How to clean finger prints off the screen??

Some people say buy solutions from a computer store like iKear $30 and others say just get a vinegar solution and dilute with water 50% and that would do the trick. Any thoughts as to what is best to use?
Max

The user guide that was in the box when you purchased your MBP says to simply use water. I clean my screen off with a damp washcloth (just dampen one corner) & then dry it with the other side of the washcloth. Make sure you do not press very hard on the screen!! This method works great on the rest of your laptop too. It leaves the surface feeling like new, especially the keys. Two other things to note: 1) I used the word "damp" not "soaking wet." Ring out the corner of the towel as much as you can.
2) remove the battery & disconnect the power adapter
I don't have the guide with me for the exact words, but I clearly remember that it said not to use chemical solutions. Vinegar is acidic (even when 50/50 with water)...common sense would tell you not to put that on an expensive LCD display!! So just use water & a soft towel. It's what Apple recommends & it's much cheaper (free, in fact) than third-party chemical cocktails.
Merry Christmas to all!

  • How come I can print off the Apple support page but not of my note book i n documents.

    How come I can print off the Apple support page but not off of note pad in my documents.

    No. It is not free unless the phone was originally purchased less than 90 days ago or you have an active AppleCare agreement.
    Where did you get the phone? This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

    Hi McQuerty,
    If you are having issues printing a CD insert from iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at iTunes 10, but should still apply in iTunes 11):

  • Selling Computer - Like to know how to clean all info off the computer

    Hi All
    I am selling a 17 Inch Imac and I'm trying to find out how I wipe all information from the system so there is no personal info for the new user to see.

    The best way is to zero out all the data by ins erting your install disc, then going to Disk Utility, selecting the hard drive you want to erase and then chosing either zero out data,7 or 35 passes. It will take about a minute for each GB of data for each pass, the more passes, the longer it takes, but the more secure your disc is.
    Hope this helps,
    Miriam

  • How can I turn on/off the screen without the sleep button on Apple nano 6th generation?

    The power/sleep button does not work and i have an iPod nano 6th generation which does not include a home button

    Try connecting your ipod to a charger, see if it turns on, (that's what I did with my old 6th gen ipod nano), and if that doesn't work, there's really nothing else you can do besides bringing it in to the genius bar. Happy to be a help!

  • Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution

    Reader XI has the print button off the screen when on 800x600 resolution as well, how to fix without changing resolution?  A user needs the resolution set to that for her eyes.
    I see that this was an issue in Reader X and update 10.1.3 resolved it.  What was the fix?

    The scrollbar appears and works but unfortunately the dialog size is still too big therefore the print button ends up being hidden by the windows taskbar. Could you please make sure that the print dialog size is calculated against the work area (desktop size minus the taskbar, there's a win32 API to get that) rather than the whole desktop to fix the issue?
    That would also fix another issue: when the taskbar is sized higher than usual whatever the resolution you have it could still end up covering the print buttons but if you calculate against the work area rather than the desktop area that issue would be fixed as well.
    Please don't leave it unfixed because even if the requirements say 1024x768 if you have higher DPI settings or have a taskbar with a non-default size the print button could easily become unreacheable.

