Does the Powerbook really work with Leapard? Ever since I installed...

my fan is running NON STOP. And the computer is hot. I looked at the activity monitor and nothing seems out of whack (I am using firefox and word). I just ran into a friend who described the same problem after she upgraded. Should I be re-installing Tiger?
Thanks!

Leopard is more demanding of hardware resources than any earlier OS version. You should expect your machine to run hotter and/or the fan to run more and faster. If you can't stand the fan noise and the heat, you may indeed want to go back to Tiger. It's a better match for your machine than Leopard is, certainly.
Note, however, that if you have just installed Leopard, Spotlight may still be indexing your hard drive: a highly CPU- and disk-intensive process that generates a lot of heat. If that's going on now, wait until it finishes to get a better indication of what temps and fan operation will be like in normal usage.

  • Does the iPod Mini Work with Windows?

    I am thinking of buying an iPod mini but I don't have an Apple computer. Does the iPod mini work with Windows efficiently? Thanks....

    Hello Ian,
    Can you be really specific about the necessary Windows XP updates needed? I run XP Pro on a rather new computer and just got an IPOD mini. I'm ready to tear my hair out because iTunes seems to crash my computer every time I change one CD for another. iTunes runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. Also read on the board that iTunes 6.0 and the mini don't work well together. True or not true?
    Thanks - Genevieve

  • HT201335 does the Ipod touch work with the airplay mirroring

    Does the Ipod touch work with airplay mirroring?

    No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.

  • Does the new iPad work with adobe flash?

    Does the new Ipad work with a version of adobe flash?  I have read several articles, and I'm just more confused than when I started!  I'm a newer Mac user, and I'm interested in the new iPad, but I don't know if I want it if it doesn't support internet pages that use adobe flash.  Thanks for your help!!

    Adobe eliminated its "mobile Flash" department.  Android, Mobile Windows, IOS, WebOS ... everyone is out of luck.

  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • Does the bluetooth function work with the scanner function on my Photosmart C5550?

    I have a new Dell computer and an HP Photosmart C5550.  I use bluetooth to connect to the print. The printer function works correctly but the computer does not recognize the scanner function. Does the scanner function work with bluetooth?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry. I hit post before I could elaborate. Not sure what I was thinking. The Bluetooth connection will only support printing. To use the scan feature you will need to connect the printer using a USB or network connection. Hope that explains it a bit better.

  • Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

    Hi Forum,
    i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

    The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
    If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

  • Does the Apple Remote work with Keynote '08 to make presentations with?

    The subject pretty much asks the question, but I'll repeat it here again:
    Does the Apple Remote work with Keynote '08 to make presentations with?

    Although it does not provide the same abilities as a "professional" clicker it does do the job. For example your computer still has to be in front of you, or you need to be pointing at it. Steve Jobs does not use an Apple remote as his clicker, but as a easy solution, it does the job.

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.
