How does dust get in the screen anyway?

I have a few dust spects in the screen you don't usually notice. But I have when the comp is closed a gray piece of dust, a little bigger than a dust dot, like a bigger piece of dust. You can sometimes see it on a really light screen when the comp is on. How did it get in, and so far in the middle? Will dust fall down later? Because I dunno how the dust got to the middle...
Ugh it just bugs me! Dumb dust how did it get in the macbook pro screen! Had my mac for over 2 years.

Yeap. I have that same problem with my Zen Vision: M and my friend has the same problem with his iPod. Yes... It does get really freaking annoying. I just posted a thread about it because its really bugging the crap out of me... So I dont know any possible way to fix this, besides taking it apart.

  • How did dust get under the screen?

    I bought a PB used about a month ago and it was in like new shape with the exception of one dead pixel that annoyed me. This is getting picky but now I noticed there is a piece of dust about an inch away from the dead pixel which really annoys me when I see those. I don't understand how a piece of dust got under the screen, I've had my ipod touch for over 2 years, in my lint filled pockets and it doesn't have any dust under the screen, just in the creases of where the glass ends. I've only had the PB a few weeks and when transporting it I have it in the cloth sleeve, and I clean it often, how could it have gotten in there, through the speaker grill? And could I use like an air compressor to blow it out or would that possible cause damage to it. I was going to buy the convertible case and a screen protector soon but still I don't see how that happens. Sorry for the dumb post but it is really annoying and I want to know if anyone else has had that happen or if it dust can be blown out.

    Thats too bad. I dont get how its getting under there, Im thinking probably through the speaker grills but I'm not sure, the dead pixel was annoying enough but if any more dust gets under there its going to be really annoying to see all that on the screen. I dont know if the one already in there might move to the edge so its not as noticeable or if it might work its way out over time, if more get under there though Id say the best solution would be to take the glass off, if its even possible on the PB, I dont know that much about them, I heard the battery isnt removable but I think that means user removable meaning a PB dealer could open and replace it. If it can be opened without a professional without scratching anything then maybe just taking the glass off will work but I'd only do that as a last resort. I'm starting to get more and more disappointing with the PB the dust, the battery life isnt what I hoped for it to be, and there are very few good apps. Maybe when the ipad 3 comes out I can get a cheap ipad one to fill in for where the PB lacks

  • How can dust get under the screen like this ?

    I have a large piece of dust under my screen about an inch up and an inch from either side of the screen.
    I use a cover on the rear of my phone, and have a zagg cover for the screen. How on earth can a speck get this far in ? I thought these were pretty much closed units.
    Is this something Apple would exchange for ?

    A forum search will reveal that several people have reported this and have gotten a replacement.
    You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar and they will let you know if they can give a replacement.

    Hi Spookola,
    I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

  • HT200197 The message tells me my Apple ID has been entered incorrectly period how do I get to the screen that allows me to reenter it period question mark that allows me to reenter the ID

    When I open Apple TV it tells me my ID is incorrect. How do I get to the screen to be able to reenter the correct password?

    Hi, frecklesgardener.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you need to adjust the password for your Apple ID on your Apple TV.  Here are the steps that will help you make that adjustment.  
    Apple TV
    Go to Settings > iTunes Store > Apple IDs.
    If you're signed out, choose Add New Apple ID and enter your updated Apple ID or password.
    If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID, choose Sign Out, then choose Add New Apple ID and enter your updated Apple ID or password.
    For Home Sharing, go to Settings > Computers, then turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • My partner has lost her phone how does she get all the music pics back and into a new iPhone?

    My partner has lost her phone but how does she get her iTunes music that she has bought back onto her new iPhone?

    That won't do the trick. You really need the computer. That way all your data and files can be backed up when you backup the computer.
    Your only other option, which is much more limited, is using iCloud:
    iCloud- Backup and restore overview
    iCloud- Restore
    iCloud- Restore your iOS device from iCloud
    iCloud- iCloud Backup
    iCloud- Back up your iOS device to iCloud

  • How does User get Identified by Screen Name and NOT by Real Name in submitting a Forum Post?

    I have noticed that when I post a question or discussion item to one of Adobe's Forum Communities, I am identified as the author of my post by my actual legal name, not by my Screen Name that I set up in my profile when I registered.  The same applies for the posts of others--they are identified by their legal names, not their screen names.  What is the purpose of the Screen Name we set up when we registered, if not to shield the identity of the individual from others reading the post, if that person does not want to have their true identity publicly disclosed in, or publicly associated with the post?  If I sign my post using my Screen Name, but then it is identified with my legal name when I post it, what good does it do to have a Screen Name?  Is there some way to have the software not use my legal name, but identify my posts by my Screen Name only, if I so choose that option?  (Of course, Administrators at Adobe can always (presumably) identify the (real name) author of the post, via the registration information associated with a Screen Name, should the need arise.)
    Sincerely,
    SpaceAdventurer

    Thanks for the reply, mytaxsite.co.uk.  And thanks for the screenshot showing me that my name is displayed to you as "spaceadventurer," which is what I had intended / wanted.
    I understand now, from reading through most of the original and replies to the post,Real name instead of Screen name displayed, where I noticed you replied several times, that the Screen Name / real legal name works this way on Adobe’s forums:
    When you are logged in - YOU (and only you) see your real legal name everywhere on the forums / web site, and associated with all of your posts
    When you are not logged in (to Adobe / forums with your Adobe username / password), you always see your name associated with your posts as your Screen Name only
    Everyone else always sees your screen name, everywhere, on all posts, regardless of whether they (everyone else) are logged in or logged out.  (Unless, of course, you set up your profile to have your Screen Name be your real legal name.  Then everyone will always see your real legal name associated with your posts.)
    When logged in, in the “Edit Communities Profile” web page (from the menu that appears when you click your Avatar in the black Adobe menu bar at the top of the screen), in the “Privacy” tab on that page, there is a “widget” called ‘Preview your profile’ in the upper right-hand corner of that tab.  This widget is supposed to show you how you or others, depending on which selection you make from the dropdown in the widget, will see your Profile (and therefore, your name) from their computers.  In fact, no matter which selection you make from the dropdown, the display of your profile that is produced ALWAYS shows your real legal name, which is misleading, because that is not in fact, what others will see. Others, whether “Registered Users,” “Friends,” or “Everyone,” will ALWAYS see your Screen Name only.  (Except for the exception I mentioned in the immediate previous bullet.)
    There is a way to change your Screen Name, should you feel the need to do so.  The steps to do that are detailed in response no. 75 to the "Real name instead of Screen name displayed" forum post.
    Does it sound to you like I have captured the gist of the main learnings that can be gleaned from that post ("Real name instead of Screen name displayed”)?
    Thanks,
    SpaceAdventurer

  • How do I get to the screen on my Audigy 2ZS where I can enable 'SPDIF Pass-through'

    I see the screen on your support page but I cannot get to this screen with my software. Do I need to download a driver or application to get this option. I have a set of Logitech Z-5500 digital speakers on my Dell XPS 600 computer.

How can I recover the screen settings that I had with the previous version of Firefox or how can I set new defults for screen image size under Firefox 3.6?

    Hello Michael.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
    Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.
