Safari graphical user interface poor quality on Macbook Pro Retina

I’ve noticed that the Safari graphical user interface quality is not good on my Macbook Pro Retina display. Although it has been optimized for Retina displays I keep seeing strange artifacts or glitches from time to time, while this one is persistent, check out the dark stripe behind the bookmarks toolbar : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pa7zizpbi7vdx41/Screen%20Shot%202013-04-21%20at%2012.5 6.11%20PM.png (if the link doesn’t open on click just do the right click - open in new tab) There are also same “spots” on toolbar buttons (bookmark folders) as well, but they are a bit harder to discern.
I don’t think it is a graphic card or display issue since almost all of retina-ready apps work just fine (I have replaced my LG with a Samsung screen, btw).
I wonder does anybody have the same experience with Safari? And if so, has anyone managed to solve the issue?

Try creating a brand new account (in System Preferences -> Users & Groups) and test there.
Tried. The same.
I don't actually have a retina machine, but I see no reason for this to be related to the fact that you have a retina MBP. Unless you have information that suggests it is present on other similar machines...?
At first I thought that it was just on the Retina, but then I really looked into my external monitor and saw it — looking at it right now. It seems to me that when Always show tab bar is ON the space between Bookmarks bar and the tab is sloppy sliced.
The hDPI screen reveals the graphic irregularities from regular DPI screens without a problem.
The reason I posted this here is because I saw many people are having glitches, artifacts and flickers with Safari (on Retina).

FaceTime Camera Images Look Poor on New Macbook Pro Retina Models

I received my new 2012 Macbook Pro Retina display model yesterday. When doing Facetime last night, others on the other end were commenting how poor the image coming from my end looked. Then I tried it on my iphone 4S and it was amazing how much better the picture of me looked on the phone versus the macbook. Today, I went to the Apple store to compare my new computer to the Retina display models on the display. Their camera images honestly didn't look much better than what I have on mine (but for example, the new Macbook Air's images look much more realistic). Why is this? How can the HD Facetime camera in the Macbook Pro produce less realistic images than the lower resolution iPhone 4S or Ipad cameras? Any help or insight you could share would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jason

Thanks for the update, Jason.

.... Unfortunately, the new laptop has the same issue...
Of course what is seen on Retina versus non-Retina display will be different. That is a different issue from the video quality your video contacts experience. However, the fact that you see the same problems at your home on a second new Mac means you will need to do some more extensive troubleshooting involving another trip to the Apple Store.
Rather than merely looking at displays of the live camera, I suggest you compare how the FaceTime video looks when received on your iPhone while in the Apple Store. If necessary, you should test your new Mac plus some of the Store models, too. Taking your new Mac & iPhone back the the Apple Store and connecting there will have the added benefit of eliminating possible internet connection issues at your location.
At the Store, you can compare how your new Mac's video transmissions (iChat, FaceTime, etc.) and video from some Store display cameras look on your iPhone as a receiving device. If all are "bad" on your iPhone, you can also compare video transmissions received on one of the Store's devices to be sure it sees the same video problem as your iPhone.
While connected via wi-fi in the Apple Store, if the FaceTime video transmissions from your new Retina MacBook Pro (RMBP) to your iPhone is lower quality from that of the Apple Store's RMBP FaceTime to your iPhone, it seems to me that the Geniuses should determine whether your new RMBP needs service or (highly unlikely) is a second "bad" Mac that should be exchanged for a RMBP that works properly. This time, test the fix BEFORE you take it home again.
If, every RMBP you test in the Apple Store looks worse than the video sent from all other devices, you are most likely correct that some software needs to be updated for video quality.
All this testing may take some time, so plan ahead. Perhaps you want to make a Genius appointment. However, although the Geniuses were unable to give a definitive answer other than swapping RMBPs during your last visit, they may have since found an official answer to your questions.

Mac OSX 10.7.4

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5 - crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Also crashes when quitting application. Anybody any ideas?

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

Video graphics break up + hidden screen text - Macbook Pro Retina

I can't believe it - my brand-new Macbook Pro and I've got a graphics card error!
I've got blocks of screen bleeding into each other. Not just for a few seconds on refresh (that has been happening), but hard...
At the moment, I'm looking at gmail running. I'm sending a message. The background has bled across the screen in a 10cm x 10cm block. If I click on one of the areas below, it appears, but the square bleed overlay remains.
Looking in the system log, I can see these messages occur two or three times:
CGContextClipToRect: invalid content 0x0
Safari: _GetISImageRefFromIconRefInternal: could not reain image ref 0x25b1009 (err=-2500)
There's also one message:
Safari: Excpetion writing metadata: CoreData could not fulfill a fault for '0x7f878f222b60 <x-coredate:/8F950213-916F-402E-A760-2819703F7
When I refresh the screen it goes away again.
Similarly, when running facbook, the text will disappear. For example:
I'll type:
This is a line of typing
I'll only see:
this is
A few seconds later, it'll jump and fill it in and I'll see:
This is a line of typing

nadia_d,
You have a new MBP you have 14 days to return/exchange, 90 days of free phone support, as well as 1 year at the store. Take advantage of this.

