Retina Macbook struggles with Screen Sharing

Have other Retina Macbook owners found a lot of trouble using various screen sharing applcations, such as Go To Meeting or Apple Remote Desktop?
A variety of 'fullscreen' or 'windowed' views do not work correctly at all, and I believe it is absolutly due to the computer's resolution. Have others found some issues similar to these?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
There are lots of MacBooks Pro with Retina display with "ghosting" and "burn-in" on the display. I suggest you to change the Mac for another one and check if it works properly. It's free and you won't lose anything

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

Need help with screen sharing/VNC

I can't seem to get screen sharing to work. I got my dad an iMac this Christmas and thought I could help him learn it with screen sharing. Not going so well. I tried experimenting with a friend's Macbook and I was able to screen share when we were within wireless range via iChat and Bonjour. But when more remote, the "share screen" icon on iChat is grayed out. My friend tried setting up an AIM account (v 4.7 I think) and we still can't screen share.
So I tried the VNC option with my dad's computer. I went to Finder >Go >Connect to server >entered vnc://Dad's IP address and got the message that it couldn't be found.
All three of the computers in this message have screen sharing turned on, firewall set to accept anyone, and have 10.5.1. We all use DSL modems (from the phone company), connected wirelessly; and I'm the only one with a dot Mac account.

2 ideas
The DSL modems that are provided by my Telephone Company (Centurytel) are all Westell and Netopia routers. The phone company calls them modems, but they are actually routers with a built-in NAT firewall. This means you have to set up port forwarding for VNC to work. The TCP ports to forward are 5500,5800,5900. VNC doesn't use UDP.
If you are both using Leopard, then the free .mac account takes care of the port forwarding problem, and also finding the other party's IP number (the .mac id continues to work for iChat even after the 60 day trial). You both login to .mac, start the chat, and then request to share screens. It's working so well for me that as soon as the 400mb 1.5.2 update becomes available I will start moving my clients over to Leopard

Problems with screen sharing

Upgraded three systems to Mountain Lion yesterday (Early 2011 MBP, Mid 2010 Mini and Mid 2011 Mini).
I rely on Screen Sharing to maintain the two Minis using the MBP. Now, while the Mid 2010 Mini can be accessed just fine, the same is not true for the Mid 2011 Mini. After a long delay, a window will pop up but is black. If I toggle between scaled and full screen a couple of times, the screen will be displayed but will accept no input. Odd.

I was able to resolve the problem with screen sharing from my MBP to my problematic Mini.
My home network uses a Belkin N600 dual band router with both the MBP and Mini using the faster N band. After switching the Mini to the slower band, screen sharing began working again. My other Mini that worked all along was hardwired to the router so was not an issue.
Oddly, with Lion, screen sharing worked having the MPB and Mini on the same N band.

I have a new Retina MacBook Pro with no IDVD.

I have a new Retina MacBook Pro with no IDVD. Can I purchase and download software to burn iMovies to a DVD or does new Mac not allow this either?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

When I close the lid on my retina MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt and it goes to sleep, I cannot wake it without shutting it down and restarting it. Called Apple tech and they did not have a solution. Any ideas?

How do I get started with screen sharing?

There are dozens of articles on the web and posts here talking about what's new with screen sharing in Lion, but for the life of me I can't find anything that tells somebody completely new to screen sharing how to get started. If I want to do screen sharing with a friend (over the Internet, not a LAN), what exactly do we have to do to get started?
Sorry for a noob question, but everything I see assumes you're already completely familiar with it and just want to see Lion tweaks.

ok so go to your system preferences on your MAC > go to sharing > click the screen sharing option on> next go to the add users section right below on the right and you add your friend whom you want to share with. You have to select a password for this person. When you get this done you will see a
Other users can access your computer's screen at:
and you will have an address there with some numbers. give this to your friend whom you want to see your screen, they have to post this in their web-browser, and that is how you remotely screen share. This is if you all are not on the same network. Also if you want to share his/her screen they will have to do these steps for you.

Mac pro cinema display cuts out and can't access Mac with screen sharing

Hi
A weird thing has started happening to my Mac Pro today. After using it for a few minutes the cinema display it is attached to on the Mac Pro just goes black. The Mac Pro is clearly still on - the light is on and i can hear the fans. The Mac Pro shows up on my local network and i can connect to it and access files from my Macbook, but screen sharing doesn't work (i just get the message 'contacting mac pro' and nothing else) and i can't connect to shared iTunes library either, which makes me think it is not just a display issue. I cannot wake the computer with the mouse or keyboard, which makes me think it isn't just a sleep issue. All i can do is physically turn the Mac Pro off, start it up and it will start up successfully and then work for a few more minutes before i get the same problem. I have reset the PRAM and SMC and still have the same problems. Can anyone suggest anything else i can try?
I should mention that i have another problem with the Mac Pro in that it has been spontaneously waking up from sleep and starting up from shutdown, and i still haven't resolved this. I don't know if it is connected to the above issue.
thanks
nick

