Apple developer - Glossy/Matte

I know this has been asked a million times and I apologize as I feel this may be a slightly different slant.
I am about to purchase a new 17in Macbook Pro. I have a 15 with the matte display and want to get the glossy this time around.
This machine will be used primarily for writing code. Has anyone had problems with the glossy display when writing code or during long sessions of composing documents?
Thanks for the feedback.

Me personally, I prefer the anti-glare screen. I got my 2008 MBP with the anti-glare, was sad when Apple removed the option, and am glad that Apple has brought it back. In general if you can control the room lighting, you can "get by" with the glossy display. Angle your display or lamps to reduce reflection. But there are a few cases where I'm at a meeting, not at home, so not in control of the lights or my seating arrangement, and I'm "saved" by the anti-glare.
What may be difficult is the anti-glare is only available with the higher-res display. Font size may need some tweaking to make it easier to read your documents. Usually not a big deal with documents but sometimes an issue with code editors, which often use smaller fonts.

  • Questions about the Apple Developer Enterprise Program

    Hi there,
    i got some questions about the Apple Developer Enterprise Program:
    - is there a way a company can create their own "AppStore" with only the APPs the employees should use?
    - when I developed the enterprise app are the install files on a apple hosted server or do i need my own infrastructure to distribute my app?
    Thanks in advance for answers!

  • I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

    I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

    I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not?  Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

  • Hi can i buy an apple developer account with gift cards?

    Hello i want to subscribe to the apple developer program but i dont have a credit card, and i have a few gift cards from my birthday, can i buy an apple developer account with those?

    Allow me to expand on this question.
    Will Apple allow me to pay the developer program subscription fee with a gift card, but use a credit card for my account verification?

  • How do i download apple developer apps, specifically xcode

    Hello,
    I am trying to download a software developer's application called xcode (version 5) to a PC so that I can run it using  OS X in a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box should work) and learn how to develop apps for iphones.   This is a free apple application.  The problem I am having is that I cannot find a download link or button.   Yes, I have an apple id and I also am registered as an apple developer.  I have tried using firefox 26.0 and IE 9.  The OS on the PC from where I am attempting to download is windows vista basic 32 bit.
    First, I went to http://store.apple.com/us  and typed xcode in the search bar at the upper right of the screen.  I did not see a link for logging in anywhere.
    That search took me here:  https://developer.apple.com/technologies/ and I see "download xcode" in the left panel.
    I click it and it takes me here:   https://developer.apple.com/xcode/    It says "Download Xcode 5 for free."   Great, that's what I want.  What do I click on to do it?   I see no dowload link so I clicked on the Downloading and Installation FAQs  link and it took me here:   https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/
    Now I see "The latest version of Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store.  " ok lets click there ... and guess what?  I'm back to square one again!!!     https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12
    I also tried using itunes.   That only showed xcode BOOKS!
    Can't somebody please explain to me the thought process in using the apple website correctly?   This seems to be the most convoluted and user-unfriendly site I've ever been on.   Full to the brim with marketing and promos but very little to guide the user.   I have an apple id and I did register as a member of the iOS Developer Program.  I am a software engineer with 15+ years experience... not a rookie to download and use software!  What am I missing here?
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    I found the answer which someone posted for an earlier version of xcode.  Apparently, going to the "app store" per the instructions, will not work.
    Instead, use the link below to the developer downloads page, click on the little white right arrow next to the app and it will expand.  The download link (not obvious) is a very small blue link over to the right.   Tricky, apple, tricky.

  • I downloaded OS X Lion Server using my apple developer account? Will it stay after my enrolment is over?

    The title says it all. I downloaded OS X Lion Server using my apple developer account? Will it stay after my 1 year enrolment is over? I basicaly signed in and redeemed a code to download OS X Lion Server. It is now in my purchased list in the Mac App Store. But I got it by redeeming a code that I got through being an Apple Mac Developer. I wanted to know if I decided not to pay $99 next year to renew my enrolment, will I still be able to keep OS X Lion Server in my purchased list in the Mac App Store. When I click on More Apps by Apple in the Mac App Store, it takes me to the page with all their apps. OS X Lion Server says it is installed. But I want to know if it will still be in the purchased menu after the enrolment is finished and not renewed.

