Screen protectors interfering with tapping commands?

I have trouble using one of my apps as often, no matter how hard or soft or fast or slow I tap the operating buttons, they don't respond.  other times they work perfectly.  Could this be due to me having one of those cheap plastic film screen protectors?  deborah158

Have you tried this particular app without the screen protector? How do other apps interact with your screen protector on?
If it's just within one app, then I would say it's a poorly written app. If it works when the screen protector is removed, then there's your answer.

  • HT203671 What if I use a screen protector together with the keyboard top case?

    Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?
    According to some saying, the screen could be damaged by any accessory between the keyboard and screen because there is a coating on the screen. Then anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating the leave a scratch on the screen. So if I put a protector onto the screen, does it protect the coating from being hurt? Or does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?

    So I'm sure you're aware of this:
    My Retina Display has stain damage, HELP!!!
    So if you're aware of that then you know there is a total controversy about this problem.
    "Does a screen protector keep the screen from being damaged by a keyboard top case?"
    Some people there swear by them and some people say "anything between the keyboard and screen would hurt the coating"
    So I would say "absolutely maybe!"
    Sorry to be like that but we have so little information about this problem.
    "does the back-adhesive protector itself hurt the coating (because it is adhesive)?"
    I would say to avoid anything that has an adhesive on it. Some people have said that they cover their keyboard with a microfiber cloth but again I would say "this is purely anecdotal hearsay not based on science or actual testing."
    I feel this problem is caused by outgassing of the keys or plastic in the computer.
    If we knew more about the nature of the coating then maybe we'd have a course of action. I'd research the coating and see if there was a way to protect it.
    Good luck!

  • Screen video capture with VLC command lines

    Hi,
    I need to do a program in LabVIEW that saves a video of my screen. I want it to open VLC by sending a command line and then start/stop the acquisition when I press a button. How could I do that? I didn't find the command lines to tell VLC to start the screen video acquisition... Can anyone help me and tell me what should I write in the command lines? Thanks for help!!

    Look up the help on the command line program then use the system exec to run that.  I'd start by figuring out what you need to do with an empty command prompt to play with.
    Also I've seen others do this same thing using ActiveX which VLC installs.

  • Dust under screen protector

    Hi I have a screen protector on with dust on it but no bubbles how do i get these dust particles out

    Take off the screen proterctor and try again. Just be very carful and do the placement in a clean, dust free place.

  • 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.

  • Urgent!! - - Terminal command may be interfering with my G Raids.

    After I had entered a command into the Terminal and restarted the computer, my 2 external drives (G Raid mini and G Raid) do not show up nor can I use them at all on my laptop.
    The command I had entered was sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions. It is for my Shuttle Pro editing mouse.
    Is there a way to undo this command. I think it might be interfering with their operation.
    Thanks.

    I have performed the disk repair in Disk Utility and it stated that it repaired any permissions that might have been in need of repair.
    But did you Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Stylus hard to use with screen protector on iPad mini

    I have put a screen protector on my iPad mini and now I have to press the stylus really hard.

    I use a US$4.00 stylus on my screen protected iPad with no problem.
    I think the tip of your stylus is too soft.
    Try tapping instead of pressing.

  • I have the same case with you an iPad Air in dead pixel or speckle silver dust on screen.  It is been 3 months I bought in Avant Abenson in Greenbelt Makati Philippines. Today I decided to change my screen protector film but the speckle dust on the screen

    Speckles dust on the screen and it cannot be removed today when I decided to change the screen protector film and noticed is not my fault it is a factory defect on screen it is either dead pixel or speckle dust on screen they are so many said and experience I have read.  So I need the replacement a new one for that dismayed screen on my iPad Air. I bought this 3 months ago in Avant Abenson at Greenbelt Makati Philippines.  I need the replacement for tomorrow I will go to the store I bought.  I love apple products but they need to replace and make go round to improve some defects and cannot be more escalate with this issue of the many of patronizing your products.  It is sometimes irritating to the eyes and seen dirt on the screen.  Thank you apple customer service to bringing up my complaints and a replacement for tomorrow's to inform the store I bought and advise them here in the Philippines to facilitate in regards to this matter. 

    I wanted to buy an ipad air to replace my ipad 2 but the one I wanted was (luckily) sold out.
    Yesterday I tested the air from a collegue and I noticed the screen was SUBSTANTIALLY less sensitive than the screen of my ipad 2 when using my stylus.
    I use Stylus R US especially for I annotate and with the air this did not work well at all... Half of the time there was no contact registered so underying certain parts of the text was a disaster...
    Just working with the finger all whent OK... Just fear that another app I use a lot (notes +) will have same problem.
    On the Ipad 4 also retina all goes *** smooth as on my ipad 2...
    Is this a fault of a specific ipad air series? Or is this normal?? If it is I think this is truelly a huge flaw and I cannot see how not manny people using the ipad for notetaking etc did not notice this...

