Ordering a Retina Display 15" MBP but have Some ?? Before I Order

Is the turbo boost something that brings the installed processor up to the stated speed and really works as if that processor was installed? why not just have the higher processor available for install?
Is there anyway to get the Samsung Display opposed to the LG? I do not think so and I have not tried to call the Apple order phone number, but I am hoping that if I call and ask they might help me get the Samsung retina display. I can feel the "NOs" coming with this question but I thought I would ask anyway.
I have tried to look through these posts and see if there is anything else I should be aware of when configuring the retina MBP 15" If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I am upgrading the SSD and adding iWorks, or the 3 programs need to be added seperately.
Does the 15" retina display get 2880x1800 Retina display?
Is there anyway to get the machine with the SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) or do you have to order the SuperDrive? Does this take advantage of the USB 30 connection?
Finally, any good personal expereinces with added speakers that really make the sound beyond beleif? I wil be using this machine for teaching and many of the DVDs are produced by a guy who puts a lot of work into the sound. I would like to take full advantage of this with a great set of external speakers. Are they making any speakers that use the thunderbolt cable technology to connect the speakers into the retina MBP? what about the USB 3.0?
O, one more. this machine uses USB 3.0. If I purchase some of these cables to use for various connections, does the Apple MBP retina dispaly require any special kind of this cable?
thanks!

"do you know when the current MPB (non retina display) was updated?"
Summer 2012.
See http://www.anandtech.com/show/6037/the-2012-macbook-pro-review for details.
"I have heard some negative things about the retina display"
Not sure what you heard but I'm very happy with my rMBP 13".
"why do they not install the SuperDrive in the retina display MBP?"
To reduce weight and thickness.
If you feel you need a SD then order the external USB SD, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f
"If they do not have a built in SuperDrive how do people install programs like Office or Photoshop?"
Most SW is now downloadable so the need for a SD is lessening. M$ and Adobe are two SW vendors trailing in this regards. Again, spend $79 and get the external SD if you feel its needed. The other way is to make disk images of the install DVD if you now have access to a SD.

By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?

If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

Can I ask apple store to replace my MBP with Retina display? because I have the ghosting issue with it!

I bought my MBP with Retina display less than two months ago and now I have this problem which the ghost of the application that was open, remains on the background.
I took the device to apple store and they decide to change a harware of it!! now I just feel like it is no going to be repaired.
just wanna know despite that 14 days of purchase date has passed, can I ask apple to replace the whole device and give me a new one or not!

you can ask them, but they are not obligated to fulfill your request. They are obligated to fix any issues related to defective craftsmanship as long as your mac is under warranty however.

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...

MacBook Pro (retina display)screen going black after some time.

Hi, I bought my macbook pro 13" (retina display) a week ago. I haven't configured the screen saver yet but today when I was using the apple tv to watch a movie already on my macbook hard disk the screen went black but when I touched the trackpad it came back but the Airplay would get disconnted.

Set the display to not sleep when watching movies.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver

Looking to buy but have some questions

I'm currently using a Mac Mini and Frontrow, I'm hoping to replace this with the AppleTV but have a couple of questions I hope someone can help with.
1) Can the screen saver display photos from iPhotos on the Apple TV, same
way as a Mac does.
2) I'm looking to export all my movies from EyeTV to the AppleTV format, all
my movies have descriptions in them and I know these are exported to the
AppleTV format. However does AppleTV show you this information when
you browse your movies, I know Front row doesn't
3) Can you just "copy" movies to the AppleTV or do they have to be synced,
as I have a small drive on my Macbook, it would be great to just copy them
over to the AppleTV and deleted them from my Macbook.
A lot of questions I know but would really appreciate any help

1) Can the screen saver display photos from iPhotos on the Apple TV, same
way as a Mac does.
Slightly differently, I'd say better.
2) I'm looking to export all my movies from EyeTV to the AppleTV format, all
my movies have descriptions in them and I know these are exported to the
AppleTV format. However does AppleTV show you this information when
you browse your movies, I know Front row doesn't
The tv shows some fields on the tv screen, eyetv doesn't always put these descriptions where tv can best use them, however it isn't too difficult to move them around in get info.
3) Can you just "copy" movies to the AppleTV or do they have to be synced,
as I have a small drive on my Macbook, it would be great to just copy them
over to the AppleTV and deleted them from my Macbook.
No they have to be synced. You can use an external drive for your itunes library though.

