New MacBook Pro Retina with NEC 27 inch monitor

I've got a new MacBook Pro Retina and I'm trying to use it with my NEC 27 monitor. I connected the two via Apple DVI to Thunderbolt adaptor, but I can only get the monitor to operate at 1500 pixels with the MacBook Pro even though my monitor supports 2560x1440pixels. This is really frustrating since I purchase this lapto to use with my monitor. Any advice?  Thanks, Lucian

When going to the 2560x1440 ( or 1600) resolution you will need the dual-link DVI adapter (along with a dual link DVI cable, of course).   The single link will work...but at lower resolutions.

  • New MacBook Pro (retina) eating up Storage

    I synced my new Macbook Pro retina (with 124GB Flash Storage) with my old MacBook (from 2006, with added storage of up to 200GB). Before syncing I removed all photo's, videos, music etc, to make sure there was as much space as possible.
    I had about 20GB of space on there, but through usage it has now gone down to 200mb, if there is a large looking file I delete it, but it keeps filling up again almost to the point where the computer is unusable.
    I think it might be something today with my Outlook Database (I installed my Office 2011, and it took the info from my Entourage 2004.)
    Does anyone know anything like this?
    I think I might have to scrap my profile and start all over again.
    Any help greatly welcomed.
    Thanks.

    You may be using IMAP, but it may be set to cache locally (I do this intentionally in Apple Mail so I can read IMAP emails when not connected to the Internet).
    If it's doing that, you've probably got a huge email cache, including attachments, inside that Main Identity database. Unfortunately I don't know if the database can be compacted/optimized, but you might want to look into that possibility on the Microsoft support site.
    Because I am not familiar with the inner workings of the user identity database, I do not know how it stores cached of documents from other Office apps like Word or PowerPoint, I'm only bringing that up as something you might want to research as well since 40GB seems to be a lot for just emails. I'm sure you're not the first to run into this.
    (Edit) I just looked at mine. I use Word and Excel but not Entourage/Outlook. My Main Identity is about 30MB, if you want to use that as another data point. Not gigabytes...megabytes.

  • 4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage

    Hello,
       I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input?   Thanks!!
    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? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.

    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.

    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.

  • I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine.  I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

    I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option?  I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt!  Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours???  I've been hearing these horror stories...

  • Issues with restoring a Time Machine backup onto new Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've been trying to restore a Time Machine backup made today from my old Macbook Pro laptop. I didn't restore from the first start up (foolishly, seemingly) simply because of the trivial reason of wanting to see the system all clean and new.
    I've tried the Migration Assistant but it gets stuck on "looking for source..", despite having the ex.HD plugged in and double checking the existance of the backup itself on the ex.HD.
    I've also tried booting the laptop up in the 'restore' mode (cmd R) and restoring from there but it sends me in a constant loop of 'this backup was from a previous model of laptop' or something to that affect. It also doesn't display the recent backups at all, only displaying those from the beginning of this year for some reason. All backups are in the same place on the ex.HD so its not an issue with locating the backups.
    Really stuck on this one! Would really appreciate some help!
    Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

    Yes, you can restore to another machine if needs be.

  • Macbook pro retina display 15 inch ram upgrade with apple care

    hi,
    I have a early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina Display 15 inch.
    Doing some research, i do realized that RAMs are not upgradeable due to being embedded to motherboard.
    I was hoping if there any chance to upgrade my RAM from 8 gb to 16 gb through Apple Care that i currently have.
    I would love to hear back any feed backs on any possible way to upgrade your RAMS in MPR 15 inch.
    thank you much!!!

    thumbmania,
    It's impossible for anyone - Apple included - to upgrade the RAM on a Retina MacBook Pro. With those machines, you have to live with what you originally purchased.
    Sorry,

  • Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

    Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

    Yes, I too had this problem.
    I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.

  • New Macbook Pro Retina 15inch is showing up as 1.9months old with 2 cycles on 'Battery Health'!?

    Hi,
    I've just recieved my New Macbook Pro Retina 15inch and installed 'Battery Health', but for some reason it is is showing my Macbook as 1.9months old with 2 cycles!? This Macbook isn't even a day old.. Is this normal!?
    Please advise..
    Thanks,
    P

    That is not unusual.  Note that the actual maximum charge is well above the designed level which is the most important criteria.

  • Did new Macbook Pro Retina 15" Support Miracast in Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp?

    Have latest Macbook Pro Retina with Intel WLAN 802ac standart.
    Want use Miracast with this. Is this possible?

    Yes...
    I also just recently purchased a MacBook Pro retina 15 (mid-2014) with bootcamp (windows 8.1) installed.  While using my windows partition, the MBP seems to be running a bit hot, at least hotter than the OS X partition.
    As for comparison, I have the 2012 MacBook Pro retina 13 with bootcamp (windows 8.1).  It does not get as hot as the 15, and in fact, I don't think it runs hotter than OS X...
    Any thoughts?  Is it perhaps because I have the NVIVIDA dedicated graphics and in the windows partition, IRIS PRO isn't running?

  • New MacBook Pro retina 13" arrived - first impressions and questions!

