Illustrator CS5 and Macbook Pro with Retina Display

Anyone have any word on the compatibility here? As a freelancer, Illustrator CS5 is one of my main tools. I've heard there'll be an update to Photoshop, but haven't heard anything about Illustrator.
Thanks

I hope they update CS5 because things look pretty terrible if you ask me. Everything renders all pixely and it's dang near impossible to tell if your images look sharp or not. Essentially, everything is pixelated no matter how sharp the image is when you open it.
Retina looks like it is going to make designing for the web a nightmare. When you deal in pixels and can actually distingish pixel increments by sight on the screen, a display like this is proving to be quite counterproductive. For print and vector based graphics, etc, I think it will be a much different situation, the graphics don't look that bad in CS5 on a retina display. You can see pixelization around edges but gradients are smooth at least and the blacks are incredible.
This is going to make web design a royal pain though.

  • Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

    Hello,
    Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
    I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
    My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
    On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:

    (Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
    Please fix this issue.

    Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

  • Can the new Macbook Air and Macbook Pro with retina display that run OS X Lion or Mountain Lion run Windows through bootcamp?

    I was just wondering.. since the new macs have omitted the optical disk drives is it still possible to install windows on a mac running OSX Lion and Mountain Lion?

    Yes. Read the Boot Camp Install instructions for the MacBook Air which also does not have an optical drive. Put Windows onto a thumb drive or external optical drive and make these bootable. Then follow the instructions for installation from the thumb drive or external optical drive.

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?

    I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
    Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN.  That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!

    Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
    Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
    So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
    Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
    If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price).

  • My 2014 MacBook Pro with retina displays crashes when I run Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following specs:
    2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz 
    16 GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
    I am running Premiere Pro CS5 with Mercury Playback GPU Acceleration enabled, but my computer keeps freezing and I have to restart it every time.   Any kind of help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had to call Apple and the tech made me enter a bunch of terminal commands to fix this. Unfortunately I can't tell you excactly what it was. I think the best way would be to call Apple.

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

    If you haven't found an answer yet. I know for a fact that this can be ordered directly from Apple at no extra cost
    You can either ask for this when buying a new MBP at a "physical" Apple store, or as in my case in the UK the online Apple store allows such keyboard configuration in addition to 3 other languages like Spanish, German and French

  • MacBook Pro with Retina display in game graphics and SMC

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro with retina display and started playing STC2 on it. I experienced  great gameplay with maxed out graphics and 30fps, however recently the fps was down and as part of my trobleshooting I reset the SMC and that seemed to correct the issue. However the computer heats up much faster now and the fans seem to labor to keep it cool. When the fps was lower before i reset the SMC the computer did not get nearly as hot. My question is; is this the OS trying to protect the hardware from overheating or just a glitch?

    Well unless you want to go through the hassle of waiting for a replacement unit you can try a few things on your own.
    Make sure it is plugged in and charging (Orange LED light will indicate it is charging Green means it is fully charged)
    Once it is plugged in make sure everything else is unplugged
    The only thing plugged in should be the power adapter
    On the left hand side of your keyboard press down and hold the Control Shift and Option Keys
    While you are holding down those three keys hold down the power button as well
    Hold down all 4 of these for 10 seconds
    After 10 seconds let go
    Try turning your mac on
    If this works problem fixed!
    If this does not work try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (You get 90 days of free complimentary phone support on your product)
    If you purchased AppleCare you have 3 years of it and you should have this number on hand it can really help you out
    I always advise friends and family to purchase applecare if they plan on having their product longer than a year
    You will get 3 years of phone support as well as hardware support
    That means if you have any questions or anything goes wrong just call Apple
    It also means if your computer breaks it is covered! Meaning no out of pocket expenses unless it is water or accidental damage
    You may really want to look into purchasing applecare

  • My MacBook Pro with Retina display displays power point and not other windows when connected to a projector

    My MacBook Pro with Retina display displays power point and not other windows when connected to a projector. Can anyone help out please?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
