MBP Retina and Second Display issues

I'm using a Macbook Pro with retina display and having a hard time really understanding how it translates to a normal 72dpi screen, so I hooked up a second computer, this is what photoshop looks like on it...
Suggestions?

Disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, and let Apple know about their video driver problems.

MBP Retina and Thunderbolt Display color correction

What are my options regarding color correction for a new 13" Retina MBP and Thunderbolt display using Spyder color calibration system, or equivalent? Really important I nail that down before purchasing.
Thanks!

I recently purchased MBP retina w/Thunderbolt Display

I recently purchased MBP retina with Thunderbolt display. Also purchased Apple Care for the MBP. Does the Apple Care cover the Thunderbolt display also? Or do I need to purchase additional Apple Care for the display? Back in 2006 when I bought previous MBP with Cinema Display, the Apple Care purchase covered both. Does this still apply or have the rules changed?

10.5.3: Clamshell mode and 1080p display issues fixed?

Has the clamshell mode issue and 1080p display issue been fixed in 10.5.3? Are you able to shut your laptop and use 1080p on an external monitor without the **** thing freaking out?

Me and hundreds like had the issue when we upgraded to 10.5.2. It is a known but bug that when you start up the system an external display wouldn't be recognized in calibrated profiles (only at 1440x900). A work around was to start up then close the door immediately or boot up without external display connected and connect when completed booted.
I was told by support in Jan that there would be a fix in the next release (10.5.3 I presumed), but after installing it I have the same problem and the release notes don't mention it as repaired.

I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

MBP 13" Retina late 2012 display issue

Hi,
I have a problem since the upgrade to Maverick :
This is happening :
With the display setup configured to have more space (1680x1050 if i'm right)
After playing a game in 1440x900 or after I connect my TV in HDMI with a replication of the screen between laptop and TV (meaning the retina screen is used in 1920x1080)
After those action, if my MBP go to sleep mode because I don't use it, at wake up I have the display issue at the bottom.
This appeared with maverik, I had no issue before.
If some one have some idea ?
My current work arround is that, after playing game or using my MBP on my TV, I change the screen scale and then the problem is not happening.

I have a MBP Retina LCD (resolution 2880x1800) and in the office I use it with a Monitor Sony LMD-2450W connected by VGA. After installing 10.9.2 the resolution in the monitor has been downsized to 4:3 (and 1280x960) instead of its 16:9 display. Anyone know how can I change the resolution manually?
Display shows only 3 different resolution if I choose "scaled" but none use the full area of the monitor.
Thank you
Marco

This has been an ongoing problem with external monitors that predates 10.9.2. I wrote various tips on different methods here, though the best is probably the hot corner one:

Is garage band included on 10.6 OS and hdmi display issues?

Imac, 17 inch display, 2.0 GHz, 1GB ram two issues. Can I connect an hdmi second display (hidef tv) through the thunderbolt port and does garage band come with OS 10.6. Can't find garage band anyplace and the second display when plugged in to an aftermarket thunderbolt to hdmi adapter sees the hdmi display but won't mirror. I have a clean install of 10.6 and can't get past these two issues. Any help please.

Here's the issue. I can only get 3 meg d/l speed and that drops to as low as .5 meg at times. I can link my MacBook Pro to an hdmi hi def 1080 thru a Devi connector and all works fine. I run Netflix and the MacBook buffers the content so if the speed lags the show doesn't stop. I came across this iMac and was hoping to do the same thing. I bought an Apple TV 2 nd gen and it just stops and stalls due to no buffering. So that's not working. If I can connect the iMac to the larger Vizio with hdmi inputs, 1080 hi def I would allow the iMac to run my Netflix and not ruin here MacBook by letting it run continuously. I used the MacBook on a smaller 14" and the 26" Vizio with no problems. The iMac won't see either one though in sys prefs it does show the display but won't mirror. If you, for some reason, just cannot answer the question, just let me know, I appreciate all your help. I am at a loss but feel certain there is a way to do this.

Mac applications have blurry/fuzzy fonts and other display issues

About two days ago my MBP display started acting funny. To start, I noticed my itunes font started going blurry. The words in Word are fuzzy as well. Other apps like firefox and safari I can read just fine. Next, I noticed this (http://i.imgur.com/Hfhq0.png) happening. When I move a window in any application the window would automatically start getting larger. Next, this (http://i.imgur.com/6ySCT.png) became an issue. Notice the white at the bottom of the box. Finally this (http://i.imgur.com/wYdUe.png) reared it ugly head in firefox. I have no idea what's going on. Other forums and google have been no help at all and you guys are my final hope. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for saving my baby.

