Macbook pro retina windows 7 iso problem

Im on a macbook pro retina and have been trying to install windows 7 on it through bootcamp for the past 3 hours and no matter what image of Windows 7 I download from the internet it never fits bootcamp's requirements. I've gotten all the possible problems, from not being a 64 bits file to not even being windows 7 or later file. What on earth am I supposed to do?

try one from here

Macbook Pro Retina 2014 HDMI problems

Hi,
I'm new to the Mac world, so please forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious. I'm trying to connect my new 2014 Macbook Pro Retina to my VGA monitor via a HDMI adaptor. I've used this adaptor without problems on my Lenovo laptop running Ubuntu. However, when I connect it to the Mac, the Macbook display flashes, sometimes I see the display preferences and it correctly identifies the monitor, an old Acer wide-screen, flash up and it flicks between various resolutions and preference options; other times it just flashes and then goes blank (the only way I know to get back from the blank screen is to turn it off and on again). Other times it just flashes and then does nothing, certainly in display preferences I don't see the other monitor and the other monitor is blank.
I know the cable and monitor work, I can understand their being a resolution problem, the monitor is way less capable than the retina screen. So, is there any way to tell the Mac to use extended mode instead of mirror mode from the start?
Can I basically set-up the monitor and then plug it in, so it doesn't have to try and auto detect everything and have a heart attack?
Also, it seems like all the failed attempts have stopped the Mac even trying to figure out what to do. I have deleted the plist files, which I assume are the configuration files so it will try and figure out what to do again, but it just seems to have now succumbed to the fact it doesn't want to work with it.
Any suggestions, very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately the monitor is not available to be selected under Display > Colour. When I have the display properties open, it does flash up a new window with the correct monitor and various resolution settings, but it is not possible to select one or do anything as the display keeps flashing and the cursor keeps jumping to the top left of the screen, then everything goes blank.
The HDMI to VGA adaptor that I use is a CAMAC (not the best in the world I'm sure but has worked solidly with my Lenovo laptop and Unbuntu).
The monitor I'm trying to connect to is a Acer AL1916W (again not a great monitor but has worked flawlessly with every over computer connected to it including the Lenovo with the HDMI adaptor).
The Mac is defiantly recognising the monitor, it just can't seem to decide what to do with it, flashing up display property windows and swapping between settings before giving up and everything goes blank.
Any other suggestions very much appreciated.

MacBook Pro Retina Wireless Connection problem

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) w AC wireless capability, and I have not been able to connect to my wireless network at work. Other computers, including my previous MacBook Pro (mid 2008) and my iPad 3 are able to connect to the work network without problems and I have no problems connecting my new MBP to my home or other networks. I have Windows 8 on a Boot Camp partition, and when my MBP is booted under windows, it still does not connect. My MBP is running OS X 10.9.4. My work wireless network uses a Linksys Wireless G Access Point model WAP54G v.2. Rebooting the router does not help. When my MBP tries to connect to the work wireless network, the status in Network Preferences says "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.216.147 and will not be able to connect to the Internet." Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jackso,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For troubleshooting a self-assigned IP address, I would suggest reading over and using the following article as a reference and resource.
Internet connection does not work with an IP address space of 169.254.xxx.xxx from ISP, router, or manual configuration

MacBook Pro Retina 13' HDMI Problem

Hi all,
Two weeks ago I discovered a problem with the HDMI output on my external monitor (LG IPS 234) when connected to a MacBook Pro Retina 13'. The monitor wasn't able to display greyscale information. E.g. the underlying greyscales of a Google preview search suggestion when hovering a mouse over the suggestions. Also the whole monitor display looked washed out and fuzzy. I thought it would be a problem with the monitor, so I hauled it back to the store. We checked the monitor with a MBPR 15' and everything was fine (screens not in sync - important see below). I started thinking the new 13' MBPR might be the issue. But before leaving the store and blaming my MBPR 13' we checked out another 13' MBPR and (supprise!) the same effect again. To double check we tried another external monitor from Samsung (ok, I know if Samsung is not working with an Apple MBPR...). But seriously... The same effect again.
I contacted the Apple support and after discussing this with the 1st level (with little helpful tips ... SMB reset etc.) I was forwarded to the 2nd level. The guy wasn't able to help me either. He blamed my monitor and that it might need a firmware update. The problem could be linked with some incompatible HDCP. But a firmware update can only be done by the monitor vendor or a service partner and LG doesn't even indicate that this is possible at all.
Now my question is, does anybody else experience problems with external IPS displays and the MBPR 13'?
As I said, we tested it with 2 different MBPR 13' and 2 monitors from different vendors. In each combination the same problem. Always the same effect. For me this is an indication that there might be a bigger problem under the surface.
Kird
PS: a friend with a MPBR 15' has the same effect but only when the internal and the external IPS monitor is in sync
PS: the Apple 2nd level support promised me to give me a call regarding further steps to solve the problem (with a fixed date on Monday this week) ... They never called... Poor service Apple!

