Why can't Apple just turn up the **** fans?

We all agree that the macbook pro is an incredibly toasty little computer. Not a laptop - a notebook....
When I run the CPU at full throttle my MBP gets cooler because the fans start. So, even though the CPU is running at 73C, the upper surface temperature is just warm, not hot. When the CPU is at 63C, the fans are running at low rpms and the surface temperature is bordering on hot.
Apple, we NEED the fans to cool this beast. If Apple could just lower the threshold for the fans the MPBs would run much cooler. Or maybe all they need to do is up the rpms since the fans seem to be going all the time anyway.
Isn't this the easiest solution for them?

You know, I just ran the ** outta my comp with two HD quicktime movies in a loop, itunes with visualizer on, two "yes" test going. Both my processers were maxed out, and my comp was still running at 77F and I ran it for 25mins and after all that time, only my left fan had kicked on....the only thing that really got any hotter was my HDD, but i think thats because i was pulling so much info off it at once.
-Sean
Oh, I might also want to add that I had no abnormal sounds coming out of my MBP! So I have to say that I got a "good one". And I couldnt be happier. Im sorry that your having problems, but hopefully apple will fix them sooner rather than later.

  • Why can't Apple Just put "generation" on the device?

    You would think a company that is so famous for user friendliness would have figured out by now they could use that fancy laser etching they use to write "Made in China" and the Serial #, etc, to just write the "generation" directly on the device along with serial number etc. I'm trying to buy a case as a gift for a non-techie grade schooler. I don't have physical access to the device and it is a bit much to try to get the kid or the even less techie mom to determine the device's "generation". Apple themselves have had to write a convoluted guide to determining it and virtually every accessory is specified in terms of what generation is for.

    What should work is to:
    - Enter the serial number here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    - Enter the model number (engraved on back) in a Google search. Sometimes this results in confusion between a 2G and 3G iPod but those use the same case.

  • Why can't Apple just make iPod touches customizable like jailbroken ones (of course without free apps and stuff like that)

    I think that apple should make their ios devices customizable like a jailbroken one. For an example, users could be able to change themes, or change what kind of passcode they have.

    Yes, this is a very wide debate, but there are many reasons why apple doesn't do that aswell. Apple does its best to match the ios to its hardware and you can only have that many features on your device before it crashes down. Jail broken devices currently use cydia, and that a very open source that lets nearly anyone post a lot of things that could be bad for your device, if apple had some sort of built in software like that, they would have to fix every problem that comes up which would cost the way too much money. That's why jail breaking your device voids it's warranty.

  • When you create a folder in your Files, why can't we just select all the assets and print or download?

    I was collaborating for the first time with a client and thought that, if she uploaded photos to the folder I shared/collaborated with her, that I could just select them all at once and download. Not the case. I feel this needs to be updated and perfected more.

    "But what's the reason to seperate diffrent regions from one and another,"
    Like most all companies, Apple does not annunce their reasons.  With all of the information, regulation, demands from the content providers, governments,etc - Apple has decided to run their business this way.  Discussion of their decisions and policies is not permitted here - this is spelled out in the terms of use that you agreed to when signing up for this forum.
    " and how can apple prove that you have created a fake adress?"
    Form the terms of use of the itunes store:
    "You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
    "I think that they could easely fix this."
    There is nothing to fix.  This is the way they intended it to be, for whatever reasons.  They have much more information than you do and have made their decisions based on that information.

  • Why can't Apple just leave things that work alone

    I just had to ask this. I'm doing a clean install of 10.6 Server as a tester and of course what was simple is now a pain in the butt. Something as simple as DNS is now back to the way 10.5.0 was. I thought this stuff was fixed and wouldn't happen again. Apple needs to decide if it going to do server software or not and stop half assing it.

    According to the documentation 10.6 Server auto configures the DNS service for you. I like to set this up myself. It doesn't create a primary zone like in the past. When you change settings it breaks and won't launch Server Admin. When you change it via cli it doesn't seem to hold. So I reinstalled and unplugged my ethernet cable from the network and I was able to do it my way. After that it seems to be ok. Forward and reverse lookups is good.