OK I don't use a two-button mouse but control-click brings up that window for me and it displays fine just pulling the background image as the border with no white space ...
I'd guess it's something related to the background image you're using, have you tested the effect when you go back to a plain colour or an Apple supplied background ? What format is the image you've set as background png, jpg or something unusual ?

MBP Retina and USB

Hi Everyone,
Managed to get my hands on a MBP-R 2.6/8/512, last weekend, and i must say it appears to be a great machine. However i do appear to have an issue with one of the USB ports and i wondered if anyone else had noticed anything similar, and/or has any advise??
The issue is,
The port on the left hand side, appears to mount my iphone ok, and randomly unmounts then remounts it. It also appears to do the same with some of my flash drives, but not all of them. This is annoying especially if my iphone is updating / restoring. My usb superdrive does not appear to be affected on this port, and as previously mentioned some of my flash drives are ok??!!
The port on the right hand side however appears to be fine, everything appears to work 100% with no issues, including my iphone??!!
MAC OSX 10.7.4 (This includes the current 2012 1.0 update which i re-applied last night just in case)
Any advise would be much appreciated,
Mark

I got say I have exactly the same issue! I have a $2199 Retina Macbook pro. I bought it on June 26th in a reseller. The left side USB doesn't work for my Samsung Galaxy S(Android phone). Everything is right on my cell phone but just nothing show in my MBP. The right side USB is perfect. Can you contact me let's discuss how to deal with this? I called tech support last night for over 1 hour. Tried different kinds of solution ( Reset PRAM and others) but they didn't work at all. The tech support suggest me to get my MBP replaced and he will give me an mail showing that apple decide to do this(Because I bought it in a reseller). Actually he didn't send me that email so I call tech support again. The manager told me they need talk to the engineers with this issue and will reply me in 4 days.

IMac and second display help.

I am currently thinking about getting a second display for my iMac.
Because my iMac is only 17" i need a bigger screen.
I have 3 questions-
1. Can i use my imac as the second display and have my new display as the main screen displaying the menubar and dock?
2. Are there any monitors other than the apple displays that look really good with the imacs?
3. With an intel graphics card is there a maximum screen size it can cope with?
Cheers

Connect PS3 to MBP retina and then onto IMAC 21,5"??? POSSIBLE??

greetings to all of you!
i wold like to share with you guys ths doubt the i have, and i'm pretty sure i'm not the first one thinking about this... hopefuly somebody can help me..
i know that it is possibe to connect the PS3 onto a macbook pro retina display with not that much of an issue. jut need to have the right cables and adapters, i'm cleared about that. AND i also know that with just a simple thunderbolt cabl you can use yor imac 21,5 (specificallly mid2011) as a monitor display for the mbp..
THAT'S WHY i came out with the ide to get all these three things together and connected, in order to play PS3 and watch it in my 21,5 imac!
I KNOW there are devices like eyetv HD, that allows you tu play ps3 on ypur imac 21,5 directly.. bt i'm currentlu living in croatia and buying something from amazon it's just way to slow to get it in here..
PLEASE if anybody has ever try it..or knows about someone that did, and it actually worked, please please let me know.. i'm not an electronic gnius but when you think abot the idea it doesn't sound too crazy or stupid.. that's what i think.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH HOP YOU CAN HELP LET ME KNOW

To answer the question, there is no built-in way to do what you are trying to do.
"Target Display Mode allows you to use a supported iMac as an external display for another Mac computer using Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cables."

For a PS3 you will need to use a third party device/software.

MBP Retina and playing FPS games

Hi,
I have always travelled and owned Mac, but have thought about buying a 14" Alienware or Razer blade to play fps on the down times I have while travelling. My question is, will a top spec MBP Retina15 with the 2 GB GT750M Nvidia card work to adequately play these (and similar) games? I don't know whether to use Parallels or Bootcamp; though Bootcamp worked well years ago when I needed PC. I have read the graphics cards Apple uses aren't good for gaming anyway so information on that would be good. My preference for mac is waning due to the constraints of gaming..but as I still have iPhone etc. it's a habit. The Alienware is good but heavy; the Razer good but ordinary screen.
The guts of it is if I can still get away with apple then great, but if the games will be slow and frames per second below par, then back to PC it is. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The dedicated GPU of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is good. However, there's a difference between an Alienware and a MacBook Pro: the Alienware laptop is designed for games, and the MacBook Pro is designed for work.
It means that if the only purpose for getting a computer is to play games, I recommend you to go for the Alienware. However, if you like the Mac, you can go for the MacBook Pro, which is a really good computer looking at hardware, but you may need slightly lower settings and the MacBook Pro will overheat quickly, being dangerous for the Mac. Also, if you get the Mac, you need to install Windows with Boot Camp.
