Screen coating no longer effective
The screen coating on my 3GS, originally so effective at rejecting fingerprints, has lost its inability to do so. Is there a treatment that can be applied to the screen that will restore this ability, or would I be better off just getting a screen protector?
Thanks,
David
I had the same thing happen to my 3GS but it was after just two months of usage last August. Since it was so soon after release, Apple just gave me a new one. According to the warranty though, it states that it will not cover this but I would still take it to the Apple store just in case.
I have been using a screen protector on mine ever since the replacement.

Best screen protector with long lasting oleophobic coating?
Which is best screen protector with long lasting oleophobic coating? I know tech armour and nilkin for example.
I'm not sure anyone here could answer that difinateively but my 2 cents would be that an actual adhesive could perhaps right away or over time interfere with the factory coating...
There are a lot of screen protectors that rely on static cling that work just fine like the ones I use found at the link below... I've used those since the first iPhone I put a cover on years ago and have never been dissappointed at all...

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.
Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
HerbiePlease follow these instructions:

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 8 and still checking on the settings. When I happened to swipe on my screen for too long, it zoomed and I can no longer see what's on it. I can not even unlock it. I can not use my iPad anymore. What shall I do?
Try double tapping with three fingers and see if that reduces the screen image. If it does, unlock the iPad and go to Settings>General>Accessibility>zoom>Off. If double tapping with three fingers doesn't work, try triple tapping the home button instead.

Installed SMC 1.3 update on 17 inch MBP - screen will no longer turn on!
Hey guys I downloaded this firmware update today on Software Update. The fan revved full speed (like it says it will) then stopped. After the restart my screen will no longer turn on. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, connecting an external monitor, and every other trick I can think of. The computer is still running as I can log in and use the function keys to change the volume up and down but the screen is solid black.This is the first issue I've had with the computer (purchased December 2007)and I DESPERATELY need to get it running ASAP! Anyone have any ideas?
[edit]
To elaborate, the first time I called Apple they told me to hold the power button until the computer made a noise and then boot up. That turned the screen back on and I got in and cleared the cache as they said I should. Next reboot screen was black again. Then when I reset the PRAM I got in. Reboot, black screen. Then finally when I reset the SMC I got in, same deal on reboot. Now none of those tricks works. Any way to downgrade the SMC? At least the previous firmware worked.
[/edit]Hi Balance ... in this case the weak link in the chain is your local dealer. It is odd that they "refuse clients" and Apple should be made aware of that as they are part of the support structure. Have you tried finding a kind ear at Apple who will take this on and intervene with a phone call to your local chappies?
I have also been an Apple purchaser for >20 years and this is the first time I have had a software update cause a hardware problem ... perfect storm ... a weak NVIDIA chip (mine originally passed apple tests but those tests only caught the really bad defects), an odd temperature response after the update, and a failure response that most service shops call "intermittent" (which makes them suspect it is your fault instead of Apple's. This is now a known issue linked into the update so if you find the right guy at Apple you may be able to persuade them simply to ship a new motherboard to you or the dealer...
Good luck but what, exactly, is a viable alternative to Apple?? I still keep my slide rule in my back pocket (and am now working from an old macbook while my MBP was in the shop for a week). -

DESPERATE PLEASE HELP So my mother got herself an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and barely asked me to set it up last night, (BRAND NEW NOT OPENED YET).. I set it up not plugged into iTunes (directly on iPod). I was setting up a new iTunes account for her (got passed Wi-fi set up and location services) and as I was doing that, it mysteriously froze somehow. So I held the home button and power button down simultaneously, which I thought would restart the iPod/shut it down.. so it did, and it was on the apple logo screen for a LONG TIME.. and when I checked after a long time, it was black. I tried to turn it on, charge, and plug it into itunes (iMac computer) and it won't turn on!!!!! PLEASE HELP
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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My full screen function no longer works in Pages after latest software updates for Pages and Yosemite.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomena? It flashes to full screen then immediately reverts to the normal display.Yes it does.
Open your Pages document in Pages v5.5.1.
To enter full-screen:
Pages > View > Enter Full Screen (or control+command+F)
Hover over the green traffic light in your Title bar. It will show diagonal full-screen arrows. Click.
To exit full-screen:
Hover over the Document Title bar, then Pages > View > Enter Full Screen (or control+command+F)
Move your pointer over the Document Title bar, and press the green traffic light again -

BP Maintenance Screen - Can no longer size it or use the form settings
All the other screens are fine, but the BP Master screen no longer has the icon in the top right that allows me to maximize the screen and I cannot drag the screen wider or bigger. Also, the Form Settings for this screen is no longer active.
Any ideas?Sorry for the lack of information:
1) I'm using the manager's login
2) 2006A SP01 PL41
2) This db has been around and in use for a few months now and I haven't seen this problem before.
3) I had just updated the Payment System Tab - Payment Methods. I have two to pick from and I set the other one to the default and unchecked the original default one. -
I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12
Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.
jajajoja
Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Difference Matte As Substitute for Green or Blue Screen Key
We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best wishes.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
