Aluminum imac screen cleaner

Hi
I bought some monster iclean and wanted to know if it's safe to use it to clean my aluminum imac glass screen?
In the instruction manual it says use water only on the screen but one other brand of cleaner, iklear says its for the new imacs(aluminum) but I cant find anything about monster iclean.

iClean is a very good product for cleaning all computer displays. I've used it on my iMac screen, PB screen and touch screen. iKlear is also a very good product. Make sure you use the included cloth with either product and not a paper towel.

    How do I get rid of hazy spot on my IMac screen?

    Does it look like condensation between the glass panel or more like a dark smudge (aka burn mark) on the display?
    see > iMac Screen Cleaning - YouTube
    Of course if your iMac is in warranty or you are not into DIY, then contact your Loacl Apple Store or AASP and have them clean and/or service the iMac.

  • Cleaning my iMac screen...

    My iMac screen gets very dirty very quickly. What can I use to clean it?

    I just use the cleaning cloth that was included with my iMac. Make sure that the computer is shut off. I simply dampen it water and really wring it out good. Then I simply wipe the computer screen off.
    My keyboard also gets really dirty from use, mainly on the home keys (where your fingers rest when typing) and I clean this differently as water does not work to peel all the grime off. I unplug the keyboard and then I use a solution of a couple drops of dish washing soap to a quart of water with the same cloth as mentioned above and I gently wipe all the grime off. I then use clear water to rinse the soap off. I make sure that I squeeze almost all the soapy solution out of the cloth and when I rinse I do the same thing.

  • Best way to clean imac screen...

    Hi...
    wondering the best way to clean the imac screen - first time i have had a lcd screen
    thanks

    Nick,
    The user guide recommends that one dampen a lint free cloth with water and use it to clean the screen. There are a few commercial products that work well, including Monster iClean and iKlear. Be sure to avoid any product with alcohol or ammonia. Also, whether you use water or a cleaning product, spray the cloth, not the screen directly.

  • Screen Cleaner for New iMac

    What is a good screen cleaner for the new iMac? I've tride normal glass cleaner and it is a glass screen but i seemed to just make a mess. Please help!

    " Never use Windex or equivalent products."
    I'll second this suggestion. When I first cleaned my new 2013 21.5" iMac, I used
    a "windex" type cleaner, and it made a mess (streaked and everything).  I actually though it was so bad that I had damaged the screen.  Fortunately, with water and a microfiber cloth I was able to clean off the "windex" streaking.
    The thing is, the new 2013 iMac screen covering is more "plastic like" in material, and not as "glass like" in materials (as previous iMacs may have been), so it may be easier to damage (scratch) the screen surface if care isn't taken.
    Always use a soft microfiber cloth (preferably with no sewed cloth edges - find a seamless edge microfiber cloth), to clean the new iMac screens.
    If you need to, this "auto" microfiber cloth is one of the best:
    Mothers Ultra-Soft Polishing Cloth 16"x16" - Mothers MOT-155200
    They are a hard to find style and are "no seam edgeless" style ... meaning they don't have a threaded sewed edge. Often many cheap microfiber cloths are made using a polyester sewing thread around tghe four outer edges, and even though the microfiber cloth itself may not scratch .... the four sided sewed edges can really scratch badly without knowing it.

  • What do you use to clean your iMac screen?

    I bought a bottle of 'screen cleaner'(for computers and cameras.) I spread it on the screen (it looks like hair mousse) and wiped it with soft cloth.... It left marks! I tried it many times but couldn't make it spotless ...
    Should I use window cleaner instead ... since the outer screen is made of glass?

    Yes ... 'rub gently' ... that might be the key ...
    Thank you, Dennis!

  • 20 inch Aluminum iMac crashes after installing Mac OS X Combo Update 10.5.6

    I have a school lab with 22 of the new 20 inch Aluminum iMacs. They all have been having a problem with crashing after someone logs onto my network server, which is still running the 10.4 Tiger version of the Apple server. They run fine if you boot up and log on as a local user, and they seem to run fine when you boot up and log on to with a server account, but when you log off from the server, about five seconds later while the aurora screen is still showing, they crash and give you the Apple version of the "blue screen of death."
    I was told that the fix was to download the combo update separately from the Apple website and use that to reinstall and update the operating system.
    I downloaded and tried installing with a 10.5.6.dmg file and a 10.5.6.dmg.smi file, but they both crashed.
    Where can I find the "fixed" version of this update or is there some other fix?
    I have tested this on 9 or 10 different systems.
    The first file was MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg, which is a disk image file that is 668.8 MB or 684,774 KB.
    I looked in the discussion groups on the Apple web site and found some discussions for problems that seemed similar to, but not quite the same as my own. They led me to a file MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg.smi, which a self mounting image file that is also 668.8 MB. I tried it and got the same result.
    I can install my dvd, which gives me 10.5.1, which will log off and reboot correctly.
    I can then install several miscellaneous upgrades:
    Pro Apps Update 2006-02 V1.0
    AirPort Utility V5.3.2
    Remote Desktop Client V3.2.2
    QuickTime V7.6
    iTunes V8.0.2
    and also
    Front Row V2.1.6
    The system will then log onto the network, log off and reboot correctly.
    But, when I install the 10.5.6 combo update from any of my sources, it boots and logs on fine. But, if I log onto the network, it crashes when I log off.
    Where do I go from here?
    Thanks for your help.

