The need for a screen protector?

Hi everyone, I just purchased my first ever iPhone, 3gs 16gb the other day and was wondering on the need or importance for having a screen protector. I have a case on my iphone already, but am a bit worried about the screen, but I know that its glass and coated aswell. I bought a zagg invisible sheild and it was rubbish so I removed it straight away. Any ideas/solutions?

Note that the iPhone 3GS has an oleophobic coating on the screen, and using a screen protector will mean you don't get the benefit. I would say, unless you carry the phone in a pocket with sharp objects then you don't need one. A case is a good idea, because the back of the phone is easily scratched. Going for a pouch would be an even better idea, as you can use it to protect both sides of your phone when in your pocket/bag but take it out when at the office or home, and make the most of the screen (I find the phone feels better to use when not in a case also)

  • I have an ipod touch 4g. I want to use our internet hdtv as a monitor so others can see my screen in 40". Sony guy said that can do it wirelessly through the internet router instead of Hdmi without the need for an apple tv.Is this true and how do I do it?

    As I said above, I want to view my iPod screen on our new 40" Sony Internet full HD TV.
    I know that you can do this via HDMI but a Sony guy said that you should be able to do this wirelessly by going through the router. Is this true and can I do this without the need for the Apple TV?
    We are soon going to get the airport extreme, so will it work with that?

    1. Is it a smart TV?
    2. If so.... Is the TV connected to the Internet?
    3. If it is.... Check if your iPod and your TV share the same IP address (Wi-Fi network)
    4. If they do.... Then you should go to wherever your "Other Media" tab is.
    5. After that.... Search for you iPod. Because it is connected to the same network, it should recognize the device they same way AirPrint does.
    6. If you happen to see this fail, then try this method:
    1. Do you have a Bluetooth-enabled computer/laptop?
    2. If so.... Enable the bluetooth on the computer/laptop as well as your iPod.
    3. After that.... Your iPod should be actively searching and it should find the computer/laptop.
    4. If it did.... Transfer the file onto Windows/Mac (preferably Mac) and find the program to open the file.
    5. After doing so.... Connect your computer/laptop to the TV via HDMI Output Cable.
    6. Now it should work!

    Better provisioning in Windows client: Remember templates for the Start Screen - like the need for categorization (taxonomy) in the Start Menu ...
    Like my previous suggestion about categories alike Linux to clean up the mess in the start menu:
    Please help new users to use the Start Screen in valuable way - demonstrate the value.
    You don't sell SharePoint with a completely unorded randomized site hierarchy - and without any templates.
    Not content - but abstract content like templates are everything when you need to learn to use ... i.e. a new product like the Start Screen. It gets you started right away. A like Word as well.
    Please bring order and form to the content. I.e. T E M P L A T E S parsing the layout of the tiles.
    Have context switching for virtualization working with the virtual desktop mode. So I only see those tiles that are in context with my actual workflow.
    Of course you would need a well-made taxonomy for apps - i.e. subclassed.

  • Do i need iPhone 4s screen protector

    do i need iPhone 4s screen protector ?

    You do not need to run iPhoto, when you have Aperture, but if you want to open older iPhoto libraries in Aperture, they will have to be upgraded by iPhoto to the latest version, so that Aperture can open them.
    I'd keep iPhoto installed for several reasons - it is really useful as a second browser for your Photo Libraries, see my User Tip here:                   Keep iPhoto - It May Come in Handy!

    the adhesives used for protectors rarely leave a film or residue, unless they are low quality. I reccommend the amFilm brand screen protectors over all others because it doesnt have a sticky adhesive. Heres more info

  • What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector?

    What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector? Anyone have any recommendations?

    I've used no less than 10 different types of iPhone screen protectors. Most are either difficult to put on (Zagg, invisible shield, etc.) or just plain suck (too thick, bubbles, folds, etc.). The HD are the best covers out there. They are very easy to apply bubble free. They also stay on once applied. Others that go on easy often fold up when a case is applied. This one does not. I use a Speck case which curled the other easy apply protectors but did not curl this one. Great product!

