I am having the hardest time with the screen protectors! HELP ME|!

So I bought the Anti-Glare screen protector from the Apple Store fir my iPhone. The first time I out it on, it looked good, but when I really looked at it, it was crooked around the Home button which looked really stupid, so I took it off with some tape and repositioned the protector, but yet again, can not get it straight, but worse of all, because my house is filled with flying dust, the back of the protector is filled with dust and lint and smudges, so now I cannot use the first one, so i open the other and what happens? THE SAME THING!!! So I have 2 questions.
1. What am I doing wrong, what is the best way to put these on? Should I take the protector off just a bit and place it on the phone and then let it fall into place? Or take it off completely and then place it and hope I get it straight the first time?
2. I am going to buy some new protectors (Same brand and everything), but I am wondering, would the Apple store give me an exchange despite the fact I did this to the protectors? Has anyone done that before?
Thanks!

It took me THREE OF THE THINGS before I get one of them on -- luckily, once on, it has never had to come off, and that has been since July.
I ended up putting a small piece of scotch tape at the bottom right corner, which helps you lift it up and reposition without having to lift it too far that desk lint and things get on it again.
I actually got so fed up after the first two, when I went back to get the second package of them (since there are only two of them per pack) that the "Genius" assisting me said he was a pro and would put it on for me. After the "Genius" had himself used up two of the protectors and it still looked awful, he just gave me another pack and wished me well.
The third one was the charm though, and it has worked perfectly ever since.

Having a horrible time with this hardware - VZW help very much appreciated

This post is in regards to the HTC Droid DNA, and details my current support dilemma with VZW. If a VZW rep could please read this and comment on a way to find a solution, or if any other users have been in a similar position, your advice would be appreciated.
It is no secret that there is a defect with the HTC DNA, which could otherwise be an excellent device. The problem: supposed firmware issues which cause the device's SIM card to dismount at random. Any calls to VZW will tell you that they released an update to fix the device. The problem: the success rate is very, very low. I suspect the problem is HTC's fault and not Verizon's, but I do feel it is up to Verizon to handle these issues with dignity.
I have this problem, to an extent that seriously makes this phone little more than an advanced paper weight. And with it being a device used primarily for work, to have the SIM card dismount upwards of 20 times a day is simply unacceptable. The device is defected, well documented, and very much experienced by a LARGE percent of the user base. Spend 5 minutes Googling and you'll see that there is no shortage of people experiencing this problem. The worst, is looking down at my phone only to find out that again, the SIM card is dismounted, and I'm not receiving work calls and people are becoming increasingly frustrated with me. Sometimes 1 reboot fixes it (for who knows how long), sometimes it has to be rebooted 4, 5, and even as much as 10 times to correct it. Sometimes you just keep rebooting and the issue never corrects itself. I've almost thrown it at the wall several times.
Now, here's my problem with Verizon.
They will replace the device with a refurb, but NOT FOR FREE if there is any visual physical damage to the phone. I had an idiot crack my screen about a week ago, and while I can understand why Verizon would have policies in place to fine individuals for returning broken phones (duh, that's probably why you want a warranty replacement), it is without question that a cracked screen has anything to do with this problem. It's a VERY well documented issue. A problem that I had before cracking my screen, and one that has becoming increasingly problematic, so much so that this thing isn't even a phone anymore.
I spoke with a Verizon rep who was happy to send me a refurb (what awesome service, I was thinking) but who at the last minute dropped on me the bit about any visual damage to the phone resulting in a non-refundable $299. The rep sympathized with me as she had the exact same problem with her DNA and had to have her phone replaced as well, but informed me that I was basically out of luck. Visual damage to phone once received by warehouse = $299, regardless of the fact that the nature of the return has nothing to do with the screen, and that it's very well understood that this is a manufacturer problem which has nothing to do with a cracked screen. Here's the kicker: I asked her if I could perhaps pay some sort of smaller fee for the broken screen - nope. I asked if I could take the phone to a professional to have the screen replaced, then send it in for replacement - nope. I asked if there was anything I could do to pay for the marginal damage of the screen crack - No, no, no.
This is absurd. I am not trying to cheat anyone but am left with no choice but to suffer with a defective device simply because Verizon does not care to make any sort of logical exception in this case. That is the epitome of poor customer service. There will always be exceptions, and a good company will recognize that and make sure their customers are cared for. If I did this with my customers, I'd be out of business. Too big to fail, I guess - the worst thing to happen to consumers.
Verizon needs to step up and take responsibility for selling a faulty device. I'd be happy to pay for the OEM parts to replace the screen assembly so that my device can be swapped with one that, you know, like works and all? Why can't this be arranged?

