My MBP Retina gets very confused when I plug in/unplug external monitors. Is this normal?

I've noticed my MBP Retina is more easily confused than my old MBP when using external monitors.
The problems occur after unplugging from an external monitor. Unless I actually re-start the computer, the resolution in some apps (e.g. Safari) fails to revert to retina quality. I am often left with the toolbar and windows so far off the laptop screen that it is impossible to reach them and the OS is unusable (have to restart). And just now the machine went into a strange fit where it kept powering on and off the displays every few seconds, apparently unable to decide what mode to be in. Again, I had to restart.
Is it normal to expect that I would have to restart the machine when moving between external monitor/laptop only combinations?
All these effects are fairly intermittent (although very frequent) so could be hard to reproduce at the Genius bar.

Faint but regular clicks/pops in MBP (Quad Core 2011, 2.0) headphone output

I've seen some scattered posts about this. In my case it's definitely not the motion sensor as it happens if the computer is totally still. I can hear it with the audio turned all the way down and no applications running. It happens every 30 seconds or so-- there's a sharp click followed by a faint electrostatic hum for maybe a second or so. I'm sending it in to have it evaluated. I noticed it immediately upon setting it up for the first time. I reinstalled Snow Leopard and reset the PRAM, neither of which helped. If I install one of my audio interfaces (Saffire DSP Pro or M-Audio FW 410 but still using the Core Audio driver) it does not pass through the firewire to the device. Anyone else having this issue? My old MBP (first gen 2.0 GHz Intel w/CoreDuo) does not display this symptom.

Took my MBP into the Genius Bar and got a replacement and the new machine (out of the box and running Lion, whereas the first one was among the last to ship with SL) behaves identically. I'm wondering if this is a feature, as I'm just now realizing that what I'm hearing may be the audio driver or headphone jack periodically switching on and off. I can make the click happen by doing anything that calls on the core audio driver. This may be clicking on a song in iTunes or even switching between tabs in Firefox if one of them has a lot of streaming content. The click is followed by a little bit of hiss; then, if I do nothing, there's another click maybe 30 seconds later and the headphone port goes completely silent. The 'hiss' is, I suspect, just the normal background noise on the output. When there's actual sound being output (a song, flash video, QT playback etc) there are no clicks or other artifacts. Likewise if I listen to the headphone output for 10-15 mins while doing nothing else (big fun, let me tell you).
If that's what's happening it's an annoyance but not the end of the world. I can't think of a good reason why it should behave like this (i.e. to save power or otherwise redirect resources) and it reeks of crappy hardware or coding, but if it's not affecting the actual headphone or firewire audio output when sound is happening I can live with it.
I could be totally off the mark and for all I know tomorrow it could be doing the above and clicking randomly during audio playback. Curious to know if anyone else who is having this symptom sees the same pattern.
Cheers.

Magic mouse delay in scrolling

When I scroll through pages in pdf documents, there is a definite response delay, which is very annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?

No. There is no scroll ball; the cursor movement is controlled through the sensor in the bottom (near the green light).
Is that green light showing as on? You could try cleaning the sensor with a damp, not wet, cotton bud and white vinegar. Disconnect the batteries first.
Here are Apple's formal notes on your problem.

Magic Mouse not connecting to MBP after Sleep or Re-start

This has been an on going problem for me since I upgraded to OSX 10.8 on my MBP. Since the upgrade my Magic Mouse will no longer connect to my MBP after it has gone to sleep, restarted or shut down. The only way I have been able to get a connection is to Click on the BT icon goto the mouse>Open Preferances. At this point the computer is 'Waiting for a Bluetooth mouse to be discovered' and it will keep searching forever. Clicking on the mouse button or moving the mouse around does not do anything even though the green light on the bottom of the mouse indicates it is on & attempting communication. I have to turn the mouse off for 3-5 seconds and then turn the mouse back on. This is the only way for the computer to see the mouse, I then click connect the mouse connects and all is good until the computer sleeps, gets restarted or shut down.
I have tried resetting the PRAM & SMC. I have also deleted the mouse from bluetooth preferances and re-paired it with the computer several times. I even tried deleting the PList and re-pairing but nothing yet has worked!
Open to any and all suggests! PLEASE help!

Hi,
I have a mid 2014 15 inch MacBook Pro and I'm experiencing now the same issue. I have an iPad and an iMac and the issue is only with the MacBook Pro.
I went to System Preferences > Network > Wi - Fi and selected 'Ask to join new networks'. It didn't remove completely the issue (is still not finding the network) but at least I don't have to turn the wifi on and off all the time because after a while is able to connect.

Magic Mouse on Parallels 6

Hi,
Before buying a magic mouse for my MBP, I was wondering if I could also use it for the Windows 7 I have running through parallels 6. Would all the features of the mouse work??
Thanks

I have an old MBP, and I also have a Magic Mouse. When I boot my machine using BootCamp, some of the features of the Magic Mouse don't work (forward/backward swipes, etc.) but the core functions (left & right click, scroll up, down, left, right) all work fine. When I boot the BootCamp partition under Parallels v6, all of the mouse features I use under MacOS also work under Windows 7.

Connecting new quad core macbook pro to external monitor

How would one go about connecting the new MacBook Pro to an external HD monitor? "The Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4." Does this mean it won't work with the quad core? I'd like to set up another monitor with my new 15 inch laptop and Screen Recycler isn't really doing the trick, tried with with a 24 inch imac and it was terrible quality. Please help, thanks.

