HT3226 How do you safely clean an Apple keyboard? My keys have news print on them.

Does anyone know how to clean the keys on an Apple keyboard? Mine have news print on them.

If your keyboard is wired, first disconnect it from your computer. If it is wireless, power off the keyboard andremove the batteries. To clean the outside of your keyboard, use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

  • How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders etc to make it run faster?er

    How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders, etc to make it run faster?

    The only real and safe way to do this is to do it manually  looking through each folder individually.
    Many third party utilities claim to clean out a hard drive of various detritus, but some times will delete data that it shouldn't  and delete any other  important data that it shouldn't have.
    The only "safe" way to accomplish what you need to accomplish is to do this manually.
    Stay away from the OS X system folder!!!!!
    Hard drive getting full?
    You can download an app called OmniDiskSweeper.
    This app will allow you to see where files maybe able to be delete are located.
    If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you have images stored in iPhoto,,the only way to weed out duplicates is to do this manually.
    When you delete them, they go to iPhoto's Trash. Remember to empty this when you are done.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what are duplicates and what isn't
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    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 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.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    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.
    Good Luck!

  • HT5577 how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key..

    how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key and removed one of my trusted devices  they are both still associated but only one is trusted my macbook pro is still trusted but neither it or the 5c can get pass the log in section where it asks for the recovery key!!!!!!!!
    <Edited By Host>

    Going to need a lot more info on what your are trying to do and why you are doing it.
    Signing into an Apple ID is easy. Open whatever needs and Apple ID and sign in using the ID name, usually a email address, and the password associated with that name. you will then be signed in.
    And please refrain from the profanity.

    how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.
