PDF viewing is bit-mapping with new Retina laptop

I have a new Retina MacBook Pro and when I opened a PDF, it is displaying bit-mapped or "crunchy" looking. Do I need to change settings in Acrobat CC?... or in my Mac System Preferences somewhere?

If the mountain does not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad goes to the mountain.
On this basis I wrote a short perl script that increments a number, and constructs a new
filename from the original filename and the incremented number.
Then it copies the original file to the new name and runs Reader or Preview on the new file.
Now I can see as many versions together as I like.

Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

Skype issues with new Retina MBP

Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
thanks.

Email issue with new Retina Ipad Mini

I can receive email but can not send. I have 2 Ipads. Both have the same mail settings. The new Retina Ipad wont send email. I keep getting the message
CANNOT SEND MAIL. THE USER NAME OR PASSWORD FOR SMTP:******@[email protected] is incorrect. I have checked and they are the same and
correct. I have removed and rebuilt the email account but still doesn't work.

Expansion base xb3000 - compatible with new HP laptops?

Good morning all!
I am currently using a DV8305 laptop connected to a xb3000 expansion base. It is a great set up! I would like to get a new laptop (something in the DV7 range) and use it with my old xb3000. The problem is, none of the new HP laptops are listed in the online compatibility list (and I dont want to buy a new expansion base.) The xb3000 appears to have an Expansion Port 3 connector (as do selected HP laptops), so it should work.... or would it?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ian
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am using the xb3000 with my new DV7-1135NR and it works perfectly. I bought an xb 3000 power supply on Ebay for about $15.00 and noted that the output is 18.5v and 4.9amps. The power supply for my DV7-1135NR is 18.5V and 4.9 amps. Electronics experts tell me that the difference is completely negilble and harmless.
Suggest you check your laptop power supply against the above, and make sure you have or acquire one with the base expansion port on the left side of the laptop.
Mine is working perfectly, charges my laptop and powers it during operation. No problems whatsoever. All of the features of the xb3000 (i.e. usb ports, volume control, power switch, etc) are active and completely functional.
I might add that HP tech support (if you can call it that!!) kept me on chat and subsequently on the phone for 30 minutes before advising me that my laptop was NOT compatible with the xb3000. Further, they could NOT identify the drive that is compatible with the drive bay on the xb3000. Just for info, HP sells an adapter for $19.00 that allows HP mini drives to be used in the xb3000. The mini drives are sold direct on the HP website is the adapter and they are very reasonably priced. As a matter of fact, priced much better than the one dimensional and proprietary drives originally sold for the xb3000.
Well, lots of info here. Hope this helps. Good luck and best regards,

Firefox very slow and Thunderbird not responding with new HP laptop.

I recently purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 8. I had been using Firefox and Thunderbird on both my old laptop and desktop with no problem. However, since trying to use both on my new machine, Firefox has slowed down to the point of making it impractical to use. And whenever I log into Thunderbird, it takes at least 10 minutes and more before Thunderbird becomes responsive.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any solutions?

Screen Flicker with new Retina Display iPad?

New iPad Retina Display seem to flicker when scrolling through Aps when I am downloading an Ap. This does not occur with either my iPad 1 or iPad 2.

jbthree: I can pretty much confirm this is a OS issue as I exchanged my Retina Display for the iPad Mini, some thing occurs so it is a glitch in Apples OS that needs to be fixed. Ironically the iPad mini seemed to work better especially the WiFi, Apple should have put a Retina display on this device and kept the same price and they would have sold more IMHO. I think it is the OS with the new units hardware not working together, so it's very hard to say if it, is one or the other just yet. I have 14 days to return this one, and if Apple doesn't release some thing that fixes it, I will return it and wait. On the Mini it only happens when I am in the App store and nowhere else, where on the iPad Retina display it happened App Store and other areas. Maybe the first batches are affected it will be interesting if anyone else sees it as an issue or not.

