After cleaning macbook screen with iKlear, bubbles appeared...

The other night I cleaned my macbook's screen with iKlear solution. After I cleaned it I noticed about 20 very small air bubbles that had formed on the screen. When you rub the iKlear cleaning cloth over the screen you can distinctly hear the sound that air bubbles make when you move something over them...I know for a fact that this is not dirt/saliva on the screen.
This isn't a huge problem for me but these bubbles are noticable at certain angles which gets annoying.
Anyone have the same problem or have sugestions on how I can fix this problem?
Thanks!

I see no need to use anything beyond a bit of water
on a microfiber cloth. This combo always cleans my
MB screen perfectly. The manual doesn't lie
YUP, works perfectly. Just water.
To get a decent cloth that is a very large size and is cheap, washable, just purchase an automotive detailer's microfiber cloth pack. About five in a pack for $5.00 or so.
GM sez that to clean mirrors and glass interior to rub in only ONE direction with a damp (not wet) cloth. Works perfectly on my MacBook. My LCD is just as shiny clean as it was from the box.

  • I cleaned my screen with method glass and surface cleaner and now the color is off.  What can i do?

    I cleaned my screen with methid galss and surface cleaner and now the color is off on my screen...What can I do?

    Clean it again, very carefully with a cloth dampened with water only (NOT WET), if it will not come back to normal you can have the screen replaced by Apple, this will not be under warranty.
    From now on just use a damp (NOT WET) cloth and a lot of care.
    Never spray on the screen, always have the iMac off when cleaning with any kind of conductive fluids (water)

  • Clean the Screen with alcohol???

    Does anyone know if it is safe to clean the screen with an alcohol prep pad? I'm a bit of a germ freak. I've cleaned all my other phones and they have been fine. I just wasn't sure about the touch screen.

    i have a great way to clean the screen. have had my phone for 4 months and it looks as good as new. every evening i take a regular handtowel, wet the corner with water, squeeze out the excess, and rub the screen. then i take a dry part of the towl and rub it again. it cleans it completely and perfectlyly. as i said, my screen looks as good as new.
    i also use one of the leatherette eyeglass holders, slipsleeve style to hold my ohone when not in use. i cut off about two inches of the top, re-sewed it and it works great as protection when the phone is not in use. the inside is a felt type material and protects the screen nicely.

  • What to clean the screen with?

    I just got a new Imac..first time having a MAC Computer...what do I use to clean the screen with?
    Thank you for all the help.

    See How to clean Mac products for information about cleaning your Mac, display, keyboard, mouse, and more:
    iMac
    To clean the display on your iMac, first shut down your iMac and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices. Next, dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
    Displays
    Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display.
    Warning: Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.

  • Why App Tab disappears after cleaning the manhine with CCleaner?

    I had App Tabs like yahoo, gmail, facebook etc. But, after cleaning my machine with CCleaner, I found, all of them has gone. So, is there any solution present for this? CCleaner is a good software. Many users uses this to clean their machine. So, what is the use to App Tab if we keep loosing it after doing a lot of work to set them in the browser? Although, I love firefox. Thank you.

    Hi TonyE, Thanks for your solution. But the technique used in the previous version of firefox to remember tabs was great. It was independent from session. we used the drag and drop application to make tabs there. By d way, great work. I appreciate The Firefox Team.

  • TS1541 a blue screen appears after a gray screen with the logo and the spinning gear

    start up problem...a blue screen appears after the gray screen and the spinning gear

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
    Then Repair Permissions.
    No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

  • Grey Screen with Grey Apple Appearing after installing Mac OS 10.5 Leopard

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro that came with Tiger. I tried installing Leopard and it has taken over 2 hours and my screen is grey with a grey apple and I can't eject the CD or do any other functions on the computer. Has anyone experienced this before?

    I upgraded Tiger to Leopard Server and got stuck at a grey screen with a mouse cursor. This fixed the problem:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857
    Which refers to getting stuck at a Blue screen, but still worked in my case. Later the Server Setup assistant got stuck as well. But this was because the network settings were incorrectly setup such that DNS server referred to the server itself.

  • Mac OS X Leopard not working (grey screen with question mark appearing)

    Hello. I have a Desktop Mac Running on Leopard (not Snow Leopard) and it gives me the grey screen with a question mark. It has been doing this for a month now, and i had to restart it holding the C key every time, and now it has stopped working. I am using a Logitech mouse and keyboard, and had a disk inserted so i cant insert the installation disk. What should i do?