Hello Daniel,
I gave Apple a call last week and asked for a feedback on my ticket. The guy I talked to at least tried to help me with the issue. In the meantime since my last attempt to receive something from Apple nothing has happened on the issue. Surprise! So we started from 0 again... Ok... Bought in customer with a decent pain level...
I received some test tools from the guy that I ran on the MPPR creating an encrypted file (...yes I can imagine what you think and I can assure you I had similar thoughts...) and mailed this stuff back to Apple. Now that they have insight of my whole digital live (ok I distend it a bit, but in reply to my question what's all included in this file the guy mentioned something like "don't worry only technical stuff..." Ah yea... That's why it is encrypted... You might find an info about a malfunction in the HDMI inside... very confident... Ok... What you all do for a chance of solving an HDMI problem).
So the current status is: Apple engineers are spending nights in the office to dig into whatever this tools squeezed out of my innocent MacBook. You see I have reached a state where I am slowly drifting into sarcasm ;-)
The guy mentioned there might ! be a patch coming with the next release if Apple finds the issue important enough ! and ! enough other customers have the problem as well. And on this I am not kidding. That's what he said.
Hmm... Will 3 customers be enough? I doubt it... We'll find out with the next release. Maybe we can increase the complains from release to release and empirically estimate when Apple starts taking customers seriously.
My personal guess is that they will dismount the HDMI port and send us an aluminum plug that fits perfectly in the hole. I have a flashback... There was once an issue with an antenna and they offered a piece of plastic to...
I am getting carried away so I better stop now :-) and return to my wine
Let's stay in touch if you find out something on the GB

Macbook Pro Retina + Windows 8 Questions

First: I know that Bootcamp doesnt have any Windows 8 drivers yet. I know that Windows 7 drivers will do temporarily.
In a month time, I will be getting a Macbook Pro retina. 13" base model. This would be my very first mac. I chose this mac because portability is a major factor for my everyday need. Im always on the move. I know the storage isn't enough but I will buy myself an external Hard drive. Depends on the budget. I will be using this laptop for not so heavy work. Mainly i will be studying Objective C and C++. Something for a free time self study developing. Reason why im putting windows in it, its because i need visual studio c++ for studying ( feel free to recommend any other application for c++ designed for mac). I chose windows 8 because the pro version is 60$ at my local retail.(I know how to do clean install without the requirements).
My questions to those who successfully installed Win8:
1. What are the issues you encountered and how did you solved it?
2. How's the performance? Laggy?
Thanks in advance.

The update to boot camp is now available!
Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro to my MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012, OS X 10.8.5: Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
After going through the usual process from boot camp, then installed windows and the support drivers... the trackpad rt click did not work. I had to then go download the boot camp again from windows 8 using the url below and ran the set up.exe from the boot camp folder you can download from below. Run it within windows 8.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
This solved the Trackpad Right Clicking issue (not working) as well as tapping.
The wireless and network connectivity and keyboard brightness and speakers issues where resolved as well. The Boot camp support software enabled a boot camp control panel available in the windows 8 system tray and from there you can enable the track pad to tap and use the secondary click.

Macbook pro retina ghost image problem

I have heard about the burn-in problem on macbook pro retina display especially on LG screen. After I got my macbook retina for 3 months, the ghost image problem become really really unacceptable. After 4~5mins, the image on screen will burn in obviously for quite a long time. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS!! So I drop by apple store and find a genius, he did a persistence test on my macbook. The test is under a very low brightness, and I can not even know how he was operating. After 6 minutes, he said there is no burn-in problem. He explained that, if my macbook pass the test, it means my screen is within inspection. But I can tell if this screen is good, APPLE you should take a look at your inspection and change it RIGHT NOW. Everyone of my friend who have seen the problem on my screen says it is unacceptabe, how can it be within inspection? If anyone need a photo of that, i will provide.

Good work...
Back-up all your data.
If they replace your MacBookPro, you can avoid a service charge for runniing the back-up for you.

NEW MacBook Pro Retina cracking sound problem

I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina after using a MacBook Pro for a year. From Day One my MacBook Pro Retina makes a cracking sound from the body on the right side. not acceptable from such a expensive machine. Apple would not replace it! Now I don't know what to expect, but I never expected this. Laptops worth 400bucks are not this cracky. After browsing through i see im not the only one with this problem. The local apple service center said they have checked it everything is fine and it is not damaged, it was a manufacturers defect. Why should I be the victim here?

Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM didn't work. The crackling sound is especially bad around the 4:00 mark in the following Killzone Shadow Fall preview:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/watch-the-ps4s-killzone-shadow-fall-shared-di rect-from-the-con/
Several songs in the iTunes store, when previewing, also have the same crackling issue.
I'm just glad it's not crackling for every single video or song, at the very least.

