Some text displays incorrectly (in bright colours) or not at all on Macbook Pro Retina

The text in the image is actually white and say "learn more" but for some reason, it displays like this, and even worse exports like this.
If I select the text, it looks like it should, but as soon as I deselect it, it reverts to the above corruption. (it varies in how corrupted it looks, sometimes it's the whole word, sometimes it's bright green etc) - I've switched off the graphics card in "performance" but it doesn't help.

Hate to tell you this but that corrosion is caused by body chemistry and more then likely Apple will do nothing for you.
Your body chemistry is of a pH that reacts with aluminum and is causing the corrosion. The only thing you can do is put a plastic film product on the palm rests to minimize any further damage.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.

I've contacted them just now, they clarified the situation.
On their side as well as what AASP will be able to see on the case is corrosion on palmrest exactly as i filed in the complain.
it only appears differently on My Support Profile.

Flex not scaling properly on Macbook Pro Retina Display

Hello all!
I'm currently writing an app in Flex on Flash Builder on a late Macbook Pro 15 Retina display. In my WindowedApplication, I've set the tags width and height to be 1920 and 1080 respectively. For some reason, when running debug, the application window opens up bigger than my screen. This doesn't make sense to me because my screen resolution is 2880 x 1800. Some further tests showed that what's appearing on screen is actually twice the resolution of what it should be. Can someone please help me with this scaling issue? I'm assuming everything will look right when I run the app on a normal screen however debug is now a pain in the butt due to the scaling. Below is my main WindowedApplication and its tags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    width="1920"

    maxHeight="1080"
    maxWidth="1920"

Neither Photoshop Elements nor Premiere Elements support the retina display capabilities. There are a couple of feature requests for support to be added to Photoshop Elements but I don't find any for Premiere elements. You might care to open one at http://feedback.photoshop.com.
Here are the PSE one I found:

JDK-8000629 : [macosx] Blurry rendering with Java 7 on Retina display
I've found mention of this bug in a bug report for the Netbeans IDE and from the information present over there it seems that the blurred text issue should be solved with the latest version of JDK7 (later than 7u40 build b28). Could you please try updating the JDK and see if the issue is solved?
I am really curious to know if the issue is fixed.
Updating the JDK fixed the fuzzy rendering Unfortunately it's introduced a new problem where the UI font (not the code editor font) is too big.

MacBook Pro Retina 15" : LG display issues. Some help??

I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 "mounting an LG Display. Currently it seems to work perfectly and shows no lack of ghosting of the image. But if from there to a year I'll have problems will Apple recognize them and would provide the repair warranty?
I mean, does Apple recognize the ghosting problem with LG displays?
Thank you for helping me!

No they do not. In fact just the opposite. Some with LG displays and ghosting have been told by Apple it is normal and all screens do it. When in fact they do not.
Buy Applecare extended warranty. Otherwise when your 1 year standard warranty runs out and you have any problems with that retina you might as well throw it away. The cost to fix that unit, should a problem of any type become apparent, will be close to buying a new unit. All the parts are either soldered to the logic, Mother, board or glued into the aluminum case parts. The few parts that aren't are the logic board itself, the WiFi/Bluetooth daughter card, the fans & heatsink system and the proprietary SSD that plugs into a socket on the logic board.
The screen is glued into the case lid and can not be changed without replacing the complete lid along with the WiFi/BT antennas, the web cam and of course the aluminum shell.

I bought a macbook pro retina ME665 in Dubai, and 3 month later its display stopped working properly.some white lines appeared on it and display itself became white and black. Can anybody suggest what should I do to fix this problem?

In October 2013 I was on Vacationin Dubai and bought there Macbook pro retina ME665. I returned to Kyrgystan (home town) and for New Year I was away for a week. When I came back i found that the dispaly of my laptop became white and black, some lines appeared on it. Everybody in my family told me that no one has dropped my laptop or done anything that can cause this problem. there is no any service provider of apple in my country. WIl, the international warranty cover this case? I bought this laptop not from apple store,but in a simple store and I lost reciept.

Put the Serial Number in here...
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
to see if it is registered with Apple..

Macbook Pro Retina crashes with thunderbolt display

Whenver I plug the thunderbolt display into my macbook pro retina both displays black out and the computer becomes semi-unrespsonsive (ie I can hear the volume controls however that is all. I need to force shutdown.
I've noticed this problem happening since I installed xQuark (X11) a week ago, I have since removed it and any traces of it but the problem seems to have become worse.

Hi there ericdi,
It looks like you are experiencing persistent kernel panics. You may find the troubleshooting steps toward the bottom of the article below helpful. Please keep in mind, diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you would like to avoid this process, or do not know how to perform any of the following steps, consider bringing the Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

Pixelated MacBook Pro Retina Display!

I just purchased a MacBook pro retina display 15" 2.3ghz 2 weeks ago and i thought everything was going to be as clear as ever, but it turns out that more stuff are pixelated than before!!!! For example icons and text on websites, download managers and even the programes i work on such as (Adobe photshop, illustrator, indesign) you can see the tool's pixels.! Is this the way it should be or is there something wrong going on?!

