HT2693 keyboard and screen protector affects display on retina macbook?

i have read the issue about the palm guard affecting the display here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4384
I am just wondering if using keyboard and screen protector will have the same effect if i put it on and close the shell cover?

If you want to try a hardware test, try holding down option-D (works for me for some reason). However...
If a SMC reset doesn't fix anything, then I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or AASP. You shouldn't be having such problems with a new machine.
Try the SMC reset first - I doubt that it will fix anything.

  • Foam sheet between keyboard and screen, Replacement?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anybody knows if this has a part number ? and where can
    I get one ?
    I'm wanting to know if I can get a factory replacement of the thin foam sheet
    that is part of the packing materials that goes between the keyboard and screen.
    You know, when your Powerbook was new, when you opened the lid
    for the first time, there was that thin foam sheet over the keyboard, speakers,
    trackpad the whole surface area. I guess it's more like the foam is the size of
    the whole screen area, to protect the screen.
    This may seem silly to want to replace this, but I have a PowerBook that's coming
    up on 3 years old and every time I have closed the lid (screen) I have put the thin
    foam in to protect the screen. So, the screen is perfect after 3 years.
    Much different than my co-workers PowerBooks. They didn't see any
    need for this foam and didn't use it and their screens are etched / scratched from
    the keys, mirror images of the keys scratched into their screens.

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure if Apple assigns part numbers for their packing materials, but you could either visit your local Apple store to see if they happen to have any of these lying around, or you could purchase a screen protector to do the job.
    I used the foam sheet for a few years, but lost it recently, so I went out and bought an iKlear Cleaning kit which included a polish cloth which is the size of the keyboard and trackpad area, and I find it does a fine job of protecting the screen.
    Go to klearscreen.com and have a look.

  • 5800 case and screen protector

    I bought my 5800 a week ago to use as a music/media device in addition to my n85. The 5800 came wit a nokia branded caseand the 5800 has a thinly striped screen protector on it. I have found that i can listen to my music whilst the phone is in the case without it affecting or muffling the sound. Great construction/invention there nokia.  The screen protector does have a cut-out for the sensor and the front camera usage.  Funnily enough i cannot actually feel the lines on the screen protector via my finger but i can if i use my nail or any of the provided stylus. Anyways, i digress. Can i keep this protector on the phone or will the ridges that are within the screen protector affect my phone's screen ie making scratches on the screen via my use either by the back of my nail or the stylus' and does anyone else have the problem i do that the screen doesnt seen particularly finger friendly to my touch, it likes to sit their looking at me or is it a case of my touch being too light? And is it easier to use for the majority of you with the tactile vibrate on or off? I have it on at the moment as i cant recognise whether  my touch has actually been recognised or not and lastly does anyone know if there is any rhyme or reason that would tell me when a menu or option requires two clicks or one. Its driving me mad. I wish it were all one way or all the other way.  I am running v20 by the way and looking forward to a version that has a faster ui recognition of my touch.  Many thanks.

    I took mine off straight away might replace it with a protector from Martin Fields.
    And i don't use the case either as i've heard from others that it can scratch rim around the screen.

    I read somwhere that firefox disables certain versions of java because it might give control of your computer to other malicious websites
    I think you have to go to the java website and down load the version you need and enable it in firefox's prefrences
    Sorry I may be a veteran in using firefox, but I know very little since I hardly had problems with mozilla untill just very recently hope this helps

  • Resetting Keyboard and Screen Lights

    Is there a way to revert settings for changing brightness of keyboard and display to the default? I was changing the brightness for the keyboard and screen, and now I want it back to how it was because I don't think it is adjusting correctly now.

    You can try deleting the preferences file called something like:
    com apple bezel services.
    You may find one in your home directory>library folder>preferences
    Plus there may be one in:
    macintosh HD>library>preferences
    Delete both and re-boot. It may or may not cure your problem. It did it for me when mine went hay-wire.

  • Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?

    I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
    They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
    I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
    P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.  

