Building for iPad 3/Retina in Windows?

I've spent the last week putting together an app in Flash CS6 designed for the iPad 3's Retina resolution. I just finished the whole Apple Developer certificate dark ritual, paid $99, sacrificed five infants to the dark gods, yada yada, and then I put the app on the iPad 3 and it looks like garbage! So of course I look online and after some sleuthing find out CS6 /FB4.6 don't build Retina-compatible apps because they are using an outdated iOS SDK. I guess Adobe doesn't want this information to be easy to find. I also read that Mac users can manually set up FB to compile with the latest iOS SDK, but... I don't have a Mac.
Is there any way at all to generate Retina-compatible apps from Windows without having access to a Mac or xcode? I'm running out of babies to sacrifice...

I changed the Publish setting target to AIR 3.3. Now the IPA compiles much faster, but when I try to run it on the iPad, it goes to a black screen with a cycling animation of five white dots (looks like a progress bar?) in the upper left corner and nothing ever happens. It takes a good 5 minutes to compile using 3.2, but less than 30 seconds using 3.3 - is it possible it isn't compiling fully?
EDIT: You have to export SWC for a 3.3/Retina app to work, but this isn't needed for 3.2 and wasn't turned on.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
132 - iPad 2
264 - new iPad
At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.
Good luck.

Hi ravelvanto,
mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...

Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

Is there any pen for iPad with retina display ?

Yes. The Bamboo stylus is fully supported. Only the soft rubber tipped side. The Pen side obviosuly not.
Note all stylus that work with the iPad are noticeably thicker than a pen or pencil, so precision is not something you'll get much of.
Look at the link I provided, all those stylus work with iPad. See if you like one of those. Or if you can fnd one of those were you live.

Do i need screeguard for ipad mini retina?

i got new ipad mini retina and to protect its screen from dust do i need a screen guard or it doesn't need ?
if yes please suggest which brand should i buy in Indian market. i am confused.

It's a personal preference thing. I've always had one. I figure that it's an expensive device and I like to protect it. Others swear to never use one and never have.
I would suggest, if you do get one, don't get a cheap no-name off amazon. I have a Zagg protector on mine (not sure if they're available in India but they do have a website). They are expensive - my iPad 2 one cost me $30, however they're guaranteed for life.

Refused the Student discount coupon for iPad mini retina

Today i visited the local bestbuy store to grab the iPad mini retina. It was a good deal and all over the internet people are talking about getting the same for $299 + tax after using $50 student edu coupon. To my surprise the local bestbuy refused to honor their own coupon.
Coupon clearly says its valid instore or online, but still no luck. Requested to talk to a store manager and same answer. Sorry sir, we cannot let you use this.
One Geek squad person asked me if i can show him the coupon works and i did. To my surprise, after seeing that too, he said, I don't know, but we will not let you use it in store. I showed him again, see the coupon says instore, same answer.
I did told the manager that i can sit in the store, order one online and pickup here itself, I don't see any difference. She simply said, you can do that, but we will not honor the coupon in store, like she don't know or want to know what a customer is trying to explain.
Finally i said i want to file a compaint against her and she smiled and said, please go ahead and call 1-800 number and tell them my name is Michel.
Wow, I just simply said Wow.. never had such an experience. Just sharing my story and wondering what you could have done if you happen to be at my place.
Note: I know there is no difference and i could have make it easy for every one by ordering iPad online and pickup from store, but that was not the point. The point was the attitude of the BB manager for their customers and even once they did not try to understand and try to resolve the issue or at least have exaplined on what ground the coupon cannot be used in store.

Hello MKSTOOL-
Getting an extra $50 off an iPad Mini with Retina display would be a great deal, but only if you get to benefit from it! I am truly sorry to hear that despite these coupons showing that they are good in the store, you were denied its use.
Based on the information you’ve provided, I’m not really sure why the store would have denied the use of that coupon. You are correct in that these coupons can be used either in-store or online and that is called out here on BestBuy.com.
I’d like to look into this further and see if we can help get this resolved for you, but I will need some additional information. If you can send me a Private Message with your full name and the store location that you visited, I would appreciate it. You can send me a Private Message by logging into the forum and clicking on the button across from my name on this post.
I believe the current set of coupons expires on 9/6, to the quicker you can send me that message, the quicker I can try to get a resolution.
Thanks for connecting with us!

