Windows drivers for 5k retina display

I bought the new iMac 5K retina and installed Windows 8.1 as a virtual machine. The operation is seamless but when running Windows as a VM the resolution is limited to half that of the OSX. Not even the 3820x18XX is available.
Does anyone know if or when a driver for the full 5K resolution will be available? Obviously Apple has no vested interest in generating one to include in the Bootcamp set of drivers. But perhaps they should, as that might create a more compelling reason to attract Windows users to the Mac machines. They are the best hardware out there.
Cheers

The web is the web. Why anyone would even bother to use a 4k image is beyond me. Load times on that page are going to be awful. The rest is out of your control, anyway. You just don't know which browser will be used and how its scaling options are set nor do you know how the images may be mangled via the CSS formatting or other means like server-side processing. I seriously think you are obsessing over a non-issue.

Searching Windows Drivers for 23" Display

Hi,
I got a 23" Cinema Display and I'm using Windows XP.
There is still a "Default Monitor" shown in preferences. Where do I get the correct drivers, so I can set the frequency to more than 60 Hz?
I would appreciate a download link or something where I can find the windows drivers for the Cinema Display.
Cheers,
Oli

You can try WinACD drivers (google for it). LCD panels aren't like CRT monitors and are supposed to run at 60Hz, so there's no reason or way to change it.

Oh my lord, where can I get windows drivers for Macbook Pro?....

Does Apple really not have any place that I can download Windows drivers for the hardware in my August 2010 Macbook Pro?!? I am trying to use windows through bootcamp, and I am having tons of trouble. I know there are supposed to be drivers in the OSX DVD that came with my computer, but that is all the way back in Maryland and I go to school in Tennessee.
<rant> Sorry if I seem irritated. I just got over a total hard drive crash in this computer that isn't even 2 years old. I have drives that are almost 10 years old in my PC desktop.. The drive that came stock with my Macbook pro was a total piece of crap in comparison to the cheapest notebook drives at Best Buy. Really Apple?? 5400 RPM 8mb Cache Hitachi drive?? *Pukes in mouth* </rant>

Sorry for the rant. This is what happens everytime I have tried. I actually have a booting Windows 7 partition on here already but it is barely running on the stock/generic windows drivers that are just there to get the OS through install.
I have an OSX 10.6 disk, but it is 10.6.0, and I wasn't even able to make that boot into the Mac installer when I installed OSX on the new hard drive. I had to run my Macbook as a Firewire disk plugged into a Mac Pro and install it from there and update to 10.6.8. I think this was because the 10.6.0 install disk doesn't have drivers for my 2010 revision of the Macbook Pro. I doubt that the 10.6.0 disk has the right Windows drivers if it doesn't even have the right Mac drivers.

Better support for iPhone Retina display apps

The iPad display is higher resolution than the iPhone 4. It would be nice if when I use an iPhone app on my iPad that is built for a retina display if it was not downscaled to a non-retina resolution. This would make the apps built for the retina display way more usable on the iPad.
Seems like an easy change. I'm actually surprised it was not included as part of iOS 4.2.1.

Again, that's not how it works. Apple didn't really have to do anything for the iPhone 4 because they're the same screen size. All they did was double every pixel for the iPhone 4 which is what you see when you use 2x mode on the iPad. If the iPhone had a 10" screen, even with the retina display it would look just as blocky as the iPad because of the screen size.
Did you not notice the resolution for iPhone 4 is exactly 2x that of the old iPhones? 640x960 vs 320x480. They didn't do anything special with the iPhone 4 to make the old apps look good, the screen size being the same is what made the difference.
this is all in reference to the iPhone 4 displaying apps not optimised for the retina display.

Why no Windows drivers for Bluetooth Headsets? (bh...

I love my BH-102, it's the best headset I've had, and in fact even want to use it with my PC for things like skype, voice chat etc... whenever I'm home. I was shocked however to find there are no windows drivers for it! Why not? It's a massive additional market to free people from clunky annoying corded headset and mic combos. Does anyone know of any drivers, maybe I just didn't find them?

This is not a problem with the headset but a bluetooth issue in windows, the default microsft bluetooth driver does not support all profiles, you need to make sure you install the proper drivers for your bluetooth chip.
When the proper bluetooth drivers are installed you will be able to pair it properly and then go into settings and select the headset profile.
I also had to change the default speakers to the headset under the windows sound settings.
If you have a laptop the bluetooth drivers is probably on the manufacturers website, if you purchased a bluetooth usb dongle then you probably received a cd with it.

