How to fix a scratch on the screen...?
Hey Folks,
While I was at the airport yesterday - some smart *** bumped into me and dropped my iphone on the ground (face first) and I got a scratch on the sreen maybe 2cm long and .5mm width (same depth, I would say - sorry for being very technical)...
Now when I turn on my iphone and when the light some on the screen there is a multicolor reflection coming from this scratch, which is super annoying cause when you are looking on your screen you can notice this multicolor reflection at all times.
So - how can I find a solution to this? Is there any? Or I just gotta live with the fact that I have a noticeable (and super annoying scratch on my screen).
Thanks,
-Joey

What did you use and how did you use it? Sounds like you do auto body work. Can you give the details and instructions on how to accomplish this.
No I'm not in the auto body biz, I do make detailing products though and my hobby is customs and hot rods.
I use a very high end polish that's not found in stores but can be bought online or by phone. The maker is Zaino Bros... http://www.zainostore.com These polishes and glazes form a very tough protective coat on high end finishes. The cars in this link http://dftowel.com/lsc are treated with Zaino so this should give you an idea what can be achieved.
To protect the phone I first lightly wiped it down with a dilution of Dawn dish detergent which removes all greases and oils that may be on the surface. Just dampen a sponge and wipe the surface.
I then polished and buffed with Zaino Z-2. This was done three times front and back.
For the final coat I lightly applied Zaino CS which is a hard glaze and allowed it to dry for an hour before using the phone.
The buffing towel used is a DF Concours Towel http://dftowel.com. (DON'T USE AN OLD T-SHIRT!!! IT WILL SCRATCH)
These steps will form a very hard protective coat on the phone and yet it is optically clear. Fingerprints, dust, smudges, whatever just wipe right off.

URGENT: How to fix an application with the screen resolution?
HI everyone,
I am desprate and need help.. I have developed an application with Java swing and awt (JFrames, JPanels and...). This application displays perfectly with 1280 x 1024 screen resolution but in a situation where the screen does not support this resolution, a part of my application will not appear. I can not even scroll down to see the reste of the components. Does any one has any idea that how I can resolve this problem! I mean how either I can make my JFrame or panel to scroll down or to change the size of the components according to the resolution!
Thank you very much and wait for a reply :)One of the possible reason of the problem is you must have hardcoded the size of panels and other container that is just right for the screen resolution 1280 x 1024.
The solution is set the size of the containers that depends on the resolution of the screen.
You have not explained much detail about the scrolling problem. But I suppose that you have a scrollpane in you GUI and you want to scroll the component inside it even at another resolution.
try using this
if p is the panel that is added in the scrollpane then set its prefered size.
p.setPreferredSize(resolution dependant size). -

How to fix MacBook Pro when the screen goes completely grey in start up?
This problem has been since yesterday and I need help ASAP please! But my MacBook didn't start up after it had died so I had to power it up with the power button. The problem is the screen with the apple logo emerged with the loading circle but the screen was red! I don't know what that means, but after the screen moves on, it goes to a completely grey screen and doesn't go any futhure. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I saw that it may be because of a faulty wire which my I have been using a USB wire to recharge my phone that might be the reason, but the computer continues to freeze and has troubles starting up.

I got an iPod Nano 3rd Generation and it has scratches on the screen, and the warranty is already expired. Can it be repaired and how much is it going 2 be.?
Hello HernanOtt,
Depends on where you have it serviced. Here are Apple's repair quotes.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead. Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

my iphone5 got two line scratches on the screen ,however iphone5 screen is gorilla glass2 then how scrathes were hapend on the screen ,kindly suggest me asolution
Gorilla glass has never been claimed to be scratchproof. Resistant, but not "proof". I am afraid there is little you can do about it but pay for a screen replacement or out of warranty replacement phone from Apple.

Fixing minor scratches in ipad screen
I have had an ipad for a couple of years now (original model, 32gb, wifi), and noticed in that last 6 months two small parallel scratches (i think) in the screen. They are both perfectly linear and horizontal, and only 5mm long. One is approx one inch above the other. I noticed them because on a white background they look like rainbows (best description i can give), and when i tilt the screen the colours on the lines move.
Is there any way to fix this? I am really careful with my ipad, and keep it in the apple case. I have no idea how they could have come about, they pretty much just seemed to appear one day (one about 2 months after the other).
Can anyone suggest anything. I have googled a bit, and could only come up with something called 'idrops' which you rub on the screen, but am worried about further damage being caused.
Thanks,
NickI doubt you can repair scratches in the screen very easily without damaging the screens coating. I use a good approved cleaner to thoroughly clean the screen. My favorite is iKlean but there are others. If the scratch is too noticeable for you then you might consider eventually purchasing a new iPad.
Bits of abrasive dirt could get caught between the cover and the screen when you close the cover. When carrying your iPad these bits might have worked back and forth to cause the scratch. I good rule of thumb is to check the screen for detritus like that before closing the cover. -

how to fix this error message The backup disk image “/Volumes/AirPort Disk/FARES DEL VALLE’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
The troubleshooting C17 is the specific article.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them. -
