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.

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)

How do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

how do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

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.
Important: The bottom case of the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010) uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case.

Do not try to use it. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians evaluate it for FREE.

Cleaning the screen

hi all. what is the very best way to clean the screen.
thanks

I would use a microfiber cloth and some water. If you have a particularly difficult stain that you need to get off then a little rubbing alcohol is always good for cleaning electronics as it evaporates quickly and is less of a risk to the internal components. However if you are concerned with the safety of your iPad, as it is an expensive piece of equipment, then I would consider getting some kind of polyurethane screen to protect it from damage and also make it easier to clean. I personally have ghost armored my iPad and iPhone and keeps the mess of oily residue from fingers to a minimum.

MBPr cleaning the screen, is it safe?

Hello guys,
I've been reading about people having the coating damaged on the retina screens. I'm almost afraid of cleaning the screen now. I've even ordered a protector film to prevent the coating from damaging. Not arrived yet so its still unprotected.
I'm wondering, is it a user error, cleaning with alcohol as an example? Or is the screen really this sensitive of cleaning?
I always treat my MBP as a baby, carry it in a laptop case and a laptop bag, so its protected twice. I'm not the type of guy that cleans the screen everyday, more like once a week or two weeks. Just with water, but i've even been reading bad things about water....
How do you guys keep it clean and undamaged? In my opinion, protector film is the best, right?

Talk to the Genius Bar, get a free estimate.
The worst you lose is a couple of hours of time.

Just cleaned my screen with wet ones wipes. Is this ok if it was only once?

Cleaned my screen with a wet ones wipe. Is this ok if it was only once. Saw after that I maybe shouldn't have.

Not if you followed the instructions in your user manual.

I have a PowerMac G4 running ProTools that no longer boots up. All I get is a file folder on the screen with a flashing question mark in it. Ran the Utility disk and all systems passed. Any ideas?

You need to use the computer's install disks to repair the hard drive or install a new OS.

Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe not working in Mavericks

I just bought a new Macbook Air for my wife (running Mavericks) and can't figure out why the Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe is not working.
I can't find the setting anywhere.
I looked on my Macbook Pro running Mavericks (on which the zoom still works), but I cannot find the setting on that computer either.
Please help.
Thanks

System Preferences---> Accessibility---> Zoom---> Use scroll gesture with modifier key to zoom. Select ctrl in the drop down menu.
It's a feature not normally turned on, so you might of had it turned on on your Mac before upgrading to Mavericks. And it just kept the setting.

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