Thunderbolt ethernet en3 interface not appearing on MacBook Pro Retina

2012 retina MBP, with a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Fully up to date, including this week's Thunderbolt firmware update. Plug the Thunderbolt ethernet adapter into any port -- the kernel sort of sees it, but nothing ever provides a network interface.
Infuriatingly, I got it to work once after weeks of failure, but have never been to reproduce that fleeting success.
I've seen and tried the comments in three seemingly-relevant threads:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19550825
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21335473
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17909404
Like other reporters of similar problems, it's visible just fine in the system info:
Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter:
Vendor Name:    Apple Inc.
Device Name:    Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Vendor ID:    0x1
Device ID:    0x8003
Device Revision:    0x1
UID:    0x000100020014E9B0
Apple Serial Number:    DTN22060026DWKHAR
Route String:    3
Firmware Version:    5.5
Port:
Status:    Device connected
Link Status:    0x2
Port Micro Firmware Version:    0.0.8
It's getting power, at least, because the switch link light comes on when a cable's plugged in.
And the kernel recognises it in either Thunderbolt port, at least to some degree:
IOThunderboltSwitch(0x0)::listenerCallback - Thunderbolt HPD packet for route = 0x0 port = 1 unplug = 0
[ PCI configuration begin ]
PCI configuration changed (bridge=58 device=5 cardbus=0)
[ PCI configuration end, bridges 14 devices 16 ]
But no driver ever gets loaded, and the en3 device never appears.
I've tried installing AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext manually, which does nothing apparent. Unloading and reloading produces:
AppleBCM5701Ethernet:     ffff     ffff getAdapterInfo - Vendor is unknown
AppleBCM5701Ethernet:        0        0 start - getAdapterInfo failed, giving up
It's unclear if any of that is relevant or related to this adapter.
I've borrowed another physical adapter and tried that; it gives the same result.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21335473 suggests creating a new Network Location. When I do that, the Thunderbolt Ethernet device (which does exist in my "Automatic" location) doesn't even appear in the new location. Clicking the [+] does not list it as an option to add.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17909404 suggests resetting the SMC, which I've done in theory -- although I can find no documented way to know that the SMC reset actually occurred. Certainly there was no indication that I could see. So I'm not convinced that it did anything at all.
I'm out of ideas. This seems to me much more likely to be a software issue than hardware, at this point. Almost like it just can't figure out which driver it needs to load.
I humbly throw myself upon your mercy and wisdom.

I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
or
Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

Severe Safari graphical glitches MacBook Pro Retina 15"

Hello. I have been having these annoying glitches since the day I bought my MacBook Pro Retina 15" on December 2012. These are not those almost invisible glitches present on the support topics currently. They are incredibly large, sometimes filling an entire webpage with a blank rectangle or parts from other pages (even tabs that were already closed).
I am absolutelly sure this is something to do with the crappy Intel HD Graphics 4000 board, because these gliches only occur while I am with the "Automatic graphics switching" option selected.
I have also noted this only happens on websites that use a lot of javascript animations.
Let's put this in topics:
The problem happens when:
Using automatic graphics switching (using Intel HD Graphics Board)
Using Safari 6.0.2 and Mac OS 10.8.2
Browsing websites with heavy javascript animations
The problem disappears when:
NOT using graphics switching (using Nvidia board)
Using any other browsers (tried Chrome and Firefox)
What I have tried and did not fix my problem
Fixing permissions
Resetting the SMC
Here are some examples:
And now some examples with the graphics switching off (Using the Nvidia board)
Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you for reading!

Apple - Feedback
Have seen similar lines and artifacts on Safari on my 13" MBP. It's a software bug and based on your additional findings, linked to bad drivers for the Intel 4000 chipset. File your findings with Apple on that Feedback page for your respective system. Make sure you provide all the info like you did here. Someone will eventually see it and add it to the engineering things to fix if it hasn't already been addressed in the soon to be released 10.8.3 build.

Impossible to boot MacBook Pro Retina ! impossible to start in single user mode, Openfirmware password set, but safari works!

I have got a Macbook pro retina.
I have done 2 partitions on the SSD drive. 1 for the OS and 1 for the user (with a kind of ln -s /Home/myself /Volume/Part2/myself
I was watching a movie (with VLC) in full screen for a while and I wanted to escape. Impossible, and impossible to reboot.
When I start, I have a directory with a question mark.
I have a Open firmware passwords set (that I remember).
I cannot reset PRAM. (I can not change the RAM amount inside the commuter as this is a retina model)
I cannot start in verbose mode.
I can choose a disk to boot. I see only the OS drive and not the user partition, and no 'recovery partition'. It seems that i need to do a fsck -yff on the user partition but how ?
I can start the OS partition, and i can choose 'guess' or 'myself'. If i choose myself, I have an error message :'there is a error, the session can not start'. If I start with the guess account, I restart, and then I can browse the internet with safari (this is how I am writing this text!)
=> How can i repair the partition ? (open a terminal, boot in single user mode ...?)
best regards.

