Tip when using Retina Display on iPad3

Thought someone else on here may find this handy and not sure how common knowledge this is (new to me!)
I'm currently porting across an app specifically for the iPad3. So I wish to update to the retina display dimensions 2048/1536. As I'm using Flash CS5.5 and previewing, updating the stage dimensions to the new retina dimensions is quite unsuitable as my monitor resolution doesn't go that high. So I can't even see the entire AIR preview window.
Rather, using StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT automatically matches my previously 1024/768 app without having to update x, y, width, height etc properties. RequestedDisplayResolution is also set to high in the descriptor xml. When retina compatiable images are loaded in, I simply half their width/height. This seems to keep them high quality when in retina. Yet I can continue to test in the Flash IDE.
Obviously how handy this is would be dependant on the complexity/conditions of your app. Though from a dev time point of view, for me upsizing related bitmaps, then halving them in the IDE/Code was a lot quicker than other methods.

I have the same problem, it's not possible for me to quickly make web design mockups in PS CC on a Macbook Pro retina.
I'm wondering why Adobe can't add this feature already supported by Sketch:
"Do you want to use these to see the document at the same size but with more detail, or do you want a pixel-accurate rendering at a much smaller size?"
This way it would be possible to use PS in webdesign without having to work at 200% zoom (not ideal really)

Scratch removal tips for MBP Retina Display

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to remove scratches from the surface of the palm rest on the MBP with Retina Display? One is quite superfical however the other is deep!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If it is new, take it back to where you purchased it and seek an exchange for a product with a working display. If you bought it from Apple there is a 14 day return period. Other retailers may have different policies.
If you want that machine repaired it will take time. If you can't do without the machine, an exchange is your best option.
Should you decide on a repair, contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook Pro in to an Apple retail store or service provider.
Best of luck.

CPU is very hot when using Thunderbolt display and mac attached USB hard drive for TimeMachine

Hello,
i've bought the new MacBook Pro 15" and a Thunderbolt display. Everything works fine for me due to the latest updates, but i experience an issue which i really don't understand. When i connect an usb hard drive for TimeMachine to my display it works like expected (CPU has a temperature of 64°C), but when i connect it to an usb port of the mac while using my display the CPU temperature goes crazy (spikes about 80°C) and it gets very noisy. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
May this has something to do with the dual graphics adapter and how the system handles the data stream to thunderbold ports and usb devices? Which graphics card is used for the external display, the internal gpu or the adapter from ati? I've googled a lot but haven't found appropriet answers about these questions.

Hi there ulairi9!
I understand how this would be a frustrating issue! I have an article here that can provide some troubleshooting steps for you, and can hopefully help you resolve the issue. That article specifically addresses the issue you are experiencing, and can be found here:

Hyperlink not working in presentation mode when using alternate display

Made hyperlinks to jump from slide x to slide y
That worked fine when testing in presentation mode
When the same file is played using a beamer as alternate display the hyperlinks are not recognised: clicking will start the next build of the presentation

Is there anybody who successfully used a hyperlink to jump from slide A to slide Y? (and when using the beamer as an alternate display, using the macbook pro screen for the presentation notes)
If so, I can try to find out what I do wrong, otherwise it might be a bug in Keynote'08
thanks for your attention in this matter!!

Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

Close the macbook pro when using external display

Hi
I would like to know if is recomended to close the laptop when using an external display? i ask because i read somewhere that the system take ventilation through the keyboard? is better to work with the laptop always open? or doesn't matter if is closed?

Third opinion...
I had a 2.16GHz 15" MacBook Pro that I used as a presentation machine at some trade shows in '07 and I once ran the machine with the lid closed, hooked up to an overhead projector looping a movie for 11 hours. When I finally shut it down for the night the machine was pretty warm (it was well ventilated) and was immediately usable. Out of curiosity the next day I ran it with a lid slightly cracked and the unit was significantly warmer at the completion of my day.
The only thing I could justify as the temperature difference is that the LCD was on and causing heat in addition to the video card. I guess I would have been curious to leave the lid slightly cracked and then manually set the backlight to off.

No Audio for Remote User when using Thunderbolt Display

I have the latest 13" macbook pro with a thunderbolt display. For the most part everything works fine, but I have encountered a problem when I try using facetime with this setup. The remote user cannot her my voice.
I have gone to the sound setting in system preferences and I have made sure that the sound inpur device is set to Display Audio, and it appears that the microphone is working (the bars are fiickering when I talk), still, I cannot be heard by the remote.
I have tried to capture a movie with the display's camera and mic, and that works fine.
Unplugging the display an using the laptop only also works fine.
I used the same setup with Skype, and the sound worked fine.
The probem appears to be with FacetTime and the Thunderbolt Display
Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

I am having the same issue with my 13" MB Pro Retina and my 27" ThunderBolt display. So far I haven't been able to find a solution to the problem.

How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

I looked into this a little more carefully. It's not the Guest account. It clearly indicates "Managed".
Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

When using multiple displays, is it possible to only have full screen zoom (universal access) only effect one display?

I am visually impaired which makes it difficult for me to use computers. The zoom feature in Mac OS is extremly useful to me and is the first reason I choose mac over windows. Although, now that I've been using a mac for 8 years, I would pick a mac any day! For my work flow, I utilize two displays. It would help me greatly if there was a way to only effect one display with the zoom feature.
Thank you for your input,
Zachary

You can set the zoom to ONLY follow your mouse (And adjust the size of the "zoom window" that follows it). I used to use this with Quick time Editing when I had a 13" iMac.

When using presenter display, my videos are jumpy. Why?

Hello: I just upgraded to Keynote 3 and am having a nightmare. I use the Presenter display mode so I can see the next slide, (no mirroring) and use a lot of Quicktime video clips in my engagements. In Mirroring mode they run smoothly. In the presenter display mode they stop every second for half a second - making the video extrememely irritating to watch. It worked perfectly in Keynote 2. It 's not the projector - I've tried it on seven projectors that I used prior to Keynote 3 and it happens on all of them. I've tried using different resolutions, different refresh rate modes, etc. Nothing make it work right.
I do 100 speaking engagements a year. HELP! Don't make me go back to PowerPoint!

I have been having the same problem both in KN2 and in KN3. I am a speaker as well and I use about 25 QT videos in my keynote presentation. When I go back and view the QT files outside KN I still have jumpy, choppy parts of my videos. The weird part is that the the videos are choppy at different sections and then they will be fine for a week. I am stumped and from what I see so is Apple. Apple has replaced 2 logic board and I have spent hours on the phone with tech support and still no idea. All I know if about 15,000 people have seen the apple at the front and seen the choppy video and as you can guess all the PC guys always mention how choppy the video was. Not good promo for Apple.
I am interested to see if anyone has any answers to this.
Thanks
Brett

A tip when using Faces

Here's a tip that I discovered, but could find nowhere in the discussions or Manual or any other source—
When you come to Confirm Faces for a name, you often see faces for people that you know, but they have been suggested for the name you are now looking at. Control-Click on the face for the other person and you get three choices—accept, reject, name—choose "name", and you get an empty naming box with a cursor. Just type in the name for that picture, and Enter, and that picture goes away and you can continue looking through all the suggested faces for the original name. A very quick way of giving names to suggested faces, without leaving the Confirm Faces window.

Hope that works for people but after so many hours of wasted time identifying faces, my Faces tip is:
Only work in Faces at the Project level, not the Library level.
Use "Confirm Faces" to confirm the faces that belong to the one you are working on reliably and ignore the other options and methods to identify the faces suggested as the changes do not seem to be permanent.

How to get W530 laptop to use only the Quadro GPU when using 2 display panels?

QuestionI just purchased a W530 and it has both video card - Quadro 1100M and Intel Graphics 4000 graphics.
From the control panels for each of the graphics cards it seems that the laptop display is connected to the Intel Graphics card whereas the Quadro is connected to my external monitor. Is there a way to configure this setup so that the laptop display uses the Quadro as well just like the external monitor does?
AnswerUnfortunately the Optimus set up is that no matter which card is used, the Intel HD4000 card powers the display.
However, if you want to always use the nVidia discrete card, you can turn optimus feature off in the BIOS by setting the Graphics setting to "Discrete". Please bear in mind that this will drain the battery very quick if no power AC adapter is attached.

The Bios trick does the job, however then you will be stuck with a really low cpu speed on battery power unless you disable the cpu speedstep from bios. I had the w530 with quadro 2000m for two years and i had the optimus disabled since day one. The battery last little over two hours with optimus disabled, if you also disable speed step then you only have about an hour of battery power. I had to do this a few times when i had to render something quickly out of media encoder with battery power.

Sleep issue when using external display

I use my macbook(lid closed) with an external apple cinema 20" display. When I wish to put the computer to sleep, when I will not be using it for a while, I click on the sleep menu item either in the drop down finder menu or by clicking on sleep from the menu that appears when I touch the display button. I have had erratic reponse from doing this using both methods of putting the system to sleep. Sometimes the macbook goes into sleep mode and sometimes it turns the display and system back on after a short pause following the activation of the sleep button.

Do you use a wireless mouse or keyboard?
I had the exact same problem with both my mini and my old ibook G4. Try unplugging one peripheral at a time from your usb ports to pinpoint which (if any) is causing the problem. This can take a while if the problem is intermittant like you say!

When connecting wired my router straight from my internet provider I get speeds in the 90mps range. Now when connecting wired through my airport extreme I get speeds near 10mps. Also when using wireless for my ipad3 I recieve download speeds of .63mps.

When connecting, wired, to my router from my ISP I get speeds in the 90mbps range. Then when connecting, wired, to my Airport Extreme I get speeds of 10mbps. Wirelessly I get download speeds of 6mbps on my laptops and only 1mbs with my Ipad3. I am making sure only one device is sharing the network to make sure to get accurate results. Why are things so slow?

Hi Ty,
First, check with you ISP to see what speed they've promised. In my case, they indicated that the speed should be greater than 50 Mbps. If they say that it should be significantly higher than what your getting, then try the following if you're using Airport Utility v.6.:
1. Open the Airport Utility (Desktop: Command+Shift+U to open Utility Folder, select Airport Utility)
2. Click on the visual representation of the Airport Extreme and then select "Edit" (bottom right corner)
3. When the window opens (to a tab "Base Station"), click on the "Wireless" tab,
-it should have the following options: Network Mode, Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, Wireless Password, Verify Password, a checkbox with "Enable Guest Network", and a button "Wireless Options..."]
4. Select "Wireless Options", which should open another window with the following options:
5Ghz network name, Country, a checkbox with "Create hidden Network", Radio Mode, 2.4 GHz Channel, and 5 GHz Channel [both of which can stay on "Automatic"]
5. Clicking on "Radio Mode" will bring up a list in which the las option should read:
802.11n only (5Ghz) - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz)
Once you click "Save", your router will blink amber for a little while and then it should work.
Hope this helps. Let me know if it does/doesn't.

p.s. I apologize if the directions were excessively explicit, but I was thinking about my 73 year-old mother trying to follow them, so I erred on the side of making them more understandable. Good luck.
