Water/spit leaves streaks all over the monitor/case

i cleaned my old iMacG4 with a damp cloth (water or spit) and it worked fine. but when i do the same with my new iMac (Intel), it leaves stubborn streaks on the glass/metal, that i must buff out with a soft cloth. why is that? the manual says to use just water to clean the computer case/screen. thanks.

It's because the iMacs have a sheet of glass covering the front of the screen and apparently glass is more susceptible to streaking. You ever try cleaning your windows with just water? I just used a special lcd screen cleaner on mine and had the same problem. I first used the cleaner cloth then the buffer cloth but I couldn't get the streaks out. So I dampened the buffer cloth with water and rubbed the excess cleaner off. Then used a third cloth to polish the streaks out and that worked. I guess the screen cleaner was too concentrated and just needed to be diluted a bit.

  • When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

    3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
    Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
    On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
    Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • Why is my page or connection jumping all over the place after my recent update to firefox 5.0

    I came back from a week away and when I got on the internet firefox had updated to 5.0 and ever since then my pages just jump all over the place Why?

    Hi Aish,
    I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
    I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
    In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
    I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
    My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
    Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!

  • Why is the webpage jumping all over the place with parallax scrolling?

    Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated here... I've built a looooong (10,200 pixel) parallax scrolling site, when I click 'Preview' it plays like a dream, but when I render the HTML, view in browser or publish to business catalyst to view, it just jumps all over the place. I realise that the page is extremely long, I'm thinking it could be that but just need to clarify it before I rework it all and maybe find out after, that it was something else that was causing it to happen.
    Your views would be greatly appreciated!

  • Video Dimensions all Over the Place

    Hello there,
    First off you'll have to excuse me as I'm pretty new to the whole video side of things. Well the problem is, I've created a DVD which is supposed to go to a client fairly soon - and the problem is while viewing it the screen size is jumping all over the place. I have video elements provided by clients which i imported as timelines, i have menu's with static backgrounds and i have timeline menu transitions which are dynamically linked from after effects.
    The only part of the dvd that appears full screen (16x9) is the dynamically linked transitions. They are 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen and are set to 16x9 in encore (greyed out).
    The video stuff from the client is 720x405 Square Pixels set to 4x3 in encore (greyed out). This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
    The menu stuff is 720x480 D1/DV NTSC Widescreen set to 4x3 in encore. This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
    After reading what i've wrote in my last few sentences, i can now see the problem is because nothing is the same! So the question is more now what i do to correct it. Do i resize the client video and the menu images to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen? And if i do this will it crop the video or will it squeeze the video etc. on a 4x3 screen?
    Thanks for the help,
    Steven.

    Ok, now I've resized all menu's and assets to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen (set to 16x9 in encore). On a 16x9 screen everything is looking very sexy indeed, but on a 4x3 screen it is letterbox. I tested this with a regular DVD which adjusts to fill the 4x3 screen.
    Any quick way of achieving this?
    It may be possible, but not with Encore - a menu is either full 4:3 or full 16:9, but not both. Similarly, 16:9 video from Encore will play back letterboxed on a 4:3 screen.
    An additional note: not all commercial DVDs behave in the way you describe - sometimes menus are either 4:3 or 16:9, but not both, and nearly always 16:9 video is displayed letterboxed on a 4:3 monitor.

  • Why does iDVD store stuff "all over the place"?  Project now broken

    Hi all,
    did an hour long family movie project, and in the meantime cleaned up my documents folder and deleted some stuff that I thought was internet downloads etc, or extra working files.
    Turns out it was the important audio stuff for iDVD!
    I've broken my project... the stuff was obviously important, and now when I open this project it has a big broken chain on it.
    Why does iDVD store important stuff "all over the place" like that? I mean, it's confusing enough (for newbies) to learn where the events and where the projects are stored, but why does it strip off the sound and store them in documents where ANYTHING could get deleted?

    Just to add, an iDVD project should be thought of as a shell, an empty container. It has references to the media files used in it, but does not actually contain these files. The files remain in their normal locations. When you burn to disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD pulls these files just for encoding onto a DVD disk or into a disk image file. It does not really move these files into its project files. Your iMovies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete any of these files, iDVD will not be able to locate them, and you will see the broken link images.
    For this and several other reasons, it is a good idea to leave everything alone and not go deleting any files until you have finished your iDVD project.
    Then, when you are ready to burn it to DVD disk, be sure to do a 'Save as disk image' to create a disk image file of the project. This process looks like the burn process, and the encoding will take just as long, but the end result is a self-contained disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
    The advantage of the disk image file is that you will have an exact copy of your iDVD project with all the media files encoded into it. You now can safely delete all the media used in this iDVD project without losing the project. Now you can clean up your documents folder! Deleting all the files used in the project will also save you drive space.
    You can save disk image files as backups and can move them to external drives or other computers. You can burn DVD disks from disk image files using Disk Utility or Toast. You don't have to worry about your burned DVD disk breaking/melting or having something spilled on it (kids in the house!). You can always get the disk image file and burn another copy. (Great for the relatives who somehow 'lose' the great DVD you made for them!).
    You cannot edit the disk image files however, so you should be creating one only when your project is completely finished.
    If you wish to save all your iDVD files while you are working on a project, you can archive your iDVD project. I have not found the need to do this, but the link J Keller gave you for the tutorial explains how to save as archive and as disk image. Obviously, the archive project will be larger since it is saving all the media. Archived projects can also be moved to other drives or computers.
    Hope you can recreate your project.
    Note to J Keller: the video tutorial was quick and gave the brief how-to and why. Nothing complicated.

