screen won't work

    I accidental just dropped my MacBook Pro with retina display on its left side from about 2 feet. There doesn't appear to be any external damage except for the screen which is just white with some black on the left side. I can change the brightness and everything else appears to work. Any ideas on how to fix it or how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

    Oh dear
    Call your local Apple Store to get a quote for a repair.
    And check your home insurance to see if it's covered (it might be if you have accidental damage cover and you dropped it at home).
    If you're not ready or able to afford a repair or replacement, you might be able to keep using your MBP if you connect it to an external display.
    I don't know how important portability is for you, but if you would normally only use your MBP in one or two specific places (eg home and work), you could set up one external display in each location.
    Good luck!

  • 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

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

  • My letter "A" in my macbook pro retina 13 inch keyboard is broken does my warranty with apple cover it i bought my computer just 5 months ago :(

    yeah as the title states it  my macbook pro letter A is broken does apple cover it or do i need to pay for it?

    The Apple warranty is one year, so take it to an Apple store genius bar for examination by the techs.  They will determine the reason for the breakage and overage.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

    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.

  • HDMI failure on MacBook Pro Retina Display

    When I connect my MacBook Pro Retina Display (late Aug 2012) with HDMI cable to my HD TV their both screens turn blue and the Mac needs reboot. I used that same TV with my 3 yo MacBook Pro to watch over the HDMI (with some extra cabling) and it was fine. Why is it happening this now with the New Retina dispaly?

    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!

  • 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.
