Replacement retina screen faulty. Rights?

Hi there,
I bought a 15" MacBook Pro retina Dec 2012. Started getting white lines flickering across the screen in Oct 2013, got it repaired under warranty in same month. Turned on laptop today, and hey presto same thing is happening.
My question is, my warranty ended Dec 2013, am I screwed? Or am I covered since its the same fault they corrected in Oct 2013?
Im hoping Apple should honour a year defect on the replacement part?
I don't use the laptop that much, so usage isn't the cause. Seems to be faulty screens.. What are my rights here?
I Can't talk to Apple tech support as my warranty has now lapsed based on purchase date.
help please?
thanks

IPad Mini Retina Screen needs replacing

I recently dropped and damaged the screen of my iPad Mini Retina and it does need replacing. The iPad is out of warranty.
Can anyone tell me how much Apple will cost to replace the Mini Retina Screen (I live in the UK) Perhaps I'm not reaching the right websites but I've come across poster saying that it can cost £200 plus to have Apple fix a screen, is this correct? Third Party firms appear to be doing the same job for much less, but I do appreciate that by going that route Apple will wash their hands of any future faults.
On their support website Apple have this to say. 'What does it cost? Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPad model and your AppleCare product coverage. Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty. '
I live in a small town quite a bit away from an official Apple outlet can anyone advise me if Apple licence thrid parties to do repairs, there is a wel established iPhone shop in my town and they do repairs but would these be 'official' repairs?
I'm sure some members have had cracked screens over the years, what did you do? Let Apple do the fix or go independant?
As always many thanks for your advice
Kevin

This is the US page about Apple's repair policy for iPad screens: https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/screen-damage/
If you choose to have anyone other than Apple work on the iPad, any and all support for the iPad by Apple won't be available to you anymore.
For what it's worth, I had an independent company (really just one guy running a shop) repair my iPad's cracked screen. The screen was damaged a few months after I'd purchased the iPad, and I paid around $100 for the work.
It's just about 3 years old now and the only issue I had was that the front camera didn't work after the screen was replaced. I brought the iPad back and he double-checked his work and got the camera functioning again. I haven't had any other issues.
If you're willing to take the risk of it being damaged and are OK with paying for a replacement device outright if something goes wrong after the repair, you may as well go with the third-party.
If you'd like the extra insurance (if you will) of Apple's support being available to you, then pay the ~$200 for them to do the work.

Replacing retina cracked screen in US

I've cracked my Retina screen. I saw on forum someone in India was able to send their Mac to Apple Service Center in india and have the display assembly replaced. Anyone knows what's the procedure for USA (San Francisco)?

You may call Apple support or take it to an Apple store.
Ciao.

Can you replace a retina screen without replacing the entire computer?

Hello,
I have the standard issue with a horrible LG screen causing image retention. I've had it for almost a year now and it hasn't bothered me too much but I have Apple Care and am within my rights to return it for a Samsung one.
I have a lot of things setup on my computer (it is for work) so it would be a big problem to have to replace the entire thing. Can you just replace the monitor whilst leaving the hard drive and everything else in tact?
Thank you kindly in advance for your responses
David

Judging from other responses, it appears Apple would be willing to just replace the screen. But except for your original choice of drive size, CPU speed and RAM, everything set up on your computer is what's on your HD (actually SSD). You've already been advised to make a backup, but if the backup you make is a clone and bootable, it can be written back to the internal drive and you'd be back in operation in a short time.
That would be just as true if you swapped if tor the 2013 rMBP, assuming that was offered with the screen you want instead.

My iphone 4 recently shattered and i was wondering are those screen replacements retina displays and the same quality as the apple screens ?

Are these cheaper alternative screen replacements retina display and the same quality as the apple screen

I am assuming you are having Apple do this. They will just replace the whole phone with a refurbished one.
If you're having it done at a third party place then you'll have to ask them all the questions.

White mark on the retina screen

My new iPhone 4S had a white mark on the right bottom of the retina screen.
Is this a hardware problem ? and can I have a new replacement ? Thanks.

I just got it from Apple Online Store on 17 Nov 2011 and the warranty period should be 90 days from the invoice date ?
Please refer attached picture for details. Thanks zsnow.