    Welcome to Malaysia mate!
    I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
    Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
    I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
    Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

  • Can I use a 15" MBP as keyboard and screen to work on bootable drive MBP 17

    Hi, all,
    I already asked this question in a post with other questions more prominant so I am trying this as a solo question. I have a MBP 17" intel Core Duo that will be going in for repairs. I have an OWC 1 TB drive formated to be bootable. Can I boot from the external HD from a 15" MBP Core Duo and use it essentially as a keyboard and screen and work on the 17" files with all the software or can I only transfer files to the 15"? The 17" has Leopard and Adobe CS3 (which I cannot do without) the 15" runs Tiger and I run CS2 on it.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes, even I had lot of problems with IE7 finally i had to instal windows XP all over again with IE6. Please note that even if you downgrade from IE7 to IE6 without installing windows all over again you will still get problem. the best and only solution is to instal windows from scratch and please ensure that the CD that you have instals IE6 and not IE7 because the CD that I had  installed IE7 with XP therefore I had to get another windows XP with IE6 and had to create recovery disk before so that I do not have to run around for drivers later.
    Hope this helps

  • The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

    I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
    For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
    For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
    Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

  • InvisibleShield and Screen Protector

    Hey Guys,
    I just got a new Macbook pro and I'm really excited about using it. At the same time, I would also like to protect it. Has anyone tried using Zagg's invisibleShield or installed a Screen Protector for their mac? Just wanted to find out the reviews on that from the online Apple community. Thanks!

    I use this:

    When I close the MBP I use the thin foam that came with it to cover the keyboard.

  • I have this weird stain in my ipad screen and screen protector that has formed around a crack in the glass.

    Some time ago my ipad 4 screen slowly began forming a long hairline crack at one corner and near the home button for some reason, perhaps daily rough and tumble taking it to class and whatnot.  The crack is not very noticeable so I have delayed getting the screen repaired. 
    I used to have a Boxwave Cleartouch Ultra screen protector on, and as directed, would peel it off now and then to give it a good wash(it's one of those reusable ones with adhesive on the edges only and yes they are meant to be washed now and then).  One day after doing this, I noticed a strange puddle of tiny round stains clustering near the crack.  I didn't think much of it until I equipped my ipad with a stronger ipad case with it's own screen protector.  The stain seemed to cling onto the Boxwave screen protector even after cleaning.  Now with a new screen protector the stains around the crack were these tiny rainbowy areas around the crack that sat on top of the glass and were visible as just some kind of smudge when the screen was turned off.  I recently discovered the stain has transferred to my new screen protector when I remove it and is visible when you look at it at an angle when removed from the ipad. Not even dish soap seems to get rid of it. 
    I am wondering what this stain could be, I mean there is no liquid pooling out of the digitizer or anything.  One idea I have is that maybe some adhesive from the first screen protector got loose after washing and pooled into the crack and thats why they have a smudgy appearance that they got when wiping the screen dry.  There are no liquid stains under the crack however.  Another thing I thought of was maybe something to do with oleophobic coating and the crack itself.  I am also wondering how  to get rod of it safety.

  • My cat sat on my keyboard and now my desktop display looks like it is in night vision with color. How do I get it back to it's original display?

    My cat sat on my keyboard and changed the display. Now the coloration and brightness looks like it is in night vision with a bit of color. It is similar to one of the photo booth effect options. How do I get it back to normal?

    Hi JoeBeth,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your colors have become inverted on your display. This is a feature of Universal Access. Please refer to the attached article for information on this feature with instructions to toggle it on and off. 
    Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)
    Have a great day,

  • Ifrogz case and screen protector

    I had an ifrogz case on my 3G and really liked it. Bought one for my 4 but, even with ifrogz own screen protector, when I put the case on after installing the protector, the edges of the protector lift up. Seems like the only way to fix this is to trim the protector. You would think that protectors from the same company as the case wouldn't have this problem. Didn't mean for this to turn into a rant; I guess I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem and might have a solution to it...

    iFrogz is evidently aware their case causes problems with screen protectors. The felt inside the case is too think and the result is what you have noted. I also have an iFrogz case, but I received my free Apple case yesterday. It's the Incase Snap case and I REALLY like it. It provides the protection I need, and it will permit the installation of a full screen protector without fear the edges will bubble up.

  • Can I wirelessly display the screen of my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro to a Thunderbolt display ?

    Can I wirelessly display (like via bluetooth) the screen of my 15 inch, late 2013, Retina Macbook Pro, to a thunderbolt display ?

    They can fix it, but not for free. Macbook repairs supposedly are classified into 3 tiers by an Apple Rep, I for least amount of damage and III for most. I have a dent in the corner of my MBP and it would require new housing to get it fixed. $450 (tier I) or ~half the cost of a Macbook Air on education discount... HA.
    If it doesn't affect your everyday computing, I wouldn't worry about it. It's awful, but welcome to the club
