Cool Down Options for New 27" imac i5

Ok, so the i5 gets pretty hot after some heave use and my CPU fan speeds up to keep things cool. My question is what is better to do for cooling down after heavy use?
+1. Put the computer to sleep, no fan running.+
Or
+2. Shut down all apps, let the fan run and let the computer do its thing. Going from screen saver 5min.- display sleep 15min.- then to full sleep 45min.+
Cuzz with option 2, the fans have time to run to cool the computer down and then go to sleep. But with option 1 it just sleeps and natural cools over time.
What would be better practice to do? and i am sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and could not find anything. Just shut down v.s. sleep.

Hi Oc Bro
None of the above, I would keep working or playing..... Just because a fan or fans kick up there is no reason to stop what you are doing, the iMac should continue to cool or maintain a safe temperature even if you continue to use it.
However #2 if I was done using it, except that I would only Sleep the Display (no Screen Saver) for a short time prior to Auto Sleeping the Computer.

  • Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?

    Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window > extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?
    I need to open an extension I have downloaded and added to the Adobe Extension Manager CC but the extension option on the window drop down is not present.

    SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.

  • Why no RAID options for new disks?

    Hi support group,
    "My name is Shaun, and I am a mac-aholic"
    I inserted 4 new 3TB disks into the bays of my Mac Pro (2012), and there is no RAID option for them.
    How I got here:
    Inserted the WD Red drives, and they were not initiated.
    I "erased" the drives, gave them names, and they appear in Disk Utility in grey drives. 
    Went to set up the RAID, and move the drives into the RAID, but got an error that they could not be used.
    It appears to me that disk utility is not allowing me to fully use those drives. I Have created RAID drives before with no issue in RAID1 with 3TB drives before on this machine. Am perplexed, I thought this to be the easy and simple part of my upgrade odyssey! Did I screw up the initialization? On all FOUR drives?
    Now, if I click on the drives, the RAID option does not present itself.
    FWIW, I am using OS X 10.9.5, on Mac Pro 5,1. I boot from PCIe card. My end goal is to create a 4-disk RAID 10 using the four SATA connections on the MP.

    It was really pretty simple based on your feedback, I powered down, removed the drives from the SATA backplane, moved each drive separately to the USB enclosure, then re-"erased" in OSX-Etended.  I ejected each drive when finished, and moved to the next one until all four were re-"erased".  Then I restarted the Mac with all four in the SATA connections, and all four were visible and had the RAID option tab.  I created the three RAID schemes (two stripe and one mirror), and dragged the drives into the RAID option.  Then I hit "create" or some other command to finish the RAID.
    Note that I did get an error on the RAID creation.  From memory, this was "cannot create RAID without an unmounted disk" or something like that.  I cleared the error, and then opened back up Disk Utility.  All the RAIDs were listed, and were operational with the green "On" signal.  I could read/write/transfer from the RAID.  Once I transfer the data to this RAID, I will work on a way to test it, but if any risk to the data, I might just leave well enough alone.
    For now, it seems I have a fully functional RAID 1+0 using the four HDD on the SATA connections in my Mac Pro 5,1.

  • Displayport video input support for new 27" iMac

    Does anyone know if the new 27" iMac just released today has support for displayport video input like the previous generation 27" iMac does? Please tell me you haven't taken this awesome feature away in the midst of the change to Thunderbolt ports etc! I'm asking because in the previous gen iMac specs it clearly states that displayport video input is supported but it doesn't mention it in the tech specs section of the new iMac.
    Could someone from Apple please let me know? Thanks.
    Mike

    I am tempted to go out and buy a new HDMI to mini-displayport adapter and connect it to a new iMac at the Apple store to see for myself........
    I'd hold up on that.  I don't see a mini displayport on the new iMac.  Looks like it goes through the Thunderbolt interface.  Scroll down to connectors.

  • Office Web Apps - How do I get Excel and PowerPoint to show up as options for New Documents?

    When I highlight a list of documents, a ribbon shows up at the top.  The left most action is "New Document".  Despite running and installing Excel and PowerPoint services, the only option that shows up is Word.  How do I add Excel and PowerPoint to that list?
    I have confirmed that I am able to upload, view and edit Excel and PowerPoint.  I just cannot find a way to add them as options in New Document.

    Create Content Types, same as in 2007.
    In a nutshell... Create a content type based on Document and add a PowerPoint template. Go to the library and enable Content Types in Advanced. Add the new content type to the library's list of content types. The New button will now contain the name of this new content type.
    Repeat for Excel.

  • External Fiber Channel Raid options for New Xserve besides Promise V-Trak

    I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is an alternate option for a External Raid that can be hooked up via 4gb Fiber Channel to my new Xserve. I am really looking for a more cost efficient one than the 12K Promise set up from Apple. My Technology vendor was telling me that you have to use the Promise Raid as it is the only one that a Xserve will control due to Apple's licensing of its drivers etc. for its Fiber channel. Something tells me that this is not true.
    Anyone have any recomendations for a Fiber channel Raid solution in the 6K dollar range?
    thanks,
    Dan

    Find another vendor. Anyone that tells you the Promise is the only RAID that will work clearly doesn't understand the market.
    As for recommendations, you need to include some idea of capacity, either usable or raw. I can find you a lot of options for $6K if you want a 100GB of data. Not so many if you want 100TB.

