Mirroring a profiled projector changes also my Macbook Pro profiled display

Hi everybody, I have a really annoying problem: I have a Macbook Pro 2009 running 10.6.3 and an Epson Projector. MBP display and projector are calibrated and profiled with Colormunki. MBP screen has its own profile and projector also. When I use them in Extended desktop they keep their own profiles and colors, but when I mirror them only projector keeps its profile while MBP screen becomes red like it tries to simulate Epson profile. Why? I need to work in mirror mode because my projector screen is behind me, and I need to have correct profiles on both mirrored displays. If I look in Display Preferences it tells me that MBP screen has the correct profile but it isn't true!! Is there a way to mirror MBP screen and a projector and keep profiles correct an both displays?

In mirrored mode both displays will try to be the same resolution. Hence "mirrored". If your projector and MBP can not both display the same (for example if the projector is trying to display a higher resolution than your MBP can display) resolution one will not display correctly. The way to have each display keep its allowed resolution is to use extended mode.

HT201343 airplay mirroring doesn't work anymore in my Macbook Pro retina display!!

It doesn't work since 3 weeks ago

Did you manage to get it working again?
I have the same problem (also MBP Retina) and i could solve it by installing 10.8 again, but after some weeks ist fails again.

The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule also died!) but have all my songs on my iPhone. How can I copy them to my laptop?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

External VGA Projector Screen Blue when MacBook Pro Connected

I love using my laptop for Powerpoint and Keynote presentations at work. I used to have a Powerbook 1.5GHz 15" and now have a MacBook Pro 2.2GHz 15". With some external VGA projectors, after connecting the MacBook Pro, everything works great. I turn off mirroring and my presentation goes smoothly.
However, with some particular external VGA projectors, I get a connection problem. After using my DVI-to-VGA cable to connect my MBP to the projector, nothing happens. The projector continues to project a blue screen as though nothing is connected to it and as though it has no video source. I've cycled through the projectors input selections hoping the projector would find the signal but still nothing. I've even restarted my MBP with the cables attached to the projector and still the projector shows a blue screen.
My friends can connect their PC Windows XP and Windows Vista computers to this same projector with no problems. I used to have this same problem with my PowerBook G4 which is one of the reasons I upgraded to the new MBP hoping this problem would be resolved. What's wrong and what can I do to get my MBP compatible with the external projector?

Sorry, I meant the cable that links between the connector and the input to the projector (RGB - IN by the way, not OUT).
We have a number of these VGA cables at my place of work that will work with a PC but not a Mac. Some are fine. My technician holds on to a cable for me that we know works and if I get a bad one, he brings in the replacement and it takes a few seconds to go online. I also note that some of the projectors (particularly ceiling mounted ones) have an additional adapter between the cable and the projector. It may be that some of the pins are not connected.
Of course, if the projector is mounted too high, that would not allow easy replacement.
I would suggest finding a cable that works and carrying that around.

Macbook Pro Retina display laptop to Dell 1409X projector doesn't work

Macbook Pro Retina display laptop to Dell 1409X projector – I use OSX 10.9 & I've cabled from my thunder port (mini display port) via apple's adapter to a vga cable to a Dell 1409X projector. But the projected display is different from the computer display. The cursor is controlled from my trackpad, but is only seen in the projection display. Also the dock items are only seen in the projection display. But when I select any application (ex, Word file or a jpeg image) it is only seen on the laptop. Meanwhile the projected display shows items from my screensaver, always different from what is shown on the laptop.
Thanks for any help.

How do i connect my macbook pro retina display to lcd projector

How do i connect my macbook pro retina display to lcd projector?

Depends on what type of video connection the projector accepts. Most common would be DVI, VGA or HDMI. Review this article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3235

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.

Macbook pro redina display keeps on telling me that the hard drive is full from Videos, and yet their is no videos, what can i do?

If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Don't see the Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model

Macbook Pro Retina display 15 inch 2.6 Ghz i7 model - what happened to this model ? just brought this computer 4 months back and suddently this model disappeared? also the price on this one is equivalent to another higher model with 2.7 Ghz and 16 GB memory ?

Apple removed some Retina MacBooks Pro and started selling other ones with slightly better hardware last week. If you have this MacBook, you can continue using it because, although Apple has upgraded the hardware, changes aren't big compared to your MacBook Pro model

MacBook Pro retina display warm yellowish tint.

I had my MacBook Pro retina display screen replaced. But the new screen they replace for me has a warm yellow tint on the display.anyone else have the same problem?I went back to the store they say thats normal they wont do anything. what Can I do?
The it's very yellow. I using a iPad and Mac Pro at home. Every time I put my eye on my MacBook it just make my eye very uncomfortable. Very warm and yellowish.

Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee. I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement. Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

Why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations. I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote. Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display? Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection. Im looking for a remote that worked like the apple TV remote. My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac. I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter. It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good. Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?
