What is the best way to clean dust from unibody MacBook?

I have the aluminum late 2008 MacBook (basically like the pro, except not). I've realized that I keep finding myself in dusty situations, and while I don't think it's affected my MacBook too much, I think a basic clean is in order.
Anyone know the best method? I've done a bit of browsing and it seems that my options include using a compressed air can, vacuum, moist dust cloth, and even opening it up and shaking. They've all been heavily disputed. I suppose I'll recieve a debate of that sort here, but perhaps we can reach a majority of votes toward one or the other?
Or perhaps, does anyone know if Apple provides some kind of MacBook cleaning service or if computer repair companies would do this? I don't know if that's too drastic...

Best way to clean microfiber cloth used for the display?

What is the best way to clean microfiber clothes used for the display?
Thanks

Hand washing works well, but can be tedious.
If you decide to machine wash, make sure of a few things:
- Use warm water
- Do not wash with towels or undergarments. The microfiber cloth will pick up every bit of lint from them.
- Wash it with similar color items.
- Use regular soap, but don't use bleach or fabric softener. The bleach can damage the cloth (and the Apple cloth is black anyway, do you really want a spotted cloth?) and the fabric softener will reduce the effectiveness of the cloth.
- Hang it up to dry or dry it on the lowest setting of your dryer. I am not certain about the Apple cleaning clothes, but other microfiber clothes have been known to actually melt in the dryer if it gets too hot.
To hand wash:
- Put the cloth in a bowl with a tight fitting lid, add a little soap. Either dish soap or laundry soap will work, you don't need much.
- Close the lid tight & then shake the bowl hard for a few minutes. Find a 3 year old, they'll love to help do this.
- Remove the cloth & rinse it well, making sure the water runs clear.
- Air dry flat or throw it in the dryer at a low setting.

What is the best way to clean a white Apple keyboard?

Take the batteries out if applicable, and use a very slightly damped lint-free cloth. Be very careful not to get any actual liquid into it. A brush would also be useful for cleaning between the keys: if you want to get fancy you can buy mini-vacuum cleaners for this, such as this one.

i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

For routine maintenance/upgrades, just {noformat} "stop er *" {noformat} should be preferred; and when all processes are stopped, mgr can (optionally) be stopped. If you really are waiting endlessly for this to return, the real question is "why": then, perhaps there are other parameters that can be adjusted to make GG stop more quickly. (On the other hand, {noformat} "stop mgr!" {noformat} is harmless, the "!" simply prevents it from asking "are you sure?" before stopping the process.)
I really wouldn't use "kill" unless you really have a good reason to (and the reason itself requiring the process to be killed should be analyzed & resolved). To "kill" a process shouldn't cause data loss (GG always maintains checkpoints to prevent this) -- but still it seems unnecessary, unless there really is something that should be killed. (Aside: I mean, I can kill -9 / "force quit" my browser and/or 'halt' my laptop every time as well, and it would probably be "faster" to -- but it can cause issues (and wasted time) upon restart: i.e., fsck, recover sessions, whatever. Same basic idea, imo.)
There's a reason there are different commands to 'stop' processes (stop vs. stop! vs. kill). Just for example, "stop replicat !" causes current transactions to be rolled back; there typically is no reason for this, you'll just restart that txn when the process is restarted; might as well let the current one finish. And "kill extract" (I believe) will not warn about potentially "long running transactions" that can cause (painful) issues at startup (missing old archive logs, etc). There are probably other examples, as well.
So if this really is "routine", then "stop", don't "stop!" or "kill". If there are long delays, see why first & see if they can be addressed independently. (This really is just a stock answer for a generic question, it would be irresponsible for me to answer otherwise :-) )

I'd gather by your "reset Safari" and "clean up" you mean by sites you rather not have your mom see.

What is the best way to clean a Macbook anti glare screen

What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro anti glare screen

I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:

I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth. The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.

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 ;-)

Whats the best way to clean an imac?

Hi, I've had my iMac for about five years, the white 20-inch iMac. I've noticed some flickring on the screen when I change window; looks like static for just a mili-second on screen. Also, sometimes I see dots and lines in the dropshadow of active windows... I've heard this is due to dust in the fan. What would be the best way of cleaning it out?

Could also just be an accumulation of dust on the botton grill work and small air intake behind the stand that is causing the iMac and graphics to run hot.
Every few months I shut down (stopping the fans) and vigorously vacuum the bottom grill work and small intake of my 2006 Early Core Duo to keep it running cool.
Check your current tempuratures with iStat Pro, vacuum the air intakes and check again. Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - iStat Pro
Unfortunatly if however the Graphic's chip is damaged from repeated overheating, then really the only fix is a very expensive repair or a new iMac.

What's the best way to clean a sticky home key?

I just purchased a brand new iPhone, and much to my dismay, something is causing the home key to stick. What's the best way to clean such an area? Can I do it myself, or is it best left to professionals? Thanks for your help.

Not if the device is in warranty and the issue is a defect not caused by your negligence. Take it in and let Apple take a look at it. If you fool around with it yourself and really cause some damage, then your warranty will not cover the repair. Better to be safe than sorry.

There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
- via WiFi

From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.
