10.5.3 update - GPU runs hotter

Ran the combo updater on my Alu iMac Core Duo and everything went well -- took only 5 minutes from start to end. No problems since - apart from a couple of small things: my iStat readout tells me that my GPU temps have increased by around 4-5 degrees. GPU, GPU Diode and GPU Heatsink were previously never higher than 52 degrees but they now run at 55, 56 and 56 degrees respectively. Presumably this is because 10.5.3 changes the graphics routines somehow but I hope it won't get any hotter (not that I know how hot is too hot but the fans on this wonderfully quiet iMac have never come on in 6 months and I'd like to keep it that way).
The only other thing I've noticed is this Console message:
31/05/2008 14:43:22 System Preferences[498] Preference bundle "/System/Library/PreferencePanes/PrintAndFax.prefPane" is missing identifier
This was before and after repairing permissions. Anyone know if it's something to worry about? I can print ok, which is a good sign... TIA

Well, I do not know about your specific problem, but I have learned from these forums about OS updates that I should always:
1.) Note from Software Update that there is a new OS version update, but do NOT download or install from Software Update.
2.) Download the COMBO version of the update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
3.) Using Disk Utility, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
4.) Run the OS version upgrade from the downloaded Combo version.
5.) Restart the computer
6.) Using Disk Utility again, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
Since you have a Permissions issue on the iCal file. the above routine might solve your problem.
BTW, I have solved problems using that routine even after running an OS version update from Software Update. Running the Combo update on top of the Software Update (incremental) version seems to fix some things that the incremental might have missed; but the key is running Repair Permissions and Disk Repair (if needed) before and after running the Combo update.
Hope this helps. (jk)

  • Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

    I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
    Has anybody else seen this problem?
    Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

    Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
    My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
    Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
    Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
    So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

  • Running Hotter after 10.5.3 update?

    I have a MBP 2.5ghz and it's been running hotter (the bottom) after I did the update for 10.5.3. I've restarted the machine thinking that the systems may clear the cache or some other process was making it run hotter. But it's consistently running hotter now than it did when 10.5.2. Anyone experiencing this also on their MBP 2.5ghz?

    This is what I worked out...
    I was using Fan Control before I upgraded so I uninstalled it by following the instructions here: Fan control then I downloaded an re-installed the app from the same address, and now she's purring again - Woo!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

  • System running hotter on 10.10.3

    Has anyone else noticed their systems running hotter than usual after updating to 10.10.3? I noticed it immediately after the update about a week or so ago, and there has been no change since. I've also installed the supplemental update, BTW.
    I'm on a 2014 Retina MacBook Pro. I've noticed that Heatsink B and the memory are reporting about 5-10ºC warmer than usual, and the CPU is about 5-7ºC warmer. The fans are regularly audible. I haven't changed how I use the computer. I've also checked Activity Monitor and nothing looks out of the ordinary.

    Try a SMC reset:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
    Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES. Spotlight may be reindexing the Mac.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook runs hotte?!?!??!

    after installing some new utilities for the aluminum macbook 13 (2.4Ghz), it runs hotter than before, I think those new utilities are those you can find in 10.5.7, but I didnt install the full 10.5.7 version, anyone has the same problem?
    Thanks!

    No problem on my Al MacBook after the update. Also, I think you're mixing terminology here. You can't install only part of the 10.5.7 update unless you tried to "hack" the installer (i.e. what do you mean by "I didnt install the full 10.5.7 version?"). There was an update for the Safari application, but that's not the same as the 10.5.7 update since it was for Leopard, Tiger, and Windows. Then there was the beta release of Safari 4.0, but there YMMV (it's a beta after all). However, if you were running the Safari 4.0 beta _before_ you installed 10.5.7 then you definitely should update to the latest version of the beta.

  • My Mac wont let me download anything, even software updates. it runs the whole download then restarts but tells me an error has occurred

    My Mac wont let me download anything, even software updates. it runs the whole download then restarts but tells me an error has occurred.
    Please help! Nothing will download and i have a loading bar on start up!!!
    The mac hasn't ever given me any problems, it has been since plugging my new iphone 4s into it,
    As i havent had internet at my home for quite some time i dont know whether the fact the iphone was at a much newer version than the mac it confused itself????? help me please!?

