Need help removing weird stain on iMac screen ?

Have you uploaded the correct pictures - they don't show the screen? There's one of a window with a curtain, another of an iPhone and the third looks like an iPad wallet. I was expecting to see pictures of the offending iMac screen 😉.

Anyway, annoying as it is, it's probably best handled by Apple under warranty. They may even replace it.

Contact AppleCare... If purchased new you have 90 days Free telephone support... 3 Years if you bought the AppleCare Protection Plan.

Bring it in. You don't want to use any kind of solvents on the screen.

A Time Machine backup should* be fine. Just make sure it's up-to-date before you set off to the store with your Mac.

(*I say should because, rarely, there have been a few reports on here where users discovered their TM backup for some unknown reason failed and them dataless! As I say, rare, but it can happen. I guess that's why many recommend making another backup in the form of a bootable clone, using either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper!)

Bit of an annoyance to have the problem, but once it's sorted you'll be glad you took the trouble.

Good work with the backups 🙂. Thanks for the feedback.

There have been Apple Stores in Belgium since 2007. Here is a list:
