Mercury Playback Engine not available on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" with 16gb of RAM and a 500GB SSD, and am trying to enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) on a legitimate copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. For some reason the selection for that option is shaded and stuck on Software Only. I have tried installing and enabling the nVIDIA CUDA driver but nothing has changed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).
You might want to take your question to the Adobe Premiere discussion boad to see if there are any current 'workarounds' -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere.

Freed memory not available 2012 MacBook Pro Retina

I have a 500 GB flash storage drive on my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. In a bid to run things faster for my music production, I've moved my large ITunes library onto an external hard drive. I backed everything up and trashed the iTunes folder after the external was all working, repaired disk permissions and restarted but my freed memory is still not showing. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show all of your files and the respective sizes. See if this will assist you ion detecting the problem.
Ciao.

Mercury Playback Engine not working on PrPro CC 2014

Hello everyone. My Asus J750JS (NVIDIA 870M) modified with a Samsung 1T SSD for Footage and a original 240GB SSD for C: and F: (chache) my Adobe CC remove all the .TXT with CUDA CARDS SUPPORTED file!!!! and i am using CPU only!! even when the Mercury Playback Engine its on!!! please help!!!
You can see that the Warp Stabilizer (CUDA effect) with the Mercury Playback Engine activated give me red line!! i am working on a important project and i need a fast solution PLEASE!!

....in addition to the advice I gave on your other post....as great as our Asus gaming laptops are...they are STILL TWICE AS SLOW AS A POWERFUL DESKTOP SYSTEM running PPro !!! My new G750JW compares in performance with some of the BEST DESKTOPS.....but, from THREE YEARS AGO !!!!!
There is only SO MUCH you can do with a laptop.....much of the professional software today takes advantage of the greater power of current desktop systems and will not run at its best on a less powerful laptop. Now that you have dramatically improved your drive system by getting rid of the 5400rpm HDD and installing the Samsung SSD , ( hopefully,the 850 pro model and NOT the EVO), you STILL need to max out your system memory to 32GB from 16., With warp stabilizer, a desktop system with a 6 or 8 core CPU running at over 4Ghz would behave MUCH differently !!! I do NOT know if more memory would help with warp stabilizer.....I know it DOES help with other operations I have used on PPro !! Take the test at the PPBM7 website to see the performance of your machine and identify any potential problem.

Mercury Playback Engine Software Only in Premiere Pro CS6

The Mercury Playback Engine Software Only is greyed out. Does this mean it is working or not?

your question:
"The Mercury Playback Engine Software Only is greyed out. Does this mean it is working or not?"
yes... it is 'greyed out' because it is your only option,
and premiere is working in "software only" mode by default !!!
if you follow the suggestion made in this thread:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7321155#7321155
...you might be able to select MPE, and as a result the menu will NOT
be 'greyed out', indicating that you can choose between the default of
'software only' or the alternate 'mercury playback engine'
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Space bar does not start or pause playback in iTunes on new MacBook Pro Retina display model

Does anyone have a solution?

No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record. In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model?
The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support. The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section. I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.

Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting on MacBook Pro Retina

I recently purchased the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter to connect to my 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to a hardwired internet connection for faster downloads. However, when I connect the ethernet cord to the adapter nothing happens and only the wifi connection is identified.
Ethernet or Thunderbolt Ethernet are not an option in the System Preference > Network. Also, either connection are options when trying to add a network interface ( System Preferences > Network > + > Interface).
I have tried several fixes like Resetting PRAM or Removing Network Preferences File. The NetworkInferences.plist and Preferences.plist files did get recreated after reboot, but only the WIFI interface shows up.

http://rohanradio.com/blog/2012/02/27/fixing-thunderbolt-ethernet-on-the-macbook -pro/
I am sure the Thunderbolt ports are functional since I am able to connect my display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Could I have corrupted the Network Preference File or is could the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter damaged?
Please help.

I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
or
Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone not detected in macbook pro retina 13"

I just purchased an SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone. But my macbook pro retina 13" could not detect it. Anybody can help? It is perfectly working with my iphone 5.

Unpair it from your phone and then try pairing it to your Mac.
Does the Mac see any BT devices like KB or mouse?

Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

the green light on the mag safe turns on?
you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

ShureSM58 not working on MacBook Pro Retina

Hello,
Basically, I have bought the Shure SM58 microphone to record audio voice on my MacBook Pro Retina, but it doesn't seem to work.. The specifications and the seller clearly told me that the audio jack included output and input, is there anything I am doing wrong or I should know of? Please help!
Michael Lafond

The SM58 uses a 3 pin xlr connector, how are you connecting to a Mac?
Where do you connect this? with some adaptor I assume (as there is no balanced microphone socket on any Mac)

.mac mail not available on macbook pro.

The last few days my .mac mail is not available on my macbook pro. I tried deleting .mac account from mail and reinstalling but it says it is unavailable. Error message reads "The server returned the error: Moved: http://me.com/move" I can access my .mac account on other computers and iphones, just having a problem with this one computer. Any suggestions?