Windows 8.1 pro installation for 13" Retina Display MBP

Dear friends,
When i install Windows 8.1 pro to my macbook pro 13" retina display ME864, all the steps moved correctly but at the end the blue screen with finalizing your setting display came and its continued... i am waiting more than 5 hours.. but its same during this time i switch of directly power button and on but the same display is coming... there is no changes.. please help me what can i do? i am new to apple user

Thanks for the answer, but it solves only half of my problem.
I can get through the installation with the default key. But then I cannot activate the system. It tells me that the key is not valid (well, true, the default key). But how do I get it to recognize the key stored in the computer's firmware?
The Thinkpad has a "Windows 8" license sticker with just the Windows logo but no product key on it. This means, the product key is stored in its firmware memory.

How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

Hi there,
today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

For feedback from experienced users, post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

CS6 Indesign & Bridge for Mac retina display

Will Adobe be releasing an update for Indesign and Bridge (as they have done for Illustrator and Photoshop) to make them suitable for retina displays? Just spent £2000 on a new mac and am seriously disappointed that Indesign and Bridge are fuzzy! I don't have the budget to switch to the cloud just yet so this is a problem for me as a graphic designer! Why would Adobe release updates for Illustrator and Photoshop but not Indesign?

Yes. InDesign CC had somewhere around 30 man years of development put in
to it.
It was re-written completely from the ground up to go 64 bit on Windows
and decarbonized on Mac.

Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?

I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection. I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros. There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue. I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery. I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions? Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.

Sparon,
I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket.

Where can I find a patch for Indesign and Acrobat cs6 for mac retina display?

I have found the patch for screen resolution for photoshop, but the illustrator patch says it is not compatible and I cannot locate one for in-design (my primary program) or Acrobat. There must be a patch, right? Or else whats the point of it?

The patch is upgrading to InDesign CC, which requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Sorry.
There is no Acrobat CS6. The last version is Acrobat XI which was created too late to include support for Retina Display. It will probably be in the next version of Acrobat.
Creating "patches" for Retina Display are much more engineering intensive than you would expect. In the case of InDesign, it had to be completed in the context of moving to becoming a 64 bit application and moving application development from Carbon to Cocoa (a required move on the Mac accomplished finally in InDesign CC).

Windows drivers for 2006 macbook???

I am using a late 2006 macbook with lion on mac partition and i just installed windows xp sp3 with bootcamp,i am having a problem trying to find the drivers for ethernet, wireless, pci and usb device???

If you have a 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk you can try to install them while booted into Windows. Since Lion doesn't support XP or Vista the 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and maybe 3.3 versions are going to be as good as it gets.

Cost for replacement for the retina display on my iphone 4S

I droped my iPhone 4s and theres a large strip of dead pixals on the left edge plus a liquid that has crept over the top left coner of my screen. I also have many arrayed dead pixals across my screen.
I am thinking of replacing the retina display but im not sure how much it will cost.
Does anyone have had this problem or had it fixed?
Thankyou

What are the best settings for a retina display image?

If we Export for Web then view it on a retina display monitor, the image lines look blurry and it's not as crisp as non-retina display monitors.
What are the best settings when intended for retina display monitors while keeping the file size down?
Thanks!

Mark, yes a DVD will play back on a HDTV, just the quality will not match the capability of the playback device. This is certainly the easiest approach though.
As the article you referenced says, ensuring that your previews are set to a larger pixel dimension than your required output will ensure maximum quality, given that you will more than likely have movement on the images in the slide show I would suggest going with pixel dimensions that are at least 1920px.
Let us know how you go.

Recipe for iPAD retina display

Hi,
Does anyone have a 'recipe' for processing photos for the ipad retina display.
I'm a bit confused as to trying to print to jpeg (with what settings?) or export.
I've tried a bit, but not been really happy with the results.
What do you do?
hans

You could also have a read of Jeffrey Friedl's Lightroom-to-iPad workflow: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/ipad-howto2
This is effectively a Publish Service which can publish via FTP directly to a client app on the iPhone, thus bypassing iTunes and the iPad Photos app completely. I converted to this a few months back. Well worth a read.
PS I use exactly the same settings as Rikk, although I first crop all the images (VCs) to 4x3 if possible to ensure they are viewed full screen on the iPad.
