Sleeve for MBP Retina 15"

I am looking for a sleeve/bag that will protect my Retina MacBook Pro inside my backpack. All the sleeves I've found have ok padding but not enough when being placed between books in a full backpack. Does anyone know of any cases that will provide a generous amount of padding without being too big?

sig,
Never even heard of those - saw your first post and ordered one. Thanks for the link - looks as if they have some really nice stuff (all I have now is a 'standard' neoprene sleeve - the video sold me!).
Got it bookmarked now in 'case' some folks ask again.
Thanks,
Clinton

Where to buy parts for MBP Retina

So I was wondering if it was possible to buy the individual keys for a MBP retina 15". I spilled literally a drop of orange juice on the - key and I thought I had soaked up most of it, but about two days later that key got extremely sticky to use so I popped it off per some instructions I found. Well, in the process I broke off this TINY little piece of plastic that the key attaches to in one corner and now that key just kinda stays there but it's really loose. I can see the TINY little part that is broken on the key itself, so does anyone know if these parts are available online anywhere?

Call for an appointment and ask if you can wait.

Why has the price of apple care for MBP retina increased?

A couple of weeks ago I'm so sure it was quoted as approx $250, now it is $429! I'm looking at the 2.3 gHz model and using the Australian website both times... My main concern is has the price increased because there are alot of problems with the MBP retina?

250 is for Air & 13" models
350 for 15-17" and Retina
Just where are you seeing 429. Post a link.

Need IR Receiver for MBP Retina

MBP Retinas no longer come with an IR receiver. Does anyone know of a stable usb IR receiver that works with MBP & Apple remotes? I cannot use iPhone since the majority of my presentations are in areas without WiFi.

Well. I have seen solutions for this type of thing in more high end entertainment systems. I am not sure what they are called but I am sure if you checked with a big box place like best buy or went to a home theatre installer, they could tell you exactly what they are called. Basically, there is a central IR input that is exposed and you place it wherever you want (maybe on the clip holding the laptop) and then a cord runs to the IR input on the device. (Usually, these are stuck to the actual device. However, you might be able to stick it to the stand where your IR input is so when you place your computer on the stand it makes contact. You wouldn't need a long cord or anything.
It may be a little more complicated than the other suggestions, but after some clever hiding of cords and stuff, it may work for you. Do a Google search for IR repeater system. It may provide you with a little more info.
I know exactly what you are talking about and have thought of doing that.
I do have a similar setup that uses two "pyramids" that converts the IR to RF and then back it IR. I problem is, the sensor is still covered! Thats why I need an EXTERNAL senor and not just a repeater.

Sleeve for mbp in montreal????

I was wondering if anyone was able of buying a sleeve for their mbp's in the montreal area. My computer store sells sleeves for powerbooks, but the are keen on the fact that it doesnt fit a mbp. I have tried several stores on st catherine, futurshop, and not being lucky. any hint would be appreciated....

The sleeves for powerbooks are 1 inch shorter but depending on the make and material, some do fit.. Just take your MBP along and ask to try it yourself.. They can't refuse that.

External monitor for MBP retina 13 inch

hi,
i am an undergrad student and i bought mbp retina 13 inch in dec'13.
now i want to use an external monitor for my work which is mostly coding and stuff .i dont know much about display monitors and their ports or pins : vga ,dvi or displayport.
please help me with suggestions as which one is better monitor to have and some info about the ports or pins is also needed ( as i already have apple's mini displayport to vga adapter ,which i bought to connect my mac to projector although its done rarely )
i do have a budget for this , its about $ 150 to 200 .
thanks.

Here's - http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VA2446M-LED-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Speakers/dp/B00D601U C8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393758755&sr=8-1&keywords=24+inch+lcd+computer+monito r - a 24" ViewSonic monitor with DVI input (much better than VGA). It's within your budget and you could still afford a good adapter for it (such as this one from Monoprice).
Good luck,

Dual Monitor HDMI Dock for MBP Retina?

Hello,
Just purchased a MBP 15 Retina for home and work. At my office I have 2 HDMI Monitors that I would like to continue to use. I know I can do this through the ports on the MBP, My question however is: Does anyone know of a docking station that supports 2 HDMI monitors?

From the technical reference guide:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.BINARYPORTLET/public/kb/docDisplay/resource.proc...
you can use both ports, you have to test if a dvi-d to hdmi connection will work.
Sometimes a dvi-d source can't support hdmi -if you have already one monitor, just test it.

Backpack w/sleeve for MBP?