Hello Donald,
Macbook Pro, retina display, 15".
2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6MB shared L3 cache.
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory.
256GB storage.
Intel Iris Pro Graphics.
OS X MAVERICK.
$1999 / 2.049eur.
Adobe Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5. Never gave me problems... Pixelated.
Probably the cloud edition CS6 is performed to retina display? Well, I cannot afford the cloud edition now...
Adobe Acrobat Pro think it's 10. Pixelated.
Portrait Professional 11. Pixelated.
Lightroom 5 is ok with retina display.
And some other programs I'll might use, but not now, for 3D editing and video. I'm afraid of not getting the HiDPI quality in several programs, while I can't wait 6 months or 1 year to developers "work on it"... My job is now, no later...
Thank you

Macbook pro retina display white spot(LCD Mura)

i have a macbook pro retina mid 2012 and i was traveling for 9 months and i had this problem for a while that my screen has a 2 bright white spots on the lower left quadrant of the screen it is an LG display and i researched online and people seem to be calling it an LCD mura. My macbook is out of warranty but i was wondering whether apple will replace the screen or not since it is a very common problem

Hello!
I bought mine in July 2012 and hadn't noticed any white spots until around December. I though maybe it was some problem with Firefox since I could only see it when surfing on internet but then one day I changed the background and realized that it was visible, as you say, on a light background. There I didn't see it on Lr od Ps.
I called yesterday to Apple (they don't have shops here in Oslo where I am located now) and tehy told me to go to the Authorized Service Provider.
I went this morning and they will change the screen for free as it is less than 1-year old. But recommended me to pay for the Apple Care... mmmhh...
I asked if he had seen these spots on more rMBP and he confirmed it. He had seen more although he couldn't tell me if it was a weakness of the Retina-screens..
Would be nice to know..
Do I have to start saving for the new replacement-screens to come?!
...until further notice I'll be 2 weeks without my beloved rMBP and my Adobe friends...

Bright(dead pixels) replacement policy macbook pro retina

Yes i have had it tested and it is a confirmed hardware related pixel problem. I have 4 bright green pixels on my macbook pro retina 15 inch which is very annoying when you are working in (the dead pixels are in the middle of the screen!)processing applications like the kinect/photoshop. And this meets apples policy critera and according to it i should receive a product replacemnet not a simple screen replacement( the product is the macbook pro not the screen) and the apple stores in india say that they do not follow this policy, no where on the internet or anywhere have i heard this. Apple is renowned for its worldwide support, but it from one place and have similar support everywhere. I bought the laptop(the highest end with 16 gb ram for my projects, 2.7) whoch costed me about 4000 US dollars now when you pay that much you cannot live with people opening your laptop and replacing some parts in it(remember the unibody part?). And i am also experienceing burn in issues for a long time( due to the inferior screen that i was provided with- yes the LG display). I am really annoyed and will take the laptop to honk kong where i bought it from and will not settle without a product replacemnet per se apples policy. Again india seriously??

New problem with display on Macbook Pro retina (Samsung panel)

Hello All,
I am a very new people on your forum but a few weeks ago i bought a new macbook pro retina with samsung panel.
I haven't ghosting effect on my macbook but i have a new and really bad problem.
I try to found a some information on Russians forums but nobody can help me with it.
I can see an artifacts in the form of flashing pixels on all display.
It occurs in 20-30 minutes after the start of work.
Today i try to test it on game Dirt 2 and i can see defects after 2 minutes after start. So i think it can be reason with Geforce 650 but when i back to desktop and use HD 4000 i still see a problem.
This is best seen on a black screen with high backlight.
When i try to connect TV via HDMI i can't see any problem in my TV.
So i really don't know what could be the reason.
I attached the video with issue to video hosting
http://vimple.ru/579f880e8b7045e09f8fc5bc097c5e2b
Also i have a many software problem like Crashing safari and iTunes. It can be a few times per day.
I really disappointed with my new Macbook.
I haven't any problem with old 2009 Macbook pro with Snow Leopard but Mountain Lion is not working well.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards

How do I downgrade my MacBook Pro Retina Display from Mountain Lion to Lion?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina Display that came with OS X 10.8.1.
I´m an audio engineer so I work with Pro Tools, tons of plug-ins etc... Some of my software doesn't work with Mountain Lion just yet. Some of them haven't upgraded, and some of them I need to purchase a latest version, which is not cheap at all in the audio world. So I'd like to hang on to Lion for a while until I decide to upgrade everything to Mountain Lion.
I've seen other posts about this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148927?start=0&tstart=0
This one in particular managed to make the downgrade. However, he used to have OS X 10.7.4 in his retina display when he bought it. Which is something that doesn't happen in my case.
If you read the other post you can see that several methods have been tried.
Is it really safe to completely erase my hard drive and to a clean install of Lion? Will it work perfectly fine on my Retina Display?
I went to one Apple Store, and the guy asked around and told me they haven't done it before, so since they didn't know whether it was going to work they couldn't do it. He told me to do it myself and if something happened to my laptop, "just bring it in and we'll reinstall the stock OS X again."
Since the laptop is brand new I don't mind erasing everything, all my stuff is already backed up.
So help me please?

The short of it is if it came with 10.8.1 you can't install an OS less than that.

Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
What should I do?
Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
But there is a major difference!
-They have a black screen after they login.
-My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
Until now, nothing!
Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.
