Macbook Pro Retina with Samsung 2053BW

I recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina that I was planning to use with my Samsung 2053 22" monitor (1650x1050) and bought a MiniDisplay Port aswell.
However I can not seem to get this monitor to work with the Macbook Pro.
The Samsung monitor works fine with my windows desktop and has done so for years.
I also went to the local applestore here and got them to test both my MiniDisplay Port with an external monitor with my DVI-D cable aswell.
They did not test it with my Macbook Pro Retina as I did not bring it, but will most likely go and get them to test that also.
Though I think the problem is with the compatability between the macbook and the samsung display.
Does anyone have anything else I can try or suggestions for my problem? I have also tried resetting the pram without any results.

You did not remove your Windows partition correctly. You need to remove it using Boot Camp Assistant. If you cannot then you will need to repartition the entire drive back to a single partition/volume.

  • MacBook Pro Retina with a 500gb hard drive - 400gb storage space?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with a 500gb hard drive. I recently deleted a windows 8 partition, and now my macbook says its total storage capacity is 399.42gb. Is this normal? Or am I missing 100gb storage space?
    When I deleted the partition through boot camp, there was an error, but the boot camp partition seemed to have been deleted completely. I ran disk utility repair and single user mode command prompt /sbin/fsck -fy to make sure my disk was properly partitioned, but it still shows 399.42gb total storage in my "About This Mac".

  • Macbook pro retina with ghost image problem

    Can i claim my retina display that have ghost image problem?

    Hi there, I had the same problem with my Macbook Pro 15`` Retina. And here is how you can find out if you have ghost image problem. There are two retina display manufacturers for Macbook Pro Retina`s LG and Samsung. And if you are luck you will have the Samsung Retina Display on your mac. Here is how you can find the manufacturer for you Macbook.
    Go to your Applications folder and launch Terminal. Paste in the following and hit return:
    ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
    Look at the beginning of the second line to see which manufacturer made your display. If it starts with LP then you have an LG display. Samsung displays start with LSN.
    If your display shows LP you might have this problem for sure. So here is how you can test your screen.
    A simple test to check your Retina MacBook Pro display for image retention also reported as "ghosting"
    http://www.mitchmalone.name/retina-test/
    Run the test for 10 Min. and you will find out if you have this problem.
    And if you have it, and if you are still under waranty the Apple will replace the display with Samsung for free of charge. I hope this information helps.

  • Macbook pro retina with 2 monitors

    i'm considering switching to macbook pro retina.  will it support 2 external thunderbolt monitors independantly with different programs operating on each?

    I haven't tried it, but the official answer appears to be "yes":
    "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors"
    "Two Thunderbolt ports (up to 10 Gbps)"
    All three displays can become one extended desktop. Windows for various applications can be spread among them as you prefer, assuming the applications do nothing to prevent it.

  • Macbook pro retina with external dvd or reg. macbook pro

    I just received my new macbook pro retina display.  discovered did not have dvd drive.  stupidly did not figure that out prior.  Should I exchange it for a macbook pro with drive or is the external dvd drive as good?

    OIt's true that the Retina model needs adapters for Ethernet and FireWire 800 connections - so there might be a mess of 'accesories' to haul around and keep track of. Personally, that's just one of the many reasons that I didn't leap at a 1st generation Retina model. You can always put an SSD into a standard, non-Retina, MBP. You can also add up to 16GB of RAM, just as on a Retina model. And it's much cheaper to DIY than to pay Apple prices.
    Plus the optical drive is built-in.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Using Macbook Pro Retina with 2011 iMac

    About to purchase a new Macbook Pro Retina and hope to use my existing 2011 iMac as an external display which I believe is possible with this model. If it is, which cable will I need? Thunderbolt?

  • New MacBook Pro Retina with NEC 27 inch monitor

    I've got a new MacBook Pro Retina and I'm trying to use it with my NEC 27 monitor. I connected the two via Apple DVI to Thunderbolt adaptor, but I can only get the monitor to operate at 1500 pixels with the MacBook Pro even though my monitor supports 2560x1440pixels. This is really frustrating since I purchase this lapto to use with my monitor. Any advice?  Thanks, Lucian

    When going to the 2560x1440 ( or 1600) resolution you will need the dual-link DVI adapter (along with a dual link DVI cable, of course).   The single link will work...but at lower resolutions. 

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro SATA drive vs Macbook Pro Retina with flash memory?

    How fast does the macbook pro with Retina Display and Flash memory work than the macbook pro with SATA hard drive with same configuration?

    kent.229,
    given those uses — PowerPoint, Word, Safari, photo storage — you could probably keep your existing MacBook Pro, replace its internal disk with a SSD, and purchase an external drive to store your photos, at a fraction of the price of a replacement MacBook Pro. (You should also purchase an additional external drive for use as a Time Machine backup destination, if you’re not already doing so — you wouldn’t want to lose 10,000 photos due to a filesystem glitch.)

  • MacBook Pro retina with 256GB or 512GB?

    I currently have a macbook (late 2009), and after 4-5 years it's finally carked it. It has 2.26GHz intel core duo processor, 2GB RAM and 256GB hard drive.
    I've finally decided on getting a macbook pro and not the air. Also that 8GB RAM should be well enough for me.
    Now my next decision is whether or not to get the 256GB or the 512GB. On my current macbook I almost maxed out the 256GB until I totally cleaned out my hard drive, now have 80GB spare.
    The cheaper 256GB has 2.4GHz i5 processor, while the 512GB has a 2.6GHz i5 processor. Is there much difference with the processor?
    If there's not, I was thinking of just getting the 256GB macbook pro and buying an external hard drive if need be. Would this be a good idea?
    Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, thanks
    Also, I'm talking about a 13 inch MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Kristy,
    I wouldn't worry about the processor speed. The new one will be so much faster than your old one that you'll be more than happy with it. The bigger question is the SSD size. If you're careful with what you store on the machine, 256 will be enough. That said, if it were me, I'd probably go with the 512. I know some of the others on here are adamant about moving stuff off the main drive, but for me it's a matter of convenience. I like the extra storage, and for $300 I think it's worth it.
    You will want an external for backups though, and it's a good idea to have more than one.
