Would a busted speaker in a macbook retina display affect sound through headphones?

I was recently told that my macbook pro retina display had a busted speaker, this conclusion came about because whenever I played audio, and annoying buzzing would come from the speakers. Since i have not had the time lately to take it into apple and have them fix it, I have had to use headphones. To get to the point, I was wondering if busted speakers could affect the sound quality of in-ear earphones?

If your not getting the same Buzzing then there probably isn't anything wrong with the audio chip. Muffled sound in a Movie? Join the club. Every time I watch a movie I have to raise and lower the volume. Not sure why, in my opinion, modern movies have terrible sound. Music way to loud, voices way to low and forget about when they are talking quietly. I though it was me but all my friends say the same thing.
Never have to do this with movies made in the 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90's. It is only with newer movies.

Windows 7 64bit, MBP Retina, Only system sounds through headphones

Like others I have been trawling through the support tickets but nothing seems to resolve the issue for me.
Running Win7 64bit, I plug in my headphones and play audio (FL Studio) and audio continues to play through my speakers and not my headphones. Interestingly when I turn the brightness or sound up and down the incremental "pip" sounds ARE played through the headphones. It's as though Windows doesn't know to route the sound from apps through the headphones. A few nights ago, Youtube started playing through the headphones, I quickly started FL Studio but this still played through the speakers.
I have installed the latest Boot Camp drivers and the latest Cirrus Logic drivers CS4206B (AB40) but to no avail.
Any one made progress on this?
Cheers

Hey Bill and thanks for your answer.
Without changing a thing (to my knowledge) Prem 9 is now starting up properly.
Well 5 out of 6 start ups have been successful!!
Not sure why this is, but project editing and manipulation all seem to working fine and have even exported an end product!!
I guess I'll just have to see how things go.
Thanks again for your suggestions and Happy New Year!!!!

Using Photoshop to create web graphics on a MacBook Retina Display

I have the new 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina Display and just downloaded the latest version of Photoshop. I've found that when creating graphics for the web (buttons, banners, etc), I have to zoom to 200% in order for the size of the graphic to be what will appear on the web. For example, a 600px wide banner appears to be 300px wide in Photoshop (even though it is, indeed, 600px when viewed on the web). I've learned that I have three options:
1) design while squinting to see the very small object on the screen (not really a good choice),
2) check the "Open in Low Resolution" box for Photoshop if I want my graphics to appear to be the right size when designing them in Photoshop, or
3) continue zooming to 200% when working in Photoshop.
My question is: aside from the obvious annoyance factor, which of these options is the best choice for creating the highest quality graphics for the web? Are they both the same result... or am I hurting my graphics in some way by choosing one over the other?
THANK YOU!

That statement indicates you have a bit of a misunderstanding about how things work. It's not true, because you seem to be confusing the term "px" with a physical measurement. What you need to understand is that a pixel on a Retina display is far smaller than one on a non-retina display.
The key is this: Images are upsampled by Safari when displayed. Therefore, "viewed on the web", which you appear to think of as invariant, is actually not the same from computer to computer. Try this: Put a 600 px image into a simple web page, then display it in Safari on your Retina system and screen-grab it. Now measure the size of the image in pixels in the screen grab. It will actually NOT be 600px as you have stated.
Why would Safari upsize a web image on a Retina-equipped system? Because Apple realizes that if it displayed an image that's been prepared for a typical non-retina 100 ppi display, as most are, it would look tiny on the 200+ ppi Retina display, so it's zooming everything for you as a convenience.
I suggest taking some time to get your mind around how things actually work, and get to understand what a pixel really is, rather than making assumptions based on what you see. Once you truly understand how images are actually being displayed, you'll be able to make the right decisions that work for you.
Keep in mind that Photoshop is giving you the use of each and every pixel in that beautiful 200+ ppi Retina display. Safari is not, unless you program your HTML to take advantage of it.
The future of the web, in my opinion, is moving toward a model where images are actually provided at a higher-than-absolutely necessary resolution, and so high resolution displays will be able to make more of them, and people can easily use zooming to see even more detail as they want.

Macbook Retina Display - Creaks when opening programs

My macbook retina display creaks randomly only when programs open.
For example, when diablo opens, it makes a creaking sound just underneath the keyboard.
When a youtube video starts playing, it creaks.
When i open chrome or safari, it creaks.
It only creaks at the beginning when programs starts running.
Wierd.
anyone having this problem too?
Please share.
cheers.