Macbook Pro retina, Windows 8.1 dual screen, Dell E228WFP problem/blurry

Hello brainiacs,
I am running my Macbook Pro 2013+ edition with Retina display and an extrenal screen.
Problem: Fonts and windows on secondary screen (Dell E228WFP), in extended display mode, appears blurry and/or large (see screenshot)
I use a Mini Display Port to DVI for my Dell Screen, Apple original product.
I use Windows 8.1 with latest Boot Camp, version 5.1
My Macbook is latest Macbook Pro with retina 15'' 2560x1600 px.
Dell Screen has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 px.
When I view the display settings in Screen Resolution mode in Windows, I get the following warning: "Your resoltuion is lower than 2028x1440. Some items might not fit on your screen". I do not believe this warining is regarding blurryness, but rather moving windows from primary to secondary monitor.
Here's a screenshot:
Some of the texts look fairly sharp and crisp, for example the pop-up menu (except, this has huge fonts). Outlook is very blurry. Chrome is, - ok, but not perfect.

Macbook pro retina, windows 7, how to install it without using optical drive?

Hi,
I am thinking of buying the new macbook pro with retina display.
I do not intend to get and external optical drive.
I want to split the hard disk and install a windows 7 ultimate, which I own and have as an CD image ( ISO file ).
how can I install windows from my ISO without burning it into a CD or creating an external drive? is it possible?

Put the iso on a USB thumb drive. Then use Boot Camp Assistant to make the thumb drive bootable. Then follow the instructions in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro/bootcamp/
You should visit the Boot Camp Forum here https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Macbook Pro Retina - Mac Mail Problem

I've just blown a fortune on a brand new retina display macbook pro. It's time for a fresh start after years of bugs and slow laptops so I've decided I don't want to migrate from my old macbook. I have multiple email addresses, some are pop and some are imap. I spent hours setting up all the addresses in mac mail only to find about 90% of the sent messages from one of the imap email addresses are missing (the most important adderss too!). The only ones in the sent folder are the ones sent using my iphone. Would I be correct in assuming all my sent message are no longer stored on my imap server? I can see them all if I use my old laptop so they must be lurking in a folder on that laptop somewhere. I've tried everything!! I tried deleting the mail folder from the library of my new laptop and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences. I then replaced them both with the ones on my old laptop... still the same problem. Any suggestions???

I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird on both Win PCs and Mac's for some time now and have no problems accessing both POP and IMAP accounts with it. I have 4 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts.
Switch to it from Windows Live Mail, which IMHO is just the pits, and then when I got my Mac and tried Mac Mail I said There has to be something better and found that Thunderbird also has a OS X version. So that is what I installed.
Been using it on Mac for almost 8 months now. No problems, at least none for me.

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

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 display video problems

I had recently bought a new 13" macbook pro with retina display in july and keep having problems viewing videos where the video freezes but the audio keeps going and then the picture jumps to real time. I have had an older macbook pro since 2008 and never had that problem. Is anyone else experiencing this?

You're asking a question that nobody can answer.
Keep a good thought!
Good luck!

Macbook pro retina screen flicking problem

I bought this 15 inches Macbook pro back in Nov, 2012. And I have the screen flicking problem in Dec.
The problem is the same here listed on youtube. You can find hundres of them just by searching "retina flicker" on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6WCqw20ZE
And I did a lot of researches on this. I had also gone to the Apple Store 2 times, one Genius Bar Staff told me this has to be a hardware problem and offer to fix my laptop, others said it might be a software based problem and adviced me to wait for the new system update. I don't have time for a long fixing so I chose waiting. That particular one who told me to wait for the next software update also encourage me to dig deep and tried to find the root cause by myself...and I did. I found my screen flicking problem could caused by cellphone inteference. And It seems that the Wi-Fi antena is also a key component here. If I turn off Wi-Fi completely, the flickering went away.
Some solutions I found online
1. It can caused by Enable Safari webGL. So disable webGL and turn off develop mode
2. Disable displaycard auto switch in Power saving tab
3. Close the lid put the sytem into sleep and re-open the lid
4. stop using Wi-Fi. That's right people, try disable Wi-Fi!! It's the only working solution for me.
5. It could be caused by CDMA cellphones including US Verizon brand cellphones and many others. GSM cellphones are OK. Try to turn off your cellphone or drive to a empty plaza and try to see your laptop still flickering at your car. Turn off your cellphone when You do this.
What doesn't work
Reboot
reinstall OS
go to Apple Store and change Logic Board (Someone reported that after logic board change, the problem came back after a while)
Let me know if you guys have any findings, Thanks!!

I'm sure that you've seen the problem with 'burn-in' and 'ghosting' on some MBP-R machines in threads on this forum. It doesn't seem to be an overwhelming problem, but some have reported it.
Did you buy it from an Apple Store or online? Either way, you need to get tough with Apple. Tell them you need to keep your computer and, when they deliver a replacement to your local Apple Store, you'll bring it in for exchange. That's what they've been doing with most people that have had MBP-R problems - I've never heard of them requesting that you send your computer back before they will exchange. Did you contact your local Apple Store or was this response from an AppleCare phone conversation. If the latter, take it into the Apple Store, explain what you want to do, and I'm sure that they will work with you.
Good luck,
Clinton
