Macbook Pro's display have weird lines
Hey everyone,
I have a macbook pro (15-inch, Early 2011), sometimes horizontal and vertical lines randomly show up on my screen (photo below)! I' ve notice that happen when I have photoshop and illustrator opened. Is graphics card problem? Any thoughts? Thanks
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB
i have the same problem. and i saw on apple website https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/, that they have opened a replacement program for it. so i sent my macbook pro to an authorized apple service provider. website : http://www.ishop.com.gh/
and they asked me to pay $1000 bucks before they will replace the motherboard.

Does MacBook Pro Retina Display have light sensor?
I bought a skin protactor for my Retina Display MacBook Pro, and the auto brightness doesn't seem to be working automatically. I was wondering if it has any light sensor, like MacBook Pro, and if it does then where would it be.
Yes, it does. It's located somewhere beneath the keyboard.

Unibody Macbook Pro 17inch Display problems, vertical lines and artifacting
Hey everybody
I bought my 17inch MBP at B&H in June (week before WWDC, D'oh) and it was working fine until I came over to Ireland to work on a editing job for the summer, as soon as I attached it via mini display to a second monitor I started getting artifacts and vertical lines in certain shades and colours on the macbooks display, its gradually gotten worse so much so in fact that it is nearly unusable.
I have seen the thread about the firmware update, but my computer is already up to date with that but it still has this problem, I contacted apple and was told to take it to the apple store and the genius bar in Belfast, as helpful as the rep was he told me it would be two weeks for a repair, by replacing the logic board. Which I just can't do as I've only got three weeks left on the job and need my mac every day. I've searched and it seems no-one is having this problem except me since the firmware update, but clearly my machine still has problems.
Never had a problem with all my previous Mac's but I'm close to tossing this in the bin please help because if I can't get this solved I will have to move to PC and install my copy of AVID on it as this is the only other available computers at this production company.
What to do? Has anyone else had this problem recently? Or know of a fix for it? I've tried everything downloaded the firmware told me its already installed, switched the graphics displays etc etc
Please help
Thanks

It sounds like there is a hardware problem of some sort with the graphics chips, and the only real fix is going to be to replace the logic board. So at some point, you will have to send your Mac off for repair.
In the US, you can sometimes arrange to get a loaner. You might ask if this would be possible where you are, since the repair is going to take so long.
Unfortunately, I don't know of anything that would fix your problem other than a repair.
Good luck! -
Will my macbook pro retina display have problems later on?
Okay so I was eating salmon and had a small lemon wedge. I was putting the lemon on the salmon and some of the lemon juice got on the key board. I immediately cleaned it afterwards. I used cotton balls and q tips. I even look up on to remove the keys and cleaned it that way too. also the next day I got a alcohol wipe and wiped the key board too. The lemon juice had only a few droplets and mostly on the gray part of the computer. Maybe like 1-2 drops we in between the keys but right after i cleaned it with a absorbent cloth. Pleaseeee let me know if my macbook will have corrosion or something even worst! I am freaking out!
You're asking a question that nobody can answer.
Keep a good thought!
Good luck! -
I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display
I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
-Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
-Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
-Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

<Edited by Host>If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange. If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.

Magenta dotted vertical line 7.2cm from right-edge of Macbook Pro Retina display
There is a magenta-colored dotted vertical line 7.2cm from right-edge of Macbook Pro Retina display.
It is most prominent on a solid dark gray or blue background.
Just wanting to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Have requested a replacement. Laptop is 2 days old.Here a short follow-up on this issue. I called Apple about this problem. I need to get the laptop to an ASP for display exchange. The ASP said ordering new parts and repair will take around two days. At least this is good news.
Apple would have only sent a new laptop within a 14 day grace period after delivery. As soon as your out of this time you'll only get repairs. -
my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair. -
I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?
I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.
If all else fails, try this. i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better. -
Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s). Am I going to have to buy an external CD/DVD player to load this one program:(
I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

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.
