Using Macbook retina with external display

Hello,
Currently I have a MBP 15" and use it on a daily basis with both the built-in display and an external 20" (1680x1050) display. I'm getting a new MBP retina and don't know how OS X is going to manage two displays with such a big difference in dots per inch. Will the "retina-ready" apps look just fine on the retina and enormous on the external? Has anyone tried a configuration like this?
Thanks in advance.

It will handle two displays exactly like it presently does. Each monitor has it's own respective resolution. One monitor's resolution has no bearing on the other when using extended display mode.
The only problem I can see is using mirrored mode since the screen size will be limited by the smallest resolution in the mirrored set. But I never recommend mirrored mode anyhow (except for presentations). It's such a waste of good display real estate.

MacBook Pro with external display sometimes

I want to use my MacBook Pro with my external display (Apple 23 inch Cinema) when I'm at my office, and to have Spaces set up and optimized for that. When I'm at home or on the road, I want Spaces set up differently, optimized for the MacBook Pro display only (no external display). Can I do this? Do I need to set up separate accounts on the MBP to do this, or can I do it some other way? Can you have sets, or multiple instances of Spaces? Otherwise, I want both options -- at work with MBP display plus Apple 23 inch Cinema or MBP display only -- to be able to access all of my files and software. The only real difference in the two setups would be the amount of screen real estate and where/how Spaces works within these different screen "landscapes."

You will always have to use the power button to turn it on, and you'll have to open the display for that.
Apple supports using the machine with its display closed, provided you follow the instructions in this article. As long as you do that, it shouldn't cause any harm. But I wouldn't recommend seeing how hot you can get the MBP with the display closed.

Start MacBook retina with external drive

how can I start a MacBook retina with an external drive? I'm trying to trying to use a clone of my system with Mavericks to run the Mac so that I do a clean install of Yosemite. Holding Option key while starting doesn't give me the external drive to select for startup.

Sorry, the Mac is on 10.10 not 10.6. It was on 10.9. The hard drive is on 10.9.

Bug in Illustrator on MacBook Retina with external monitor

I noticed that in Illustrator CS6 - after the Retina update
when I am working on a document on my MacBook Pro Retina - it look fine
but when I connect to external Thunderbolt display - and start moving around objects on layer
I get a bunch of white lines through my graphic where the object rectangle boundries were (in old position and when moved to new position)
this is a display only issue as it does not get exported into final imgae, and it can be cleared by refreshing the screen (drag a window on top of it for example to force a redraw)
however it makes editing very annoying as I'm workign with precision elements and they are getting sliced up with 1 pixel white lines everywhere and I have to go manually clear them every minute or two which is distracting.
Anyone else having this issue? I suppose I'll open a bug report but wanted to see if anyone else noticed it as well.

Yes, you can. I have the Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse and a Dell widescreen display, but if you have a USB keyboard and mouse, it works essentially the same way. Just power everything up, then close the lid on the MBP to put it to sleep. Then, leaving the lid on the MBP closed, press a key or move the mouse, and your MBP will wake using the external display as the primary.
Should be no problem ;))

Macbook crashes with external displays, Macbook crashes with external displays

Dear Community,
I have a problem with my new (Dec. 2013) Macbook Pro. Everything worked fine until two weeks ago. Then, I connected my Macbook via VGA-adapter (original) with an LCD Monitor at home (I had done this before without any problems). My Mac froze and nothing happened, so I had to reboot it manually (press the on/off button 5 seconds). The Macbook would show a grey display und would not reboot, no matter what I tried. The secure boot program did not work, either. I could start it with disk utility and load my last time machine backup.
After I did this, everything worked fine again. Last week I tried to connect my Mac with another LCD display at work (which had also worked fine before). Same error! Mac froze and nothing worked and I had to load a backup again.
I brought my Mac to the next Apple store, where a hardware check revealed no defects.
Nonetheless, they exchanged the logic board and told me everything was fine, again.
Today, I have worked the whole day using my external display at work. Everything was ok, but I could only use the external display and not the Notebook display. When I tried to sync the two monitors to work with the Mac and the external display together – same error!
I have called the Apple store, but they had no idea and just told me that the Apple warranty does not cover third-party displays. The Apple hotline suggested looking for a driver for the external displays, but there are none. And again: Until two weeks ago, everything worked without problems.
Has anybody an idea what to do with this?

I was searching and found that the Matrox DualHead2Go maybe work. Any idea?
Thanks

Use Macbook Air with external speakers

Does anybody know if the Bose Companion 2 Series III Speakers can be used with an macbook air. If yes, is there any adapter needed or can I just plug the cable of the speakers into the MacBook Air headphone jack?

Naturally yes .. The problem is not the USB itsself, but the fact that original adapters from Apple (LAN and DVI) are made from a Thunderbolt connector, and they do not replicate the port where they are connected to.
Others party LAN adapters that comes on USB port are only 10/100 Mbs, whilst the Apple's one is a Gigabit. This is why I asked for some sort of Thnderbolt hub, or any other experinced advice..
I know that the MacBookAir comes with a good 802.11n integrated wireless, but as you know (or can imagine), when you are in the office a Gigabit connection is another movie, especially if you are tranferring large amount of data or are connected to huge centralized databases.
I was preferring a MacBook Air to the pro for it's monitor: for me a 1440x900 is much more better than a 1280x800 when I'm out of office. On the other hand, the version with the retina display is at the moment too expensive for my budget.
The final solution could be a MacBook pro 15", but I was preferring the 13" when in mobility, for its form-factor.

