A speculative "solution" to the heat (bear with me)

So, some MBP users have been in a rather "heated" (oh man, sorry) discussion over a completely ridiculous solution to their heat problems. Individuals have been claiming a reduction of idle temp and max temp by 4-6 degrees celsius.
Reset your PMU. That's it. (Remove battery & power supply, hold down power for 5~10 seconds.)
Now I'm all for trying anything. So I did it with my MB to see what happened. My previous idle temperature was 61 to 63. After resetting my PMU, my idle temperature dropped to 53 to 54 degrees. (Idle to me is listening to iTunes, just to clarify) Being rational and skeptical, I decided to run the obligatory pair of dev/nulls to blast the CPU to 100% for 10 minutes. I peaked at 80. And after the fans had their way, it planed out at 78. Now this is a lot better than my previous 84 to 90. Just to be sure, I checked the data flowing to Core Duo and iStat just to make sure they were the same.
I'm still not convinced, so someone else step up to the plate and try this. Please don't post if you don't plan on subjecting your MB to a peak temperature load.
Please, someone else give this a try, I've had my MB for over a month, and it's just been a little to warm for my comfort. Even if this is a procedure that has to be repeated every day, I'll take it until a firmware revision is released.

Practical solution for the Heat problem?

Dear fellow Mac users,
I got my MacBook last friday. Yes, it's very Hot (temperature). I realised that you guys must be facing the same problem. I love this computer. But the heat is too much, i can't put it on my lap to work, when i travel...
Even typing on the keyboard for a long time in the library, i feel the heat coming out from the keyboard! so fustrating..
Are they any practical solution on how to reduce the heat? I dont want to dismantle the machine.
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the recommendation of the pad. I guess it
will deplete the battery life quicker.
I am wonder, the heat problem, is it a APPLE's fault?
No, as Guitaristguy313 stated, the heat problem exist in most (or all?) Core Duo laptops, whether they are Apple branded or Sony branded or Dell branded. The MacBook is not running warmer than another Core Duo based laptop.
So it's apparently the normal operating temperature of Core Duo laptops.
That's not too surprising considering that Intel document its Core Duo to be in normal operating temperature if the cores of the CPU don't run higher than 100°C, and 100°C is a very high temperature.
Hopefully MacBooks Core Duo's cores generally don't run higher than 85°C, but while within specs according to Intel, it's still very high so it's not surprising that the notebook shell temperature is high also (according to a test on a website, the shell can reach 50°C when the Macbook is used intensively).
So if you really want to have a culprit for the high temperature of the Macbook (and in fact also other Core Duo notebooks), it would be Intel.

A possible solution to the MIDI problem with Audition 5.5

Hi, all.
In searching for other answers to my Audition 5.5 questions, I've been seeing lots of complaints on these forums about the lack of MIDI compatibility with this version. If you have an external MIDI sequencer, I offer a solution that you might find useful.
Go into Audition's Edit > Preferences and change the time display from minutes and seconds to bars and beats
Specify the time signature to the closest beat value of your song (exampe: if you're using both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, go with 4/4)
Set the tempo to match your song
Lay down a full length click track with at least a 4 measure click intro
Insert the same length click intro into every track (which, when working with previously sequenced tracks, is just a matter starting the machine in sequence-record mode with the metronome on, counting the appriopriate beats and turning it back off just before the song starts)
Mute all but the track you intend to record
Record each instrument track to its own file, save and open a multi-track session
Position the first beat of the click track far enough into the session to preclude needing to trim intros (you can trim the silence out with the click intro after mixdown)
Zoom in until a single click fits perfectly under the time indicator line
Drag or snap all the other tracks underneath it so that the first click of each track lines up
I use lots of instruments with slow attack (such as strings), or tracks where the instrument might only be in a few measures, so the 4+ measures of click intro are particularly useful.
Pretty low-tech, but quick and painless nonetheless. It suits my purposes, though I'd love to know if someone has a better method. Thanks for reading.

The other problem is that, even among the "music creation" market, there can be big differences in the perceived importance of MIDI.
I'm not a musician myself but have worked closely with two very different composers. One of them does practically everything in MIDI (using Sonar) then tends to hand me the files to work with in Audition (after conversion to wave format). Some tracks are left in the form they came but others are replaced with live "real" instruments.
The other person is much more traditional. He plays more instruments than I can count and I help him by recording as he lays down drums, guitars, bass, brass, etc. etc. He owns a lot of keyboards but, even with these, he sends me line out and uses the actual keyboard sounds rather than laying down MIDI data.
So, if you asked these two how important it would be to have MIDI functionality, you'd get two very different answers. From some of the recording forums I frequent, I get the impression that my friends are a microcosm of the whole market . Some use MIDI a lot while others prefer the feel and sound of recording live instruments. (And, I'm sure, others inhabit a middle ground.)
True dat. Up until about a year or so ago, I didn't use MIDI, and so Audition was for me music production software par excellence. Then about a year ago, I started getting into MIDI, and now I'm not only using MIDI for creating keyboard-based tracks for overdubs, I'm actually writing songs using MIDI (whereas before songwriting almost always involved a guitar). MIDI has become huge for me, in other words. And whether I go to sites like Studio Central and read Tweakhead's guide to homerecording in which he tells people that modern music-making either involves MIDI or is MIDI-based, or whether I read articles in Sound on Sound magazine which constantly reference MIDI in their articles, have regular features about sample librairies that use MIDI, or look at the countless ads touting MIDI keyboards and controllers, it's clear that MIDI is as much a part of modern recording as guitars and mics. Before, I never used to get what Steve was on about when he'd say that Audition isn't music production software, because I had produced five albums of stuff using either CEP or Audition. Now, I understand what he means when he says that. When he says Audition isn't a music production software, he means 'Audition doesn't have MIDI'. However, the truth of the matter is that Audition is a wonderful music production software if you don't use MIDI, and a partial music production software if you do. You know, I've tried out other softwares - Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio (ha!) - and none of them come close to Audition for me. Sure, I can get by using Reaper for MIDI, but knowing how Audition does things, I know that I'd be happier doing it inside Audition. Hence, the continued lobbying. I want the best.

