Payment info about the macbook pro (ritena)
If i was to buy a macbook pro ritene display and buy it online would i have to pay full price or pay it off over a certain amount of time,
Yep. That appears to be the only option you have other than paying cash. There are other alternatives (e.g. credit cards [issued by your bank] with a lower interest that might be more suitable).
You could always look for a summer job to get a little extra cash — that might be your best option and save you from paying too much in interest, or the having to get a standard MBP instead.

What is so "Pro" about the MacBook Pro?
"Pro" is short for professional and the Apple brand has been synonymous with creative professionals for at least 20 years... I know, asI am one of them.
Now, the MAC PRO (tower) is no doubt, a professional grade machine. With 4 hard drives, 2 DVD drives, 4 expansion bays, 5 USB ports and 4 Firewire ports, and a whopping 128GB RAM, I'd say it lives up to the name "Pro". This machine IS the industry standard in film editing, recording studios, graphic design, ect... The one catch, is that it's not portable...
In come the MAC BOOK PRO. It's lightweight and has excellent battery life which is ideal for portability.
Now here's what I'm getting at: When you're on the road, at a meeting, or working in the field, you're probably not going to need all of the hardware of the Mac Pro, but only 2 USB ports? That sounds like a joke to me!
Say you meet someone at a cafe and you decide to transferring some files from your USB drive to his... That's it, you're done for USB ports. You can't even can't grab a charge for your phone, your ipad, plug in a digital camera or whatever because it only has 2 USB ports. And it really annoys me when I see these PC guys with laptops half the price of a MacBook and they're sitting there with all kinds of stuff plugged in. Notebooks like the Inspiron's and ASUS have 5 USB ports... FIVE!!!
So I ask you, "what's so pro about the MacBook Pro?" Having to constantly plug and unplug peripherals is quite amateur to me.Melophage wrote:
rick268,
the “Pro” in MacBook Pro was in comparison to the “Pro-less” MacBook. If the two USB ports on a MacBook Pro don’t suffice for your needs, then you can either bring along a powered USB hub, or you can simply not get a MacBook Pro — get one of its competitors instead, which has the number of USB ports which you need.
I know I can get a USB hub, or better yet, I've been looking into a thunderbolt hub- I just wish I didn't have to sacrifice ports in Apple's conquest to make the thinnest laptop in existance. -
I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes. -
This will be my first time buying a laptop and I was thinking about the macbook pro with retina display but the price is a little to high I was wondering for any suggestions? Like other ways to get it cheaper?
Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

About the MacBook Pro 13'3 Keyboard Backlight
I am a new macbook pro user.
about the Keyboard backlight. it is off now.
how can i ON it again? it will be on automatically by the sensor??The ambient light sensor (in the top of the display beside the iSight camera) controls the KB backlight as well as the display brightness, if you have the appropriate boxes checked in the Displays and Keyboard panes of System Preferences. You can refine the KB brightness manually using the F5 and F6 keys when the KB backlight is on, but when the sensor judges that there is enough light so the backlight isn't needed, you won't be able to turn it on at all — unless you install [Lab Tick|http://labtick.proculo.de>, which provides complete manual control of KB backlighting.

Heading to Russia and wondering about the Macbook pro's care.
Hi, I will be heading to Russia this January and I was wondering if my mac would be fine in my bag if the weather will be bellow 40 degrees fahrenheit? Also what is the hottest temperature would it be fine in?
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: –13° to 113° F (–24° to 45° C)
Good luck - we've a few Russian's on this board - maybe one of them will share their experiences.

When will the MacBook Pro be updated (Quad core coming soon?)
Hey! Just a quick question. I've been hearing rumours everywhere that a quad core MacBook Pro is on the way. Apparently Apple Genius' are now being trained on new MacBook Pros and there's been other rumours floating around.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any extra information as I think the MacBook Pro's are so sexy and I really want one, but should I wait? Quad Core sounds good!Sorry, but no one outside of Apple knows anything reliable about future product releases. Anything anyone here would post would be pure speculation which isn't allowed here (the Discussions are for technical support on existing products). Whether any rumors the various sites report have any validity, your guess will be as good as ours.
And just for future use, questions about the MacBook Pro will best be posted in the forum for that model rather than here in the iMac area.
Regards.