  • Should I use a Screen Protector with Otterbox Defender or Griffin Survivor?

    I bought both of these rugged cases and keep hearing that the actual cases can scratch the phones.  Should I use a screen protector on the phone face and back as well?  I assume that may not fit in the cases if I do that.  Anyone have any experience with these cases?

    Do you have the shield on the front and back?  I read they do not fit in the Otterbox with both.  I would bet one side may fit.  I think if you use a thin one like the Verizon site has (PureGear Display Protectors) on the front I bet it will fit.  I have the Survivor case and have not head a chance to try the shield with it.  I got the phone, and first threw it in that case.  I know what to get a shield on it if possible.  Please let me know if it fits.

  • Screen protector on an iPad with retina display?

    What are your thoughts on using a screen protector on an iPad with retina display? Does this defeat the purpose of having a high quality display, or does the protection it affords despite the less sharp screen?

    I like having the protection on my iPad. I use the Otterbox Defender Case that enclosed the device completely in a black hard shell cover and it has a built in screen protector. I remove the iPad from the case every other week in order to clean the iPad and the case and I use it for a few hours without the case so I can enjoy the beautiful retina display. But I do want the protection when all is said and done.
    If you are a big photo editing person, or you watch a lot of movies and videos, the screen protector may spoil the experience for you. You have to make that assessment on your own.
    Even with this particular built in screen protector, I can still see a big difference in the screen resolution compared to my iPad original that has a ZAGG Invisibke Shield on it.

  • IPhone 4 Case WITH Screen Protector

    what case do you guys recommend to use WITH a screen protector?
    I read that a lot of the cases will cause the screen protector to peel up on the edges thus causing bubbles
    thanks

    I personally wanted a case that is as slim as possible. My preference was not to ruin such a cool, contemporary design with a bloated case that looks like the Michelin man is hugging your iPhone. So, I chose this one (screen protection kit is included): http://bit.ly/dzJx89

  • Ipad Screen protector with impact protection?

    I need to get a Protection for my ipad and iphone5 from my kids, and I came a cross Rhino Shield on marshable.
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1081571316/rhino-shield-the-impact-resistant -screen-protector
    looks very good indeed, and this is what i want. The question is has anyone has any experience with this Screen protector before?

    Just keep the screen clean by blowing or brushing off dust and debris before and after use and when stored and you should be fine. The Apple case is a nice case but it does not keep debris and dust away from the glass since it simply sits on top of the screen with no seal. In addition to the Apple case get one of those very inexpensive foam zipper bags which will not only keep dust and debris away but will protect it from drops and bumps while traveling and storing.
    Do not use microfiber cloths. A fluffy 100%cotton piece of towel is what you should use to gently wet clean and dry it with. Do not reuse your cleaning cloths. Wash before using them again. I keep a small ziploc bag with a few cut pieces of towel inside in my iPad zipper case.
    I used to be seriously into photography and had many expensive lenses with much more delicate glass than the iPad's and these are the things I did and never once did i scratch a lens. The iPad has such a gorgeous screen that is a shame when it is covered. I have had mine since they came out and my glass looks brand new. The cause of scratches is not through typical use but because a harder than glass piece of debris gets in between the glass and whatever else is pressing against that debris, usually not your finger. Just keep it clean before and after use and keep it in a sealed case in addition to your Apple case and the chances of scratching the screen will be almost zero.
    The ipads on display in stores are very rarely scratched even after thousands of people touching and using them every day. That shows how tough the display actually is.

  • Need a silicone case with screen protector for Zen Mi

    Anyone seen a silicone case like the ones on ebay for the zen micro, but one that has a screen protector like the iSkins do? I need a case, the vaja are way too expensi've and I don't want anything bulky like the leather cases I've seen.

    One more option: I have read and seen all of the case posts and had decided on the pdaen leather belt pouch, because it has a flip over snapable face protection with total accessability otherwise. Then I was working outside one day and it was raining slightly so I started using small plastic bags--ziplock and another which is like the bag at the grocery store that you put your produce in. I make a tiny incision for the jack and either tie or zip the open end. This works so well that I am no longer looking for a bag of any kind. It keeps out the dirt and more importantly, moisture, and it gives me exactly the same access as I had before I wrapped it-- touchpad and all. Not at all stylish, I know, just practical and functional.

  • What is the 2nd sensor on the front, right next to the ear speaker for, and can I cover it up with a screen protector?

    I received a package of screen protectors from Tech Armor today that were advertised to work for the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C.  They don't have a cutout for the second sensor on the front face that is to the left of the ear speaker.
    What is that sensor for?  And can I cover it up with a screen guard without reducing the functionality/effectiveness of the hardware?
    Thanks,
    Pete.

    That's the proximity sensor, senses when you have the phone close to your face, turns off the screen to save battery and prevent accidental input from face touching the screen.
    It's ok to be covered by by a transparent screen protector. I have used screen protectors that cover up that sensor, no problem.
