10.5.3 update -A possible solution for those who have hard spinning fans!!!

Hey people!
I've been diggin around the internet for a solution to this problem... I couldn't find anything at all till I started to mess with my macbook around... I tried to reindex the spotlight by deleting the previous indexed list of files with an app called "spotless" but nothing happened. I even tried to reset the SMC - system management controller - but still nothing happened... I tried some other things out but I had come out unsuccessful TILL... I remembered myself to try all this out in safe mode....
This was so far the strangest thing I've ever experienced on a mac... by entering in safe mode the fans just started to ramp down and my laptop returned to what it used to be! Just that - entering on safe mode! After entering and after listening to the fans loosing speed, I rebooted in normal mode and my laptop was healthy again!
To start up into safe mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
- Be sure the computer is shut down.
- Press the power button.
- Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
P.S. - if you get lucky with this procedure just reply me and spread the word!
Good luck!

Actually... it really solved the problem for me! My computer have sounded like a jet plane for the last couple of days. But I'm not sure if the only solution is to boot into safe mode. I recommend you to do like this:
1.) Remove the spotlight indexes and disable the service if you don't use it. You can use Spotless to do this. You find it here: http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/Spotless-Download-9834.html
2.) Reset the SMC. Om a MacBook, you turn the computer off and remove AC and the battery. Hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Insert the AC but NOT the battery and boot the computer. Shut it down and install the battery.
3.) After the SMC reset, boot the computer into safe mode by holding the shift key during boot up.
4.) Let the fans spin down in safe mode for a couple of minutes.
5.) Restart the computer into normal mode and the fans should now be spinning normally again!
This worked for me, but only in the order above!

    SOLUTION:
    Iam pointing t0 windows7 os.
    1) go to control panel
    2) open hardware and sound
    3) In that open Devices and printers
    4)In that u can find Apple Iphone.
    5) now right click on this --> Hardware --> Properties --> General --> Uninstall --> ok.
    6) now unplug and plug in ur iphone again.There u go u iphone name changes to its original name.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

    I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
    Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

  • Possible upgrade solution for people who have HD and problems in general.

    OK, for me, Leopard has been as painful as going osx from OS9, at least the upgrade has been , dunno about the retail copy., bugs, bugs, bugs with the upgrade for sure.
    Here is what happens generally., you upgrade and basically you need to run disk tools from a external drive or the Leopard DVD., the problems move on still.
    Solution i found was to back up to another drive, that is right guys, spend another hundred bucks no one warned you about., get a external HD or if your living it high and collect macs as Apple assumes you may just have a second Intel mac laying around with a Sata drive in it to start up in "Firewire Target Mode", (hold the "T" at start up)and start cloning your drive with SuperDuper (also need to purchase)..
    Ok
    1- once you clone your drive (usualy a hour for the base system alone).
    2- erase it as one partition,
    3- in the options make sure it is set as GUID partition (takes about a hour) and
    4- then as well zero out all the data., takes about 2 hours there as well.
    5- Now run disk utilities from the Leopard DVD or the computer or booted up drive you used to do all this., if you can not fix permission of th volume you seen to reformat the Drive again 7 pass!, could take 4 hours.
    Finally you will be able re clone it, and run disk tools after a days work no one warned you about.
    *This disk utilities operation may take about 1 hour but say 11, and look like this below;*

    *Good luck*
    *My ADVISE:* if you experienced these problems, as above, reformatting by zeroing out the data works. as for those who want Leopard. *DO NOT UPGRADE but install a RETAIL version of LEOPARD* until apple has a update,
    I read posts where people who have the retail copy (full DVD) have not experienced these problems, mine was a upgrade from Tiger since i got a mac in the last 30 days.
    WARNING: it has been hard to trust Apple fanatics with these things now days, many posts are denials to things not working so i could be wrong there as well, been honest saves time is all i can advise them.
    If anyone has beter advise please do post it.