    I am a new Mac Developer. I checked the page you gave me and I think it's more to do with topics about programming and using the developer tools and pre-release software. I don't think my question relates to any of the topics there. OS X Lion Server has already been released and is available for the public. I was planning on buying it. But before I did that I wanted to become a developer. So I enrolled in the Mac Developer program and I went to download OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2 when I realized that I could also download the already released OS X Lion Server which was available for $50. So instead of buying it from the Mac App Store, I just got the redemption code from the Mac Developer Center and downloaded it free of charge (I did pay the $99 to be a Mac Developer though). Now it has been added to the purchased list in the Mac App Store and when I click the More Apps by Apple button in the Mac App Store, it takes me to the page with all Apple apps. And now on that page it says that OS X Lion Server has been installed. I am just wandering if once my enrollment is over next year April, and I decide not to renew my enrolment, will I still be able to have the OS X Lion Server in my list of purchased apps and still be able to re-download it? Sorry if this is too long, but I am trying to be as clear as possible. Sometimes when I ask questions, I wait a whole day and go back there, only to find out that they didn't understand what I meant. Thank you .

  • FaceTime HD webcam not working correctly ONLY in Apple-developed applications?

    My sister just bought a refurbished 13" MacBook Pro, the one shown here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD313LL/A
    We've run into a very strange issue, and I hope someone here is able to help.
    The built-in camera is "flickering," but it appears to only be happening in applications made by Apple, or at least ones preinstalled on the computer.  The applications affected that I have tested are: iMovie, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and iChat.  It's not really a "flicker," per se, but large horizontal chunks of the video will displace and often show up as green -- it all moves very rapidly -- very hard to explain, but it is definitely not normal behavior.
    iChat takes the issue a step further: the camera preview in iChat Preferences shows nothing but a blank screen.
    The camera works flawlessly in Skype, and also in web browers thorugh Adobe Flash. So, I am very certain this is not a hardware issue.  It also worked perfectly during the setup walkthrough when the computer was first turned on and it had her take a photo for her user account.
    I've tried resetting application preferences by deleting the preference files, resetting PRAM and SMC, shutting down/restarting the computer, and I've applied all possible Software Updates.  System Information (formerly System Profiler) shows the camera under USB, so the computer is recognizing it.  Finally, we called Apple and they said to reinstall OS X, which my sister just did. The problem's still there.  It wasn't a "clean" install though, because all of her files and preferences were kept in-tact, so maybe that is why.
    I don't know what else to do. I've tried researching this issue, but it seems more people have problems with the camera in non-Apple/third-party apps, whereas our problem is just with Apple-developed apps.
    I'm hoping someone else may have had this same problem and was able to fix it. Or, maybe someone knows something else I can try.  As a last resort, we'll take it to the Apple Store.

    Spinnn: We ended up taking it to an Apple store. They couldn't figure it out. The Geniuses there had never encountered this problem. They booted into Snow Leopard and the problem was still there. So I'm guessing it was either a hardware issue, or like you said, more likely a firmware issue.
    Since they couldn't fix it in store (and I'm pretty sure they tried everything except ripping the thing apart), we had to do an online exchange because it was a refurbished product. The new one came and had no issue, even after doing all software updates and updating the firmware.

  • Help with registering for the apple developer prgram

    I am interested to join the apple developer program for indiviual. I do not own a credit card so can i use a credit card on another name and get the account in my name as i will be the one using the program and creating applications. I will use a friends credit card with his consent to get the developer progrm from apple.. My question is is this possible to do?????

    You can do this two ways.
    First, you make use of the Java Native Interface. Write a native library for Windows that uses the .NET class, FileSystemWatcher.
    This next one isn't the greatest approach. It's more a brute force way, but it still works. Write your own FileSystemListener class that gets a list of files, and checks the timestamp of it's last modification and compares the two.

  • It seems the safari 5 update broke firefox access to apple developer forums

    I can't seem to access the "Apple Developer Forums" link on the page: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
    I had been accessing this fine through firefox, but after I did the safari 5 update last night, it seems I can only use safari 5 to get access. Does anyone know what the story is?
    I get a 404 I think because it can't find an error doc to handle the get issue:
    +Request Entity Too Large+
    +The requested resource+
    /iphone/discussionForum.action
    +does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.+