Any way to power on macbook pro with external wired keyboard without opening the lid?

Just a final question about Sleep mode - does this have any negative effects on the life or performance of the laptop? I'm so used to Shutting down the laptop each day that I worry about Sleep mode having some sort of drain on the components or something.
There are only two practical differences between Sleep and Shut Down:
1. Sleep will wake instantly, so you don't have to wait for startup.
2. Sleep will drain a new, fully charged battery after several days without being woken or plugged in. If you shut down, the battery charge lasts much longer. Obviously, if you only sleep it overnight, you'll still have plenty of battery left in the morning.
Don't sleep it more frequently than necessary, though. Frequently turning the backlight and hard drive off and on can shorten their life. Just do what's reasonable. I usually leave mine awake until I have to transport it in a bag, along with sleeping it overnight. On battery, I'll sleep it more often to preserve battery.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

MBP Retina low performance with external displays

Hi everyone!
I have a very bad performance with my MBP 15´´ retina display when it comes to ad an external display. I have a FUL HD LG monitor that looks very bad when i connect the HDMI or the thunderbot port with the proper adapter (as bad as you can´t even read). I want to know if this may ba a hardware problem just with my computer or if it is a software problem, any ideas? does anyone have the same issue?
How can i update my NVIDIA card???
Thanks a lot!

Topic seems to come up here often. Apple has a tendency to dismiss the issue.
Its a pretty well known problem that Mac font smoothing doesn't seem to work well on high resolution third party external displays, making text hard to read. In addition, I think the Mac HDMI resolution support is limited to 1080p, so you must use DP or DVI video interfaces to see full monitor resolution.
The OS default is no font smoothing on external displays (except perhaps the apple display). There is a terminal command that will enable font smoothing for any external monitor, but it often doesn't work well enough. I found that using the OS zoom feature magnifies text to the point to be easily readable. You can set zoom parameters in the accessibility systems preference panel.
For some reason, sometimes the Mac OS thinks some monitors are TVs and use YCbCr instead of RGB. You can open the color sync utility and brouse the settings to see what is being used. There are scripts available that can fix that but are more complicated to install than an app.
It seems that PCs are way ahead of Macs with external display implementation. Most folks having monitor problems with a Mac do not see the same issue with PCs or Unix/Linux OSs.
Oh as far as updating the video card, can't. The monitor "drivers" are built into the OS. When a new display is connected, the OS finds the profile for it.

Thunderbolt - Using the macbook as an external display

Hey, just wondering if Im able to use my macbook as an external display for my imac instead of my imac being used as an external display for my macbook? Im using thunderbolt to connect them.
Cheers

No. Only iMacs currently support that via Target Display Mode. You can use a utility such as ScreenRecycler or a VPN utiility to display the screen via the USB port, but it will be quite slow. You can also use Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences.

I have a macbook retina with a partition of windows 7 and Yosemite. When I use time machine in Yosemite it wont recognise the macintosh HD, but it recognises the windows hd ( bootcamp). Does anybody know why ?

Please provide a bit more detail on what 'recognize' means. A screen shot is always very helpful.

It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

Mirroring with external display trick? Safe for MB?

Hey all! I was just wondering whether it is safe to keep using the mirroring mode trick with your macbook and an external display? The trick consists of closing the lid of the macbook and then tapping on your mouse to make it wake without having the screen up. Then you can open the top and use the macbook keyboard while the screen is all black. Does doing this often harm the macbook in any way?

No Wireless Internet with External Display, Other Issues

Hello,
When I connect an external monitor to my MBA, I lose my connection to the Internet. The wi-fi signal remains strong, but pages will not load (I tried many) and I cannot retrieve email. The connection times out when I try to ping as well. This occurs whether I have the MBA open or closed. The loss of Internet happens immediately when I connect an external display using the supplied dongle, and returns the moment I disconnect it. It is clearly an issue with external displays.
On the advice of an Apple Genius, I also tried disabling bluetooth. I did so, and turned off all my bluetooth devices (Apple keyboard and mouse, iPhone), but the problems persist.
The other trouble I am having is difficulty connecting to a network for the first time in a session. In other words, I was connected all day yesterday, take the MBA home, and return to the office the next day. MBA takes a long time to see the network, then fails to accept the password. If I carry the MBA closer to the wireless router, it finds and connects automatically as I'd saved my password. When I return to my desk, I remain connected with full signal strength. This has happened in two locations, one with an Airport Extreme, the other with a Netopia 802.11g router. When my Macbook Pro is sitting right next to the MBA, it recognizes and connects to the same networks almost instantaneously.
Anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.

Just a quick update... I was on the phone with Apple Support on Saturday morning and I thought we were making progress. The basic idea behind the proposed solution was that there was some "Preferences" that were causing the problem. We started over with a clean Preferences folder and tried connecting up the external monitor. At first, this approach was showing progress. The suggestion was to copy over my original Preferences (I had made a backup copy) just a few at a time until we figured out which ones caused the problem. The problem with this approach is that immediately after I got off the phone, the internet started not to work again. So, even with a clean Preferences folder, the internet would quit working after connecting up the external monitor.
So, I'm back to the drawing board. I have since restored my Preferences folder and I don't have my external monitor and internet working at the same time. BTW, I also upgraded to 10.5.3 and it didn't help.
Still bummed,
Kevin
