Messaggi non funziona su Macbook Pro 13 Retina

Buongiorno,
da qualche giorno l'applicazione Messaggi non funziona più sul mio Macbook Pro 13 con display Retina.
Quando apro l'applicazione, essa non si avvia: la barra in alto a sinistra è resa inutilizzabile dall'icona della rotella arcobaleno, e non si apre nessuna finestra. L'unica opzione possibile è l'uscita forzata dall'applicazione. Anche riavviando il mac non risolvo il problema.
L'applicazione funziona invece perfettamente sul mio iPhone 5; spesso accade che quando avvio il mac sento il suono di ricezione di un msg e mi appare la notifica del messaggio nella barra notifiche, ma quando provo a leggerlo l'applicazione non si avvia.
Come posso risolvere il problema?
Grazie

Hi,

Good Morning,
some days the Messaging application no longer works on my Macbook Pro 13 with Retina display.
When I open the app, it will not start: the bar on the top left is rendered unusable by the icon of the rainbow wheel, and does not open any window. The only option is to force quit the application. Even restarting the mac does not solve the problem.
The application works perfectly on my iPhone instead of 5; often happens that when I start the mac I hear the sound of receiving a msg and I get the message notification in the notification bar, but when I try to read the application does not start.
How can I fix the problem?
Open the Foot Book and check the AppleGothic Font.

  • Can you install Windows 8.1 Pro using Parallels on a new MacBook Pro without retina display?

    I am starting a graduate school program and I would like to purchase a MacBook Pro. The options for the non-retina display fit my needs best, but it sounds like the resolution requirements for Windows 8.1 Pro do not match the MacBook Pro without retina. I need Windows to run a statistics program (SAS) and ArcGIS for mapping. Any thoughts or experience installing Windows 8.1 Pro on MBP without retina?

    The native res on my 13-inch non-Retina is 1280x800. You might check with Parallels support or their forums to see if this is a problem.
    If you go with the non-Retina 13-inch, I'd recommend getting 8GB RAM (standard is 4GB) because Win emulators need a fair bit of memory.

  • Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC crash on my MacBook Pro 15" Retina (2013)

    I have a Mac Pro 12-Core (Late 2013) and a MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013). While there is no problem with the Adobe Creative Cloud products on the Mac Pro, I can't work with Photoshop and Illustrator on the MacBook Pro, cause it always tells me "undefined error" or that I wouldn't have the write-rights for the hard drive or file, even when there's no file opened. Illustrator crashes constantly while starting the program.
    I tried to do a new installation by de-installing the programs including cloud desktop program with the Adobe de-installers. Didn't help at all. I tried to delete the programs including all hidden files manually, but it didn't work. After the new installation of the programs I still get the same error information. What else can I do? Other Non-Adobe programs like Final Cut, QuarkXpress aso work without problems and I really don't want to do a new setup on my Mac just because of the Adobe problem.
    So, who can help me? What can I do to solve the problem?

  • 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.
    Frank

    Also, would the applecare be strongly recommended for my situation?

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

    2. Secondly, I have Bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse, Is this compatible with Windows 8?
    Thanks

  • Is a MacBook Pro w/ Retina display worth the price?

    Apple community-
        Looking at purchasing portability for school- going to work on an MFA in graphics/web/new media, and need some assistance.  I've an iMac from 2007, seems to run flawlessly, but looking at options for taking school with me while at work- I'm currently travelling five different states in my current position.  The new MacBook Pro with Retina display looks stunning, albeit expensive, but has many features that worry me.
        For instance, everything is completely bolted/soldered/non-upgradeable, so any desire of modification needs to be purchased pre-production, right?  Also, the big issue with their PCIe "Flash based" storage... exactly what is this, and why is it so freaking expensive?  I've read different reports on Apple using various manufacturers, so not every MacBook as the same storage model, no third party attempts at upgrades, etc..  If I'd like to install numerous, monstrous programs, such as the entire Adobe Creative Suites, 3D Max, Maya, Final Cut, and so forth, I'll need a high capacity memory drive, as I assume most, if not all of these, need a root drive to install, and not simply an external hard drive.  I still make CDs/DVDs, so a SuperDrive is another $80.
        Chatting with an Apple representative, she stated that there is "only one model that will run my software at peak performance," which was the 15-inch model, starting at $2k; also, my software needed a "dedicated graphics card,"  I'm not too certain that it needs all that, and a high-end PC laptop could certainly run all of my demands- but let's face it, this is an Apple discussions community, and I'm plain simply accustomed to working on an Apple computer.  Plus, I don't really care for Windows 8.
        Should I possibly aim to purchase an older model used, something without Retina, but with more storage?  Is Retina that big of a deal for a laptop?  I also considered the possibility of just toting a Mac Mini with a 13-inch Cintiq tablet; though it does need a constant power supply, it's still quite portable.
        Thoughts?  Am I just overthinking this?  I've been expecting a MacBook to be expensive, but this could be pushing it a bit.
    Cheers!

