My brand new 13 inch retina display macbook pro won't turn on!?
Hello all,
I purchased a 13inch retina display macbook pro from an apple store at around 4pm today and at about 10pm (after I have been doing nothing more than downloading software and surfing the internet off of the power adapter) it randomly shut off as I was reading from my pdf math text book. I assumed it had died so I plugged it in and tried to turn it back on it turned right back on and went to the login screen. I barely had enough time to look and see that my laptop was at 40% power and charging before it shut off again and refused to turn back on. It does not respond in any way to the power button (visual or fans whirring etc.) and I currently have it charging up on my bed. It acknowledges the charger (going from a brief green light to the amber) and I have tried resetting the SMC multiple times by now. When I do so the light turns green for a moment and then returns to amber.
I am beyond furious, school starts tomorrow and I was really hoping my first personal laptop and first mac would come through for me. I hope someone out there can help and restore my faith.
Cheers,
Danny
I Have this issue as weLl. I have used my notebook for last 6 months and don't want yo lose the data. I have done SMC reset and it won't make a difference. the notebook has turned into a brick with no signs of turningon, boot, fans etc. what can I do other than take it to apple store? Is there any way to reset battery externally? Definitely not happy with experience.

My retina display macbook pro won't turn on!!!
over the past few days, my Macbook Pro Retina has been acting up. It doesn't wake up from sleep although it sounds like its on (fan is running). I tried a SMC reset but that was to no success. Help!!! this is the error message that comes up when I am able to restart (or start) the CPU:

USB Superdrive and my new 15" Retina display MacBook Pro
This probably sounds stupid, but I recently purchased a new 15" retina display Macbook Pro. A week after I brought it home, I went to put in a DVD, and discovered it didn't have a built in CD/DVD drive. (DUH - first one I ever bought that didn't have one - so much for old guy assumptions.) So, I went out and spent more money on an Apple USB Superdrive, which the Apple store employee cheerfully told me was simply plug and play into the USB port. I plugged, and it won't play. In fact, after 15 seconds, it automatically ejects the CD/DVD. The instructions that came with the Superdrive said "plug and play." That was it. What can I do to get this thing to work??
I really feel like an idiot. I took the Apple USB Superdrive and the computer back to the Apple Store and told the employee it didn't work. He said, "Sure it does. I have one hooked up at home on the exact same computer. (MacBook Pro 15" with retina display) He plugged it in, inserted a DVD, and, lo and behold, it worked perfectly. What a shock! Now, here's the kicker. The Apple USB Superdrive had been packed in the box upside down. The bottom of the Superdrive is black with a beautiful Apple logo on it. The top of the Superdrive is the plain burnished silver color with no identifying marks or logos. I had set it on my desk the way it came from the box - UPSIDE DOWN ! With the Apple logo on top, I had been loading the CD's/ DVD/s upside down. Of course it's not going to work that way! It now functions perfectly after I was shown that I had the Superdrive upside down on the desk. I tell you, it's tough to get old. A nice little Apple logo on top of the Superdrive instead of on the bottom might have helped too. Problem solved......

I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?
You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:

Magsafe 2 for retina display macbook pro
I've had two different MacBook Pro's since 2006... I went through 4 magsafe power adapters as the cable coming straight off the connector always began to permanently bend at the magsafe connection point such that I didn't trust it from an electrical safety point of view (after seeing one arc at that point a time or two). Then when I bought what would be my 5th power adapter, much to my positive surprise, Apple had done a redesign that had the cable coming out at a right angle with repect to the way the older ones had the cable come out... They also beefed up how the cable comes out of the magsafe end.
Now I see a picture of the 85W power adapter for the new Retina display macbook pro I am planning to buy soon... And it looks like they've reverted to the old "wire straight out from the connector" approach...
Is that true??? That would be a significant step backward for me as where I have to plug in my mac (to the right of where I sit) having a straight cable coming out from the left of the mac is just going to cause me to start wasting power adapters again...
Might I be able to continue to use the 85W power adapter I currently have on my 17 inch 2009 macbook pro??? And it's not the original power adapter but one I bought maybe in 2011 or so... I love this one where the cable leaves in the direction heading out away from the top of the mac rather than the ones that came out straight to the left... And the picture of the new one appears to come out straight to the left again...
And what do you even call the power adapter I have that I bought in about 2011 where the cable comes out at a right angle to the magsafe connector itself???
Any help folks can provide on the questions above would be much appreciated... thanks... bob...Ahhh, remember the Mac Pro from a few years ago that used a refrigerant?
And a number of years ago the Cray XMP and YMP had all of the cpus immersed in refrigerants because they ran so hot they were melting the solder and chips. Those were something to run on...unbelievable speed, well for that point in time.
I used to have a watch that had more computing power than the IBM 1620 I first learned to program on. -
Application Manager not working on Retina Display Macbook Pro

I am currently an admin with managed permissions so I am at a loss as to why I cannot update photoshop and illustrator to the latest versions. I really need help getting this issue taken care of so I can maximize the tools at my disposal.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?
I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection. I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros. There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue. I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery. I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions? Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.
Sparon,
I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket. -
Retina Display MacBook Pro eye problem and strain
Hi, the name is Ben
Recently, I boought a retina display and have since been having noticeable eye problem.
(strain, fatigue, oversensativity to computer monitor/screen ligthing)
My question was, has anyone been experiencing the same.
I use my computer pretty much all day, since my work/studies are all based on it.
Still, after 2 weeks of using retina display macbook pro, I have rapidely seen my eyes
starting to hurt, being oversensitive to computer monitor (not that I can't use any, but am
very sensitive to any lighting and need particular moderation in usage)
Now true, there ARE many good habits I did not know of before,(see some examples below)
that I am trying to adopt but still (reducing only in part the problem), I must say I am rather worried,
since I have never had any similar problem in 5 yearsof using my previous 13", macbook, mid 2007.
Any commments, or suggestion (constructive of course) would be welcome.
(few examples of of good habits I have tried so far)
as regularly standing (/30 min),
look at something far away for 20 second (/20 min), blinking regularly, closing eyes for a moment,
adjusting lighting in work environnement, buying an antiglare film or device (nushield) , adjusting screen position,
not working to close to screen, using bigger fontsan hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
Ok, I'll explain why.
First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore. -