    My new MacBook Pro retina 13" arrived today, two weeks earlier than the promised delivery date. My version is the 2.6 GHz i5, 512 GB SSD and I maxed the RAM out to 16 GB, since there is no upgrade later. I also customized the keyboard, since I live in Japan but prefer the US keyboard.
    I posted unpacking photos and initial comments to my blog: http://lerner.net/new-macbook-pro-arrived/
    I want to talk about some of those points, and ask some more detailed questions here. I hope others find the questions useful.
    1. The keyboard is extremely nice. I like it better than the Bluetooth keyboard I have for my iMac right now. It has a nice feel to it.
    2. No dead pixels! As some of you might now from old messages, I get really paranoid about new Apple notebook computers. If I find even one dead pixel it gnaws at me and I call Apple and complain until they exchange it for a perfect screen. Well I’m happy to report that I went through thorough pixel tests in white, black, red, blue and green and all the pixels seem 100% perfect. Yay!
    4. The speaker seems quite nice. I played some music, and it sounded very beautiful to me, with good volume. I know some reviews of the MacBook Pro criticize the speaker quality, but it sounds as good or better than any of the speakers I currently have. I was quite pleased with that.
    5. The retina display is very beautiful of course. I don’t need to have it turned up anywhere near the maximum brightness. There is a very good illumination range.
    6. Because of the SSD drive, start up is very quick. Also it makes no noise at all. And it’s very light.  I’m glad I went for the 13 inch pro model. It was just a little bit more expensive, and just 200 g heavier. I can see this  replacing my iMac with the external monitor I bought.
    Some questions:
    Q1. Do I need protection pads for the hand rest to prevent discoloration over time? My old MBP 17" would get black-blotchey after a while. Eventually I got the top case replaced under AppleCare and protected it with pads. That was the late 2006 model. Is the construction material the same? Will my nice metal body lose its metallic finish and show dark blotches over time without protection?
    Q2. What are the best practices for battery use and sleep? My iMac is on all the time and only the display sleeps. I hear it's not best for the lifetime of the MacBook Pro to leave it connected all the time. Yet I need to run my daily CCC (Carbon Copy Clone) complete bootable backup, which runs at 3:30 am every day. So it seems I need to keep it plugged in all the time. Any suggestions here, regarding both battery charging and also turning it off vs putting it to sleep vs power nap vs leaving it running all the time like I do with my iMac?
    Q3. Is the "put hard disk to sleep when possible" meaningful at all for SSD?
    Q4. Is there a sleep indicator when the lid is closed? I didn't notice any.
    Q5. I notice I can view my iMac's music and TV library and everything plays instantly. That’s just wireless right? Because I have sharing turned on on my iMac I suppose. It seems as fast as if it were on my MacBook Pro though.
    Q6. A strategy question: I wonder if I should migrate from Time Machine and carry along years of garbage and wasted disk space, or just install and move things as needed. I'm tempted to do the latter and start afresh. Especially since a lot of stuff is in the cloud already: Evernote, Dropbox, etc. Initial installation of some apps, like Parallels Desktop and Office might take some time, but I bet I would save a huge amount of disk  space.  Yet the Migration tool which uses Time Machine is supposed to be good.
    I guess that's it for now.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Q6 (Migrate using Time Machine?)
    If you don't want to automatically bring over everything, I would use CCC to clone the old system drive and then use that clone to drag the wanted files onto the new machine.  I would treat that CCC clone as a read-only archive until you were sure there are no additional files you want to migrate.
    I use a combination of CCC and Time Machine to backup my Mac.  CCC provides the reliability of simplicity and quick booting should the internal drive fail.  Time Machine's incremental backups have saved my bacon several times when a file "disapeared" or I saved a modificaton that I needed to reverse.  However the complexity of Time Machine during full restores can be a problem.  I have had Time Machine full restores fail at which time I was very happy I had a second backup to fall back on.   It is prudent to maintain more than one backup.
    I agree completely about using the combination of CCC and Time Machine and it sounds like you and I use it the exact same way, and for the exact same reason. I hae also had Time Machine full restores fail (particularly with Apple Mail) and was very glad to also have the CCC backup.
    The only thing I'm concerned about is making sure I grab everything I need for particular applications. For example, I'm not quite sure what all needs to be copied over from CCC to the new computer for Office 2008, which I am still running. It might be easier in that case to re-install certain software.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Brand new macbook pro retina - fan noise when running hola?

    Hi everyone, I need some help here please!
    I have a brand new macbook pro retina 13 - just bought in January this year - and have had no problems so far apart from the wifi dropping occassionally.
    So I just downloaded hola unblocker for firefox but whenever I stream anything using it on netflix my fan starts whirring so loudly - it's never even made a noise before! and I can feel the base of the mac getting hotter. So I've closed hola/firefox and it stops after a minute or so. I've tried a few times again with the same problem.
    I'm just using it to watch US netflix so probably not technically legal anyway.... but other friends manage it no bother - do mac's just know I'm doing something wrong? haha
    Thanks for any advice.

    Try running Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the Energy button at the top and then stream a video. Watch the Energy Impact.
    I suspect what you'll see is that your rMBP is doing a lot of work while you're streaming the video, and that makes it get hot. The fan struggles to dissipate the resulting heat in order to prevent damage and makes noise in the process.
    It may also have a guilty conscience.