  • Future Music good for those who have not yet learned all

    Future Music Magazine, which I get on the magazine rack at my WalMart, has some good stuff in November-December issues for those who need to learn more. I am talking about a two-part article, "The A to Z of digital music". or something like that. A through M is covered in the November issue. N through Z is planned for December. Topics A-Z are explained in a paragraph or more. EQ is covered for example. November also has a tutorial sort of thing on Reverb.
    Future Music has not always been so helpful. I did not find much in the October issue akin to what I have mentioned above.
    I think these two issues of Future Music will be quite helpful to me and perhaps to others among us also.
    LuckyMan

    Correction. Various topics, beginning with A through Z, are EACH explained in a paragraph or more. Sometimes there is a little essay on a topic. Good for newbies and sometimes good for non-newbies who must do not know it all yet.

  • Here's a possible solution for those w/Ellipsis 7 memory problems

    My husband is having the exact same problem with his Ellipsis 7 tablet that MANY of you have posted about: not enough app space memory. Meanwhile, I have the same tablet, purchased at the same time and place with NO PROBLEMS.
    After help from ANTHONY (amazing assistance) thru Verizon Tech Support, we found the difference in our tablets and a SOLUTION.
    CHECK YOUR TABLET'S SOFTWARE VERSION by:
    1. going to Settings,
    2. clicking on About Tablet, and
    3. scrolling down to Software Version.
    You want it to say MV7A_31D25_422A (my tablet) and NOT MV7A_31D26_422 (my husband's).
    My husband's tablet is going back for his software to be reconfigured to match mine. I understand your frustration and truly hope this solves your problem as well.

    I spent 6 hours trying to get itunes to recognize my
    nano the first time and none of the "troubleshooting"
    tips worked. I was getting the message "the software
    to connect with your ipod is not installed properly"
    when I'd try to connect my nano. Windows was
    recognizing it, but iTunes wasn't. Here's how I
    solved the problem.
    1. click on the start button in the lower left
    corner.
    2. select Settings and click Control Panel
    3. select Administrative Tools (you may need to
    switch to "Classic Look", located on the left hand
    side if you're using XP before you can see the
    Administrative Tools folder)
    4. select Services
    5. scroll down the list of services on the right hand
    side of the Services window and look for iPodService
    6. look across the iPodService for the Startup Type
    column (it should will say either Automatic, Manual,
    or Disabled)
    7. double-click on whatever it has listed for
    iPodService under Startup Type (it will probably have
    Manual, or Disabled)
    8. a pop-up window will appear, under the General tab
    in the middle of the window will be a drop-down
    window, select Automatic
    9. click Apply
    You should be good, to go from here. It worked for
    me. I recommend re-starting your computer, but it
    might not be necessary. After I switched iPodService
    to Automatic I haven't had a lick of trouble
    connecting my Nano.
    I hope this helps.

  • Possible solution for those suffering from poor battery life - data dropouts etc...

    I was having the same bizarre data dropouts - an FDR and cache wipe with no app/data/settings restore fixed it for me, yes it IS a pain in the rear - YES it will take a couple hours if you have a ton of apps and accounts - YES it IS worth it, phone is working as it should now!
    Cache Wipe:
    Press and hold the Power button and turn the phone off.
    When the screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power.
    When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
    Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
    When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
    Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
    Select “Reboot system now.”
    Before doing the FDR do this:
    Menu-->System Settings-->Privacy-->under the Backup & Restore items clear the Automatic Restore checkbox.
    ***NOTE*** By doing this you will lose everything on the phone and internal storage(NOT on the microSD) - you will have to manually reinstall all apps, setup all accounts etc...it take awhile to do but it has solved 99% of the issues I was having: dragginess, dropped 4G, poor battery life etc...
    Factory Data Reset
    From the screen of your phone, press the Menu button
    Tap System Settings.
    Scroll down and tap Privacy       
    Tap Factory Data Reset
    Check Erase internal storage if you would like to erase all the data on the phone internal storage such as applications, music, movies or photos.
    Tap Reset Phone

  • Possible solution for those of us who can't pause our purchased songs

    Well, a bunch of us can't play songs purchased from the iTMS store. One workaround i found is to use this program called "HYMN" (http://www.hymn-project.org/) which will strip the protection from the song and allow you to play it. However, it doesn't work if you're using iTunes 6.0. seems a little drastic, but believe it or not, we want to be able to listen to the songs we buy.

