you can do it via network sharing. you need another laptop with with a cd drive bay and connected to same wireless network. A is ur mac; B is the another laptop.

Copy the disc content to B's public folder, then access to the B's public folder using ur mac ( A ). make sure it's dmg. file yo

So far no issue on my MBPR late 2012 except on the fan roaring at random times ( on window 7 now 24/7 due to software incompatibility )

But in Mac OS X it run quiet and a beast. just having some little problem with my screen. =X

my screen issue just a a quick glism like 0.5 second at very random. only happen once in the blue moon. now don't have anymore. haven't resolve it yet. =X

Any idea what causes this? or is the connector lose?

Lads i'm using MBPR Late 2012 running 24/7. Past few weeks my wireless was working fine.

It stated on last week if not mistaken. I start to have network problem whereby i am connected to wireless but has no internet access.

I was on my upstair living room. When i go to the study room which where the router located it work perfectly well. And of course the speed is tremendously fast. now in the living room its slowing down.

PS: my laptop have been in that position with wireless plug in all the time and only facing issues now.

Solutions anyone?

And if i were to move the location of the modem it will take very much work as all the phone line is there.

I thought of using this

Range Extender

or

Wifi USB Range

or

Wifi USB extender 2

Solutions anyone?

Frankly mac is way more user friendly than window. It's a simplify version. if you not into computing adn constant troubleshoot go for mac

1 apple last longer than average laptop
2 apple expensive is because of inside out especially Retina. You will not judge how expensive is the hardware or why is it so expensive unless you own one. I used to judge until the day i own one
3 Bootcamp existence because mac run own OS and some people find their software ain't mac compatible so they use bootcamp or parallel dekstop to use their desire software.
4 Retina is one of the kind of laptop. Just like Razer laptop and other normal gaming laptop.

If you really look into how retina and why is it design such a way you won'y complain. you will say how much you love it

Guys Do you all know where got sells the mac book pro retina display screwdriver set?

Thought of opening the rear to clear the dust. Gaming on my mac a bit laggy now. Suspect a lot of duct stuck inside.

Guys i wanna ask my MBP Retina Late 2012 currently running window 7 on boot camp and it constanly heat up for no reason.

Even i'm just running google chrome and itune only still heat up pretty every time.

but in OS X Maverick its fine.

Any idea why?

So is entirely normal of my mac to react that way? i thought of taking it to service centre to check is it dust clock inside

I think it's some sort of graphic card or laptop hardware glitch.

I don't see that now at all after frequent nvidia and other software update.

mate i was refering to the screen.

for the fan i do have it on mac but not on window as i run window 24/7 on my mac now as some incompatibility. Nevertheless i still hear my mac roaring quite loud ( on window )

i mean now i run Window 7 Professional 64bit on my MBP Retina late 2013 now due to some software incompatibility. Sometime i only run google chrome and iTunes. i can hear my mac fan is roaring all the time and get hot from time to time.

When my mac book reach 4th month old and i have ady ditched the cover whatsoever. I rather have my mac book to be naked because all those cover etc make my mac even more heavy.

Mine scratch damage on my mac is way worse than urs. my mac is only 9 month old now

A heads up: one of the advantage of having naked MBP and being mobile all the time make you more careful than usual with casing to prevent from scratch.

your statement a bit unclear u mind make it clear?

I think probably malaysia only have apple reseller not apple store. Nearest apple store from malaysia is Singapore

i'm using MBPR Late 2012 and it's VERY normal i would say. mine is ady 2 years old. performance for MBPR seems to be this way for this thing profile!

chaps how much does it cost to replace one of the fan in my rmbp late 2012. Yesterday i was holding my macbook and happen to grad it at the fan area and i heard the fan stop spinning. Then i press it again. Then the fan spin like a lambo going from 0-100 in 2.9 seconds.

Do any of you knows people do service rbmp at reasonable price?

any idea how much it might cost?

Been using my RMBP for 2 years now mostly in window 7 boot camp but do occasionally go into OS X.

My usage during last 2 years of college: Rendering with Photoshop & lumion; Google Sketch Up 3D modelling & AutoCad 2D Drafting. all these done in 36 hours non stop before. Never face any issue at all. Just that now need to service the fan suspect dust clot up to my fan make the fan sound more audible.

If your usage is not as intense as me, then you will be fine. make sure ur room and ur mbp is well ventilation. Elevate ur mbp using books or boxes or get those laptop stand so that it can get better ventilation instead of putting in the flat surface.
