with the new Mac Book Pro Retina (latest software updates) I can't play within iTunes any videos / previews. "Missing HCDP support of the display" stated, but no external monitor attached. ReInstalled everything, still the same issue. I can hear the sound, but can't see any picture and the computer freezes for a couple of minutes.

I have a unibody macbook connect to Apple LED cinema display, and using VIsta to play Blu-Ray disc using FastMac external Slim drive and PowerDVD, but cannot play content due to HDCP non-compliant display. I have heard so many people said LED can support HDCP through DisplayPort, but appear to be not the case. Using AnyDVD HD can by-pass this, but that is really not the ideal solution for me. Anyone can get Blu-ray to play on Vista on a LED display?

How many external displays dose the Retina MBP support? I have herd conflicting information about this, an apple store employee told me that it could support 2 thunderbolt displays while simultaneously running a HDMI connected display (witch would be awesome if true) but I am extremely skeptical, that seems like to much for one GPU.

Finally took the plunge tonight and installed Windows 7 on a partition on my new Retina MBP. Everything's beautiful, runs fine... after playing around in native 2880x1800 for a while, I decided to see how this gorgeous screen would look at exactly 1/2 its native resolution. Open display properties... screen resolution... There is no option in either the windows native resolution pane or the nVidia Control Center to switch resolution to exactly 1440x900. Closest is 1600x900, which of course is the wrong aspect ratio.Â
I kept running games in OS X at 1440x900 and it would render all interpolated and blurry, and I thought that was simply Apple's funky scaling for the Retina display... but something's seriously wrong if I can't run a 2880x1800 screen at 1440x900. Of course, I can always define a custom resolution, but I'm scared to do that... I have no idea why 1440x900 isn't an option and I don't want to experiment on my brand new $2,200 toy.Â

My display preferences don't allow me to choose "looks like 1680x1050" or "1920x1200". Instead the first three scale options, "larger text" to "best" do nothing. Where as the last two are "looks like 960x600" and "looks like 1440x900".

The battery indicator on the top menu bar on my other MBP's gives 3 selectable options for display: Icon Only, Percentage, and Time Remaining. My new MBP retina only has 'Icon' and 'Percentage'. You can still see time remaining by clicking on the battery icon manually.Â
Applecare said "they must have removed it for that new version of the MBP, you could always try reinstalling the O/S from scratch just to be sure".Â
Under Energy Saver the only option is to 'show battery status' on the top bar.Â
iPhoto: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto 9.1.5 and OS X Lion However, the document is no longer available. So what can I do now? I've migrated files from my mother's MacBook Pro with Snowleopard to her new iMac with Lion. So far, it's been buggy as heck. The missing iPhoto library is the tip of the iceberg.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy OSX is Lion, (10.7.4) but the Quicktime support for MPEG-2 format is missing. When I look in the Quicktime system library there is QuicktimeMPEG.component & QuicktimeMPEG4.component, but no QuicktimeMPEG2.component. So, I presume its not there. How do I fix this? Do I have to re-install something? I had Quicktime 10.1 on my system, but have now also installed Quicktime 7.6.6. I need to work with some MPEG-2 videos & convert them to MPEG-4 format. I gather I can do this with MPEG Streamclip, but not if MPEG-2 support is missing!

How do software that aren't retina compatible yet look on the MBP Retina Display? From my own experience as a developer when using regular sized images and resolutions on the iPhone 4, they come out as blurry. I was thinking perhaps the same thing will occur if the software isn't retina compatible? I e 2x in GUI size and scaled down?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a relatively new 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5 MacBook Air, purchased in August of last year. Just recently it started giving me the HDCP error when I tried to play HD TV shows downloaded from iTunes. Given the capability of the display (1440 x 900) this shouldn't be a problem and like I said, I've never had this issue until very recently. I have tried downloading both 720p and 1080p versions of the videos and neither will play for more than a few seconds before the warning appears. Â
I am not plugging my MacBook Air into an external display. In fact, when I play the videos on my Apple TV v2 (both streaming from my machine and via iCloud directly) they play just fine. I have the lastest EFI firmware installed on my machine as well as all other software updates. I have checked to make sure there are not any partial downloads that could be causing a problem. The error also appears if I try to open the content with Quicktime. Â

I had decided to get a retina MacBook Pro earlier, but I have grown tired of never finding them in the stores. Now I am wondering if the non retina would be the best way to go.

