Why does the Apple store carry iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1600 why does the apple TV say theres no connection when I have it?

Why does my apple TV want to recognize my internet password? and what does -39092 mean?

Hi MLFO!
I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:

Why does the Apple mouse drain so quickly?

I'm not sure if this question is in the right place. I bought a iMac back in January and I've been changing the batteries like every few weeks. My question is why does the mouse drain so quickly?
The batteries in the keyboard have been in there since I got the computer. I think I should buy a wired mouse and just plug it into the back of the iMac. I'm getting sick and tired of having to change the batteries so often.

Hello:
Battery drain is a function of how much the device is used (no surprise to you). I find that my mouse batteries last less - probably because I type so slowly, I use the mouse for anything I can.
Let me give you a suggestion based on my own experience.
I use rechargeable batteries and a 15 minute battery charger. I currently have a drawer full of Energizer 2450 mAh rechargeable batteries and an Energizer 15 minute charger (works for AA and AAA batteries). Rechargeables last less time than Lithium batteries - I think the reason is different voltages (1.2 vs 1.5). I obtained all of the batteries and the charger - new - on eBay at a very reasonable price.
By using rechargeables, you are never without a fresh battery more than 15 minutes, and you are environmentally friendly to boot!

HT1595 Why does the apple tv not support WPA-Enterprise?

We want to roll out apple tv's to our screens throughout our stores for showing slide shows, ads etc, as well as in our board rooms on our projectors for easy airplay output options for our mobile devices. It makes it very difficult and less secure if the apple tvs don't support the entprise level security. With the internal chipworks virtually the same as other iOS devices, why doesn't the apple tv support it and other iOS devices do?
Apple : Please add this funcationality asap!

This is a user forum. There is no one here from Apple to answer or support design dessions. Apple calls AppleTV a "hobby" rather than a product. They have never made it a major focus so if they are cutting courners it is not suprising. ATV is deffinetly not an enterprise grade product. It is ment for home use so I am not supprised it does not support it.

Why does the Apple ID sign in window say connection failed when I try to sign in?

I bought a Macbook Pro from a friend but I need to clear it and set up everything. I am trying to download the new OS software. However when I try to sign in to download the new software "Connection failed" pops up in little red letters. Why is this happening? My apple ID is correct and verified. I have no clue what to do. Help!

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Why does the Apple TV not have Volume Control?

I mean. I get it. I searched the forums.
But, WHY?!!!
It's so stupidly frustrating. I use my new apple tv with my older stereo as sound, no remote for that. Movies and TV Shows wildly vary their volumes and it's always handy to turn the volume up and down at a moment's notice.
Soundcheck doesn't remedy this problem.
It's such an incredibly stupid oversight it's windows-esque.
Are there any workarounds (I'm referring to using the Apple TV to watch HBO, Netflix etc.)?
Thanks. Vent if you need. Whatever.

James, it IS needed. I need it.
I mean the point is taken, but it is absolutely silly to not give users the control over something as substantial as volume.
When you watch a video on youtube, on your laptop or whatever, there is a volume slider. What a concept! So that your source can stay where it's at and you can make changes in the audio level of whatever you happen to be watching, be it netflix (oh look, another volume slider!) or youtube or whatever.
I guess, just to be clear, that is how I would implement it, and that is what I was surprised was gone.
Another Apple product that connects to varying audio inputs is Airport Express. When you want to turn a particular track up or down, you have the option to use the volume buttons on your phone. I mean... I can't be the only person who sees this feature being missing as so absurd. It's so obvious... to me

HT1911 Why does the Apple ID password on my iPhone never work on my iMac desktop? I have to keep changing them when I login back and forth. Why can't it recognize on either device?

It seems that every time I login on my iPhone to buy iTunes, it doesn't recognize my password and I have to change it. Then when I go to iTunes to synch, it says my password which I created on the SAME APPLE ID is invalid and I have to change it. I tried to change it to the same password each time, but still it was not recognized by the other device. Is it because I'm not on Lion or Mountain Lion? (although I seem to remember this problem happening before there was iCloud)
Thanks for any help.
Therese X.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

When I'm using iphone 4 the Apple logo appears and disappears and appears lock screen. What to do? It' s a bug or a hardware problem?

Hi sarasalves,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If the Apple logo is flashing on your iPhone 4, you may need to put the iPhone in recovery mode so that you can restore it. The article below explains how:

Why does the Apple logo come up during the Visualizer?

You know how trippy the Visualizer can be? Well, it's bloody annoying to have the Apple logo reappear every few minutes. This didn't happen with older versions of iTunes. Can the logo be prevented from appearing? What's the point when I know I'm using a Mac and I know Apple made the Visualizer? Do we need what is really an ad during the Visualizer? C'mon Apple, let us just enjoy the Visualizer without the logo, please.

Do you have any 3rd party add-ons affecting the Visulaizer?
For me, the Apple logo only appears at the outset when the visualizer is activated. Baring any 3rd party affects, you may have corruption in one or more of iTunes preferences files. Have you tried iTunes from another User Account to see if the problem shows up there too? If it doesn't, then I'd move the 3 iTunes preferences to the desktop from your User Account/Library/Preferences folder (look for com.apple.itunes.xxxx.plist where xxxx= a specific iTunes name). Then, restart iTunes. If the problem goes away, you'll need to reestablish your custom preferences.

Why does the Apple US Holiday calendar no longer work?

The Apple US Holiday calendar is no longer functional. Is this because it has a mac.com address? Is there a similar replacement calendar?
