How to clean the new imac screen

i have no cleaning anything and i smugged the computer screen with the cleaning cloth it came with what is a good thing to clean it with?

Hi....that link specifically applies to mid-late 2007 iMacs. What about cleaning the iMacs from earlier (last year)? There must be some other way since they specify the type of iMac in the link???
Thanks

How long is the new imac update supposed to take?

I am currently installing the new iMac graphics firmware update, and its taken 35 minutes so far, is this normal? This seems to be a bit long to me, I've been staring at the blue screen with the moving circle and no change. Did anyone else's update take forever?

I see this on that link:
Do not shut off the power on your iMac during this update. Loss of power could result in your iMac failing to start up.
Do you have high speed internet access? If not, it probably shouldn't take 35 minutes.
From that page also: This firmware update fixes an issue that in rare cases may cause an iMac to hang during startup or waking from sleep.
So you were having problems with your iMac before you tried installing the update?

Is there a way to turn the new iMac screen off while running a song?

I know the key command is shift control eject-- and it works-- but only for a few seconds. Does anybody know how to turn the screen off so that it will stay off for any serious period of time?
I used to do this in my g5 by just turning the monitor off. great to trick to ensure that i'm listening to a mix w/ my ears--- not my eyes.
thank you

Thank you for all the responses.
I've tried the black cloth. it's okay-- but i wind up have to attach something to the iMac--- and my clients are very sensitive to the things look here. i think it's petty-- but whatever. Also-- i have to constantly be taking it on/off as i make ajustments.
As far as turning around goes-- this is okay. I've tried it. the thing is-- your the way your ears receive sound-- is significantly different when you turn around. not drastically-- but again-- i'm talking about slight adjustments anyhow. any little difference can throw things off.
And the idea of a screen saver-- well-- here's the thing: when i'm trying to think only of music-- i don't even want to have to look at a computer screen. Imagine if you owned a nice pioneer 1970's stereo receiver and killer set of speakers. But everytime you were listening to it-- you had to look at a some sort of computer image. just not that pleasant.
comfort is pretty important to me at this point and that's kind of the whole goal. to still sit where i sit, look where i look, but not have to see a lit display on a computer screen.
i will try the hot corner thing.
thank you all for your responses.

How do clean the new aluminum keyboard?

I have a new wireless aluminimum keyboard (the thin model) and recently spilt beer on it. Now the keys are all gummy. Does anyone know how to remove the keys to clean them? Or where I might be able to find some help?
I've seen some self-help sites for the older wireless keyboards, but not the new aluminum model. Any help at all would be appreciated as the keyboard is rather new still.
Thanks!
Sam

Just an FYI, I just recently cleaned one that had a mug of hot chocolate spilled into it. Half the keys didn't work after the spill.
I ran scalding hot water through it (basically it was 100% soaking) and then let it air dry for a few days. All the keys now work except one.
I'm tempted to rip off that key and manually fix it if I can (it's the f12/volume up).

I bought the little camera lens cleaning kit at Ritz Camera here in the US. I don't know what brands you have in your country but a camera shop should be able to sell you their version of the cleaner and cloth. Always spritz the cleaner on the cloth rather than the phone.
Thank you will look for that an buy some coz the finger prints are killing me!!

How much can the new iMac take on???

I am planning on buying a second Mac, so I was just wondering how powerfull the imac G5 2.1 really is. Can it handle programs like Final cut pro, Logic pro or Cinema 4d.
And how about games like "Star Wars Battlefront", "Battlefield 1942" or "Halo".
Does anybody have any of the above programs running on an imac?
Cheers,
Timbo.

Welcome to discussions Tim!
Well I can only answer part of your question, because I'm not much of a gamer, a computer gamer I mean I play quiet a bit of Madden 06 on my xbox, as for the programs and the performance of the iMac G5 I can help you on that end, I own a 17" iSight 1.9Ghz, and it can handle all the programs you mention above but logic pro ( I don't owed a copy of logic pro so I can't recommend it to you ) as for the others I run FCP, Photoshop CS2, and Dreamweaver 8 with only 512mb of ram with out any problems, now with more ram wich I got 1 extra G they run flawless. As for the games i'm sure someone here can help you on that end.

How long should the newer iMacs last?

