Concerned about Screen

I know that apple says that the screen is scratch "resistant" but does anyone have any suggestions (beside the obvious.."dont scratch it) about screen protectors. Will they limit the functions or sound of the phone? Any suggestions on which one might be better or are they all the same basically

I bought this along with the iPhone: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B31 9498&nplm=TN612LL/A
It's easy to apply and it doesn't interfere with the screen functions at all. Best of all it works via static cling so there's no adhesive to mess the screen.

  • Concerned about screen burn in with alarm clock app

    I recently downloaded Night Stand HD, then it occurred to me that the clock display would remain on all night. The auto-lock feature needs to be disabled for the alarm to work. Do I need to be concerned about screen burn with the iPad display? I know the latest LCD displays are not susceptible to it, but I want to be sure before I start using it. The app has a dimming feature, but I'm not sure if that is enough protection.
    Thanks

    Only CRTs and Plasma screens are subject to burn in. The iPad won't.

  • HT5193 I want to use Apple TV in a hospital classroom setting and IT is concerned about security (patient information). Is this an issue and how can I put them at ease?

    I want to use the Apple TV to create an interactive white board type setting in the classroom. I appreciate the help.

    My first reply was probably a bit vague but it's not clear exactly what you're planning to do.
    Anyhow first off, remember this is simply a user to user forum and is not an Apple staffed technical advice area so no one here can accept any responsibility for the implementation you attempt. 
    If you intend to do anything that could potentially compromise patient confidentiality you must get appropriate advice from suitable agencies including your IT dept and probably Apple itself. Depending which country you are in you will be subject to local healthcare laws aimed at protecting patient confidentiality.
    As users we know next to nothing about AppleTV under the hood security.
    AppleTV runs a version of iOS just like iPhones and iPads.
    There is no antivirus/firewall software for iOS as it's already pretty locked down. 
    That does not mean it is 100% secure as nothing is, and all these devices can potentially be hacked.
    AppleTV itself does not store any content permanently, losing data when it's unplugged, so that is probably not an issue unless someone was going to attempt a forensic style data rescue from the internal components.
    If your IT dept allows iPhones or iPads on the network then in principle it's the same, and in many ways less of an issue as it doesn't support 3rd party apps, only a small selection of features from Apple and selected partners.
    I assume for your whiteboard plan this would entail using a touch screen like an iPad for mirroring.  Be aware that fullscreen mirroring will send a 4:3 image to the display as the iPad screen is 4:3 not 16:9 (widescreen).
    You need to work with your IT dept to assess the feasibility of what you want to do - unless you need internet access, to me it would seem a standalone local network without internet connectivity might remove some concerns about devices connecting to the main hospital network.  Maybe their concern is simply wifi and possible interecption of data sent to the AppleTV - this would likely be a proprietary screen sharing format for Airplay but it could still potentially be intercepted on wifi though I can't really see why anyone would want to as the data would probably be pretty useless to them unless this was a specific attempt to capture Airplay streams and people knew what they were doing and had compromised your wifi security.
    Good luck.

  • Should I have concerns about the integrity of Best Buy's Mac sales?

      I bought my iMac OS X, Early 2008 Model from a Best Buy store. I was a naive & pensive 1st time [ever] PC buyer. The sales [kid] led me to an iMac that had been returned, and referred to it as an "open box sale." I was re-assured the Mac had been completely "wiped clean of all..." After setting it up at home, I found out different; and the previous owner had it for 4 months! Earlier at B.Buy the sales kid told me after asking "why was it returned?" His reply, "Because the screen was too big." His answer certainly didn't make sense to me then, or when I discovered [at home] that it took the 1st owner [him] so long to decide it wasn't what he wanted. So I packed up my Mac & returned to the B.Buy store to have everything cleared.
      I knew I had a lot of trial & error lessons on my hands, not being a computer literate person, but evidently I like a good challenge; and that it has been! No complaints; at first I was concerned about 'doing something wrong'. I was re-assured by the Geek Squad, "You can't harm it; just explore your Mac to get to know it." Well, needless to say, not being able to follow instructions in Owner's Manuals, I'm more of a "slowly SHOW me HOW TO, and what's what" type of learner. I had to Google everything pertaining to PC terminology, steps on how to download & install, files, folders, using delete/trash, keeping all in place/order and NOT duplicating [and which one to keep if I did!] Please don't think I'm stupid; my Mac has been properly stored for 6 years, minus 8 months. I was not in the position in my life to have it set up in a secure environment. Since Jan 2014, my Mac & I have spent many hours, equalling weeks & months face-to-[screen] face!
      I've had many problems since installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4; and was very apprehensive updating due to the many unfavorable Reviews I had been researching. But I couldn't keep ignoring Apple's repeated recommendations of keeping every item updated. So I eventually found my way to all info, ON ONE PAGE! Yipee! I could not believe what I was reading! Even though I was aware my APPLE apps, plug-ins, utilities, etc. were not auto updating [set to do so]. I FINALLY found my Mac's PROBLEM. My main software, Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is GROSSLY OUTDATED! I totally spaced that due to my Mac being packed away for so long. So I'm working on that. I'M SHARING all MY INFO hoping to help other's who are at my technical level. SO all YOU COMPUTER WHIZZES can SCOFF, GIGGLE all YOU WANT . I take no offense, I'm kidding ☀️. 
      BUT!! Since learning how & where to navigate through the system's files & such, and seeing documents, folders and files that strike me as odd, I have a NAGGING ITCH something is there from the ORIGINAL OWNER. He CREATED SOMETHING, a way into my system, CURRENTLY. I've had to Google 'plist names', and with the help of a very longtime good Facebook friend in New York State, I am learning more from his knowledge & advice. ALL my APPLE security settings are set-up, deny's & allows, and I'm not downloading Videos from MeTube , or anywhere else for that matter. I only download SAFE game apps, and I'm the ONLY user. ANY IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS COMP WHIZZES? Besides updating my software; I'm just trying to find out [on that subject] if I have to buy, download/install all Software Programs of past to be able to run the current OS X Mavericks? Which I read already has a 10.9.5 version. I wanted to become a part of the "Preview Program" for Yosemite; but nope, I cannot! 
    REASONS for MY PREVIOUS OWNER Concerns: My system got so bad, while attempting to Chat on fb w/one friend; every letter I typed, the rainbow ball would spin forever, highlight & delete partial words, and would totally crash. I downloaded an anti Virus app for Mac; scanned my system [took forever]; ending w/a report of 55 VIRUSES!! Many files could not be scanned too. My Mac HD Encrypted Logical Partition Drive un-mounted at least two times, and there's one too many files than there should be. But the file name was not shown, only that the count is off. HELP?

    While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that  has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
    The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
    My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

  • I am concerned about personal data being not encryption in transit over the Internet and therefore can be seen by other people.

    I am a new Firefox user. I have just installed Firefox 4 on my windows PC today, 5/27/11. I have two major questions:
    1. Accidentally, I clicked some thing at random on the screen (I can't remember what it was) and this page, http://us.config.toolbar.yahoo.com/bh/v2/wp/?view=wc&intl=us&pc=yma3&dc=v2_upgd&cv=2.3., showed up under Yahoo! Toolbar. It informed me that the connection was not encrypted and that information sent over the Internet could be seen by other people. I am not sure what the warning is all about. Does it mean when I use Firefox as a browser to access the Yahoo! and other Internet sites, e.g., my bank, all my personal (username, password, etc.) and bank data will be seen by other unauthorized people? I have never seen a similar warning from other browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Safari? So, if Firefox does not offer protection of personal data, I wonder what's the point of using it. I could have misinterpreted the Firefox warning and would highly appreciated it if you can clarify.
    2. During the installation process, a message showed that Firefox 4 was not compatible with certain features of some of the software already on my PC. I did not copy those features and do not remember what they were except one that was associated with my firewall ZoneAlarm. I could be wrong but I think the message also said Firefox had removed the incompatible features. Please tell me if I should be concerned about it, especially the one that was removed from ZoneAlarm. Will my PC become susceptible to hacker invasions when I use Firefox as the browser? I wish Firefox had given some written explanations along with the incompatibility and removal message so that a user can understand exactly what it is about.
    I would appreciate to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. I have tentatively suspended using Firefox until I can be assured that it is safe to do so without potentially compromising my personal data.
    Thank you.