    Hi there,
    If you go to the Apple equivalent of: Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (sorry am a mere PC user )
    If there is a file titled iphone1,22.1_5F136Restore then try deleting it and then running iTunes without your iPhone attached.
    Go to the menu and select Help/Software Updates which should then notify you that there are updates and allow you to download them in advance of restoring.
    Hopefully this will download the update. Once completed attach the iPhone and restore.
    Hopefully this might sort your issue out.
    Ciao

  • TableView - How to update a running balance column after any other column in the view is re-sorted

    To keep this simple and to illustrate a problem that I am trying to solve let's say we have
    a domain class that contains an income per day.
    This class has two persistent properties - populated from a database table - date and income.
    And there is one transient property - running balance - that shows the accumulated income
    starting from the first record. This property is not persisted and it is used only to show
    the running/accumulated income in a table view.
    This domain object is shown in a table view with three columns:
         - date
         - income
         - running balance
    The first two columns - date and income - are sortable. When the user clicks on the column
    heading these can will be sorted in ascending or descending order. The running balance
    column needs to reflect this change and be correctly updated.
    So the question is : how would you implement the running balance update after the data in
    the table has been updated by the user?
    Take 1)
    =============
    The obvious approach is to use "setOnSort" method to consume the SortEvent event and re-sort the
    data but the sort-event does not contain any useful information that would tell from which column
    the sort event originated.
    Take 2)
    =============
    Found a possible solution:
         - TableView.getSortOrder() returns a list that defines the order in which TableColumn instances are sorted after the user clicked one or more column headings.
         - TableColumn.getSortType() returns the sort type - ascending/descending.
         - This info can be used in the TableView.setOnSort() event handler to re-sort the data and update the balance at the same time.
    Take 3)
    =============
    When the TableView.setOnSort() event handler is called the data is already sorted therefore the only thing that needs to be done is to update the running balance.

    I  think I understand what you're trying to do. If I've missed it, apologies, but I think this will provide you with something you can work from anyway.
    I would listen to the data instead of watching specifically for sorting. This will be much more robust if you add new functionality later (such as adding and removing rows, editing the data that's there, etc).
    Specifically, for the runningBalance column, create a cellValueFactory that provides a DoubleBinding; this binding should listen for changes to the data and compute the value by running through the table's items up to the point of the item for which it's displaying the value. (Hope you can untangle that sentence.)
    Example. The important part is the cellValueFactory for the cumulativeAmountCol. I guess I should mention that you shouldn't try this exact approach with very large tables as the performance might be pretty bad (computations of the order of n x m on changing data, where n is the number of rows in the table and m is the number of visible rows in the table).

    In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • Safari quits -- blank page for 3 seconds after apple update -- cannot run

    I have a G-4 version 10.4.7. This apple runs good -- but, yesterday I received a standard update files from apple and did an update -- afterwards, my "safari" stopped running.
    Safari will open up for about 3 seconds and disappear. The template is there for about 3 seconds and doesn't allow me to type in anything in the search area. This all happened after a routine up-date from apple (not sure if this is the cause or not).
    Any ideas on how to get the sarafi up and running again? States "application quit unexpectedly.: mac os x and othe applications are not affected. click reopen -- then happens all over again. Any simple ways to solve this?

    Hello Nantucket Whaler, Welcome to Discussions
    ( a distance from the Gray Lady ; )
    Did you do permissions repair with the disk utility before and after the install do you follow these guidelines for installing os updates:
    1. Backup your data. If unsure what is the best method of backing up your data to keep it safe, be sure to start your own topic here and many posters will be glad to find the best method for your needs.
    2. Turn off Energy Saver and any automatic software updating mechanism from Quicktime, to Software Update, to third party updates.
    3. Dismount (if a data storage peripheral) and disconnect third party peripherals.
    4. Verify all your software including drivers for third party devices are known to work with the update in question, or needs the update.
    If it does not need the update to run stop right here, and keep on using the version of the operating system you are running.
    5. Do not update if your system is slow or unhealthy. Troubleshoot any system issues you may have with fonts, cache, or preferences before updating.

  • Lion running hotter on MacBook Air

    Just installed Lion on my MacAir and it is the first time I've ever heard the internal fan run.
    Is it me or is Lion using more resources which causes the computer to run hotter?

    The activity monitor it's okk, the only program using CPU above 2% is Chrome when I browse. With the time, the CPU goes hot (80º C) and kernal_task have more than 100%.
    I has unmount the Air, cleaned fan... the fan function it's perfect. In other post I read the problem is in Lion x64 and it's run x86 the problem dissappear. I testing this now.

  • Camera Raw Update Error "Another instance of Updater is running" CS5

    Hey, tried to open Raw files in cs5 today on a Rebel t3i I just got. Recieved error saying I needed to update raw plugin, knew it was gonna have to be done eventually. Been using a 50D for a long time without a problem.
    When I go to update the plugin I immediately get the error stating another instance of the updater is running. Can't be true. Nothing in task manager, restarted program and computer, no other users on this computer...what the hell?
    Live chat was useless, any ideas here?
    Edit: Also just tried to install ACR 6.4 since that's the minimum requirement for this new camera...same error!

    Thanks for updating the forum; hopefully someone else may benefit from your findings.
    I can't imagine how you connected that Hotfix with the Adobe updater issue - the two seem in totally different realms.  However you did it, good job!

    I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.
