Retina Display: Does it help with reading e-books?

Hey guys, I was reading about how the new iPhone/iPod has a retina display and I just read that the new iMac has a 5K Retina Display quality, BUT I've never seen these screens in real life. Do these screens make reading e-books easier or better?
My current screen for my Mac Mini is a Dell LED at a resolution of 1080P. How would this compare to an iPhone with a retina display or the iMac with 5K? How do I compare them in terms of numbers???

If I were to buy a 5K screen like from Dell or Acer, could my Mac Mini power it?

Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
"iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
Any ideas?

I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks. I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem. They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago! I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again. I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
PS. I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25

View images at 100% in photoshop on retina display does not work...

using photoshop:
I have a 15" new macbook retina display. If I want to view a photograph at 100% it does not 'size up'.
for example, If I open the same image on my desktop iMac, I see the image in all its 100% glory, so I can work on it in photoshop.
If I view 100% on retina display the image is tiny ( not 100% )
I never had this problem on my older macbook, so why is it happening and can it be fixed?
My first though was that because there are 'more' pixels, the image is 100% BUT looks smaller on screen for some reason due to pixel count...
Thank you in advance for any help!
cheers

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Advice on Retina Display buy after unhappiness with 13" MBP

i am hoping to buy a new retina display macbook pro soon and would like to only get a 13" sized model but i was extremely unhappy with the performance of my 2009 13" which will be out of applecare warranty in about two months.
is there any way to get a handle on "how high" i have to go with my purchase and what to focus upon? i mean, i understand that i want to get as many cores as possible and that i want to get as fast a processor as possible and that the independent graphics card is on the 15" and not on the 13" but i really don't work a lot on my laptop all that much or all that intensively. OTOH, the current lappy is not so happy for some reason.
i have adobe creative suites 5.5 on my 2006 mac pro and i have parallels 8 and some CAD software that i need to use in windows on the mac pro but i really, really don't do a lot of work with my laptop and have still been quite unhappy despite putting a full 8 GB in this machine about a year or a year and a half into buying it.
is there a way to make an intelligent decision on where to spend my money on a new machine without being totally paranoid and thinking i have to buy the top of the line 15" with respect to all of the above options (and spending 3K on a machine i don't use very intensively)? i mean, i may go to a conference once every two years and want to work in CAD in parallels but other than that i am almost strictly on the Mac Pro for anything moderately intense.
fwiw, i would like to go with the retina display as it is the most current technology.
TIA

Hardware does fail occasionally, but part of why I would take mine to an Apple Store would be for an opinion on whether the problem was hareware or software. Since it has been less than a year since your bought your MBP-R, it is still under warranty, just not eligible for free phone assistance. If you have neither an Apple Store nor a trusted repair facility available to you, that will make it tougher.
Do I understand you to say this only happens after it has been asleep for a longish time? You can keep it from happening by waking it up sooner or by shutting down when you expect to be away for a longer time? I'm not sure what that tells us, but it in interesting.
Do you by any chance have a bootable copy of your system on an external disk? Preferrably one that was made before you started experiencing the symptoms. If so, does the MBP-R present the same symptoms when booted from that copy?

IFilter for Windows 7 64-bit -- does it come with Reader, or is download required?

I'm setting up a new Windows 7 (64-bit) system. Windows Indexer shows PDF file types as selected for indexing, but says "Registered IFilter is not found". I looked around and apparently PDF IFilters for 64-bit Windows used to be separately downloaded but now come with Reader (says this page: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611). I have the latest Reader (9.3.4) installed, yet apparently Indexing can't find the IFilter.
What should I be doing to get Windows Indexing to include PDF contents?

I have not been able to get the iFilter to work on my Win7 Pro x64 laptop. The official response I got from Adobe on Sept. 21, 2010, was that it has not been tested on the Windows 7 platform. I even bought the Acrobat 9.x Standard upgrade to my version 8 and it didn't help.

5k retina display - scroll not working with Safari (both magic mouse and trackpad)

Hi,
suddenly my trackpad and magic mouse stopped working with scrolling (most annoying one) and other gestures.
I recently bought the iMAC 5K retina display and was not expecting this by any means...
I have a ton of tabs open on safari and simply "refuse" to try the old windows way of rebooting the machine...
I have to use the arrow keys to scroll down... this is insane
could you please advise? am I missing something?
many thanks

Just found out the reason I couldn't get the two to play nicely. I had connected my keyboard and trackpad using a "Magic Wand" which looked great. Unfortunately the magic wand had a connecting piece to fill in the gap between the two pieces and this was preventing the little pads underneath the trackpad clicking. So I can only guess that because the trackpad couldn't click it thought it was stuck and therefore also locked up the mouse. I've remove the connector and both pieces work perfectly together!