    Many thanks for any advice.

    You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

    I understand that your network now looks like this:

    If you do not want to use the Cisco/Linksys router and use a Time Capsule instead, then your network would look like this:

  • The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

    I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
    For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
    For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
    Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

  • The need for Speed - my setup

    I have been using Lightroom since version 1 and have recently upgraded to version 3. As many have reported, version 3 needs more CPU speed for rendering so I have modified my workflow to get maximum speed.
    Until recently I had a Dell M65 Notebook with a 2.16 GHz Core2 dual CPU and 3 GByte RAM. I was using Windows 7 x64. All my RAW files are on an external HD, connected with USB 2.0 to the notebook.
    Upgrading to Lightroom 3 made everything too slow, as the CPU would stay at 100% for long times, like 10 seconds during edits.
    Therefore, I upgraded to a Dell M4500 with a Core i7 CPU Q840 @ 1,87 GHz and 8GByte RAM. This CPU has 4 phyical cores, each supporting hyperthreading for a total of 8 logical cores. I am using Windows 7 x64.
    On the new notebook, I have never had L2 installed.
    The L3 Library is located on the internal Hard drive, together with all the previews. The RAW files are still on the external 2.5" USB 2.0 drive.
    I upgraded by importing first the L3beta catalog and then L2 catalogs. I found a bug, which would crash L3 if the same photo was already in my L3 catalog as well as in a L2 catalog to be imported. I solved that problem by importing the L2 catalog first separately and then exporting parts of it to new L3 catalogs and then importing these parts to the main L3 catalog.
    During import, I had the external drive holding all the photos attached to the notebook.
    At this point, I had only the catalog in place, but no previews. I set the preview size in L3 to 2048pixels. It is important to set this value higher than the screen resolution. Otherwise, L3 will have to process the RAW files most of the time, making things very slow.
    I once tried looking at the imported photos during import. That was not  a good idea as L3 went very slow and started swapping on the hard  drive. I had to stop import and restart L3 to regain speed. I assume  that L3 has some memory leak issues.
    Now I opened one path on my external drive I wanted to work on. I noticed that when I opened a photo in the Library page, I would see the "Loading". After about 2-3 seconds for old (2003) photos and about 3 seconds for new (2010) photos, it would go away. This would of course not allow me to browse through at high speed. Therefore I selected all photos in one folder with new photos and asked L3 to make all the standard previews. L3 would start making them at a speed of about one every 1-2 seconds. Those photos were without any fancy stuff like adjustment brush. One thing I noticed was that the CPU load was between 25 and 50%, so L3 is not using all the available cores for this operation. Optimizing this process for many cores would give me a speed advantage of 2-3.
    I have about 50k pictures in my library. Almost all of them RAW files.
    The result is that I can now browse through the photos with a very low delay. If I select the next photo, I will see a low res version of it almost instintaniouosly, and the high res version after about half a second. If I go crazy and use the scroll wheel extensively and very fast, after some 5-10 or so photos, scrolling stops. At that point, I have to wait for the film strip at the bottom of the screen to update. Then I can continue. If I do not show the film strip, I can scroll a bit further, but there are still intermittent stops, where I have to wait for L3 to catch up. Still, even at the point where scrolling stops, I still get the hi res picture after about a second. It seems that the speed of the internal Hard drive is the limit here. If I need to scroll faster, I select the grid of pictures. There I can go even faster.
    Zooming in to 1:1 forces the full resolution previews to be made. That takes about 3 seconds on my notebook. If I revisit the same photo later, I can zoom in and get the full res photo in about half a second.
    I then tried to import some data from the CF cards. The import went smooth (although rather slow, but that was the same in L3b2) and I tried to look at the pictures during import. That was not a good idea, as L3 started using RAM excessively, the hard drive was working continously and everyting went very slow. I stopped the import and restarted L3. Apparently, there is a memory leak somewhere so I decided to adopt the following workflow:
    Import the files for the Memory Card (I have a USB card reader)
    Close L3 and restart (I skip the backup if asked by L3)
    Select all newly imported pictures and generate the standard previews.
    Close L3 and restart (I skip the backup if asked by L3)
    Now I select what pictures I want to work on by by giving them the 1-5 stars.
    Then I filter the 5 star pictures and move over to the Edit module
    If I see the internal Hard drive working a lot during edits, I close L3 and restart.
    Browsing in the Edit module is much slower than in the Library module.
    Also, during edit, speed of operation is dependent on the resolution I look at. If I look at the photo zoomed out, I get to see the next picture after about 1/3 of a second, and have a waiting time of about 3 seconds the first time I open a picture until the "Loading" goes away. I can only assume that at this point, the 1:1 previews are made. If I go back to a previously edited photo, the time delay is about 1 second. If I close L3 and reopen, it takes 3 seconds again. During that time, all 8 cores are working, but only up to about 50%, so there is still room for improvment here.
    Browsing zoomed in takes initially about 1 seconds extra. Returning to a photo zoomed in does not seem to cause any extra delay, though.
    I always wait until "Loading" goes away before I try editing anything.  If I start immeditaly changing something, L3 becomes slow. Sometimes it  stays that way, and I have to restart to regain speed.
    The Memory for Camera Raw is set at 1 GB, the default. I have not found any speed advantage setting it higher.
    I use the adjustment brush a lot as well as red eye removal and gradients and I see no practical difference in rendering time when used. If I paint on the photo zoomed out, I see the result of the adjustement brush instintaniously during painting. Changes to the exposure etc. is also rendered with no visible delay.
    Editing zoomed in to 1:1 is another story. If I use the adjustement brush, I have to wait about 3 seconds for anything tho happen after I made the first stroke. After that, the delay is reduced to about half a second. L3 does record the movement of the mouse correctly, but the update is much slower than if zoomed out. Changing the exposure dial is also rendered with about half a second delay. Therefore I try to do as many edits zoomed out as possible.
    Looking at the memory consumption after a couple of hours of work, it seems that L3 needs several GBytes of RAM to be happy. When I close L3, about 3 GBytes are freed.
    Hope this can be of some help. Questions and Comments are wellcome.
    Best regards,
    Bengt

