Website Issues with Retina Displays

An apple rep stated, that “Yes, some websites are not very clear when viewed with a retina display.” He wouldn’t elaborate further. So, is this a problem? If it is, how major of one is it?
Also, is there a real difference between the retina display and a high-res non-glare display?  I really like non-glare displays. This apple rep also admitted that although there is less glare in the new retina displays than the previous high-res screens, they are still not as ‘non-glare’ as the older MBP ‘non-glare’ screens.  What’s your opinion about this?  No one really likes any glare if they can get away with it. But is the retina display really a big deal?

I have not had any issues with web sites. Be aware that if a web site is coded to be 1024 pixels wide and you have your screen resolution set at 2880 wide then the page will be very small and the text unreadable. So you will have to decide what is the best resolution for you. I have mine set at 1920x1200 pixels and all web sites seem to work well.
There is a noticeable difference between the retina and the glossy screens. About 70% less glare according to Apple. Seems right from my experience.
You should go to an Apple store and check out the display for yourself.

  • Anyone else have difficulty using third party software and websites with the new MacBook Pro with retinal display?

    I just returned my new Mac book pro with retinal display after three very disappointing three weeks of trying to use certain websites and other third party programs (Quickbooks, Raintree) that would not function properly.  My husband own the previous MacBook Pro version with the built in CD rom and I was able to use those above mentioned websites and problems with the no difficulties.  Did I just happen to get a lemon or is this a function of the computer being too new for third party software?

    Programs such as Quickbooks pro for Mac, I was able to import my previous data and I was able to enter about 5 new transactions before it stopped being able to save transactions.  Other programs ( Raintree ) that I use via VM software as a windows based program I was able to access and use some features but not others.  On the web browsers (both safari and Mozilla) I use a website that has an analyzer feature and it would pull up a blank screen in the place where I would enter pertinent information.  They tried pulling this website at the apple store today and the same issue happened.  All these programs and website I am able to access and run smoothly with no issues on my husbands MacBook Pro , which is why I returned my MacBook.  I just wondered if others were experiencing similar issues with their MacBook with retinal display. 

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • Configure New TM on a New Macbook pro with retina display Issue

    I have bought a new New Macbook pro with retina display laptop (Lion moutain OS)and a new TM (2TB).
    I have an internet router with wireless connect.
    I plugged TM to the router with an ethernet cable.
    Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
    then I choose Time capsule from WiFi as shown below:
    Then the airport utility (version 6.1) opened and start configuring TM but it gives an expected error when it is starting to join the TM!!!!
    I have reset the TM several time but with no hope.
    PS: I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
    I am struggling on this issue for weeks and I cannot yous TM on my macbook pro.
    Help please.

    Time Capsule .. TC is the hardware box you bought.. Time Machine is the software you use in the Mac computer.. so what you generally refer to as TM is really TC.. !!
    I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
    That is great.. you do not need to setup the Time Capsule at all then. It is already setup.. forget using 6.1 utility.. it is useless toy version.
    Just use it.. open Time Machine and see if you can connect to the TC drive to do backup.. and to the wireless.
    From your statements..
    Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
    You are trying to connect with both wireless and ethernet at once.. This can mess things up. choose wireless or ethernet.. not both.
    If you keep running into issues.. reset the TC.. I know yet again.
    Set it up using SMB names.. for both the TC itself and wireless.
    Then lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. use channel 1, 6, or 11 (13 in europe) and see how it goes.

  • Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

    Hello,
    Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
    I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
    My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
    On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
    http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
    (Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
    Please fix this issue.
    Andrey

    Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

    Hi I have only 2 days in USA to buy Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display. The issue here is that I'd like to get the westerns spanish keyboard and at the apple store the guy said it will take 6 days. I was wondering if I do the purchase within the express checkout, Will I be able to get the laptop before leaving NY on the 7th of May 2014?
    I do not have any experience with the express checkout, actually I do know how it works, any advice please?
    Thanks!!!!

    Call the store on the telephne and ask. However, I doubt it since a store would not normally have an item with non-USA features
    Also, this is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum

  • Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the  dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash.  If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
    I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR.  Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep.  If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep. 
    I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR.  I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
    Tom

    Thanks for responding.  Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery .  Other sound effects play promptly.  I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.

  • Can I ask apple store to replace my MBP with Retina display? because I have the ghosting issue with it!

    I bought my MBP with Retina display less than two months ago and now I have this problem which the ghost of the application that was open, remains on the background.
    I took the device to apple store and they decide to change a harware of it!! now I just feel like it is no going to be repaired.
    just wanna know despite that 14 days of purchase date has passed, can I ask apple to replace the whole device and give me a new one or not!

    you can ask them, but they are not obligated to fulfill your request.  They are obligated to fix any issues related to defective craftsmanship as long as your mac is under warranty however.

  • Ipad mini with retina display and iOS 8.0.2 blue screen issues

    Hello
    My iPad mini with retina display with iOS8.0.3 is still showing up blue screen occasionally every day and restarting automatically. How to solve this?

    Hi!
    I am facing the same issue too. But how come you have 8.0.3 while the whole world is on 8.0.2 ?
    I tried resetting my iPad, restoring it, hard reset through DFU mode but NONE worked. It seemed to be okay for few days but then it started getting the blue screen restarts again.
    Monday is the day, hoping 8.1 will fix this issue. ELSE Apple should shut the f*** up and instead of releasing all new line of products and concentrate on the disastrous OS it is rolling out.
    Regards
    Yasser
    (FYI even as I am typing this response to you, there were many errors that held me from typing, the iOS 8 is so buggy)

  • IPad Mini with Retina Display's Volume Down button sticks, have to press really hard to make it unstick and then decrease volume level. Anyone else seeing this issue?

    When trying to press the physical down volume button on my iPad mini with Retina Display, it sticks making you have to press really hard before it unsticks then allows you to decrease the volume level. Not sure if this is a common issue and not sure if its worth a genius appointment but it does seem to be getting worse. Anyone having this issue or know a fix? Thanks

    Thanks for letting me know, I will have AppleCare arrange a replacement rather than getting a new retail box. I find the replacements are usually better quality when it is a new product. The AppleCare team said they wouldn't be sending a refurbished/repaired handset this early which gives me some confidence.
    My home button does feel different and definatley sounds different but from what people have said this is normal. Someone posted a video of their and it was the same as mine so I'm not concerned.

  • IPad mini with retina display and airplay issues?

    Hey guys, So i bought an iPad mini with retina display last week. Have an ipad 3 at home that we've been using before that. For some reason, using Airplay from the Mini doesnt seem to work properly. I use the same apps (Dailymotion, Youtube and a few links online) on the iPad 3 and they work fine. But whenever i use in my mini, the video stops after a few mins. it stops playing on the tv, and continues on the ipad. Is anyone else having the same problem? BTW all my devices have up to date software so that is not an issue i think . .Be good to get some help/ feedback /suggestions about this . Thanks

  • MacBook Pro with Retina Display Rosetta Stone Issues
