Why is the keyboard brightness of my new macbook pro retina is behaving in an opposite manner in low light

I racently bought a 13'' macbook pro with retina display (late 2013) and everything works fine with the exeption of the keyboard brightness. when I chose the adjust function in low light it suppose to increase the brightness of the keyboard during dim light, however, it's doing quite the opposite and the brightness is dicreasing making it harder to see the letters, how can I fix this problem?

Hi BobRz, you are probably talking about the screen display which normaly dims during low light conditions, and that's true. but my concern is the keyboard brightness, it suppose to increase in low light conditions, but instead it dims to the point that i can no longer see the letters on the keyboard. I have viewed a youtube video about the normal adustment function, and mine is doing the opposite

  • New Macbook pro retina but with different keyboard ?

    Can I buy the new macbook pro retina 13' in HK but with a French keyboard ? I don't find the option online.. thanks!

    No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record.  In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
    A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

    P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model?
    The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support.  The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
    I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section.  I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.

  • Why is my new macbook pro retina kinda choppy when scrolling safari/etc.?

    why is it that the new macbook pro retina I bought doesn't seem to be scrolling as smoothly as you would think?  Scrolling in safari seems just a bit laggy.  Is this a software issue?  It does this both with the hd400 and 650m.  Hopefully this is a software issue and not the GPU strugging to drive the massive resolution of this display.  I have the 2.6ghz/ mid level config.

    Which resolution are you on?
    I notice when scaled to say 1920x1200, the whole system becomes slightly more laggy, not just Safari. But I think that's because there's also a screen smoothing process just before the images gets shown onscreen otherwise everything would be chunky and jagged.
    I'm on unscaled 2880x1440 retina mode and Safari is super smooth scrolling... not sure whats going on with your computer.
    Do you have any junk apps or processes running in the background by any chance?
    My MBPR is the baseline model with only 8GB ram, OS X 10.8.1 and Safari 6.0 8536.25.

  • I have had a series of Macs.  They have been backed up with Time Machine. I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro.  No go.  What do I do ?

    I am trying to restore TM backup files from the older Macs using my new MacBook Pro.  No go.
    Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
    Details are here:   http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html   The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite.   If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck?  What error messages do you see?

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display.  There is no CD/DVD player on this machine.  Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine?  Yes, I have the disk(s).

    I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

  • Why is the transportation C02e 4x higher for Macbook pro 15" compared to iMac 27".

    Why is the transportation C02e 4x higher for Macbook pro 15" compared to iMac 27".

    Both are great machines but have rather different purposes...while the graphics are good on the MBP, the iMac graphics would be a major step up.  Especially if you want to do heavy duty photo or video work, and heavy game use.  If the MBP is getting hot and running the fans hard, that would point you to the iMac with its higher end graphics capability.
    The photo and video work would be much easier with the larger screen and higier end graphics and faster cpu.

  • What cases are good for the new macbook pro retina display 15"

    What folio cases are out there that don't damage the new macbook pro retina display 15" I keep looking but can't find any, they all seem to have serious negative reviews

    be specific,  hard case or CARRY CASE?
    hard cases are not recommended, trap in dust and junk and trap heat
    A great carry case, and best made for the money are those made by INCASE as seen in Apple stores and amazon.com

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.
