Find a friend with asthma and borrow their inhaler, cover the gum and spray away. Eventually it will freeze and be brittle and you can chip it off. Freezing is the way to go.

I imaie enough time with compressed air would make the gum brittle. different angle on freezing: try compressed air. but when you do, aim from the side (i.e. parallel to the monitor, not into it).

I would be careful with product like Goo Gone. Also, try not to press too hard on the screen. The freezing trick sounds like a good idea as long as the monitor is off and you don't turn it back on until the screen returns to room temperature. And as Nick said, put the ice in a plastic bag!

I don't even want to know how that happened :( You might be able to use an ice cube to harden the gum so that it comes off a bit easier. Just make sure you toss the ice cube in a plastic bag so you don't get any water on your iMac. Good Luck! Ouch!

Most times I've had to remove gum involved freezing or alcohol, and neither is an option here. Try dragging it to the trash.