    That is a generic warning message that you get if you submit a form via a normal HTTP connection (i.e not in via a secure HTTPS connection). That warning pop-up probably has a box to suppress this message in the future.
    If you exchange data with your bank site then there should be a secure connection.
    You can verify that by clicking the Site Identity Button (website's favicon) on the left end of the location bar.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
    You need to check the ZoneAlarm website to see if they have an update of their software that is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1

  • A question about screen updation of T61

    Hi there
    I got a question about screen updation. 
    Currently, my T61's screen is 14.1 XGA TFT 1028x768, and it can't work, thus I am considering to replace it with the better 14.1" SXGA+ LCD SCREEN .
    However, I am a little concerned about the compatiblility problem, hence I just wonder whether the new SXGA+ screen can fit for my current T61 laptop or not?? Thanks a lot for your answers!
    Regards
    Peng

    you can buy it from IBM parts, and it will then sure to work for your laptop.
    Here is the manual that shows you how and what parts you need:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-67979.html
    P.S. If you have warranty this upgrade will void your remaining laptop warranty, as the LCD is not CRU (customer replaceable unit).

  • Concerns about Using Aperature

    My wife is a professional photographer. I provide her technical support. We use a competitive image database product today. We are both curious about Aperature. But, I have some concerns about how it will work for us.
    These concerns arise first from the fact that Aperature, like iPhoto, uses a single library to manage all of its images. Our current tool lets us save image info into separate database files.
    The benefits to these separate files are signficant. The first, is that it frees her from editing the shots from every shoot in the database. For, the database is a reference tool to be used well after jobs are finished (say to build a specialized mini-portfolio for a client). As a result, our workflow has us dumping every image into the db, regardless of quality. Occasionally, we quickly flag those of special value.
    Since it keeps everythign in a single file, I worry that Aperture would satisfactorily handle the 5 terrabytes of images she has shot in the last year, plus those which preceded it. Is there some convenient way to segment the data?
    Also, she tends to work on laptops (right now, G4s, since Photoshop is so slow on Intel). I was under the impression that Aperture requires a pretty high powered computer. Will it run satisfatorily with a large db on a G4 laptop?
    Lastly, she uses a Phase One back. I don't see Phase One RAW format as one of those supported by Aperature. Does it work with Phase One?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Aperture currently allows you to specify the library file it will use when it starts up. The setting is in the preferences screen. This allows you to use different libraries for different purposes. The limitation is that only one library can only be one library open at a time. I don't know why they don't have a normal File Open option in the menu. This would be easier.
    Creating additional libraries is also a workaround since there is no New Library command. There are a variety of ways to do it. The easiest is to just make a copy of the empty library Aperture installs in your system by default and copy that every time you need a new library file. It's inconvenient, but not too bad since you only have to do it once in a while and it only takes a few seconds if you have the empty library to copy from handy...

  • Wondering about screen - Purchase iMac or wait?

    I was going to buy a new 24" iMac but have become concerned about the screen issues that have appeared in various forums. It seems you only hear from those who have had problems and not from those who haven't. I'm wondering how widespread the problem is and if I should wait to purchase.
    Advice and thoughts are welcome.
    Mike

    Shortly after the warranty ran out on my 24", I started getting very serious display issues. I've never seen anything like it. It's difficult to explain here, but the problem is driving me to distraction. For example, If I leave a window open for any length of time at all and then close it - I can see a ghost image of its contents on the desktop. That takes hours - sometimes days - to go away. If I move a dialog box - or anything for that matter - I see other parts of the screen showing up far from their origin. I can slide window around to clear it up - much like working in Photoshop - and 'paint' the screen back to normal. What a ridiculous situation, when you consider what one of these things cost. There's a 'smudge' of dark colour in the bottom left corner of the screen which slowly varies in size...and the list goes on and on and on. I've owned just about every kind of Mac since 1989, and I have never had as many freezes, hangs and crashes as I have with this box. Probably one kernel panic (at a minimum) per day. Right now, I sit with a fan directed at the computer to try and prevent it from crashing more often - it helps, believe it or not, but it's damned uncomfortable. Would I recommend an iMac? I've defended Apple through thick and thin for decades, spend tens of thousands of dollars on their equipment, and as much as I hate to say it - don't buy it until someone at Apple admits they created a lemon and 'fesses up. My Intel iMac is a beautiful thing - but functional, it isn't. Good luck with this one. It's an expensive gamble.

