How can I clean stuff that got under the speaker grille?detergent particles

Well I spilled some laundry detergent near the Macbook Pro, and some of the particles got under the speaker grille. It's mainly a cosmetic problem because everything still works perfectly fine, but I was just wondering if anyone have any suggestions on how I can get all the detergent particles out from under the speaker grille... I tried vaccumming them out, but no luck.
-Thanks

Welcome to Apple discussions!
No ideas, but I would be concerned about it. You might want to read the ingredients list on the detergent box and see what they are. Detergents can contain a variety of caustic chemicals like sodium carbonate. It's humid in Sugarland and the humidity could get to those fine grains and stick them to the I/O board and whatever else is in there. Over time, no telling what it might do to the traces. So there could be trouble on down the road. You might want to consider having the computer opened up and the particles removed by a professional, particularly if you are under warranty. Apple doesn't cover accidental damage, but possibly your homeowner's policy might.
Good luck!

  • I have all the anti-tracking addons so when I found 5 downloads in my "my computer"download files I was puzzled so how can I remove these that got past the addons without deleting the whole folder?

    about a week ago or more I added all the Firefox addons to prevent tracking on facebook and google then when I was sharing a picture from my "my documents" under the files in the "my downloads" on my desk top and I didn't download them. Is there a way to remove those files and prevent a third party from downloading to my files? I can not remove the folder as its the one with all my downloads like family pictures?

    What were the names of the files? To my knowledge there is no way files can automatically download themselves unless they are told to do so by a addon, virus or malware. Are you sure another family member didn't download those files?
    It may turn out the files are not dangerous.

  • How can I view stuff that calls for flash player?

    How can I view stuff that calls for flash player on my ipad2?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • How can I repair my internal earpiece? The speaker works not the earpiece., How can I repair my internal earpiece? The speaker works not the earpiece.

    How can I repair my internal earpiece? The speaker works not the earpiece. All other sound features work. I can use an external earpiece and I get sound.

    OK, I went to Private Browsing to change Never remember history to choose Use custom settings for history and then clicked on Permanent Private Browsing Mode and clicked on the bottom OK. I then went to my Firefox messages and clicked on that internal-linked multimessage and then clicked on a link. It went there for only 1 second and reverted to the top of the message, not moving on further clicking.
    I then went to tools > options > privacy only to find that the default Never remember history was back in the panel. It wasn't stable at Use custom settings for history. I tried this several times. It always reverts either right away or after that 1-second success. One time it lasted an amazing 3 seconds before reverting to the top of the multimessage e-mail. So THAT failed too.
    OK, so then I went to Internet Explorer and called up that message. Clicked on an internal link and watched it fail for 1 second and then clicked again and it held the message for a long time. It's something in Firefox not Int. Explorer. Please see the image to let you know what I am doing.

  • How can I convince iTunes that this is the same machine to avoid installing all my iPod Touch Apps?

    I've had to rebuild my hard drive and reinstall all the software. What a pain.Now iTunes wants to tell me that I am re-syncing from a new machine and wants to reinstall all of my Apps. It is the same machine, and all the Apps show up in iTunes that are on my iPod Touch. I do not want to have to reinstall all of the iPod Apps and try to restore all of their data. How can I convince iTunes that this is NOT a different machine?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How can i delete stuff that has been saved on iCloud backup?

    Imight have stuff in my icloud back up stuff that i dont need any more and i want to take it off.

    Delete it off your iPad and back up again.  The new backup will overwrite your old one and won't contain the deleted data.

  • How can I forward to a jsp under the WEB-INF directory?

    I have a webapp with a jsp that forwards to a jsp called /WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp When I try to forward to it, I get the error:
    "trying to GET /mywebapp/WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp, deny-existence reports: denying existence of /web/webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/pages/secure.jsp"
    How can I forward to this page?
    Thanks,
    Micah

    Craig - I'm trying to do something very similar - build a waiting page into the
    flow. I've got a support case open (to get the BEA recommended approach) but so
    far have had no luck. Let me know if you've found the answer - or are still struggling.
    Cheers,

    The following code produces the ubiquitous "Functionality temporarily

    absolute URL:
    <c:set var="url">
    <portlet:createWebflowURL event="next"/>

    <%
    // convert to a scripting variable for the jsp:forward tag

    Using c:redirect fares little better. This code produces an empty
    portlet:
    <c:set var="url">
    <portlet:createWebflowURL event="next"/>
    </c:set>
    <c:redirect url="${url}"/>
    The closest I've been able to get is to have the user click a link to
    get to the next page, but I'd like to have an automatic forward rather
    than introduce another mouse click:
    ">
    Click to continue...</A>
    Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks,

  • Downloading TV shows from itunes - episodes appearing seperately not all under the same series despite all the information being the same.  How can I get them to appear under the same series

    Just that
    I have many series - NCIS, West Wing etc where some episodes appear under the series and some appear on their own.
    I have checked the info anf they appear to be identical.
    How do I get them to group together corectly?

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

    Dear rohit776,
    enclosed two screenshots. First upper one is showing how I want to do it.
    Problem is: It is build completely manually and it does not work. When clicking on References it directs to a blank side and of course the main navi point (References) should be highlighted while I select between the three sub-points.
    The second screenshot shows how my structure looks like. Here the masters are including duplicates (therefore they doubled)

  • I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out.  This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone.  How can I clean up this mess?

    I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive.  So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created.  Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them.  I also have the working (bolded) files too.  How can I clean this up?

    Is there a way to override the 256kbps "conversion" when uploading to iCloud? 
    No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.
    Musicman05 wrote:
    Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one? 
    No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.

    Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files?  Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
    You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.