  • TS2948 This isan example of cheap plastic being use to support a constantly used hinge.  Why can't Apple just acknowledge it?

    Very frustrating to spend the premium investment in Apple products then to be told a perfectly good product is " out of warranty to repair.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • Why can't Apple let go of the old designs?

    Apple is a very innovative company,  Why do we not see innovation in their websites and interfaces?

  • Why can't I just go to the next page?

    Every time I want to go to the next page of a document in iBooks, the page just flicks back! I always have to swipe twice to make it go to the next page and this is especially annoying since I play piano and use it for sheet music.

    have you tried completely closing out of iBooks? from the Home screen: double tap the Home button, once the taskbar appears hold down the iBooks icon until it jiggles, press the red icon in the corner to close iBooks. now launch iBooks and see if the issue is resolved.

  • HT201472 Why can't Apple turn on the Find My iPhone feature if it's been stolen?

    A friend of mine's house was robbed this morning. They lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of belongings, including a new ipad 4. They have icloud on the device... and had the Find My iPhone app on other devices, but not the new ipad. In extreme cases, why can't Apple remotely turn on the Find My iPhone feature? If they could find the ipad it could lead them to the people who stole everything else from them.

    The suggestions has, more or less, been implemented in iOS 7: with iOS 7, you can make stolen devices unusable, and still display a text that might allow them to be recovered. See, for instance, http://www.imore.com/ios-7-preview-activation-lock-aims-keep-out-crooks

  • Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

    I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
    What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

    Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
    If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

  • ***? Why can't I just re subscribe to my magazine?

    This seems so lame? Why can't apple just let me purchase using any of my Apple IDs?
    I wouldn't have had two if I didn't sign up for the lame MobileMe. I also would have understood all of this had they explained when I purchased anything on the iPad that chose to use my other apple ID as a default. Where did that come from?
    Now I can't even pretend to buy for the first time using the other apple ID.
    This is driving me crazy.
    I did try to contact apple thru the email support. It didn't work.
    I tried to change my ID, but it keeps going back to the other ID.
    Please, someone help.

    If you don't see a Subscriptions section, then you have not purchased any subscriptions using that Apple ID.
    To change the Apple ID that you are using in the App Store app, open the app to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then tap again and sign in with the other Apple ID. You will be informed that for the next 90 days this is the only Apple ID that can be used on this device in the App Store. After you have signed in with this other Apple ID, follow the instructions to view the account so that you can maintain the subscriptions.

  • Stolen - Why can't apple track?

    My one-month old ipod nano was stolen out of my house yesterday. While I am extremely bummed that it is gone, I was somewhat comforted knowing that whoever swiped it couldn't use it since I registered it. But now I discover that the whole registration thing is a crock! It doesn't protect me from theft (not sure it ever claimed it did but I thought it was some sort of safety mechanism).
    At the very least why can't Apple just set up a system where if someone reports a stolen ipod, they flag the serial number, and if it is used they will give the information to the police?
    I'm pretty upset right now but that does not at all seem unreasonable to me and actually, I was telling a co-worker about it this morning and she also has an ipod and she thought the whole registration thing would prevent someone else from using it as well.

    Your refrigerator can fit in a thief's pocket, eh?
    I had my car broken into 3 days ago and lost a 60GB Vid iPod. Well hidden away, but connected to a Harman/Kardon Drive + Play.
    In Australia, I have notified Apple (ph: 133 MAC) and they have flagged the iPod as stolen. They also took the Police Report case no. If this iPod goes in for a service, battery replacement, etc... it will sound alarms (figuratively) and the cops & I will be notified.
    The bad news is I have to wait for this event to happen (if ever).
    Although US constitutional laws prevent covert tracking of these devices (something about protecting the 'civil liberties' of thieves), these laws do not apply in Australia, so why can't a flagged serial number and IP address be forwarded to local authorites? We have the technology, gentlemen, and email is free.
    This would have to be an excellent iPod theft deterrent (win for me) and would free up some server space on this board that seems to be quickly filling up with threads titled "Stolen iPod" (win for you).

  • HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

    Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is?  This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs.  Why has it been removed?  If it is in a different place, where is it?

    Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

  • Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

    I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
    The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
    So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP

    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.