Retina Screen Crack

I recently replaced my 15 inch 2010 macbook pro with a new 15inch retina screen macbook pro and the screen has cracked. It has a hard shell cover (by Topideal) AND was inside a Belikin felt and leather soft sleeve. I put it inside my rucksack on my way back from the library, I did not drop it, nothing banged against it and there was nothing inside the bag but books. I treat this thing like a newborn baby and now it has a cracked screen and I don't know why. Has this happened anyone else? Will my warrenty cover it? I genuinely feel like I could cry right now.

Try taking it in to the nearest Apple store and show them how well you've treated it (you have an external case along with the belkin felt/leather sleeve and you had in in your rucksack) and yet the screen still cracked. Maybe it was a defective piece of glass on the screen or some other manufacturing defect. Perhaps Apple keeps a database and knows if other retina macbooks in the same manufacturing lot have an inordinate number of cracked screens. also some apple resellers offer screen breakage coverage for an extra fee (not sure if apple does) - did you purchase it when you got it? Bestbuy does this but not sure who else does. Too late now if you didn't probably, but never hurts to ask.
Good luck

Is the iPad Mini Retina screen the same as an iPad Mini screen?

So my iPad Mini Retina fell between my bed and the wall and one corner cracked. I know right? Stupidest thing ever.
The crack is not that bad, but I still want it replaced since I bought it 3 weeks ago and saved up foreverrr and it's a shame it cracked
I want to order my screen on eBay, and I was wondering if I buy a screen for iPad Mini 1 would it still be the same for iPad Mini Retina?
Thaanks.

If you replace the screen on your device, which is under warranty, you will void your Apple Warranty. Apple will not replace the screen, but they will offer an out of warranty replacement for about 1/2 the cost of the device when you bought it. At least you'd still have your warranty intact.

Photoshop CS6 looks pixelated on Mac Retina screen

I have Photoshop CS6 running on a MacBook Pro with a 15" retina screen. By default it runs in low-resolution, which makes everything pixelated. When I right-click on the app and go to "Get Info" I see an option to "Open in Low Resolution". When I uncheck it Photoshop opens in high-resolution and it looks beautiful, but it's unusable: I can't click on any of the tools, the sidebars, or anything. So I bring it back to low-resolution and everything works well, except that it looks pixelated again.
I have the 13.0 update (the latest one) and there aren't any additional updates according to Photoshop.
Is there any way to have Photoshop CS6 run in high-resolution?
Thank you very much!

Thank you, Gene, but that's exactly what I was trying before and it doesn't work. In my OP I explained what happens when I try that:
When I uncheck it Photoshop opens in high-resolution and it looks beautiful, but it's unusable: I can't click on any of the tools, the sidebars, or anything. So I bring it back to low-resolution and everything works well, except that it looks pixelated again.
When I open Photoshop and go to Help > System Info this is what I see:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.10.3
It's not 13.0.6. However, when I go to Help > Updates it tells me that all my applications are already up-to-date.
Any other ideas?

Can't open Adobe cs5.5 .dmg on a 15inch MacBook Pro Retina screen

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can help.
I recently bought a 15inch retina screen new macbook pro after my old one started to die last week - I bought Adobe cs5.5 a few years ago and I'd really like to be able to install in on the new laptop so I can get on with my work. As there is no disc drive I downloaded the file from Adobe which took many hours and now as soon as I click on it it comes up with this.
I tried to use the disc utility to do something with it but wasn't really sure what I needed to do and buggered up the first download and had to try and get it again. I haven't had this problem with my old laptop - i'd even updated the os to be running the same so I don't know why it's having a problem with the .dmg and as I haven't had the problem before I don't really know what to do. If someone could help me out I'd be super grateful as I do have client work I need to get on with.
Thanks so much,
Emilia

Me thinks you have tried to connect to a shortcut folder and not a genuine folder.
Note Mac OS X in Mac OS X 10.4 has 3 popular folder shortcut locations:
The leftmost column of the Finder window.
The horizontal toolbar on the top of the Finder window
The translucent bar which can be anchored on the side or bottom of the screen known as the Dock. These are not true folder locations, but only locations for shortcuts. When you click on a folder for a volume that is not mounted, or is a folder which was deleted it will behave in this fashion. Often if you click on it the right fashion, it will change to a question mark.
In addition if it is an alias to an existing folder that has no contents, it will behave this way from the three shortcut locations.
If you right click instead of the left click a folder, it may think you want to do something to the folder which you can't do. Make sure your mouse button functions properly as a Primary button on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse.
Also make sure Universal Access is not turned on as it too can cause funny behavior in the mouse click actions, in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access.

