iOS 5.1 with Xcode 4.2 and retina in iPad 3

@WrightCS’s answer handles the part about the images perfectly well.

However, you can get the simulator and SDK to run on Snow Leopard.

  1. Download Xcode version 4.3.1 bypassing the AppStore from here http://developer.apple.com/downloads
  2. Open up the package and copy

    /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Develop‌​er/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk
    to 
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk
    
  3. Copy

    /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceS‌​upport/5.1
    to
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1 (9B176
    
  4. Copy

    /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/‌​Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk
    to 
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.1‌​.sdk
    

Adapted from here.

Edit: Get your iPad Retina on by copying

/Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app
to
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone Simulator.app`
