Retina Display-Better Screen or More Pixels?

I make a lot of advertisments, e-mail blasts, web banners, etc. that are viewed on my platforms. Does the higher-quality Retina display actual add more pixels to the screen so a graphic on an iPad 2 with a 1024×768 screen will look different, size wise, on an iPad 3 with 2048×1536?
Just thinking ahead to see if we have to worry how stuff looks like the old days with 640x480 vs. 1024x768.
Thanks for any advice.

The new iPad has 264 pixels per inch whereas the 1 and 2 have 132 ppi. Everything should appear the same size but with double the resolution.

How do you get AirPlay on ipod touch

Is the Macbook Pro Retina display better than the LED display on the new iMac that is coming out?

I am thinking of either buying the Macbook Pro retina display (15") or waiting for the iMac 27" display. I am mainly focusing on the display, so what is better?

Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?
Well there are two or three causes of eyestrain with displays different people seem to have.
1: Small type/UI elements
2: Glossy screens
3: Flicker rate
1:
The higher pixel rate combined with the display set at the higher resolution is going to cause UI and type to be smaller and harder to see. In fact it's advised to set OS X to a lower resolouton so it upscales better to match the pixel of the higher display.
Reports coming in say watching HD 1920 x 1080 trailers on the anti-glare 17" is best as the pixel content matches the display almost fullscreen, where on the MBP-R it's upscaled and thus looks blurry.
HD content makers are NOT going to change all their video cameras to support 2880 x 1800 full screen, so in order to get a clearer image playing HD 1080 content, one will have to do so in a smaller window.
2:
The new MBP-R dispalys are 75% less glossy, but not 100% less glossy like the anti-glare models so this can still cause some people problems. This can be lowered to under 1%, however I'm suspecting to do so would be considered giving up a military advantage to China where Apple gets it products made.
3:
I don't know about the flicker rate if it's better or not on the MBP-R's than the previous screens.

Does LPX fully support retina displays or is there still pixelation issues?

I've been using LP9 for a while now and recently upgraded to the retina display macbook pro which displayed quite a lot of pixelation in LP9. Does LPX fully support retina screens?

There is an Apple document which specifies that key 1 should be used for WEP configuration and recommends using WPA or WPA2 for wireless security: iPad: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections. It's too bad that you didn't find this when you had problems.
The iPad will work with WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES. AES provides much stronger security. There is much misinformation on the Internet on this subject.
WEP is insecure, obsolete and has been deprecated by the IEEE since 2004. There is no chance that Apple or anyone else will waste resources on enhancing WEP implementations. For more information on the tattered history and vulnerabilities of WEP read this: WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
I'm glad to hear that you got your system working. Your post was well-written and might help someone else.

Macbook pro retina display broken screen?

My one week old Macbook pro retina display 13 inch slipped from the bed earlier and I'm not sure what happened but I think the screen broke from the inside? -look at the pictures attached-
I bought it from Oman, in the middle east. And I'm moving to Rochester, New York in two weeks so I've decided to fix it there.
Would this be covered under warranty or will I have to pay? And how much would it cost to get this fixed?

Accidental damage is not covered. Maybe your home owner / renters insurance would cover it?
You can speculate more about cost here:

Dropped MacBook Pro retina display and screen won't work

I accidental just dropped my MacBook Pro with retina display on its left side from about 2 feet. There doesn't appear to be any external damage except for the screen which is just white with some black on the left side. I can change the brightness and everything else appears to work. Any ideas on how to fix it or how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

Oh dear
Call your local Apple Store to get a quote for a repair.
And check your home insurance to see if it's covered (it might be if you have accidental damage cover and you dropped it at home).
If you're not ready or able to afford a repair or replacement, you might be able to keep using your MBP if you connect it to an external display.
I don't know how important portability is for you, but if you would normally only use your MBP in one or two specific places (eg home and work), you could set up one external display in each location.
Good luck!

Ipad with Retina Display - Cracked Screen options

I have the following Ipad:
Ipad with Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi, Apple A6X Dual-Core Processor. It was purchased about 6 months ago from John Lewis with 2 year warranty.
It fell about 2 feet in its case and the screen cracked anyway - frustrating and expensive accident.
Accidental is not covered under any warranty - I understand and realise that. My question is this:
Can I get it replaced for about half the price of the original cost using the Apple 'Out of Warranty' Repair option I have seen mentioned here? Even if I bought it via John Lewis? If so how much is this model to repair (and yes I know this means replace in reality) ? Can I just turn up in my local Apple Store tomorrow and ask for this option? Or do I have to book an appointment? Or can I do it through Apple Live Chat/support? Which would be quickest option? I am going on holiday on Friday first thing and would like to get replacement ASAP to take with me.
Many Thanks for any answers.

IPad mini with retina display flickering screen

I just received my brand new iPad mini with retina display yesterday and today the screen started flickering and would not stop. I've powered it off and did a hard reset..the flickering will not go away. I even completely erased everything off the iPad and reset it using the settings menu. The flickering is still showing on the opening hello screen. Any ideas why this is happening?