  • Custom Configuration options for new U430

    I would like to buy U430 laptop, but I don't see how I can configure options like CPU, Memory Size etc...
    I just have an option to select a model and no way to customize it.  Here is the page I go to:
    http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/u-series/u430-touch
    I tried several other types like YOGA, but don't see any configuration options also.
    Am I missing something, or you can't build Custom Lenovo Laptop any more?

    Hello mag20, welcome to this forum.
         Yes, you can build a Custom Lenovo Laptop. However, you need to call, or chat on line, with the sales team. The website has some customization options for their ThinkPads, which you can do on line. For example, see the T440s page:
    http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t440s/
          If you want a U430 Touch, it would be better to know what possible options are available in that system, before you call, or chat. The best way to know this, is to read the part list, in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM). Here is the HMM for the U430 Touch:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_u330p_u330%20touch_u430p_u430%20touch_hmm.pdf
         Page down to Table 5, Parts List - Overall, on page 69. Part No. 4 is the RAM, 6 is the processor, 7 is the hard drive, 10 is the SSD, 12 is the WLAN.
         Be aware, that not all options, are congruent with some of the other options, that you may want. i.e. I don't think you can have both a hard drive, and a 256 GB SSD, but I don't know. You probably can get the drive, and a 24GB NGFF SSD, as that goes in a different slot. That's why you need to chat/talk with a sales rep.
          Keep in mind that if you custom order a Laptop, it may be more expensive than "standard on line model", but the reps have a certain amount of latitude, and you can still get a good "deal" .
         You may need to wait a little longer for it to be built, and shipped. The upside of this process is, you get the laptop you really want, with the configuration you need! 
         Happy shopping!
    Cheers

  • Options for new MacBook Pro 17"

    I am considering upgrading to the new MacBook Pro. However, I hate the standard look and feel of the system compared to my current (all aluminum) MBP. In comparison, the system looks cheap and tacky.
    Worse, the black glass monitor has so much glare in a side-by-side comparison to my current display, that it can be an eye strain to use. Can that glass front-plate be removed or an older style display be ordered?
    The black keyboard also has a horrid cheap keyboard feel compared to my current MBP keyboard. Can the black plastic keys be replaced with the older style aluminum keys?
    I really like the power and battery of the new system, but Apple appears to have -- for the first time in years -- taken a major step backwards in the usability and human factors of this new system compared to the one previous MBP model. I am greatly disappointed and VERY torn as to whether I should spend my money to get a more powerful, but much less usable system. If I could replace the display and keyboard with the older style, the upgrade would be a no-brainer.
    So, are there any options available as to style of display and keyboard?
    THANKS!
    Jon K

    ' Whew! ... Er... Okay... Let me address your two primary and more specific concerns first:
    ' Regarding the screen: You're in luck - there is a Built-to-Order option for an "anti-glare" display which essentially gives you basically the same panel as the standard model, but ends up looking almost IDENTICAL to the previous (older) model aesthetically. In other words you get the aluminium bevel, no glass panel in front, and a matte-screen.
    ' The keyboard is another matter... As another poster mentioned there is no possible way for that to be changed due to the manner of construction. It is, however, really a non-issue to almost everyone that's spent some time with it! I've worked on the previous model's keyboard and honestly the newer keyboard is far more responsive and better for touch-typing die to the key-seperation etc. etc. Additionally, while it may take time to acclimatise, I honestly believe you'll come to prefer it aesthetically as well - the contrast to the rest of the box - all the aluminium - is quite pleasant! Methinks this is just a case of you being used to the system you've been using and struggling with the different look.
    ' Now... Moving on... I have to ask whether or not you've actually spent any time working with the new systems...? Honestly, while the older models were sturdy and had good build-quality etc. I genuinly feel that you can't compare the two - the Unibody MBPs are a cut-above - and one can feel it almost immediately once you actually work with them - opening and closing the clamshell, moving the system about, typing, adding and removing peripherals - the quality and sturdiness of these systems is unrivaled!
    ' Seriously - unless you have some strange attachment to the old Firewire 400 port (and assuming you get the anti-glare option considering your comments) - I cannot see you possibly being dissapointed with the Unibody 17-incher once you acclimatise!!!
    ' Anyways. My thoughts - given by an EXTREMELY picky person with ridiculously high standards.
    ' Looking forward to hearing back from ya!

  • Change dedicated meeting space options for new Lync Meetings

    Is there a way to change the dedicated meeting space option to change "These people don't have to wait in the lobby" to Anyone?  I know we can run set-csmeetingconfiguration on the global object, but this seems to change only new meeting
    spaces not the dedicated meeting space? 
    Please remember, if you see a post that helped you please click "Vote As Helpful" and if it answered your question please click "Mark As Answer".
    SWC Unified Communications

    Per my understanding, the purpose of dedicated meeting space keeps the same ID and permissions. Content, such as PowerPoint presentations or other files remain in the meeting until you delete them. It is option for informal meetings with
    coworkers, which lets them sign in at any time with presenter permissions. There is no way to apply the option "These people don't have to wait in the lobby” for the dedicated meeting space. It’s by design.

  • Is there no external power option for new MacBook pro with dual core?

    Is there no external power option for a MacBook pro 17 with dual core. Apparently apple doesn't offer one and I can't ind any who does

    Courcoul wrote:
    Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
    The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
    made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
    I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
    What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.