I have experienced almost the exact same thing with my new 2008 Mac Pro and my 30" Apple display. It has happened to me twice in the last few weeks. The first time I chalked it up to a fluke, but now that it's happened again I searched the forums. In both cases I've had music playing in iTunes which continues playing, goes on to the next track, and so on. So the machine has not crashed in full. I too can connect to the files via another computer on the network, but cannot share the screen.
I have not had the sleep issues you have had.
I'll look at the link you provided in your next post to see where that gets me, but I wanted to let you know you were not alone on this one.

Retina Macbook Pro - Defective Screen (white pressure mark)

After waiting 3-4 weeks I was so excited to finally receive my retina macbook pro today. To my dissapointment as soon as I turned it on this glaring white light/cloudy mark behind the screen stabbed me in the heart. So dissapointing to wait so long just to get a defective unit.
I called AppleCare and they said I could either ship it back for a refund, or I could take it into the apple store for a refund. Apple store is only 30 minutes away so instead of putting any trust in fedex I decided to just go return it in person.
So now I'm waiting up to five days for the money to be refunded so I can order again and wait ANOTHER 3-4 weeks to receive a unit because I upgraded the base model to 16GB of ram, and it may have the same exact problem when it arrives... who even know...
I saw on macrumors a few others have had this issue so I'm not alone, but I do hate that I was unlucky this time around.
Here is what it looked like:

Anyone else this unlucky?

I've experienced this. I think they're called muras but I'm not certain. They weren't there when I bought the mid-2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro, they developed months later. First one, then two. I brought it in to the Genius Bar and they say both muras and replaced my display. The replacement display I got was horribly yellow tinted and muddy looking whereas my first display with the muras had brilliant colours and sharp text. Apple considers a consistently-yellow tinted display normal and refuses to replace it. The Spyder4Elite colour calibrator can reduce the yellowing but does nothing to help the muddy colour quality and blurriness.

Retina Macbook Pro with Mavericks freezes

So ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks I've been having a really annoying issue. Usually around once a day (or every couple of days) my computer will freeze. First usually one program freezes (like Google Chome or Microsoft Word) and then when I open up the Force Quit window other applications will start freezing (as well as the Force Quit window itself!) and after a little bit my entire computer is just frozen. I've found that the only way to fix this issue is to force my computer to restart by holding down the power button. I've tried writing to Apple about this (multiple times!) but haven't gotten a single response. If you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how I could try fixing it that would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps, I have a 2012 15-inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
Thanks in advance!

Wow this is weird...The only real thing we have in common are the freezing and the operating system. Sometimes if I leave it for 10 or 20 minutes it'll unfreeze and pretend nothing happened, but usually I have to hit the power button.
I have a brand new (Nov 2013) retina macbook pro, 13 inch, and it came with mavericks pre-installed. I don't have any Microsoft products installed. It freezes so randomly that I don't see any pattern with apps that I have open.
I figured it was just a buggy version and apple would fix it soon. But still waiting.
Have you tried a fresh reinstall? If this keeps up I might try that.
Does you keyboard freeze up? I just noticed that the back-lighting on the keyboard of my laptop doesn't go on during the freeze. I guess that means the keyboard has no power to do anything about the freeze.
I noticed in your shot of your screen, microsoft word wasn't giving you any problems...only the native apple apps.
Here's one of my freezes. What a beauty eh?
EDIT*** I tried pasting an image but didn't show up after posting this reply...oh well, It was similar to your one.

Should I get a £999 13 Inch Macbook Air with 128 GB SSD or a £1249 13 Inch Retina Macbook Pro with 128GB SSD

I am a twelve year old boy ready to get my first Mac computer. I already have an iPad 3 and I really like it. Now I'm going to start saving up for a Mac and I am down to two choices, as listed above. I'm going to be using it for web browsing, games, drawing, word documents, presentations, movies, video calling, messages, Windows 8 and I will be using quite a few apps from the Mac App Store.
Also could you tell me how long Apple support the MacBook Air with the latest version of OS X and how long they support the MacBook Pro with the latest OS.
I also want to know if it is worth paying £200 to upgrade a 128GB SSD to a 256GB one.

If past history serves, Apple will support the 2013 models for 5-7 years with new OS upgrades but there's no guarantee. However that doesn't mean the computer will be worthless. I have a 10-11 year old Mac serving as a guest computer running an OS two versions old. It still does everything our guests would want to do while they are visiting.
The 128GB drive is the smallest I'd recommend and for a teen (who is likely to collect media and lots of software) I'd call the 256GB a very good idea - especially ince you indicate you want to run Win8 too.
The retina MacBook has a gorgeous display and has a faster processor but all those extra pixels push the GPU to the max. Until faster GPUs come along I'm avoiding the retina computers.

