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 way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

    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.

  • 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.

  • Best way to clean an LCD screen

    I would like to know the best way to clean the LCD display for my macbook.

    Apple has a Knowledge Base Article with their own suggestions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60446
    They also suggest a "damp" (water only) cloth. Apple includes a very nice microfiber cloth with all of their LCD displays. Why they don't include the same cloth with the computers that have built-in LCD screens, I have no idea. It would be nice if their own cloth was available as a retail product too.

  • Best way to clean 20" iMac G5 screen

    Anybody know the safest way to clean the 20" LCD screen? I have a bottle of KlearScren. I think it's best to spray onto the cleaning cloth and then wipe the screen, but is there a suggested wiping motion so as not to scratch or damage the screen? Am I being to timid about it?

    Hello again JoHo,
    I mean totally disconnect the machine from any where near any power source.
    Shut down correctly and then pull the plug from the wall BEFORE making any attempt to clean the computer.
    I never use 3rd party cleaning products. Water had alwyas been good enough.
    Using distilled water is even better. The cloth must be lint free and as soft as you can find. Avoid synthetic materials.... They can leave scratches.
    Again I stress that the cloth must be only just damp - If it drips its too wet!!!
    Please post back when you have done the cleaning so that I, at least, know that you have not been electrocuted
    Hope that helps some
    Regards
    Ian

  • What is the best and safest way to clean our imac screen

    ok i'm sorry, i can wait _____ i  only mean the outside glass ___ i'm sure everybody
    has there own special way. ___ to date i don't have any ___  thank you papamike

    On a glossy screen iMac, work in small sections with a damp, but not drippingly damp, microfiber cloth or Q Tip, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth. Work in small sections only. Get the little eyeglass cleaning cloths from an optometrist. Only use water.
    Also, please use an ordinary size font. This looks like you're screaming.

    With the black cloth that came with it or a micro-fiber cloth such as those sold at optometrists to clean eyeglasses.

    Apple recommends a damp piece of microfiber cloth. If you don't have one, you can find one in the optical department at Walmart.
    Good luck!

  • Best way to clean laptop screen??

    What is the best way to clean a laptop screen?

    If you are only talking about fingerprints and dust, a microfiber cloth works great.  Gets everything off without scratching.
    If there are things on the screen that don't come off by wiping, do not use chemical or spray products as they can get into places they don't belong.  A slightly damp cloth, very very slightly damp not wet, and wipe only on the screen surface, not along the edges where moisture can get inside.
    But if you use any moisture you have to be really careful as electronics and liquids do not play well together.

    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.

    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 :-) )
