I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds? When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

I have an imac that I've had for a couple years. The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds. When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down. I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved. That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough. I've never had a problem with overheating. Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan. I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!! And, now SMC fan control won't "stick." The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

I've tried everything i can think of, reset modem, cleared cache/cookies, restarted my computer, re-install firefox 8.0, and I opened firefox without any addons enabled.
Over the past 2 months, at most, I've had nothing but problems with firefox, firefox 7 wouldn't work right with my logins (after logging in it would not load any pages), so I waited a month and downloaded firefox 8.0, was working fine for a few days then, like I said, it doesn't load pages period. Thank you, anyone who reads this and helps me out.

HT4101 Has anyone else experienced a problem with their X10 after transferring pictures to an iPad?

Following the transfer of pictures to an iPad 2 or new iPad (3rd gen) via the SD Card Reader in Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit, the card has to be reformatted by the camera to get it to work properly. Not reformatting impacts the X10’s ability to turn on and off when turning the Zoom ring. Sometimes the indicator lamp just blinks (amber) and the camera turns on after approximately 20 seconds or does not turn on at all. In Playback mode, it also takes about 20 seconds before the camera monitor (display) comes up. Once in Live or Playback mode the camera seems to operator normally and can switch back and forth. Although the issue is not completely debilitating – it limits my ability to back up and edit pictures on my iPad when traveling and severely impacts the camera’s ability to ready for a shot. My X10 has firmware Ver. 1.03 and both iPads are running iOS 5.1.1 – the latest available.

I'm having the exact same problem with a Fujifilm X100 when using a 32GB SD card. I tried it with an old 4GB card and it worked fine. With the 32GB after connecting to the iPad with the SD Card reader the camera becomes unresponsive until reformatting. Not sure if this is a problem with storage capacity of the cards?
I'm running firmware version 1.3 on my camera and iOS 6 beta 4 on my iPad 3.

I have a wireless home phone connect device. Can call out on it when dial tone present, but most times cannot receive calls since purchase. Anyone else having a problem with their home connect device?

Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Anyone else have this problem with their iPhone and MacBook?

Okay, so just now I had my iPhone sitting on my Macbook's bottom left hand corner. I go to slide it off to the side and it locks my MacBook! I thought it was just a coincidence, so I tried it again with the same result. I thought it was bluetooth, but this is off on both my phone and Mac. Anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

The magnetic field of the phone is tripping the lid sensor.

I purchased 'the dark knight' and 'batman begins' from the HD section in the iTunes store. The copy i got was NOT in HD and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?

not very happy, the dark knight was in the 'recently released in HD' section of the HD movies section in the itunes store, does apple owe me a refund for false advertising ? or is there any way to actualy get a hold of the HD copy through itunes ?

I've seen that when I've tried to the length of the audio (or video) clip by dragging the end and had 'snap to' enabled...and it snapped it all the way to the beginning accidently.

Is anyone else having any problems with their music in your library, in the middle of all my songs I'm getting a skipping noise. Never had this problem before. Can someone help?

I have Windows Vista and last week I upgraded my iTunes, i think it's up to 11. something or other and now all my music in my iTunes library has this scratch-type noise in the middle of the song. I've never had this issue before, all my songs played wonderfully and now every song has this scratching-type noise in the middle of it. Can someone help me?

OK, after looking into the settings on "my account" on the Verizon website, it appears that "caller ID" was removed from my "features" on my line. The only reason I actually noticed this is because I have the same phone as someone else on our account, so I looked at their features and noticed mine was missing. Any idea how to get it back on there? I can't seem to figure it out.

Hi all! anyone else NOT had problems with the update?

hi well after hearing bad things about this update i was rather worried thinking it wouldnt work, or it would crash or lose everything, ok so ive lost my apps but i can drag and drop them back in (i hope ) touch wood apart from that it worked a treat

I Have tried cleaning the port, got some lint out an I thought that would of helped but its doing it even more, I'd say every 10-20 seconds or so, it happens less when I actually plug it in though to my lightening to USB cable, it is charging really fast though, I just plugged it in then an it went from 20% battery to 37% in under 10 mins, I'm pretty sure if I unplugged it an started using it I'd probably lose it just have fast too, any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Anyone else have a problem with their clock disappearing from their menu bar every day at 10:00 am?

The date is still displayed, and there is a blank spot where the time should be. Unchecking/checking the "show date/time" box in date/time preferences fixes it, but I have to take this action every day. It's more annoying than anything else, and am looking to see if there is a fix.
This is new since I updated to Mavericks.

reset SMC and re-verify
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Does anyone else have a problem with their charger getting extremely hot?

When I charge my macbook pro, the charger gets soooo hot- Should I get a new one or does apple repair them? It is so hot I can't touch it sometimes.

I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.