PP CS6 on Retina Macbook conflicts with YouTube/Pandora

I bought my Retina Macbook recently, and the first thing I did was to install Premiere Pro CS6 on it. I did the hack - inserted GeForce GT 650M to the list - and enabled the Mercury Playback Engine.
Ever since then, I've been having all sorts of problems, but the most annoying problem is that in the midst of editing, somehow Program Monitor would either freeze or black-out.
I seriously tried every possible ways I could do to resolve this as an average user. I tried resetting the preferences, switching the drives, turning the machine on & off, and all the magic joojoos. None of them worked, until I found out the problem starts to happen as I open other applications along with the Premiere Pro opened.
I began to wonder, does the graphic card or Premiere Pro CS6 conflict with any programs I have opened? So I tested it out.
I found out that while having CS6 and Safari (or any kinds of web-browsing programs) on, the "crashes" occur very often. I also found out it typically happens when I turn on Pandora and YouTube.
The moment I shut off the Pandora tab, YouTube tab, or even websites with any kinds of visual or audio media turned on, the freezing or black-out situation on the Program Monitor immediately stops. If turning off the tabs doesn't work, then quitting the program entirely solves the problem.
From what I've tested, it's for sure to say Flash or Video Playback on webpages conflicts with GT650M card. It's certainly not the software problem, because when Software Only mode is turned on, all the images come back on the Project Monitor. I mean, what kind of weird conflict is this?
Can anyone else with a Retina MacBook confirm this?
In case if Anyone is wondering, this is the setup I've used.
Retina Display Macbook Pro
16GB Ram option
256GB SSD option
NVidia GT650M 1GB VRAM
Video files in the SSD

It's absolutely woeful.
Like traveling back in time with modern software and putting it on last generation hardware... or two generations previous hardware.
What floors me the most is that there's not any spikes or even utilisation of the CPU and GPU going on... I have CPU and GPU monitoriing software for the more beserk applications I use. I checked them out when using Illustrator and Indesign. The CPU and GPU is hardly getting tickled... so it's JUST poor software engineering at work. VERY POOR software engineering.
There's at least 90% of the CPU and GPU power completely unused during moving operations and object creation. So it COULD be fast, and performant, if they cared to actually use the CPU and/or GPU more effectively/thoroughly when we want to DO something inside the software.
I don't even know how you'd code something this woefully under performant. You'd have to plan to do it, or be using MONO or some other uselessly single threaded, low priority frame work...
Maybe these apps are programmed in Java

Trouble with screen sharing since upgrading to Mavericks

I'm no longer able to connect to my Mac at home from my Mac at work unless someone is there to wake it up. It shows up in the shared listing on the left side of my Finder window so I know it sees it. I get a "Connection Failed" warning.
I have made sure that Screen Sharing is selected and that I have selected "Wake for network access" on the Energy Saver system preferences. Computer sleep is set to "never". I have also set it to start or wake at 8am every day to ensure that it is running each day by the time I get to work. Both Macs are running Mavericks.
I didn't have this problem with 10.8 and nothing else has changed that I know of. If someone is home and I call them and tell them to wake up my Mac it works fine, for a while. For a couple of hours I can connect to it but then it disconnects in the middle of using it and I can't connect to it again.
And regular ol' "Connect As" no longer works either ... unless someone is at home to wake it up. I get a "probelm connecting to the server" warning
Thoughts or suggestions?

Use FaceTime to record a video with screen sharing?

I need to record a presentation, going back and forth between me talking and demonstrating my company's new iPhone app. The app runs in the Xcode iOS simulator on my MacBook, and my MacBook has a FaceTime camera (720p!). Is there a way to use FaceTime to record a video? Skype has screen sharing. You can just click a button and the caller sees what's on your computer screen. Then you click again to return to the caller seeing you talking. Does FaceTime have a screen sharing feature? Is there another app I should be using?

I just did a little Googling and found eCamm:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
It looks like it'll record a Skype call, and Skype has screen sharing. I'll download the demo version and try it out.

How does ARD compare with Screen Sharing

I make a lot of use of Screen Sharing for managing multiple computers across the internet. However, with the drastically reduced price of ARD on the App Store I am tempted to replace my Screen sharing usage. However, if all I need is screen sharing do I gain anything ?

Only the ability to show multiple computers at once
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/remoteassistance.html
and perhaps Curtain Mode (that may be in the normal screen sharing; I can't recall). Other than that, ignoring all the other features and functions of ARD, then unless there's something I'm not thinking of, the screen sharing capabilities are the same.
Regards.
