New Retina 13" Macbook Pro cannot enable Lighting & Shadows

[Wastedyuthe]

Getting much better SL performance with my new Retina 13" Macbook Pro compared to my Macbook Air, however I cannot enable Lighting & Shadows, Ambient Occlusion, or Depth Of Field settings.  All three are greyed out on High setting (whereas on the Macbook Air, L&S would be available and when ticked, the next would be etc).  If I try and move from High to Ultra, the app crashes with an error message ERROR: llrender/llrendertarget.cpp(134) : addColorAttachment: Too many color attachments!

My OS is updated to the latest version.  Is there anything I can do?

Looks like that MacBook has Intel HD 4000 built-in graphics, which is fine for what it was designed for (streaming video) but doesn't have the 3D calculation ability necessary to run advanced SL graphics.

Well my 2 year old Macbook Air, which is far less capable, still managed to have those options be enabled as i said. So i know the new Macbook Pro would definitely cope with them

SL should run fine on your MacBook Pro, UNLESS you are using wireless. Make sure you use a regular Ethernet cable. Also check that you told your Mac to allow SL as an approved program. In Mountain Lion, go to your preferences > security > allow apps from anywhere (not just the apple apps and approved apple apps).

Do a clean reinstall of the viewer once you went throuh all that. SL should be hummlng happy tunes if you did it all right. :smileywink:

Sorry, but did you read my post? Its a new Macbook Pro so its a clean install anyway. And yes the allow apps from anywhere option must be selected otherwise it wouldn't have been able to install in the first place. Neither of those have anything to do with the issue of being unable to enable the 3 graphics options when my 2 year old less powerful Macbook Air could.

OK, I didn't read your post. Go fix it yourself. Sorry I was trying a suggestion.
