My 15 inch Macbook Retina has Vertical grey area in my screen which i noted about 3 days ago.

I noted a vertical grey area in my screen which suddenly appeared while editing a word document. I was trying to catch it by screenshot but it does not appear in the picture. I only notice it in white backgounds. Help pls. It is kinda annoying. My macbook pro retina is a month old. Thanks in advance.

Good and simple way to get two monitors from one Thunderbolt port.

Was this a dark gray screen that appeared with the message to restart the computer in five different languages? If so that's a kernel panic. It would help if you can post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic. Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.

I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. I can see all my songs if sorted that way, but if i sort by artist, only a few of them are present. Can anyone help or have any insight?

Well I didn't think of it before, but I logged out of my apple ID othe iPad's home sharing. The I logged back in and it worked. It's a little weird, but I will take it. Thanks!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try a reset.

Be prepared for a broken heart...
It's obvious that you need a new drive - when you purchase one you should also purchase a USB enclosure for your old drive and connect that drive to your machine to see if you can rescue any data from it. You may have to purchase a utility such as Data Rescue 3 or DiskWarrior (each $100) to facilitate restoring some of your data.
And start a couple of backup schemes... when you can't afford to lose data, a couple of backup schemes can help.

MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode. This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so. While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes. For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode. Any idea or suggestions?

Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down. If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon. From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

I just turned my ipad on after it died and it has a grey glitch across the screen

my ipad has just been turned back on and it has a grey glitch

My iPad Mini just died and I had been using it this morning... I am really bummed because I am overseas and there is no place to take it and look at it where I am... I used this all the time and lost a lot of stuff on it if this doesnt come back on.
Update: I tried the two button suggestion and thank God it worked, but what causes this APPLE?

Vertical Dark areas in the screen

Hey all-
The screen on my MBP has some dim areas that run vertical across the bottom of the screen. They aren't lines, more like shadows. What is that?
Help?

I intermittently get these too.
I have the GeForce 8600M GT video processor that Apple will replace for free, but this seems to be an OS X issue regarding this processor. When I boot to Vista it goes away.
Apple has noted this problem with earlier versions of OS X, so they're probably working on a fix. If it starts to happen more often I will try the GeForce 8600M GT replacement.
In the meantime, this article describes how to reset the display:

Where has my pages document gone? I updated to Yosemite 3 days ago...

Hi, I am writing on a 2013 Macbook Pro which I updated to the Yosemite operating system 4 days ago. I have just lost an essay using pages that I've worked on over the past two days (around 6 hours of work) I've searched trash and all files documents and can't find it. where has it gone? I found multiple versions of the piece when i wanted to email it to a tutor and started to tidy up and now all of them have disappeared. Can anyone help? Thanks Margaret

Thank you sir - in 6 minutes you have accomplished what Apple couldn't in almost as many weeks.
Moral of the story: Renting movies on Apple TV 2 ***** and I shan't be doing it again. It amazes me that Apple has launched a system that allows the GB tap to run freely with no regard to logic whatsoever.
As you point out any future (if any) rentals will be made via iTunes, which I had imagined was more or less equivalent given Apple's usually harmonious relationship between various modes of doing essentially the same thing. Not so in this case. I've also rented directly from the iPad as well, which turned out to be a hassle until I discovered Airplay.
Thanks again for your response - at least now I understand what happened.

The font on some of my programs, even here as I type is faint or grey. This just started since firefox updated two days ago. what can I do to fix this problem?

I am a real estate agent and two days ago when I open my searches for clients the font is grey instead of black... makes it hard to read. Even as I type this the font is grey.

Restore your phone as new, not using ANY backup at all, and reset it up from scratch.

Macbook retina has no CD drive - how to install Windows??

I have the new Macbook 15" retina and I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I just realized there is no CD/DVD drive on this model to insert the Windows disc. How to I install Windows and the drivers???

I am not 100% sure, but the retina mbp is the only new MBP that allows booting fron an external DvD drive.
If it will not boot directly, use another computer to make an ISO file (on USB) from the Windows CD and use that one to install Windows. The OS10.7 and 10.8 Bootcamp can not handle XP only 7 and 8.

My MacBook Retina has been shutting off multiple times per day. It is beginning to happen more frequently. What can I do to locate the exact issue? My warranty has expired so I would like to get to the bottom of it without taking it in to an apple store.

I am currently learning how to do diagnostics on mac hardware but I am not a native mac user. It is unlikely that this is a software issue. Please, any input will be helpful.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

2007 17 inch Macbook Pro has slow graphics

After updating to iLife 11, my MBP suddenly has very slow graphics perfomrance! It used to be able to handle 1080p video just fine, NOW IT CAN BARELY HANDLE 720P! Can someone please help me? What can I do?

Ok, if you're on SL, Bootcamp is probably still at v3.x. Lion came with v4.0, but no matter, since the drivers are machine-specific. IIRC, an Early 2011 15" MBP should already have the twin integrated Intel/AMD Radeon GPU setup, with 512MB or so of dedicated VRAM. One issue I can think up as being the problem would be if Win7 got stuck on using just the Intel GPU, which is drastically less capable than the AMD, instead of switching. Since I have not delved in the depths of Windows, would not know how to probe its interaction with the hardware, especifically to ensure that switching between the GPUs is occurring or at least that the faster of the two gets enabled if no autoswitching can take place. Maybe there's a utility out there to check it out?
Also and to be on the safe side, might want to run an Apple Hardware Test to confirm that all is OK on the hardware side: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

My MacBook pro has been running slow lately. It's not much about the internet, I mean slow in loading things like apps and pictures. When I double click an image on my desktop it takes forever to load it up. Help?

I would really like to get it back to how it was when I purchased it, every thing loaded up quickly. My friends have the same model as I and theirs run much faster than mine.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the 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 (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