IPad Air is Awesome - But how will i afford it ? Need an exchange offer for iPad with Retina Display to iPad Air in India

I have a iPad with retina display with me. We require an exchange offer for the new iPad Air in india.

Sell your iPad retina and use that money to offset the cost of a new iPad air.
And if your iPad retina works fine for your uses now, why not just wait - odds are there will be an iPad Air II or something new within a year or less anyway - any consumer electronic device gets replaced with a newer model in very short order anyway. If you try to always have the very latest and greatest, you'll go broke (or nuts, or both).

Click issue with s:Datagrid on mobile for iPads with retina displays (only left half is clickable)

I'm currently testing a Flex mobile application (that was originally made for iPad 2) on high rest iPad fourth generation and iPad Air devices.
I'm having this strange issue where the s:DataGrid, no matter where I use it in the application, will display correctly, but only the left half is clickable to select rows. The number of columns in the DataGrid is not important, nor is the width of the DataGrid, the problem is always present. As soon as you try to click in the right half, it doesn't work.
The application uses an applicationDPI of 160, and scales properly on the higher resolution devices.
So this feels like a bug to me, as if the DataGrid scales properly, but not it's clickable area?
I have tried a bunch of stuff to see if I could work around this issue, like calling invalidate functions and setting the DataGrid's width dynamically, but no change so far.
At this point I'm open for any suggestions or ideas...
Edit: After further testing it seems the same is true for the height. I noticed when I added more rows in the grid. Only the top half of the DataGrid can be clicked. So it really looks like a dimension issue with the clickable area?
Thanks

I ended up not using the DataGrid, and decided to use the experimental MobileGrid instead, which is not afflicted with this issue.
So this issue no longer concerns me.
BTW the default theme of MobileGrid is dark, but can be lightened up with CSS and by extending the MobileGrid skins, up to a point where I almost can't tell the difference v.s. the DataGrid.
It also performs better then the DataGrid. since it's based on List. With 300 elements, it scrolled noticeably faster.

Quality slim "smart case" for iPad 4/retina iPad

Hi all!
I just bought myself beautiful black iPad 4 but the store didn´t have any good case/cover for it. I have browsed the web but I´m yet to find a cover which has the look and functionality I´m looking for. These are the criterias I´m looking for:
1. Light. I want to be able to hold the iPad comfortably in the air.
2. Slim. I don´t want any excessive bulk.
3. Protecting front and back. Mainly from cratches. I can´t expect it to hold up against a 5 foot drop considering I want a light case.
4. I want some nice quality but not over 100 $. It can be leather or other materials as well.
5. I want it to NOT cover the glass of the iPad like so many leathercases do.
6. The case must double as a stand in both typing stance/mode and viewing stance/mode. Preferrably more then one angle in viewing mode.
7. The sleep/wake function must work well for iPad 4. I have read so many reviews where the sleep/wake activates way to often by "mistake" when carrying around the iPad or in a bag.
Part of the problem finding a case is that the iPad 4 hasn´t been around for that long I guess. Design wise I really like the Jisoncase real leather smart cover:
http://www.jisoncase.com/product/newipad-case-brown.html
But I´ve read from someone that the flip gets "worn in" so the sleep/wake function activates all the time, draining the battery. But design wise it´s a true winner!

Yes. Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock / Unlock OFF.

Garageband for iPad and iPhone using Windows 7

Hi, I'm new to GarageBand. I have an iPhone and an iPad. How can I copy a garageband project that I created on one device to the other device? Also, I use Windows 7. If I use the Save to... button in iTunes, I get to save a file, but when I try to use the Add... button to add it to the other device, each .band file is a folder and when I select it, and click Open, it opens the contents and will only select a file once I get to a lower level of the project structure. The only files that I'm able to select are ones called PkgInfo and projectData. So, in other words, I'm able to get the project from either device to the computer but then unable to get the project from the computer to the other device. Thanks in advance.
