Macbook Pro retina stained display

Hi, I've bought a brand new Macbook Pro 15' with retina display, and I've noticed that there is a stain on the display. It seems that such stain is in between the glass and the LCD panel, so I think it has nothing to do with a dead pixel issue.
Has anybody had this problem?, What can i do about it?
I attach two pictures of the stain.

Thx!

Nothing you can do but bring it back. It looks like some lazy tech touched the glass before assembling it and the oils got between and oxidized.

  • Macbook pro retina a1502 display assembly cost in india

    My macbook pro retina a1502 screen broke. It has a small crack on the top right corner. I wanted to replace the screen only but as it is not available I want to buy the display assembly to replace the broken screen. But I don't know how much will it cost in india....please help

    Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
    I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

  • Macbook pro retina LCD display vs. Retina Display

    I got a Macbook pro retina mid-2012. But when I check the Displays, it says Built-in Color LCD Display (not Retina). Is my Mac actually Retina? Thank you.

    That would indeed be a Retina display.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_Display
    Resolutions     2880 by 1800 pixels (Retina); scaled resolutions: 1920 by 1200, 1680 by 1050, 1280 by 800, and 1024 by 640 pixels

  • Macbook Pro Retina External Display Audio

    I am looking to get a Macbook Pro Retina 13" and I want to connect an external monitor to use as my primary display when at my desk.  How would I get audio to work when my Macbook is closed and I am just using the external display.  (Using DVI-D cable)

    I have a new rMBP 15 and I am having a major problem with hooking up to external projection systems. Otherwise, it's a fantastic computer for running Windows (required for work) and Mac, my preference.
    I have to often hook up to an external projector at various companies for presentations and I never know which type of projector they will have. Most are VGA and and most do not work with the Apple TB-VGA because it sees them as 640x480. I finally found a solution with an "active" VGA adaptor from Cirago:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AT2KTK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
    However, now that I have higher resolution the image is blurry much like the OP but even worse and not usable. I am going to experiment with various settings I have found on other posts and forums, but most are specific to a fixed setup, whereas I need plug&play and don't have the time to fiddle with settings before each presentation.
    My fear is that I may have to abandon the rMBP and revert to my old clunker DELL, due only to this one major issue issue.

  • Macbook Pro Retina/Thunderbolt Display, Mid-2014 speakers buzzing.

    I've had my MBPR since September, and had no issues until this year really.  If I attempt to watch a video or listen to audio, whilst on FaceTime - the audio seems to buzz.  I've never had the issue whilst on the macbook alone - only when connected through my thunderbolt display.
    Any similar issues/fixes?

    Hi nicicloud,
    It's been a while and I hope you would still notice my reply.
    I am having the same issue where Thunderbolt Display does not have HiDPI options in System Preferences.
    I am using a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    I tried a few apps, including SwitchResX.
    SwitchResX do provide a few HiDPI options, but the one I wanted, 1280x720 HiDPI happen to be not working.
    Can you try setting your TBD resolution to 1280x720 with HiDPI?
    Thank you!
    Btw, with the 11" MacBook Air, I didn't even need to download any app to enable 1280x720 HiDPI on TBD. A simply terminal command worked

  • My 13'' macbook pro retina's display just stopped working for some reasons i don't know, what can be the cause?

    Hello
    i'm really worried about my macbook pro, it's a 13'' retina 2012 model. After watching a late night movie last night i just closed the lid and went straight to bed as usual. To my surprise when i flipped open the lid this morning it only made the apple sound when turned on but didn't display anything. I tried switching it on and off several times but nothing changed. So i connected it to an external display and it worked fine. The funny thing is i never dropped it or spilled any liquid on it. Now i'm wondering what could be the cause and i'm hopping someone might be abble to explain this....Could it be the lcd screen, the video card or graphic processor or could it be the logic board?? Help.

    reseting the System Management Controller won't wipe my SSD drive will it?
    No, but if you don't already have a backup, you must back up immediately, before you reset the SMC or do anything else.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 2013 - Display Problems in iTunes

