Will the new 2012 MacBook pro allow me to play my Games console via the hdmi slot?

Hi, I am looking to purchase the new MacBook pro 15 inch retina display for work. I was wondering whether I would be able to play my games console 360/ps3 via the hdmi slot as this would save me prove buying a tv for my flat.

I don't think you can. This is because the there is no "source" on any Mac, this means that you can only use the computer. So what I'm saying is that the MBP with retina display is only "out" so you can only use it to show what's on the monitor on your tv.

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

  • Any idea when China will release the new Haswell MacBook Pros?

    So I'm currently in China, and I'm waiting for the Retail stores to start selling the new Haswell MacBook Pros. As much as i know, the government are approving them and I'm unfortunately, becoming impatient now. If you an answer to my question or suggestions, they would all be taken to my appreciation.
    Cheers.

    Wait until they are available in the store.
    Best.

  • Imported old computer via time machine into new 2012 macbook pro, but its still running ilife 09 instead of 11?

    imported old computer via time machine into new 2012 macbook pro, but its still running ilife 09 instead of 11?

    I am assuming you had iLife 09 on the old computer - when you moved everything over, that came along with it.
    I also have older versions of iLife (on install disks) and just recently got a new 2012 Macbook Pro. I noticed that iMovie 11, iPhoto and Garageband (I think) are listed in my Mac App Store Purchases with a notation to "accept". So you might want to check MAS to see if the apps are sitting there.
    Now, I have chosen not to accept them for now for two reasons: I have iLife 11 on a disk and prefer that rather than having it tied to MAS/Apple ID and as long as I have my disk version installed, I also still have iDVD which I use a lot. I'm not sure if "accepting" those three from MAS would wipe out my iLife 11 installs including iDVD (which would be unacceptable for me). So, since I already have the latest version, I've opted to ignore the "accept" and, in fact, will leave it like that - if I ever sell this machine, the buyer can then accept them if they want with their own Apple ID. So before accepting the apps (if they are listed in MAS), you might want to check to make sure that your iLife install isn't wiped out - that is, if you have iDVD and want to keep it.

    I have the new retina MacBook Pro.  I made an iMovie but there's no idvd.  How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

    Apple no longer sells iDvd.  You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.

  • The new 13" MacBook Pro - i5 or i7?

    Regarding the new 13" MacBook Pro, how much of a speed difference will there be between the i5 and the i7 versions? Is it worth the $300? My G4 Powerbook is going to be retired shortly and the new 13" are here just in time.

    The biggest difference in benchmarking and day to day performance between the i5 and i7 MBP 13" isn't so much the processor as it is about hard drive performance. I owned the i7 version for a while, but returned it as I couldn't justify the high price in a machine that was just suplimenting some light duties away from my high end iMac. In picking up the i5 version, it was OK for speed, but really slowed down over the month I've been using it. I traced this back to the poorly performing Seagate 320 GB 5200 rpm drive. Now that I've upgraded that to a Hitachi 500 GB 7200, my boot time is 26 seconds -- identical to the i7 version. My 64 bit Geekbench testing has jumped from 5800 to 6450 -- a huge increase. And take note that the i7 version, with it's faster HD, clocks in around 6900 in geekbench.
    I picked the i5 MBP 13" up at MicroCenter in the states for just over a grand, and the hard drive replacment was around 60 bucks. I saved roughly 400 and got a machine thats 95% of the i7 version.

  • How well does Aperture 2.0 run on the new 13" Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I'm seriously considering buying a new mac in the next week or so. I was just wondering if any of you had any advice as to whether the new 13" Macbook Pro is good enough to run Apple's Aperture 2.0, quite well? I'm not worried about the screen size as I will mostly be working from home, but the mobility would be a huge advantage in the field.
    Thank-you,
    Rob

    The 13" MBP is relatively a lower end box for running a VERY hardware-hungry application. There are folks who consider strong Mac Pros marginal yet at the same time there are folks who find Macbooks even weaker than the 13" MBP "strong enough," so "quite well" unfortunately is in the eyes of the beholder. IMO IF one is aware of and accepts the limitations a 13" MBP certainly "works."
    RAM fortunately can go to 8GB, a very big deal; however among Macs the 13" box has minimum-in-class graphics, no EC/34 slot forever preventing eSATA and/or SSD utility, and has a glossy-only display.
    I'm not worried about the screen size as I will mostly be working from home, but the mobility would be a huge advantage in the field.
    Working from home you will presumably be driving a secondary display, further taxing the weaker graphics of the 13" size.
    Personally I don't find the ~1 pound saving over the 15" or the ~2 pound saving over the 17" to be "a huge advantage in the field." IMO for graphics, especially photos, the loss of screen real estate and pixels in the 13" size is a huge disadvantage in the field. The pound or two of weight IMO is much, much less relevant than the huge benefits of extra pixels and screen real estate in larger sizes.