Using old Macbook Pro Adapter with new Retina

I have a 2008 Macbook Pro (15") that I've got about 2 additional power adapters for situated at various locations. I JUST bought a brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro and would like to reuse the power adapters on it.
Is this possible?
Physically the magsafe plug won't fit but isn't there an adapter out there?
What's the wattage restrictions on this?

Hi zamboknee,
This can be done with the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter, which can be purchased at the link below. Aside from that, MacBook Pros still utilize 85 W input, the same for both MacBook Pros.

Table or view does not exist with new user

I am having trouble getting a new user to be able to access the tables in the database. I have created a user just like normal and given it all the privileges i would normally give it. It is the only user other than the original that created all the tables. Every time i go to select from a table i get the error table or view does not exist.
Am i missing something? It is Oracle 10.1.0.2 and i have never had this problem with earlier versions.

You will always need to qualify the table name with schema name if you are accessing a table of some other schema except in a case that you have created a public synonym (with the same name as table). Suppose there is table table1 in schema schema1 and you are accessing it from schema2.
You will need to write schema1.table1 but if you create a public synonym
create public synonym table1 for schema1.table1;then you can directly write
select * from table1;Sidhu

Display problems with new Retina 5k iMac

Hello
I have just bought and started for the first time my iMac retina 5k. Initially the monitor looked great and i was really impressed.
I have just come back after stepping away for a few minutes and the monitor display seems stretched or skewed horizontally. This is happening on the home screen, webpages and even photos.
I don't believe i changed anything to have this effect and now whatever I do in the displays set up in system preferences it remains unchanged.
Can someone advise me please

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with the issue. BTW, you can return it the first 14 days with no questions asked.

Can not view Podcasts on iPod with new iTunes

I just installed the newest release of iTunes for Win XP (7.1.1.5) and now I can't see any of my Podcasts on my iPod (I have an iPod mini). I want to delete some of the podcasts from my iPod, but not all of them. And since I can't view them (I can only view MUSIC) I can't do that.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the posting to my question.
But the Podcasts currently on my iPod are not in my iTunes (I delete them after transferring to my iPod as I don't want to get confused which are new and which are old...).
So the problem is my inability to access my podcasts that are on my iPod as I want to delete the ones I've already listened to... If you have another guess I'd be very happy to give it a try.

Sync with new windows laptop

I had a laptop I used to Sync with my iPhone 5 and I no longer have access to it. I purchased a new laptop with Windows 8 and iTunes loaded but I need to have iPhone files (music, photos, videos, apps, etc.) to be transferred to the library. I believe in an older version of iTunes you could opt for the device have priority over the iTunes library but it doesn't seem to have that feature anymore (if it ever did).
I downloaded a free app (AVGO) and backed up all the files (except for the apps!!!) to my laptop. It also gives you the option to export the files to iTunes library but I don't think it did! I don't have any Photos in iTunes (there's no option for Photos at all!) and my playlists don't show.
Is there a painless way to sync the laptop to my iPhone 5? It is bizarre that iTunes does not provide that functionality! Thank you in advance
Kevin

Carolyn - thanks, but I had already authorized my new laptop. When I try to Sync, essentially nothing happens - for about a second iTunes says it's synchronizing my iPod, which it recognizes as mine, but then the iPod immediately says it's ready to disconnect. The iPod has about 65 gigabytes of songs on it and for several years, with my old, original laptop, when I synced, iTunes would update any new downloads and playlists onto the iPod. Since I got the new laptop, I have about 2-3 GB of new music on it and a few new playlists and they won't update to my iPod. I hate to have to "restore" the iPod, which I think overwrites everything on the iPod and would likely take 3-4 hours at the 1 song per second figure I've seen quoted, but if that's the only way to do it, I guess I can. Any other suggestions?

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when attempting to scan from your HP Officejet to your Windows 8 computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.

However, in order for me to assist you with installing the Full Feature Software and Driver package for your machine I do need to know what HP Officejet product you have.
