Maverick reports wrong MacBook Pro model/screen

After upgrading my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15" (non-Retina, 1680x1050) to Mavericks, Sysinfo reports a MacBook Pro 13" with a 17" screen. Curious.

I have the same issue with my 15'' Mac Book Pro.
I ordered a privacy filter for my "13 inch Mac Book Pro" and the filter did not fit.
That's when I noticed System info reports a 13'' Mac Book Pro with a 15'' screen.

    1. The scrolling, as far as I've been able to determine, is by using the slide bar to the right of most diplays. There are no up or down arrows that allow slow movement
    2. The top and botton toolbars are not visible. The top one appears when you point the arrow to the top of the screen but the same doesn't work well if at all pointing the cursor to the bottom.
    3. When downloading, something jumps to the upper right of the screen. I could point and click it and get a diplay if my downloads. I was attempting to fix some of the above. Now the little thing jumps off the screen and I can't get to it.
    4I was trying to installMacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.3. I got message it couldn't be installed on my system.
    5. The red yellow and blue bullets that allow shutting down, minimizing and maximizing are missing on most open windows.
    Can you do something about these problems
    It's problematical that one can't communicate directly with Apple to resolve these problems
    <Edited By Host>

    1: I'm scrolling this page right now using the arrow keys.
    2: Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Select Apple menu > Dock > Turn Hiding Off.
    3: ???
    4: That's because you downloaded an update for another model.
    5: See 2.

  • My macbook pro model A1226 doesn't boot up and the screen is black, ived try all reset commands with no luck, or try to go in safe mode, and nothing, please help

    Help please, my macbook pro model A 1226 doesn't boot up, i hear the optical drive sound starting but no screen light or booting sound, ive'd tried all redet commands, and safe mode but no luck, can anyone give me an solution to my problem. Tnx

    It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
    Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
    Good luck,

  • What is the most current MacBook Pro model that has a Matte screen?

    What is the most current MacBook Pro model that supports a native Matte screen?
    I love Mac's but due to substantial eye strain with the glossy screens, I must use a Matte Screen laptop. Many thanks!

    There are none in production at this time.  I suspect it was the 15" 2012 model.  I do know the 2011 15" and 17" MBPs had that option.
    Ciao.

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • Macbook Pro dark screen after disconnecting from Cinema Display

    Dear all,
    the issue I am having:
    - after disconnecting from Cinema display (having first put my Macbook Pro in "sleep" mode) I just ca't make the Macbook pro scren show anything....black display
    - but is it really asleep? NO!!! It just STILL believes it's connected to the Cinema Display
    That's what I though was happening, so I thought: "if I now plug in the thunderbolt-to-VGA dongle that I use for the videoprojector then the screen might come back... and.... Voilá! It comes back, BUT starts flickering until in the end it just dissappears....
    I can reproduce the error all the time. Worse than that: a reboot does not help at all.
    Looks like there is an internal hardware switch that must be left "engaged" and then the Mac just believes it is connected to an External screen and sends the signal though the thuderbolt port instead of through the screen!!!
    WEIRD error/bug or whatever!!
    I have no idea how to make this reach the Apple guys.... I tried to report a Bug but they asked me to join in as Apple developer which I just can't do (for working issues).
    Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and whether Apple is taking care of it?
    (this reminds me of an issue with an internal switch with the headphones in my old MacBook Pro.... after disconnecting the headphones, the internal switch was not being disengaged, so sound would NEVER come out as it was being sent to the headphones instead of to the speakers... Same problem here but with the Image??? :-((( )
    Thanks a lot.

    Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
    Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
    Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro, Model A1278

    I am having 2 issues:
    - Lagging when opening applications
    The dock animations are lagged. Occasionally I will get a lag if I open both Firefox and Safari. My cursor will lag but I won't get a "beach ball/pinwheel."
    - Brightness of screen will change on it's own
    The brightness of my screen will change on it's own-- I have yet to relate it to anything I am doing. This happens when I am running on battery and when I am using the power cord. I haven't found any solutions on this forum.

    Alright, I have gone in to the Genius Bar TWICE now. The first time, they blamed it on the RAM and replaced it. Then they blamed it on my case so I took it off. The second time, they couldn't find anything wrong with it so they told me to re-install Snow Leopard.
    I had to call Apple to get a replacement disk to re-install my OS, HOWEVER, I can't do it. I want to throw my macbook against the wall at this point. Can anybody help me by looking at the attached screenshot?
    I don't understand how I can go from my iBook (which is still kicking and running just fine) to this Macbook Pro that is more trouble than not.

    Hi!
    I have just insalled OS X Mavericks to my MacBook Pro 2012 and it keep crashing (gray screen appears and mac reboots) after few minutes of work. It works in Safe mode though.

