Best way to clean screen of new imac?

i got my new mac a few months back and i remember asking at the store what the best way to clean the screen was and was told that the new screens where a special glass that required a special cleaning product, and of course i didn't write it down. i just want to make sure i don't scratch my beautiful new screen...and if i can do it with a fairly affordable product that would be even better.
thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

I think there is iKlear, but I never tried it, it's pretty expensive.
Apple themselves say you should use their cloth with a little(!) water (see imac manual).
I just use the dry apple cloth and from time to time I use a little glass cleaner and a soft cloth. works well for me, others say that alot of glass cleaners are not good for the display, I can't say that's true

  • Best way to clean screen glass

    Okay, so there shouldn't even be any finger smudges on the new screen, but they're there. What is best way to clean them off? One question is wet or dry? And if one way is preferable, what is best to use? Long ago it was advised not to use things like glass cleaners on computer screens, but my MacBook Pro is less than 2yrs old and although I guess it won't be hard to clean off the smudges, in the process I want to be careful not to injure the glass.
    Recommendations?

    Your display glass is ordinary glass, it's extremely hard, and it's not vulnerable to much of anything except sharp impacts. It has no delicate coating on it like the LCD screen behind it. Apple will never say so, but it's fine to use glass cleaner on it, as long as you spray it onto a cloth rather than directly onto the screen, and studiously avoid letting any drips run down it.
    The truth is, I've used various flavors of glass cleaner on all six of my Apple notebook screens for the last 17 years with no ill effects at all, and this MBP screen is the only one that's had a pane of glass in front of it.

  • Best way to clean screen?

    Every now and then my screen gets slighty dirty. What is the best way to clean the screen? Recommended products??

    My MacBook came with a beautifully packaged microfiber cleaning cloth in the same box with the user guide and install discs. I don't plan on using it, but you can find similar cleaning cloths at an optometrist or the eyeglass repair/contact lens care section of most discount stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc). I personally buy eyeglass cleaning cloths at the Wal-Mart optical dept afor use on my glasses, cameras, and LCD displays.

    Thanks.

    Hi, i prefer a micro fibre blanket... clean without to much pressure...
    watch out , always get out battery and powersupply before cleaning ..
    for more harder fingertips & spray some window cleansing (with isobuthanol) on the blanket .. never use direct...
    same for case and keyboard...

  • Best way to transfer files to new iMac?

    I'm trying to transfer files from my PowerPC iMac running Tiger purchased in 2005 to a new iMac running Snow Leopard. I've heard some reports that using migration assistant on a Tiger-to-Snow Leopard transer causes some problems. Is this problem widespread? This sounds like the easiest method for transfering files, especially since I have almost zero experience transferring libraries and user accounts manually. But I don't want to do it if there's a chance of files being corrupted. I'll also have to purchase a Firewire 800/400 cable, but that's no big deal since I'll probably need it for other hard drives anyway. Any advice?

  • 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.

  • Whats the best way to clean an imac?

    Hi, I've had my iMac for about five years, the white 20-inch iMac. I've noticed some flickring on the screen when I change window; looks like static for just a mili-second on screen. Also, sometimes I see dots and lines in the dropshadow of active windows... I've heard this is due to dust in the fan. What would be the best way of cleaning it out?

    Could also just be an accumulation of dust on the botton grill work and small air intake behind the stand that is causing the iMac and graphics to run hot.
    Every few months I shut down (stopping the fans) and vigorously vacuum the bottom grill work and small intake of my 2006 Early Core Duo to keep it running cool.
    Check your current tempuratures with iStat Pro, vacuum the air intakes and check again. Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - iStat Pro
    Unfortunatly if however the Graphic's chip is damaged from repeated overheating, then really the only fix is a very expensive repair or a new iMac.

    The new retina screen is wonderful, but I got finger prints on the sides and top, just from opening and closing it. It happens even when I'm finicky. Any trick to that? But more importantly: what's the best way to clean it again. Thanks for any info!

    what is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

    I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:

    I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth.  The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
    THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.

    Hello jonfromnorth caldwell,
    The article linked below details how to utilize target disk mode to transfer files. This can also be used in conjuction with Migration assistant to transfer your information quickly (the 2010 iMac will appear as a storage device to the new iMac).
