  • 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.

  • I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guess

    I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

    rons,
    It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
    It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
    If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
    1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
    2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
    3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

  • Newbie M5 question - How does the Censor effect blur only the inside of the circle?

    I'm brand new to Motion 5. I'm trying to understand how an effect like "Censor" applies the blur to only the inside of the circle. I opened the Censor effect in M5 and studied it, but the answer is just out of my grasp. Can someone explain it to me, or point me to an article that will help? Thanks.
    Dan

    In Motion, in the Censor effect project, if you turn off the Effect Source (lowest layer) you'll see the "circle" used to "limit" the effect.
    Actually, this is just an illusion:
    The original Effect Source (in FCPX, that's whatever clip this effect is applied to) is Cloned (the layer is called "Mask"): a clone is basically a "rasterized copy" of the original -- what I mean by that is that Clones not only copy original objects, but also all their filters and other layers/effects if you clone a group of objects -- reducing them all down to a single layer copy.  This copy can be treated just like any other object in Motion (with an interesting exception*): you can add masks and other filter effects and/or behaviors to create new actions while the original source of the clone is left intact.
    In this effect, there is a Circle Mask applied to the Clone, as well as three different Filters: Pixellate, Gaussian Blur, and Brightness. These three different filters are turned on and off separately by use of a "pop-up" rig so that only one of the filters is applied to the clone at a time.  The gear shaped objects are Behaviors, in this case Link behaviors that "link" to the Circle Blur filter properties that is attached to the Effect Source which control the location in the canvas and the scale of the mask (Radius to Scale-X and another to Scale-Y). The Circle Blur filter has Onscreen Controls of a center point and a "radius" and those property values can be shared to other objects in a project via these link behaviors. The Circle  Blur filter effect is turned off in this project because it *only* needed as a *source* for the onscreen control properties (and those can be turned on for use in FCPX [Publish OSC] whether the filter type is used or not.)  All of the visible action in this project is created by applying other filter effects to the Clone copy and masking the area so that the rest of the source is uneffected while this effect (Censor) is active in FCPX.
    The *interesting exception: Clones can be "retimed" -- even timed to go in reverse. No other object (other than actual video) can be made to do the same. What does this mean? It means that you can create, basically, an "in-project" video of other objects in animation (without exporting the animation first) and retime them to loop over and over, go in reverse, speed up, slow down, etc... Clones are a very useful tool in Motion (not to mention "light-weight").  Their only drawback: they *flatten* 3D animations, so you can't apply "more 3D" effects to them because they'll just look flattened on a plane if you do. So any time you feel you need to duplicate something, ask yourself if you would be better served by a clone instead.

  • Replacing "Made on a Mac" on the inside of the back cover.

    I was told the "made on a mac" printed on the inside of the back cover can be replaced, eg : "made by...". Does anyone know how to do this? (iphoto '09)
    Thanks

    It is not a standard feature - someone posted a way by finding and replacing some file - search the forums or use google and see if you can find it

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:

  • It looked like a small bug going up and down on my screen then it stopped about 12 o clock a quarter of the way from the top, now it seems to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone seen this before?  And what can be done about it,  macbook pro

    I have what looked like a small bug that ran up and down the screen and then sudenly stopped in center upper half of screen and now appears to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone had this probelm before and what can be done about it?

    Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them.  They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent.  They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover.  The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free.  If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store.  For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

  • X230 8 nubs on the inside of the lid at the top, damaged the palm rest and has created a large chip.

    The 8 little bumps you put on the inside of the lid at the top, have damaged my hand rest to the point where it is chipping significantly;
    Do the warranties cover this? This is just regular use sorts of things I get from opening and closing my lid.

  • I-Mac 27 in - Cleaning the inside of the computer screen

      After a cleaning result in service of my I-Mac 27in. for a spot on the screen I was told was a internal piece of dust that was removed. Made me question access on my own for all cleaning issues related to the screen. As in accessing the screens inside surface, to clean the screen.
      Can this be accoplished with out servesing the computer at a computer store?

    It can be.   There are videos on uTube, I believe, and I have seen posts claiming it is easy to take off the screen with suction pads.   Personally, I wouldn't.
    If your machine is in good condition and you live near an Apple store or Apple premium re-seller, I would take the machine in and ask for a quote.  That should cost nothing and you may feel that paying is a better option than playing.
    I won't give you the link because I wouldn't want to feel responsible if the video led to problems.

  • 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 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!