I have a mid year 2010 17" MBP and needed to do the same thing.
I got a mini-DVI port adaptor to HDMI, and connected it to my stereo - so I could watch on big flat screen TV and hear 5.1 sound via surround speakers, works great. I down load missed episodes of castle and stuff and watch them all in HD. (Via ITUNES).
The catch, most mini port cables - do not carry both video and audio, even if HDMI and even if they say they do! After buying the wrong cable at the local apple affiliate, I learned there are only two that did work.
(even thought the packaging said they carried sound, the cable in fact was not recognized by the sound drivers, so no sound through Mac X (Snow Leopard). I got the second cable form Moshi, and it worked instantly.
NO problems since, at all.
So does the port work with the quad duo core chip? Yes to I5, and yes to I7. My IPAD has I5, and my MBP has I7. It's a dual core, virtual quad core, and it's works beautifully.

Is possible to pair magic mouse to one and only Mac?

Question is in the title. I have two MBP and mac mini which i want to be permanently connected with magic mouse, problem is when mac mini is sleeping and somebody works with one of the MBPs it allways take connection of magic mouse, then i have problems after starting Mac mini and it do not want to connect to mice, thank fora any advice

Yes, Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > on the machines you want to remove it from (MBP).
Highlight the mouse in the list to the left and click the "-" icon below the list to unpair it.
The mouse will only connect to machines that it has been paired with and appear in the list above.

What is best mac mini for easy video editing? Late 2012 quad-core or late 2014 double core?

Hi!
I want to buy Mac mini and don't know which one is best for me. Please don't tell me to buy anything else, because it is my choise. I only need to know what is better:
Upgradable late 2012 version with quad core i7, 2.3GHz, 8gb of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4000
or
Non-upgradable late 2014 version with dual core i5, 2.6 GHz, 8 gb of RAM and Iris graphic card.
I do short videos with a few effects, transactions, fades, titles, sometimes add CC. So which Mac mini do you recommend, guys?

as a windows/premiere user i can only speak to the hardware. 8gb ram in either should be fine for short & simple projects. the i7 is alot better, however the hd graphics 4000 is not as good as the iris and may require running the mercury engine as software only. this means no using the video card to help premiere run faster. anything outside of premiere using the cpu for day to day tasks would also appreciate the i7. depending on the model of the iris graphics, it may be a couple times faster than the hd 4000 and therefore might work in premiere. according to adobe it lists the Intel Iris Graphics 5100 and 5200 as working System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro if you get into other adobe apps, the graphics wont matter as much and the i7 will run faster. it is faster video vs faster cpu, which to pick...

Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
My problem:
While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
Who knows:
- why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
- is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
By the way:
- I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
- The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
Thanks for answers.

I have the same problem now that I've enabled FileVault 2 on Mountain Lion.

Magic Mouse stops sliding vertically, only slides left and right...

Hello,
I just bought a brand new MBP and decided to get the Magic Mouse to go with it. For the first week it worked really well. Now, besides the other issues everyone is discussing, I've noticed that periodically throughout the day, the mouse will not let me slide up or down. I can only slide left or right. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?
Second, if the mouse (and computer) goes to sleep (after 5 minutes or so...) when I try to use it again, it seems to be dead. I have to go into control panel and reconnect the mouse to regain use. The green light on the bottom doesn't appear at all when this happens. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
Any thoughts welcome...
Thanks.

Hi Civilian12 & welcome to the forums...
Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.

MBP & External monitor orientation

Hello All,
I would like to use an external monitor with the MBP with a different orientation i.e. the MBP runs on landscape (default/normal), I would like the external monitor to have a Potrait orientation.
I have done this with a couple of PC's, am sure its possible with the MBP -- just wanted to double check?
Thanks,

Yup - just tested - my MBP and Viewsonic VP2030b did this with standard Apple software and drivers.
Just select the "Rotate" dropdown on the second monitor once attached.

I cant figure out what is slowing down my mbp i7 quad core. Help?!

This is a used machine I bought off CL. Upgraded to 10.8.3 and upgraded RAM to 8 gb. Has been wrking great. Suddenly delay between input and output. I click wait then it responds.....like a pc.....same with typing or any other comand and constant pinwheeling. closed all applications cleaned all temp caches. Used onyx to do its magic. All to no avail. My hard drive is at 290 of 500 gb.....my old intell core duo 2009 w 4gb ram is whirring along running all the same software. Its HD is at the same ratio.
Please help this is a mid 2012 15inch MBP i7 quad core. What could be slowing it down?

You'll have to backup only user files to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
Then hold command r keys down and reboot the machine, use Disk Uility Erase on the Macintosh HD and move the slider one spot to the right, then click erase, this will Zero Erase the entire partition, takes hours, but let it complete.
Then quit and reinstall OS X fresh with your AppleID and password/update and install your software, then last add files back, do a scan using the free ClamXav just in case.
If you still have problems, do a extended Hardware Check, should check the RAM and replace with the original and see if the problem goes away.

Quad core 2.0 vs 2.2 vs 2.3 15" MBP 2k11

I am purchasing a MBP (my first one)... is there really any significant difference b/w the quad core processors listed above? Is there any REAL advantage by spending the extra money to get 2.3ghz? I run VM's ect, but NO major gaming or photo/video editing.
Thanks again

The difference is there for sure and it's about speed. and by speed we're talking about hours or even minutes, it's about seconds gained here or there but when your editing hundreds of pics or trying to encode HD etc then these seconds start to count in.
if you're not going to play games or use your machine for heavy video editing / encoding etc then get the low end model, it's still a very good machine, you'll love it.

I have an iMac 1.83 ghz Intel Core Duo. The sound is suddenly intermittent, the magic mouse erratic. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. How do I correct this? Will Lion run on this machine?

Unless you have an intel core 2 duo processor or greater, you can not run Lion
General requirements-Lion
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
