How to clean lint and dirt off the "Inside" of the Smart Cover?

I have the gray Smart Cover and love it.
Today I noticed some lint on the Inside of the cover - can I use a lint brush on the inside of the cover to clean it?
I do not want to damage the soft felt that rests against the screen.
Thank you.

I've had this same problem. I have the black leather cover. The first few days it seemed to stay secure. But now it slides around much more and definitely falls open if I hold the iPad upside down.
Seeing how everyone seems to have eliminated the magnets of both devices as the culprit, I think I know what the problem is. It's the joint flexibility. Fresh and never folded the joints are more stiff, which means it doesn't buckle/pop up easily. After a few days of folding though the joints are much more flexible, causing them to buckle if the cover slides around. Since the magnet hold it in place is at the edge of the cover, if the cover slides a little the magnets are no longer aligned, hence the falling open.
If I'm right, then sadly this is a design flaw that can't be remedied by replacements.

    Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password.  Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.

  • Cleaning Lint/Dust/Dirt From the Docking Port, Headphone Jack, Mic & Spkr

    Does anyone know if you spray canned air (Dust Off) into the docking port, headphone jack, mic & speaker ports, if the air will blow the lint/dust/dirt deep into the phone or possibly under the screen where you can't get it back out?

    i just use a toothpick and dig it out. the dock port and headphone jack are fairly closed off so the chance of pushing the lint / gunk in deeper is pretty low. so far no issues

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Double tap Home button, delete Mail from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

  • Printing half on and half off the paper

    We purchased the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday.  While the unit will print, it is printing the image half on the page and half off the page on 5x7 paper.  How do we get it to consistently print to the center of the sheet so that I am not wasting any more paper?
    The 4x6 paper will not print at all- it will only jam and destroy the paper. 
    Paper type: invitation weight matte paper being fed from the photo tray.  Ironically, the 3.5 x 5 images all printed perfectly.
    Anyone?  Help!

    Hi - A couple of things to check.  First, make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver (File, Print, Preferences) and the app you're printing from are both set to the appropriate paper size.  I'm assuming that is the case if it prints fine on 3.5x5, but can't hurt to double check.  Second, sometimes there can be an accumulation of dust on the rollers that can cause the pick rollers to slip initially.  Try cleaning those by following the steps in this document.  This isn't normal for a new printer, but worth a try.
    Hope that helps.

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the machine. The message is in several foreign languages beside english, and there is not way to get rid of it. The curser is inactive.

    I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the computer. The message is in several languages and completely takes over the computer disabling the mouse and all other functions. The only option is to unplug the computer or turn it off. I'm concerned that this is a virus. It does not look like it's related to Apple or the imac OS.

    That sounds like a kernel panic. These are generally hardware related, often caused by poorly seated or fauly RAM.

    How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
    It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
    But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
    Is there a solution for this??
    If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

  • How to Turn Off the Smart measurements box off in CS4 MAC

    We just switched to CS4 at the office and I found a new anoying feature to me. When I resize or move a box in the page, a black box with measurement appears near my cursor. I truned off the "smart guide" in view and I un-checked all the smart guide option. Please tell me how to took that off please!

    I agree with Sandee that the transformation values are a great feature, and I wouldn't think of turning it off. It's not accessible from the contextual menu, only from preferences.
    Robert, holding down the Control key on the Mac (after you start moving an object), disables the display of smart guides, but not of transformation values. The only way to turn off transformation values is to turn off the preferences Sandee mentions in post #1.
