Because you, your Mac, or maybe both are doing wrong.

I think you mean "MacBook Pro". Take your new Mac back to the retailer who sold it to you ASAP and ask him to check the problem you see.
If your new MBP is defective, your retailer can help you get it repaired or replaced.
If there is nothing wrong with your new Mac, your retailer can show you how to use it to get the best possible image quality.

HT6099 why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all 120Hz. So much for future proof.

Why does the Mac App Store invite me to install already installed software?

When I view Purchased Items at the Mac App Store, the button for some of my installed apps reads "Installed" but for others it reads "Install." If I click on the Install button for these apps I get a message that reads: We could not complete your purchase - [this software] is already installed on your computer. Choose Software Update ... to check for available updates." But, Software Update has nothing for me...

Still a puzzle after several hours...

Why does the MAC heat up

Why does the Mac Pro merge email accounts?

When I set up the email the MacPro merged mine and my husbands accounts. How can I separate them?

INBOX is by design, the Union of all of your listed email accounts. I have six email accounts for various purposes that feed into my inbox.
If you want to look at them individually, just select the specific email account you wish to see displayed.
Mac OS X is prepared to have login accounts for each person, so that all their individual preferences (screensaver, opened Applications, desktop background, and lots of other items) can be tracked separately.
If you do not want to view your husband's email in your Inbox, give him his own login and put his email account there instead of in your inbox.

Why does the Mac Airs keep dropping the network

We are using WEP and or WPA-WPA2 Personal. Once the lid is closed and reopend, system ask for admin user name and password. This happens on just the Macbook Airs. Our WAP's are Cisco. Or when a teacher is working with the unit, the signal will just drop for a few minutes, then come back up. Any one else having this issue and what did you do to resolve thie problem?
Thank.

Might be some of the same issues in this thread assuming your MBA is a 2013 model

Why does the Mac App Store say "Item not currently available in the U.S. store" when I try to upgrade to OS X Yosemite?

This showed up when I clicked "Upgrade Now" from the Apple website.

Because Apple hasn't completed the release yet and/or their servers are flooded.

Why does the Mac App Store default back to the first page of results?

When I search in the MAS for any app and there are more than one page of results, while I am browsing pages 2 and up when I select an app to look at and go back to the search results (either by swiping on my trackpad OR clicking the back button) the list of pages defaults to the first page of results. Is this a bug or is there some setting somewhere that I can change to make it work right??

This is a user forum; whether or not anybody at Apple sees this is not known.
You could log a feature request with Apple via the bugreport tool, if you have access to that tool.

Probably a noob question, but why does the Mac OSX volume control window...

...randomly pop up sometimes. I think I'm triggering it, but I don't know how.

It pops up when you use a dock and control the volume or when your sliding volume and you press the Home button. Its there so you won't have to navigate to the Music app and see the volume

Why does the mac dock firefox icon suddenly say c-vcxzcxz...cxzcdxz instead of firefox?

Why does the mac just shut off

We've had the iMac for about a month and love it except about 2 weeks ago it just started turning itself off.

We have to unplug it and plug it back in. Any help?

Why does the App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.)

Why does the Mac App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.) rather than ever finding any updates?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

i have the new flash player installed

The built in iSight cam doesn't have anything to do with embedded video on websites.
That site requires the latest Flash plugin.
Uninstall your current copy of Flash, then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very imporant to uninstall the current Flash plugin first.
Then restart your Mac, launch Safari.
Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Why does the MacBook Retina 15" do software scaling to the native resolution of 2880x1800?

OS X does not allow changing the viewport resolution to the native 2880x1800, and it suggests 1440x900 as a retina optimized one. This means that software scaling is done on the fly. My question is, why?
I have two suspicions:
1. Running everything at the native resolution puts a bigger strain on the GPU, hence slowing down the OS, putting down battery time.
2. The number of apps using retina-ready sprites is miniscule, hence Apple does not want to mess with the user experience. Although I doubt it, as software post-processing is done even now, and apps with non-retina sprites look slightly blurred. If the native resolution would have been used, they would just look a bit more blurry.
Just some comments:
1. Switching to the native resolution will make everything smaller, up to the point of not being usable. But this is a non-argument, as the OS could be smart enough to use bigger versions of the sprites/icons/text. Apple already demands that developers use hi-res sprites (OS X Human Interface Guidelines), hence everything could be scaled x2 and it would be the same size at 2880x1800, as it is at 1440x900 in the current version of the OS.
2. Technically it is possible, as outlined here: Running the Retina MacBook Pro at Full 2880x1800 Resolution. Have a look at the comments too, there are some interesting observations in line with this question, but no definite answers.
3. I am aware that the OS X Cocoa server is running at native resolution at all times. This question is concerned with the viewport resolution, which requires hacks to be set to the native one.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.