    You will have to reinstall OS X. Connect the original keyboard and mouse. Restart the computer and hold down the mouse button immediately after the chime. This should force the optical drive to eject the disc. Otherwise see the following:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
    /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
    Once the disc has been removed you can try to do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Cleaning Macbook Screen?

    I have a white macbook. I have some dirt and fingerprints on my screen. How do i clean it withour ruining it or making permanent dimples in it?

    I routinely clean my LCD with a cotton cloth (old T-shirt) wetted with warm water. I then use a dry cotton cloth to bring it to an absolute pristine condition. You gotta have the lighting just so to do it right but it is actually quite simple.

  • Installed new software, after restart black screen with Darwin/BSD promt

    Hi
    I have been struggling with thisissue. I installed some new software, a webcam driver called ilook 1321. I restarted my computer but forgot to take the disc out!
    Now when I start my ibook G4 i get the black screen with Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console) and login. It accepts my usual login and password, then tells me my last login details and leaves me with localhost: Clarekristensen$.
    I have done the disk utility repair, no problems, I also did the fcsk commands, but still goes back to the Darwin command.
    I tried to do the Repair disk permissions but this failed with the message "no valid packages". On disc check I saw I had 25.6 gb of space left.
    I am now at a complete loss what to do next. I have not backed up for a while so really don't want to re-install Mac OS X and wipe my disk.
    Hopefully yours

    Hi Clarek BsD, and a warm welcome to the forums again!
    On that error...
    Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4: Disk Utility shows a "No Valid Packages" alert...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25704-no
    Here's the steps I'd take...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    If it can't repair for any reason, stop here and report back.
    Appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

  • Ipod Freeze - Black screen with Apple keeps appearing

    Recently my Ipod starting to randomly "freeze" while playing a song. (The black screen with the white apple shows up) It doesn't happen all that often, but enough that it bugs me.
    My Ipod is pretty new, I bought it in August. Anyone know what's wrong? Should I contact Apple? Thanks.

    If you do a Windows Search for music files, or use the Windows Explorer to view your hard drive contents, there are columns that show you filenames, file sizes, types, etc.
    If you right clik on the column header (up on top where it says "fileName" or "file size"), a list of optional columns will appear, and you when you pick one, a new column will appear showing the details of whatever you chose. So if you pick the "genre", a Genre column will open in that window and show you the genres of every song on the screen. There is also a "Channels" column, which will show you the number of channels the file is encoded in (i.e. Mono, Stereo) Once you have that column showing, you can then Sort the files in the folder based on that column by left cliking on the column header (where it says "channels"). That will group all of your Mono songs togther, at which point you can easily move them out of the Ituns library as a group, re-encode them to Stereo, or just delete them altogether.
    But all of that still won't get them off the Ipod, unless you follow the above process on the Ipod itself rather than your hard drive. But I think it's easier to get rid of the files off the computer then re-sync the Ipod using ITunes, which will erase the unwanted (mono) tracks.

  • Can I replace my macbook screen with a better one in order to obtain more vivid colors?

    I have a 13" macbook (aluminum), using leopard 10.6.7. I've noticed the colors are not very vivid and when side by side with my girlfriends compaq cq62, the difference is obvious. I've tried adjusting contrast and everything else, nothing works. I've read that apple uses cheap TN panels and that they are the culprit and nothing can be done.
    My problem is that Im doing graphic design work and need accurate color representation. I love my mac and don't want to switch computers. Is it possible to replace the screen with a better one to get more vivid colors? If so, any idea how much it would cost and if the apple store genius guys (or whatever) do this sort of thing? Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply Bob
    I've actually tried that already. And want to know something funny? When I did my own customized calibration, it turned out worse than the default!! LOL.
    But the other profiles don't work either and the default seems to be the best. They don't help cuz they just change color tones and shades, but what Im needing is really bright, vivid colors. My comp next to my gf's, both showing the same picture of Bora Bora, looks dull in comparison. For example, hers has brighter greens and more shades of them and the vividness seems to give it more of a 3D depth, making it "pop" out more.
    Plus when I use photoshop, the colors on the screen aren't exact; they vary from the actual color seen on printed paper. But not when I do the same thing on my gf's compaq, the colors are accurate. In my field this is very important. I can't design something and email it to someone, only to have the colors incorrect. And printing everything first ***** (don't have a good enough printer).
    I've read that nothing can be "corrected" thru preferences and no software will help. It is the fault of the cheap panels apple uses. So thats why Im wondering if it is possible to replace the panel with a better one?
    thanks
