My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away. I have tried using water, glass cleaner, and glasses cleaner wipes but it won't come off. Is this some type of defect or is there some other way to clean it?

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

Dark smudges on the screen that won't go away?

I was wondering if anyone had any solutions for getting rid of dark smudges on the screen that seem to be internal in nature. I have an early 2008 black Macbook. The spots are kind of annoying so I was looking for a solution. Is this something fixable?

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts

What do I do if my ipod classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen that won't go away?

I am not sure when this issue started, but my iPod Classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen. They show up on every screen now. The iPod is working, but I don't know if this is a sign of bad things to come. I have dropped the iPod a few times, but not regularly. I also wasn't sure if this means that it is time to update my iTunes software. I am going to try updating the software tonight to see if that fixes the problem. I have tried resetting the iPod, but it doesn't make the lines go away. I am just curious to see if anyone else has had this issue. I have attached pictures because it is probably hard to diagnose my issue without seeing it.

It is not a software issue, since you have reset it and update the firmware.
LCD screen do konk out due to high temperature, or when the pixels are static and burn the screen, like the 2 lines, that's the reason we have screen savers or the screen power down, when not in used. Some users do have screen ON all the time when connecting to iPod Docking stations.
Other defects are due to poor SMT, when the display chip is mounted on the iPod motherboard., normally a band of vertical or horizontal white lines across the screen, these appear within 1 year, and Apple do replace the whole iPod.
You can get LCD screen replaced at Apple, if it is still under warranty or get a 3rd party vendor near your area if you want it done cheaper.
Have a nice day.

When updating to the new iOS my ipod died and now I have nothing but a white screen that won't turn off and itunes now doesn't recognize it

When I was updating my ipod touch to the new iOS last night it died and now I have nothing but a white screen. iTunes no longer recongnizes the device and it won't turn off when I hold the power button or when I hold the power and home screen button.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS3274 My moms ipad has a message displayed on the screen that we cannot get off!! (won't turn off, or can't press bottom button to get out of it)

We have plugged it in and everything. The message says something about plugging it in to backup. She has had it plugged in to charge over night and nothing, also plugged it into her computer over night and nothing....Can anyone help???? Thanks!!

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await Resart.

A video that won't come off of my iPod Touch....

I downloaded a television episode off of iTunes and I can't get it off of my iPod.
I've tried making the proper sync options in iTunes, but nothing helps!
Please tell me I don't have to reset my iPod!

Also, many of my artists in my music library have fallen under "various artists" even though there's no sign of "various artists" on the info if I click on a particular song in iTunes.

Weird Coating ... Won't come off 1 day old computer

Hi All. I bought my macbook pro 17 " yesterday. Spent a fortune on it. I used it for the first time this morning and there is this weird coating on the bottom left side. I thought it was from my hands so I tried to wipe it off and it just smears and looks terrible. This was bought new at the Apple Store. I am upset. Is this normal? I will totally take it back to them because I didn't pay this much for an imperfect computer.

Doesn't sound normal, my (15") MBP has no such coating/film that won't come off. Take it back and ask for an exchange if you're not satisfied with it.

My ipod went totally dead. I have had it plugged in charging for 45 minutes and is just a blank lit screen and won't shut off. Is this normal?