A few days ago i bought the macbook pro in a Providence. In late Summer i will come back to my Country - Ukraine. I would like to know about a tax for my
laptop. Can i return tax? Through the TAX FREE or return in airport? What should i do?You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.

How do I transfer info. from my old Imac G3 hard drive to the macbook pro?
Hello,
My imac g3 died last year and I finally upgraded to the macbook pro. Well, the G3 fizzed out on me and no longer turns on so I finally pulled the hard drive out. Now the next problem: can i access the information on this hard drive on my current computer? I had some form of OS X on it but that's about all I remember. If anybody has any helpful ideas that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,Putting the drive into another machine and then booting it as a targetted disk is fine - it will just appear like an external drive on your machine. I think bustardvan's confusing this with a clone or migration.
Your best and simplest solution is to go for an external enclosure - you put the drive in it and then it appears as an external drive on your machine.
OR
You could consider this
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NVSPATARH/
which should connect to the drive and allow you to see it on your new desktop - but as I'm not super familiar with it give the chaps at OWC a call and make sure it will be fine. Looks like it will be and you could probably easily sell it later - I'm saying that on the assumption your old drive is pretty small and you won't want to carry on using it as an external drive long-term. If large get an enclosure and keep it as an external drive.
Best of luck.
PS - Sorry if that's a bit garbled. I'd suggest an enclosure if the drive is going to be kept long term, otherwise the adapter if all you want to do is get the data from it. -
I have programmed iCal and Address book to sync via MobileMe. The info I type in iCal on the MacBook Pro get updated on the iPad, but not the other way around. Any hints?
Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

I downloaded Piezo to my iMac about a month ago. Now I can't download it to my laptop even though I have authorized the MacBook Pro in iTunes. When I open the App Store, the Piezo app indicates that I have to pay. How do I download Piezo to my laptop, which I am entitled to do?
I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

I'm about to buy the MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch in USA. I will be using predominantly in Europe. What accessories should I be buying?
We can't discuss what Apple is going to do or new products, but it does make a lot of sense if your gut feelings tell you to buy now.
I got a really bad feeling and ran out and got the last of the 17" MBP's with anti-glare and Snow Leopard.
Turned out I was right in listening to my gut, the abortion of OS X Lion came out killed my 15", Cupertino HQ was pwned by Flashback and Apple pulled the 17" MBP completely off the market.
Apple has purposely put the Retinas front and center in their stores, so the majority of the know-nothings buy those. If they thought a bit about buying a machine with future options in upgrade options they would, like you, choose the non-Retina.
Really if you want choice in hardware, your going to have to switch to a PC. As you can pretty much get anything you need on that platform. Apple's hardware choices have been sealing up and their OS X is turning into iOS, soon it's going to be nothing more than a dumbed down iPad.
Windows 8 Pro can be downgraded to Window 7 even, and since Win 7 is supported until 2020, you should be set for quite a few more years. The choice of software is vast on Windows and it's sort of the next eveolutionary step up actually. -
has anyone had trouble with the touch pad on the macbook pro not working properly. I have to click it 3 or 4 times befre it responds. Can these be replaced?
Your MacBook Pro has enough compute power to do airframe stress analysis modeling or weather forecasting. This is not a computational issue.
Most USB printers do the imaging on the Mac, then send the stream of bits to the printer. The speed of doing this depends on the Printer driver.
Some drivers will image the page in "slices", and then pause to image the next slice after the first one completes. This may also depend on whether you have enough RAM memory available to do the imaging for a whole page at a time.
You have not mentioned what Printer, or whether this is indeed the latest driver for it.
