How to clean ipod screen

Hi guys. I recently bought a used iPod on the internet and it works great, but my only concern are germs. It doesn't have any visible grit but I want to be sure because I don't know where it's been. Any suggestions that don't require buying an expensive cleaner? Thanks!

From the manual
Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains—such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
Disconnect all cables and turn iPod touch off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the onscreen slider).
Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front of iPod touch is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass. Abrasive media may also scratch iPod touch.

How to clean the screen guard of iPod Touch!!!

I've installed a screen guard on my new iPod Touch 4G So can you please tell me how to clean the finger prints put on it. Any special cloth or anything

You probably should ask the company that made the screen guard. Otherwise, the microfiber cloth such as is commonly used to clean eyeglasses will probably work.
Regards.

how to clean the ipod touch screen?

The best way to clean the screen is with a microfiber cleaning cloth, such as sold for cleaning eyeglasses, or a soft lint-free cloth. You can slightly dampen the cloth (and I do mean "slightly) if there is material stock on the screen that gentle polishing won't remove.

HELP HOW TO MAKE IPOD SCREEN SHOW UP ON WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP!

Please help I want to get myh ipod screen to show up on my laptop but I don't know how. HELP!!!!!

I do not fully understand you question. If you mean you want to watch the screen of your iPod on your computer the answer is no. There are video-out connectors you can purchase for your iPod that will output VGA, composite and component signals. If your laptop can accept such a signal you can see the TV output on your laptop. However, the output does not mirror the iPOd screen and it only works with apps that support TV out.

Help needed. How to replicate IPOD screen on a PC

is there any possible way (an app or something)through which I can replicate (see) my ipod nano screen on my PC. the ipod screen has gone bad.

Here's what I want to do: using my MacBook, I want to re-format or "restore" the ipod nano to work on a PC using Windows.
You cannot. When you Restore on iTunes for Mac, it will format the iPod with HFS+, which Windows cannot read.
When you Restore with iTunes for Windows, it will format it FAT32, which will work iTunes for Macs or Windows.
So Restore it with iTunes for Windows and then you can use it with either computer. It will only take a few minutes to Restore it.

How to clean the screen?

I wanted to see what you guys(and girls) had to say about cleaning your imac's screen. mine has a couple fingerprints on it and it drives me CRAZY cuz you can see it when the screen is displaying dark colors(like black). i dont think i can just throw some windex on it can i? lol
thanks

I have professionally worked on monitors in medical operating suites and such for 25 years. Some of these go for $40,000-$50,000 a pop (can you say "medical device", but I digress), and I can almost certainly guarantee two things:
1. Alcohol and windex WILL eventually ruin the anti-glare coating of any monitor, and or cause imperfections in the screen.
2. I have found the best cleaner to be good old H2O and a couple of soft clean lint-free rags. It is amazing how well it actually works. In fact, if you read the care instructions, most manufacturer's specify water only.
Oh, wait, I just read Apple's guidelines and guess what? Water only!
I have never (take that back, I did back in the day until I learned better) used any cleaner on any monitor or television set I have cleaned other than water. And yes, I am rather fussy about fingerprints so they get cleaned often.
In addition, there is nothing better to take injection contrast, or sticky candy, off of a monitor better than warm water.
That's my 2cents.
Peace-

How to clean glossy screen?

Whats up...
Just wondering if anyone knows how to properly clean the MacBook Pro Glossy Display. I have Iklear but afraid to use it, I dont want to scratch the screen or something...
Any suggestions?

iklear has a separate product for glossy screens, check out their website.
You may want to take your laptop and submerge it in a bath...... no please don't do that...
The other supported way is to take a microfiber cloth, dampened with water and clean that way. Your instruction manual with the computer should also have detailed instructions on cleaning the display.
Regardless, I would suggest the iKlear products for glossy screens... make sure to click on GLOSSY!!!!

How to clean the dust inside the screen of the iPod Touch?

Hi everybody,
lately some dust entered inside the screen of my iPod Touch.
At first it looked like one or two pixels were gone bad, but it is just some annoying dust.
The problem is that I cannot figure out any way to remove it.
I tried a gentle blow from the connector hole but the result was worse.
Any idea on how to clean the screen inside?
I hope it is not necessary to go to an Apple Center and pay for the "cleaning service".
Regards,
Andrea

It sounds safe to use
'Falcon's® "Professional" Dust-Off® "XL" compressed-gas is the perfect product for removing dust from your color transparencies before making scans or copy slides; it's also great for removing dust from cameras, lenses, computers and other electronic equipment. Each 12 oz. disposable can comes with its own trigger value and a 4.75" nozzle extension (a red tube) that allows you to place precise bursts of compressed air just where you want it.'
Check the directions on the back... also check the contents. Normally anything like that will inform you of contaminants harmful to delicate electrical devices.
If its just compressed air make sure you keep the can well back from the source.. and unplug the G5 (take it somewhere you don't mind dust.. there no point doing this in situe, just for it to suck it back in again!)
Also.. as mentioned.. keep the can upright (as the air is decompressed the can gets very cold)

Not if you followed the instructions in your user manual.

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!

All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

My ipod went to the ''connect to itunes mode'' and i want to use my itunes backup but how can i do that. also when the ''recover your ipod screen'' appeared i accidentally chose not to show it anymore.

Reinstalling and backing up my macbook. Plus, how do I clean my screen?

Hey guys, three questions.
I've had my macbook for 8 months, and do you think I should reinstall the OS fresh? I'm not sure if it will make the macbook perform better and quicker?
Plus, if I was to do that -- what is the best method to backing up my hd?
And finally, my screen is uber dirty -- any suggestions on how to clean it?
Thanks, -- Kenny

Caspin,
Unless you are having specific issues (freezes, crashes, general "wonky" behavior), there should be no need to format and reinstall. If you are having problems... perhaps.
The first requirement for backups is an external drive. Assuming that you have one, the best option (IMO) is to use the built-in utility specifically designed for backups: rsync.
"rsync" is a command line application, so it is not the easiest thing to use. It is, however, the most powerful backup utility one could use, and it is completely free (and already built-in). If you are interested in its use, I would be happy to lend a hand.
Regardless of the method you use to make the backup, the important item to back up is your entire HOME folder. Assuming you use it the way it was intended to be used, meaning that you keep all of your files in it, even simply copying it in the Finder to an external drive is all that is required to effective back yourself up.
