Scratch removal tips for MBP Retina Display

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to remove scratches from the surface of the palm rest on the MBP with Retina Display? One is quite superfical however the other is deep!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If it is new, take it back to where you purchased it and seek an exchange for a product with a working display. If you bought it from Apple there is a 14 day return period. Other retailers may have different policies.
If you want that machine repaired it will take time. If you can't do without the machine, an exchange is your best option.
Should you decide on a repair, contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook Pro in to an Apple retail store or service provider.
Best of luck.

Optical Drive for MBP Retina Display

I am trying to find an external optical drive for my new MBP with Retina Display late-2013. I would prefer a Blu-Ray dual-layer slim burner due to its acceptance of large storage media (for backup purposes). I am using Toast 10 Pro as a burning software. It would be a bonus if I could also play DVDs or Blu-rays from it (using XBMC or VLC media players). What would you recommend? Thank you.

How can I remove fine scratches off the I Pad Retina Display ?

Dear Community,
I would appreciate to receive your experiences and tipps how to remove fine scratches off the I pad retina display without harming its surface ! Thx

Apple Stores sell a good screen cleaner which I would recommend for cleaning screens - it works well and doesn't do any damage. This might clean away a lot of what you see as fine scratches.
Other than this, I would stay away from anything else as you may well do a lot more harm than good.

I have a MBP retina display, early 2013, 512GB SSD storage& I want to upgrade it into a 768GB SSD storage, would that be possible WITHOUT replacing my current storage disks with the new 768GB ?keeping the 512GB&only adding a 256 GB disk?! please advise (:

The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase

MBP Retina display setting to make Photoshop less pixelated?

I just purchased a MBP Retina and I've noticed (as many have, I've gathered) that Adobe CS6 programs appear pixelated on the new retina display. I realize that not all apps are upgraded for the retina display, but I was wondering if there is a display setting I can use for this to be resolved for the time being? Much appreciated, thanks!

Well, OK, if it is completely dimmed, not just stuck on a low level, try pressing fn-f2 (function & F2). If the box in preferences is checked, then adding "fn" may help. Worth a try if it works.

Audio issues with some full screen applications (game) and teamspeak with a 15" MBP retina display

While trying to play League of Legends in the lobby and loading screens i can hear everything but when i go in game i cant hear anything, and with teamspeak my teamspeak cant detect the input or output devices and i can hear everything else like skype and everything
Already reinstaled flash restored the system and took it to the apple store, this happened like for 2 days with youtube and they solved that but not the problem with the game or teamspeak

Apple doesn't offer the option of full resolution (2880x1800) and says everything other than 1440 x 900 won't look as good as 1440x900.
so while you can set the monitor to 17" resolution (1920x1080) it has to simulate it on a 2880x900 screen and has to blur and reinterpolate elements to make it work
they've really messed it up for anyone wanting true HD resolution for professional reasons.
Indeed. Everything except 2880x1800, which is unavailable without SwitchResX, and 1440x900, which comfortably fits one pixel of the image into a four pixel square of the Retina Display, must be simulated or scaled. However, while the scaling is real, the 17" "simulation" looks as good, to my eye at least, as my wife's MBP 17". Going smaller will test one's eyes probably as much as Apple's scaling algorithms so the tradeoff for greater screen real-estate may turn out not to be as bad as we'd think. All I need is a MBP Retina Display and SwitchResX to find out...

Screen real-estate on the 15" MBP Retina display

The 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display has a remarkable 2880x1800 pixel resolution, compared to the 27" LED display's 2560x1440. Normally, screen real-estate is defined as how much stuff (windows, menu bar items, bookmark lists, etc) you can fit on the screen, with a larger (that is, more pixels) screen being able to show more stuff using its native resolution.
With the MBP's Retina display, the pixels are so small that using its native resolution in the same way as with the 27" monitor should result in, say, really small menu bar items, etc. As a result, the default monitor setting involves scaling, so that something which might normally take up one pixel might get four or eight devoted to it, making it larger and easier to see. Its monitor control panel allows changing that relationship so that everything could be made to appear even larger, resulting in less screen real-estate, or smaller, resulting in more screen real-estate; i.e., lots more stuff can fit on the screen.
My question is whether, at the smallest setting offered, the screen real-estate is the equivalent of, say, a 32" monitor which also has 2880x1800 pixel resolution but is spread over a much smaller physical area, or is the Retina's display still scaled to some smaller equivalent resolution because straight 1 to 1 would simply be too small to be practical? If that's the case, what does the effective resolution work out to be at the smallest setting?
I'm aware that's not a simple question because, for example, I understand that an HD Movie could be displayed pixel for pixel even if everything else outside that window is scaled. Moreover, the use of vector graphics complicates the matter further. But for things like menu lists and word processing documents, can the MBP's Retina display be set to what we understand to be 1 to 1?

