Uh oh, I have a scratch! Gah!

Ok so i one day i was like, i feel like polishing my brand new, beautiful ipad to make it shiny, so i looked at the screen, it was absolutely flawless, then i polished it with the microfiber cloth that came with my macbook which ive had for a while. After i polished the screen, i realised that it had a scratch, so what i think is maybe there was a piece of dust or some sort of garbage on my microfiber cloth that scratched my ipad screen. Now, its about an inch long, if i feel it with my finger, i cant feel it at all, if i use my fingernail, i can sort of feel it, but only with my fingernail, its definately a thicker scratch than the ones you get from cleaning glasses with paper towel, its not a surface scratch, its from a piece of something on the cloth that was pushed into the screen as i moved it around, anyway, is there any way i can buff it out or anything? If i put ghost armor or zagg or something on it, would it basically make the scratch invisible? Any advice would be amazing, but i just cant deal with this scratch, it hauntes me in my sleep haha!

I'm sure it's already occurred to you that had you had a ZAGG or equivalent skin on then you wouldn't now have a scratch. Go ahead and put one on and I think you'll find the scratch much less noticeable.
You should attempt no repairs on your own, and any attempt to buff out the scratch is going to harm the coating. There are firms advertising iPad screen repairs online but I know almost nothing about them.

I have a scratch inside my screen...what are my options to fix it?

I don't nescessarily take extra good care of my computer but recently I didn't throw my computer or anything..but i have a scratch on my screen like inside, digitally, but theres no visible scratchh on the actual screen...not sure how it hpapened. But I just got my computer 5 months ago, so I still have the insurance from apple not sure if it covers it, but can i go in and they'll help me with this? or other options for fixing it? also some windows i open start shaking... please help

Since you're still under warranty, it wouldn't hurt to make an appointment at your local Apple Store or an AASP and have the techs take a look at it. If there's no 'physical' scratch then there may be a problem with your screen that can be fixed under warranty.
And open windows should not 'shake' - another thing that the techs to evaluate.
Best of luck,
Clinton

Does new Video iPod have Nano scratch problems?

Just wondering if the new iPod has the same scratch issues as the Nano?

I have a black 5th gen and so far I have maybe 2 tiny scratches on the back that are only visible in direct light. I have no scratches on the front but then again I havent taken the plastic off (untill my invis. shield comes). Id just suggest getting the iPod then getting a case asap and keep the plastic on untill then. mines starting to look bad tho because the plastic is peeling off at the bottom

My new iPad have some scratches on the screen and a little crack, will I be able to get a replacement?

My iPad overheated and it was so hot that i loosen it out of my hand and dropped to the floor, causes few scratches n a minor crack
will I get a replacement for that?

Without AppleCare+, no, not even a free repair. You dropped it, so it's on your dime now. You wouldn't expect free repairs to your car after crashing it into a pole, would you?
Also, note that Apple may not be enthusiastic about repairing it, because a dropped iPad may have other issues beyond a broken screen. Other internal components may have been damaged. Buying a replacement may be the best way of getting back a reliably-functioning iPad. But you could also go with a cheaper repair from a third-party company that will just replace the screen and let you worry about whether or not that repair is sufficient. That kind of repair voids the warranty, but it's already void thanks to the damage anyway.

Is there a way to still have a scratch disc and use boot camp ? it seems to kill my windows install after.

Macbook Pro
running 10.8.1 with bootcamp for a win 7 install
was working fine
had to delete the scratch drive to let me partition it correctly so I could install windows
I installed windows everythings working great
user recreates scratch drive now I cant see the windows install when i boot
it is there just unable to boot to it.

Photoshop only has one Color Palette. If you could script something like a Color Palette with two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog. You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed. Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

Does Apple replaces iPad That have been scratch by the smart cover ?

Hi everyone !
Yesterday I found that I have a big scratch on the left side of my iPad third gen... This scratch have been made by my smart cover ... I called apple and they said that it's not suppose to happen ! I also read on Internet that when your iPad has this problem apple replaces yours for free ... Is that true ... Sorry for my bad English ;)

It would be difficult to prove that the scratch was caused by the Smart Cover and not by some accident that you had.
is that so?

to be fair, apple gave me a new ipad and a new smart cover, but im pretty sure this will happen again.

Does anyone have a scratch on their Lumia 920?

I thought that the lumia 920 is supposed to have scratch resistant gorilla glass? Some how after 3 days of carrying the phone in a pocket there are scratches visible on the screen : ( Do I have a defective unit??? I'm very disappointed what should I do?

I feel like I have a lot of scratchs on mine from absentmindedly setting it down screen down. This has only happened twice and I can clearly see where the weight of the phone rests on the table/surface I set it on due to scratches in 2 bands about 1cm in from the long sides of the phone. This hasn't happened to me with any other phone because the glass wasn't near the highest surface on the front of the phone nor was it curved. I can really only see this small scratches with the screen off at an angle, or if I looks really hard since I am aware of them now.
I am ordering a screen protector so I hopefully wont have to baby my phone and always set it in a padded cradle to not get scratched. My Samsung Focus would get thrown across the room to couches and tossed to desks for the past two years with only minor scratches since it had raised edges around the screen preventing the glass from getting scratched by tiny pieces of dirt.
LESSON: never ever set your Nokia 920 face down on something since it may get micro scratches that will make you self conscious of your phone screen!

I have over scratched the code on my itunes card. Is there another way to redeem or am I now out $25?

I just bought an itunes card but while scratching the code on the back the last few numbers/letters got messed up. I now can't read the code. I have been trying to figure out how to contact itunes but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know another way I can redeem this card or am I out $25?

It's referring to your credit card, the one associated with your Apple ID in the iTunes Store. The number they want is the rightmost one on the signature strip on the back of the credit card.
