Macbook pro with retina difference in image quality of Pc(dell) and mac quality
Ok this is my dilemma. I have had a dell for about 5 years now never calibrated or anything(never even knew what that was).
So there are some photos I upload to my flickr account from my macbook and I looked at the same flickr account on my pc and the images were dull, lacked color.
I went to the apple store and they suggested that maybe i have been looking at the wrong quality all along from my pc lol!
I know flickr should not be the basis on how I view photos but even when I take one photo from the mac and view it on my pc regularly it still looks horrible.
Please help Im scared that when I give people their photos aside from print that the images on their flash drives will come out dull and lacking bold color.
Also I edit with photoshop.
Are you saving images with the correct color profile? Normally for web you would use sRGB. Make sure you are being consistent on Windows and Mac.
You can have a different working color space. For example I use Pro Photo RGB as the working space in both Lightroom and Photoshop, but I usually export in sRGB (web; email) or Adobe RGB (printing)

Is there a way to fix photoshop elements 11 from being pixelated on my new Macbook Pro Retina Display?

Since I have to get it fixed and I'm a college student and need my laptop asap, I just want to know how long it will take for my screen to get fixed so I can go back to doing my work.
No one here could possibly know... you'll have to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP to even begin to get an idea as to how much time it could take to fix your machine.
I had to wait 10 days just to get fans replaced on my old MacBook Pro...

I can't seem to figure out how to burn my imovie to a dvd. I have an external optical superdrive and blank dvds. Is there a way to do it without downloading lots of other apps/software? I bought a macbook instead of pc because I wanted the video/photo editing, I'll be disappointed if there isn't a convinent way to turn them into a hard copy dvd to share with family and friends.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display
Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display
I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP. it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels. Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina. Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality? Thanks.
Doesn't matter. All HDMI cables should work, some are considered better than others, I had a $5 ebay cable work just as good as a $20 monster HDMI cable.

I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.
Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

Picture Slide Show - Macbook Pro with retina display
Is the Macbook Pro with retina display capable of doing picture slide shows with music, or do I have to purchase additional software?
The only benefit that the Retina has over the standard MacBook Pro is the display. It is slightly thinner (and lighter), but with the 13" model, the difference is fairly minimal. If you're comfortable carrying the Retina, you'd be fine carrying the MB Pro as well. Also, for all intents and purposes, while the display on the standard MB Pro is not a Retina display, it is still one of the best displays on the market and will easily provide a better image quality than most displays in similarly classed laptops. Another thing to consider is that both the 13" Retina and standard MBP have only an integrated HD4000 GPU. This is a fairly low power graphics processor built into the CPU. It can easily run the display on the standard MB Pro, but it can sometimes struggle with the Retina as there are several times more pixels to drive.
So...
13" MacBook Pro Retina: Fantastic display, slightly thinner/lighter
13" MacBook Pro: Not at the same level as the Retina, but still an excellent display. Slightly thicker, but as you said, you get an optical drive as well. Memory and storage are easily upgradable. As Kappy mentioned, the get a faster processor as well. -
Macbook Pro vs Macbook Pro with retina display
Hi,
I'm getting a new laptop in december and I'm trying to figure out wich one I should buy. Here are my two options:
Macbook Pro (non retina)
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display
And
Macbook Pro (with retina)
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB Flash Storage
I use a ableton live and logic (a lot) with many plug-ins and final cut for some basic video editing. I was wondering if the processor is good enough and if the RAM is gonna be a factor.
I also heard that having only one stick of ram is not as good as having two.
The hard drive is not really an issue because I keep most of my stuff in external hard drives.
Thanks a lot.In reality the Retina display isn't that really noticeably better than a high resolution display, we compared them side by side ourselves.
The difference is the non-Retina has a anti-glare option, uses less power, can be upgraded by the user later, can play cd/dvd's, the optical drive replaced with another drive for more storage, more RAM added and first and foremost, runs a heck of a lot cooler and has no screen image issues like the Retina displays have.
If you search these forums and online, you'll see what I mean about these Retina displays, ghosting, spots etc. apparently a problem with LG Retina displays and Apple is in competition with Sam Sung but they make the better Retina displays.

So you won't know what you'll get in the box, but you can find out.

Should I get a 13" or 15" Macbook Pro with retina laptop?
I, FINALLY, after one year of wanting to get a new laptop to use as my primary computer replacing my desktop computer at home.........have decided to switch gears from a Windows computer to a MACBOOK PRO with RETINA laptop. It's not an easy decision when you are spending SO much money on something you hope will last a long time as I do NOT plan on getting a new laptop once I buy this one for a very long time (until it breaks / can no longer function)!
My dilemma now is whether to go with the high end 13" Macbook Pro OR get a similar if not higher end 15" Macbook Pro. Here's background on myself and what I plan on using the laptop for:
I plan on using it as my new primary computer for home so primarily for my personal use, but I will be using it also for work so I will be using it for basically EVERYTHING!
I will use it to do word processing (MS Word), to do my finances (reconcile my bank stmts/accounts), using MS Excel for accounting work, check my emails, research the Internet, photo editing (pretty much basic, definitely not advanced) and creating slideshows with my photos/music, downloading/playing music. I do not plan on using it to play any games.
I use alot of MS Office / Excel and some Powerpoint - either for work or home.
I need alot of storage space for photos (recreational - up to 400 per vacation trip) and I plan on creating slideshows with the photos using Apple's great photo/video/slideshow apps! At last count, I had about 100GB of photo files.
I also need alot of storage for my music files - I have @ least 12GB of music right now and am always downloading more each year.
I plan on taking it with me outside of home only on the weekends for the most part like to a cafe (Starbucks) or library, but not for anything further than that (not for travel as I will just take my ipad).
I know it's only ~1lb difference in weight, but a couple of my concerns is since it will be my primary home computer (i.e.I'll be using it in the evenings/on the weekends and probably more (since it's an Apple!) to work on photos/slideshows, if the screen size difference will matter in the longrun in terms of having any impact on my vision (not sure if the 2" will make a difference in that). I'm only 45yo, but I do worry about that! I tried both the 13" and 15" in the Apple store and the only difference I saw was that the 15" screen allowed you to have multiple programs visible on the screen side by side, but viewing the actual programs was the same (in size). I don't really view programs side by side right now (I use the ALT-TAB shortcut alot to view multiple programs I have open at once), but I could see how having programs viewable side by side could come in handy.
I had a Toshiba 17" laptop before that was too HEAVY to lug around even if on the weekend so I no longer want a heavy laptop and want something more portable to take with me on my weekend excursions to the local cafe/library which basically means going from home to car and car to location at most, but when I go to use the restroom, I like to take it with me (do not feel safe leaving it behind on table) so I don't want it too heavy.
I do plan on getting me a Western Digital external hard drive to backup ALL my files yet since I plan on keeping the computer for as long as it'll hold up, I want to make sure I have alot of storage to keep up with me. I like the flashdrive component because there are fewer moving parts so less likely to have problems in the long run and given that (despite my need for alot of storage), I'll backup my photos/music to external drives should I end up maxing out on my storage.
I value your opinions, please help me DECIDE!!!!! I'm frustrated and it's driving me nuts!!! I know it's too much to ask, but if they had a 14", I would probably go with it! A 2" difference seems pretty big. :-)
THANK YOU!!!Thanks guys. I'm set on the 15" now and am now deciding on whether I should go with the standard MBP or the MBP with retina display? I'm not an advanced photographer, but I do like to take alot of photos especially when travelling and I do plan on creating slideshows with my photos synched with music. I don't think I'd be one to really be able to tell the difference between a retina vs. non-retina screen given that since I can't really tell the difference between a tv screen with vs. without HD. So for me, I don't think it'd be about the retina display at all. It is more about the storage capacity AND the fact that I hear with the retina/flash storage, that there are less apt to have problems down the road so a more sturdy a machine. Given I take alot of photos/will be creating slideshows wth my photos, and downloading/playing music, I'm thinking the standard MBP might be better storage-wise. But also given I plan on keeping this laptop for a long time (basically, until it breaks or becomes too slow to function productively), that makes me want to go the retina/flash storage route. SIGH.
Should I not be so concerned about the longevity of the machine, but rather opt for the one with more storage? -
13" Macbook Pro with retina or MacBook Air?
Hello All,
This is my first post to this forum and I need an advice for buying my first MacBook ever. The time has come that I have decided to invest into a Mac and have always been a PC user until now. I was planning to buy the 13" 256GB version (1500 USD). My goal is to learn coding (JavaScript, PHP/MySQL, and HTML, Drupal for Web design) on the bust commute, with little to none intention of doing gaming on the machine. But plan to watch video/tutorial files, movies etc.
But I am reading some concerning reviews/complaints of people about the MacBook Pro with Retina series and I want to know whether the latest version (as of today, Feb 21st, 2014) of rMBP is problematic. Here is what I have learned about the existing issues so far and I would like if folks here could give me a piece of advice which one should I choose (Air vs Pro)?:
1) The trackpad/system sudden freeze;
2) The image retention/persistence problem;
2) Overheating when watching a video;
Honestly, I feel disappointed that Apple computers are having so many issues.
Are these issues still a problematic as of today for rMBP? Will the heating be problematic fo watching a movie for 1-2 hrs? Is it better to go with the air rather?
Please advise!
Thanks.
FrankAlso, would the applecare be strongly recommended for my situation?

Macbook Pro with retina 13-inch - should I have gone for the 15?
Hi I recently bought a 13-inch Macbook pro with retina display. I am delighted with it. My main usage is
1.Word processing - this is what I basically use it for (translating, text editing, heavy email)
2. Examining photos to see if they are suitable for publication - don't need any special software
3. Browsing the web (a lot!)
4. Plan to learn In Design (software) so I can help out my colleagues. (Nothing too intensive, maybe 3-4 pages a month).
5. Watching movies and listening to music while on the go (or even at home)
6. Using Parallel for Windows 7 (3-4 applications only)
I heard that the 15-inch one is more powerful. Did I make a good choice or should I have bought the 15-inch one. It seemed a bit heavy for me at the time I saw it but no-one told me it was so much more powerful. I have the basic late 2012 model with 128GB SSD but also have a light 1TB hard drive and superdrive.
Please reassure me that I have not made the wrong decision but if you think I have, then tell me. I am a first-time Mac user, and coming from a Vaio X (which recently died) the power of this thing seems awesome!!That MacBook Pro is perfect for you, and I don't think that you need a 15-inch MacBook Pro, even if it's more powerful than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. There are some important differences between the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and the 15-inch MacBook Pro, like the graphic card or the processor, but if that MacBook works properly, continue using it
