Can you hear the fans on iMac? (my new 2011 27'' i5 fans are constantly audible even from a distance)

I have the 2011 27'' Imac i5 and I can hear the fans all the time as of start. It's not super strong but clearly audible even from distance. istat shows normal fan speeds (1100/1300/1000 respectively) . The noise bothers me a lot especially in a silent room. The fans start to be audible immediately after switching on and get higher (+temperature rises significantly) under any easy activity .. like streaming a video from net.
Can you hear the fans on yours at all?

Do a SMC reset (maybe do it 2-3x) and if the problem persists as you have been advised call AppleCare.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

No, unfortunately.
You have to use the proper power adopter.
Best.

On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me. When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them.
Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know what causes this issue? I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones. I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly. Major fail, Apple. For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
MICROPHONE
I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

Please Apple. Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update. I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver. Not sure why you would even want to do that.
It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls. After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus. Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc. You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw. Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance. Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families. Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).
Anyway, you get my point. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it. I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

Can You Hear the Difference?

Seriously. I can hear the difference between 16 bit and 24 bit and 44.1 and 48kHz. I recorded the same acoustic guitar part through a Line6 PodXT Pro this evening at 96kHz and 48kHz, both at 24 bit - I can't hear it. I can crank it and of course I lose the objectivity (but it sounds good) and at low volumes I'm not hearing the voodoo that makes 96kHz so 'magical'.
When I record in 192kHz I get a Core Audio Overload. Go figure. But seriously, am I alone here or is this level of hearing for mastering engineers supreme? What do you record at, and if it's 96kHz or more, do you just pass it on at that rate to your mastering guys?

Hi The Black Room.
Here's the "skinny" in high sample rates,et al...:
1.Anyone CAN tell the difference between low and high sample rates.that is not difficult at all.The catch is that if you have source material that does NOT have frequencies above 22kHz (the limit of 44.1kHz sample rate recording) then you will absolutely not hear any difference at a higher sample rate.Why? Because there is no more information there,it is identical.
2.You have to be VERY careful when attempting to do listening tests.The first consideration to look at,is your MONITORING equipment.If you have equipment that is NOT capable of reproducing high frequencies,and I mean frequencies above 20kHz,there is NO POINT in playing back anything above 20kHz,because the reproduction equipment will NOT play it back.This includes mixers,amplifiers,speakers,monitor routing boxes,et al.
So,my friend,if you REALLY want to listen to differences in sample rates,you will have to make some effort in doing one of two things:
1.Go to a professional studio that has equipment capable of reproducing high frequencies.
OR
2.Purchase some test equipment such as a signal frequency generator that does output frequencies ABOVE 22kHz,plus an oscilloscope that can also "see" frequencies above 22kHz.also,you will need a sound source that is KNOWN to contain more than 22kHz of info.Your Logic Pro internal oscillator will not be good enough,and forget CDs.You will need to make a fresh recording of an acoustic instrument such as piano,violin,or the like.to do this,you will NEED a microphone capable of passing through it's circuitry Freqs. above 22kHz. (Neumanns can) and also a mic preamplifier capable of passing thru above 22kHz as well.Neve preamps can do this.
Electric guitars is a no-no,as they rarely go much above 15kHz.Acoustic guitar,maybe...the upper harmonics on an acoustic "might" show up,if they are loud enough.
Cheers

How can you get CMD + L to open a new window, when all windows are closed?

In Firefox 28 and earlier, you could hit Apple + L (CMD + L) when no FF windows were open, and it would pull up a blank page with the cursor blinking in the address bar.
After installing FF 29, when you hit CMD + L (with no windows open) it just plays the system alert sound and does nothing.
I want to be able to hit CMD + TAB to gain control of an idle Firefox, and then be able to hit CMD + L to gain control of a BLANK address bar.
Every other version of Firefox I've ever used did this, so am I missing something here? Any ideas?
Note: I realize that you can hit CMD + N to launch a new window and then CMD + L to select the text within the address bar. I'm not looking to re-train my habits within Firefox, but simply want that feature like it was in the previous 28 versions.