Are you running DVD SP 4.0.3 on that MacBook Pro?
It won't work.

Airport not available on MacBook Pro 15 unibody mid 2009, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I just recently put in a new hard drive and battery by myself, since my original MacBook Pro hard drive became "corrupted" most likely due to a parallel desktop software I was using. Anyway so I finally install everything on the new hard drive and airport is not working. The icon is NOT EVEN THERE on the menu bar. I go into Network and the only thing I've got is Ethernet and Firewall. I've tried the "+" thing, and it didn't work. I then went into "Assist Me" , then "Diagnostics" and the airport option is greyed out, so is the external modem. Oh, and the operating system is Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.3. Has a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
I also deleted the "SystemConfiguration" Folder and found something interesting. The "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" was never there and when I reboot, the "com.apple.network.identification.plist" also disappeared. I had to drag it back into the folder from the desktop where I put a copy just in case something weird happened, which it did.
I checked System Profiler, clicked on AirPort and it gives me stuff under "Software Versions", so I'm guessing it's acknowledging that THERE IS a card and can give me all the information for it, but I can't get the mac to use it. I reset the PRAM AND SMC and still nothin.
So, I figured it must be hardware, right? So I open the mac like i did when I installed the new hard drive and battery, and I CANNOT FIND THE DARN AIRPORT CARD. On the mid 2010 models it's with the bluetooth card at the top and I've tried looking online for ANYONE, who has tried to get to the airport card on the mid 2009 model for the MacBook Pro 15 unibody. And found nothing. I think it's in the clutch, but I'm too scared to touch that area. Does anyone else have any ideas or have I covered all my bases?
I REALLY DO NOT want to go to Apple. I don't have AppleCare and don't have the money to have them poke around and tell me the same thing I already know. And I spent way too much on this computer to not be able to use it to full capacity. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Airplay Not Available on MacBook Pro

I have upgraded three systems to Mavericks so far, a 2008 MacBook Pro, a 2011 Mac mini, and a 2013 MacBook Air. On the Mac mini and MacBook Air I have the airplay icon on the top menu bar to use with my AppleTV. On my MacBook Pro, this icon is not there, and there is nothing in the Display Preferences. Is there a way to enable airplay on my MacBook Pro?

Hi MarkN,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't see the AirPlay icon on your MacBook Pro, try these troubleshooting steps:
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5209
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
iTunes for Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates
iTunes for Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices' software is up to date.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are connected to the same home network.
Note: Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a guest network that can block certain Internet services from working or seeing other devices on your home network.
If the AirPlay icon doesn’t appear in iTunes
Ensure that you followed these steps to use AirPlay in iTunes.If the AirPlay icon still doesn't appear, try one of the following steps:
If you want to AirPlay to an Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the Apple TV. From the Apple TV main menu, go to Settings > AirPlay. This should be set to On.
If you want to AirPlay to an Airport Express, ensure that AirPlay is enabled in the device settings.
If you want to AirPlay to a 3rd party AirPlay-enabled device, refer to the user guide.
All the best,
Jeremy

HT3625 Audio line function not available on Macbook Pro mid 2012

Does Macbook Pro 13 inch (Mid 2012) with OSX Mountain support Audio line? Its seems that OSX Mountain Lion disabled audio line in function in headphone port. This is a bad move by Apple because I am sure that everyone would like to use line in to record audio from external source.

I am trying to connect an external audio source (line in) to a MacBook Pro 15" (Retina, Mid 2012). The built in phones port does not accept input signals (@Branduan: I can't confirm that itis a dual in/out port). I attached an external soundcard (M-Audio Fasttrack USB), but no signal made it into the MacBook Pro.
Any chance how to get an audio signal into that machine??

Graphics Issues with Mercury Playback Engine (CUDA) in Adobe Premiere Pro

Brand new 2014 Macbook Pro 15" Retina, Nvidia GT750m 2gb, Premiere Pro CC2014, Cuda 6.5.37 (latest). Yosemite 10.10.1
While editing I get some glitches on the display, namely when I switch to and from the Finder, which disappear as I move the mouse.
Most annoying, however, is that the computer is crashing (giant power button logo) and restarting after some time rendering. Sometimes it's during the render. Other times is a few minutes later... The system starts to slow down and then it all freezes.
On the Adobe forums, there's a thread that started one year ago with similar problems from people with different machines (Mac Pro, iMac, Mavericks and Yosemite).
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for quick response! I'm glad everything is ok with that.
I work with DSLR footage with heavy codec h.264, so I have another question. (sorry, I am new in this).
What is the best video format for easy editing?
I was reading this tips http://graemeh.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/why-and-how-to-transcode-canon-dslrs-h-264-mov-fil es-for-editing/
Is that good way or is there something better format than DVCPRO?
Maybe something like this? http://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2011/08/a-prores-workflow-end-to-end.html but i don't have APPLE PRO RES 422.
Please tell me some secrets for best workflow.

ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

Hello community,
If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
Full Error message in german:
Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem. What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space". The other scaling options seemed to do similar.