Considering Lightroom, but have some questions

Interested in taking my photography to a new level...currently have a Mac and two Cannon DSLRs. In the past I have used I photo for 'developing' however it is limiting. I have used Photoshop and even taken a class in it at a JC however I find that it is not intuitive for me and am looking for something different....Loved Illustrator when I used it many years ago doing graphic design work so not totally discouraged by Adobe products. Hear someone talking about Lightroom recently and wanted to find out a little more about it...my questions are as follows:
What are people's impressions of Lightroom? More intuitive than Photo shop?
More functionality than iPhoto?
Does Lightroom work well on the Mac? I have never used any adobe products on the mac, assuming they are similar, but have to ask the question.
Can you buy the software without using the cloud and paying monthly fees?
Thanks!

Most people love it, once they learn how it works. All editing is non-destructive and adjustments are saved to a database (catalog). You don’t save files as you do in Photoshop or iPhoto. The settings are saved automatically and applied on export.
Lightroom is more like Aperture than iPhoto. But Apple has dropped support for both apps so it’s a good time to consider Lightroom. LR6 is expected very shortly and you can take a 30 day free trial.
Yes works well on Mac OSX
Lightroom is available for outright purchase if you prefer not to subscribe to the Photography Plan ( LR+ Photoshop $9.99pm without any upfront capital outlay) however LR Mobile functionality and synchronization with iPad/iPhone is only available with a subscription.

Weird...cd plays on mbp but only some tracks play in car cd player

really weird. all tracks are aiff files
the burned cd seems to play fine on my computer but only some of the tracks will play on my car cd player.

There seems to be an uneasy and uncertain truce between burned optical media and its players. The two best actions are :
try a different brand of media, or use CD-R instead of CD-RW. I find the "R" versions more forgiving.
use a cleaning disk to muck out the car's player. Players in cars get filthy.

Is it possible to use "windows only" software on any mac? I have some photo editing software that I use that is windows only.
Thanks!

As Duane mentioned yes you can use Boot Camp which is part of Leopard to boot your machine to either Leopard or Windows. Again as Duane mentioned you will need a license of Windows to do it. By using Parallels or VM Ware's Fusion these allow you to run Windows inside of Leopard, again you need a license of Windows to install. Personally I use Fusion, the performance on my iMac is faster than my new new Windows notebook supplied from work. The main advantage of Parallels or Fusion is you don't need to turn off your machine and reboot into a different OS.
Depending on the Windows software you are running you may find a Mac equivilant and rather than investing in Parallels or Fusion you can invest in that and run everything in Leopard's native enviorment.
If you have a Apple store close by drop in and they can show you exactly what I've described.

Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os

After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
Thanks!

Hi again, Juan.
OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
See this taken from Finder Help....
Recover your entire system
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant.
Transfer your info from a computer or disk
If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML.

How to install CS5 on macbook pro retina display?? I have the original CD but mac doesn't have cd

I can't find the PS CS5 to install the trial anyways... so i need a solution

You will need a computer to "burn" the CD image onto a USB/thumb drive. I say burn, not copy, because you cannot simply copy the disk image. There are multiple Free OpenSource programs that can copy a disk image onto a thumb drive, so I will not suggest one. Burning an image, rather than copying will delete files on a thumb drive just as it would with a rewritable disk.
If it is an IMG and not an ISO image, I believe you may be able to copy it directly to a thumb drive and mount the image to install the program. You may also mount an ISO that has been copied if you have the correct program, but I would not advise it.
All of this should permitted within the license areement for the most restrictively licensed programs, so long as no copy is left on the computer used to copy the image, you keep the CD only as a backup, you are only using the copy to install a program for which you have a license, and you only install the program on one computer that you own and control.
I am not an attorney and do not work for Adobe, so you should read the license before following my advice to be sure.