When I bought this computer, I was expecting to get at least 3 years of use out of it, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any long term experience with the prior flat-pannel iMac's. Is it wrong to excpect 3-5 years out of these without any real problems? Just wondering what your experiences have been, Thanks

"And when they do break down more than they should Apple extends the waranties and service on them like they did with the iMac G5 first generation. So dont worry."
What do I need to do to get help? I've had so many problems with mine, all just after the 3-year extended warranty expired. Even in talking to supervisors, I'm hard-pressed to get anyone to listen. I finally got a replacement disc for the Apple Care which came with my warranty. I had never opened it before it expired, and it had been incompatible with my system since I'd bought it (but I didn't know, since I'd never used it). It took hours of calls and being on-hold to get a supervisor to approve even a replacement disc, which costs Apple little or nothing. The disc didn't work, neither did any of my System Restore discs, the discussions forum couldn't figure out what was ever wrong with my iMac, and now I sit here with all of our iPod music and family videos/photos on an external hard drive which our PC won't read and our iMac won't extract (see my post question about the blank disc). To get support, all I get is the standard line of, "that'll be $49 for each question, valid for five days of support for each question asked." If there's a customer service line where they really help, I'm really needing it! Who do I call to get it working again? I BEGGED my husband to buy me this computer, telling him that Macs were so much easier than PCs. I hadn't worked on a Mac system since early in 1998, and that was in a corporate environment where the IT department handled any problems so I never had to worry about it. My current computer-programming friends can't help at all, because all they know is PC. I really feel lost in a vacuum with my beloved Mac, which is sucking our bank account dry with all of the necessary upgrades and support which come free with a PC.

Screen Cleaner for New iMac

What is a good screen cleaner for the new iMac? I've tride normal glass cleaner and it is a glass screen but i seemed to just make a mess. Please help!

" Never use Windex or equivalent products."
I'll second this suggestion. When I first cleaned my new 2013 21.5" iMac, I used
a "windex" type cleaner, and it made a mess (streaked and everything). I actually though it was so bad that I had damaged the screen. Fortunately, with water and a microfiber cloth I was able to clean off the "windex" streaking.
The thing is, the new 2013 iMac screen covering is more "plastic like" in material, and not as "glass like" in materials (as previous iMacs may have been), so it may be easier to damage (scratch) the screen surface if care isn't taken.
Always use a soft microfiber cloth (preferably with no sewed cloth edges - find a seamless edge microfiber cloth), to clean the new iMac screens.
If you need to, this "auto" microfiber cloth is one of the best:
Mothers Ultra-Soft Polishing Cloth 16"x16" - Mothers MOT-155200
They are a hard to find style and are "no seam edgeless" style ... meaning they don't have a threaded sewed edge. Often many cheap microfiber cloths are made using a polyester sewing thread around tghe four outer edges, and even though the microfiber cloth itself may not scratch .... the four sided sewed edges can really scratch badly without knowing it.

Hey, can i use the mac remote control on the new imac 2013? if so, how?

hey, can i use the mac remote control on the new imac 2013? if so, how?

No,
The new iMacs no longer have an IR receiver.
If you want to control your iMac remotely.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Here's an app

Can you attach an external HD to the new iMac with a fusion drive?

I'm trying to decide how to configure the new iMac I am going to buy. Can you attach an external HD to an iMac with a fusion drive? I'm assuming it would be fine, but since the fusion drive is new, I don't want a nasty surprise. Some of the new Mac Minis now have fusion drives, so has anyone added an external drive to it?

This was a concern expressed in this thread: Worrying reply to Apples FAQ on new Fusion Drive
However, Apple has since amended the FAQ, clarifying their earlier Fusion confusion.
Therefore I believe the answer is yes, you can add an external USB HD. If Apple would only state that explicitly in this document, it would eliminate all doubt.

Does anyone like their new iMac screen?????

I am going to be recommending a new imac for some friends and wanted to know if there is anyone that likes the new screens on their iMac?
I know only people with problems post on here, but just wanted to see if there are any happy iMac users.
thanks in advance

For the past 4 years, I've been using the Powerbook G4 laptop and I prefer the matte screen display. When I saw the new iMacs, the only thing I didn't like was the glossy screen, but everything else was awesome about the iMac. In the end, I decided that the glossy screen wasn't SO bad. The only time it's really irritating is during daytime when the light reflects off the screen. Since my iMac is in my bedroom, I can just pull down the blinds and it'll shield the sunlight from 'attacking' my iMac glossy screen. Or, you can increase the screen brightness, and it helps take away the reflections.. not 100%, but most of it.
I've gotten used to the glossy screen now, and yes, it does make my Powerbook G4 screen look quite dull. Haha. I still use my G4 for school purposes, so it's not going into the can just yet...
Yeah, that's my take on the screen. So, yes, I do like the new iMac screen.

How do I wipe new iMac (3/2012) H.Drive and reinstall Lion and the preinstalled application?

I just bought a 27" iMac (3/2012) and migrated the data from my Mac Pro into the new iMac. It's now overloaded with the settings and files that I should have just put on an external drive, but I didn't. I want to erase everything and start with what OS and applications when I purchased it. It is running Lion OS X Version 10.7.3. Before the app store I understood how to do this when there was a recovery disc for the OS and Applications but need help on how to get it back to a clean new system (and I do not need to save any settings or information on the new imac).
Really appreciate the help
CJ

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

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.