    Interesting my n75 syncs with Missing Sync. But my friends does not and it won't pair with the Mac running Leopard as well. Sounds just like the firmware issue that the n73 has.
    My n75 has firmware V 10.2.055 connects and syncs to Leopard
    My friend has firmware V 20.1.172 connects to Tiger, does not connect to Leopard.

  • Solution for those who tired of Mail crashes

    Switch to Entourage - I am using MS Office 2004 one. Despite all the reputation of Microsoft this application JUST WORKS with my many IMAP Gmail, .Mac accounts without crash, and does what it should.
    Personally, I am out of all 'fancy' features from Mail 3.0 for the moment and wait until Apple has a fix, because nothing worked in my case, even Apple support could not help.
    Good luck.

    I'm glad you found a suitable solution to your problem. I've used Entourage for years and recently switched over to Mail because it has more integrated functionality with iCal and my iPhone. I've never had any issues with Mail so far.

  • A SOLUTION for those who want to organise their TV SHOWS properly!

    Hi folks;
    I posted this in "Using iTunes for Windows" as well.
    Finally found a simple, and yes, EASY way to get your self-burned TV shows (from your DVD collection) into iTunes WITH the proper info(ie: season, show, title, description, network, etc...)
    A simple program called "TV TAGGER".
    Basically, it's a GUI for Atomic Parsley so you don't have to learn another language to do this stuff. It's got all the spaces for you to fill in the show info you want.
    It only works for TV SHOWS though...
    Here's the link:
    http://69.117.40.60:3000/atomicgui/
    Basically, all you have to do is open TVTagger, go to 'file' and open all the episodes for the show you want to classify and fill in the blanks for each episode. Once you're done, either hit 'apply' under 'tab' OR, (to make it faster), hit 'apply all' under 'file'. It will make a new copy of the TV Show in the same folder as the original with a slightly different title (adds some stuff). Delete the original and you've got TV Shows with the proper tags.
    Then open iTunes, remove all the TV Shows from it (NOT deleting the original files) and re-open the TV Shows. This time, the shows will be classified in the TV SHOWS tab and will show the season and all that jazz.
    I know, it sounds bigger than I meant it to, but it's really easy...
    Good luck!

    you could ask your school for premissions to see

  • For those who have installed a new hard drive...

    Like many of my fellow Mac-Heads, I am running out of storage spae on my little G4 12-inch. I have the 80G Fujitsu and would like to upgrade for more space. There are some 120G notbook drives on sale right now, and my scenario would go something like this:
    1. Get the 120G Samsung ATA drive
    2. Buy an eclosure to make the new drive an external drive
    3. Run Disk Utility and copy my 80G drive contents onto the new 120G in the enclosure
    4. Follow the online steps and intall the new 120G drive into the drive bay in my little G4 12-inch (looks fun and do-able!)
    5. Run this configuration for a while, maybe a few weeks, and make sure it is all kosher with the new 120G drive inside.
    Once complete, this would give me a new 120G internal drive and a whole 80G drive of external storage.
    Problem is, I am not sure that it would work. You see, the 80G drive is partitioned and do not know how this would affect my swap.
    Has anyone tried this, and what effects, if any, would I incur in the trade? How would the formatting of the new 120G drive be affected, aside from the usual "loss" of a few Gigs in the formatting process? Would it end up only being able to see the size of the original drive? (I am technically competent in the physical swap so that is not an issue.)

    I did this about a year ago, but I went from 40 to 80gb. I pulled the 40 out and installed the 80. I put the 40 into a firewire enclosure. I installed a fresh copy of 10.4 onto my new 80gb. And then I transfered all the files I needed from the 40 to the 80 - i.e. back onto my powerbook.
    I was lucky in that I went from 5400rpm to 7200rpm and my little revision A 12" seemed zippy again. - till I crammed it full again within 6 months. The real solution is to have a honkin' external hd to keep the really big files on.
    Of course, I backed up the 40 on a separate 40gb external before I began.
    Haven't looked back and I now have a small 40gb "rescue" disk.
