Troubles With MBP with Retina Display

I recently made my first major purchase for my first year at college. I purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and absolutely loved it. However, there was a scratch on the screen which really took away from the retina display experience so I took it back to replace it. I also figured I might as well upgrade the hardrive as I will be editing videos and taking lots of pictures. I recieved a new MacBook Pro within about a week. Within a few days of using it I noticed a giant horizontal bar running across the entire screen. I took it back today and recieved store credit to purchase a new one when they arrive in a while (might be about a month). Anyways, I am a bit concered that there will be a problem when I recieve my 2nd replacement. Is Apple going to work out the production kinks so that I won't get another lemon? I'm going to be relying on this thing for the next four to five years of my college career!

Hardware does fail occasionally, but part of why I would take mine to an Apple Store would be for an opinion on whether the problem was hareware or software. Since it has been less than a year since your bought your MBP-R, it is still under warranty, just not eligible for free phone assistance. If you have neither an Apple Store nor a trusted repair facility available to you, that will make it tougher.
Do I understand you to say this only happens after it has been asleep for a longish time? You can keep it from happening by waking it up sooner or by shutting down when you expect to be away for a longer time? I'm not sure what that tells us, but it in interesting.
Do you by any chance have a bootable copy of your system on an external disk? Preferrably one that was made before you started experiencing the symptoms. If so, does the MBP-R present the same symptoms when booted from that copy?

Why ipad mini released with a non-retina display.. The only reason i didn't buy that..

I was so much after the ipad mini..
but released with the non-retina display and this put me down a lot and I didnt buy this one at all.
Now I am looking one but with a larger screen and where i can use that as a phone around 4.5" min.
Thanks

There are a few "phablets", small tablets that are also phones, but Apple does not make one. Thus far these "phablets" are not proving to be very popular, but if you think one would meet your needs, by all means look into them.

MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display RAM Failure?

Hi there!
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display on Christmas at an Apple Retail Store, and I was experiencing some lag. The lag occurred when creating simple graphical animations, like swiping to reveal Mission Control. So I took it in. The diagnostics were fine, so they said that they'd try and repair it. After a few days, I got a call and they told me that I have bad RAM. And being a computer freak, I understand that it is part of the lo-bo. Now they have to order an entirely new logic board, and I have to wait even longer.
For $1700, that was disappointing. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Well, I was told that nobody in the Apple Retail Store had seen this specific problem before. I couldn't find anything on the Internet either. I wanted to know if there was someone else who's MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display's Hynix RAM slowed down graphical performance, because it sounds odd. I am aware that defects are common, but this seems, again, particularly queer.

MBP's Retina display & Thunderbolt display?

I plan to upgrade from my MacBook to a MacBook pro and a Thunderbolt Display, need the large screen display and the portability. Will the Thunderbolt display reflect the quality of the MBP’s Retina display?

I have that exact setup with a new MBP Retina and a Thunderbolt 27" Display. I love the setup. But, no, the Thunderbolt is not a Retina display. However, the size of the screen makes up for it with me. I'm sure that Apple will produce a Thunderbolt Retina display within the next year. Probably kinda pricey since the TD is already $1,000, thereabouts.
One thing I did have go wrong on the display was the "All-in-One" display cable which is a permanent cable mounted to the display (i.e. not replaceable by user) and which has two cable connector that connect to your computer (one for computer power and one for a Thunderbolt computer port). Either the cable or some electronics in the TD leading to the cable failed. My symptom was that video was just fine (fooling you to think all is well), but I lost external control to anything plugged into the ports on the display (USB, Ethernet, Firewire, etc). It was as if the hub inside the display wasn't being powered up or something, and it also did not show up on the System Information under USB. The work around was to unplug the Display Thunderbolt cable from the Computer and bypass it with a regular Thunderbolt cable between the computer and the empty display Thunderbolt port.
I love the setup now that my display works fine. One recommendation is to be sure and have an extra Thunderbolt cable on hand.
Regards,
Barry

Wi-Fi Dropping MBP w/ Retina Display

I'm having trouble w/ wi-fi dropping off frequently on a new 15" MBP w/ Retina Display. Is there a solid fix? Thx.

Since you're still under warranty, you should take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine. It could be a screen problem, a GPU problem, etc.
I've not seen many posts from Retina users about 'screen flickering' here - best to get it fixed while you're still under warranty (and now may be a good time to think about getting the AppleCare Protection Plan to stretch your warranty from one year to three).
Good luck,
Clinton

I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display and battery starts at 8 hr charge and drops to 7 hr in just 30 minutes of run time. This is not what I expected from Apple!!

I've installed 10.8.1 on new MBP w/ retina display. Fully charged battery shows 8 hrs at 100% then drops to 7 hrs after only 1/2 hr of use. I was hoping that 10.8.1 would have fixed a obviously well publicized defect.

Sorry pal, not this time. The release notes for 10.8.1 do not discuss anything about battery issues. I do know Apple is aware of the problem thought and are working on a fix, hopefully in the forthcoming 10.8.2.

MBP w Retina display screen flickering

My less than 1yr old MBP w Retina display has begun to have a screen flicker problem that is rather annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? What can be done to fix it? How to tell if it is software or hardware related?
Thank in advance for any help or suggestions

Since you're still under warranty, you should take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine. It could be a screen problem, a GPU problem, etc.
I've not seen many posts from Retina users about 'screen flickering' here - best to get it fixed while you're still under warranty (and now may be a good time to think about getting the AppleCare Protection Plan to stretch your warranty from one year to three).
Good luck,
Clinton

HT4889 Problems with migration assistant from 2010 MBP to Retina Display MBP using ethernet

I am trying to use migration assistant from my 2010 MBP to my Retina Display MBP using ethernet (with thunderbolt adapter) however it can not find the computer. It only finds it over wifi. I have updated all my software on monutain lion. Can anyone help?

I know I am not answering your question but I would try to use FW800.
I imagine the 2010 MBP does not have TB or it whould be better a TB direct connection.
Last try: have you managed to use migration assistant "both ways" ? I mean you can manage to use it from each of the 2 connected Macs.

Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links. Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support. Anyone have any Ideas! My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it. Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

Graphic design with the MBP (no retina display)

im a graphic design student and was wondering if the macbook pro (non retina display) would be good enough for everyday designing. I would upgrade to the i7 and 8 gb of ram.

Yes - it would work just fine: and if you ever wanted to add a larger monitor for your home studio, you could do that as well.
Assuming that you'll be using the Adobe CC suite for students?

How does adobe apps looks with the new retina display macbook?

I'ver heard that it gets so blurry that you cant even read the text. I use adobe creative suite 6 production premium. does the video inside apps like adobe after effect play in "retina" quality? is there anything I can do to make it not blurry if it will look blurry?

I frequent the CS6 forums - particularly Photoshop - and most users are quite happy using CS6 products on MBP-R using the 'best for Retina resolution option. I have yet to hear someone say that they apps are unusable, etc. People are just waiting for Adobe to announce Photoshop for Retina display, as shown at the June Apple WWDC.
There's really nothing out there to replace the CS6 apps with - I think that you'll be fine with them. If you're anxious about it, just don't buy the Retina - buy a 2012 MBP with the HD anti-glare screen.
I assume that it will be several years before applications are updated for Retina - if at all.
Check out some of the CS6 Adobe forums to read what MBP-R owners have to say - I've not read that many complaints.
