Do any of you have trouble reading the text on the 15" MBP?

Does the 1440x900 resolution make it difficult to read the text on the screen?

Not for me, but my eyes are good at close range for someone in his 60s. Those who are more farsighted and need reading glasses for close work may have more trouble.
The things to be concerned about are the menus, dialog boxes, and other Finder and OS elements that can't be enlarged except by reducing the display resolution, which blurs everything on the display. In most applications' windows, you can easily change the font size or zoom in on the page as a whole to suit yourself. Ultimately, whether you're comfortable with the screen resolution at its native (maximum) setting is a purely personal decision that only you can make. I strongly advise you NOT to buy any computer whose display is uncomfortable to use at its native setting, because you will be looking at a blurry screen ALL the time if you have to use any LCD display at a non-native resolution.

  • I dont know if any of you have been reading up on the classic forums, but

    Their ipods also seem to be having just as many problems (some worse, some better). Many of them are also quite angry, in fact angrier than us with the black issue problems (i dont know why i say us because i dont own a touch yet, but thats besides the point). Heres one of their threads http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1133282&tstart=0.
    And i really do sympathize with them because it seems that Apple really did drop the quality ball this time. All of the ipods are experiencing real problems,not just "wahhh the 5g ipod video's screen is to small", ...well not so much for the awesome nano..., but apple really needs to think about testing their products instead of letting the customers do the testing for them. lol. Though that may not be funny to those who are fitting that role (in fact they had to pay apple to test their product).

    No i know that people who come here tend to have problems, theres no doubt in that. However, i am just comparing the issues to the ones for past Ipods and apple products (e.g.: 5g ipod's biggest concern was the screen wasnt large enough, and the biggest imac problem which got the most media attention was the glossy screen). These problems dont actually hamper the ipod's functions, while a crashing ipod classic and an ipod touch with unwhatchable video does.

  • I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

    I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background  color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

    Hello Floridamacbookpro,
    You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
    Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

  • How do I set page zoom? Page is to small, have trouble reading.....I never had this problem with internet explorer, there was a zoom bar at the bottom of the page.

    How do I change the zoom or text size, I have trouble reading this size.

    '''jeffmc''': First, you are using a version of Firefox that has been superceded/superseded and is no longer supported. The current version of Firefox if 6.0.2; you are using version 5.0. Consider upgrading.
    *See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox?bl=n&s=update%20automatically
    If you are using the Firefox button instead of the Menu Bar, you will not see "View" at the top of the browser window or on the Firefox button menu.
    *You can temporarily display the Menu Bar by pressing the ALT key or the F10 key and make the selection from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar; View > Zoom
    *You can instead, use ALT+V+Z to get to the Zoom settings
    *You can use CTRL++ to zoom in, CTRL+- to zoom out, CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) to reset the zoom to 100%

    Any one else having trouble w/Safari frequently crashing the last week or two?  Any cures?  Mine is 4.1.3  Thanks

    Most Safari problems are due to unsupported plug-ins, add-ons, custom toolbars, or "input manager" software, some of which you may not know you have acquired.
    You best bet is to ask in the Safari forums:

    I have seen similar threads that suggest this is a known issue with this version of Acrobat but I would like conformation from Adobe that this is a known issue and whether it is fixed in a newer version?
    Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.13
    SharePoint 2010

    Hi quodd,,
    We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
    1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
    2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
         Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
    3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
    4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
       Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column  with a simple name
    Thanks,

  • If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock is from the original computer?

    If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock the phone to connect to the original computer? Is there no way to connect to itunes? HELP!

    Restoring as a new device means you will loose everything.  You can restore from a backup, but if that backup includes the same passcode you cannot remember now, then it will just put it back in place and you will be right back where you are.  If the backup does NOT include the passcode currently on the device, you can restore from that backup.
    If restoring as new, you will loose any pictures in camera roll not already saved somewhere else (like your computer).  You will loose any contacts also not already saved somewhere else.
    Once you've restored the iPhone though, you can re-sync the contacts and other content from your backup copies on your computer.  iTunes and App store content can always be redownloaded.

  • Can you have multiple bleed allowances (along with the multiple page sizes) in InDesign CS5?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to InDesign and have a question about documents with mixed page sizes in CS5.  I'm preparing an illustrated book for print and was hoping to be able to contain all the pages (including the covers) in one document.  My basic setup is 140 mm x 210 mm with a 3 mm bleed on each side.  I've managed to add the different cover page (146 mm x 216 mm) and spine (10 mm) dimensions easily enough, but can you have multiple bleed specifications too?  The bleed allowance I need for the case layout is 15 mm.  I've scoured InDesign and the net, but can't find any information about this anywhere.  It would seem rather silly to be able to have multiple page sizes in your document without being able to change the bleed allowance too.  Here's hoping it's possible!  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you!
    Alexandria

    make sure what your printer means ie: Page size + 6mm spine bulk + 15mm bleed.
    and design acordingly

  • ITunes error message: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use." What do I do?

    I recently started receiving the following iTunes error message when I attempt to update the software on my iPad or iPhone: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use."
    Any ideas what I need to do? The software won't update on my iPad, and I need to update through iTunes, as my iPad does not have enough free space to use the OTA service.

    You need to free up space on your boot drive.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • Can you have 2 seperate iphone accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two seperate iphone accounts on the same computer??? please help?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
    If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

    If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
    If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
    Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices???  Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud?  So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts?   One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up.  The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
    ~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

    Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
    Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
    Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
    And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?
