Fan always working, trying to find out why
Hello everybody. My MacBook Pro has been recently behaving strange in regards to its fan. It is always working, often on really high speed. The monitor doesn't really show any extreme process CPU activity except kernel_task from time to time or safari "Web-Inhalt" (not sure what this is in English). Here is my recent EtreCheck. Maybe someone could take a fast look at this for any culprits that might trigger the fan. Thanks a bunch!

Can someone give me an update to the failed Face Time ?
No know knows why or when it'll be fixed (cept maybe for Apple and they're not talking)
It has been down since last weekend. I know that there was an app update for those using desktops or laptops, and iOS users are advised to update their iOS to teh latest (7.1.1) however some have done that and still report facetime failures.
ALl folks can really do is wait and see. Either it'll fix itself or Apple will come out with something about it. -
Why does the side bar not automatically show up when you first download apple iTunes? Really really bad design. It took 20 min to fine the setting that enable the side bar. ***? I could not access my iPod for 20 freakin min! Just show the **** side bar always! Maybe apple is too big and is starting to lose common sense.
Because Apple update iTunes to do it that way. Apple has not said why.

Do you have a pending payment that is still due? It could be anything from incorrect billing address or expired car. Make sure your billing information matches the card exactly. Click on your apple I'd in the app store and the bottom. View your account and look over your billing information.

Typical - what on earth am I doing at this page and why was I sent here
Now I get a message saying there is an error and my content could not be saved
What is wrong with you people?
How can you make such a simple operation so complicated that it is festooned with error messages
LEARN THE MEANING OF FOOLPROOF YOU IMBICILESUnfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library. -
How to find out why my MBP will always try to shut down after 1 hour
Dear all,
this is a question too complicated for me to answer; I have previously tried to solve this problem in a usenet forum (comp.sys.mac.system) - but we didn't get it solved there, and I finally gave up on it. However, it still persists, and it is so annoying that I want to try another approach on it this time using the Apple Discussions Forum.
The problem is as follows: my relatively new (bought in december '09) MacBook Pro 13" (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) has a problem: always when I leave it untouched for one hour, something within the system would try to make the computer shut down (system halt). Please note right that this seems NOT to be a hardware-related issue (al least not simply a bad mother-board or sth. similar - there are a lot of threads about MacBooks that seem to shut down immediately, like fainting - this is not the case here). Instead, the system behaves like anytime when a user-requested shut down is invoked - for example, the running applications would check if any changes should be saved, and ask questions. The only thing is: I did not request a system shut down, and even more: I do not WANT the system to shut down. In fact, this whole problem is extremely annoying, since it constantly messes up my open documents (e.g. the TextMate workspace I usually set up, or similar things), forcing me to reestablish my workspace at least once a day. Over time, this can be very annoying for a computer that's used for work!!
During the course of my earlier discussions in the forum, we tried to find out what makes the computer go down - looking through the system log files etc. - but to no avail: we couldn't trace back the event that has caused the system to invoke the shut down procedure. However, it seems that this issue is related to the Mac operating system, and not the hardware - and this is why I ask this question here (and not in the MacBook Pro section). It may be that we simply didn't look in the right place - or not with the right tools - and I hope that there may be some people here with some new ideas how to trace the reason for this procedure. Everything I can tell now with some certainty (and I couldn't do it before in the usenet forum) is that the shutdown seems to be invoked about one hour after the system has been left untouched by a user (no key strokes, no mouse movements); I know this because I use my Mac for a wake up call now - and, since I sometimes need more than an hour for that, I can tell that this problem causes iTunes to quit one hour after the Mac has booted (which makes my wake-up music to switch off... and some of the running applications with no changes to save).
It would be very important for me to solve and remove this annoying problem, and I think that this really shouldn't happen! Needless to say, I haven't set the energy savings settings such that the system would shut down after one hour (in fact, I have set the system to always stay on when attached to a power supply); still, the problem prevails.
Does anyone of You specialists have a good clue or smart suggestion where (or probably how) else to look to find out what causes the shutdown? Thanks a lot for taking the time and considering this annoying problem!
Best,
BjörnYes - it is a bit frightening... Had other Macs before this MacBook (Pro), and never experienced such a problem. Don't know - of course I look into the Preference settings from time to time, and maybe I have changed that setting on the other computers... it never occurred to me...
What an annoyance such a simple decision to make the auto-shutdown after one hour a default can be! Probably, Apple reconsiders :-D I'd rather prefer an auto-lock of the account (instead of an auto-log off)... but I believe it has been expressed often enough that, in this particular case, the - pardon me - Windows-solution (to offer a simple lock of the account, the Windows-L-key combination, IIRC) is much more practical... to copy that behaviour under Mac OS X, You'd have to go through lengths...
Anyway! Pondind, thank You very much!!! Solved a kind of embarassing, but huge problem of mine!
Best,
Björn -

