Forms on Retina Display

Hi.
Does anybody run Oracle Forms 11.1.2 on a Macbook Pro Retina Display? On normal Mac displays we use clientDPI=96 in formsweb.cfg, and text looks ok. But on the the retinas, text looks blurred. Is there any way to make it look better?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to open the applet in low resolution?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Here is a link to the US warranty for iPad:

Please note this excerpt:
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
And here is the equivalent warranty for India (which includes the same limitation):

You'll note the "may restrict" - I do not know how strict the enforcement of the terms would be.

Should I get the MacBook Pro 13" with retina display or the non retina display MacBook Pro?

Hi, I am just about to start sixth form, and I am looking for a laptop/notebook to do my work on, I have always wanted a MacBook Pro so, as I have to use my own money to buy this I have decided to choose a MacBook Pro as my preferred device that I would like to buy. The problem that I am facing is that I'm not sure which want to go for. I will not be doing any editing of photos or videos, I will be using this mainly for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations, on the other hand I will be using safari quite a lot. The reason why I want the Retina display version is because of the display the downside to this though is that the storage of the Retina versions isn't as much as the non retina versions and I will need quite a bit of storage for all of my work that I will be doing. I have the money though to upgrade the storage when it comes to ordering the product. Any advice, I will be grateful for. Thanks

Another thing to consider is that the Retina MBP does not have an optical drive. You will need to purchase an external optical drive. The non-Retina MBP do have an optical drive.
I do not know what sixth form is. If it has anything to do w/education, you should check into Apple - Education Discounts

DO I need Anti-Virus for my Macbook Pro w/Retina Display?

I am currently awaiting a MacBook Pro w/Retina Display and I am having an ongoing discussion with some work colleagues, since the Flashback Trojan appeared to infiltrate Mac's back in early 2012... DO I need Anti-Virus.. My argument is no, but everybody elses is yes!
I would love to see some indepth feedback to send my PC lovers running!
Thanks in advance.

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "archive extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software are likely to be infected.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet newsgroup is unsafe.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
5. Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install one unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, even supposing that they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. Windows malware attachments in email are almost always easy to recognize without computer assistance.
8. The greatest danger posed by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is its effect on human behavior. When people install such software, which does little or nothing to protect them from emerging threats, they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Laggy scrolling/animations and tricky touchpad on MacBook Pro w/Retina Display

As much as I loved the form factor and screen on the 15" 2.6ghz MBP w/Retina Display, the laggy scrolling, animations and intermimitently non-functional tap-to-click made me return it to Best Buy. A $3000 computer (after tax) shouldn't have problems that my Early 2011 MBP doesn't have. I thought the 10.8.2 update might fix this, but unfortunately it has not, even after a clean wipe.
Side note - 10.8.2 also made my 2011 MBP's battery literally drop by 1% a minute when on battery power. It's also ridiculously hotter. Unusable as a portable device.
Another side note - Best Buy really dillutes/degrades Apples great brand. The Apple Specialist in my local Best Buy in Dublin, CA is quite cranky and condescending. That will be the last time I buy an Apple product from Best Buy.

Retina Display is need for Indesign CS6 in CHINA! or CC.

As you look in the title. Indesign CC, the only version supporting retina, is not provided in China. I has got the idea that retina display requires a complete re-write of the base code. But the horrible display has been bothering my work a long time. My patience is over. If it can't be sovle, I have to use pirated software while I do not would like.
Hope to be solved. We all Chinese user will appreciate it.

That's the problem. By the way, credit card in China is very complex, especially visa or mastercard. It's inconvenient and useless in China. So no one will apply an international credit card just for purchasing software.
May Creative Cloud Comes to China SOON. I bear the awful display a more month. Thanks Again!

Combining Mover's Discount Coupon and Student Discount Coupon on Macbook Pro with Retina Display

To whom it may concern,
I've recently saved up enough to buy a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 13.3" with 8GB Memory ($1235) and I read on a few forums that you could combine the Mover's Coupon and College Student Coupon on the Macbook. However, with that discount, many customers had trouble because the sales associate/manager said it wasn't applicable to apply the Mover's Coupon and neither was it applicable to combine both coupons.
As a result, I called my local Best Buy in Brooklyn, NY (Bay Parkway, Store #599) in advance to double check if it was possible so that I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to argue with the store manager, etc. The sales associate said generally, I couldn't combine two coupons regardless of what type they were.
I was wondering if combining the Mover's Coupon and College Student Coupon still applied to the Macbook Pro.
If it did, would it be possible for someone to directly contact my local Best Buy store manager or sales associate that would be ringing me up and explain how to do it and that it is possible to combine the two coupons. I also have a $100 Best Buy gift card that I intend to use with my purchase so I was wondering if that was applicable on top of the Best Buy coupons.
Attached is the link below for the specific Macbook I intend to purchase.
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Wilson

Hello Wilson,
MacBook Pros are fantastic machines! I have owned one myself since 2010 and it’s still running smoothly. They can be quite the investment so I can understand why you would be looking to combine coupons and use a Best Buy gift card.
Best Buy gift cards are accepted as a form of payment, so you shouldn’t have trouble using a coupon and a gift card together. You can check out more information on forms of payment on our Payment Methods on BestBuy.com.
I would like to discuss your desire to combine these coupons further so I am sending you a private message. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

Reader with Macbook Pro with Retina Display

the reader is so slow when you try to scroll or navigate between pages, regardless of file type regardless of everything, the application is so slow and unpleasant to use.

