I wouldn't even use Windex, at least on an older iMac that didn't have a real glass screen cover. Windex & similar products aren't designed for this use & might leech stabilizers out of clear plastics over time.
Apple provides a microfiber cleaning cloth & instructions for using it, so that is going to be the safest method. The essentials are to use as little liquid as possible, apply it to the cloth & not the screen, & to keep the cleaning cloth clean & free of particles that might scratch the screen.
I use the Apple-supplied cloth, wash it frequently in mild soapy water, & either dampen it slightly with purified water for general screen dusting or moisten it with eyeglass cleaner to remove more stubborn deposits. For those deposits I dab & wipe gently, turning the cloth frequently so that whatever crud it picks up doesn't scratch the surface.

  • About My 24inch Apple iMac Computer & My G-Drive

    I Have an G-Technology G-Drive 1TB Drive so how do I Erase The Entire Drive & Start everything back up Empty again & then start Backing Up My Entire Computer to The G-Drive again? cause i'm running out of Room meaning it's not gonna let me back everything up no more cause it's telling me i'm full now or not enough space to make a Copy of My iMac Computer Hard Drive to go onto The G-Drive this is The Last thing i have trouble with then everything else by now is working Fantastic & i'm enjoying My iMac Computer & I Won't be around much anymore only if i have problems other then that i'm good well peace & have a nice night.

    Okay, so after you erase it, do you want one partition on it or more?
    I've forgotten: how big is your G Drive?
    To start, you can just erase the whole thing; go to Disk Utility and you will see a window like this:
    The top entry on the left is my iMac drive; the highlighted one is my external drive. Click on your G Drive top entry and then hit erase - read the instructions if necessary.
    When it's finished, make sure you still show the GUID Partition Scheme at the bottom like this:
    You need that and, under "Format" in the middle of the window, it must show "Mac OS Extended Journaled". Those two are very important.
    If you want to have more than one partition after that, we'll tackle that next - but I need to know how you want to divide it and what the separate parts are for (bootable clone or Time Machine or ??).

  • I Need Help with My 2009 24inch Widescreen Apple iMac Computer

    ok I Have TechTool Pro 8 on My 2009 24inch Apple iMac Computer & I Ran The Sensor Test on My 2009 Apple iMac Computer & it say's it Failed The Test so what can i do to Fix that problem??? or can i Fix the problem???

  • About USB Port Hubs for My Apple iMac Computer?

    I Need to know what kind of USB Port Hub I Need for My 2009 24inch Apple Widescreen iMac computer do i need a USB Hub 2.0 or 3.0? i need to get a USB Hub so what kind of USB Port Hub i need?

    A parallel query, if you please:  I have several USB devices hooked to my iMAC (Late 2012 running OS X Mavericks)  How do I determine if any of them are USB3?  I think my 1TB HDD (not from Apple store) MAY be USB 3 but I'm nor sure.  Does it have to be plugged into the Left-most USB recepticle?  I am told that DVD/CD burners are NEVER USB 3 because rhey are limited by the maximum rototional speed and servo mechanics.

  • Hi , I have one of the early generation ipods which contains quite a lot of music. I bought a new Apple iMac computer sometime ago and I want to do is sycronise my ipod to my new computer so I can further add more music to it. Any advise much appreciated.

    Hi, can anyone advise how I syncronise my ipod nano which is one of the early versions to my Apple imac pc. the ipod already contains a lot of music on it.
    Thanks

    iTunes syncing generally goes one way, from the iTunes library on the computer to the iPod.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your Mac's iTunes library.
    If you still have access to your old computer with your previous iTunes library, a more complete way to transfer your iTunes library is from computer to computer.  You can post back if this is possible and you want to do it.

  • About My Apple iMac Computer & Apple iTunes???

    just now A Blank Gray Screen Came on when i was on Apple iTunes & I Was Downloading Music & Syncing My Music & Music Video's to My Apple iPod Classic 160GB & then it said it had to Restart My iMac Computer cause of a problem & i pressed ok & words came on the screen to but it did Restart My iMac Computer & i'm back on now & this is My 1st time this has happened & i'm running Mac OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks so is this normal? or is my iMac Computer ready to fail? & also a little screen box came up telling me to Report it to Apple so i did that so i wanted to know if this is normal & that if anyone else had the Same Problem as I Did? 
    Everything is back to normal now.

