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.

Ok - Has anyone cleaned their screen yet?!

The title says most of it I've got a pretty dirty screen here - this is my first glossy screen, and it's bugging me to see smudges and such from where I've accidentially touched it. I know most are waiting for the first round of people to clean their screens before attempting anything. I guess my real question is: any advice for those who have to go first?
I've been waiting to see if ayone has success before trying it, but I really can't wait anymore. It's not insanley dirty - just lost of prints I can't deal with anymore.

Hello,
Regrettably, you are right about Apple's recent
abandonment of durability for beauty. They are more
concerned with selling a product than keeping users
happy with it.
Yes...
I wish it wasn't true. I really do. But, that's how it is now.
I'm stuck in a terrible spot myself.
I need a better machine (more power). But, I want something that is going to hold-up and last.
Unfortunately, I can get durability in the older machines, and power in the new ones. So, here I sit waiting for something good to be released.
I already went through two new iMac's and gave up after that abuse. Couldn't use them without them breaking down, and they spent all their time in the shop.
So, I reverted to the old mini while I wait for something that combines power and durability.
I was really excited about the MacBook when it was released. But, it's glossy screen is a major concern to me.
I want a machine that will serve me for about 5 years. And, I want to be able to enjoy using it for that time. If it looks like I'm reading through a windows screen (bug-screen) from scratches, then I know I won't be happy with it.
If they hadn't put the glossy screen on this thing, I'd have probably already purchased it.
But, my conversations with the local Apple dealer were not inspiring. He was not very reassuring when I explained that I wanted a LCD screen that could be cleaned.
It would be really stupid, however, to put a screen
that scratches easily on their most popular computer.
Agreed.
As you said, only time will tell.
That's all we can do. The reports will come-in eventually.

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.

HT3249 best way to clean display screen in ipad?

What is the best way to clean display screen on ipad4?

Hello earl6,
The following article provides details on how to clean various Apple products.
iPads
iPad and iPad 2
Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad’s screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

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.

Best way to clean LCD screen w/o destroying it?

After several thousand sneezes, coughs and splashed coffee, my PowerBook's screen is looking rather gross -- lots of spots and smudges.
What's the safest way to clean the screen w/o risking scratches, abrasions, melting and shorting out the display? Thanks.

My method:
I use a large soft cloth, iClear screen cleaning fluid and a small medium-weave Microfibre towel.
Place the soft cloth (it should be larger than your PB) flat on a table.
Open the PB so the screen is at a right-angle to the keyboard area.
Lay the PB on its back (Apple logo on reverse of screen flat onto cloth).
Spray some iClear onto the Microfibre towel (insted of spraying directly onto screen). Don't soak it through, you don't need much.
Using horizontal strokes and light pressure, wipe screen from side to side with the Microfibre.
Repeat until marks are gone, and finally buff with a dry side of the Microfibre.
Done this for years, never scratched a screen, treat my Apple LCD the same way and am rather
particular about Car Detailing!
HTH.

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.

Best way to clean the screen?

I can't fully clean my screen. It is always dirty with finger prints here and there. What is the BEST and SAFEST way?

Despite the cool features and operation of your MacBook Pro, it is indeed quite delicate. After eight months of ownership I have traveled to Europe twice and bounced around the airports here in the states quite often while using my Mac in every conceivable dirty location. I’ve only had to actually clean my machine twice in this period. I use a standard clean micro-fiber lens cleaning cloth with bottled water. It works. If you have accumulated any crud, then simply apply a small amount of plastic lens cleaner to the water dampened lens cloth and that will gently remove most any soil from the case. BTW: if haven’t already done so, consider a Marware case protector that will greatly reduce the accumulation of stains, scratches, etc from developing on the wrist area. I don’t think much of the overly thick keyboard cloth that’s included with it although the stick on pad works very well and adds a nice appearance to an already beautiful Mac.

Best way to clean my screen...?

hey all
I have had my macbook since july, and i was wondering whats the best way to clean my screen?? This screen looks much more sensitive than my prior HP laptops, so i'm deathly afraid of leaving scratches...so i have just gone without touching it at all!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi bejerble,
best way is not to touch the screen, and you can use compressed air in can to blow the dust away (do not spray to close).
if you really need to clean it off from smudge or finger print, you can use soft micro fiber fabric that slightly damped with water and wipe the screen without applying too much pressure.
IF the smudge or oily dirt won't go away that easily, I usually use water based glass cleaner and just spray lightly to the damp fabric (not directly to the screen), and wipe it couple more time.
Good Luck.

Best way to clean your screen?

What's the best way to clean the screen on a MacBook?
Should I just turn it off and thoroughly wipe it down with the cloth that it came with? Or would something like a damp paper towel be better?

A slightly damp soft cotton or microfiber cloth might be better. Myself I spritz a microfiber cloth with Invisible Glass and then wipe the glass, kb, and case.

How do you Clean iPad screen

Hi there, I've been having a few problems keeping my iPad screen clean since having to remove the screen protector due to a very tight fitting gel case...anyway I was in the Apple store in Reading today and the guy who helped me at the genius bar said not to use a screen protector and that Johnson baby wipes are the best way to clean the screen ... I guess as he works for Apple I should trust him but wondered what others thought about this suggestion?

I would stay away from "baby wipes" because they usually have oil in them to sooth the baby's skin and protect against diaper rash.
I would stay away from window cleaning cloths as they often have ammonia in them which is great for cleaning windows, but will likely play havoc with the oil resistant coating on the iPad.
I use a microfiber cloth from a local optical shop that is intended for glasses. It works great. just rub a bit harder, the front glass is corning gorilla glass, you cannot hurt it with a good cleaning cloth.
