Abandon Macbook - Retina display

Here is what happened.   My Macbook 13 "retina fell about 2 1/2 feet on the floor with the screen remains open.  There is light coming from the top monitor at right and bottom left.  Nothing else.   I plugged it in via HDMI and it gives the gray screen after the Apple and is sitting there.   It starts fine in safe mode.  I checked the disk, diagnostics, etc.   Given that everything was going well until it was abandoned, I must assume that this is the display.

After a few hours of pouting, I just accept that the screen can be gone, if there are a few troubleshooting that I'm missing.   However, I wish I could continue to use via HDMI and another monitor, without being in safe mode.  I guess it's the gray screen due to the fall.   In this case, it would be nice to get around the Retina display and hopefully start fine otherwise.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

If you see a good image on the monitor. So yes, it is the display OR the top connection of the screen that is the problem.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a final assessment.  It will be FREE!  If it's the connection, you will be very lucky (repair at low cost), if it is the display, not as lucky (costly repairs).

Good luck.

Ciao.

  • I think to buy a new MacBook to replace my MacBook pro mid-2010, which still runs but becomes slow.  They say the current MacBook pro without retina display (which I don't think I need) is an old system and may be obsolete soon - true?

    I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow.   I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

    Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.

    I too have a MBP 2010.  I installed an SSD and that increased performance.  Consider that as an option.

    You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP.  Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance.  With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.

  • Best case for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display

    I was wondering what the best case was for my purchase of a Macbook Pro 13 inch with the retina display. I am a student of the school and will walk to school with her in a compartment of my bag. It might be high everywhere, but he must be not so bulky that I also have school books. Any suggestion?

    If you are specifically looking for a shell, then I recommend the INCASE ones, just go to the apple store and get my things for Mac they have a feeling of fluidity buttered and are pleasant to the touch - as the Apple trackpad - it simply snaps on and snaps off when you want off the coast.  If you are looking for a Holster, I recommend the slim sleeve incase.  It has a soft interior for your mac are not destroyed (its aluminium-what worries you - you did you buy Care, haven't you?) and has a spot for the port of loading.

    I hope this helps!

  • MacBook Air 13 vs MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display

    Hello! I worked as a teacher in a dental school & I'm an orthodontist by Profession.

    So far, I was using a Windows laptop. Now, I am planning to buy a MacBook.

    I did some research and I found two best options:

    MacBook Air 13 inch or Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina display

    My work includes the drafting of documents, Internet browsing, electronic mail, preparation of presentations. We also regularly take pictures of our patients. I will also use the software of management of patients. Watch movies from time to time.

    Please help me to choose between the two options above.

    What configuration (RAM & storage) agree?

    I intend to keep the MacBook for next 5-6 years.

    I also read in some messages that some changes are in the pipeline for Macbook Air in this year.

    DR. VIKAS SEHGAL

    India

    There are always changes in the "pipeline" but we do not know what they are and we are discouraged from their review.

    If what you have described is your needs, an MBA and a MBP has them will satisfy.  As I see it, it's a matter of your preference of views respective (classic vs retina) and costs are related.  The MBA has long battery life and is lighter than the MBP, but maybe it's not important to you.

    Ciao.

    Addendum: as a general rule, install at least 8 GB of RAM and get as much storage as the bank account permits.  The processor speed is by far the less important material.

  • MacBook Pro with the Retina display problem

    I put my 2013-model MacBook with Retina display to sleep and tried to turn it on the next day, but he had no answer. I've loaded and kept cool for about 8 hours, but the battery would not get full and it won't always turn. The next day, I continued to load and left for a few hours then disconnected it and in the night I tried again and quite normally on and nothing seems to be wrong! Any idea on what and why it happened?

  • How to connect an old 23 "Cinema Display to a MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display

    I have an old 23 "Cinema HD Display, part number M9178LL/A and want to connect it to a recent MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display 2104.

    The Cinema Display has a power adapter and 3 USB, Firewire connectors and a DVI (think that's what it's called).

    The MacBook Pro has USB, Thunderbolt, and HDMI ports.  I have a crush on Firewire adapter, but I don't know what I need to plug the DVI or if it will work.

    I also remember that years ago Apple sold "docks", so that you can use your laptop with a keyboard and a standard monitor.  Is this always the case?

    If anyone can help?

    Thank you very much.

    Adapt you the Thunderbolt computer monitor DVI connection (use a Mini DisplayPort adapter) or HDMI port. USB and FireWire connections are only needed if you plan to use the screen as a hub.

    Don't drink near him.  A spill will ruin the MBP and not be covered by the warranty.

  • MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display

    Hello world. I use a MacBook Pro 13 with the Retina display. I recently downloaded some of my photos to iCloud and decided to delete all icloud and other devices (including my MacBook) due to the space management. It shows again that I ve 1.95 GB of photos on the disk utility when in fact, I can't find all the photos. Please, where are they? I need to remove all these photos. Thank you very much

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself. If you have followed the bad advice to disable snapshots the running a shell command, you may have ended up with a large amount of data in the other category. Ask for instructions in this case.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you use an older version of the OS, use GP.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS or GP can not see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click anywhere in the row of the text below on this page to select it, and then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    For ODS:

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    For PMS:

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.