Any solutions to the connection problems with AE yet!????

For quite a while now my computer has been dropping the internet connection and then finding it again CONSTANTLY. I have been trying to play counter strike on Bootcamp, and UT2004 on the mac side or even pokerstars, and everytime I play every minute or so the game loses internet connection or somthing for about 10 seconds and then it comes back and I continue playing until it happens again, and again, and again. Its driving me nuts. My computer is located pretty close to the airport, and there is no interference like phones or microwaves as well as no neighbors accessing the connection. I have also tried reverting to AE version 5.5.1. 802.11g Also i have tried changing the settings on the airport to 802.11g and the other one I can't remember which one but nether of those helped the problem whatsoever. If anyone could help me with this problem they would surely be my GOD! Oh and if it makes a difference I'm on a Intel Mac 2.0ghz.

Sean4258,
Since the AirPort Extreme base station is itself a router, it is likely that what you're calling a "router" is actually a modem. Since you're also describing a coaxial cable entering your home and screwing into the back of the modem, it appears that you have cable service rather than dsl service, and therefore, the modem is a cable modem.
It is important to you to determine what other ports are on that cable modem. Is there an ethernet port on the modem? If so, is there more than one? If more than one it may not be a cable modem, but a dsl modem. If you in fact have cable service and the modem is a cable modem, it's most likely that there is no more than one ethernet port on the cable modem.
It is also important to you to determine if you have an AirPort Extreme base station or an AirPort Express base station. There are two ethernet ports on the Extreme, which is round, 6.5" across and 3" high, and sort of space ship looking, but there is only one ethernet port on the much smaller Express which is only 3" x 3.5" x 1" in size. Besides the ethernet port, the only other port on the Express is a USB port and next to it an audio jack.
Your particular complaint probably originates from a less than optimal connection due to using a USB cable from the modem to the AirPort base station. This was NOT a good idea, and will forever make your game playing extremely unsatisfying. Your goal should be to replace the USB cable between the modem and the AirPort base station with an ethernet cable.
If it should turn out that your modem has NO ethernet port, but only a USB port, you'll need to get your service provider to replace the USB modem with a modem that has an ethernet port. If the modem was not provided by the service provider, that may present a problem of an extra expense in that it will need to be replaced by the correct type unit.
If the modem is a cable modem and has one ethernet port, get an ethernet cable of the appropriate length to reach as far as to the AirPort base station and plug it into the cable modem's ethernet port and into the AirPort Extreme's WAN port, which is the port designated by a circle of eight dots.
If it turns out that you have an AirPort Express instead of the larger Extreme, connect the ethernet cable to the lone ethernet port. Of course, remove the USB cable from both the modem and the AirPort.
If you also have a wireless printer, there will be no problem. However, if your printer is not wireless and needs to be wired, use the USB cable between the printer and the AirPort Express.
Everything should then work great!

Has anyone found a solution to the login problem with Lion?

I upgrade my 27" iMac Quad-core last week to Lion and everything was fine. I shutdown after a software upgrade and now I can't log in. Of course, Apple support is closed. I tried a number of the solutions on this site to no avail. Has anyone found a solution? *** has apple done to my system?

Don't know if my problem is same as yours..after Lion install, frozen cursor in password field when logging in after starting up, beach ball. Couple of trips to Apple store, a number of phone calls to troubleshoot with Applecare. The last fellow who helped me found a workaround, just can't log in. He said engineers have reports of others with this problem so it's not just my machine but fix would probably come in software update. Been dealing with this since first week of Lion download. Hopefully they'll fix it eventually. I can use macbook now, but don't like not being able to have a screen login via password. No plans to ever again download a new op system on a mac...had no trouble installing win7 on older dell from vista.

Similar problem... same card, on other linuxs works perfect with connections at 600m/s in wireless... on Arch only 50m/s.
I've tried blacklisting drivers, the rt2800pci, etc... nothing solves the problem, any suggestion?

Has there been any solution to the stuttering HD with netflix?

Due to the rumored heat problems with the iPad 3, is there a danger in using a leather case design for it.

I recently purchased a 64 GB Verizon LTE iPad, along with a Bear Motion leather case designed specifically for that model. I've been reading a lot about the heat problems with the new iPad and although I haven't noticed them on mine, I'm worried that putting it in the case may cause worse problems. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Unless you have a defective iPad you should be fine. The only time it should be heating up is when you're running an intensive app like a game that's working the quad-core processor and the screen. I bought a Targus leather case for mine and play InfinityBlade2 on it and haven't noticed any heating issues with mine, but the part holding the iPad is plastic, so it can disipate heat better.
If your iPad gets too hot it'll warn you, so I'd use it for now and see what happens. It'll shut down before it causes any permanent damage.

I'm not techinal so please bear with me. I don't have the bar that allows me to type in a website. I did have a few minutes ago. When I make the page full screen and move my cursor to the top of the page, the bar drops down and I can use it. help

Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!

All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

Is it possible to do something about the heat generation of the phone when using 3G? I would like to know if the new iOS is going to deal with that issue.

It is a disapointing regarding the heating issue when using the 3G

Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud. Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

Try a new SIM from your carrier. If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.
Don Wilson

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
