Trouble with screen resolution when using Parallels and ACT on Macbook Pro (late 2013)

Hello, I have installed my Sage ACT 2013 software on my Macbook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) computer that has 16GB of RAM and an i7 core processor using Parallels 9 desktop and Windows 7- 64bit.  The problem is that the screen resolution is very small and condensed to the left side making reading the title boxes and content very difficult.  I reached out to Parallels who was unable to resolve the screen resolution by either  adjusting the display settings or the Windows 7 video settings. Right now they have the Resolution listed as "Scaled" as the "Best for Retina" & "More Space" options did not help the issue.  What is even more strange is that I have Office 2013 installed on the Parallels side so that it can interface with ACT and those screen resolutions read just fine.  Are there any ACT/MAC users out there that might have any insight for me? Thx!

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,

  • How to clean install os x on macbook pro late 2013 using usb (offline) (without recovery direct download)

    hi,
         Im trying to clean install OS X from last month using inbuild recovery partition method. Due to slow internet connection Im unable to complete the installation. I tried many times using this intallation process but it failled to complete the installation. My internet connection is steady but due to "time out" the whole installation process is skiping. So Im not able to use my brand new macbook pro late 2013 from last month beginning. Please provide an alternative solution to install os x.

    For several years now, Apple has acted as if everyone on the planet has high speed Internet access. That is obviously not the case for many people, and for them installing or reinstalling any OS X version since Lion has been a problem.
    I can only suggest that you take your MacBook Pro to a location that has a faster, publicly accessible Internet connection and download it there. An Apple Store would be ideal, but if that is not an option, a public library may offer high speed Internet, as do many hotels, coffee shops, or similar locations where you may have to pay a small fee.
    When the download completes, you can copy the Install OS X Mavericks icon to another folder or an external storage device such as a flash drive, where it will remain available to use again, as often as you wish. Do that before proceeding with the Mavericks upgrade, otherwise the installer will erase the file.
    The installer icon resembles the following
    (Launchpad)
    The following will also appear in /Applications:
    Copy that to another location, such as Documents, by holding an option key while you drag it there.
    Of course, every time Apple releases an OS X update you will need to download another, rather large file.

  • Sound stops working while using headphones on Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013)

    I have a brand new Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) with OSX 10.9.1 installed. The sound continuously stops working when I'm using my headphones (which I use on a daily basis). I've noticed that when I unplug the headphones, the sound from the internal speakers and the headphone port stops working.
    I've already checked other answers and have tried their suggestions:
    I've looked at the sound settings and it is not set to mute.
    I've tried unplugging the headphones several times in a row and that still doesn't work.
    I don't see a red light in the headphone port.
    I've checked the headphones and there is nothing wrong with them (I use them with other devices).
    I've tried using different headphones, but the problem persists.
    The only way to get the sound working again is by restarting my laptop which is very inconvenient. I use this laptop for working and having to restart it every time I unplug my headphones is just not a solution. I honestly have no idea what is going on. This is a very new laptop (and my first Macbook); I've had it for less than 3 months. The laptop stays on my desk and has not been dropped or damaged in any way. This is a very expensive laptop and the last thing I would expect is for there to be a problem like this.
    If anyone has a solution to get rid of this problem once and for all, please let me know!
    Thank you.

  • Do you need cuda for playback with 4k on Macbook pro late 2013?

    My question is, I have a macbook pro (late 2013) i7 ,16G ram , nvidia Gforce 750m with 2GB ddr5, mavericks osx 10.9.1.
    Does this machine playback 4k with software only? or does it needs to have cuda enabled?
    Because i did several tests first with RED files 4k and even with resolution on 1/4 i still have drop frames. Then i tested with Arri Alexa RAW files 2k, and premiere simply can have a decent playback no matter the resolution 1/2 lags and droped frames, 1/4 its a no go because it has a lot of pixels can't really see whats happening.
    One more test was the 4k Canon IOS 1-D files. These files again look like the arri ones, i dont have a playback no matter the resolution!! These files i cant even playback them on VLC they lag all over the place.
    I runned the files on the internal SSD 700MB Read write, and then on a lacie us3, same problem. On premiere with software only and with cuda, same thing.
    (i already posted on a diferent discussion, im having droped frames with cuda enable on simple H264 files, so maybe for 4k is possible, but only when cuda option fully works)
    So its there a problem with my computer, or you guys think its adobe premiere CC ?
    Thanks

    CUDA doesn't help at all with playback.  It only helps with effects, scaling, blending modes and such.
    For that kind of media, you really should be looking at a proper workstation with five internal drives:
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    And you might want to consider making that Media drive a RAID 3, which means a minimum of seven internal drives.

    I recently got a Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013), and the screen has been spontaneously blinking. It's exceptionally distracting, and I've been unable to correlate it to any running program. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Your MacBook is in warranty, so take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get the MacBook repaired or replaced free of charge. It looks like a hardware issue, so it's better to do this

  • Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

    Hi,
    I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
    Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.
    thx in advance

    I  Reformatted the CF card  on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
    Interesting point about  the low power  of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves  when the mac pro  was idle or slept  Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives  needed  me  to change the sleep setting  or the Mac Pro   to never and  i also  had to deploy a  script to write to each device  ever minute,   this  kind  of sold the problem  with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering  power  to a CF card   can eject  it  in a manor  which would make the  computer  think it is corrupt.
    I have looked at  buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two  of the ports are powered. 
    Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially  as everything has to be connected externally  
    Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.

  • I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

    I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!
