Fan constantly runs when the computer is in use, as soon as I turn it on, the fan starts up, help?

Does anyone know what might cause the fan on my mac to run constantly? As soon as I turn it on and the unit is clearly not warm yet, the fan is going.

If your iMac has an Intel processor, reset the SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Apple says that should fix a fan that runs regardless of systems load. If that doesn't fix it, please post back.

Firefox constantly runs in the background even when closed

Hi
I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
I hope someone can help me please.
Rob

After talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started.

I have been dealing with crashing and freezing issues on my iMac for 6 months. A supervisor has been assisting me but the issue is not getting fixed. The computer was under when the issues started. He wants to get us a new computer but is not allowed.

Our iMac was under warranty when it began freezing and or crashing. I have spent several hours on the phone with a supervisor and had the machine in 2x. We have also had a repair done in our home. The problems persist. We feel apple owes us a new computer. Help!!!

Do you have a written record of your attempts to get it repaired? When you took the machine "in" for repairs, did you take it to an Apple Store or to an Apple Authorized Reseller or Repair Facility, and do you have copies of invoices or statements showing what repairs were made? If the answers are yes, you need to be persistent in attempting to get a new computer. Ask to talk to the supervisor's supervisor to "escalate" the complaint to a higher level. Get copies of all your repair information and send a letter to the Apple Customer Service people in California and ask them for help.
If your iMac was under warranty when the problems started and the problems have not been resolved, your position should be that the problems should still be fixed or the computer replaced even though the warranty may have expired in the interim. Do you live in the US? If yes, your home state has a Consumer Protection agency. File a complaint with them and ask for their assistance in mediating and/or resolving the matter.

Add code behind functionality that run when the user view the SP 2013 content pages

I need to add code behind functionality that run when the user view the SP 2013 content pages, What is the best approach to do that?
is it add Delegate Control to master page?
is it add code behind to master page?
is there an event reviver for that?
Your answer will be highly appreciated

Hi,
According to me, for code behind stuff
Create master page(using module etc..), have the required placeholders in it.
Then, create a page that inherit from this master page, now you can use that placeholder in you page.
Lastly, place web parts in that placeholder. So, code behind will come with that master page .
Hope it helps.
Thanks

How do I Initialize a button to be enabled when the program start and if pressed then disable and gray it until a certain action is taken then comeback to the enabled state?

Hi!!!
I'm doing a program with the following buttons: Run, Abort, Repeat and Exit. When the program starts from the first time only Run and Exit button will be enabled and not disabled so the user doesn't press the Abort and Repeat button. The user has to select from a menu bar the test he wants to make then if he presses the Run button a pop up window will come up asking for the serial number and his name, and will comeback to the main program with the entered information. The user now has to press the Run button again to start the test, when the test starts the Abort button now will be enable
d and not disabled, when the test ends the Repeat button will be enabled and disabled. If the user selects new test from the menu bar the whole process will come again. I'm having problems with the menu bar because it has a time-out and when that occurs the program gets crazy. Also I'm not sure about what mechanical action I have to use for the Run. Do I need to count the times the Run button is press so the 2nd time is pressed it will be disabled. Do I need to use a sequential and where I initialize the buttons so the first time they are like I want (Inside or OUtside the while loop that ends with the Exit button) Any help wil be appreciated.

I'm not sure about the menu bar because i've never used them..i tend to go for listboxes instead.
As for the buttons, if you want to wire the button to a local variable then the button must be a switch, otherwise a latch is ok. But remember you will probably need to reset the button at the end of a run (ie. wire a constant through the while loop to the local variable for the switch). To initialize the buttons at the start, wire constants to their locals outside the main execution while loop.
Put the disabling/enabling functions in the parts of the program the button has activated. For example, you say the 2nd time the Run button is pressed you run the 'test', enable the Abort button and want to disable the Run button - put these property nodes into th
e 'test' sequence/loop.
Sequences are useful to control when you want buttons to be modified. I use them if i cant sequence the order of execution any other way. But try and avoid using multiple frames as it can get confusing if you start hiding code.
If you are still having problems, post an example of your program in no higher than LV 6.0.2 and i will try and adapt it for you.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Initializing classes when the application starts?

