The state of retina support - want a clear and concise answer

Adobe,
I realize that digital publishing is probably a very complex and difficult business, and that you're all very busy to get things working properly, and easily, with the amazing Adobe tools we're all used to. However, I have noticed from the start that you're having a bit of an issue communicating with your customers. We're all paying customers - who rely, at least partly, on the DPS to make a living. The help documentation has always been, in my opinion, lacking, but you're getting there. Getting up and running isn't too much of a problem now (except when trying to do more advanced things, like implementing Newsstand - documentation on that is a bit sparse). However, it seems like there's no help documentation or communication at all on the state of retina support.
I realize that somewhere here, buried in one of these threads, is probably an Adobe employee response that has some useful information. However, I don't want to - and shouldn't have to - scour the forums for this information. The only information I seem to be able to find about it is in the "version 19 release thread". Something about:
"iOS rendition support
The new HD iPad model was recently announced. When you use Viewer Builder to create a new app, you can specify icons and splash screens for alternate sizes. Renditions are enabled for iPad devices, letting you create folio renditions at an alternate size. Each iOS model downloads folios that best match the display of the tablet. Adobe will provide an update to the tools and Viewer Builder as necessary to support new devices. We’ll provide more guidelines once we’re able to test the new iPad model. See Create folio renditions."
Am I to assume this means retina support is up and running? That's what it seems to say, to me. But from what I can tell we can build retina renditions of our issues, but can't build a viewer that actually support them? Anyway, the thread is full of people trying to build retina apps and failing.
The new iPad has been out for a while now, and really, we should have all received an e-mail on the day it was announced (or at least, released), letting us know exactly where we stand. When retina support is coming, what we need to prepare, how to build retina apps, how the workflow is going to work, etc.
At the very least I am now requesting an Adobe employee to please make a sticky thread that is maintened and updated with the latest information, regarding retina support and workflow. Please make a clear overview of what we need to support retina in our apps, which tools we need, what updates we need to apply, what kind of workflow we should use to support retina and non-retina iPads. I may be alone in this, I may not be, but I feel like this is much needed, and I feel like at least this much can be expected of you.
I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rude or overly critical, I don't mean to be. I very much think Adobe is a great company, and I love your software suites. However, I'd prefer not to have to spent hours looking for the information I need buried in forum posts. Having a clear and concise overview of how retina is going to work would save me a lot of time and effort, make the whole experience more pleasant and would allow me to communicate with my customers on what to expect.
With regards,
Salomon Meij.

Looks like I need to use the phrase "retina support" in the documentation. Here are some articles about using DPS to target the iPad 3:

The state of JavaScript support in Director 11

Hi! I asked this question in several places without any
meaningful feedback, maybe someone around here will shed some more
light on this ;) Ok, here it goes:
It looks that Lingo is the most natural choice for many
Director developers. Even though I have nothing against Lingo, I
prefer using JavaScript to it due to my personal reasons. And I
wonder what's the state of JavaScript support in the new Director?
To be honest, I've always had a feeling that JavaScript
script was added into Director MX in the last minute just before
the release ;) Awkward getPropRef(..), absence of some important
methods available in
Lingo(e.g member(0).model("foo")), fatal errors on the every
tiny typo when working with 3d stuff, etc.
Has anything changed in the new Director? And if no, does it
really make sense to use JavaScript in Director at all?
Can someone around tell me of any serious game(like Maid
Marian) using JavaScript instead of Lingo? How fast JavaScript
virtual machine compared to Lingo? I also have a very strong
suspicion that JavaScript can be a cause of memory leaks when used
improperly, especially in case of closures, any tips on this?
Thanks in advance.

I prefer JavaScript to Lingo as well, mainly because I
learned scripting/programming in
C++/Java/C#/ActionScript/JavaScript. I’ve been using
JavaScript syntax exclusively since MX 2004, and while there are
things you have to work around, like not being able to access
models by name, I’ve had great success with it.
I prefer JavaScript syntax OOP in Director to Lingo Parent
scripts. There are some buggy things to deal with; for instance
I’ve had issues with “static” members
mysteriously becoming undefined, but nothing I’ve not been
able to work around. I use a getMemberByName(memberName,
memberType, w3dMember) function to get around the
“can’t get model/texture/shader etc. by name”
issue. Try/catch has been a huge help. I’ve got nothing
against Lingo, and hope future versions of Director continue to
support it because so many long time users like it. However, as I
said, I’ve not used it for years.
I was lucky enough to get a Director 11 Beta 1.0 CD-ROM
because an associate recommended me for it to Adobe. I wasn’t
a true Beta tester per se, and wasn’t asked to abide by any
NDA. In fact, my inquiries into what my
responsibilities/restrictions were to be went unanswered.
That being said, I’m afraid I can’t offer much to
this discussion; I installed the Beta on my laptop (Vista) the day
I got it but had vacation for two weeks a week after that. The Beta
version was essentially a 30 day trial and while I told myself
“I’ll check it out while on vacation” my wife had
other ideas. I did see that there was a JavaScript dictionary that
mirrored the Lingo dictionary in the script editor, but that there
was no color hinting for JavaScript syntax. In fact that was
pointed out in the documentation. I can’t say if this is
still true in the final version. Everything I tried (author time
and runtime) worked well in Vista, whereas I’ve had a few
problems with MX 2004 and Vista.
I’m unaware of any tweaks to the SpiderMonkey engine or
its implementation in Director, and don’t feel my limited use
of the Beta qualifies me as a reliable source of info on the
matter, especially since I wasn’t able to really run it
through the ringer. I can say that during my limited
experimentation I didn’t run into any issues and that
everything ran smooth… no “a fatal error has
occurred” messages like I too often get now.
On the whole I’m feeling very positive about not only
this release but Director’s immediate future. I’m
getting the durn thing the first week it’s out.