  • Cleaning a schmotz off the iBook screen... and HD and Optical drivequestion

    FIRST: I was hoping to find this info in a FAQ somewhere, but couldn't come up with it. I have an iBook G4 (14-inch Late 2004)/1.33GHz/768 MB RAM/ATA 40GB HD/Slot-loading combo -- NOT Super -- drive) that I bought second-hand from some leased-computer salvage yard. The price was right and it works fine, but in its former apparently corporate life, it looks like somebody blew their nose on the screen, then made a half-hearted attempt to wipe it off with a dirty sock. There's a schmotz almost dead center in the screen (that you can really see when the Book is on) as a maybe 1 mm gray smudge, and when the Book is off, you can see a larger, streaked area where someone apparently tried to clean off the original blemish, whatever it is. Could someone suggest the safest, least screen-threatening method of cleaning this muck off the display?
    SECOND: I have a couple Aluminum (I think, though the ports arranged at the rear -- not the sides -- make them look like TiBooks) 15" PBG4s. One has a 40GB, and the other has a 60GB 4200-rpm Ultra ATA/66 HD (though I thought the bigger one was 80GB or 100GB -- is this possible?). Both PBG4s are in full working order, except their displays are dead (one from me dropping one of the 'Books on a tile floor from a height of about 4 feet, the other from the dreaded display-cable-through-the-left-hinge-flex-and-finally-break syndrome. Since the HDs in the PBG4 are Ultra ATA/66/4200 rpm, and the iBook G4 HD is a 40GB ATA/100 4200 rpm, is it possible to swap one of the PBG4 Ultra ATA HDs for the plain old ATA HD in the iBook G4?
    THIRD: Is it possible, or even worthwhile, to replace the iBook G4's Combo Drive for one of the PBG4 SuperDrives?
    Thanks for your help!
    Bart Brown

    Bart:
    The HDDs from the PBs should work fine if they are still functional. Any 2.5" ATA/IDE drive should work.
    In terms of the smudge, try a damp lint-free cloth. You may need repeated applications. Wipe in circular motions. You can probably try a mild soap like ivory, but wipe it off with a damp cloth immediately. Soaps other than ivory may have caustic substances that can hurt the display.
    In terms of swapping the optical drive for a SuperDrive it may work, although I am not sure if they both need to be the same make. Try it and let us know.

  • Downloaded iOS 7.0.2 and one of my apps (ultimate history quiz) changed size. It is so large I am not able to play the game because most of the print is off the screen on my iPad. Help!!!!

    Had an app (Ultimate History Quiz) that I played frequently. It came up on the screen in the smaller iPhone version. Then I downloaded iOS 7.0.2, and now the app is so big that the printing goes off the screen, making it impossible to play. I checked the app sore to buy another one, and it is no longer available on there.  WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE THE GAME TO ITS ORIGINAL SIZE???????

    Wait for apple to tweak things....or talk to the app developer. they haven't updated since the update and unless APple happens to fix whatever the issue is, then the burden is on history to make their app work with the iOS

    If you are ready to switch off, put to standby/sleep mode you laptop by pressing alt-F3-F4 or through menu, then I recommend you set in power options "when I close the lid-do nothing". In that case closing the lid will switch off the screen for downloading time.

  • How do I recover a window that has gone off the screen ?

    The upper and right hand sides of my "Adobe Elements Organizer" application window have gone permanently  off my Imac screen and try as I might, I can't drag or minimize this window to centre it on my desktop as a much smaller size and thereby recover control of it.    The missing window top contains some commands I can't access and so does the missing right hand side of the application window.  Have tried junking app prefs, turning off Spaces, starting and restarting the computer.   Problem does not occur in other accounts using the same app - so something is screwed up with this app's window size defaults or settings or prefs in my user account only.
    anyone have any suggestions?   
    Deleting all the "com.adobe.elements organizer.plist" files does NOT cure my problem.   I suspect it has something to do with Mavericks' poorly tested 'multiple displays' feature  --  that likely has some bugs in it.   This app window seems to think it's on a much bigger monitor than my 21.5" Imac.'   short of removing and reinstalling the app itself or getting a windows machine, I can think of nothing else to do.

    Not sure I follow what you mean:  When I open Mission Control, the entire troubled application window is then (hurrah !!!) visible on the Mission Control "Overview" screen - but when I c\olick in that app and I am returned to the normal operating screen, it's all cut off again.  It will not let me click and hold and then drag on its lower black border; I can only resize it in the direction that pushes it further off the screen. 
    This app's main window remains stubbornly frozen in position - up at, and extending right off of,  the top right of my screen and it does not respond to normal dragging - normal attempts to pull it down and see the lower right corner so I can resize the window by dragging its corner inward diagonally.
    Can you describe what you want me to try in different words.  By invoking I assume you mean opening mission control.   That I am doing and that's the only way I can see the whole window looming quite normal.   But it won;t render for me that normal way on a normal operating screen.
