Tea splashed on screen, left stain - how to clean

In the middle of an urgent call from a client, I splashed some tea (cream & sugar) on part of the screen - a few drops fell on a key or two (no I am not minimizing) the tea left a stain on part of the screen - it looks as if it is behind the screen but that could be an issue of transparency and illumination. I am in big trouble as I share this with my sister in law - and frankly I am very distressed. As I said it was a splash not a spill - that is there was not extra liquid dripping. I did not notice it immediately as I was going back and forth between the lap top and other places, picking up papers from the printer, etc, and it was dried - I wiped off some of it effectively but the rest - the surface feels completely clean.
HELP!

The display is some sort of coated plastic, and unfortunately not impervious to stains. I don't know if there are any cleaners that could do anything for you, but it wouldn't hurt to make an appointment at the Apple Store and see if a genius would know of something else to try. You need to be careful not to cause further damage trying to remove the stain. I don't know if there is any type of plastic cleaner that would work, but would check with Apple first.
Sometimes stuff does get under the display during the manufacturing process, but that's not the case here.
Good luck!

    You can't without replacing the screen, which is expensive. How did it get the deep scratch? You probably should have put a screen protector on it.

  • The list of open web pages just flipped from right to left. How do I get it back on the right? Thankyou.

    The list of open web pages, which normally sits bottom right on my screen, flipped to the left. How can I move it back to the right?
    I clicked Alt + tab and saw 'Deplacer' (Reposition - I'm in France). Then the cursor became a thing like a crossroads and I clicked where I wanted to put the list of open pages but nothing happened.

    You may have placed the bookmarks icon on the Navigation Toolbar to open the bookmarks in the sidebar instead of the bookmarks menu button that opens a drop down list.<br />
    There are two icons available for opening or accessing the bookmarks that both have a star.<br />
    The icon with the drop marker opens the drop down list with the bookmarks (Bookmarks Menu button).<br />
    The other, without the star, opens the bookmarks in the sidebar, just like the Ctrl+B shortcut or View > Sidebar > Bookmarks

  • How to Clean Ink Stains on HP 3050 All-in-One J610 series

    Hello - 
    I have an HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610 series printer.  I am a Mac User and am getting notifications with each document I print that I need to "Clean Ink Stains on Printer".  I have put brand new black and tricolor HP ink cartridges, but I am still getting some faded streaks in the documents I print.  I think the "ink stains" are specifically on the printer and not related to the ink cartridges, since I have put new ones in and the situation has not been resolved.  
    Do you have a video or step by step instructions on how to clean these ink stains on the printer so I no longer have faded sections when I print?  My ink cartidges are full and new.  I have had this printer for 3.5 years and have never seen this notification, nor have I ever cleaned the inside of the printer.  
    Thank you for your help.

  • Text, going from off screen right to off screen left

    using the basic type text button I want to type in a word and make it come from off screen right across the screen and off left.
    I can see every perameter in there apart from that one. I can change fonts, colurs, tranparency, but I want to use the key frmaes to go to off screen right move across the screen dead hgorizontal and finsih off screen left.
    Now I have done this by moving mouse to canvas and dragging it there.
    The problem is with htat is I may not be at the exact same horizontal value on the left sice ( finish ) as I was from the start ( begin ) so it might travel up hill slighly.
    Why is there not a right to left slider that I can use that makse sure that I dont mess with other values,
    So how can I do this very simple move easier please?
    regards
    Daz

    First, you're going to get better quality using the boris text 3d rather than the plain text option.
    But working the way you are, you can simply double click on your clip in the timeline, open the motion tab in the viewer and adjust the numeric value for the vertical position to match for each keyframe beginning to end. For best quality, use a whole number for the vertical position. I suspect that a little work with the manuals will help you here.
    Using boris text 3d and the controls tab (rather than the text generator you've been using), will give you better quality as each frame of text is generated for optimum quality (technically, the boris text is vector generated rather than bitmapped).

  • Opening a new tab opens my history on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    when opening a new tab in safari, it automatically opens my history in a column on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    IF you change the view of the left column to "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" this is what will be shown rather than "History".
    There is no way to prevent this column from being shown but it can be dismissed by touching the "Book" icon at the top-left of the screen.

  • HT1766 my iphone screen is blank how do i fix it

    my iphone screen is blank how do i go about restoring it to factory setting .

    Before you do a factory default reset, try just resetting the phone.  Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down until the Apple logo appears on the screen and wait for phone to restart itself.
    If this doesn't help, you will need to turn on iTunes on your computer.  Connect your phone using the sync cable.  Select the phone in iTunes on the left hand navigation panel.  On the phone's summary page in iTunes click the Restore button and wait for the phone to restore itself.  If iTunes asks if you want to restore from a backup say no.  Or you will be right back to where you were.
    You will have to re-load all your apps and music.  If you have any pictures that you want to save, see if you can connect the phone to your computer without iTunes running.  Then in your computer browser (Not sure if you are on Windows or Mac) see if you can find your phone.  If so, open it up like a drive, open the folder that contains your pictures and drag them to a folder on your computer.
    By not restoring from a backup you lose everything and really do get back to factory settings.  Which means starting from scratch.

    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

    MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
    The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
    Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
    unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
    slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
    Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
    So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
    (end of vandelay's addition)
    as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
    this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
    if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
    there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
    the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
    the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
    here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
    as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
    this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
    from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
    many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
    this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
    infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three ,  phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue 
    i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s ,  which across all three handsets had the following faults
    #hdmi covers scratched and worn
    #no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
    #torx screws on battery cover very worn
    #plastic top caps not fitted right
    #one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
    #they all still had purple tint issue
    so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues 
    i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
    thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue  so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
    through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

    there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
    i just hope nokia sort this out soon
    ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
    id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
    heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

    sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha  great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
    it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
    jimmyireland about your post mate
    yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
    the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
    i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
    to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
    so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
    hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
    as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
    as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
    iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
    i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull
    http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/members/buxz777.html
    as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
    i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
    however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
    i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
    things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
    like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
    cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
    now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
    have a great evening

    When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
