The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and has a brightness flicker every few seconds since june 2013 upgrade of airport utility.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after  this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

  • A bug is stuck, and dead, in the screen of my MacBook Pro.

    A bug crawled up under the screen of my MacBook Pro and has died there. Is there any way I can get it out? Or should I just keep looking around it?A

    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • How do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

    how do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

    To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
    Important: The bottom case of the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010) uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case.

  • Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

    Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
    E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
    Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
    If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

    Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
    I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

  • I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

    I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

    If all else fails, try this.  i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
    if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
    insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
    However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

  • I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

    I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

    Hi austinbread,
    It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

  • My Macbook Pro Retina display heats up and makes a certain sea wave like noise. what could the issue be?

    My Macbook Pro Retina display heats up and makes a certain sea wave like noise. what could the issue be?

    You should have a backup in the first place. If you don't, buy an external drive (they're inexpensive these days) and make a Time Machine or a clone backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner).
    Then take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them diagnose the computer. See if they can isolate what may possibly be making the 'clicking' sound.

    Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.

    Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
    Also try a SMC reset:

  • How do I get rid of a frequently occurring blue screen on my MacBook Pro Retina?

    Even as I type this question, a blue screen is frequently popping up for a good 5-10 seconds. It happens when I start up this computer, when I adjust the screen in order to get a view, or when I move the computer. Nothing appears to be disrupted other than the screen itself, for I can type even when the blue screen is flashing. My computer is a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, and I've had is since September. Other than this, I've encountered no problems. Any help would be apprecitated, and I hope I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem.

    Hello,
    It may be partially related to the discussion, but it appears that my imac (2013, intel, OS X 10.8.5) has misbehaved in a very similar manner. Here is a brief account in case it could help in some way:
    - perfect performance until today, when I tried to connect and external vga monitor;
    - imac does not detect the monitor, connected via a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter;
    - monitor works flawlessly, when connected to a dell laptop as an external display;
    - imac conects perfectly via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to the d-sub port of a smart tv;
    When the monitor is connected to the imac occasionally imac displays blank blue screen intermittently at random instants lasting about a second or so, once a few seconds. When the monitor is turned off the problem disappears.
    I am unable to find out why the imac would not detect the external display and the intermittent blue screen when the external monitor is on is even more baffling.