Hi all,
I tried to figure this out myself but after loads of searching I found nothing, perhaps I haven't got the right search terms.
I have a web server written in Java with a BasePage class which is extended for each page in the application. What I would like to do is have each subclass automatically register itself with a static PageProcess class. The PageProcessor keeps a list of all registered pages, and can then check incoming requests against that list to decide which subclass should respond.
The problem is that constructors seem to only run when the class is first accessed, so the PageProcessor is never notified of these other pages. I used to have a hard-coded function that checked the requested url and then manually called a static boolean canHandle( String url ) function per-subclass, but as I get more pages this becomes a chore to update with more else if blocks.
Is there some kind of pattern or something I can apply to get this working? I'd like to avoid having a hard-coded list of pages to use in the application, but if that's the only real solution then I can go back to doing it that way.
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the reply. I had a look at doing that (via ClassLoader) as well as just checking for what .class files are present, this seems like a decent way of doing it. I had hoped that there would be a way to force the JVM to initialize classes right away rather than on first-access, but as it is I think the easiest solution will be to go back to having my static PageProcessor class have a list of all pages hard-coded.

Error NL-00051 when the listener starts up

Hi,
I'm getting an error when the listener starts up on my NT4 system. I have Oracl 8.0.4 running and for some reason I get:
NL-00051: internal error code, arguments: [302], [1], [], [], [], [], []
Does anybody know why this is happening. The listener no longer works and the DB's are out of use.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Executing a program when the server starts

I have developed a chat program and to run it I have type "java ChatManager".
Is there a way where this program can start automatically when I start the tomcat.
Regards,
Sharad

The chat application is a java file. I need to keep it running so that I can use it in my applet. The problem is after I start the tomcat, I have start the chat application and for this I open a new window and type "java ChatManager". Once this is done I can start using the chat applet. Is there a way, where the chat application starts automatically when the tomcat starts. Do I need to add something in the server.xml file for this.

After upgrading to 8.0 the add-on compatability tool runs and the Getting Started web page loads every time the browser starts.

After upgrading to 8.0 from 7.0.1 every time I start FF I get the add-on compatibility tool to run and the Getting Started web page loads along with my homepage in separate tabs as well. So far I have tried running the installer again, disabling all add-0ns and custom settings and restarting and turning off automatic updates. Nothing worked there. I got the same behavior each time. I don't know what else to try other than a full uninstall and reinstall. Something I'd like to avoid if it's possible because of the time involved. This is the second time I have posted regarding this issue. The first time I didn't get a response. A solution or a possible workaround would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows of any. As a staff member and a global forum moderator for an anti-virus company I understand how hectic things can be at times but some feedback, good or bad, on this issue would be very welcomed! Regards, Ritchie...

Hi michaell, thanks for the reply. I tried everything in the Preferences are not saved link you provided and nothing worked there. If creating a new profile will delete all my add-ons and custom settings I might as well just do a complete uninstall and reinstall. That actually would be easier. That article told me how to save my bookmarks though so I don't have to loose those which is nice. I don't know if this makes any difference but there is a discrepancy between the preference file in the article which is: prefs.js and what's showing on my PC which is: prefs with no .js suffix. I tried to rename the file to prefs.js and restarted. No luck there either. It just created another prefs file. I guess we've pretty much exhausted all the avenues to try! I'm just going to go ahead and do a reinstall when I get the time. Thanks so much for your help michaell. I do appreciate the effort. Regards, Ritchie...

I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop

I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So, sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop, the result is a black screen appears with no responding to anything from pressing the keyboard to pressing the touchpad. It takes few minutes for the laptop to open again and then a message appears saying that there was a problem with the lock security.
What is happening exactly?

It sounds like your sleep timers are set to too low of a value. Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set both timers to longer times. The computer sleep timer should be a longer time than the display sleep timer.

How can I set the audio conference to automatically start AS HOST when the meeting starts?

I can easily setup an audio conference for any meeting, and set that conference to start. However, there doesn't seem to be a way for the conference to start as the moderator (or, host) when the meeting starts. This means I still have to dial in to the conference with a land line or cell phone and enter my host code to get the audio conference started.
The only audio conference provider at my company is The Conferencing Center. I don't seem to have a TCC account. What do I do to get this working? It's nuts to have to use a land line just to get the audio going.

There are a number of integrated audio providers other than TCC, and those can be enabled in the Admin section of Connect. However, using the fully integrated bridge does still require that a Host/Leader be dialled in before audio will broadcast (or something other than hold music).
If you don't want to have to call in, I'd recommend that you use Universal Voice to tell Connect the dial in steps and give it the Host/Leader pin.Setting Up Universal Voice - Adobe Connect User Community.
The downside to this is that there will no longer be a dial out option for participants.