Where do we stand on that whole issue, Mac OSX is still not HDCP compatible, software and hardware wise?
I have add a pc for HTPC for more than 2 years, and I have always been able to play bluray on it... I am thinking of switching to mac to do that... either putting the mac pro close enough to the TV or buying a mac mini to do the job...
I already own a bluray player... thinking of buying an external USB case 5.25" or maybe e-stata and to use it that way to play blurays... (hollywood blurays...)
I am aware that Sony (PS3) encodes their signal with "HDCP" and the older cinema displays are not able to read that as a direct signal into the monitor (the new ones are, but thats not what I have. I bought mine with my PowerMac G5 days before they switched to the Intel based Mac Pro's). My question to all of you is is there any kind of converter box or unit I can purchase that would let my 20" ACD display a picture encoded with Sony's "HDCP" signal?

I have a LG BDRW drive in a 5.25" external caddy. When I try to play a Blu Ray using the bundled CyberLink PowerDVD HD software it says I dont have a HDCP display so it asks me to run a 'BD advisor' tool for more info.
That tells me that both the ATI 4850 card AND the display are not HDCP compliant. I know they must be so whats going on!?
I clicked the little jellybean thing on the top right, and it only makes the menubar appear and disappear, but the sidebar is still gone.i don't have a little dot on the left hand side so i have nothing to drag. i checked my finder preferences and the folders are still checked.but even after all that... still no side bar.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have seen a few videos about mastering and gave it a try myself. It can be done by clicking the master tab, then going to the Input 1-2 column setting and then clicking setting - mastering, etc.When I first did this a few weeks ago, there were many options such as hip hop mastering, electronic mastering, etc.Now, when I do so, I have different - much less enticing options and have no idea where the good ones went.
Over the last few days I've noticed a problem with missing icons. It seems to mainly effect icons in the Trash but I have one or two missing icons for videos and apps within the Finder and on the Desktop. The icon is completely gone - I have to click on the filename to select it. Quicklook works OK (for video).
I can't think of anything I've installed that would have done it except Onyx, but I haven't run that in weeks. I did repair permissions a few days ago but I doubt that could break this. It persists after a reboot. I can't get it to happen on command, it just randomly occurs. Creating a New Folder always works OK.
It seems you can't upgrade the memory after purchase on the new MBP w/ retina display.Â
SO my question is, is it worth the $180 extra to get 16GB of ram rather than 8GB??
I want to get it ASAP, is there a better chance to get it in store or are they just already out of the Retina´s?

I'm looking to buy a new retina display MacBook pro. My question is that should I get the 2.3 GHz model or the 2.6 GHz model? I will be doing lots of video editing with final cut pro and playing some games Such as left 4 dead 2, diablo 3, and more. Will the 256 GB SSD be enough to hold All of my applications and games? I plan on getting an external hard drive for all the video files, so that won't be a problem. Also, does the 2.6 GHz processor really all that much better than the 2.3 GHz? If I end up getting the high end I probably won't upgrade the RAM, but if I got the 2.3 GHz model, I would for sure just to be safe. My biggest concern is the cost of the 2.6 GHz. I would like to get it sooner than later so that's why I would opt for the 2.3 GHz. Since I do qualify for the student discount, I get $200 off. But even then, the 2.6 GHz is still a lot of money. At this point I can only afford.The base model retina MacBook pro.

I finally got my graduation money to buy the macbook pro I want. It's the low end pro, 2.3ghz with retina display. ($2200) I checked online and they say there is a 3-4 week before the item even gets shipped. I also tried calling me local apple store twice and got 2 different responses, the first one said they got a shipment earlier today but they quickly sold out nearly an hour later, and the second specialist told me I should just order it online.

Ivy Bridge, just like Sandy Bridge, supports RAM upgrades all the way to 32 GB. However, Apple seems to be limiting this to 16 GB. Websites like Crucial will sell you a 32GB RAM package for the same price as Apple offers you a 16GB ram upgrade. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Will the Retina MacBook Pro be able to upgrade the RAM separately say after a year or so of owning it? I have heard that the RAM is soldered to the board, but there are also indications that there is an upgrade tab on the top right-hand corner of the RAM card location.