I imagine it is not an expected issue, as my 2010 MBP worked just fine. Also, were the issue expected I would hope that it would be compensated for. I am typing this response on the Retina MBP and there is definitely lag or letters disappearing all togther. I am also typing this to get the screen shots of the activity monitor.
Here are the results:
Also, when posting the pictures here in this message, the images seemed askew until I scrolled the screen a little. It would seem to me a video card issue but I am not a Mac genius so I am just guessing. I am using the default "best for retina" resolution setting.
This is also what I am saw just now as I was scrolling:
Notice the lines of text don't align.

Slightly misled & eye strain - Macbook Retina Display

Anyone else feel slightly misled over the new macbook "retina" display? Highest resolution ever in a laptop etc.
Well it isn't it's still basically the same 1440x900 desktop as my old macbook even if it is underpinned by 4 x the pixels.
If I deviate from the 1440 by upping the resolution to 1920 then the picture is not that sharp and I get eye strain.
I also run a Sony Vaio Z11 with a 1080p display (1920x1080) and that is on a 13" display and use that all day every day without problems.
Is it the off pitch resolution that is causing the problem, ie 1.5 pixels per desktop pixel thats causing the eye strain?

Unfortunately, the problem wasn't due to the glossy quality of the screen as I had purchased a hi-res anti-glare. I will probably put an anti-glare film on the retina display if I make the purchase, as I also find glossiness to be annoying. I do find it very interesting that you can use your matte LED screen for so long without trouble. I wish I could have said the same, but 15 minutes on my returned 2011 LED matte Pro left me with headaches and strained eyes. From reading the other large thread, it seems that some people are just more sensitive to the LED. Thanks for the response though!

CS5 on MacBook Retina Display

I recently installed CS5 on the new MacBook Retina Display and the program components show up very pixelated or at a low quality resolution. Is there an available update for CS5 customers or is it necessary to purchase the new CS6? Also, is there an update available to make the new CS6 compatible with this version of the MacBook and does it come at a cost?

There is no Retina support in CS5, plain and simple. In CS6 only Photoshop and Illustrator got a Retina update. Only the latest CC has all programs with Retina support.

I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni and I was wondering what the best type would be to get? One with retina display etc

I'm looking at buying a MacBook Pro for uni next year and I'm not sure what type to get. I've heard different things about the retina display and that people only get it to edit photos etc but then people have said that it is quicker and makes the laptop lighter. I'm also unsure of how much storage I will need. If anyone can help that would be great!!

There are two screen displays available - Retina and non-Retina - and there's a world of difference between them. The Retina has non-user replaceable RAM and flash storage (well, the latter without voiding your warranty) and the non-Retina has user replaceable RAM and HD/SSD. And then, of course, there's the difference in the resolution of the screen itself... and a difference between the 13" and 15" screens (available in both 'flavors').
How much storage you need will depend on your needs.
I don't recommend the Retina models at this time - too many issues with tinting (on Samsung displays) and image retention (on LG displays).
So take a look at what the non-Retina machines have to offer - you can customize to your heart's content but remember that you can always upgrade the RAM and the hard drive in the non-Retina machines yourself.
My 2¢...

Web Images and App Store Icons are distorted in MacBook Retina Display

Recently, most of the icons on Mac App Store are distorted. I also noticed this on web images when browsing using Safari or Google Chrome. By the word "distorted", I mean that the image was not properly loaded, it contains pink lines and multiple blue and pink dots. I even experienced this on Apple website. When I click on "Shop", the images for Macs, iPod, iPhone, etc. are distorted or you can see some image ghosting. I haven't experienced this issue on other non-web applications like Office, Finder, etc.
Do you think it is a problem with my machine, or my internet connection? My internet connection seems fine when I use other laptop or computer. I even tried browsing the web around 3 AM in the morning when the connections is fast, but the issue is persistent for web browsers (Safari and Chrome) and for App Store as well.
I am using 13" rMBP, by the way.

I can now observe the issue on websites that contain large graphics like Flickr. On another laptop (Windows), some websites are not loaded properly because of my internet connection. For my Mac, I think it would be best to test Safari and Chrome using a stable internet connection before asking for technical support just to rule out a possible cause of the problem. Also, some websites that I view, aside from the distorted images, contain codes (maybe HTML codes). This means that the web page is not loaded properly, right?
My connection speed is 0.48 Mbps for download speed and 0.28 Mbps for upload. Is this too slow for Retina display?
I bought my MacBook Pro during the first week of November and did not encounter any graphics issue until now. I used to browse the internet and the web images seems to be loaded properly.
I do not encounter any graphics issues when using other non-web applications like Microsoft Office, Calendar, Photoshop, et al.

Photoshop & Macbook Retina display

Does Photoshop support the new Macbook Pro Retina display?