    guiparent,
    whether it’s worth the price or not is an entirely subjective opinion. My own choice was to buy a used non-Retina 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and replace its hard drive with a SSD; but since I don’t use graphic-intensive apps such as the Adobe Creative Suite, my own choice would most likely not be best for you. Given your graphic design background, if you find the non-Retina displays sufficient for your needs, I’d recommend that you consider a used 15-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. That model has memory sockets, so you can replace/upgrade the RAM if needed; its internal disk can be replaced by/upgraded with any 2.5-inch 9.5-mm-high SATA hard disk or SSD; and it has a built-in SuperDrive.

  • Reason for blurring of text in MacBook Pro with retina display?

    I was in an Apple store recently and examined a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    I noticed that when I expanded the size of the text (using the touchpad) on the Apple web page on the screen that there was a brief blur in the appearance of the text before the text looked sharp again at the larger size.
    I asked an Apple person at the store why this occurred. He claimed that the brief blurring of the text that I saw when I expanded its size was due to my eyes adjusting to the rapid change in text size.
    The answer appeared ridiculous to me. I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro about 5 years old as well as an iPad 2 and iPad mini. On none of these machines have I seen the temporary blurring of the text appearance when increasing its size.
    Is there an inherent problem with retina displays that causes this problem?
    Thanks for your help

    Nah, it was due to the image zoom being processed off the server for the Apple website and the likely clogged connection wifi speeds off the local router in that specific Apple store.
    most websites are not designed for retina level viewing either
    Ive done zoom in on a Retina here at the house with 30MB down speeds and never had a blurring unless it was coming off a jammed up server from a specific website that was slow.

  • 15 inch Macbook pro w/o retina display or 13 inch Macbook pro with retina display?

    Want to get a macbook for university. Going to be used primarily for work and casual use. Have a 32inch full hd tv to connect up to for watching movies etc, which is the better choice?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I recommend a non-Retina MacBook Pro unless you need the Retina display. MacBooks Pro with Retina display are very limited and you can't replace anything if you don't want to void warranty. Also, repairs are more expensive, so purchase AppleCare for your MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you need good GPU performance. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has got an Intel HD Graphics 4000 as the graphic card, and it's not supported in Adobe apps, for example. Also, apps that require GPU performance won't work properly.
    If you are not going to do any heavy task, the 13-inch MacBook Pro should work

  • Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

    Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
    The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
    (1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks 
    (2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
    (3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
    Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
    I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now.  Airs, Pros, Retinas etc.  I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad.  It is wonderful.  Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
    In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
    The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots.  Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking.  If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
    I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook...  Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices.  If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits.  Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception.  Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
    Why should you care?  For *some* people the following is true and meaningful.  The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
    You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
    You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
    You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
    For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
    Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like.  And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
    Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go.  In addition:
    It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks. 
    It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
    Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
    Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard. 
    It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
    Pictures Below:
    My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference.  (As if you wouldn't)

    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)

    Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
    The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
    Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off.  Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard.  Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

  • Macbook Pro with retina display software question

    I am thinking of replacing my curren Macbook Pro that is 3 years old with the new Macbook pro with retina display; I need to know if Mac Office 2011 will run on this computer as well as iWorks 09.
    Thanks------Roger

    i would refrain from buying retina mbp for now if you are going to use it for office word, etc.
    it still not yet retina adapted i hear. wait until everything is updated for retina. which would take few weeks or months. but, you can also buy retina now, and set the display to non retina quality, and office would work fine, then when you dont use office, you can set it back to retina pixels.

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.
    Ciao.

  • How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and  will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

    .

    will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
    I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.