I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

The state of ID3v2 support in the Linux console

Being a Windows user that only recently started to gain a genuine interest in adding Linux to my list of proficiencies, my music collection is 90% composed of MP3 files with ID3v2 tags; a sort of expected setup on Windows machines.
I particularly enjoy the more recent ID3v2 -- as opposed to ID3v1.1 -- because this allows me to store the song lyrics withing the music file. Very useful because it simplifies file management, while removing the need to be online, and many windows players (I use foobar2000) can read all the extra fields in the ID3v2 header.
For the past days I've been trying to find a console music daemon or player for Linux that fully supports ID3v2. I haven't been able to do so. For some reason that I cannot understand, the norm is ID3v1.1 support. As I understand, the Linux community tends towards the Ogg format which implies 'Vorbis comment'. Unfortunately, 'Vorbis comment' specifications suggest that type of metadata should reside on a separate stream. Which really doesn't make much sense to me when the data is so intrinsically connected to the file as is the case of music lyrics. But specifications are specifications, so I can understand I won't see many developers willing to break them. What I find curious however is why the lack of ID3v2 support. What has been stopping the community from developing full support?

Indeed foobar2000 is life changing for anyone who comes across it. It's been my player for many years. Excellent news that it is supported under Wine. I don't have the necessary resources to support it under this VMWare setup I'm currently running Arch on. But that will be a probable solution once I fully migrate to a standalone computer. Thanks Orph.
0mark wrote:PS: As far as i know, there is no common semantic to the extra fields. And then, after switching through some player, you may end up with a lot of fields with alien names and data that hat no obvious meaning.
The fields are well defined under the standard. Essentially it is all controlled by a header that specifies content and sizes of each frame. Then the frames follow with said content. As long as a player follows the standard, it's just like any other metadata that needs to be implemented (say, Vorbis).
I'm not really trying to bring a critic here. I confess seeing no support for ID3v2 shocked me. I wasn't expecting that. Instead I trust there's a reason somewhere. It's not of the Linux community in general to squander a standard. Unless... perhaps, there's a general lack of interest because ID3v2 has really only been fully implemented by the MP3 format and this format is proprietary?

I want to return to the previous version. I want my toolbar and other features on 3.6

I don't like the new version. I want my toolbar back along with all all the urls saved on de.li.cious. I've wasted hours looking for my stuff via the new version. I want to go back to the previous version.
Please, please,please!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Bought my iPad in the states, moved to Thailand for a year and now back in states. iTunes thinks I'm still in Thailand when I try to download a movie using Netflix. Any advice how to fix?

When I click on the "Get Netflix App" button, iTunes opens with the following error message, "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the Thai store." Would like iTunes to recognize I'm in the states, not Thailand.

Try this:
1. App Store>Featured>Apple ID (at bottom of page)
2. Tap on Apple ID>View Apple ID
4. Enter your password
5. Country/Region>Change Country or Region

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 for work under the same apple ID ( dont want 2 IDs) and I'd like to keep them separate from each other.When I receive phone calls and message they both get them and so does apps,how do I break the link between them?

I just my two phones to act as two separate entities and not being linked together and I don't want to create 2 apple IDs. one is for work and the other private, I don't want my private phone to get work related material and vise et versa.

As I stated in my question that I do not want 2 Apple accounts, I already have one with all my private information and it should be good enough regardless how many devices. I didn't tried the iCloud but I don't think I actually had it setup.

Photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable..." Clear and concise support needed.

Running iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2
Running MBP Version 10.7.4
When attempting to open iPhoto, or when iPhone is connected, I received the following message:
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" Followed by advice to restart iPhoto while hold down option and command keys.
That didn't work although I tried it several times.
But I did find advice here that did work, so I restarted iPhoto while holding down the 'Option' key and followed the prompts to open a blank library. iPhoto opened up and I was able to import files from a memory card no problem.
Here's my question, is there a procedure to follow to import the photos that are currently on my Mac? I don't want to proceed any further without knowing what I'm doing. I know this is a common problem (according to the discussions I'm seeing) but I really don't want to mess around without sound advice.

Try repair the damaged Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
