Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Retina
Hi, i am having troubles with my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.5 as the system perfomance is so slow and the applications have tendencies to crash all the time. Is there any way that I could sent it to Apple and actually upgrade it to a Macbook Pro Retina instead? If yes, would it make any difference (system performance wise)?
Thanks
Yes you can certainly get the new model. There is nothing stoppiing you from doing that.
Just sell your current MBP and then take that money and the extra needed and buy one of the new models.
Not sure why people keep posting this type of question.
You could also keep your current model and buy the new one. No one at the store will say "Don't you already own a MBP, so you can't buy a new one".
By the way Apple stores do not take trade ins. It is not a car dealership.

Macbook pro mid 2012 no retina performance drop after efi
Hi, mi macbook pro mid 2012 no retina after efi update the performance are too slow, thats is the same problem with retina, please fix it, in osx mountain lyon the aplications that used every daywith video is poor, in bootcamp with games is the same problem, the cpu clock drops from3.3 ghz to 1.2 ghz or more. Waiting for a mew efi update bescause my mac is the same that a macbook air
No Apple hasn't officially stated anything about this issue. After I updated to EFI Update 2.0 I noticed the issues and started doing my research and found people in the Macrumors forums having the same problems and eventually I was reading that users that didn't update yet weren't seeing the update in their updates meaning Apple pulled the update from the servers. Other users reported after calling Applecare that they were aware of the issue.

Hi
I purchased a MacBook Pro 15inch iris pro Retina display version (£1599) recently.
Can we upgrade tit with Nvidia graphics card?
ThanksIn USA, you can return a Mac within 14 days of purchase and buy a new one with the desired spec.

I got the following message after the crash, it happens a few times a day, my system is the base with 16gb ram late 2013 15" macbook pro retina. it only happens when i am connected to an external display, I do have a converter from vga to displayport. also, i run 4 different browsers in incognito mode as i do web testing and also have about 30 tabs open and excel and a few other apps open, not sure if this is what makes it happen or if it is the external display? it is under warranty, so if you see anything below that may relate to the hardware i can bring it in and get it fixed.

Interchanging MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina power adaptor
Hi,
We have both a MacBook Air 2014 and a Retina MacBook Pro in our home.
Is it safe to use the MBA charger with the MBP and vise versa?
Thanks.
TareqOK, this what Apple support told me.
I can use the MBP Retina charger with the MB Air for emergencies.
However, I should not use the MB Air charger with the MBP Retina.

Internal drive for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display from late 2013?
Hi everyone. After some water spillage to my new computer, the guys at the Apple Store have told me that my internal hard drive needs to be replaced. No other damage was done, thankfully. I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display from late 2013. The Apple genius said my current hard drive has flash storage, and that my new hard drive will need that as well as the computer requires it. Does anyone know where I can buy such a hard drive? Is it possible to buy it from Apple? I am happy to buy online or in a store (I live in Australia). Also, is this Mac Pro model difficult to take apart? I'd like to install the hard drive myself.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!From the specs:

My Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display crashes sometimes when connected to an external monitor
My almost-new Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display goes black and shuts down sometimes when connected to my external monitor. (The first time it did this was when connected to a projector.) They have replaced the motherboard but it still happens sometimes. The computer and monitor both come back on after a few seconds.

Does it worth to move from macbook pro to macbook pro retina?
Hey
I have macbook pro with
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
and its good but many people are saying macbook pro 2013 with retina display is the best laptop and has many features so do you advice me to move from macbook pro to macbook pro 2013 with retina display?
thankaIt's a very sweet machine, of course. Although the upgrade path is a bit dicey. Just my opinion, but unless you have very demanding graphics needs (in which case you probably should have a desktop system with a huge monitor), I don't see the point of spending all the money. Probably you would get more value if you take your current machine and max out the RAM and get an SSD.
It's hard to advise anyone in such matters via the internet.

Trying to decide between a Macbook air or Macbook Pro retina
I'm going to college in September and I'm trying to decide between a fully speced out Air or a Retina pro with upped RAM and CPU. My Dad recently got an air and I have played with it quite a bit and it feels really nice and portable, easy to carry around and use during breaks or to type up notes during a class. I would possibly use Photoshop on it at college (In my graphics design class) but I don't know if I will need to. The Retina display seems really awesome but I don't know whether or not to go for the pro, I would also like to play games on it however not too many (for example the something like skyrim). I also have a main gaming desktop which I would use for high intensity programs at home.
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air forums. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?
If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

HT204384 SD Card will not mount on Macbook Pro Mid 2012 (non-retina), tried everything
I am trying to use a PNY 4GB SD Card on my Macbook Pro Mid-2012 (non-retina), but I cannot get it to mount or for the Macbook to even see it's there. I read some people had success slightly pulling it out, pushing it in faster, cleaning the port, etc. which I have tried all of these, but to no avail.
Anybody have an idea?
Thanks,
-Justin B.Had problems reading SD cards after a Mountain Lion update. Try this XQuartz solution that fixed this for me. I'm using a 13" MBP mid-2012. All you have to do is install this programme and re-insert your SD card.
XQuartz no longer comes with new Macbooks, only X11.
See this support page from Apple on where you can download XQuartz.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can download Xquartz directly from here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
This should be the most up to date version. If not check for updates once you have downloaded it.
Simply re-insert your SD card and voila! -

MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display and SSD upgrade?
Looking to upgrade to a SSD in my MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display. Are there ones that work better in a MacBook Pro?
In theory at least, any SSD will work fine. There are some additional considerations to make, however. It mostly revolves around updating the drive's firmware. Many SSD companies do not offer Mac-friendly ways to perform this procedure. From the list Clinton provided, you can drop Corsair and Samsung immediately for this reason.
I would not consider OWC, Intel, or any SSD that uses a Sandforce chipset because of spotty reliability. Yes, improvements have been made, but I still do not trust them. Of the dozens of SSDs I've owned and deployed over the last 2-3 years, the only ones to need replacement were ones with Sandforce.
That leaves Crucial, Plextor, and OCZ. The former two basically use the same Marvell chipset. While I can't speak for Plextor, Crucial's firmware updates are OS agnostic. You simply down an .iso file, burn it to CD, boot from that disc, and perform the update. It works perfectly on a Mac. Doing a quick check of Plextor's support site, it seems the proedure is the same.
For OCZ, I'm only focusing on the Vector and Vertex 4. The former is brand new, having just hit the market within the last couple weeks. If you're looking to buy right now, I would stick with the Vertex 4 as it's a more proven commodity. OCZ has created a suite of tools that you copy to a USB flash drive. You can boot from it, and it takes you to what I think is a very heavily modified Linux distribution. From there, you can do a firmware update, check drive health, and perform a SATA secure erase to return the drive to its "out of the box" state. To get the most from the tools, you should have a USB mouse plugged in. Also, firmware updates require the use of a hard-wired Ethernet cable; you can't use wireless.
Bottom line - for an SSD upgrade, stick with Crucial, Plextor, or OCZ as they are the most Mac-friendly (aside from original Apple parts, of course).