    Setting Lightroom's preview size to larger than screen resolution is guaranteed to slow things down. I have a dual monitor system whith Lightroom showing the loupe on one screen and the grid on the other. The screen sizes are 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. Following your practice for previews would bring my system to a crawl and I have an entry level workstation.All my previews are of standard 1024x768 in size. The only delays in viewing come when Lightroom is asked to display an image where there is no preview. Once the preview has been created, browsing is near instantaneous.
    I beg to differ! The reason is that a preview can be used for any size, which is smaller than that of the preview. Scaling down a preview can be done with little or not loss in quality compared to getting the full resulution and scale that down. Scaling up is not possible.
    In your case, you will not use the previews of 1024x768 at all for full screen display. Instead you will force L3 to create bigger previews the first time you open the photo. You could try this by generating the standard previews for new imported photos before you start browsing. Then try to browse. You will probably get the "Loading" message, which indicates that the preview was not used and another one with higher resolution will be made. Then try the same experiment, setting the size of the standard preview to 2048. If, and only if, the size of your display area is not more than 2048 pixels wide and you display a photo in lanscape orientation, you will be able to browse without delay after generating the standard previews.
    If I understand your setup correctly, you display the photos in a window of 2560x1440 pixels. I suspect that only 1:1 previews could be used for that. I think Adobe should increase the maximum size of the previews to a value larger than 2048, so that you are not forced to use only the 1:1 previews.
    I agree, that when the previews have been generated, browsing is near instantaneous.