Active Directory "Invalid User name and password" but have joined before

I have had a small handful of machine repeat the same thing. A workstation may still login but with an old PW, it will no longer authenticate to the domain. In times past I have been able to track the edu.kerberos.mit file and the directoryServices perference files. And then rebind the computer to the domain. These computers will begin to rejoin to the domain, but stop at step 3 which is verifying credentials and report and error saying my user name and password is incorrect, but they are correct. Keep in mind it goes through steps 1-3 very quickly. In the logs for Directory Services it tell me _Kerberos does not have a record for the server and it displays our domain controller. Then another right under saying Kpasswd does not have any record of the server. To me this indicates a Kerberos problem and KDC, which I understand runs locally on the machine now with Leopard. Keep in mind a new machine (machine I just imaged) will bind perfect.
Some machines even show still connected to the domain, one I could search via DSCL, but when I went to unbind it gave me a password error.
It seems like a password issue. Any suggestions?

Slower than slow. Not the first I know but have some questions please.

Hello fellow Verizon users. First let me tell you about my pc. It's second hand, HP Pavilion, Windows Vista, 32-bit, Windows 7, sp2. Hope this helps. My router is Gateway Westell 7500.
I have been reading the replies to others who have posted that their connections are very slow, but do not understand the replies and don't have the technical know-how to report back all of the info.
There was one link that I did click on where I typed in the IP address and it brought up my router information. All but two headings read that , more or less if you don't know what you are doing..Don't! However I did write one thing down. One was the down speed which is 3360 Kbps, and the up speed is 864 Kbps. Does this say anything about why my internet is so slow?
In task manager I noticed that there is information .... Processes, performance, CPU Usage and so forth. Although these numbers mean nothing to me, do these stats say anything about why I am having this issue? I was told at one time that the Services tab that shows a listing of the names and status of functions that are running, needs to be cleaned up. Here again, I do not know what these functions are and what they are for.
When I first signed on with Verizon High Speed Internet, everything ran fine and fast. I have talked to tech support about this and they took control over my pc, but did not fix anything.
Off of the topic, but when I would try to get help on Verizon Help Page, all I'd get is IE Cannot Display This Webpage. Called tech support and they installed Google Chrome. So what did that do? Anyway....
Also, when the Verizon Internet Security Suite is scanning while I am online, most of the websites stop responding or it takes so long to open a website that I just shut down.
I am at a loss here and getting ready to trash the thing. Could it be the router, or something else? I have cleaned up, done defragging, deleted cookies and so forth.
Thanks for reading and for any advice that someone could give to a not so technical user.

Sounds like you've done much of what would cover a slow computer. if the system, booted into either Windows Vista or Windows 7 isn't feeling slow it's most likely something up with the Internet connection. We'll sort that out for you and also work with anything that needs to be tweaked on the PC to get the most out of the service.
We've established one thing already. Your line is synchronized properly for 3Mbps service, which is 3360/864kbps. This also signifies you are on G.DMT ADSL or another ADSL1 standard. ADSL2 and ADSL2+ modes display different sync rates for the same speed.
If you could, can you supply to us a Speed Test from this website: http://web100.rit.edu:7123/ (needs Java) or for that matter, use http://www.speedtest.net/ to supply a speed test? The second site is easier to get results from as it gives you an image link. The first test is often more reliable for testing but you'll need to take a screenshot as lately they haven't been allowing Clipboard access due to tightened browser security.
In addition, if your service feels slow, does it only feel like this during the evening and night time hours or is it like this constantly, even in the morning?
Since you mentioned the machine getting really slow during a VISS scan, that makes me wonder: How much RAM is installed in your system? To find out go to the Start Menu, right click on Computer and then click on Properties. Under "Memory" it will display how much memory the system has, and if there is a certain amount of memory that can be used. Knowing that bit of information would be good too since a virus scan should not cause slow net performance unless the machine itself is loaded down. Your browser should be operating in RAM and using limited disk resources (which virus scans consume, due to Disk I/O).