I'm having a similar problem as "nickyizdal" and went through the same scenario, as far as erasing everything. Unfortunately, I have gotten this ipad mini a few months now...not sure if updating it to IOS 8.1.3 had anything to do with it, but this issue happened a few days after that update.
Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

Macbook pro retina display SECOND SCREEN pixel failure, out of warranty will apple fix it?

I bought my macbook pro when it first came out, had to have a screen replaced due to pixel failure 7 months later. Now again im having one fail, then another, and now a cluster has failed. My mac is out of warranty but IM ******, I bought a $2700 Laptop to have to change the screen once a year?! this is BS

Maybe you should of bought the Applecare extended warranty. You had all of the first year to buy that.
Now all you can do is go to an Apple store and Ask if it will be changed free of charge and if not you will have to pay for it.

Macbook Pro retina display gray screen on start up

New Macbook pro 1 week old gets a grey screen on startup
Tried to do a safeboot but it stops after 5 lines.
any ideas???

You have a Retina model MBP. It did not come with installer discs. You would use Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

HT4061 My ipad with retina display's screen is broken

May I know how much to replace the screen ?

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

Has there been any updates for CS5 and the MacBook Retina displays? Everything still looks pixelated.

I keep getting errors when trying to update it.

here are the older version updates, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/, but it's not likely that adobe will work on making older versions work with new os'es.

Dead pixel on my mac book pro retina display

Hi, i bought a mac book retina display and has a "dead pixel" I took it to apple's techical support (In Bogota-Colombia) and they told me tscrhat apple's warranty won't cover this issue..is that true? The sad thing is that I'm a designer and i bought this computer because of the screen,it has only 3 months and that dead pixel really bothers me and affects my work....what can i do?

Because it must have more than 7 dead pixels, i'm searching for this policies but I don't find anyhting!

Screen real-estate on the 15" MBP Retina display

The 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display has a remarkable 2880x1800 pixel resolution, compared to the 27" LED display's 2560x1440. Normally, screen real-estate is defined as how much stuff (windows, menu bar items, bookmark lists, etc) you can fit on the screen, with a larger (that is, more pixels) screen being able to show more stuff using its native resolution.
With the MBP's Retina display, the pixels are so small that using its native resolution in the same way as with the 27" monitor should result in, say, really small menu bar items, etc. As a result, the default monitor setting involves scaling, so that something which might normally take up one pixel might get four or eight devoted to it, making it larger and easier to see. Its monitor control panel allows changing that relationship so that everything could be made to appear even larger, resulting in less screen real-estate, or smaller, resulting in more screen real-estate; i.e., lots more stuff can fit on the screen.
My question is whether, at the smallest setting offered, the screen real-estate is the equivalent of, say, a 32" monitor which also has 2880x1800 pixel resolution but is spread over a much smaller physical area, or is the Retina's display still scaled to some smaller equivalent resolution because straight 1 to 1 would simply be too small to be practical? If that's the case, what does the effective resolution work out to be at the smallest setting?
I'm aware that's not a simple question because, for example, I understand that an HD Movie could be displayed pixel for pixel even if everything else outside that window is scaled. Moreover, the use of vector graphics complicates the matter further. But for things like menu lists and word processing documents, can the MBP's Retina display be set to what we understand to be 1 to 1?

actually.... it doesn't.
the 1920 is simulated, and apple doesn't recommend it.
Apple doesn't offer the option of full resolution (2880x1800) and says everything other than 1440 x 900 won't look as good as 1440x900.
so while you can set the monitor to 17" resolution (1920x1080) it has to simulate it on a 2880x900 screen and has to blur and reinterpolate elements to make it work
they've really messed it up for anyone wanting true HD resolution for professional reasons.
Indeed. Everything except 2880x1800, which is unavailable without SwitchResX, and 1440x900, which comfortably fits one pixel of the image into a four pixel square of the Retina Display, must be simulated or scaled. However, while the scaling is real, the 17" "simulation" looks as good, to my eye at least, as my wife's MBP 17". Going smaller will test one's eyes probably as much as Apple's scaling algorithms so the tradeoff for greater screen real-estate may turn out not to be as bad as we'd think. All I need is a MBP Retina Display and SwitchResX to find out...

I have a lap top - pc - 10 yrs old - screen went out - how can I transfer pictures word directly to my Macbook pro retinal display 2013

screen went out on my 10 yr old dell xps m1710 - it appears to still boot - I can't see anything on the screen - I am looking ofr a way to directly access the hard drive pc to pc connection and do direct file transfers - tornado does not work c osx systems yet any otehr device out there? I have a lot of famiily pictures and some word files I want to transfer - nothing heavy. it is a screen/hardware issue not someting I can boot c in safe mode - still can''t see the screen and can't see to use a zip drive - I will need to use my new macbook pro 15 retinal display 2013 screen to "see" the files on the pc.
ideas?
Thanks
mhdmd53 -
usb to usb does not work nor does the tornado device - that is - so far - just pc to pc.

FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

(with the added advantage that since you ain't booting anything off the drive, can turn the Mac on or off at will without risking data corruption on the drive)