  • Concerned about battery

    Hello,
    I'm a little concerned about the battery in my MacBook Air 11-inch. This is the second battery I've had in the computer since I bought it. The first one only last about an hour with a full charge. My AASP replaced it. I'm really only getting about 4 hours out of the new one, screen brightness is dimmed, Bluetooth is off, Airport is on (5Ghz), mainly monitoring a live remote video feed (Flash), and basic email and web browsing. Nothing too taxing, at least I don't think so. Here's what coconutBattery tells me…
    My concern lies with the design capacity percentage. Should a new battery only have a capacity of 97% after only a month? (This is the second battery.)

    Battery capacity declines as soon as the battery is used.  What you see is quite normal.  Given that Flash uses a lot of CPU resources and your wireless is on, four to five hours is also normal.

  • Left MBP in car - concern about heat

    I left my uMBP in my car today in Arizona. The temp outside was about 105. Fortunately I left it on the floor of the back seat. It was not in direct sunlight, but when I returned the computer was almost to hot too hold. The unit was completely powered down and the lid was closed. It was in my SUV originally with the air on as I came in from a meeting. Then I grabbed some lunch and forgot about it. I came back about 1 hour later. Do I need to be concerned about anything?
    As soon as I could I got the A/C on and back to "normal temp." I brought it inside my house and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I fired it up and watched a short 30 minute movie and checked everything with iStat Pro. All reading look good and screen looks fine, again anything that could of been damaged that I might see or need to work about?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    You may have considerably shortened the useful lifespan of your battery, and perhaps also your hard drive. If the outside temperature was 105°F and the car was in the sun, the ambient air temperature inside the car was probably 125-140°F, so you undoubtedly exceeded the safe storage range for the MBP. The battery is the component most vulnerable to damage by temperatures above that range, but the hard drive contains lubricants that may melt and run at high temps, removing them from where they should be and putting them where they shouldn't.
    Apple says a *"properly maintained"* MBP battery should retain 80% of its original Full Charge Capacity after either 300 or 1000 cycles (depending on which battery type it is, removable or non-removable). You couldn't honestly say now that your battery has been "properly maintained", even if you never repeat the mistake. It won't be surprising if your battery fails prematurely. Nor would I be surprised if your hard drive fails prematurely, so keep good backups.

  • HT1414 I was using my IPAD this morning. Powered it down, then when I powered it back up, it said activation required.. but it would not accept my password. I hit skip and logged in fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

    I was using my IPAD this morning. Powered it down, then when I powered it back up, it said activation required.. but it would not accept my password. I hit skip and logged in fine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

    Probably - if it happens again. Chalk it up to a fluke occurrence for now.
    I get the message on my iPad that it can't connect to the iTunes Store - While I am in the iTunes Store or the App Store happily navigating from one tab to another.
    You can try rebooting the iPad to "clear the cobwebs" but if it is OK now, I probably wouldn't be overly worried. Rebooting being holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • Concerned About Security and Privacy

    Fine.  Call me a conspiracy theorist, or whatever you want, but I'm concerned about online privacy and security in today's world.  Government, media and big business want our personal and financial information (and viewing habits) to track, store, sell and use.  I understand that's the world we live in but I refuse to "get used to it."  It's MY information and I don't just give it away.  They sure don't give us their's.  We can't even get unbiased truth out of any of them.  Now, I'm learning that it's possible for software, and other people, to access our cameras and microphones on the computer.  C'mon.  Enough is enough!
    I don't sign up or register for much of anything online.  When I do, it's 100% fake information.  I especially hate Google.  Don't get me wrong, I don't do anything online I wouldn't do in front of my mother, spouse or pastor.  It's the principle of the thing.  When you start giving up the little things, they start taking the big things.  (As we're already well aware of.)
    So, my question is this:  What safegaurds do you take on your computer?  Do you have lot of security apps/extensions?  Which ones?  Do you use your firewall and/or firevault?  Is that frustrating the way you use the internet or programs you use?  Which browser do you prefer?   Search Engine?  E-mail?  Do you use any third party software for virus protection or anti-spyware? 
    Basically, what do YOU do to protect your computer and your personal information?  I'm not the most computer literate person so I hope you'll have patience with me.

    I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S
