Display and Tower are hot the to touch

Now that Summer is upon us, I've noticed the temperatures of both my monitor and Tower are higher than usual. The actual internal temp of the G5 is 130 F, which I understand is around normal.
The display (20" Aluminum Apple Cinema) is physically too hot to touch sometimes. The back of the G5 is the same way. I guess if they are filtering out the heat and keeping the system cool I should be happy, but anyway to cool the case and/or display off? Frankly, its raising the temp of my office and I'm not quite ready to put the AC on. If not for the hot G5, I doubt I'd need to. Suggestions?

I agree, turn on that AC.
I have found the best room temperture is below 75ºF for the quietest, coolest running PowerMac G5/monitors. Actually for all my electronic toys.
Heat kills.
So even if it's just that one room, keep it cool.

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • Safari and Firefox are FREEZING the entire OS requiring hard reboot.

    Hello new user here.
    I have been working on a client computer:
    Dual 2.7 G5 Tower with 8GB Ram (early 2005), only mouse and keyboard plugged into USB port.
    Installed on new HD with clean install from Leopard 10.5.6 Install Disk. Updated to OS X 10.5.8, all apple updates and firmware updates applied.
    ASD for the system PASSED all tests and on multiple loops.
    MEMTEST Passed, no errors
    Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
    Temperature Calibration of the chips completed through ASD
    No dust in the case, no leaks detected, no evidence of leaks either.
    Through diagnostics and testing original components by using replacing with known good components show that the hardware is SOLID. All the tower components passed the Apple Diagnostics and tested as WORKING in other towers.
    Permissions Fix = completed
    Deleted the browser preferences, deleted caches, etc etc.
    The system is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
    So when I got to run Safari, it crashes within 1 minute and takes out the entire system with it. Firefox will do the same but in 5 minutes or so. Opera browser WORKS. (But that doesn't solve the problem of why Safari and Firefox are hosing the system.
    I also tried this on wired lan, and a wireless lan, and a USB data modem (AT&T), and changed MTU, etc etc etc. The network is SOLID.
    I am a 15 year experienced desktop IT tech working on PCs and MACs and I am completely stumped.
    I can duplicate it each and every time. Browsing on google, cnn, yahoo, will crash the system.
    Here is something odd too. I ran folding at home for > 48 hours on this machine and came back over the weekend and it was FINE. The second I started up a Safari, it crashed that a reboot was required to recover.
    Any ideas? Any help appreciated.

    Hi stantony1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Wow, great work so far!
    Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
    Hopefully way under, like under 60°C.?
    MEMTEST Passed, no errors
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.
    Memtest OS X...

    Rember is a freeware GUI for the memtest ...
    http://tech.kateva.org/2005/10/rember-freeware-memory-test-utility.html
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Does ȃfari crash it in Safe Mode???
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below.

  • Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

  • HT204053 My wife and I are using the same apple ID. since last week, i am required to pay twice for the same app on our 2 devices (even though we are using the same ID). what can I do to fix this?

    My wife and I are using the same apple ID. Up until last week we used to buy an app and pay for it only once, but use it on both devices.
    since last week, the app store asks me to pay again for an app i already paid for on one device. On both devices automatic downloads (in settings) is and was always turned off.
    what can I do to fix this?

    Actually no. After installing an app on one device, I used to see an "install" button on the second device (since it's already been paid for). Now i get the full price button on the second device. I didn't want to proceed with the purchase because i didn't want to be billed twice.

  • I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
    I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

    We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great.  We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
    I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct  midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think).  And I can import the files via Icloude.
    This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
    Dan Sweden

    Dan,
    your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID.  I don't think this will be feasable.
    The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes  on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
    See this link:  GarageBand for iPad: Get answers fast http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387
    Look at the section "Share GarageBand songs",

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

  • I keep getting an error code that my billing info doesnt match my card info.  I verified with my bank, the bank card, and my itunes account and all are exactly the same.  I need this crap fixed, how?

    I keep getting an error that my billing info for my card doesnt match my bank info, but it does.  Nothing has ever been changed.  I called my bank, the card company, and all are exactly the same, word for word as my billing info in iTunes.
    In fact, every time I get the error code that billing doesnt match, my card gets charged a $1.00 authorization fee.  It later falls off, but it shows my card is being billed when they say they cant verify billing info.
    I called Apple support and they want to charge me to get their crap together.
    I need to do some updates and by a couple apps for work and am about ready to go to ANdroid if I cant get it fixed.

    If you're in the US, this is usually caused by the simple fact that what the Postal Service shows as your address does not match what you're entering. Go here & see:

    My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch.  Any ideas?

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

    Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

  • What LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?

    Hi,
    Kindly let me know what LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?
    Akshitha.

    Hi akshitha,
    1. A logical database is in fact
    a program only.
    2. This LDB provides two main things :
    a) a pre-defined selection screen
    which handles all user inputs and validations
    b) pre defined set of data
    based upon the user selection.
    3. So we dont have to worry about from
    which tables to fetch data.
    4. Moreover, this LDB Program,
    handles all user-authorisations
    and is efficient in all respects.
    5. tcode is SLDB.
    1. To get a taste of it.
    2. create a new z program.
    3. while creating type PNP
    in logical database field.
    4. paste this code and execute.
    REPORT ABC.
    infotypes : 0001.
    TABLES : PERNR.
    GET PERNR.
    WRITE :/ PERNR-PERNR.
    5. The selection screen which u see
    is coming from logical database PNP program.
    6. Execute
    7. U will get a list of pernr.
    SAPDBPNP
    this is the main program of LDB PNP
    which does the main work.
    SAPDB + ldb name.
    regards,
    amit m.

  • HT5622 why i cannot download the application which is free? I make apple id and im trying to download but it show that i have to review my apple id and they are asking the account number. what i should do? please help.

    why i cannot download the application which is free? I make apple id and im trying to download but it show that i have to review my apple id and they are asking the account number. what should i do? please help.

    To use an Apple ID, in the iTunes/App store, requires a payment method be associated with your ID. That can be either a credit card, or if no credit card, you can redeem an iTunes gift card. So, do you have a payment method associated with your account?
