What is the best way to obliterate a scratch on the back of the iPad?

As the subject says, I need to make a scratch go away on the back of my iPad.  I don't know what made the scratch, but it is about 2 inches long and extends from near the center (doesn't touch the apple) toward the edge.  I don't want to touch any steel wool to it for fear that it will make a worse mark.  So I am curious if there is a good (and well tried) way of making it look new again.
Thanks,
Tom

There is absolutely nothing that you can do that wouldn't be even more noticeable than the scratch.  You can't polish it out, because the back of an iPad is not polished...  You'll end up with this big polished mark on the back that stands out more from the "matte" texture than the scratch does.  I believe the texture is achieved by something similar to sand blasting, but that process would not be something a home user could do, and would probably be VERY detrimental to the finished iPad.

    Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
    In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
    Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
    I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
    PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
    hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

    What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
    I create worksheets as a teacher and would like to share them from my blog. Currently I am linking to Scribd etc to share PDFs. If I upload the worksheets as an image is there a way to adjust the size/resolution of the PDF for easier viewing? 
    Thanks!

    PDFs are just files. Can you upload files to your blog space? If yes, just upload the PDFs then, in a blog entry, provide the web link (URL) for each file (PDF).
    Or, place the PDFs into your free acrobat.com "files" storage (5GB free). You have one as you have an Adobe ID (needed to make your post here eh).
    https://cloud.acrobat.com/
    You can have acrobat.com provide a "share" link to the PDF. Place that into a blog entry.
    Or - same idea as above (use a "file share" service) -- Microsoft's OneDrive, Adobe's Creative Cloud, Google drive, DropBox, others ...
    Be well...

    There are alternate browsers that redirect flash content to their servers, change it to stuff that works on iOS and send it to your device.
    They mostly kind of work.
    Look at skyfire, photon, iswifter, puffin.
    Read some reviews and see if one will work for you.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Best way to sync data from temp database back to primary one?

    Hello all!!
    I'm trying to figure the best way to remedy this situation.
    I have a RAC cluster...and one instance went down...some problems with all nodes running, etc. Anyway, while working with Oracle support, I was able to get one node up with sqlplus, and I ran a datapump export, and move that file to a test server I have...as that this was the quickest solution, and I was able to get my developers up and running again on the new server.
    I've been working with Oracle support for weeks now...and now all instances on the main RAC cluster all seem to be up and running now.
    The trouble is...the instance that was 'moved' to the test server...has had a LOT of work on it in many of the schemas it contains. I need to move the developers back to the main unit where backups are taken and more horsepower for load testing, etc.
    What is the best way for me to sync the main server up with the changes made in these weeks on the test server.
    Would it be best to take a datapump export from the test box.....move it over to the main server, and basically then....truncate all non-system schemas and just import from the test server (with changes) back onto the main server?
    Any other suggestions?
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne
    ps. Both main and test servers are same version of Oracle 11Gr2 RAC. No rman backups currently being taken on test server, not in archive log mode on test server.

    The trouble is...the instance that was 'moved' to the test server...has had a LOT of work on it in many of the schemas it contains. I need to move the developers back to the main unit where backups are taken and more horsepower for load testing, etc.What is the nature of the work? Cleaned and filtered data? New code/stored procedures/triggers/metadata?

  • Best way to port photos? mac harddrive back to mac

    I want to save my iPhoto library to my hard drive, wipe my macbook clean, and then re-import the photos. What's the best way? I want to preserve order, events, etc. Also, in the finder, when I look at iPhoto library, there is not a folder that holds these photos...it points me to the iPhoto application. My library is about 73GB.
    Thanks,
    Nile.

    The iPhoto library is now a unix styled folder like applications. Just drag the library package to the EHD. After dragging your library to the external hard drive open it by launching iPhoto with the option key depressed and, when asked, choose the library on the EHD to make sure it's working before you wipe clean your boot drive.

  • Best way to change config then change it back after a while.

    I spent some time today trying a couple approaches to this, but they all seemed a little klunky.
    I'm looking for the best way to change the BGP prefixes which are advertised out to an ISP, based on some check.  I want to set a timeout so the router won't attempt to send the route again for say 30 minutes after it is triggered, but then will start advertising it again, and monitor to see if the trigger condition returns.  If the trigger condition returns then again withdrawl the route for 30 minutes and so on.
    I'm using a prefix-list already to limit outbound route advertisments, so it seems simplest to just make a config change to remove one line in the prefix-list, then a few minutes later put it back.
    I tried just using the "cli command wait", but if I set the wait period too long, the applet seemed to die, and never ran the later cli commands to put the prefix-list line back.  There is also a exit-time clause for the event, but I couldn't figure out how to put the line back after the exit-time expired.  Lastly I tried doing an event with a watchdog timer, but also couldn't get that to work either.  Before I spend too much time working on differant options, I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations.
    I've done some TCL scripting on Cisco routers, but that seemed to be overkill for this, and I wanted to keep the config easy to manage for peers who might not be as proficient in TCL scripting.
    This is intended for ASR-1002X routers if it matters.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Thanks for all your help Joe. 
    Ok, so here is my current script, which seems to be working pretty well (changing to entry-type "value" fixed the variability in detection times).  For testing in the script below, I'm using a 30 second timeout for when the line gets put back, and a 60 second timeout for when monitoring should resume after the event is triggered. The script checks the value of the OID every 5 seconds.
    The only other thing I would like to do with it that I can't figure out, is how to use an environment variable for the exit-time.  Ideally, I would just add a value, like 10 seconds, to the ATimeout variable.  However I can't figure out the syntax to just use a var for the exit-time.  Anyone know the secret (or if it is possible?)