Brand new macbook pro 2012 (no retina display) 95% battery health with 5 cycles? is that okay?

I know, another battery related question. I have recently bought a brand new macbook pro (no retina display), I calibrated the battery at least twice since Ive had it and it states that I am at 95% battery health with only 5 charges. Is that normal or should I bring my macbook in to be checked? Id like to get this settled before school starts in September since I depend on my macbook a great deal.
thanks !

Full cycle? 100%, of course.
How you get there is another matter. It can be a battery killing full discharge that will certainly ensure a brief life. Or a leisure set of discharges down to 20%, 30% or more. When they all sum up 100%, winner! You've got a cycle!!
Apple recommends you enjoy your Mac and don't obsess too much on battery stuff. Just exercise the electrons every so often by bringing it down to, say, 20% and charge it back up. Going all the way down to the bitter end, when the Mac forces itself to sleep is sort of ok too and won't do (too much) damage, provided you don't make it an engrained habit. We all forget the power brick occasionally and get caught out in the wild with whatever charge was left inside.

IPad Retina Display Leaves Me Disappointed with Normal Vision

Hi, I just got the new iPad, and I've been using the retina display in the dark. Doing so has left me with a major problem, though. This display is literally the best thing I have ever seen. I can't stop looking at it. Looking at non-retina-display objects is now boring and unsatisfying. Will this feeling last forever?

I dunno -- with my 52 year old eyes, I see absoltuely no difference between the Retina Display, the old iPad2, or the reality of the world around me.

If you think your new iPad has a problem with the display Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display did not come with an "iWorks" app.

As I read the specification of my Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display, my laptop, it states that Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display comes with Pages, Keynotes, and Numbers, app for free along with "iLife" apps. But Apparently my laptop didn't come with "iWork". Is there anyway I can I get it for free, or should I buy it in app store to have it?

Hi Astronap,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iWork applications for Mac including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers. The specific information from the articles I have pulled out for you, but is located in the smaller print toward the bottom of the article.

Need help with read/write to MODBUS RTU registers in Labview 8.0

I’m trying to write and read the registers in G3800xx016. controlling temperatures and lightning. Please look at the attached pdf file for this unit..
I have used Lookout for about three years, and it works fine.. Now I want to expand my system and try to use Labview 8.0
My temperature register start adress is 100 Hex (256 dec) I read from Register with Function code 03.
This register have values from 0-255 witch mean in labview for me as unsigned byte U8
I read my temperature from the register like this: eks.: 40257 lets say value=5
Slave    FC       Start Adress     Byte     Value               CRC
01        03        0100                02        0005                7847
This is the status received from the Modbus tester when I use null-modem connection..
I receive the same value if I use Modscan32
I have used null-modem cable to read out the values.
I have also PIR detectors that control movements and light of and on, and I read these starts at 40017.1
01   03     0010     02
The register to switch on and of heating and lights starts at 404097.1 FC16
Values mention here is read from Lookout 5.0
I have tried examples and read for weeks about this, but everything stops when I try to use Labview 8.0    I can’t read any values from my Master unit, neither write to it, or read any values in Modbus testers when I use null-modem cable.. I have tried different baud rates in my serial connection and it works perfect in Lookout, but Not Labview..
I have even bought DSC module, but I can’t write to either com ports or Modbus testers..
Please anybody… is there anybody that can give me help with this??
Start address for for PIR detectors is 40017.1 (FC03) and for writing bits for on of to light and heatsystem is 404097.1 (FC16)
I would be very happy for any idea that can give me some positive results… Look at the attached pdf file.
Thanks.. and very best regards from
Benjii…

Hi... and thanks for your answer..
Yes, I have downloaded the NI Modbus drivers.. I have downloaded that one + a lot of other things about Modbus..
I have also tried communication between lokout and labview true null-modem cable.. and it works..
I have tried several Modbus examples and I communicate with most of them with null-modem cable.
I write to the right registers as well, cause I use Modbus scanner to read the information..
I have used the same settings for serial communication as my Master device use, bust still I can't get any response..
There was an error message in one of my example from the Modbus INIT module.. Maybe I should try to set up a new connection using VISA ??
Maybe the problem is to INIT my serial port? I have tried restarting my computer after closing my system.. But still, I have the same problem..
I hope you can give me any idea...
Thanks again.. by the way.. is it possible to write and read directly to serial port with the DSC module?? If so.. how??
Very best regards..
Benjii..
