Replacing SSD MacBook Pro mid 2014

Hi all.
I Would like to buy a mid 2014 MacBook pro retina 13" but there is only 128Gb SSD on it. I read about welded ssd. Is it true?
can I replace this SSD after buying? Do you which kind of SSD do I have to buy?
thank you.

They may be soldered to the motherboard, if that's what you mean. But there are no compatible replacements. You can check regularly with OWC to see if and when replacements are made available.

MacBook Pro mid 2014

Received my new 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro (mid 2014). Had a 2.3 GHz (early 2011) MBPro. Note: both have 16 GB RAM running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4. Nothing drastic in the looks department until you look close. This post, isn't about esthetics (which are great BTW). It is to get some idea from other users of their experiences. Mine came with the optional 1 TB SSD (which after looking around in teardown photos - are like memory sticks rather than the old HD looking device). I immediately partitioned it to be similar to the way my old 2.3, then having used Carbon Copy Cloner (which I do daily) to mirror my boot disk, I used CCC to make my new boot partition on the 2.8 just like my 2.3.
To my question(s)... The 2.8 MBP memory seems to be close to the max (16 GB) often. I do (and have often on the 2.3) had many apps open when I'm doing desktop publishing/web development-publishing, like Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Word, and a number of other running. No appreciable notice in the system slowness. A few spinning balls here and there but as with the 2.3, could have a ton of apps running.
One spinning ball incident I looked at the Activity Monitor and the RAM was at 13 - 14 GB. Running Cocktail to purge memory not in use only releases a few GB, BTW.
Since this MBPro is newly on the shelves, probably totally (duh) architecture, etc. So this may be normal and something I need to get use to unless problems arise.
Anyone think I should back up (not backup) and start over with the OS X and reinstall a clean/fresh copy on the boot volume and let the installer copy over my apps, folders, configurations, etc.?
BTW - this 2.8 may look a lot like my 2.3 but there's so much different I need to read up on the new stuff.
Tom

FYI - tried to do a clean install of Mavericks (noted in another thread) and the Installer said "Mavericks cannot be installed on this volume." What? Now I wondering if I messed up and should have made a copy of the OS that came on the MBPro if this is a different version of Mavericks.
PS: Memory issue is still there: at this time 12:60 GB out of 16:00 GB with very few applications running. ?????

After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement

After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, on 10.9.4) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement. I have tried a generic usb mouse and my Razer Deathadder usb mouse. Both mice work before sleep; but after sleep, the computer no longer recognizes mouse movement while still recognizing the mouse buttons when pressed. Any idea why this is occurring?

Hello, chocotac0.

MacBook Pro Mid 2014 shut off randomly and won't turn back on.

Hello,
My MacBook Pro(Mid 2014) won't turn back on. I was just typing up my essay and it just turned straight off and won't turn back on. It has happen several times before and all I had to do was press the buttons(SMC method) and the PVRAM thing and it would turn back on. But now it doesn't turn on at all. How do I fix this issue? I had went today to the Apple Store and had a appointment at 3:15-3:25 and I was late by 2 minutes, so they couldn't help me and offered me to come back at 5PM, but will busy so I asked for 5 Monday. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Back when it was operating it would shut off whenever I was using it at the random times. This is my first MacBook so I don't know if it's suppose to get Hot and loud sometimes when operating and then cool off afterwards if that helps out. It shutoff last week wednesday and doesn't turn on at all, but will charge to fully green though. Anyone got any suggestions? I do have a MacBook screwdriver to open it, so if anyone knows anything about the inside and how to resolve the issue it would be great. I don't know how to remove the battery so if you do know please tell me or some keyboard trick would be helpful! All my data is on this so I would like to solve before Apple erases my data.

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.
Also, see here http://paulthetall.com/far-cry-mac/

Is KVM VGA Passthrough Possible on Macbook Pro Mid 2014?