Problems after replacing LCD screen

I fell over and cracked the screen to my ipod nano 3rd gen. (also broke my arm but that was easier to fix!). Ive just bought a new lcd screen for it and followed all the directions on how to install it. The problem im having now is it all appears to be connected right but the screen just flashes white to black and beeps. It was only recognised on my laptop as "no name" not as an ipod. Could someone please help and let me know what i have done wrong? Before replacing the screen my ipod still worked perfectly. Thanks in advance!

Thanks man. I will take a look at it later on tonight and see what happens. From my understanding some of these LCD's have the airport built-in or is it the antenna? I think mine is one of those, But it looked like the antenna just runs on the side of the casing for the LCD display which is still intact as I only removed the actual LCD screen. I'm gonna see if the connector is in fact not pushed in all the way although I never touched it.

IPhone Retina Screen, Digitizer, and Glass Destroyed

Hi All,
So the sad, simple, and short version of my story is that my iPhone 4 was run over by a car last night. As you can imagine, it is not in pretty shape. The glass is cracked (so bad that small shards of glass are falling out) and the Retina screen is also destroyed. By destroyed, I mean that I can see black and white lines on only part of the screen (the rest being either blank or cracked LCD fluid) signifying that the screen is still receiving power, yet no image at all (other than the black and white lines) is shown on the screen.
The phone is still capable of making phone calls, receiving emails, and playing music, but obviosuly I can not see or interact with the phone other than through voice command.
So to the question. I am fairly handy with electronics and feel that replacing the Retina display, digitizer, and front glass would not be that hard of a task. However, before I purchase a new screen, I wanted to make sure that the issues I am seeing are merely caused by a busted Retina display and digitizer, and not a broken GPU or other motherboard issues. Does anyone know how I might be able to confirm this?
Thanks in advance for the help and input.
Jordan

Verify that the iPhone connects to iTunes correctly. Verify that the battery charges normally. Verify that the Home button functions, use Voice to open an App, make sure it is closed back up by Home button. Verify that Power button works, if you can verify if it wakes from sleep or something. Verify Mute/Vibrate switch works. Verify Volume buttons work. That is all I can think of as a good start. If these all worked I'd be happy.

Photoshop and Retina Screen

I have just bought a Macbook Pro with Retina Screen. When I am using Photoshop on it, it scales my photos down to twice the size. Now I learned that to get the right size of your pictures you will have to make Photoshop open i Low Resolution. But by doing this it (of course) doesn't look as sharp as it would in high resolution. Now my question is whether it is best to make your photos, gifs etc. in the low resolution or in the high/normal one. Does it still save your photos in high resolution when you opened them in low resolution, or will you have to use the high/normal resolution and then edit the pictures when they look much smaller?
Does a Retina Screen effect the quality of your things negatively?

Posting this here, in hope that it helps generate some answers.
I've been combing the web for a solution and nothing in site. I'm on MacBookPro Retina 15" running CS6 13.0.6.
Why can't Adobe PS render at same size as every other program? As a designer, 'lo-res mode' is not an option.
I'm attaching a screenshot of he SAME 480x480 IMAGE in photoshop, chrome and safari.
Can you imagine, as a web designer, how it's hard to work like this? There is no longer the 1:1 ratio that I get from CS6 on my iMac or PC.
Here's a screenshot of the SAME IMAGE on CS6 (at 200%) and Chrome (at 100%)... Pretty close!, but upon close examination, there's pixelation in CS6 side that's not there in the actual image. So, not comfortable with that workflow. I have relied on Photoshop as a pixel-perfect product for ~20yrs... now I can't use it on this machine.
I mean, even when I go to Help > Update ... the PS program's dialogue text is pixelated! Something is very 'off' here. Is this issue fixed in the CC version?
Need some answers, or it's time to look for new options.
Thanks!
David