Problem with MBP Retina Display battery

So, I'm on my second MBP Retina Display. The first one had a dead pixel. However, other than the dead pixel I was pleased with the laptops condition.
I got it replaced. The new model seems to be having issues with burned in windows on the display. Also, the battery life seems to go down much quicker than
the one I had originaly.
I took my laptop into the genius bar and was told the battery was completely fine but because I used migration assistant something was draining the battery life.
A month has gone by since I cleaned out my laptop and didn't use migration assistant. The battery had been lasting longer than before. But now it's draining rather rapidly again. I don't know why.
Also, I hadn't noticed the burn in's until now.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to fix these issues? Or if I should take my laptop in again?
Thanks for the help!

0. Forget coconutBattery.
1. Doesn't seem like a lot.
2. Recommended? No. Can it hurt? No, as long as you stick to 3.
3. It is better to discharge, at least a few times per month, to about 40%.

Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains

Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains, getting worse.
I am always very carefully with my mac, still the display always looks smudged. Even when I just close the lid, for transport, I have like the keyboard printed on my display when I open it again. Now I discovered more and more light spots which can't be wiped of at all.
There is obviously a problem with these retina displays.
I am very disappointed I have to say. I'm out of warranty but I can't believe that I pay € 2.600,- and get a display like that!
Please Apple, do something…

While booting the apple logo is purple and the the grey screen turn yellow for a second.

MBP retina display wallpaper problem

I just bought the MBP retina display and somehow the OS doesn't save my wallpaper. It will go to the default Mac wallpaper whenever i restart my computer. Is there a way to solve this?

Alright no worries, I felt it was worth while looking at, although the unit is 4 days old in your hands, the software was likely installed longer than that, at the distribution centre.
The next step we would likely do, is remove the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the desktop itself, this will encourage the operating system when restarted (or logged out) to regenerate a new file in its place.
Although this is such an evasive step, and should cause no problems, since it is a user specific file, I do feel the need to tell you to backup any data first, and make sure you have everything covered before proceeding.
I would expect nothing to go wrong in this process, honestly , but whenever a solution comes down to replacing files the operating system has in place, its worth covering. If you are satisfied you have everything backed up, and wish to proceed, the next steps are as follows:
1) Open up a finder window, you can do this by clicking the square face symbol on your dock (half dark blue, half light blue). You should have a finder menu bar running across the top of your screen, and 'Go' should be listed.
2) Select 'Go' and this will drop down a list of places your system can go to. Hold down the Option (alt) key on your keyboard and this will show the hidden 'library' in your drop down list. Select library.
3) The finder window will now show the contents of your user library. Find a folder called preferences in that folder and go into it.
4) You will now see many com.apple.xxxx.plist files. Find a file or files beginning in com.apple.desktop (com.apple.desktop.plist is the common one, but sometimes there is com.apple.desktop lockfiles also) and drag them to the desktop itself, make sure the files are actually moved to the desktop and not just copied.
5) Once the files are moved to the desktop, and no longer exist in your preferences folder, restart the computer, and try again. The computer at this point would have generated replacement files.

Having problems with my new usb superdrive in my MBP retina display.

I just bought an apple usb superdrive for my new MBP retina display. I connected the usb superdrive to the MBP and I was going to install a program but doesn't appear in the desktop or neither in finder. The disk is still inside the usb superdrive! The MBP doesn't recognize the usb superdrive. What do I do now? The disk is still inside!

With the system turned on Disconnect the superdrive and then reconnect it. If that fails try the other USB port, the one on the other side.
If That Fails take the system and the superdrive to the Apple store you bought them from and have them fix whatever is wrong with either the drive or the system or both.

Better support for iPhone Retina display apps

The iPad display is higher resolution than the iPhone 4. It would be nice if when I use an iPhone app on my iPad that is built for a retina display if it was not downscaled to a non-retina resolution. This would make the apps built for the retina display way more usable on the iPad.
Seems like an easy change. I'm actually surprised it was not included as part of iOS 4.2.1.

Again, that's not how it works. Apple didn't really have to do anything for the iPhone 4 because they're the same screen size. All they did was double every pixel for the iPhone 4 which is what you see when you use 2x mode on the iPad. If the iPhone had a 10" screen, even with the retina display it would look just as blocky as the iPad because of the screen size.
Did you not notice the resolution for iPhone 4 is exactly 2x that of the old iPhones? 640x960 vs 320x480. They didn't do anything special with the iPhone 4 to make the old apps look good, the screen size being the same is what made the difference.
this is all in reference to the iPhone 4 displaying apps not optimised for the retina display.

PSE 11 & MBP RETINA DISPLAY ?

Is PSE 11 fully compatible with 15" Mac Book Pro Retina Display ? if not, Do you know of any updates releases? How about PSE 12 ?

PSE11 already works perfectly on the MBPr but is not optimized for the retina display in the same way as Lightroom or CS6 are. PSE12 should be available soon, if Adobe follows its regular release schedule so you may wish to wait and see if HiDPI support is included.

How can I use my MBP's(late 2008) display as a secondary screen for MCP retina display?

I've got my new MBP retina dispaly and I would like to use my old MBP as a secondary display.
Is there any way to do this without installing different types of software like ScreenRecycler?
I tried to connect the only cable I have which is an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable but nothing really happened!

Thanks It actually works when you want to share the screen.
However I'm looking for using the old MBP's screen as a secondary display so that I can have two screens like an external monitor.
Also when you use the share screen it has some delay because of the wireless network.