@Eliz404,
Having a working phone is definitely a must! I understand how frustrating this whole situation has been for you and I apologize for all the inconvenience.
You mentioned that the phone screen is cracked. Although this may have not caused the issues you are experience, it voids the warranty. If we replace the phone through the warranty you have to return your defective phone to us. Once the phone is received and physical damage is found, you are billed $299.99 for the device.
If you have insurance you can file a claim here http://bit.ly/07CrqPK and all you will be responsible for is the $99 deductible.

I am having a recurring problem with my screen suddenly enlarging to the point where I cannot use it! The power button is also unresponsive. When it does work and the screen is large, I cannot access the slide at the top.....

I am having a recurring proble with my screen suddenly enalrging to the point where it is unusable. The power button is also not working. When I try to shut off the phone to restart it, I cannot swipe across the top to power off vbecause the screen is so big and unresponsive. Can someone help me with this problem?

Double tap the screen with three fingers to switch off zoom, then go to setting and disable it to make sure you don't switch it on again by accident.

I'm having a hard time with my sound blaster z sound card to sync with cs6. Can anyone share with me

I'm having a hard time with Adobe CS6 synching up with my soundcard. Latency settings and other applications are challenging at this time. I had 3.0, but my Windows 7 computer is now "deceased". Please help.

I endorse everything that Steve just said but to try and get you going while you're shopping for an audio interface more suitable for sound work than use as a doorstop, try the following:
Go to the Windows sound control panel and make sure the SB card is selected as the default on both the Recording and Playback tabs. On the advanced menu for both, set the bit depth and sample rate to either 16/44,100 (CD) or 16/48,000 (Video) depending what suits you best. Note that your SB card only works natively at 16/48,000 so anything else involves a conversion that the card hides from you.
Go to the Windows Control panel and, under the sound section, turn off all system sounds (since they can hijack your sound card). Close every other application that may want to use the sound card (internet for example).
In Audition, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. Set the device class to MME. On the drop down menus set the Default Input and Default Output to be your Soundblaster. On the Master Clock set it for the SB Output (this'll likely be default). Set the latency at around 200ms (you may need to increase this later if your playback stutters--or you can try decreasing it until you get stutter, then take it back up a bit. Set the sample rate to whatever you selected on the Windows Sound Control Panel.
The Soundblaster will likely have installed it's own control menu. Go to this and select Mic or Line as appropriate for the input and whatever you need for the output. I can't be more specific as SB keep changing what they call things.
Hopefully this'll get you going even if it's not the best compromise for quality and latency.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

My I pod screen is frozen. I've cleaned it multiple times, and have even taken the screen protector off. Yet it still won't sense my touch. Can anyone help!

Before taking it in to the Apple Store... Try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Does the ipod touch come with a screen protector in place?

My home button is not working. It seems like its stuck pressed down. I took off the screen protector that I put on it but it looks like there is another one on there. Does anyone know if it comes with one? Does anyone know how to fix the Home button. I am using Assistive touch but want the Home button to work.

That is just a protective sheet to prevent dust and other things from getting on the screen before you first use it. It is not intended to remain on the screen as a thir-part screen protector.

Is the screen protector/(transparent shield) necessary? If so which brand?

Is the screen protector/(transparent shield) necessary? If so which brand?