    Well, when you're going through the first setup on the new one, there is a window that comes up that asks if you want to import anything (from another Mac, or other source), so you'd connect your old Mac to the new one and then should be able to transfer stuff. The new ones have a new kind of port (Thunderbolt), so you'd need a cable with a firewire port on one end and a Thunderbolt on the other for that - or, if you have a firewire cable, you can get an adapter for the one end. If you have it on the Gdrive, you can transfer from there too. Time Machine would be a good thing for you to use or a clone (use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper for it).
    Anyway, if all you want to transfer are some files, you could also just drag (copy) them over. Here is some good information:
    http://pondini.org/TM/19.html
    You can see there a lots of ways to do it - you just need to pick the one you want to use.

  • Information About My iMac Computer??

    Add External eSATA Port
    am i'm allowed to use an External eSata Drive for My iMac Computer? cause i need more Storage but my Memory is in good Standards & where can I Get an External eSata Drive from? I Went to OWC.com & I Contacted them on Twitter & they told me that I Can use there iMac Turnkey Service and add more than one drive :-)
    so can I Really use an External eSata Drive or port or whatever it's called on my iMac Computer, I Told them i had an 2009 24inch Apple iMac Computer & i told them i don't know how to install Hard Drives cause i never done it before so i'm a little scared to do it? so i had to ask this question??
    or what kind of Hard Drive I Can put in My 2009 24inch iMac Computer, i'm looking for a 2TB Drive? & will The Apple Store install it for me?

    The Apple store won't install it, but an authorized service provider will. That is if you want to replace the internal hard drive you have now. The only other way (and only on some models) would be that they take out the Super Drive and put another hard drive in there. Not worth it with the age of your computer, Byron.
    Much better (and cheaper): get another external hard drive and park all your movies, etc. there and get them off your internal drive. Here are some good ones from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/EliteALmini/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    You can't use an eSata drive because your Mac doesn't have an eSata port and, again, considering the age of your machine, it is not worth adding that expense. Firewire 800 will work just fine.
    And PLEASE - do not even think about taking apart your iMac - only people who are used to this kind of stuff should do it. There are many many parts inside to remove. Here are some photos:

  • Ipod nano 4gb connect to windows xp and apple imac at the same time

    can i connect my new ipod in my windows xp and download my songs then can i go to my new apple imac computer and connect my nano to that one as well and start downloading my songs i was told it will erase all my songs help!

    The link Mitch posted explains how to use an iPod with more than one computer.
    Now, because you use a Mac and your Mum uses Windows complicates matter slightly.
    An iPod formatted for use on a Mac cannot be used on Windows without some additional software. This is because Windows is incapable or reading the file sytem that Macs use.
    However, if you were to reformat the iPod on your Mum's Windows PC, then you could use it on both Mac and Windows computers.
    Clearer now?

  • Apple TV Will It Work On A 24inch iMac Computer?

    I Posted This in The Wrong Forum I Hope Someone Will Delete The Other? its in The iMac Forum, If I Ever Wanted To Buy Apple TV? Will it Work with a 24inch iMac Computer? or just a Certain Kind of TV Monitor? Cause when i go to The Apple Computer Store I See they have it on a Really Big TV Monitor do i really have to Buy that kind of Sized TV Monitor? instead of Using it on a 24inch iMac Computer? I Don't Go To The Apple Store A Lot, but I Was Just thinking of it cause i Notice They Have That.

    It will connect to a TV or monitor with either HDMI or component inputs.
    It is mainly designed to be used with HDTV's.
    It won't work with an iMac's monitor.
    Some monitors have HDMI inputs.

  • How do I import my folders of bookmarks created on a Dell laptop to an Apple iMac and clean up the mess I've created trying to create a new set of folders and bookmarks on the iMac?

    I have been unable to find and import from the version of Firefox on my Dell laptop to an Apple iMac the folders containing bookmarked website addresses. In the process, I've created a mishmash of unwanted bookmarks. Please provide me a step by step process to import the folders to the version of Firefox on the iMac. The process to accomplish this seems very awkward and counter-intuitive. The same goes for creating new folders and bookmarking website addresses to those folders on the version of Firefox installed on the iMac.

    Chris,
    Thanks for the tip about the Firefox Sync feature. A friend and I managed to use the Sync feature to "transfer" the folders of Bookmarked website addresses from the Dell to the iMac. We found that shutting off and rebooting the receiving iMac computer was necessary for all the folders to transfer over. Also, the entire process would have gone more smoothly had we had separate internet connections for the two computers, but we managed to shift our single internet connection between the computers as the Sync process progressed through its steps. Definitely a learning process.
    Thanks,
    Charlie
