Just in case:
"Cleaning your MacBook Pro When cleaning the outside of your MacBook Pro and its components, first shut down your MacBook Pro and unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.

  • Where can I find a lint free cloth to clean my MacBook screen?

    Hello I have a MacBook and I know it is suppose to come with a lint free cloth to clean the screen, but when I brought my laptop there was not one in the box. I called Applecare and they said I can by a lint free cloth, I was just wondering what stores would carry them?
    Thanks, Carrie

    I use eyeglasses cleaning cloths like the above poster said before. On my iPhone too.
    It's the way you clean your screen that matters too. You can use the best cloth but you need to clean it carefully, without pressing the screen. Some people press and touch the screen a lot when cleaning...

    The hand/wrist area protection pad looks great, protects your investment, and "feels" good while in use, too.

  • Cleaning Your iMac Screen

    I have tried things that immediately came to mind, and nothing quite worked like this... So simple!
    1. Take a fluffly washcloth (not a scratchy, worn out one), wet it with warm tap water, and ring it out.
    2. Have handy a fluffly white cotton T-shirt (again, not an old, scratchy, worn out one), neatly folded with no seams or stitching on the wiping surface.
    3. Wipe the screen with the damp washcloth in circular buffing motion.
    4. Immediately dry off the screen with the smooth side of the folded cotton T-shirt.
    Note: You will need to position your hand behind the screen in order to steady the monitor as you buff the front firmly.
    Makes my screen look like brand new everytime!

  • What is the reccomended way to clean the macbook screen?

    i dont want to put water on my screen or windex, how ever cleaning it with a dry tissue doesnt get the fingerprints offf.. what should i use.. thanks :)- kel
    Macbook 13 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I use lint free micro fiber fabric from kensington and I a damped with water but keep it near dry and wipe it in circular motion.
    But for hard to get rid smudge or finger print, I sprayed windex to that damp fabric lightly and wipe it until it is gone.
    But if you don't trust windex maybe you could try this

    Since it is endorsed by apple on iPod product, and it says save for lcd on its site.
    Good Luck.

  • What do you use to clean your iMac screen?

    I bought a bottle of 'screen cleaner'(for computers and cameras.) I spread it on the screen (it looks like hair mousse) and wiped it with soft cloth.... It left marks! I tried it many times but couldn't make it spotless ...
    Should I use window cleaner instead ... since the outer screen is made of glass?

  • What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro screen?

    Everytime I have had my Mac in at Vertical IT in St Kilda they clean my screen and my machine which is a brilliant service but I always forget to ask them what they use to do it? I have heard windex may do the trick but doesn't it have chemicals in it that could damage the screen? Thanks!

  • Cleaning of MacBook

    What is the best way to clean your Macbook? My keys have gotten dirty, as well as my screen, but I don't want to use any products that could be harmful for the system.
    Thank you.

    I use iKlear. It comes with 2 microfiber clothes, and does not hurt your screen. You can use it on glossy or matte displays, and will also clean the keyboard and mouse. Another option, is to use a magic eraser on the keyboard.

  • Cleaning my Macbook

    Hey guys,
    what is the best way to clean my macbook screen and touchpad?
    thanks!

    Apple recommends water only - and a soft (microfiber) cloth. That's what I use. Works well.
    Good luck!
    EDIT: You might search the forum for this topic. There are a ton of posts on it.

  • Using Sears Optical Lens Cleaner to clean my MacBook's screen

    Is it alright to be using Sears Optical Lens Cleaner to clean my MacBook's screen? I spray it on a micro-fiber cloth first, of course.

    Hi jsnlvy, welcome to macbook forum.
    well,.. apple recommend to use slightly water damped micro fiber soft cloth to clean the screen.
    I sometimes sprayed lightly water based glass cleaner to that dampen fabric to get rid of stubborn smudge, and after that I use dry cotton ball in circular stroke motion to get rid the streak mark.
    I am afraid that the Optical lens solvent is to strong for your screen and might damage your screen. But if you want to try it, dampen the cloth with water first as I did and applied at a small area and check it is safe.
    Good Luck.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks MacBook hangs at "Setting Up Your Mac" screen

    After upgrade install of Mavericks, and logging in successfully one time my MacBook (aluminum unibody late 2008) now hangs at the "Setting Up Your Mac" screen after logging in with password. I can restart the unit with the power button but same thing happens. I powered off the unit, removed the battery and held the power button down for 30 seconds, re-installed the battery and restarted the unit but same thing happens.

    Hold the Power button to turn off your computer and turn it on again. Then, see if Mavericks can start up.
    If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall Mac OS X

    I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.
