Best protection / care for MacBook + nano?

Alright, school is right around the bend... I'm about to order the 2.0 WHITE MacBook... I just can't justify spending a few hundred more for a black one... plus white is classic Apple... Now... getting the 4GB matching iPod nano (since it's 'technically' free).
What would be the best all-in-one solution for carrying both of these around campus and protection? Like a backpack with a nano holder, etc.
Best products to use for cleaning and maintaining (other than canned air), I've hard the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser does good...
Any tips/ideas/tricks to help me out with all this stuff?

Hi
First never touch the screen, and I use to clean it up using soft damp (almost dry) fabric to wipe the case.
IF there is an oily finger print or smudge that the fabric couldn't wipe, I'd spray lightly a windex glass cleaner to the fabric and wipe it off.
Apple also endorse iklear, and it might be good also for your MAcBook.
I also use kensington wet and dry tissue to clean up occasionally.
I cover my MacBook track pad with a plastic clear shield that intended for the back of iPod video to keep it clean.
Some user use invisible shield for their whole MacBook body.
For your iPod, use the same invinsible shiled for the back and the front side, and it will protect your iPod from scratch.
Good Luck

  • What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

    What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :).   My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!! 

    I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

  • Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
    Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
    However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
    1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
    I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
    If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
    2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
    I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
    3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
    Regards,
    Michael

    Start here:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
    Apple - Support - AppleCare
    From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
    Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
    If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

  • What is the best antivirus software for MacBook Pro?

    Can someone please tell mewhich is the best antivirus program for macbook pro?

    Hi..
    Both Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac and ClamXav are recomended and both are free.
    Actually, malware is more of a threat on a Mac than a virus.

  • What's the best protective shield for my 3GS?

    Hi Everyone,
    Sorry to bother, but I just got a new iPhone 3GS and I'm wondering what's the best protector to put on the phone. I understand the 3GS has a new type of "coating" on the screen so I don't want to do any damage to it. I also heard the 3GS has these proximity sensors so I don't want to get a case that will interfere with that. Anyhow, I wanted to get an Invisible Shield, a full body one, but wanted to make sure I don't do damage to the phone. I've read the forums and it seems there is no definitive answer on whether or not the Invisible Shield is the best one. Any iPhone experts know what's the best protective shield for the 3GS? And will the Invisible Shield do any damage to the screen or coating on the new 3GS? I talked to a person at Apple and they didn't think it would do any damage, but to be honest, she didn't sound as knowledgeable as I would like. I'm sorry for being paranoid. Can you guys chime in?
    Thanks!

    The reason for no definite answer is that it matters what YOU are looking for in a case or protective screen cover...
    To answer your shield question...the shield product itself will not damage the phone and that coating is not to prevent scratches...it's to help prevent fingerprints...since you plan to put a screen cover on then that coating doesn't really matter...HOWEVER, the way that the shield can harm the phone is IF it's not properly installed by YOU...since the design of that product calls for a liquid solution agent to be used to adhere the cover to the case of the phone, others have gone overboard with that liquid and then ended up with water damaged phones due to the faulty install...If you install properly then it's not an issue
    Personally I used a full shield cover on a previous phone and hated it...so again it's all up to your taste...
    What I currently have now is the simple Apple sold Anti-Glare screen cover you can buy two to a pack for 15.00 at Apple store...I have used since first Gen iPhone and loved it...
    I have a Case-Mate leather hard plastic case but am not thrilled with it since the edges are raised around the edges of the screen and sometimes prevent me from hitting a button right up against the screen edge...so I don't use it much...
    Other covers made by Case-Mate like the Barely There cover don't have that problem...so you really need to shop around and see what case you like and what you dislike...
    Cases specifically sold to be compatible with 3GS will not interfere with either the proximity or any other sensor on the phone face...

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

  • Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India

    Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India ?

    As I said above: "AppleCare is valid in the country in which it was purchased."
    So if you moved to the U.S. and the MacBook Air was purchased in the U.S., the warranty would be valid there (assuming all other warranty conditions are met; e.g., purchased within the past year).  Otherwise, the warranty is not valid.

  • AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook

    I just bought a Black MacBook and I am wondering if I should get the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook ($250). Does anyone has a suggestion?
    I know that I have my 1st year garanteed by Apple and I think that is something does happen until then, I have a big chance not to have any problem. So instead, I was planing to get a ProCare ($80) for the first year, since I am a nes Mac user.

    I generally recommend it for laptops. They get a lot more "abuse" than desktops so the hgiher handling does make for more incidents than a desktop. As mentioned you can take 8-10 months to think it over and see how you go.
    I personally would buy it but ultimately everyone values extended warranties differently. You may have a home insurance policy which would cover you just as well if not better.

  • Do apple protection plan for macbook pro cover retina or is it just macbook pro

    does apple care for macbook pro 15"/17" also cover til macbook with retina or not??

    Covers all Mac models. Just be sure to order the correct AC item for YOUR specific model. Price is contingent on the model covered.
    Edit: it appears that the AC 15" MBP package covers the regulars and the Retinas as well for that size. To be on the safe side, pick the Retina option from the list:

    Hi, I have a Macbook (mid 2007) with 1 GB ram and I would like to upgrade. Currently I have 2x512MB, so both of my memory slots are taken. Is it a good idea to have one 512MB card and a 2GB card in the other slot? Otherwise, what is the best RAM configuration for a mid 2007 macbook?

    Yes, I read the figure 128 in regards to the benefit. Something about interleaving, maybe?
    In doing a Google search for that article I saw, I found this:
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/99215-4gb-ram-my-macbook.html
    the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can take is 3.3GB. So while you can physically insert 4GB of RAM, OS X will only be able to see 3.3GB of it.
    But I don't know how knowledgeable that poster is who says it can utilize 3.3 GB. I do know that the full 4 GB shows up in the System Profiler on my MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz.

  • Protection Plan for MacBook Pro

    Hello
    Apologies guys for the simple question.
    Is it true that a Protection Plan for a Macbook Pro can only be purchase within the year the computer was bought? Or can it be bought anytime post-three years after purchase, I assume that would be the case though it would make little sense in doing so.
    Cheers,

    I would also suggest buying it sooner rather than later. Applecare provides unlimited telephone support for 3 years from the original date of purchase on the computer (not the purchase date of the plan.) So holding off on buying it does not get any additional coverage time.
    Instead, buy it early, as you only get 90 days of phone support without the Applecare plan. Also, if you plan to use an airport base station, wireless mighty mouse or apple keyboard, and if those items require troubleshooting, phone support for those items is covered by the Applecare plan on the computer they are being used with.

  • What is the best anti~virus for macbook pro?

    What is the best anti~virus foe macbook pro?

    None whatsoever. I'm sure that you've heard the line that "Macs don't get viruses"? That's almost true - Macs can be infected with malware, however, and can pass viruses onto PCs. See Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide. The only two virus packages that are usually recommended are both free - Sophos and ClamXav. If you feel that you need AV software, try one or both.
    Good luck,

  • Does apple care for macbook pro cover water damage?

    I just wanted to know if apple care for Macbok pro covers water damage. I mean, it should seeing as I paid over $200 for it.

    No. AppleCare is an extension to the warranty. The warranty does NOT cover damage only material and workmanship of the ortiginal product.
