  • Best Way To Clean iPhone Screen?

    I've had my iPhone since the day it came out and, as such, it's been jostled a fair bit.
    I use the cleaning cloth that came with it but sometimes there are spots that it can't get off.
    I'm afraid of using anything wet on it, even a damp cloth.
    Someone recommended alcohol-based solutions but I'm not sure.
    What is the absolute best way to keep this thing clean?

    Yup! That's what I was gonna say was rubbing alcohol. I just dabbed a cotton bud in a little bit of peroxide and wiped the screen; everything came right off. If you're concerned about damp stuff, you can squeeze out most of the liquid from the cotton bud first before rubbing it on the screen.
    To be completely honest, though, in my case I do not have to deal with cleaniness that frequently. I've had my phone in a case with a plastic cover film on the face almost since the day I got it. I don't remember why I pulled it out of it's case for a little bit there, but I do remember it got dirty and this was a great way to shine it up!

  • What's the best way to clean dust out of headphone jack?

    Best way to clean iPhone headphone jack?

    As randers4 said, use canned compressed gas and NEVER BY MOUTH.  That blows humidity and moisture right on the water sensor at the base of the jack, possibly voiding the warranty and corroding the jack and other parts.

  • What is best way to clean up startup disc?  What apps work?

    What is the best way to clean up my startup disc?  Are any of the clean up apps trustworthy?

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Also, Find Any File
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Moving iTunes library

    Moving iPhoto library

    Moving iMovie projects folder

    Things to consider before moving your iPhoto Library Folder to a new or external location like an external hard drive.
    If you make movies on any iDevices using iMovie for iOS,, then transfer the video footage, the IOS version of iMovie saves the footage as a movie file in IPhoto for IOS and will automatically get transferred to iPhoto for the Mac when you upload the video from your iDevice.
    Newer versions of iMovie will work and link those video files found in your iPhoto Library on your Mac, but those links can be lost if you move your iPhoto library and you will not be able to relink that video afterwards as the current versions of iMovie seem to not have a relink option for the video portion of the files (ironically, current versions of iMovie HAVE the ability to re-link the audio files from the video footage, though  (The inability to re-link the video files could be a possible bug or oversight in current versions iMovie).
    The lost video links show up as "blacked-out" video blocks with no content.
    Before moving the iPhoto Library
    If you make movies with iMovie using iPad or iPhone video then 'Consolidate' the files before you finish. This will gather (albeit by duplicating) all the relevant files in the project in one place. After consolidating/duplicating all of the audio and video footage to a seperate, independent location,it should be safe to move your iPhoto library.
    The potential way to circumvent this issues maybe to try and import  iPad and iPhoto video directly into iMovie which would be another solution.
    Good Luck!

  • Best Way to clean monitor???

    I want to know the best way to clean my screen on my MB Pro. Im afraid to clean it with anything because i dont want to mess it up... Any suggestion are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Wood fibre as you describe would not be allowed into the food chain and hence, not allowed into the manufacture of kitchen paper towel.
    Sorry Ned but that is simply not true. Paper towels are a paper product. As such they are manufactured just like other paper products.
    From Bounty's Web Site FAQ #4: How are Paper Towels Made.
    We make Bounty from trees that are processed into pulpwood. Long fibers from softwood trees, such as pine and spruce, are used. After debarking, the pulpwood is turned into chips that are cooked. The natural "glue" that holds the fibers together is removed, leaving a fibrous pulp mixture. The pulp goes through cleaners and screens and is bleached to make it absorbent. The pulp then goes through a high-speed paper machine. A translucent substance called resin is added to the mixture to strengthen the paper when it is wet. The water is removed and the fibers bond to form sheets of paper. Two layers of paper are combined with a thin layer of adhesive and embossed to form many tiny air pockets that rapidly attract moisture. Diamond shapes are pressed into the paper to give it a quilted pattern that holds water. Designs made with water-based printing inks are added to some Bounty rolls.
    Orange Sodas contain wood resin as well. Just because it has wood fibers in it does not make it inedible, just a poor choice for cleaning monitors, lenses and eyeglasses.
    That being said I would never consider a paper towel to be edible either. Bleach is not exactly on the food chain nor are the inks used for patterned towels. Those two ingredients aside humans lack the enzymes to properly split cellulose molecules into sugar molecules. They will pass through if you don't ingest huge amounts..but edible? Not really.
    And I would not presume anything is edible simply because it comes in contact with food, so does aluminum foil, plastic wrap, wax paper, teflon, Silverstone and other non-stick materials. None of which are edible.
    Anyway a very off-topic debate over what makes a good or bad choice for cleaning screen
    BTW have you ever really looked at what goes into a hot dog? I eat them but I try really hard not to thing about it <g>

