Why is text, icons and pictures pixelated on my retina macbook?

I have a late 2012 retina macbook pro 15.4 inch. I have the nvidia 650m 1gb card. all mac icons and webpages look great except some icons, when I open a file and I am browsing for the icons for pictures, txt files or video are pixelated and of poor quality.
Like if i use "open" on photoshop and I am browsing for photos it has every thumbnail and icon pixelated, and it does this everywhere, not just photoshop.
Also in photo shop, text and signatures for my photography business are all pixelated even the actual picture until i zooom in.
What is going on?

If restarting your computer does not clear things up....
Call AppleCare.  You are still under warranty.

  • Why is text garbled and overlapped when I paste in Flash

    Why is text garbled and overlapped when I paste in Flash from other sources. The documentations suggests you can paste and text will fill columns automatically but I just get a clump of text in a very small space.

    Thanks a lot. It was the leading. It wasn't negative but it needed to be a lot higher. I really appreciate the help!!

  • Saving text messages and pictures when resetting

    I want to reset my iPhone to factory default because one of my buddies jailbroke it and I hate the jailbroken version. It's slow and annoying. Is there a way for me to save all of my text messages and pictures, reset the phone to factory default, and then put all the texts and pictures back on?

    You can import the photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll as with any other digital camera and then transfer the photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process as with any other photos on your computer's hard drive that you want available on your iPhone for viewing.

    The same does not apply to text messages. The only way to transfer text messages back to an iPhone restored with iTunes is to restore from the iPhone's backup, and you can't select which data that is included with the iPhone's backup that is transferred to the iPhone. It is all or none with the iPhone's backup.
    There are 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting messages from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer.

    SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.

  • Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

    The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

    I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

  • Why has Firefox suddenlhy and permanently stopped working on my MacBook Pro?

    Firefox launches and runs for 3-4 seconds, then hangs for 3-4 seconds, then crashes. I have uninstaled and re-installed Firefox "clean" with the same results. I have started in Safe Mode with the same result. I have uninstalled Flash Player, same result. I have downgraded to Flash 10, same result. I am attaching the troubleshooting Information as well as the latest crash report.

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
    #Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.

  • ITunes icon and App Store missing from my MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I just changed my MacBook Pro hard drive but I now have a problem with iTunes and the App Store.
    iTunes is opening and working correctly but the icon for it is a notepad with a pen. I tried to download the new version and install it but it is still the same.
    The App Store has a question mark as an icon and doesn't open at all. When I clic on it, the icon is not even bouncing.
    Please help me resolve this problem.
    Thanks
    Julie

    this might or might not work for you...i had something similar happened to me once when my icons and apps got switched around word became excel and excel became itunes.....etc....
    what i did was verify my disk permissions - errors were found - i repaired them and when the repair was done, i restarted my macbook and everything was back to normal.
    again, not sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot...
    good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

  • Why is the sound being played back on my retina macbook pro?

    I bought a 13inch retina macbook pro on friday last week. I use Skype daily and chat with friends but I am having an issue. Lets say I am on Skype and chatting with people and I listen to music or watch youtube video at the same time the call is going. The person on the other line of skype can hear what ever is going on clear as day. I ALWAYS use my apple earpods while on skype and listening to music. I had a 13inch 2010 macbook pro and it never did this while on skype and listening to something. I took it back to bestbuy where I bought it thinking it was just defect and they replaced it for me, but this computer is doing the same. Is there a defect or something? I want to know becuase this is exreamly annoying.

    He's talking about it happening when he's using headphones, that is not normal.
    In your system preferences, under sound, in the last tab, use the test microphone function to find out whether Mountain Lion itself is causing you to hear things back or if Skype is sending your audio playthrough to the person your in a video call with.

  • I recently updated my new iPhone by plugging it in to my laptop. However, it erased all of the texts, contacts and pictures associated with my phone prior to the update. How do I get that information back?

    I owned an iPhone 4s a year ago before I unfortunately lost it. I have since then bought the iPhone 5 but had not plugged it in to my computer yet to download any music. I plugged in my iPhone today to my laptop and my iTunes store stated that it registered that it was a new iPhone and asked if I wanted to restore or update my new iPhone with the information that was backed up on my old one. I chose yes, that I did want to restore the old information in to my new iPhone. However, now that I did that, my new iPhone does not have any of the contacts, texts or pictures that I had already on my new iPhone.
    I desperately want my information back that was lost on my new iPhone when I updated the phone. Is there any way to get those pictures and information back? I logged in to my iCloud account and it still did not help get my pictures, contacts or texts back.

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • What Flash Add on software is the best to create amazing text effects and picture animation?

    I'm new to web design but fairly good with Adobe products. I currently have Flash CS4/CS5  but I'm looking for some addon or third party software that I can use to create some great text effects in Flash along with some cool picture effects (spinning around, moving in, pausing, them moving off the screen).
    Any ideas on which suites would be the best?

  • All icons and pictures are negative like.  How do I fix?

    How do I fix iPad when all my pictures And icons look like negatives?  Colors that do show are opposites ex. Green is orange .

    That is one of the accessibility functions ('White On Black' or 'Invert Colours' depending upon the iOS version). Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that changes it back, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
