Which 4K TV can I use that will be best used attached to my new macbook pro 15 Retina

I would like to hook up a 4K TV to my new macbook pro 15 retina...
I am not young and I prefer a nice large screen (less than 40") so I can switch from watching TV to using the computer.
I went to the local Future Shop and I got a whole lot of talk.
I need better advice.
I want to know which one is best and how to hook it up to my macbook.(what cables do I use etc)
I want to retain that retina look on the TV screen.
HELP!

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

  • Use Aperture 3.2.4 license on iMAC on new MacBook Pro Retina

    I have Aperture 3.2.4 on an iMAC originally purchased as installed software on the iMAC.  I want to use the license from the iMAC on a new MAC Book Pro Retina.  How do I install Aperture on the MAC Book Pro with the license key from the iMAC?

    Do you still have the installer on your iMac? If not, download the Trial version, if this link still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    You can find your serial number in the "About" panel on your iMac: From Aperture's main menu bar:
         Aperture > About Aperture

  • I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine.  I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

    I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option?  I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt!  Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours???  I've been hearing these horror stories...

  • I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

    I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

    I'm not understanding your question. I think you would use any of the current web design formats. Are you talking about what styles to use? If so see the css standards css1, css2, css3 to see what they can provide and which browsers are most compatible. If you are talking about languages use a current standard like html5, php, C#, visual basic , javascript, etc.
    Be more specific about what you are asking.

    Yes, I too had this problem.
    I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.

  • How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

    Hello all,
    I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
    Thank you

    You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.
    Regards,
    Ryan

  • Reinstalling FCP7 in my new Macbook Pro Retina Display. I have my serial numbers back to FCP1. But it tells me that I have an invalid serial number.  Why?

    Reinstalling FCP in new Macbook Pro Retina from time machine backup.  Have all serial numbers back to FCP1 but I am warned I have an invalid serial number.  How can that be!  I need to install and use this weekend.
    Thank you in advance for the help.

    How, exactly are you doing this?
    When I restored  my new computer from the time machine, the software was transfer to the new machine, in the past when double clicking the icon it would come up and ask for the serial numbers.  This time was the same with the exception of:
    I did not enter an invalid serial number, I tried all the numbers I have.  But none of them worked.
    I will try to install from discs.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them.  They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent.  They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover.  The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free.  If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store.  For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

  • Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files

    Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!

    Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
    Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
    What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
    Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
    Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
    Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
    Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files.  Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
    Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp).

  • Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    What are these files you are trying to copy over?
    If they are program specific and there is no program on a Mac to read them then you'll have to find either a Mac version of that program or one that does the same thing and can read those files.
    The file extension should not change just because you connect a NTFS formatted drive to a Mac computer. A Word Document is still a .doc/.docx ad the same for all other office type programs. Music files with an extension of .MP3, or whatever, should read the same on both system. Same goes for all other files like images with a .JPG extension.
    Yes I would network them.
    I would not use Migration Assistant. There is nothing on your Windows PC that can be used on the Mac other than your personal data files. No programs or settings can be carried over from Windows to OS X.

    Also, when I view the files from the external hard drive, they show up as .nbz and are not recognized by any program on the Mac. Should I just abandon the hard drive option and start sharing files through the LAN approach?

  • New MacBook Pro Retina can't find new Time Capsule.

    I have a new MacBook Pro Retina, for which I am trying to set up a new Time Capsule.  The Time Capsule is attached by Ethernet cable to my modem, and I have opened Airport Utility.  The Time Capsule is continuously blinking amber, and Airport Utility says "No configured Airport base stations have been found." Has anyone else had this problem?