    Around Christmas time I upgraded to Mavericks and the system is incredibly slow since then (rainbow ball...). It'd be very thankful for any hint on how to make my MacBook usable again.
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    You need more RAM. I know the specs for Mavericks say 2GB. Mavericks will run with 2, but it won't run well. Especially if you are running virtualization software.
    Otherwise not much is suspicious on your report.
    you could try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). This does some diagnostic testing and then starts up without third-party added on software. If your Mac runs faster, then you know the problem is with the third-party software. A safe boot doesn't fix anything, but it tells you where the problem is. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    if the safe boot does run faster, then I'd suspect

    google keystone agent (another frequent flyer). HOWTO: Remove Google Software Update on Mac OS X - Raam Dev

  • Which Retina MacBook Pro Model to Buy?

    Hi everyone!
    I am studying engineering and are about to buy a new notebook. I have been using macs since 2008, so that is an obvious choice. I am also sick of my hard drive, so I want SSD models for sure. And I have tried out the retina models and I am certain I want one of those. Beyond that I am hesitant which one to buy.
    I am an engineering college student. Here is what I need it for:
    - mostly everyday stuff
    - I don't mind if I can edit a full HD video conveniently on it once in a while, I don't mind however if I have to wait 3 minutes longer for it to export a video
    - I regularly have to do some CAD editing (that would be done under windows) this is however merely stuff that are needed for college, so we are not talking about entire power plants with billions of parts being loaded onto the screen, but rather smaller constructions
    - I never play video games. Somehow I don't feel the need, so that's not a factor for me whatsoever
    - I have tested the 13 and 15 for wheight, and I find the 15 to be fairly light too, so I don't think portability is a major issue with either machine
    However performance-wise I can't decide.
    For the activities listed above should I go for 15 or would a 13 suffice? I am aware of the imminent upgrades, and OS X Mavericks as well.
    Thanks for your advice.

    Not sure you know this but you can put a SSD in any standard computer, including all Macbook Pro models. Nothing new about that. It is just Apple doesn't offer the standard MBP with a SSD as standard equipment. A SSD can be included during the ordering process or you can install one yourself. An even better option is to install one of the hybrid SSD+Rotating HDD being offered by Seagate. It combines the speed of a SSD and the storage space of a conventional HDD for much less than a real SSD.

  • What is the problem with 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 after connecting to TV with HDMI chord?

    Today we connected a 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 with HDMI chord to an Insigna Television. We plugged and unplugged couple of times. But recently the macbook pro is having technical issues. The following symptoms are:
    1. Macbook pro turns on and off
    2. The screen stays blue and keeps loading but does not load to the desktop so you can't access to anywhere
    3. The screen sometimes becomes fuzzy and the apple logo that shows before it loads to the desktop is fuzzy
    4. Sometimes fuzzy lines appear on the screen like you see on television when there's a bad signal
    5. The screen stays blue
    6. Sometimes little specks appear on the screen
    Only thing we did was turn it off and restart but it still leads to the same symptoms above.
    Does anyone have any clue what caused this problem? I am guessing it is due to the connection to the HDMI chord, since we didn't turn the macbook on and off when we plugged it, rather we just unplugged and plugged the chord while the macbook is running.
    Another theory might be watching movies from an online source but the first theory seems to make more sense.
    We scheduled a meeting with the genius bar tomorrow but does anyone might have any clue? And also any ideas how to fix this? This is an emergency because there are important files on the macbook we didn't back up and we hope the files are safe and we need to use the macbook ASAP. Let us know anything that might have caused this and/or any solutions or help. That would be appreciated and thank you.

    Hey there! Welcome to the Discrete GPU issue clube ... post your relate here >>> 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
    And for GOD SAKE! Call Apple to tell them that you're another user with such problem ...  that action can improve a future recall. BTW the fix price for your problem is around U$ 1000,00 ... that's the meaning of the recall attempt

  • I would like to upgrade my Macbook Pro Model A1278.

    Hi,
    I would like to upgrade RAM and hard drive memory on my Macbook Pro Model A1278, but I'm not sure what is the maximum RAM I can install and what is the maximum hard drive memory I can install if its even doable. Also, which are the parts I should buy to upgrade the RAM and hard drive memory (if its doable).
    Currently my macbook runs a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor; 3 MB shared level 2 cache, 2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 160GB 5400-rpm hard drive, its a 13'' laptop, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, it currently has MAC OS X version 10.6.8.
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    The largest hard drive you can install is a 1.5 TB drive from Hitachi (HGST.)
    You can find memory at OWC, DataMem, or Crucial.com. OWC also sells suitable hard drives, toolkits, and online tutorials.
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

    I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
    I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
    thanks in advance..

    You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

  • Facebook games won't work after Maverick install on MacBook Pro

    I just installed Maverick on my MacBook Pro, it is a mid 2009 model.  Ever since when I get on Facebook with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, I can"t get any of the games to load.  Everything worked just fine last night before the install, but now I am at a loss as what to do to fix this problem, short of wiping the HD and starting back over in Snow Leopard.
