HT203671 What if I use a screen protector together with the keyboard top case?
Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?
According to some saying, the screen could be damaged by any accessory between the keyboard and screen because there is a coating on the screen. Then anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating the leave a scratch on the screen. So if I put a protector onto the screen, does it protect the coating from being hurt? Or does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?
So I'm sure you're aware of this:
My Retina Display has stain damage, HELP!!!
So if you're aware of that then you know there is a total controversy about this problem.
"Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?"
Some people there swear by them and some people say "anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating"
So I would say "absolutely maybe!"
Sorry to be like that but we have so little information about this problem.
"does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?"
I would say to avoid anything that has an adhesive on it. Some people have said that they cover their keyboard with a microfiber cloth but again I would say "this is purely anecdotal hearsay not based on science or actual testing."
I feel this problem is caused by outgassing of the keys or plastic in the computer.
If we knew more about the nature of the coating then maybe we'd have a course of action. I'd research the coating and see if there was a way to protect it.
Good luck!

Should I use a Screen Protector with Otterbox Defender or Griffin Survivor?
I bought both of these rugged cases and keep hearing that the actual cases can scratch the phones. Should I use a screen protector on the phone face and back as well? I assume that may not fit in the cases if I do that. Anyone have any experience with these cases?

I have the Ghost Armor (same as ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD) installed on my Iphone and my otterbox defender will be here today (anytime) I will let you know how it goes or how it fit as soon as my defender get delivered by FedEx.
Do you have the shield on the front and back? I read they do not fit in the Otterbox with both. I would bet one side may fit. I think if you use a thin one like the Verizon site has (PureGear Display Protectors) on the front I bet it will fit. I have the Survivor case and have not head a chance to try the shield with it. I got the phone, and first threw it in that case. I know what to get a shield on it if possible. Please let me know if it fits. -
Do you use a screen protector? for powerbook.
Do you use a screen protector for your powerbooks? if so, what do you use?
No, I thought about it and decided that a screen protector was not something I needed. The reasons:
* Key marks are generally finger oils, not physical scratches, and are therefore not permanent and can be removed using a damp cloth and gentle pressure. I have had my PowerBook for 2 years and this has held true. Various parts of my PowerBook have deteriorated far faster than the screen.
* I didn't want to have this additional thing to have to remove after opening the lid and to replace before closing the lid. To me that's annoying and complicates the experience. I love being able to get going as soon as I open the lid.
* I transport the PowerBook in such a way to avoid having other items in the bag compress the lid to the keyboard. If you carry a PowerBook in a backpack with 3 classes worth of textbooks and give the bag a hard landing on the library table with the PowerBook on the bottom, well, you might make some permanent marks that way.
* When thinking about all the things I might want/need to buy with the amount of money the screen protector would cost, I decided the screen protector was way far down on the list.
Nothing personal to those who find screen protectors useful, but that's the reasoning I arrived at. My opinion is that screen protectors are one of the many accessories that profit from unfounded consumer anxieties. -
Caution iP4 User's Using InvisiShield Screen Protector
The great news is that the below mentioned vendor's are aware of what I am about to share and are fully supporting iP4 User's incurring the issue at no additional charge.
My caution involves those iP4 users having installed the InvisiShield screen protector and attempting to place the iFrogz Luxe case on it, as it will inadvertently lift-up the lower corners of the Shield protector when you slip it into the lower portion of the case. Again, iFrogz is aware of this and are working on a retro fit of this case, issuing Gift Codes for replacement cases when they are available.
Note: according to iFrogz, the issue has to do with the internal felt padding in their Luxe case being a little too thick, creating this issue. I used the iFrogz Luxe with my iP3G for two years and its a Great Case, leading me back to it again with my iPhone.
As for InvisiShield, they honor their life time warranty and replaced my Shield at No Cost to me, and I still highly recommend their "Shield" as the best screen protector on the market.
With that, I have also discovered another iP4 case which was even more devastating to my InvisiShield screen protector, which was the Belkin Grip Edge Premium Leather Shell case. Another great fitting and feel case for the iP4, leaving one to feel like there isn't an attached case. Unfortunately, the CS person I spoke with at Belkin was rather flippant leaving me the impression I can return the case, period, which I will reluctantly do since it is a great case otherwise, but doesn't meet my need for the InvisiShield.
For those wondering why I attempted the purchase of another case... I just feel better having my iP4 protected in a streamlined case despite carrying it in my pocket. Unfortunately, despite explaining my concerns with the AT&T store rep having the Shield on it, he impulsively inserted my iP4 into the Belkin case with reckless abandon, lifting all sides of my InvisiShield protector...
Although creating another nuisance for me in having to replace my Shield again, I must reinforce that AT&T will reimburse both cases without question.
If your still with me... there is one more cautionary note I want to pass along to those of you awaiting the APPLE "bumper" to be shipped and that is, Prior to randomly placing it on your iP4 with the Shield on it, beware that APPLE may not have (nor should they have to take into consideration) considered the potential consequences of those users with Shield protectors on their iP4's when applying these cases or bumpers... so be very careful before placing your bumper case on your iP4. I have submitted this as Feedback to APPLE today as a caution and hopefully they will add this to a Disclosure note to the rest of us. I love my iP4 and have not experienced any of the expressed antenna issues reported... seeing I am still using it without a case and bumper awaiting my iFrogz caseironman1964, great observation... I personally believe there are a few variables coming into play... with the glass you mentioned being one and the chrome lip... although, having just looked at my teens 3GS, I noted the chrome lip your referring to, but there is still a small portion of the 3GS's screen which rises above the chrome which would be exposed to the sides of the Luxe case. All kinda mute when we compare against the new design of the iP4... so I am focused more on the glass top of the new iP4 screen as being incompatible with Zagg Shield? I must admit some ignorance here, but is the iP3(3GS) screen made up of a different material than the iP4? (non-glass vs glass??). If so, may be a whole other variable to consider why the Zagg Shield isn't adhering as well on the iP4, thereby not withstanding the slightest torque on its sides and corners??
The "tight fit" you refer to is due to the internal padding on the iFrogz Luxe case doesn't help... so hopefully their thinning it down will resolve the issue without compromising a snug enough fit in holding the phone in place.
The other observation I made was that the front side edges of the Luxe case "wraps around" more of the front edges of the iP4 then its 3G/GS predecessor Luxe case, which encroaches more on the Zagg Shield, causing its lower corners to catch and lift as you slide the iP4 into the lower section... likewise the top section of the iFrogz case doing the same when you slide it onto the iP4.
I have my iFrogz "gift code" and just waiting for their newly released retro-fitted case. I will report again as soon as I receive it. Thanks for replying back -
Are there any cons to using a screen protector?
Hi. I'm going to be getting an Apple smart case for my new Ipad Mini today at Best Buy and wonder if I should also get a screen protector?. I've been using it without one for 5 days and like the feel of it. I know a protector would keep the screen pristine, however on my Iphone 4S it seems to diminish the display by slightly blurring it. I'm using my Mini mostly for Ibooks. The other concern I have is trusting whether BB will get it on the device right but I would not want to try myself (too worried I would make a mistake!) Thanks for your guidance and loving my Mini. Missy
I was considering the same thing when I bought my iPad Air. I really enjoy using the iPad with no cover/case at all. The way Apple designed it. The cool aluminum and smooth glass. I understand you on those points. The same can be said for the iPhone. I have both a case and screen protector on my iPhone. I can remove the case, not the screen protector. Those aren't made to install and remove repeatedly.
I'd prefer not to use a screen protector because of how it blurs the screen but also because it affects the "feel" of the screen. Gone is the silky smooth feeling of the glass. I got a scratch on an iPhone screen once and use a screen protector now. I carry the iPhone with me 24/7 so it needs more protection.
My iPad Air is a different story. I also bought it at BestBuy and use it for iBooks quite a bit too! I use the new iPad Air SmartCase to protect it but haven't installed a screen protector. I haven't installed one because the screen is only vulnerable while I'm using it and is protected by the case while I carry it. I like how the display looks and feels without the screen protector on.
The good news is, if you decide to install a screen protector, you can easily remove it if you change your mind. I hope this helps...