Actually, the recovery partition was there, but was not shown as my user partition. I have seen that reseting the PRAM and changing the ram could remove the open firemware password. So i have turn the computer on until the battery was empty. Then I boot about 20 times, and unplug the power supply after few seconds at different step of the booting pricess. At last, the screen default resolution when booting changed, I undertood that i succeeded, and I was able to enter.
Then I boot in single user mode, removed the open firmware password, activated the root user, and everything was fine now !

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

How to create a form which uses graphical user interfaces(GUI) features.

i'm working as a administrator in a private college..i have some problem..
how to create a student registration form that uses most of the graphical user interfaces(GUI) features. The form should consist of the following features:- Label, Button, Check box, Radio Button, List, Panel and Layout. The GUI features must be functional.
how to write that programme in JAVA ?
please help me to get the code..

So are you saying that this person is legitamately asking for someone to write up this student registration form, for use in some sort of production student registration application? Ok, if so, I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion. But, to me it sounds like a student hit the "Using Swing" chapter in the text and was given the following assignment:
For this assignment you are working as an administrator in a private college and you need to solve the following problem:
You need to create a student registration form that uses most of the graphical user interfaces(GUI) features. The form should consist of the following features:- Label, Button, Check box, Radio Button, List, Panel and Layout. The GUI features must be functional.
You have two weeks.
Now, I suppose that I could be wrong, if so, I apologize and go with the previous poster that said ask a comp sci student to do this for you.

HT1338 macbook pro retina webcam poor quality

I am very happy with my MacBook Pro Retina Display.
However, the webcan produces very poor image quality, feels like out of focus. (using facetime, imessage, skype, all software the same)
I went back to my Macbook pro 2011 version, the same 720p webcam, produces very clear picture.
I read quite a few people having this issues but looks no firm answer. I hope its a software issue.
I wonder if Apple is looking into this problem.
Thanks

Yes, I have recently noticed the exact same issue. RMBP has very poor webcam quality and is certainly not 720p (HD) display.
I have compared it to my desktop webcam, a logitech (HD720p camera) and images were by far much more superior for my logitech webcam.
I hope they do a software fix on the cameras.

Changed settings cant access graphical user interface

I accidentally changed a setting on my graphical user interface. Not sure which one. I think it had to do with a subnet or something. Any way when i enter the http://192.168.1.254/ to access the graphical user interface nohing comes up it says unable to display. . Ita definitely because of this setting i changedm i even tryed a restore settings to the day before and its still not letting me on the graphical user interface. Please help

Hi Thank you for posting!
Can you please clarify what "interface" your question is about? If it your email or router settings?
Thanks,

Graphical user interface

Dear all
                i am trying to build a graphical user interface using labview 7.1 but i am new to it and finding difficulties.
                 my first window should contain two push buttons A and B(like ac machine, dc machine) when a user click on any of this button
                the next window should show another push buttons C and D,and this button should link to some VIs which should start running   by   clicking any of those two buttons
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help

This is a very general question, but as a general answer, different screen are commonly handled by using different pages on a tab control and programmatically switching between them (you hide the tabs themselves) or by using different VIs. Monitoring for user interaction is done by using an event structure which will allow you to execute code when a button has been pressed. There are quite a few examples in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) and some templates (File>>New) for how to do this.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
Try to take over the world!

Graphical User Interface Library

I begin to develop a graphical user interface (which can be an applet or an application) whose main purpose is to display graph with nodes. I would like to use a powerfull graphical user interface library (even not free) but I don't know any. Someone's got an idea ?

Good god my writing is awfu! edit:
When something slows down a programme then in most cases algorithms are the source for the lag, try using better designed algorithms using less iterative content if you want some fast programmes.
Anyways concerning portablility and avalability on the internet there is always a price you pay and in most cases the price is speed.
Another concern is when using third-party libraries with Applets most users will have to download these to run your Applet, which of course takes it's time.
Maybe you want to think about your position against AWT and Swing - I don't want to promote them in any way - but speaking of applets there is nothing that I know could circumvent additional downloads.

Is my 3GS graphical user interface the same as iPhone 4?

I have a 3GS iPhone and am using Version 4.0.2 (8A400) of the operating system.
Is the graphical user interface (GUI) on my phone the same GUI that you see on iPhone 4? Thanks.

Does anyone know whether apple is developing a new UI for any iphone firmware updates? I
Apple hasn't announced plans for a "new UI" and no one here knows anything beyond what Apple officially announces. Any Apple employes who participate here are bound by nondisclosure agreements. Also, posting rumors or speculation about Apple policies and plans is prohibited by the forum Terms of Use.
That said, I can't think of any reason why Apple would want to develop an entire new UI for the iOS. It's safe to say it's been a resounding success as it is.
