Fan Control Software for iMac G5

do you know any software that makes me able to control the fans of my imac. I want to change the speed of my fans.

You can control the fan speed to a certain extent by going to system prefs>energy saver>options>processor perfromance and selecting "reduced". This should slow your fan speed down, but I am not aware of any software program that will contriol your fans speed. It wouldn't be a good idea anyway to interfere with the settings the machine selects for itself, the iMac is very sensitive to heat and shouldn't have fan hacks.

  • Fan Control Software

    I am trying to install the new version of SMC Fancontrol on my Intel Santa Rosa MBP. When i try installing it tells me that there can be no other fan control software running. My question is how do I turn off the existing software, and/or what am I doing wrong. I want to be able to turn up the fans whenever I need to do model and image rendering.
    Thanks a lot.

    It should do that automatically depending on how hot it gets.
    If it doesn't do this run a hardware test to see if there are fan or sensor problems.
    As for the SMC fancontrol problem, no clue, maybe email the developer.

  • Is there a FREE Parental Controls software for Mac?

    Does anyone know of a free parental controls software for Mac? I have OS 10.3.9 and don't want to (or need to) get 10.4 +. Thus I can't run safari 2.0 or later and I want to have parental controls. I suspect it's out there but I can't seem to find it. TIA all.

    For Tiger, Workgroup Manager (part of the free Tiger Server Admin Tools) offers greatly expanded account management options than what the built-in Parental Controls offers. OS X Server is not required; it works great on the regular OS X.
    There was a version for Panther too, but I never tried it, so I don't know if it will do what you need. But the screen shot on the download page suggests that it might. You might want to download it yourself and try it out:

    You might also try asking your question in the "OS X 10.3 and earlier" forum here in the discussions. This forum is for Tiger only.

  • Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version

    Hi,
    Just curious to know when Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version will be released. If already released, can you post the link?
    Regards,

    In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

    That can be found using the self-help portal: http://otn.oracle.com -> Products : Enterprise Management (left edge menu). In the 'Product Focus' area, you will notice 'Application Management' which will lead you to the appropriate data sheets and supporting information.

    Hi
    Toshiba does not provide special too for the fan controlling.

    This utility controls the settings for CPU processing speed, cooling method, screen brightness, etc
    Maybe its a option for you

  • It is should be installed an antivirus software for iMac product?

    Hi dear Apple..
    I would like to ask about an antivirus software for iMac product. It is should be installed for virus protection, for example Kaspersky Antivirus?
    Thanks..

    OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • Reasonably priced animation software for iMac

    I am retired and while not at all well off, I am appreciative of being in the position of not having to earn money any more. 
    I am currently absorbed in putting together several generations of family photos, movies and keepsakes in as interesting and historically as possible, using iMovie.  Unfortunately, iMovie is ok for fairly mundane taskes, If you can overcome it's restrictive/protective baises and malfunctions.
    Anyway, I am looking for a reasonably priced animation software to use as a general purpose interfacer for movies and stills and explanations were necessary.
    I have spent hours searching and testing softwares but found most lacking in facilities of one sort or another. Enough to make them not worth taking up room on my computer. I have deliberately avoided high end stuff costing many hundreds of £/$.  Especially Adobe. I find their software very difficult to even get started with. 
    Xara exteem pro 5 was my first choice but their animation software will not run on a Mach and in any case you cannot convert their Pro 5 animations to anything usefull format so I am stuck and pleeding for help.
    Can anyone recommend a animation software for iMac with broard facilities, similar to Xara Extreme Pro 5.   up to, say $200 ?

    What kind of animation do you want to do? 
    For animated humans is Poser Pro quite nice:

  • Parental Control Software for mac

    I recently downloaded if2k for macintosh as a parental software. It works great, but now I cannot successfully download quotes on my Quicken software.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this or if not, does anyone know of a good parental control software for Macintosh? I realize that Safari has one but we home school and cannot seem to keep up with the list of websites we would have to add to the toolbar to work it successfully.

    Hi Doublemann,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Create another User Account for each member of the family. You can create also one named "Family", "Team", etc, and one "Home School".
    Keep only two admin accounts, and all children accounts managed, or standard with your parental control software enabled.
    That way your children's limited accounts do not mix with your admin accounts.
    Use Quicken on your own account, not on the Home School one.

