    Is it normall for a Macbook Pro 13" retina 2 weeks old to overheat during browsing web pages ?
    i just brought a new MacBook Pro 13" Retina ( Dual Core i5 2.6GHz , 8GB Ram , 512GB Flash Storage ) and i notes that its really get OVERHEAT on the top right side of the keyboard and the fans work loudly when i brows web or play a game ( CSR Racing ) , it get heat that when i touch the top right side of the keyboard ( the aluminum body on top of the bower key exactly ) i cant keep my finger for morethan 10 or 15 second ..
    and the battery wont last for morethan 4 or 5 hours while it supposed to last for 9 hours according to Apple.
    so guys is this normal ?
    Thanks ,

    i've did some search on the same issue and it really seems like everyone have it , even thou at apple reseller showroom here in Doha-Qatar the sales man told me this a such issue in the retina macbooks and apple has admit it and you must take it to the service center and change it , while at the service center said a totally different things and that its fine to get heat ..
    in meanwhile my way back i pass by another apple reseller showroom and they clearly said if ur mack gets heat u must go and change it ...
    im really lost and i have no idea whats goin on here and whom should i listen to .. i hope someone from APPLE support will read this and reply us whats goin on ?     

  • Is Unity Web Player safe for my MacBook Pro?

    Is Unity Web Player safe for my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, just be sure you download it directly from the developer website: http://unity3d.com/webplayer. A fair number of file download sites bundle adware or other unwanted content with legitimate applications/plugins.

  • My appleid is working fine on the web, and iPhone, but I cannot get my MacBook Pro to recognize the applied and log into iCloud

    My appleid is working fine on the web, and iPhone, but my MacBook Pro does not recognize the same password, and I cannot log into iCloud.  I have deleted the iCloud account, and reentered a new one, and that has no effect. 

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

    im am trying to set up my printer for web services and it is asking me for a proxy address

    Have you downloaded and installed an App Store app that you downloaded free from some website instead of from the App Store? If so, that's a stolen app, and you need to delete it.

  • Server for Web hosting and email (only  for 3 domains)

    Hello guys,
    I want to setup mac mini server for my company which will host only 3 web sites and email server for the moment.
    What i got so far,
    01. I have Macmini server
    02. I have static ip address
    03. I have router (vigor 2700) which forward the external ip address (my ip start from 87.197.XXX.XXX) in to my Server using DMZ hosts
    (So i have 192.168.1.20 as my server ip address(local) and when i point 87.197.132.48  from out side (using web browser) i can see Mac server page)
    So can i setup the server using this infomation. Just want to make sure that i allready got everythign to setup the server.
    1st question : Do i have to all information to start this ?
    Please help me with this first, then i will have more  questions latter.
    Thanks in advance 

    Migrate out of 192.168.1.0/24 (and 192.168.0.0/24) as those will cause problems for your eventual use of VPNs to connect into your network.  Most every coffee shop and home network on the planet uses those, and the IP routing inherent in a VPN doesn't appreciate finding the same subnet on both ends of the VPN.  The earlier you get your network out of those particular subnets - and preferably over to a subnet somewhere within the 172.16.0.0/12 or 10.0.0.0/8 blocks - the easier the network migration will be.
    Set up your internal DNS services and your external DNS services (I'm assuming your local DNS server will not be delegated to serve DNS publicly) and particularly establish an A record in (at least) your public DNS referencing your mail server, and then enter that mail server A record entry as the MX mail exchange host for each of the three domains, and set up three virtual domains on the mail server. 
    If your gateway is sufficiently capable, you can have a separate domain or subdomain within your network, and have all your "public" names hosted externally.  You can then use example.com outside, and example.net inside, and any example.com references from the outside or from the inside will resolve to your external static IP address and (if your gateway has the ability to "reflect" traffic to the public static IP) it'll all work most easily.  If your gateway isn't capable, then you can also host the example.com domain internally in your local DNS server, but that means maintaining two parallel sets of DNS entries.  Or you can get a more capable gateway.  (I did not research your gateway.)
    You'll want to read the Apple mail service documentation around alias entries, as there are two ways to do this.  See the stuff around pages 73 and 77 in that document.  Better still, just skim that mail service administration manual; that'll get you an introduction to the whole area and some familiarity with the general terms and concepts, and that manual is fairly readable.
    Then read the TopicDesk Spam Documentation.
    If you don't have IT staff around (some of your time, as well as that of others) to dedicate to this mail server management (including user management, troubleshooting, backups, etc.) hosting mail externally can be a good trade-off.

  • I use web mail from lotus notes and need Firefox to connect with my MacBook Pro. Since updating to version four I no longer have the ability to see or open attachements. What I am doing wrong?

    I updated my MacBook Pro with version 4 yesterday. I access my company's lotus notes with this browser. I can access the web site, but cannot open attachments. The message I received is that I have removed the attachment. I haven't. The text that states the name of the attachment is there. I can click on it but it won't open and there is nothing in the attachment box in Web Mail.

