Print design and retina mac laptop screen resolution?

print designer here considering buying a retina mac laptop but concerned about the screen resolution and 2x pixels that i keep on reading about. For preparing artwork for PRINTshould i continue preparing my images at 300dpi at 100@ of the final size? thanks so much, claudia.

There are only a couple choices. Either return the monitor for a brand name monitor that is Mac compatible, or use third-party software (DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X) to make up for the Optiquest's display driver deficiency and configure the required 1280 x 1024 timing manually.

Hey Cdronet14,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5. I see that you have already attempted a reset of the device. To isolate the issue further and determine if it is hardware related, the next step would be to backup and restore your device as new:

After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

The serial number for the version purchased on cd can be used for two installations: Mac and PC or Mac and Mac or PC and PC.
The serial number for the downloaded version can be used only on two PCs or 2 Macs (generally), depending upon the version purchased.

HT3669 Canon laser printer LBP7750C and a Mac Book Air with OS X 1.8.4??

Hi! I have a Canon laser printer LBP7750C and a Mac Book Air with OS X 1.8.4, but I can't get it to function. After installning the printer, via Ethernet network (Apple Time Capsule) and IP-number, it seems to connects ok but can't print. Anyone has a solution or tip? Thanks!

One possible cause for your symptom is the printer driver you are using. If you have installed the Postscript (PS) driver but your LPB7750 does not have the PS kit installed, then this can stop a document from printing. So I would suggest you download and install the UFR2 v10.10 driver.
If you are using the UFR2 driver then the other cause for this symptom is the IP protocol. This driver and the PS driver must be configured using the LPD protocol. If you have selected IPP or HP Jetdirect when creating the print queue, then this will stop you from printing. So remove the printer from Print & Scan and add it again, this time selecting LPD for the protocol.
Another cause can be you have the wrong IP address. To check that the address is correct, type the IP address into a web browser. This will result in a connection to the internal web page of the printer if the IP address is correct.

Problem with AE CS5 and laptop screen resolution during install..

Hello everyone,
I bought AE and I am very disappointed. When I went to install the application, I got the following errors and it stopped installing.
Exit Code: 7
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 54 error(s), 52 warning(s)
WARNING: Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
My max screen resolution is 1366x768 and the requirement is 1280x1024.
I don't plan on buying a screen that large. Is there a fix for this? perhaps editing the registry? I won't mind the small work area. I can manage. does AE CS4 have this resolution requirement? I have an opengl capable graphics card in my laptop so I don't think that is an issue here. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

ok I think I was able to bypass the " Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}" error during install. I hooked up an exteral monitor with the required resolution and I did not see that error message again. However, I am still getting the following error messages
<code>
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
</code>
could it be that my graphics card does not support opengl? how can I make sure it supports opengl 2.0?
the graphics card that I have is an integraded intel media graphics accelerator. I am quite sure it would support opengl2.0. any thoughts? thanks
My brother has a screen resolution of 1240x780 and yet he was able to install AE CS5 without any errors at all. He has an ATI mobility Raedon Graphics card. whats up with that? also, he cannot hear any sound from avi videos in AE. He has tried everything even raising the decibals level in the track.

Mac mini screen resolution not synced with monitor

Hello! I have a Mac mini at home, equipped to an hp w2408h monitor via HDMI cable. Recently, I went to my friends' house with my Mac, plugging it in to their projector and playing Minecraft. However, I had to adjust the screen resolution, and once I got back and set everything up again, the monitor said I need to 'adjust screen resolution'. Is there any way to reset/sync/calibrate the resolution to the monitor, or do I have to go back and readjust the settings? Thanks! :3

Skippy-xd and cairo-dock ignore screen resolution in openbox

Hey, this is the first time I'm posting since I usually solve my problem using this forum and google but I this time they failed me.
I recently switched from gnome to openbox and in the process of making myself comfortable I installed first skippy-xd and then cairo-dock.
I had to set the screen resolution (1920x1080), which was too low in the beginning, using xrandr and while trying to solve my problem I also created "/etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/10-monitor.conf". Unfortunately skippy-xd seems to ignore the new resolution when I enter the window picker and I end up having the window overview only covering a part of my screen. First I thought that was a skippy-xd specific problem but after installing cairo-dock I noticed, that the dock got displayed at the bottom of the same "window" that skippy occupied. So I guess there has to be some underlying problem that causes both of these programs to ignore my set screen resolution and instead go with the one openbox assigned to me in the beginning.
The same configuration works flawless on my laptop. And I search google up and down in order to find a solution.
Thanks in advance,
meloxu