  • Default setting all over the place k9diamond

    hi, i just upgraded my cpu to a 940be, working a dream, overclocks well when 9850 didnt! (see sig for spec)
    anyway, with the 9850, if i put things in cell menu on auto, they were all over the place it would set cpu to 3gz etc, so i set it all manually. i flashed to update 3 using the great tool on here.
    fitted new cpu, no power held reset cmos to a good while, and powered up,
    checksum incorrect press F1 to set up. the cpu volts were red and 1.8 volts!! i really hope this is not what was going through cpu?
    so, had to set it all manually and it going great, but what the hell are these defaults about? i thought it would make sense to put everything down until you optimised not go wading in on max power?
    bios show s all hardware correctly, just doesnt know how to set it up.
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks.

  • How come my links layout go all over the place in different browsers?

    Hello,
    Please go to <http://www.peterdanko.com/errr.png> and see the screen shot of the page I am having difficulty with in the  design view.  Note the links: INSTALLATIONS, BELT COLORS, FINISHING, PRICING are neatly centered with the text body above and in a single line.
    Now view <http://www.peterdanko.com/atmos.html>  Note they are now stacked and randomly placed.  In different browsers they are all over the place.
    How can I keep them neat and tidy in all browsers?
    Thanks

    Below is the complete html code/css re-written for the 'product-wrapper' section. (scroll down). Not sure if this is of help or not. I think you need to take some time to learn some more html/css as the way youre going about it at the moment must be a complete nightmare for you. Copy the code below, (scroll down) paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site folder. View in browser.
    You need to simplify your way of working instead of creating a <div> for each of your page elements, which must be a headache to keep track of???
    Example: Instead of putting your header 'Atmos Seating Group' in it's own individual <div> use a more meaningfull html tag like a header tag, <h2>Atmos Seating Group</h2>
    Then use some css to target the <h2>. We know the <h2> tag is in the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' <div> so write it as below:
    right_tx_bx_400pxWd h2 {
    text-align: center;
    margin: 15px 0;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    Similarly instead of inserting the main wording in its own <div> use a paragraph tag, <p></p> it's more meaningful. Then target the paragraph tag:
    #right_tx_bx_400pxWd p {
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 16px;
    color: #999;
    Get the point. We only have to keep track of one <div> not several and we can target tags in that <div> more cleanly and effectively.
    Try and keep all off your css together i.e. so all the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' css is kept together so its easy to find in the stylesheet intead of scrolling up and down.
    Don't use heights on <divs> unless you know how high it will be and you won't know that unless it just contains images or you set a specific height for a scroll bar.

  • Page all over the show

    My new website, www.portobelloroad.org.uk, looks OK in IE7, Safari and Firefox.  However, I saw it today on a Dell monitor, and ait was all over the show.. Just not what it should be.
    Any reason for this? It even looks OK on my little Acer notebook

    Thanks for your comment.  However, the page behaves OK in IE, Safari and Firefox
    It doesn't behave well for me in Firefox.
    >Could it be a problem wirh Dell' monitor, rather than my code?
    The problem does not have anything to do with your monitor. It's related to the viewport width and your use of AP divs as a primary layout method. Karl, we've been telling you for years that you should not use AP Divs as a primary layout so I'm not sure why you are surprised about this.

  • Pointer jumps all over the screen erratically on new MacPro Quad Core

    I just powered up my new MacPro Quad Core Xeon for the first time today. For the monitor, my new Viewsonic VG2230. I noticed that my new mighty mouse was skipping all over the screen and it was hard to get the pointer on the place on the screen I wanted to click. It got much worse when I added the second monitor (Viewsonic VA1912), and didn't want to move across from one screen to another at first.
    I thought maybe it was the mouse, and put on my old Razor Pro mouse, which I know and love. Same problems. I switch USB ports still the same.
    According to Viewsonic, both monitors are compatible, and I have used the VA1912 successfully on my old PowerMac. I thought it was odd that the number of screens affected the problem, which is why I am concentrating on the monitors, but I wonder if it isn't a problem with my Mac.
    Any ideas?

    Hello g:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I suspect a faulty mouse. However, try two things first. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart. Reset the PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Second, after assuring Apple this really was a problem, i got the ultimate insult. "If you would like to lodge a technical support ticket, we will need your credit card. This call will cost you $150.00."
    You see, I bought this thing four months ago. Apparently you only get a 90 day free call period. After that you're warranty is actually a cost per call scenario…..
    There is no Apple charge for a warranty issue and the mouse has a one year warranty. Call Applecare back (or take it to a store if they have one close to you). Unless I am badly mistaken, Apple will replace the mouse and pay for shipping both ways (I had one fail a couple of years ago myself). Do identify the call as a warranty issue.

  • Adobe Muse Not publishing site as designed - elements all over the place.

    Hi - I've been working on a landing page for a site and although the design is exactly as I wish - when I publish the site various elements are thrown all over the page.
    I've attached 2 screenshots illustrating this, and a URL.   www.marchdental.ca/march-dental-welcome.html
    Thank you for any help you can give me!

    Hi David and Mr. Burro - many thanks for your replies - my apologies for not replying sooner!
    In fact, David - you've nailed it.  I had inadvertently pinned some elements to the footer and so they would drag downward in larger browser windows.   My thanks to you for pointing this out!
    Cheers!

    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.

         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

  • Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

    Hi,
    For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
    However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
    Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
    Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
    thanks for any suggestions
    matt

    The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:

    Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
    I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
    There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.