Honestly, unless you're filling out PDF forms and saving them (Which reader does well by comparison) you should be using Preview (it's in your Applications folder) to view PDFs on a retina display. It was designed for it.
From: http://www.sawantshah.com/tools/macbook-pro-retina-pdf-reader-viewer/ December 6, 2012 - (I wholeheartedly agree with this opinion)
The Apple Macbook Pro Retina laptop is, in my opinion, the best laptop that developers or designers can lay their hands on. And it’s undoubtedly the best laptop for anyone to lay their eyes on. The Retina Macbook Pro offers crisp, crystal clear on-screen text. But no matter how good the screen, if the software support for such hi-resoultion display is not good enough then the retina display can be more of a problem. And although its been a few months since Apple released their Macbook Pro Retina laptops, some major software vendors have still not offered upgrades to their software to support the hi-DPI display of the Retina laptop.
Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite and Mozilla Firefox are the major software that lacked Retina support. Microsoft released an updated version of Office for Mac recently to support Retina resolution. Mozilla is building Retina support in Firefox version 18 and up.
Finally, there is Adobe Reader – a major problem as the text of PDFs gets pixelated, which puts a lot of strain on eyes. It’s also something major because Adobe Reader is not only used by developers and designers, but also by regular folks. The doubling of text/pixelation puts strain on the reader’s eyes and one is unable to continue to read for long.
The best software for reading PDFs on a Macbook Pro Retina comes pre-installed with OS X Mountain Lion. It’s Preview. Yes, it appears as if it’s only for images, but it works great with PDFs too, providing a crystal clear reading experience. So we can get rid of Adobe PDF Reader as it serves no purpose on Macbook Retina anymore, especially with the lack of hiDPI support.

Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash. If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR. Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep. If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep.
I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR. I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
Tom

Thanks for responding. Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery . Other sound effects play promptly. I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.

MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display and SSD upgrade?

Looking to upgrade to a SSD in my MacBook Pro (summer 2012) non-retina display. Are there ones that work better in a MacBook Pro?

In theory at least, any SSD will work fine. There are some additional considerations to make, however. It mostly revolves around updating the drive's firmware. Many SSD companies do not offer Mac-friendly ways to perform this procedure. From the list Clinton provided, you can drop Corsair and Samsung immediately for this reason.
I would not consider OWC, Intel, or any SSD that uses a Sandforce chipset because of spotty reliability. Yes, improvements have been made, but I still do not trust them. Of the dozens of SSDs I've owned and deployed over the last 2-3 years, the only ones to need replacement were ones with Sandforce.
That leaves Crucial, Plextor, and OCZ. The former two basically use the same Marvell chipset. While I can't speak for Plextor, Crucial's firmware updates are OS agnostic. You simply down an .iso file, burn it to CD, boot from that disc, and perform the update. It works perfectly on a Mac. Doing a quick check of Plextor's support site, it seems the proedure is the same.
For OCZ, I'm only focusing on the Vector and Vertex 4. The former is brand new, having just hit the market within the last couple weeks. If you're looking to buy right now, I would stick with the Vertex 4 as it's a more proven commodity. OCZ has created a suite of tools that you copy to a USB flash drive. You can boot from it, and it takes you to what I think is a very heavily modified Linux distribution. From there, you can do a firmware update, check drive health, and perform a SATA secure erase to return the drive to its "out of the box" state. To get the most from the tools, you should have a USB mouse plugged in. Also, firmware updates require the use of a hard-wired Ethernet cable; you can't use wireless.
Bottom line - for an SSD upgrade, stick with Crucial, Plextor, or OCZ as they are the most Mac-friendly (aside from original Apple parts, of course).

Why does my mac book pro 2012 15" w/ retina display run slow during a video game and then an SMC reset seems to fix it temporarily?

When I begin to play Diablo 3 with my fairly new 15" mac book pro with retina display, every now and then my computer will be really laggy when playing it (frame rate of under 5). Normally its performance is really fast with a frame rate of about 40-60 frames per second depending on the resolution used. When this happens I have performed a SMC reset and it fixed the problem. However, every few days it will act up again and I will have to do an SMC reset again. It has now happened again for the third time and I am affraid to continue to perform an SMC reset, is this bad for my computer? Should I take it in and have them trouble shoot it? Any help would be greatly appreciated to figure out what is wrong. Thanks.

So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
Thanks for your help,
Tetrault

Will we see a retina display on iPad?

The next iPad will no doubt have a gyroscope, and probably a camera and facetime. But will we see a retina display on iPad in the next or even third or fourth gen? By my calculation, you'd need something like 23xx by 17xx resolution to get 300 dpi on the same screen size. It's probably prohibitively expensive with current tech.
As nice as the iPad screen is, I picked up a real magazine today and realize wow the iPad is still very far away from print quality, if Steve jobs can put a retina display in the next iPad, THAT would be revolutionary.

I don't think you even need to speculate on this to see it's very very very unlikely.
So the iPad display is 1024x768 and is 9.7" diagonal, right? So... what... you think Apple is going to be able to incorporate a 3072x2302 9.7" display panel AND bump up the CPU power enough to push all those pixels around? Guess what... Mac Pros ten times the volume and weight of an iPad would have trouble with that, and each of those superdense panels (assuming one can even be built) would cost thousands of dollars. Not to mention that even if you could physically fit all that in an iPad sized form factor, you'd still have to dissipate all the heat the processing would generate.
Oh... and even if you got past ALL those obstacles... today's batteries would last maybe an hour powering the mythica CPU/GPUs.
So I would say... not likely anytime soon.
