Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display, screen issue since most recent update.

I had the software update downloaded on my Macbook Pro with Retina display for awhile, and finally got around to installing it. Once I installed it my screen had a little twitch where my screen would look normal but the top of the screen the finder bar, with the wifi icon, battery icon, spotlight icon would also appear on the bottom of the screen yet everything above it appeared normal. I reinstalled os x lion and it was fixed but their are now little black horizontal lines all across my screen, the resolution is fine enough to use but I'm wondering why these lines appear. The lines sometimes go away, also sometimes when I open my laptop my screen has a ultraviolet greenish, purple tint to it that goes away after awhile of sitting. I've determined that my screen is an LG screen and I know they have issues. I was wondering if anyone had the same issues to this and possibly a fix? The laptop was purchased July/2012.

Hello, did you solve your problem? I have now something like you with my Macbook Pro Retina :-/

  • Tiny white spot on MacBook Pro With Retina Display Screen

    I bought my MacBook Pro with retina display on July 10,2012 It has been working fine but then, I noticed a white spot on the left side of the screen. It's real tiny, proably not even an inch big but I can see it. Other peole have not been able to see it, But I can. I spoke to AppleCare, they said to mail it in to have them look at it since I don't live near an Apple Store. But is it really worth sending my computer in for something that is so small? It is also too late to return my computer.
    P.S I think and so does AppleCare, that it is a dead pixel
    Should I send it in? Has anyone ever mailed in their computer to Apple before? What is it like? Is it a good or bad experiance? How long does it take for you to get it back?
    Thank You!

    I think we have the same issue. I bought my Macbook rpo retina last sept 2012. I jsut discovered it recently as I often watch Tv shows on my ipad3. I happened to watch a tv show in my mbpr lately and saw this tiny white flickering dot on the top left corner of my display. I see it only intermittently meaning in some instances you see it sometimes not. It only happens when in full screen using QT player. If I minimize it and back to ful scrn, the dot disappears. After few mins it may or may not show up.
    I brought it to apple customer service and they cant  duplicate the issue. I told them its random and they should wait for it. They said theyve been watching tv shows in full scrn for 2 days already and it didnt happen. I even showed them  video clips - I record the tiny dot flickering using my iPhone - but still they cant reproduce the issue. After I brought it back home, I immediately watch a TV show and see it once again. It dosappears once you minimize it and returning to full scrn mode the flickering disappears.
    So I thought Why would it disappear once I minimize it? If its hardware then it should be there all the time! and so I use VLC player instead to check if it would happen as well. for sevral days, I used vlc player to watch all movies/videos and IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL! There is no tiny white dot flickering with VLC! and so I thought maybe this is firmware or driver...and so when the macbook pro has an update recently about 2.0 something...I thought it would resolve the issue but it didnt.
    I have inserted a copy of the flickering tiny white dot...

  • Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

    Hello,
    Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
    I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
    My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
    On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
    http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
    (Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
    Please fix this issue.
    Andrey

    Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

  • Small scratch on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display Screen

    I was cleaning the retina display screen of my MacBook Pro when I discovered that there is a very small scratch on the screen. I have had my MacBook Pro with Retina Display for about four months and honestly its my most cared for item. I look after it with every fibre of my being, I am actually a little OCD when it comes to looking after it. I don't even leave the house until I know its in a safe place and nobody else is allowed near it. I am really annoyed that it's scratched and I really have no idea how it happened. I know its only a tiny scratch but its starting to bug me and I am now aware of its presence every time I start up my Mac. Is there anything I can do about this? Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

    For a precise quote, you will have to take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar.  If you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com, they will have parts prices which should give you a rough estimate of the costs.
    Ciao.

  • 2013 Macbook Pro 15" Retina Display Trackpad issues

    Hello everyone, ive been googling everywere to fix this problem, but everytime i plug in my iPhone or my iPad or leave my mac alone for a couple minutes and come back (no screensaver or anything) the touch pad doesnt respond unless i keep tapping it rapidly...when i searched on google for this issues, its all for the mid-2012 models...I checked in >>About Mac and it says "Early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15" I bought this computer brandnew from apple last week and its in PERFECT CONDITION and no drops or falls. This issue is very annoying since I'm a developer and always plugging in my devices to my Macbook...any ideas or same issues?

  • My Macbook Pro with Retina display screen keeps flickering a ghost screen.

    My Macbook is a year and a half old, and has never been dropped or damaged.  A few months ago, the screen started flickering.  Not like off and on, but a ghost screen would flicker on top of what I was doing.  It is usually the same window that I have present, but just like half of it for a millisecond.  It is very annoying and is unpredictable.  It usually happens for hours every few seconds.  What should I do to fix this?  I try to take a screen shot to post but it either happens too fast or is not possible to record.

  • How can I see who made my Macbook Pro with Retina Display screen?

    Hello,
    I've read that the LG display burns into the screen. I've done the thing in Terminal "ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6" and all it says is Color LCD. Am I doing something wrong? Or does it not say?
    Thanks

    Hello again. Just to be clear, I want to know how to find out if Samsung or LG made my screen.
    Thanks again!!!

  • How to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I'm a non-tech guy. Well, I'm familiar with Windows PCs but not familiar with Macbook Pros and OS X.
    Please if you people can step me step by step that how to Install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display 15 inch.
    Because recently, Apple released OS X Update 10.8.3 which includes support for Windows 8 in Boot Camp.
    I will be very thankful. Please help!
    Thanks

    Hi Mende1,
    Thanks for the fastest reply. Well, As I said I'm non tech noob on Macbook Pro.
    Well, The Guide is simple but there are few questions which I'm not able to understop still.
    1. How to get the copy of Windows 8? I have bought Windows 8 Ultimate and I have Genuine Key with me but I don't have files.
    2. Secondly, I have Bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse, Is this compatible with Windows 8?
    Thanks

  • I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • Screen burn-in/ghosting on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

    I have had my 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display for a little over a year now I and I have started to notice that when I am on a mostly white webpage for a few minutes, and then switch to a darker page, there is an obvious screen burn-in/ghosting.  Is this something that can be fixed?  It's not accidentaly damage, it's a manufacturing problem.
    My warranty recently expired.  Will I have to pay for repair costs even though this is Apple's fault and not mine? If so, how much could I expect to pay? Is there any way to extend my warranty? How much does that cost?

    Just got my second MBPR 13, and it cames again with the not welcome and clear "feature" of IR
    When I try to check for the display model with he command
    ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
    I got this output
    @.`0 6
    Color LCD
    Later I checked it in the colorSync utility
    Manufacturer: 00000610
    Model: 0000A020
    Manufacture Date:CD238700
    Not sure if its Samsung or LG, but honestly I dont care, I just want a not faulty display in my new expensive laptop.
    Now Im thinking to return it again and Im really paste after waiting for almost a month to receive this second and also defective laptop (I bought it in the online store, 1TB, 16RAM, I7).
    Should I return it again? Im thinking that even if the 14 days expires, since I have the waranty,they fix it anytime within the 3 years apple care waranty.
    Should I play the lotery?

  • MacBook Pro with retina display having a ghosting issues

  • Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the  dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash.  If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
    I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR.  Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep.  If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep. 
    I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR.  I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
    Tom

    Thanks for responding.  Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery .  Other sound effects play promptly.  I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.