  • What's the best way to clean a sticky home key?

    I just purchased a brand new iPhone, and much to my dismay, something is causing the home key to stick. What's the best way to clean such an area? Can I do it myself, or is it best left to professionals? Thanks for your help.

    Not if the device is in warranty and the issue is a defect not caused by your negligence. Take it in and let Apple take a look at it. If you fool around with it yourself and really cause some damage, then your warranty will not cover the repair. Better to be safe than sorry.

    What is the best way to clean a white Apple keyboard?

    Take the batteries out if applicable, and use a very slightly damped lint-free cloth. Be very careful not to get any actual liquid into it. A brush would also be useful for cleaning between the keys: if you want to get fancy you can buy mini-vacuum cleaners for this, such as this one.

  • What is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    what is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: 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.

  • WHat is the best way for other iphone users to share pictures with me?  I am doing a project which req. people to send me 100 pictures at a time that I'll be putting in my iphoto?

    WHat is the best way for other iphone users to share pictures with me?  I am doing a project which req. people to send me 100 pictures at a time that I'll be putting in my iphoto? thank you.

    ingridlisa,
    I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:
    iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
    Regards
    Léonie
    Added:
    that I'll be putting in my iphoto?
    Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

  • What's the best way to cleanly stop Goldengate?

    For routine maintenance/upgrades what's the best way to cleanly stop GoldenGate? I don't want to wait endlessly. I use this currently and seen no issues :-
    stop er *!
    kill er *!
    stop manager!
    Thanks,

    For routine maintenance/upgrades, just {noformat} "stop er *" {noformat} should be preferred; and when all processes are stopped, mgr can (optionally) be stopped. If you really are waiting endlessly for this to return, the real question is "why": then, perhaps there are other parameters that can be adjusted to make GG stop more quickly. (On the other hand, {noformat} "stop mgr!" {noformat} is harmless, the "!" simply prevents it from asking "are you sure?" before stopping the process.)
    I really wouldn't use "kill" unless you really have a good reason to (and the reason itself requiring the process to be killed should be analyzed & resolved). To "kill" a process shouldn't cause data loss (GG always maintains checkpoints to prevent this) -- but still it seems unnecessary, unless there really is something that should be killed. (Aside: I mean, I can kill -9 / "force quit" my browser and/or 'halt' my laptop every time as well, and it would probably be "faster" to -- but it can cause issues (and wasted time) upon restart: i.e., fsck, recover sessions, whatever. Same basic idea, imo.)
    There's a reason there are different commands to 'stop' processes (stop vs. stop! vs. kill). Just for example, "stop replicat !" causes current transactions to be rolled back; there typically is no reason for this, you'll just restart that txn when the process is restarted; might as well let the current one finish. And "kill extract" (I believe) will not warn about potentially "long running transactions" that can cause (painful) issues at startup (missing old archive logs, etc). There are probably other examples, as well.
    So if this really is "routine", then "stop", don't "stop!" or "kill". If there are long delays, see why first & see if they can be addressed independently. (This really is just a stock answer for a generic question, it would be irresponsible for me to answer otherwise :-) )

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Enter *#7370# followed by the security code which is 12345 by default. You must have a SIM inserted for this to work I believe (been a while).
    This will erase all data and restore settings to factory defaults.