Who is NOT using a screen protector?
I would like to hear from people not using any screen protector. Does your screen scratch up at all with normal use? I'd rather not apply one if I don't have to. I tried the one that came with my iSkin revo2 (the best skin case out there!), but I don't like it on there. The screen doesn't look as good as it does bare.
I never used a screen protector on my 1st generation iphone and never had any issues.
On my new 3g iphone - i did put on the invisible shield on the front and back. I didn't install it on the front to protect against scratches though - I installed it on the front as the invisible shield seems to GREATLY reduce the amount of finger smudges and smears - it made a huge difference in the amount of greasy fingers smears - works like magic, and it is also so clear that I really don't notice it on there.
I also put it on the back to keep the white plastic from getting scratched - it also has a slightly sticky feel to it - just the right amount which I like.
Best Buy sells the front side of the invisible shield for $15 - alot of money for sure but it's awesome. Check this vid on youtube - pretty darn strong

Could I use a power support screen protector to cover the back of my iPhone
I bought the ZAGG Invisible shield thinking it was the full body but realized it was only the front. Can I use a power support screen protector to cover the back of my iPhone 3G?
From my research, the ONLY way to get the back cover of the Zagg shield is to buy the complete package (front and back). The ONLY place I've seen this offered in online at zagg.com.
I'm only using the front Zagg shield and for the back, I'm using the Richardsolo.com Contour Flip. I've tried several other combinations and for my money, this is the way to go. -

When I started my Mac the screen was white with the Apple logo and power motion icon running. I attempted to turn off Mac then a message stating "Debugger called: <Button SCI>. Also "Waiting for remote debugger connection." What is my next step?
Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -
I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone
Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I want to make a Credit Roll and start off screen and stop with the credit remaining still in the middle of the screen. I know this can be done with CS6. Can this be done in Elements 11? Does Elements 12 or 13 have these options for Credit Roll.

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5. Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7. Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?
Is Mail still "spinning"? If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker. Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
Two "by the ways":
1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac. Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac. You might want to consider updating your system details.
2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it. -
I upgraded to iOS 7 to my ipad using iTunes. When signing with the Apple ID I get an error reading "There was a problem connecting to the server" anyone who knows what to do next
Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.

if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -
start screen comes on with the apple and spinning wheel but underneath it there is a bar. Once the bar fills up my MacBook goes off what is that? What do I do?
Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage. If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.