I've been using Arch on and off for a couple years on different hardware, and this time I'm trying to get it to work semi-flawlessly on my mid 2014 Macbook Pro. My Linux skills are meager, so I need some help understanding if VGA passthrough is possible on this machine, and if it is, how to set it up. I have hope that it might work after reading this blog and the Arch forums. An outline of my current setup follows. I will also document progress and research for anyone who might want to try this in the future.
Here are the specifications for this machine:
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, Nvidia GT 750M 2 GB
I have successfully dual-booted Mac OS X Yosemite and Arch with EFI on a btrfs partition using this blog and the wiki as starting points. Somlo's research also helped. All the basic functionality works (networking, WiFi, etc.), and I am able to boot the physical Arch partition as a Virtualbox VM with the help of the wiki. However, I'm having trouble with getting the integrated Intel graphics to work. The following command:
lspci | grep VGA
prints the Nvidia card specifications, and nothing about the Intel graphics.
Reading this blog, it looks like someone had to apply a "grub gmux" patch to grub to disable the Nvidia card at boot. I feel uncomfortable installing anything other than the official Arch packages, so I have to know if installing a patched grub is still necessary, and if installing it would still allow me to use VGA passthrough in KVM.
My ambitious to-do list looks like this:
1. Dual-boot Mac OS X and Arch with btrfs. -done
2. Setup the physical Arch partition to boot in Virtualbox. -done
3. Get Intel graphics to work on Arch ideally with OpenGL support. -done
4. Get Enlightenment working as the desktop environment on Arch. -done
5. Get Qemu+KVM to boot off the physical Mac OS X partition. -tbd
6. Enable VGA passthrough for Mac OS X from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
7. Install Windows as a VM in Qemu+KVM. -tbd
8. Enable VGA passthrough for Windows from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
9. Work and do research on Mac OS X from Arch, play hardcore 3D games on WIndows from Arch, play around with Arch, and live happily ever after. -tbd
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance for any hints/input.
Edit:
The Ubuntu forums has something about getting the two graphics cards to be recognised by using `refind` instead of `grub`. I was able to set up `refind` to boot using the `efi-stub`, but:

still only shows the Nvidia card. The boot options suggested by this blog did not change anything. However, this very helpful discussion led me to this on-going project. I patched the kernel according the instructions in the said project's `readme`, and Arch is now able to see the two graphics cards and an extra Intel audio controller.

Also, I was able to fire up Enlightenment using the Intel graphics card and `0xbb`'s `gpu-switch` script. After using some post-installation tips from this, the computer started getting hot. I followed this thread to get it back to normal.
Edit:
So I finally got some time to experiment on this. I ended up installing Gnome 3 after trying out Enlightenment, KDE Plasma 5, and Cinnamon. I thought Gnome 3 and Cinnamon had the best Hi-DPI support of those four. Cinnamon's look was too much trouble for me to configure, so I ended up choosing Gnome 3.
To achieve the graphics card passthrough, I tried setting up and starting a VM in `virt-manager`, but starting the VM would cause Arch to freeze. Finally, I tried following the instructions on the wiki, this thread, and the Arch forums. I haven't yet tried booting the Windows installer, but the following are the steps I took so far:
1. Uninstall all `nvidia` drivers from my system.
2. Blacklist the `nouveau` driver.
3. Add `pci-stub` to the modules array in `mkinitcpio.conf`.
4. Recreate the `initramfs`.
5. Add `intel_iommu=on pci-stub.ids=10de:0fe9,10de:0e1b,8086:156c` to the `refind.conf` `options` line.
- These three IDs are ones for the Nvidia graphics, Nvidia sound, and the "Intel Corporation Device" (probably the HDMI port, or something related to the
ethernet card), which belong to the same "IOMMU group". What was curious was that a Gigabit ethernet controller would appear in the IOMMU group iff I had
an ethernet cable connected to my thunderbolt port. I don't know if I have to add the ID for this, but so far there are no complaints about it in `dmesg`.
6. Install `ovmf-svn` from the AUR.
6. Follow the "Binding a device to vfio-pci" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
7. Follow the "Testing if its working out" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
So far, the test at step 7 is failing -- I get a `vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents` complaint in `dmesg`, and I see a prompt in the `qemu` window. I'm supposed to be getting a black `qemu` window, and a prompt on an external monitor which I haven't connected yet. I read the comments on this blog about graphics card ROM and EFI compatibility, and it looks like my graphics card ROM can't be read. I also read that the graphics card ROM would only be read once by qemu/KVM and saved as a file for later use, so all I need to do to get around that is pass a snapshot of the ROM of the Nvidia GT 750M card to qemu/KVM. Apparently, "You can download the 750m rom files directly from Lenovo's website on the support page" according to this thread, but all I see is this. I will continue hunting around for a ROM file for this graphics card.