    Have you tried starting up with your install disk and doing a disk repair?
    Put the install disk that came with the Mac in the DVD/CD drive and restart holding down the 'C' key. You can take your finger off once you hear it making noises from the DVD/CD drive. You'll be presented with a screen where you choose your language. At the next screen on the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility you then select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If it makes any changes click on 'repair disk' again and repeat the process until you get a clean pass. Once done select restart from the Apple menu and hopefully the Mac will boot normally.

  • 24" iMac screen mist behind glass

    For a couple of months now my 24" iMac screen keep misting up behind the glass around 30 mins after booting - anyone know a resolution for this? Will Apple replace the screen even though i've had it around 4/5 years now?

    It is common to get condensation between the display and front glass panel, if it is humidity and cool in your office or home.
    A few things that you might try, are
    1. Reduce the level humidity with a dehumidifier.
    2. Leave the iMac on longer until the condensation dissipates.
    3. Remove the front panel yourself and clean between the display and glass.
    Will Apple replace the screen even though i've had it around 4/5 years now?
    No, but if you contact your local Apple Store or AASP you can schedule an appointment to have it dried and cleaned.

  • IMac Screen Failure

    Hey,
    I was just wondering if any of you are experiencing screen failures as noted in the link below? If so, is it the aluminum iMacs, or is it the white ones?
    http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/11/30/imac.screen.failure/
    Thanks!!

    Hi autiger
    Which iMac do you have and are you having any display issues?
    I don't believe it can be jinxed, so I'll do a little bragging here. My 17" Early Core Duo w/Apple Care purchased Jan. 21 2006 is great and has no gradient light/dark, no dead pixels and only a very very small backlight bleed. The sRGB and Adobe RGB (1998) profiles were OK, but the display seamed a little washed out. After more than a few tries, and some good advice from Barbara B and others here I was able to set a new profile that is much richer than any of the factory supplied profiles.
    All display manufactures and computer system will have there share of issues, some more that others. I have had more than a few Apple's over the last 20+ years without a single hardware problem. I do have to admit though, that with the all-in-one Intel I bought Apple Care for the first time ever???

  • 24" 2008 iMac screen going black

    My 24" 2008 iMac screen keeps going black then coming back after a while. What temperature would it need to get to in order to knock out the display? I have iStat.
    Also, if the screen fails due to graphics card or other component, is it possible to connect an external display to use it until I can upgrade to a mini?
    Cheers.

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Display To Match aluminum iMac

    Hi there, my first post on here
    I have a 24" aluminum iMac, i would like to have a second display. I would like to find a monitor that looks just like the iMac. Does anyone know of one that exists please?
    Failing that i will use a cinema display.
    Thanks for you time
    Z

    Your iMac has a Mini-DVI port at the back to connect a second monitor.
    Depending upon which Display you settle on you will need either a *Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor* or a *Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor* -
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables?mco=MTI2MjY
    Any monitor you get will come with its own signal cable. The adaptor fits between the iMac and the Display's signal cable (i.e. iMac - adaptor - signal cable - display).
    When you connect it all up and boot up the iMac, the second display will be detected automatically. You then need to go into +System Preferences/Displays+ where you will find a new option has appeared called 'Arrangement'. Open 'Arrangement' to -
    a) *deselect 'Mirror'* if you want an +extended desktop+ (unlikely you will want the same display on both screens unless you do a lot of presentations), and
    b) drag the diagram representing your second display to a position in relation to your iMac's own screen to match the actual physical position of your second display. (my second display is to the right of my iMac so the blue box representing my second display needed to be to the right of the iMac box).
    A piece of cake.
    Hope this helps
    PS. My second screen is a different aspect ratio to the iMac display so, in Arrangment, it was easy to tell which blue rectangle represented which screen. If your new screen has the same aspect ration as your iMac screen they will look the same. I suspect the blue rectangle that represents your new second display will initially be the right hand one (just guessing though). You will soon work out which is which however.
    PPS. Here's a suggestion (or three) for a display -

  • Replacement Displays for 20" Aluminum iMac

    As I sit here staring at another gray background website that goes from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, I keep wondering "When is Apple going to do the right thing and replace these displays?" The poor quality display is the only thing keeping this computer from being the best one I've ever had.

    If you're still within the 14 day period, return it and get a refund. So long as people keep buying the new 20" iMac, Apple has no incentive to improve the quality of it. I'm concerned about how Apple is going to honor its warranty for people who have the white iMac. If Apple can't repair them, it is contractually bound by its warranty to replace them with a functionally equivalent computer. In the past, that's always meant that a person would end up with a new model that was actually better than its predecessor, but that's not the case now. Since the supply of white iMacs is running out, Apple will eventually be replacing defective white iMacs with aluminum iMacs. However, because of their poor quality screens, especially on the 20" model, the new iMacs are functionally inferior to the white iMacs, thus leaving Apple with no way to honor its warranty unless it replaaces defective white iMacs with new MacPros and Cinema Displays.

  • Chip in iMac screen

    Hi i bought a base model iMac last Sunday from a apple store and since ive had it there has ben a small mark on the screen just below the iSight camera, at first i thought it was a dead pixel but on closer inspection it seemed to be on the actual glass itself.  I thought it was just a speck of dirt so i bought some muc-off screen cleaner however after using it, it hasent come off and how i feel it may be a actual chip in the screen.  However the actual apple store is over an hour away should i call apple or could i take it to a apple reseller nearby.

    Call Apple Support and have them make the arrangements, that way a replacement panel will be on hand before you lug the iMac in.
