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?

Yes ... 'rub gently' ... that might be the key ...
Thank you, Dennis!

What do you use to clean your macbook pro

just curious what i should get to clean dirt and grit and grime from my keyboard, screen, and casing
thanks

...dirt and grit and grime from my keyboard...
Please look at the Marware Protection Packs...

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

What do you use to clean your MBP, and how do you do it?

Is iKlear the clear (heh) favorite? Is there any other more generic stuff I can use that'd be cheaper (or that I could depend on should the product no become longer available)?
How often do you clean? And how thoroughly (i.e. is there anyone out there who cleans under the keys or in any crevices like that to get out dust and stuff, assuming it's possible to do that at all)?
And how do you do it in a way that doesn't let moisture in when you clean the keyboard and related areas? Everyone says "if it's not dripping, it won't do anything," but it seems evident to me that it's highly possible to have a cloth that's not dripping, yet still be damp enough to allow moisture to get in where it doesn't belong. There are threads here about people who've damaged their MBP in just that way. How do you make sure that doesn't happen?
Feel free to answer with what you think is best in general or with how you personally do it... or both!
Thanks!

Everyone says "if it's not dripping, it won't do anything,"
Who says that? It's totally wrong and extremely dangerous to your MBP.
No third party products are necessary. Tap water (or distilled water, if you have access to it) will suffice just fine.
I use the black cloth that came with the computer to clean it. I turn on a tap such that it is just on more than a steady drip, then moisten a corner of that cloth. Wring out the excess moisture until it is only damp. There must NOT be any drips whatsoever, so wring it out thoroughly. Shut down the computer, and use the moistened corner to wipe down the areas of aluminum that are not close to the ports or speaker grilles. You may have to moisten the cloth multiple times to cover the whole machine. Mine often dries in the process of wiping down the case. It must be that dry, that it will dry out in 3 minutes.
There is no reason to take a chance with getting any water into the computer at all. Take half an hour to do a thorough job with a very lightly damp cloth (may have to remoisten it once or twice) every couple weeks, instead of paying $1000 for a logic board replacement if any water gets in.

Usually just a cloth is good. If you want to keep fingerprints off you could buy an anti fingerprint screen protector or use the apple smart cover, which cleans the screen whenever you use it.

You have DiskUtility to run periodicly for your basic good house keeping. As for as fast I would recommend 8GB of RAM.
I would recommend Installing AppleJack -
"a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can`t load the GUI, or don`t have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use."

What do you use to manage your clients and push software?

Going around from machine to machine is getting tiring. We have been evaluating different software distribution applications and have yet to find one that has done the job well. What product(s) do you use to manage your clients as far as drivers, applications,
settings, configs, etc? All of our machines are running windows 7 (possibly Windows 8 by the end of next year).
The one's I've tried are: Dell Kace and ManageEngine Desktop Central 8.
Thanks,

Hi Matt,
I always use GPO to deploy applications:
With Group Policy Software Installation, a software management feature, you can manage software throughout its life cycle within the organization. Group Policy Software Installation works in conjunction with Group Policy and Active Directory. It is one of

What would you use to clean a USB female connector on a TP X200?

I accidentally spilled some thick sugary drink in there which dried up. What would you use to make it usable again?Thanks.

Try a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure to remove the power supply and battery and have plenty of swabs on hand. Don't soak the connector

What should I use to clean my iPod screen?

I was wondering what I should use to clean my iPod touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1 (9B176)?

Cleaning is covered in the basics section of the manual:

What do you use to play your Tunez?

Well what app do you use
Im still trying to decide which i like best, so far for me the one i like most is Banshee, seems to handle over 30,000 mp3 with out a problem, so far any way.
So whats your fav Player?

Amarok. it's the fastest with a big collection, and has many things no other player has. and most of these are actually usefull. i can't live without the lyrics (and the ability to edit them), the new tags are great (tough i'm waiting for the day they can be automatically synced with LastFM). i'm crazy about that lastFM integration, btw, it's amazing. a great way to find out about new music...
and i like the great integration with all kinds of audio players like ipod's, iRiver etcetera. great podcasting support. automatic re-coding of music to a format supported by the audioplayer - how could you use a player/sync app which doesn't offer that?

New Mac Pro: What are You using to connect your eSATA external drives to you nMacPro?

Hi,
I have some eSATA external HDs that I would like to use with my 2013 New Mac Pro.
I was just wondering what other have been using to connect their nMPs to eSATA devices and how well it has worked. I have seen a USB3 to eSATA cable from NewEgg.... which seems like a good idea ... if it will work.
Thanks!

LaCie TB HUB has two TB ports which is good for daisy chain. Has two esata ports also. I connect a Voyager bought from OWC to one sata port and that's where my bare 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives reside when I need them. The other sta port has a Pioneer 207 blu ray drive. When I sleep my 2013 Mac Pro I turn off the power to the Voyager and the Pioneer. All work flawlessly.

What do you use to rip your CD

The topic is well stated, just want your opinion.

I use intervideo WinRIP, Musicmatch or Windows media player. I reckon that Winrip produces the best rips and it will rip anything, but I find the interface is a bit clunky. Musicmatch is good for file conversion and it's the only one that does Mp3pro, but it's slow and won't rip all files. WM is the only one that will rip to WMA and it's convenient because it's on every system.
The only problem I've had ws when I decided to re-rip my entire CD collection in one session with WM0 at 92kbps, every single rip from that session stutters, could be my PC, could be WM0.

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!

And then there is Apple's way:

What do you use to write Java programs?

Hi. Do you mind if I ask you what do you use to write your programs in Java? I am a student and we are using NetBeans IDE 3.6. I know it is a bit old but the tutor says we must stick to that one. What is best for writing Java programs?
Thanks.

Do you think those things will make things easier or is it more complex?If you're learning on your own, you'd better use something more up to date (most probably better interface, childhood bugs fixed, and better support on the Internet).
If you're in a classroom, or a training room, you'd better use what the instructor tells, or at least what other students/trainees use. Easier to get help and share tips if everyone has the same setup.
Good luck learning Java.

Documents managment: what do you use?

I've been trying to find a good document manager to organise the mess I have in articles, lecture notes, books, etc, mostly in pdf format. So I need a tool like Referencer (http://icculus.org/referencer/) or gPapers (http://gpapers.org/) that could help me with that. Lamentably, both of them have a large list of dependencies, like hal and some gnome stuff, I would like to avoid. So I wander if any of you knows about some other, less bloated, tool to do the job.
Maybe one of you have made a nice little script to retrieve BibTeX citations plus a database, or something along those lines.
So, what do you use to organise your bibliography?

itsbrad212 wrote:The only documents I read are pdf's, so I use either mupdf or zathura for that.
EDIT: Wouldn't this fit better in Off-Topic, as this is in the section for requesting help?
I am asking for help. Despite the title, this wasn't meant to be a poll, and for sure not about document readers, but I get where the confusion arises.
So far it seems mendeley is the closest thing to what I'm looking for, it looks fairly complete. But I dislike 2 things, it being closed source and the need to create an account to use the full featured program. I think I will use it though, at least while I find a replacement or make some time to write a script to retrieve the bibtex citations from internet.
I won't mark the thread as solved in case someone else knows about a good way to manage bibliographic material.