I saw your post, and had found it incredulous that you have a 1920x1080 display. A bit of research and I found I was wrong.
So, it appears you are driving the panel at its native resolution. Unfortunately, trying to determine what you mean by "Fuzzy" is probably going to be like trying to nail Jello to a tree. But, let's give it a shot. Is it fuzzy before you start X? Are lines and shapes fuzzy? Or is it just text that is fuzzy?
If it is just fonts, it could be a problem with hinting. Hinting is where the edges of fonts are deliberately fuzzed and feathered to get the kerning correct when the physical pixels of the display don't quite line up. This works well, unless the thing doing the hinting does not understand the geometry of the display. In a color LCD, each pixel is actually made up of smaller sub pixels, generally three -- A red, a green, and a blue. Green is usually in the middle. Some displays have Two greens per pixel, arranged RGBG. Some displays even have yellow subpixels. Sometimes the subpixels are arranged left to right, sometimes they are arranged top to bottom. Long story short, if you have hinting enabled, but the geometry is configured incorrectly, bad things happen. Take a look at this wiki article

Print/Design Software on Mac

Hey I just bought a new MacBook as in yesterday. I'm also a newbie (Mac user that is). I used Microsoft Publisher A LOT on my PC, is there any compatible print/design software for a Mac (besides Adobe InDesign)? or Can I install MS Publisher using Boot Camp (if that's possible)? Thanks for any suggestions.

*"is there any compatible print/design software for a Mac (besides Adobe InDesign)"*
No...not without InDesign and PUB2ID: http://www.markzware.com/pub2id/
*"Can I install MS Publisher using Boot Camp"*
Yes

Droid Incredible and a Mac laptop

I'm new here so please excuse me if I've done this wrong. I got my Driod almost a month ago and the salesman said I could tether my phone to my laptop. I think I just figured out that the Droid Incredible is not compatible with a Mac. Does anyone know if this is correct? And does any one know if any of the Droid's are compatible with a Mac.
Thanks for your help!
Debbie

I have a Macbook and a DINC and it hooks up just fine. When you plug your USB cable in, the Mac laptop will likely pop up an error. Just hit the ignore button. On the DINC, you will get your normal screen to choose "Charge Only"..etc etc. When you choose to mount the phone, it should pop up two drive icons. One for the phone, one for an SD card if you have one installed.
Then you can drag and drop whatever files you want. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
Any ideas?

You won't be able to get this to work.
The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
You have three solutions.
Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

I am looking for a printer for my daughters mac laptop any suggestions

I am looking for a printer for my daughters apple laptop, any suggesstions

What are your daughter's needs? Is she a professional graphics artist needing a high quality printer, or is she a middle school student who just needs to be able to print a report for school? There are printers available for just about every need but they vary widely in price.
I have a Brother black and white laser printer that has served me well for many years, and only recently got a HP color inkjet printer because I need to do color flyers.
Let us know more and we'll be glad to help you.

Mac laptop screen going to sleep and changing desktop background

last weekend my daughter called to say that her Macbook was acting strange. On Friday night she saw the battery icon said 25%, so she shut the system down. The next morning she plugged it in and booted. It took a while and the desktop background had changed to something grey. Also, the screen would blank out after 30 seconds to a minute. If she hit the space bar it would show and then go black after the 30 to 60 second time period. I had her shutdown and boot to her external drive where she had a month old image of her system. It took a minute or two to boot (it always seems like a long time when you are on the phone). It came up as her normal system and background. She left it for over an hour and it did not black out or go to sleep. We were planning on doing a restore the next day, but when she did a normal boot later that day from the internal hard drive, it came up with her normal background and the screen stayed active. She had not tried to set any settings. Is there something that a low battery would do to change the energy settings? We were going to explore the settings when the system magically worked as normal. It seems strange that a boot to the external drive would restore settings so that the system worked normally.

Energy Saver and third party USB often don't go well hand in hand. I would though contact OWC and let them know you are having this problem, since they have a good track record of supporting the Mac platform. In the meantime, use Screen Saver instead of Energy Saver.
And always keep your data backed up at least twice as my FAQ explains:

My new iPhone5 can't download iTune library. I have iTunes 10.6.3. iTunes says I'm up to date. And I have latest retina mac laptop (at least 10.7). Why can't I download iTunes 10.7?

New iPhone 5 can't download my iTunes library. I tried update to iTunes 10.7 but it (iTunes) says I am current at 10.6.3. I've read on other posts that OS needs to be up to date. But my macBook pro retina-display is at least 10.7. Now what?

Are you able to update to 10.7.0.21 using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website?

Using simultaneous 30" Cinema *AND* internal 17" laptop screen

I did look on the forum first, but I want to do this w/my 17" MBP 233:
* Hook up my 30" Apple monitor
* Use the k/b mouse on the laptop
* Use the display from the laptop lcd *at the same time* - in other words, two displays at once
If I can use them at the same time, which one gets the "desktop" environment? (menus, icons etc)?
Is there enough memory on the video card to do both? That 30" is like 2600x1600 or so.
Can I switch the "main" screen between the two?
And finally, how do I drag from one screen to the other? I remember Windoz had a feature like this, I'm assuming the Macs do also...
Thanks in advance

No problem. You can do all that stuff. Just hook it up, & pay a visit to the Displays Preference Pane, where it will all become obvious. I know, because I just tried it recently with my new MBP.