    I just got my new MacBook Pro 13" Retina a few days ago from the Apple Online Store - there was the problem that the display flickered in itunes everytime when i started up a movie or in the iTunes Store the trailer of movies / and tv shows. Otherwise if i stopped the video in the full screen mode and gone back with esc to the itunes store there came up for few seconds the last pictures of the played movie.
    I called to apple and they sent me a new one with (i cannot believe) the really same issue ...... now my question - has anybody of you the same problem or can help me and look it up if there's the same in itunes with that model -  I am not sure if its a software problem or a hardware issue with for example the graphics

  • Apple Macbook Pro Retina with display issue Samsung LED

    Once I have plugged the HDMI cable from Macbook Pro to Samsung 24" LED Monitor, the display remains black. Doesn't seemed like the samsung monitor recognised the Apple Macbook Pro at all. I have reset the PRAM and troubleshoot it with Apple and meanwhile still waiting for answer from Apple. They have acknowledged of the problem but there is no solution. I erally need the second extended monitor for my design work. Bit ridiculus that the most powerful Apple system cannot even do the simplest thing. I am stuck now. Please help.

    Just letting everyone in the forum know that I have been a loyal user of apple for the past 20 years and this is quite embarassing to know that HDMI cannot work with a samsung LED monitor. In addition, I have been a Apple Tech and Sales.
    Also, there are a lot of users out there who are having the same propblem,. This is certainly not good enough.
    I still find it wayyyyy too early to blame Apple so generally. This other "lot of users" has a lot of home-made problems, such as incompatible displays, adapters, etc.
    BTW, mind telling the exact display model number?
    And thanks for the response further above.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro Retina screen display pixilated graphics when using the finder?

    While this started just after the latest OS X update, each time I use the finder now to locate a graphic to upload, the graphic appears extremely pixelated. It does not matter which application I use to search and upload a graphic file, the graphic appears smaller and bleeds out. I just purchased the new Video Motion Pro video editing software, and every single graphic I upload to this application is pixelated. Has anyone else had any problems with their retina display after the last update?
    Here are some examples of hi resolution graphics that now appear pixelated on my Retina screen:

    http://www.screencast.com/t/WhG1h5dBh
    If anyone is aware of an application or Apple software test that allows me to check my graphic card and retina display, please advise. I have performed multiple disk utility checks, restarts, etc., but nothing seems to help.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Pro Retina crashes with thunderbolt display

    Whenver I plug the thunderbolt display into my macbook pro retina both displays black out and the computer becomes semi-unrespsonsive (ie I can hear the volume controls however that is all. I need to force shutdown.
    I've noticed this problem happening since I installed xQuark (X11) a week ago, I have since removed it and any traces of it but the problem seems to have become worse.

    Hi there ericdi,
    It looks like you are experiencing persistent kernel panics. You may find the troubleshooting steps toward the bottom of the article below helpful. Please keep in mind, diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you would like to avoid this process, or do not know how to perform any of the following steps, consider bringing the Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15'/Sudden drop in graphics perfomance

    Hi, I purchased the base model of the Macbook Pro Retina 15' display 2 weeks ago and recently installed Windows 7 via bootcamp just so I could play a couple of games which were not supported on OS X. Everything was going well until 3 days ago when I turned my mac on, logged into windows, booted up Bordelands 2 and noticed a massive drop in frame rates causing the game to be very laggy. At first I thought it was a problem with the game but then I had the same problem with Skyrim. I then reinstalled Windows 7 and the problem persisted. So I did a CineBench test on OS X Mountain Lion and got 14.7 fps on the OpenGL test which is more than half of what other people get with the same model Macbook Pro. So now I'm stuck on how to fix this, I'm not sure whether this is a software or a hardware problem and if there might be a quick fix that I can do or if I have to take it to an apple store to have it replaced. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

    Thanks for this... you just made my day with this one line. Tried to figure out for days what went wrong with skyrim or the macbook pro, but a simple SMC reset helped.
    For the record - since I had to google this SMC reset myself too - here is how I done it on the retina MBP:
    1. Shutdown the laptop.
    2. Make sure that the MagSafe power adapter connected.
    3. Press (left) SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION+POWER buttons once (at the same time) ...no need to hold them.
    4. Press POWER button to turn your MBP on again.
    Simple as that and worked like a charm for me.
    Big up for Ardalaan.

  • 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.

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.