You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

I am trying to find out if my old Airport Express can be upgraded from WEP to WPA2? If so, does anyone know how to do this? I have a new PC for work reasons and I cannot get online with my WEP password. I realize now this is why my family and friends who bring PC's into the house cannot connect - I need WPA2 for PC, and besides, I should upgrade anyway as this is more secure than WEP. Thanks for any help!

Can't find out why my DB is that big
I've got a database which is 260 GB in size. Since I know the application behind the DB, I know the DB should never be that big. Even more, one night I noticed that the DB has increased 30 GB where no obviously activity in the application happened.
The database has multiple tables, but only one of them has the big size of ~260 GB (checked trough Object Explorer Details and by various TSQL-queries). So I know the table for sure, but not the reason of the size of it. It's actual not possible the data
inside it needs the storage, because the table has only 120'000 rows and only 17 columns. Non of the columns are LOBs, there are only datatypes of uniqueidentifier, int, varchar, nvarchar and datetime. Even when I take the max of 8 KB for a row and multiplicate
it by 120'000 rows, the database should be smaler than 1 GB.
I already raised suspiction the index or the statistic could be that big as some queries a had run results a Index-size of 220 GB. Other queries on the other hand results a small index.
However, meanwhile I've dropped that Index (moreover, the Primary Key behind it) and also dropped the statistics. There is no index at all at moment (I will recreate the PK_Index after the size issue is solved). I tried to shrink the database several
times, but I doesn't work. The size remains 260 GB. Yesterday I run the sp_clean_db_file_free_space which took 6 hours (!) but also doesen't decrease the database file. At moment I run the sp_clean_db_free_space SP, but I don't believe this will help me.
So my questions are:
* How to find out why the database is that big?
* How to decrease it?
Has somebody an idea? Thanks...What is database recovery model? If it is full can backup the db then backup the log and then issue DBCC SHRINKFILE to reduce the physical size fo the log file.
What does it return?

db.name AS DatabaseName,

SUM(CASE WHEN af.groupid = 0 THEN 8192.0E * af.size / 1048576.0E ELSE 0 END) AS LogSize,
SUM(8192.0E * af.size / 1048576.0E) AS TotalSize

Hi all,
Observing the below error in event logs once in every day at 3:30 AM on the on SQL Server Machine, it is being used for TFS 2010.
The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
Kindly advice me here on what to do?
Thanks in advanceFirst thing to check is, what is happening at 3:30am to cause the log to fill up? Is there any maintenance tasks being run against the DB, such as index re-organizations or rebuilds? If so, take a look at what the job is doing, maybe it could
be tuned (ex: A Maintenance Plan with a rebuild indexes task will rebuild *every* index whether it needs it or not. Look at using something that checks how fragmented an index is, and then intelligently determines what, if anything, to do to that
index.)
Basically, the error is telling you that SQL is trying to do something in the DB, and has filled up the log (either because it's not getting backed up often enough, or the transaction in question is running *very* long, or your log is set to not auto-grow)
So, a couple possible solutions:
Increase the frequency of Transaction Log backups of WSS_Content (only works if the DB is in Full Recovery)
If you've got the disk space, turn on auto-growth for the TLog (or just manually grow it larger) {This will work for both Full and Simple Recovery}
It would be nice to know what's causing the space to not be re-used, but with this occuring at 3:30am, you'll either need to set up an Agent job to run around that time and record its results, or manually run something like "select log_reuse_wait_desc from
sys.databases where name = 'WSS_Content';" Me, I prefer to be soundly sleeping at 3:30am and would set up an Agent job to run from say about 3:00am to 3:45am once per minute (maybe even more frequently.)
DON'T shrink the log, though. SQL will idealy grow the log as large as it needs it (if autogrowth is enabled) and no more. If you shrink the file, SQL will just have to re-grow it later again, which can affect performance.