I'm looking for a good backpack/daypack for my MacBook Pro - as I own so many Osprey packs, I looked there first and found the "Focus" - http://www.ospreypacks.com/focus_flux.htm - says it will fit laptops with screens up to 15.4"...
...any thoughts? Anyone know of other products? I've a Brenthaven shoulder case that I bought from Apple when I bought my 12" PB but, of course, the sleeve is much too small for the MBP (and I'd rather have backpack this time aound). I also found a very nice looking backpack at the Brenthaven website - http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-apple-pro-15-17.html - that looks nice but it's $80 more than the Osprey (although looking at the spec sheet it may be worth the $80 difference).
Any thoughts, experiences or suggestions would be appreciated!
20" 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac 2Gb RAM 250Gb, MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2 Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) Proud MBP owner since 10 Mar 2006!

Thanks to all who responded...
...as I definitely want a backpack style case, I've narrowed it down to two...
http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=457
or
http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-apple-pro-15-17.html
The strange thing, for e, is that I'm much more accustomed to shopping for backpacks made for backpacking and these 'boutique'-style laptop backpacks don't use the same terminology or specifications used by backpack manufacturers, so it's tough for me to picture exactly what the interior is going to look like. The other odd thing is that some of these bags weigh more than some of my larger week-long backpacks! All the padding, I suppose. AND, of course, the cost is higher than even the 'high end' daypacks from backpack manufacturers that offer (at most it seems) a simple sleeve to accommodate a laptop.
My Brenthaven shoulder bag, however, has withstood a good deal of abuse without ever allowing damage to come to my 12" PB after 2 1/2 years... but I just like the design of the Booqbag better, I think, than the Brenthaven backpack. (And in reading Marc's review - I'm definitely leaning toward the Booqbag!)
If those of you who offered input wouldn't mind taking a look at these two bags and offering your opinion, I would appreciate it. Although more expensive, I;m leaning towards the Booqbag - doesn't make sense to become a cheapskate when trying to protect almost $4,000 of gear!
Thanks to all - I had no idea that some of these companies existed - and I'm looking forward to hearing opinions: I'll need to order Wednesday to get second day delivery by Friday, I suppose!

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.

What Apple Care for MBP Retina 15" Mid 2012 ?

Sorry for this dumb posting, but there are existing two different apple cares when i search for it:
Item Numbers: MD013D/A or MF218D/A.
Maybe someone could help me and say what worked for him. I have an MBP 15" Mid 2012 with Retina (short back after a repair - got 8 dead pixels...).
Thanks for your help!

You are referencing German versions? I am not familiar with those part numbers. In the US, the current appropriate Applecare part number is MD012LL/A for your machine; however, I have seen (and purchased) the older version of Applecare for a Mac if it was offered at a lower price. Whenever a new Mac is introduced, the Applecare product numbers are updated, but there may be third party sellers which still have the older product in stock. In any case, as long as your part numbers are both for the appropriate machine and say "Applecare for 15" MBP, etc", it should be fine.
Having said all that, the question comes up: if your machine was purchased in 2012, your one year warranty has expired and you can only purchase and register Applecare during the original warranty period.

Bought USB 3.0 32GB Thumb Drive For MBP Retina - Format?

I bought a PNY 32gb Flash Drive, USB 3.0. Wow, so much faster than my other 2.0 thumbs.
Like my other thumb drives it pops right in, the MBP immediately recognizes it, and your transferring files no problem, even very large 10 gig plus folders. And there is no problem transferring files with co-workers who have PC's by other manufacturers.
The PNY drive is formatted MS-DOS (FAT). One lone problem I have is that when I drag over my Microsoft User Data folder, I get a message that the 10.2 GB Folder with 515,000 items, "can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format." How do I resolve this as this folder contains my 10,000 plus e-mails in Entourage?
Can I solve this by reformatting my flash thumb drive to "Mac OS Extended Journaled" within the disc utility in Lion; and if so, will I still be able to swap files with this drive with my co-workers using Dell and Toshiba computers?
THANKS!

I'm backing up emmarty on this one. It works.
I'm working with a Lexar 32Gb USB stick right now - one of many brands, sizes and formats. Initially I forgot that FAT was difference than ExFat formatting; I just fell into the "Uh, Windows is FAT; let's use that"-history. Didn't work, wanted to be formatted by Windows 7 (which didn't know what to do with a 32Gb device - suggested 200Mb).
Looking at it from a UX perspective, the odds are the UI isn't different enough for the user to note they're formatting it wrong. I'm calling user-error on this one.
Just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's right. Ask Pierre Salinger.
