Could You Use the iMac Without the Glass?

Hi. My iMac's Applecare has expired just this March. I was wondering if I could use the iMac without a glass so that things looks sharper, more vibrant colors, significantly less glare, probably will make it operate cooler and no smudge- nothing to clean all the time? I usually am the sole user of the iMac and there's no danger of the LCD being poked by someone.
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

I took the polycarbonate panel off my iMac as soon as I received it from a third party reseller I purchased mine from.
The screen is definitely less glossy, sharper, easier on the eyes and my iMac does run cooler.
I didn't like the look of my iMac without the blacked out areas of the  polycarbonate screen hiding the look of the aluminum frame and magnets, so I bought one of a these to restore my iMac to looking stock.

Just keep the original polycarbonate panel protected and handy to reinstall if you have to replace it to have your iMac serviced by an Apple Store or an Apple Aurhorized service center.

  • Trying to pay my bill, could you use the same information from last month

    Trying to pay my bill online, It keep saying wrong cvv, could you just use the same information from last month to pay bill? Haven't anything changed.

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:

    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.

  • Could you change the way ff behaves in fullscreen? i hate it when i moves whole page on tab-bar display. tab-bar should slide on page without moving it

    I agree and looked everywhere for

    to no avail.
    Can someone please change how to make fullscreen not push the page down when toolbars are shown on mouse hover in FF? The toolbars should behave more like IE. This would make FF SO much better. Please dont take the IE comparison the wrong way as FF is quite superior and the ONLY browser I use, but this one thing has got to be changed. It's irritating the way FF pushes the whole web page down while in fullscreen mode when the toolbars are shown on mouse hover.

  • If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
    If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple.  I believe it's your best bet.

  • Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
    I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
    I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

  • Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

    Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
    I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

    I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
    I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
    Thanks,

  • How do you use the bluetooth VIs with a Microsoft Bluetooth Driver?

    How do you use the LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs with the Microsoft Bluetooth driver?  I have been trying with no such luck.
       I want to use 2 computers to talk to each other using the bluetooth VIs.  Eventually, I think we would like a PDA/phone to talk to a custom built electronics board with Bluetooth.  But for now, I would just like 2 computers to talk and then eventually talk to our own device. 
    One is a desktop w/ the Belkin F8T012 USB adapter.  It installs fine with the Belkin driver (but I know I need to use the Microsoft Driver in order to use the LabVIEW VIs, but I have tried to get Windows to install its own but it says it is a BCM92045DG-Flash.  It says it cannot install it because it cannot find the necessary hardware.  I thought this USB adapter was on the approved Bluetooth devices list?  What else should I try?  Another Bluetooth USB adapter? 
    The other computer is a Dell Latitude 820.  It has a built in Bluetooth module which I believe is the Dell 350 Bluetooth Module.  On this machine I have been able to setup a COM port with a bluetooth device (blood glucose meter).  It came with a serial port interface which we modifed to go through a bluetooth interface.  It comes up as COM40. We have been able to communicate to it using their program originally designed to talk through a serial port.  But we would like to use the Bluetooth VIs in LabVIEW.  I can't even use the Discover VI.  Perhaps it is not using the Microsoft Driver as well.  Do I just uninstall the driver and then try to have Windows install its own driver?  Do you have any other recommendations?
    Thanks,
       Javi

    Hi Javi,
    This sounds like an issue with Windows and your specific Bluetooth devices.  As you mentioned, the LV Bluetooth VI's do require that the devices use the Windows drivers.  Take a look at this link for specific requirements for using Bluetooth with LabVIEW.  Also, you can take a look at our Developer Zone tutorial on designing Bluetooth applications a found here.  Regarding your device drivers, sometimes it is as easy as uninstalling the driver and then letting Windows discover the device and fine its own driver.  You could check out the Microsoft Knowledgebase for more information.  Thanks and have a great day!

  • Can you use the us store in the philippines

    can you use the us store in the philippines

    No, in order to use a country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when purchasing from it. If it's music that you are interested in then are there other music purchase download sites that you could use ? You can also copy your own CDs via your computer's iTunes

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • In mountain lion must you use the cloud?

    I am reading different things about mountian lion and the cloud.
    Do oyu have to use the cloud for things?
    Can you opt out of using the cloud?

    It's your choice to use iCloud or not. If you have more than one Apple device, why wouldn't you use the features that benefit you. You can choose the features you want turned on. You can keep you address book synced between devices, calendars, bookmarks, messages, or PhotoStream. You can use .me email either with or without iCloud, but it's a very simple setup using iCloud by simply turning it on.
    What you want to use is your choice. Take advantage of the features that you can use.

  • "Could not use the ***** because of a program error"

    I'm using Photoshop CS CC on the new Mac which looks like a rubbish bin, and keep receiving "Could not use the ***** because of a program error". Does anyone know a work around or fix as I can't work with photoshop.

    There seem to be recurring permissions errors for Photoshop running under OS X Mavericks. You might check into disk utility : repair permissions, or very carefully manually altering permissions here and there.
    Not entirely sure this relates to your issue, but it might help:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1404674?tstart=0
    And  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1403095?tstart=120
    And I'm sure you can search for several more threads related to permissions issues with Mavericks. I think Apple needs to do an update to Mavericks. But with careful permissions alteration, you can probably get PS working.
    Once you're pretty secure in what permissions can change and what permissions should never change, you can Google a permissions utility called BatChmod. It rocks, is extremely powerful, and in the wrong hands can destroy your entire system.  :+)  So be careful ...

  • "Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (Alt-click to define a source point)".

    Few users access our Photoshop through Citrix on a mac but use a Windows 7 platform once they're in Citrix.  They're all having issues using the Clone Stamp tool.  Get the error "Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (Alt-click to define a source point)". We've reset the clone stamp tool, reset all the tools, and reset the preferences. We've made sure that we're in All Layers.  Nothing seems to be working.  None of the other forums helped either.  Adobe support is no help either.
    Thanks,
    Moe.

    Did you check with Citrix support?  Did you try both of the Alt keys.

  • Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to d

    Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point). this is what shows up in the command box when ever I click to start to pick the spot i want to use as the clone. makes my cloning tool useless. can any one help? I have reset the tools restrted my computer. i am at a loss...

    Are you working with more than one layer?  If you are working with multiple layers it makes a difference when selecting source spot and then trying to clone to a different layer.  I find that I have to be sure I am selecting the corresponding layers for source and then for application when working within multiple layers.
    At least for me this is the case when getting that type of message.  I am very new to this program though, so maybe someone else has a more concise answer for you.
    Good luck and write again if this doesn't help.