  • Wireless network management software for iMac?

    Hello all
    I am running a home WLAN via a cable modem + Belkin N Wireless Router, with my Intel iMAc wired to the router, and 3 PC's with wireless connections.
    All running perfectly!
    However - I would like to be able to control the network from the Mac, specifically as follows:
    - have visibility of all machines connected at any time
    - have visibility of the bandwidth consumption of each machine
    - be able to "bandwidth throttle" each machine, ie allocate maximum "shares of bandwidth"
    - be able to schedule bandwidth throttling per machine, as well as set manually
    Is there any software that does this for the Mac, and that is recommended by users on this board?
    Note that I have zero understanding of router functionality and therefore accept that this question may or may not make sense!
    Thanks in advance for any help / recommendations

    Rick - thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
    Yes there are controls in the router to manage internet access for each client on the network but they are simply of the yes / no variety - allowing the admin to just turn access on or off.
    My teenage kids use Internet access for a variety of (legitimate!) purposes but my ISP (Virgin Media) imposes automatic "traffic management" bandwidth throttle on my connection (from 10 MBPS to 1 MBPS for 5 hours) if our overall bandwidth consumption exceeds 1,200 MB between 4pm and 9pm (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html)
    Needless to say, getting my kids to monitor and limit their own traffic during this period is impossible - so I would like to be able to automate the policing of traffic levels fairly amongst 3 concurrent users during the trigger time slot 4pm - 9pm without having to resort to a blunt "on/off" policy.
    From your reply I guess that my router provider (Belkin) would be the best source of information regarding available software for this - assuming it exists ...?
    Thanks

  • GS70 2QE (970m)- Any Fan control software?

    I am looking for a Fan control utility that will work for the GS70 2QE, This is a brand new laptop of the latest generation.
    I would like to turn the fan speed up manually during heavy computing loads to avoid the bouncing of the CPU clock due to thermal scaling. (Cools down, clocks up, gets hot, clocks down).
    Thanks

    Wondering how it worked? Can share with us?

    I've just seen fan software for GT70 - no idea if it could work for a GS.

  • PowerBook fan control software?

    I know of this software for controlling MacBook and MBP fan speed:
    http://81.169.182.62/~eidac/software/page5/page5.html
    but it is Intel specific. is there something similar for PowerBooks, specifically the second to last 17" model?

    As far as I can tell, no, there isn't. I've searched and haven't found any.
    Actually, if you keep your PB on a cooling platform.....I use this: http://roadtools.com/) whenever using it, your PB should virtually never overheat. I've been using Temperature Monitor: http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html and, currently, Hardware Monitor: http://bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html for the past couple of years and have NEVER seen my PB go beyond 142 degrees F.
    The left fan cuts in when the PB's temp reaches about 140 F and deactivates when the temp drops to around 130 F.
    The right fan will activate only if the PB's temp reaches critically high levels, perhaps 160F, but it's never activated since my PB has never even come close to critical temp.

  • Project/Task Management Software for iMac, iPad and iPhone

    Hi,
    I work at a Espresso Bars company in Sydney and we have a small but busy Design & Marketing department.  We're looking for the best, yet simplest software so we can manage all the marketing and design projects.
    I've seen a few good Online Management Software but they are quite expensive ($25+ per month per user).  The good thing about those systems is that you can access it from anywhere and people can collaborate, ask questions about a project, give feedback about a design, enter a new task or tick as completed, etc... And you can use it on an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone.
    I came across Projector for iMac and iPad, but it is not online, if you want to share the project from iMac to iPad you have to conect your iPad to your computer and sync it.  It also works by projects, so there is no way for you to see in a single screen all the projects you're currently working on and the process of them.  So, although it being very user friendly and excellent UI, not sure if it is what we want.
    I wanted to ask you if you know about another Project/Task Management Software that we can use on an iMac, iPad and perhaps and iPhone as well.  Something that you either buy the app once or if you have to pay a monthly fee it needs to be very low.  If it is online it would be much better! but everything would work I reckon.
    User friendly and good UI software are preferred.
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Cheers
