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 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.

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)

How do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

how do i clean the screen of my macbook with retina display?

To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
Important: The bottom case of the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010) uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case.

How to clean the PSA in NW2004s?

Hello
Does anybody know how to clean the PSA in NW2004s? The PSA screen maintenance is not available anymore
Thanks
Ioan
PS: I read how to clean the active log of an ODS, but did not find anything on the PSA itself

Hello Andreas
I already found where the PSA was --> my question is more on how to <i>clean it</i>.
In the old 3.x, in the PSA management, it was possible to schedule deletion of requests from the PSA (every day for example, for all requests older than 1 week). I haven't found anything similar in NW2004s (yet). I was wondering if this was somewhere.
Does my question make sense?
Thanks!
Ioan

What to clean the screen with?

I just got a new Imac..first time having a MAC Computer...what do I use to clean the screen with?
Thank you for all the help.

See How to clean Mac products for information about cleaning your Mac, display, keyboard, mouse, and more:
iMac
To clean the display on your iMac, first shut down your iMac and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices. Next, dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Displays
Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display.
Warning: Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.

MBPr cleaning the screen, is it safe?

Hello guys,
I've been reading about people having the coating damaged on the retina screens. I'm almost afraid of cleaning the screen now. I've even ordered a protector film to prevent the coating from damaging. Not arrived yet so its still unprotected.
I'm wondering, is it a user error, cleaning with alcohol as an example? Or is the screen really this sensitive of cleaning?
I always treat my MBP as a baby, carry it in a laptop case and a laptop bag, so its protected twice. I'm not the type of guy that cleans the screen everyday, more like once a week or two weeks. Just with water, but i've even been reading bad things about water....
How do you guys keep it clean and undamaged? In my opinion, protector film is the best, right?

How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
Here is the start method to show the stage.
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        this.stage = stage;
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
        loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
        root = (Parent)loader.load();
        FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
        controller.setMain(this);
        scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
          //change the language here
1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
    public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
         try
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            scene.setRoot(root);
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
        catch(Exception err)
            err.printStackTrace();
So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
Thanks and best regards!

Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
Why don't you want to use option 2?
Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that). If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change. Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.