It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 totally blank screen

When I power on, my macbook pro does nothing (blank screen) after the sound.
System:
-Macbook Pro Retina 13' (Mid 2014) 256GB SSD, i5, 8Gig RAM
-Yosemite (10.10)
I tried to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp assistant on Yosemite.
After installing Windows 8.1, it asked me to restart.
When I restarted it stuck on blank screen. I've heard the startup noise but nothing happened.
I tried many startup key combinations such as; Command(Alt), cmd+R,cmd+V,T, but the screen is always blank.
Although the screen light is, on the screen is totally blank.
I did resetting SMC, and also I did cmd+alt+P+R (I've heard 4 times startup sound) but the screen is always blank.
Nothing happens. I can only shut down by pressing the power button for 4 seconds.
As a result when I power on, I hear the sound but nothing happens. Nothing on the screen.
What I did before was;
0- The system is a brand new mac. I bought it 1 week ago.
1- I tried to install windows 8.1 using bootcamp. But failed. Because windows installer gave me an error that windows can not be installed on GPT partition.(I have also MacBook Air and MacMini with bootcamp Windows 8.1 working fine.)
2- Then I rebooted using Alt key then booted to MacOSX and deleted the windows part and many combinations. But failed. The error was always the same GPT error.
3- I reinstalled Yosemite tried all the steps but failed with the same error (GPT error)
4- I phoned to apple helpdesk and they tried to help installing windows but we couldn't succeed.
5- We had another same macbook pro. And we could install windows 8.1 easily.
6- I compared the two machines in windows setup. The problematic mac had first partition labelled EFI.
7- Then after a few hours. I tried to install again. And saw that the EFI label was gone!. But I don't know how this is happened.
8- I was happy and started to install windows. After installing the system gone!!.

I would return it for an exchange. At a minimum, I would take it in to an Apple store.

Bootcamp Windows 8.1 Overheating on Macbook Pro Mid 2014

Hello, I recently bought a mid 2014 retina Macbook Pro a few months ago. I got the 2.5Ghz intel i7 16GB RAM. After buying it, I installed Windows 8.1 Pro via bootcamp. So at the moment I'm running Yosemite and Windows 8.1 (Bootcamp). The fan and overheating is not an issue when I'm using Yosemite, and the temperature hovers at around 40 celsius (50-55 celsius when playing games). However, when I switch to Windows, my average temperature is 55-60 celsius. When i play games, it gets up to 80 celsius and the fan runs at full speed. I have a program to monitor my fan speed on windows, but i hate how its so loud and i feel like I'm wrecking my laptop when its at 70 celsius because its really hot to even touch! Is there a way to run windows 8.1 bootcamp and still have it run at 40-55 celsius without the fan running at full power all the time? Please help!! Thank You!

MacBook Pro mid-2014 Intermittent issue with sound

This occurs in an intermittent fashion : I cannot adjust volume neither with the slider at the top of the screen, nor with the volume buttons of my keyboard. In fact, there is no way I can adjust the sound. I get this image (bottom) when I try to adjust the sound using the keyboard and the slider in the top menu is maxed and greyed out.
Context:
I bought this MacBook Pro last week, as a replacement for my mid-2009 MacBook Pro. I restored a Time Machine backup.
The new computer came with Yosemite and the old one had Mavericks installed last time I made a backup, therefore the new computer was downgraded to Mavericks when I did the restore. After the Time Machine restoration was completed on the new computer, I (re)installed Yosemite.
I just brought the computer to the Apple Store; the diagnosis tools were run and no hardware problems were found. As I said this is an intermittent problem, so sometimes I restart the machine and it works normally, other times the problem occurs. (1 out of 3 reboots, i'd say...)
What do you think ? Hardware problem ? Software issue due to Mavericks being restored on top of Yosemite ?
Any others have got the same issue ?
Thanks folks,
Emile

What are the default apps that come with a macbook pro Mid 2014

Hi all,
so what happened is that I forgot my password (the computer's) and I did erase all and came back on the factory reset. All is fine so far, but I am missing a lot of my apps - I sure did chat with apple and they made something so that I can get my Pages and etc back, but seems like I am missing a lot. I will show a screen shot to see the current situation. I use MacPro Mid 2014, from apple online store.

If you suspect something is missing, describe what you think it may be. The programs in your screenshot appear to be the correct ones.

Triple monitors with Macbook Pro Mid-2014

Despite having three video ports (two Mini DisplayPorts and one HDMI) I can't get three monitors (HP EliteDisplay E231, 1920 x 1080) to work with my brand new Mid 2014 MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.2GHz with the Intel Iris Pro video controller. I've seen videos on youtube of people successfully connecting three monitors to older 2013 MBPs. What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand what the issue is, the Intel Iris Pro can address over 1GB of memory, that's more than enough to drive 6.2 million pixels, and the thunderbolt 2 ports are 20 Gbit/s each!
Multi Stream Transport seems to be broken in Mac OS X. I've also looked at USB 3.0 Video Adapters, but there are no Thunderbolt to USB hubs, and it appears that Apple broke all the drivers for DisplayLink adapters. I've even tried a Matrox triplehead2go dp edition, but even that doesn't work correctly, the matrox controller software won't let me drive all three monitors at 1920x1080.
I have an HP EliteBook 9470m with an Intel HD 4000 that has no problems driving these three monitors.
Seriously, what the ****? All I want is three monitors to work.

Yes that is exactly the configuration I used, these are the cables I purchased from amazon:
StarTech.com 6 ft Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Adapter Cable M/M - DisplayPort 4k with HBR2 support
Gefen DVI to HDMI Cable 6 feet Male-Male