    Try the "light mode". Surprise :)

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

  • Web Images and App Store Icons are distorted in MacBook Retina Display

    Recently, most of the icons on Mac App Store are distorted. I also noticed this on web images when browsing using Safari or Google Chrome. By the word "distorted", I mean that the image was not properly loaded, it contains pink lines and multiple blue and pink dots. I even experienced this on Apple website. When I click on "Shop", the images for Macs, iPod, iPhone, etc. are distorted or you can see some image ghosting. I haven't experienced this issue on other non-web applications like Office, Finder, etc.
    Do you think it is a problem with my machine, or my internet connection? My internet connection seems fine when I use other laptop or computer. I even tried browsing the web around 3 AM in the morning when the connections is fast, but the issue is persistent for web browsers (Safari and Chrome) and for App Store as well.
    I am using 13" rMBP, by the way.

    I can now observe the issue on websites that contain large graphics like Flickr. On another laptop (Windows), some websites are not loaded properly because of my internet connection. For my Mac, I think it would be best to test Safari and Chrome using a stable internet connection before asking for technical support just to rule out a possible cause of the problem. Also, some websites that I view, aside from the distorted images, contain codes (maybe HTML codes). This means that the web page is not loaded properly, right?
    My connection speed is 0.48 Mbps for download speed and 0.28 Mbps for upload. Is this too slow for Retina display?
    I bought my MacBook Pro during the first week of November and did not encounter any graphics issue until now. I used to browse the internet and the web images seems to be loaded properly.
    I do not encounter any graphics issues when using other non-web applications like Microsoft Office, Calendar, Photoshop, et al.

  • Script Error on web pages and email

    I have looked at your solutions and they don't seem to work for me so I will tell my story. I have a HP Photosmart Premium Model 309A print-scan-copy-fax working with Windows 7 and IE9. My Hp black cartridges stopped working and I replaced all of them with new HP. Still couldn't get the black to print anything but gray so i used the Hp doctor uninstalled and downloaded the  recommended driver and software. When I finished I printed a fax test and all seemed to be well until I tried to print a picture from an email. Got the script error:
    Line 2072, Char: 1, Error: unspecified, code: 0, URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
    Then I tried to print something from the web and got these two:
    URI: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/jspellEvolution/jspellEvolution.js
    URI: http://mail.yimg.com/zz/combo?/kx/ucs/common/js/131/jsonp-super-cached-min.js&kx/ucs/avatar/js/21/av... 
    I have worked all day trying to figure out what to do to make this thing print right but no luck. The printer is not quite 2 years old but if you can't help it will go on the junk heap.....so hope there is a solution out there!
    This is a 32 bit so I can't use that fix and it is debugged so that isn't the fix. What else?
    thanks for your input.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I'm betting that there is an error caught in the browser's cache that's causing it to fail for scripting errors. Click on the image of the gear under the red X in the upper right-hand corner of the window. Select Internet options from the list. On the General tab, under the Browsing History section, click on delete. Make sure that every check box is checked (you can leave passwords unchecked if you use IE to remember your passwords). Click Delete. Click OK to close the Internet Options window. Close the browser. Wait about 15 seconds. Open the browser and it should work better.

  • Web Agent and Clip Board set up for multi user environment

    Hi
    Our environment is
    Database: 0racle8.1.5 on Sun Solaris
    Currently we are not using OAS but a portal server and Apache
    Intermedia Web Agent and Clip Board are working fine.
    The questions are
    1. if there are multiple users (content managers) who would be adding /modifying content in the database, the how can I go about with Clip board.
    2.The requirement is these people should be able to search documents on the basis of keywords. So how do we integrate Intermedia query capabilities on this clip board interface.
    3. For production level how do we go about implementing.
    Should we continue to have the ctxsys user and use that itself.
    Thank you for any solutions

  • Web Chat and Email

    hi folks,
    I have EIM/WIM solution integrated with UCX 7.x. Where can i find all web chats and e-mails in EIM/WIM.
    Thanks

    You need to use the search functionality of the supervisor/agent. The chat transcripts will be stored in the case details which can be printed off. You can search for things based on date/agent name/queue etc etc. You can read the agent guides below which give you more details.

  • Mac seems slow to load  web pages and email since mavericks upgrade

    Since upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks on my iMac, web pages seem a lot slower to load on screen. Also, when I open my mail inbox, the mail content (wording) takes a long time before appearing on the right hand side, then followed a little later with the display content. I have synchronised all my mail accounts and also emptied my cache in the safari browser, but this has not resolved the problem.

    Go to Applications (you can do this by clicking on the desktop and hitting cmd-shift-A). Within the Utilities folder you should see a program called Terminal. Launch this program, which should just be a window that you can type into. Type the following (or just copy and paste into the window) and hit return:
         networksetup -setv6off Wi-fi
    Then go back to Network Preferences and verify that IPv6 is set to off. If that doesn't help, enter these two commands in succession:
         cd /Library/Preferences/
         sudo mv com.apple.security-common.plist ~/Desktop/
    Note that this moves a configuration file onto your desktop. If that doesn't fix things you may want to put it back:
         cd /Library/Preferences/
         sudo mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.security-common.plist .
    Good luck!