  • Extremely high system CPU load on my new 2012 Macbook Pro

    I just brought my brand new 2012 Macbook Pro (non-retina) home from the store and noticed that it was running INCREDIBLY slow. I opened up the activity monitor and found that the system's CPU load is consistently around 70%-90%. I haven't installed any software outside of google chrome, although the issue was happening even before I installed google chrome.
    Here are screenshots of my macbook's specs
    Here's a screenshot of the processes sorted by %CPU
    Here's a screenshot of the processes sorted by CPU Time
    Any idea what would cause such a high system CPU load? Again I haven't installed any software outside of google chrome, and I don't have anything hooked up to my Macbook. This issue happens when my Macbook is both plugged and unplugged and I haven't noticed any overheating or extensive fan use.

    harkiamsuperman,
    your first image shows Chrome using over half of the CPU time. Note that Chrome on Mavericks is more CPU-intensive than other browsers, since Google does not provide a 64-bit version of the app for OS X.
    Since you’ve just brought your MacBook Pro home, perhaps Spotlight is doing its initial indexing of your internal disk; that could be one possible explanation. If that is the cause, then your CPU usage should settle down after it finishes.
    If you’d like to try something simple and immediate, you could reset your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference.

  • What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro?

    What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro?

    Note that iStatPro has not been updated in quite awhile and may not be reading the guts of a totally new system correctly. IIRC, the Late 2011 MBPs were beginning to tax iStatPro already, as they had newer sensors the older code was completely unaware of.
    For strictly measuring temps on the guts of these newer Macs, maybe use Marcel Bresink's free Temperature Monitor? Last updated in March 2012. In my Late 2011 15" MBP, it picks up all 18 sensors...

    Or go whole hog for his Hardware Monitor, for oodles more info from the Mac. Follow the Products link from above.

  • Mail transfer from the old macbook to the newer retina macbook pro

    Hey, My father moved from an old macbook to the new retina macbook pro about 2 months back. Now as he is a business man he requires all his emails from his old mac onto the new macbook. The problem is to integrate his old mail data with 2 months of his current mail data.
    All the instructions i have yet found online only seem to be for a new macbook where all the mail data and preferences could be transfered.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers

  • Life of the new Retina MacBook Pro's FLASH Architecture?

    Dear all,
         How long does the new Retina MacBook Pro's flash based SSD memory last? How exactly is a "write" defined? If I'm going to be paying approximately 2K or more, I better be able to use this computer without problems for 6-8 years.
    Thanks

    You said:

    That means you expect to get 8 years out of a notebook computer. 2004 was 8 years ago. Apple was selling iBooks and PowerBooks back then running 10.3. This is at odds with your 2007 MacBook running the latest operating system. Obviously you do not expect to get 6-8 years from a notebook. You are faulting a brand-new machine with brand-new technologies for failing to meet requirements that have never before been imposed by you or anyone else.
    Your second sentence is completely unhelpful because "as long as all Apple notebooks last" depends much on the user.
    That is correct. If you are the type of person that uses your MacBook Pro for light web surfing, e-mail, newsletters, and as a receptical for Frappuccinos ®, then I can guarantee it won't last 8 years.
    If you use it only for its intended purposes, then it may or may not be able to run the lateset operating system in 2017. It may even need a hardware refresh to restore original performance. If you are lucky, it might last until 2020, but no reasonable person would expect that.

  • Who Manufactures the new Unibody MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone tell me who is building the new Unibody MacBook Pros? Is it Foxconn? Asus? Some other company? And where are they being built?

    More than likely Quanta. There are some indications that Quanta is the sole supplier for the unibody chassis at least.

    They're likely being built at Quanta-owned factories in mainland China.

    See the specs:
    Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
    Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt.