Well, after an entire week without a word from Mozilla, I officially give up.
I understand that new software will have bugs when it is released. I understand that the bugs are fixed in the order of greatest impact/priority. I also understand that my issue is not a bug, rather a feature that was inexplicably removed.
A couple of things I cannot understand —
Why would Mozilla remove '''ANY''' features from their software when they are touting this as the most customizable web browser ever? That is obviously not logical and will be to their detriment in the long run.
Furthermore, if a person did get on here just to complain about this update, they were immediately met with a canned response from a moderator, which offered a few options to make Firefox '''LOOK''' like the previous version. That speaks volumes about this update and the developers' confidence in it. The person who gets on here with a legitimate problem asking why a feature was removed — they get '''NO''' response from a moderator. Again, this speaks volumes. I am not even asking for an immediate solution to this problem, just the acknowledgement that there is a problem. On top of that, especially in the development of software, the old adage particularly rings its truest — ''If it ain't broke, don't fix it.''
Lastly, I think we can all agree that Firefox 29 is a blatant ripoff of Google Chrome. If I wanted Google Chrome, that is exactly what I would have downloaded. That pains me not only as a devout Firefox user for nearly 10 years, but especially as I have donated over $200 to the Mozilla Foundation in that time. In other words, I have financially supported the development of a software that has become absolutely indifferent to its users' needs, and moreover, they have now resorted to copying off of their neighbor.
I have since rolled back versions — all the way to Netscape Navigator 9 — which seems to have just about as much functionality as the bungled mess that is Firefox 29.
I genuinely appreciate all of the time and effort that goes in to creating open-source software, and I financially support the projects that I feel adhere to the open-source philosophy. That said, Mozilla.org seems to be straying away from this philosophy, to the point where, for me, it is simply time for a change.
Thanks for the memories, Firefox!

How can you get the unknown previous owners on iPhone 5 Apple ID account be removed old device from Find iPhone ?

After recent update 7.0.3 iPhone 5 started activation after I put in sim and did not accept sim bc of Apple ID of previous owner was still on the iPhone and can't activate it without the previous owner removing the account from find my iPhone .

No, you first use common sense then you put it in a company IT policy document. So you are saying that you cannot create an Apple ID for each individual, because it is a hassle? So I guess it is also a hassle to create company email accounts because there are many people "coming and going"?
Have the IT department create an Apple ID for each user with a "temporary" password. Then the user can change it. Once the emplyee leaves, he turns in his phone and gives the password to IT so they can deactivate his Activation lock and reset the phone. Or do what razmee209 has suggested.
I guess the above might be a problem in your company where it is apparent that people are getting run over by buses all of the time and dying every hour.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. I don't know what 'H series' is, but assuming that it's a TV series then you can try requesting it via this page, but ultimately it's the TV company that will have to provide it and grant Apple a license to sell it in your country : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Can you put the small DVD discs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

Stupid question...can you put the small DVDs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

That could be a challenge. If I am not mistaken that camera strictly records to DVD - RW and has no digital output connectors, is that right?
My only experience with a camera like that was a bad one. I was able to get the video off the disc using a tray-loading iMac but it was painfully slow.
iMovie (for example) is designed to work with camcorders such as those specified in this reference:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
I cannot find the DCR-DVD92 in that database
You might consider finding an external USB slot-loading DVD drive, but as I say my experience was painfully slow, and you might run into file format compatibility challenges.
I am sure it's possible but it won't be as easy as importing video from something like an iPad or iPhone. I still use a camcorder on occasion but it has a FireWire port. That's easy.

All of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything.

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

Can you adjust the tint on the built-in isight camera on an iMac?

Can you adjust the tint on the built-in isight camera on an iMac? It is curently too red on my iMac.

The iSight has no mechanical parts. The iSight will adjust to the light by changing the sensitivity of the sensor's receptors. It is possible to manipulate the picture with software routines and simulate slow shutter speed. For photography look [here|http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview>.