Chris Cox wrote:
If the user hasn't changed the OS scaling preferences, then Photoshop on a retina display will look just like Photoshop on a non-retina display.
It just won't have smooth text and UI edges that the increased resolution offers, and the image won't be using the full resolution of the display because the OS will be doubling all the pixels automatically.
MacOS on the new machines offers several choices for how to scale applications, including several choices for dealing with apps that don't know about high resolution displays.
So what your writing is Apple realizes there is a problem running programs written for older low resolution displays. So they have programmed into their OSX system options to scale up application windows to simulate running on a lower resolution device. Things will appear larger and less sharp then they actually are. Whoop de do. Why pay for a retina display and not use its resolution. Scaling windows up in size is like using 1/4 the retina pixel for every pixel you display Apple scales it to use 4 of the retina display pixels so the pixels is as large as it would be on a 100dpi display. Just buy a normal lower resolution and don't have the overhead required to scale windows up to simulate 100dpi to use a 226dpi display as a 100dpi device. Waste of money and resources. Applications like Photoshop need to be changed or run on a 100dpi display.
Photoshop has no problem with images and high resolution displays. Photoshop scales image windows content all the time. Its second nature for us to zoom images and pan about them and also change the window size on screen. The only problem there is is that Photoshop can not zoom its Dialogs and Paletts and bars Photoshop at best offeres one, two or three size options for these and they were designed for displays that have a resolution around 100DPI. On a 226 or 326 DPI display these areas will be so physically small you will have difficulty reading the small text and making out which small icon your seeing within these areas.
I find all versions of Photoshop with the exception of CS6 quite useable on my 133DPI displays. The GUI is on the small side. With a magnifying glass or software magnifying glass to see the GUI I would think Photoshop would be useable on a retina display using its native 226Dpi resolution. Its the GUI physical pixel size that is a problem not the 226DPI resolution. If you double the resolution of a display the size of an object becomes 1/4 the size it was on the lower resolution display. If the displays pixel count is not increased the display will be 1/4 the size of the lower resolution display. let get Physical

Macbook retina display won't sleep

Anyone else have this problem ? I don't know if its a macbook retina issue or mountain lion issue, just want to see how common it is. The screen won't turn off even after I set power preferences to turn off when idle for 2 min. When I try to force it to sleep from apple drop down menu, the screen turns black and freezes.

my laptop goes to sleep at night... fan stops making noise..
and I shut my laptop...
then I wake up and find my retina fan humming away and the computer is hot,
why is it running in it's sleep? when Im not using it??
i even have "put hard disk to sleep" after an hour...
why is it not??

When will the MacBook Retina Display shell case come?

I am going on a trip and I need a protection case to keep my laptop safe. I recently bought a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and I have not heard anything from Apple about the cases. When will the cases be out in the U.S?

I went to the Apple Store today and talked to the manager. He said he does not know, because the only indication of when is WHEN it arrives. Could be tomorrow (unlikely). Could be ten days. I tend to believe him because he has been right in the past. Just ask the store roughly when deliveries are made each day. Then call around that time.

InDesign appears pixelated on MacBook retina display

I have just installed InDesign CS6 ver8.0.1 on my new MacBook Pro. It appears all blurry and pixelated on the retina display. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

No.
CS6 is not optimized for retina displays. You'll need to move to
Creative Cloud for that.

Macbook Pro Retina Display hdmi sound out.

Hi everyone,
Does the MBP Retina have hdmi/sound out?
When I connected it to my HDTV the image was ok, but there wasn't any sound on my sound system. The only sound was through the mac's speaker's.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Cheers,

Go into the Sound Option in Sys Prefs and select the HDMI as the output source.

CS4 Not working for New Macbook retina display?

So I finally upgraded to the new MACBOOK PRO retina display I've been using CS4 since 2009 now since I transferred all of my files/data/etc into my new laptop for some odd reason I can't use my Photoshop it keeps saying
FATAL ERROR
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
Anyone know why? Do I need to finally upgrade to the latest CS? Before you shout stupid...I'm not that professionally educated on the way these things work.

Photoshop and most other adobe products never work right after transferring instead of reinstalling using the adobe installers, because the install of photoshop is not a tidy application like most mac applications and strews things all over the operating system, not just in the applications folder and transferring it from from backup or whatever can't possibly transfer all the bits and pieces that make up the photoshop cs4 install.
If your lucky you can download and install photoshop cs4 from this link and hopefully will that repair any of the missing items.
Download CS4 products
Otherwise, you'll have to run the adobe creative cloud cleaner, delete everything adobe on the hard drive and reinstall photoshop cs4
