  • What's the best way to clean the DVD player in a 2007 Macbook Pro?

    Hello All.
    Our older MacBook Pro from mid 2007 has not had its DVD Player cleaned.
    Now our Redbook DVD'S are "skipping over damaged areas"
    What's the best way to clean it?
    Thanx for your advice.

    take the files from the dvds and back them up as iso or just the files onto your computer. this way you wont have to rely on the optical drive.
    the safest way is to take it into the apple store to clean,
    but if there are danages on the DVD, you'll have to somewhere for them to buff it out. some gaming store will do this for you for a charge. You are better off taking the media off of the disks and saving them on your computer or usb stick, so on.
    hope this helps ;-)

  • TS2634 What is the best way to clean the polyurethane smart covers?

    Hate the polyurethane Apple "smart" covers, but for some reason Apple did not create leather smart covers for the iPad Air. I know there is a leather case for the Air, but it's too bulky. I like the smart cover concept, but the polyurethane gets really dirty and smudgy and gross.
    What are best ways to keep this thing clean without ruining it? Thanks!

    Hi DGL23,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This page has some helpful tips for cleaning Apple products, including the iPad Smart Cover:
    How to clean Apple products

    iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—polyurethane
    To clean your polyurethane iPad Smart Cover / Case, first remove it from the iPad. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Wipe the front of the Smart Cover / Case and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt.
    Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the polyurethane Smart Cover / Case.

  • What is the best way to clean the iPad mini screen?

    What is the best way, recommended by Apple to clean the Ipad Mini screen (ie: type of paper or cloth and what solution) ?

    It's a damp soft cloth. Like a microfiber cloth you'd see for eyeglass cleaning. Damp, not wet, and just water, no chemicals.
    Unless your screen is really grungy, simply wiping away the fingerprints should help.

  • What is the best way to clean the display on an rMBP and Thunderbolt display?

    Can I use a damp cloth to clean my display on an rMBP and a Thunderbolt display, or should it be a dry soft cloth?  My displays are in desparate need of cleaning.

    This is what I now use:
    http://www.officeworld.com/Worlds-Biggest-Selection/DRACB702288/13Q1/?gclid=COjp r8rOj7kCFVNo7Aode3EAxg
    I discovered it in the supermarket.  I dampen a small microfiber cloth (6x6) with the Windex and wipe the display.  Then I use a large microfiber cloth (12x15) to dry it.  Excellent results.
    NOTE THIS IS NOT THE CONVETIONAL WINDEX CLEANER.
    Ciao.

  • What is the best way to clean the imac screen?

    I have tried the included cloth but that is not working very well - & I don't want to use something that will cause streaks. Any suggestions?

    Apple strongly recommends DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS.
    Use a lightly damp clothe with water only and clean your screen.

  • What is the best product for network mapping and monitoring? I am an inexperienced user). Mac 10.9.2 laptop

    I have lots of questions, but the gist is that I want to know the best product, preferably from the app store, that I can use for network mapping mapping and monitoring.
    I want to get their mac address or other police trackable etc info so I can use my computer safely.
    I am also being cyberbullied.
    I try just using ethernet but still get intruded on, for instance, messages that "other devices are using my ip address". The only other device I own is an iPod that I keep sahut off plus wifi turned off then.
    (NOTE:  You can skip the rest of this message if you want. It regards hacking attempts etc,  a little out of the scope of discussion, perhaps).
    Also a home intrusion where computer was thoroughly hacked with router(s) set up "very very close to me," according to Apple.
    Also, hackers get into my Facebook and gmail and yahoo mail, really,  no matter what I try to do on my computer and how many times I change passwords it does no good.
    Also,  The ip addresses for google and the one in syste preferences and the one looking up my ip address on ip chicken always gets three different results.
    More worrisome it that hackers got into my Wells Fargo account a week after the intrusion even though I changed all account #'s and pw plus notified bank. They also broke into paypal using my new account numbers.
    Also, stuff like Facetime pops up on my computer without my clicking on it even though I'm using ethernet to connect. I've given up on Time Capsule because I'm told that's how the hackers hacked my computer so thoroughly duriung the intrusion.
    Thanks.

    Aubry,
    why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

  • Best way to clean the anti-glare display

    What's the best way to clean the anti-glare display?

    Use a damp lint-free cloth with light pressure.  iKlear has products if you are worried about damaging the screen by using chemicals other than water.  DON'T USE WINDEX!  It contains ammonia which can damage the screen.