For what it's worth, I've had an iPad since they were first released (we have two in the family, and I'm now on my second for my own use) and have never felt the need for a screen protector. I do however use cases that cover the screen when it's not in use. As KP said, it's really up to you, and depends on how the iPad will be used (and by whom; use only by a responsible adult is a different matter from use by an entire family) and how you feel about the screen.
Note that people have reported issues from time to time with the touchscreen responding correctly when a screen protector is used.

Has anyone removed the screen protector from Otterbox?

I have the Otterbox on top of Apple's anti-glare screen protector as suggested in this forum. I'm having way too much trouble getting a response out of buttons on the edge of the screen or in the corners. I touch and touch, even press hard but no response. Even getting the phone to snap a picture is near impossible. I have no problems when I remove the Otterbox case, so I know it isn't a screen issue. I love the feel and protection afforded by the Otterbox case and would like to use it. Has anyone removed the screen protector from their case, and if you have, can you comment on the subsequent performance of it? Of note, I use the Otterbox case because I have young kids who use the phone - we don't have a landline. In other words, it's not dust protection I'm looking for, but impact protection. I hate to tear up a $50 case if it won't function anymore.

I removed the screen protector that was part of the Otterbox case and it now works much better. Still have the Power Support anti-glare screen protector on it. Also removed the small cover over the camera lense and now my pictures are more clear. Finally, I removed the covers over the speakers and I can hear the speakerphone again. These mods made the case an A+ for me. A little less protection but much better functionality.

Go into the Music app and access the iTunes Store through it. You should on have to do so one time.

Taking off the screen protector

I just got some new tubes for my nano for xmas, and as you know they don't come with a screen protector. I managed to find one that came with my old case (ironically, that one didn't even need a screen protector. Go figure) So, I put it on my nano, and guess what. I did it wrong. It has air bubbles & you can see a finger print that's on the other sticky side. So, I tried to get it off to fix it, but it's not coming off!! I don't want to start clawing at it for fear of more scratches. Is there a trick to removing screen protectors?
Also, once it's removed I probably won't be able to reuse it, so does anyone know where I can get a screen protector by itself? I tried doing a search for them, but the only types of things I've seen are the full body wraps, and that's not what I want.
Thanks!

Sadly, I have yet to use oen for the nano. I've used them on other products such as my Nintendo DS, my sony PSP, and my smart phone.
I hear www.theinvisibleshield.com is a good source, but they may be very aggrivating to apply.
If they are like any other static screen protector, they WILL be very frustrating to apply
Good luck!

Incase slider case with a screen protector....

I was wondering if anyone has the Incase Slider case yet...and if so, is anyone using a screen protector with it? If so...which one are you using and do you have any issues with getting the case on with a screen protector on? The reason I'm asking is because I was using the ifrogz luxe case and I could not find a screen protector that I could get the case on without the screen protector coming back up at the edges. I now have the Incase Slider case and before I waste anymore money trying to get another screen protector, I'd like to find one that works without coming up at the edges. Anyone have any recommendations on what is working for them? Thanks in advance!

i just recently bought the incase slider since they are new to market for the iPhone 4. when i bought the incase slider from best buy i also purchased the zagg invisible shield and i asked if they could install it for me cuz im bad at doing those kind of things and the guy from best buy mobile said that he would be more than happy to install it. It costs another $8 for them to install it for you (generally takes 15-20 min to install but they do a really good job). By the time he finished i had to wait a day for the invisible shield to fully dry but once it was i slid the incase slider case on my iPhone 4 and it fit perfectly without the screen protector coming up.

Im looking for a case with a built in screen protector Help

Im looking for a case, thats semi-slim, with a built in screen protector, and possibly waterproof.
any suggestions

I think if your looking for that kind of protection its pretty much going to add bulk...I've searched through hundreds of cases and those are the smallest with built in screen protectors...im 5' tall 100lbs and the ballistic fits in my pocket comfortably...I've never seen an otterbox on one so I can't truly compare them...I know I found a leather flip front case with a screen protector on Amazon too...very little protection and far from waterproof though...they have baggy kind of things that are waterproof that you can use your phone through...I don't know if it would fit in with any kind of case on it though

I am having the hardest time with the screen protectors! HELP ME|!
