What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

Well, I am. Power Nap is just one of the features you don't get on a Retina unless you do run Mountain Lion.

    What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses.  I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated.  I would like a simple but effective solution!

    It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook.  Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever.  In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method.  It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been).  I have never received an email from Google of this nature.  I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

  • What is the largest SSD Drive for my MacBook pro 8,2?

    What is the largest solid state drive I can install in my MacBook pro 15" (Version 8,2 - i7 2.3 GHz) with 8GB RAM I currently am running OS X 10.6.8 But I want to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 and perform a clean install with Mavericks and manually move my files off of my backup.
    The Samsung 1TB  MZ-7TE1TB0BW looks nice but I don't know if it works well with my older MacBook Pro, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
    Thanks

    1TB is as large as you'll get. Crucial also makes a nice one, and I can speak for Crucial working well with a machine that's 2 years older than yours.

  • What's the best game controller for a MacBook Pro?

    I have a mid-2012, non-Retina, 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.5 Ghz i5 and 8 GB of RAM. My current OS is 10.9.1. I've played Starcraft 2 for some time without any problems, but there are a few newer games on the Mac App Store that look like they'd be no fun with a keyboard and mouse. I'm hoping people here have recommendations for the best game pads or controllers that are compatible with Mac.
    Please let me know if you have a controller that works really well for you, thanks!

    I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!

  • What is the best way to look after Macbook Pro Retina Display battery?

    Hello,
    I am a little confused on how to look after the battery in my new Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I have read lots of different things and I do not seem to get a clear answer.
    I feel by charging my laptop all the way, then using till 0% and doing it all over again uses the cycles faster and therefore meaning it will not last as long. I also read that having that laptop plugged in a lot of the time will also damage the battery. I have read the document Apple have posted online but it doesn't give me a time frame of what is or is not a good length of time for it to be fully charged and plugged in for. Should I charge then unplug or is it safe to have it plugged in for a few days when being used? I always unplug regardless when I am not in the room with the laptop.
    Could someone please advice me on what they feel is the best way to keep the battery healthy. Thanks Benjamin

    I think this is a great topic to get advice from the community, I have often wondered about this topic too.
    My thoughts/experience are:
    Cycle count seems to be the factor that ages the battery - although it is not exactly clear when your cycle count will click up by 1. I suspect it must be significant use or period off charge - but no idea how to quantify that.
    I mostly have my unibody 15" MBP (early 2011) plugged, so after 14 months my cycle count is 28 and the battery charges to around 93-96% of initial capacity.
    I use Watts and coconutbattery to keep an eye on battery condition and Watts is set to remind me to do a complete discharge/recharge (calibration) every month or so.
    However I was away for 10 days recently and left MBP plugged in but shutdown. Before going I'd been keeping MBP extra busy and had skipped a calibration. On return I was using normally and then got a clue that all was not well with my battery although it said fully charged in menu bar.
    I pulled the magsafe, instant off just like pulling lead on a desktop. No charge.
    Magsafe LED showing green but no charge and not charging. Battery status said to replace battery.
    Feeling upset at the suddendeath of a good friend I tried to reset SMC but the instructions seemed not to help.
    Finally LUCK with an idea: I shutdown, unplugged, waited a bit, plugged while holding power button down and LED went orange, my battery started charging and went up to 96%.
    I had been about to go pay for a new battery!
    So good usage is important and we/I are not that well informed about best usage - I had been looking.
    Maybe not everywhere but....

  • What is the default superuser password for a macbook pro

    I created a user account and I am the 'admin'.  When I type 'su' in a terminal window, my password is not accepted.  I also set up a 'master password' and
    this is also not accepted as the superuser password.  What can I use for the superuser password or how do I change it?

    By default, it's set to an illegal value. Unless the root user has been enabled, nothing will be accepted.

  • What is the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro

    I use the laptop in a variety of settings.  It gets really hot on my lap and was wondering if anyone has used a cooling pad they like for this problem.

    I'm sure someone will jump in with the best of the best. FWIW the MBP is not a laptop it is a notebook. And as you've probably read in your User Guide does not belong on your lap.

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

    What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)
    I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..
    I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..
    I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..
    What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

    Has anyone used or have any opinions about Lightning?  I found some positive reviews around, and granted they all mention it's unrefined, they all seem to think it is the fastest.  Great as that may be, before I fork out the $2 I would like to get some more info regarding privacy and security.
