Screen not as smooth

So, Ive had my iPhone less than a week. I use a microfiber cloth to keep it clean. The last couple of days I've noticed my finger doesn't run as smoothly over the screen. It sort of gets stuck or squeeks like the iPhone is "squeeky clean and I've rubbed off the coating? Is there a coating and is this why iPhones are so scratch resistant or is there no coating and they are resistant by virtue of Apple's use of a very hard glass??

Your finger is squeaking across the screen because you've got it too squeaky clean with your microfiber cloth. Give it a rest and allow some of the oils from your finger to accumulate on the glass and you will find that this natural lubricant will give you the glide quality that you seek...

IPad screen not as smooth

i've been using my iPad2 for around 6 months now. but the screen is kinda sticky. it's not sticky that much but I cannot softly slide my finger on the screen.
i do not use any chemicals or anything as of such to clean my iPad screen other than a soft piece of cloth that came with the Macbook pro. my hand is not oily and if it ever gets, i always wash it.
i wish my fingers slide over it as smooth as the iPhone my brother owns.

Perhaps you do need to clean the screen with a slightly dampened lint-free cloth, rather than just wiping it with just soft cloth.
I just use a damp soft tissue.

Do you clean your iPad screen? Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended. There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Does Not Run Smoothly

Hi,
I just upgraded my iMac and MBP from the Mac OS X ML 10.8.5 to the latest OS X Mavericks 10.9.3.
The new system does not run smoothly.
No matter it's the iMac or the MBP, the screen freezes for a very short of time whenever I try to switch to a different running program(especially when I try to switch to other programs from the Safari).
So what's causing the problem? What should I do about it?
Thanks.
Ed

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

10.5 is not that smooth on my G5 powermac - suggestions why?

Hello everyone;
Just a quick question on OS 10.5.
I just upgraded from 10.4 and I have to say that 10.5 is not as smooth as I thought it would be on my machine.
I have a Dual 1.8 Gh/z G5 Powermac with 1.5gig of RAM and a 128mb ATI graphics card and a 250gb HD.
In things like spaces, running multiple tabs & windows (in safari) or having magnification on the dock - it runs a rough. Whereas Safari and the dock ran fine in 10.4.
When magnification is on for the dock, I get tearing and a slow frame rate as the zooming effect appears rough and jolty.
In Spaces, the frame rate is low as well; making the zoom out into spaces mode appear jolty again.
Also, mostly in Safari; when I change to it; it takes considerable time to make it that dark grey colour to indicate it is an active window.
What I would like to know is OS 10.5 coded relatively poorly for PowerPC than Intel? Is my RAM not enough? Do I need a better Graphics card? or a combination of all the above?
How should I, or should I, upgrade my hardware?
Thankyou,
Nate.

In general that's true, and it's also true that throwing hardware at the problem might make it go away. For example, with the problem I had, I could have bought a whole new computer, and with the increase in processing power the amount of system resources that were being taken up by Apple's faulty usb drivers might have remained the same proportionately, but I would have noticed less because overall processing power would have increased so significantly.
My suggestion is to do some analysis and address the root cause of the issue rather than the symptoms first, rather than spending money on band-aids. Also, Leopard, at least with the 9800 graphics cards is definitely flawed. Some of the screen tearing he mentioned could be a symptom of the graphics card overheating due to the OS not controlling fan speed properly.

Problem with scrolling not being smooth

I recently had an updated version of Firefox installed on my computer (PC).But there is one feature of this new version that is actually worse than the old one.
When I scroll down to read multiple messages on message boards it doesn’t react the same as it did before the “upgrade”. It is not as “smooth” now as it was before when I scroll down through messages. This might seem like a small problem but it is a waste of time and hard on the eyes.
Each time I roll the wheel on my mouse one notch to move the messages up on my screen they move differently than they did before.
Now what happens is the increments that the screen moves in are much more discernible than before. Before the update, it was much more seamless and you couldn’t even notice any changes at all – it was more smooth – now it is very “jumpy”, to the point where you can’t read the messages as they scroll across the screen, which is the point. They move now in such noticeable or discernible increments that I can’t read them as they move – I have to wait until the screen stops.
I used to be able to read as I scrolled. This might not seem like a big problem but it is huge! It is way better to be able to read as you scroll – saves time and is way easier on your eyes.
Scrolling through newspaper articles or other internet articles doesn’t seem to be a problem because each mouse wheel click moves the screen in bigger “chunks”. It is the little movements that happen with message board reading that make it impossible to read and very hard on the eyes.
How do I fix this? Or can you fix this? Do I have to go back to the previous version of Firefox?
Please help. I hate this problem!

Firefox 13.0.1 'autoscroll'
You described the problem very well, and my problem is the same or maybe worse.
When I roll the wheel one notch the vertical scrolling takes off with a mind of its own.
The scrolling speed accelerates and decelerates in speed from start to stop.
per the '- - tools-options-help' redirection to 'ff help-browsing':
Browsing
Use autoscrolling: Autoscrolling is a useful feature which allows you to scroll the page by clicking the middle mouse button (usually the scroll wheel) and moving the mouse up or down. Some people find this annoying, so autoscrolling can be disabled with this option.
So I'm assuming this is the 'autoscroll' feature and is the way it was designed.
One click will start a short vertical scroll job of maybe 2 or so inches.
I don't like it because it is too erratic with too many clicks.
During the scrolling there is a horizontal slice of the page with noticeable distortion.
And if there is too much page-loading activity, the scroll is more erratic and is very obnoxious.
If it scrolls too fast I may click on the page and accidentally hit a link into a 'flash ad'.
Unchecking the 'autoscrolling' doesn't disable this undesired feature.
How do I get back to the 'one-line' per click scroll? What am I missing?

Podcasts not scrolling smoothly

My podcasts subscription list does not scroll smoothly and hasn't for a long time. It will move a little, maybe half an inch, and then jump five inches when I'm trying to scroll. It's like it's always moving a little slower and then catching up. I'm constantly ending up in the wrong subscription. The list of actual podcasts moves fine - it's just the initial screen when you touch podcasts from the bottom menu that I have this problem with.
I just upgraded to 3.1.3 and it didn't help. This issue existed for me before the previous version (two versions before 3.1.3) as well. Anything thing I can do?

luvlabs;
My own experience of this is that (for several months) scrolling through the normal Podcast list was fine but if I was in the *On-The-Go Playlist* and trying to scroll through the same Podcast list (that is, adding Podcasts to an On-The-Go), it has been very jerky. However, in the last week or so, since 9.0.3 I guess, even the normal Podcast list has been jerky.
Time for a bit of feedback I think at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
Anybody know of a way round this?

Hi @dnhowes ,
I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
