Fan RPM & Noise is too loud, why? I have 4GB ram & not using too much apps
Hey Folks.
I dont' get it... I have 4GB ram & pretty much doing nothing online except on YouTube and I constantly hear my fan go crazy... the RPM is at like 4-5000rpm right now as we speak its 2500rpm (because I have paused the YouTube clip)... why is that?
Here's some snapshots & Please help.

I thought I have sufficient memory to handle these type of tasks?
Let me know plz.

So in other words, it's quite normal for Mac to go nuts a little when watching YouTube Flicks, cause the flash coded on Mac differentiates from other operating systems hence the reason why there's a higher CPU?
Sure, but it shouldn't really "go nuts." When the original poster gets 76% CPU and I get 85% when watching a Flash video, that still means watching videos uses less than half the total CPU power of a dual core. Video in and of itself should not cause fans to start up, as my fans hardly every go on. When fans come on due to CPU load alone, it usually means a dual core is operating at close to 200% CPU load.
If the fans are coming on, it means other factors may be contributing to the heat. Maybe other processes are adding to the CPU load. Maybe the ambient room temperature is high, which is common in the summer or in the south. Maybe there is insufficient ventilation to the case. Maybe SMC Fan Control is set to make the fans start at a lower threshold; I have not modified my fan behavior and don't even monitor it.

I am getting a 'MIDI timeout' error message when I open garageband. I am not using any other apps so why is this happening. Restarting does not solve the issue.
I should also add that I am using core audio, no external MIDI device and Garageband v 6.0.5. Thanks

Why is my iphone 5 not using default ring tone even though it is set for my personal tone in defaults!!
Hello Rob,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. You may have a contact that has a different ringtone assigned to it. Just navigate to the contact and see what ringtone is assigned to them.
iPhone: Ringtones
http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38610
Setting Ringtones
In addition to the default ringtone, you can assign individual ringtones to people in your contacts so that you can tell when a particular person calls.
Alternatively you can reset all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This would put your iPhone at factory default on everything settings wise and it does not touch the data on the phone

The fan on my MacBook goes on way too much when I'm on the internet using Safari or Netscape. Why does this happen? It's cranking up right now while I typing this.....my old Mac never did this.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)Check your activity monitor and see if there is anything running in the back ground you don't know about. You could also try resetting the PRAM and PMU

Hi 21Erik
This is primarily a User to User Forum...
Your Phone is Locked to its Carrier... In your case Softbank, Japan.
Usually Unlocking the Phone will enable it to work in other Countries...
However... the Unlock can Only be performed by the Carrier it is locked to...
Unfortunately Softbank is one of the Carriers that Do Not Offer this Service. -
UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnect loud fan RPM noise
Hello,
Our currently installed 6248 Fabric Interconnect pair are generating a loud FAN noise.
Is there any way to reduce theirs RPM? So then can be quieter? The server room have proper air conditioning.
Some logs as bellow:

FABRIC-A(nxos)#UPDATE
I opened a TAC, then after several reviews of the LOGs and huge sh tech files, we concluded that all was normal. This loud noise is normal and within in normal operational ranges.
However as the server room is not fully acoustics proof and located near production work desks, we managed to get a RMA for the fan modules for the version 2 modules which are MUCH quieter than V1 due new design.
I have upload both pictures for comparison of the designs.
Thank You! -
My fan makes a bit too much noise! Whats wrong?
Hello,
For a couple of months my computer has been making quite a bit of noise. I think that there is something wrong with the fan, but I'm not quite sure what to do. When I go on skype and talk with my friends, they say that they can even hear my computer's fan! Even through the telephone. If I try to load something, something that's Java, then it will only load if the fan is making a lot of noise. If my computer is silent then it won't load the program. Should I replace the fan in my mac or what should I do?
--Sofie
iMac G5 PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)Sofie,
It sounds like you have bigger problems than the noise of your fan, as you mentioned in your post,
"If I try to load something, something that's Java, then it will only load if the fan is making a lot of noise. If my computer is silent then it won't load the program."
You mac should load java regardless of the state of the fan, I think you may have other issues with your mac as the status of your fan making a lot of noise or not should in no way affect your ability to run applications on your Mac. Have you tried running the Hardware test on the CD/DVD that came with your iMac ? that may help track down a possible problem. Failing that trying doing a new install of your mac (remember to back up all your files first). I know that sounds a bit drastic but its worth a try. -
I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?
Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps. -
I save all my garage band songs to the cloud. They are about 1.5 gigs worth of a 5 gig free account. If I don't access them for a few weeks I find maybe one will be missing. This has happened 2 times in the past 6 months. Again it's not an issue where I gust ran out of storage ether locally or on my icloud, they just seem to disappear. Any thoughts?
I have the same problem. It has happened twice in the last week. Nobody here has actually given a solution to the problem.
Here are the particulars:
-iPhone 4S
-iOS version 7.0.4
-Seems to only happen when I am home and the iPhone is synching with WiFi.
-The problem begins with a dialog window on the phone that requests that I re-enter my iCloud credentials.
-Within a few minutes/hours, all of the iCloud information is gone (contacts, calendars)
-Email seems to still work for the iCloud and all other email accounts (gmail, hotmail, etc.)
-The only way to get back the information is to re-boot the phone.
-Prior to the dialog window, nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
-I am a little OCD, so I permanently close all running programs except for Mail, Messages, and Phone.
-Programs running prior to the problem could be many but typically I use Waze while driving home, and I would have closed it after I pull in to the garage. (My iPhone gets WiFi in the garage)
-The biggest drag is that when the contacts get cleared, any personal ringtones, or other identifiers get permanently cleared and have to be reassigned. That is the most annoying part.
What else does anyone need to know? It seems to be a thing, so when (and I'm sure it will repeat) it happens again I will throroughly check all suggestions.
I know how to fix it. I would like to know how to prevent it from ever happening again. -
Why wont have the websites I use, myfrenchlab, facebook, not load?
This has been going on for two days now. On facebook, my chat bar never loads. It only just says "loading." When I try to click my message button, nothing ever happens. When I try to go to a page that I "liked" and enter a sweepstakes from a tab, it never loads. It loaded just fine three days ago. And now with myfrenchlab.com, I try to open my ebook, and it never opens. All that opens is that a blank web page sits open. This only happens on firefox, I am running the most up to date firefox, and Mac 10.6.8
This sounds like you are having an issue with one of your installed add-on/extensions. To verify you just need to start Firefox in safemode which disable all add-ons/extensions, next try to load the sites you are having problems with to verify if they either do or don't now load correctly. If the sites load correctly, enable your add-ons/extensions again one by one each specifically until you encounter a problem to verify the problem add-on/extension.

Why are swatches I'm not using 'merge' into my document?!?
Do color swatches 'stick' to an Illustrator file even after you delete them? I have to use the same spec box on all my documents to relay info to my printer which is in it's own Illustrator doc. BUT when I copy it and paste it into any file I am working on Illustrator always asks me about merging the swatches even tho there is only ONE color being used in my spec box file. HELP!!! My printer is losing patience b/c they think my files are a mess when I send them but my swatch pallet is clean and tidy on my end! Is there a way to clean up this mess??
Thanks!Sticky Colors
There is a technical problem where swatches keep coming back, but you would see "deleted global color" as the swatch name. If your swatch palette is tidy and clean, then make a screen shot and attach that in an email to your printer, and ask them to return a screenshot showing the problem colors. Post the screenshot here and we can better help you.
Merge Swatches Notification
Does you clipboard and the document you are pasting into both contain the offending color? That error should only come up in that case and the colros haev the same name, btu a different color composition -
Why does the update list not clear after the app update with the new 7 system?
Can I clear the update list, it is getting full, from all the updates. It say open only when I do it is still there. Help please.
Easiest way to clear list is; go to settings>general>date and time and set date manually to a point at least one month in the future (I set mine to two months ahead) and then open App Store and check for updates. The list should now be clear. This is just an update history list. When finished just turn on auto date/time or set it back manually if you like and list should still be clear. If you do nothing the updated apps should start to drop off the list in about two to three weeks.

Why Are Password Protected Forms not Fillable on Reader App
I have made a fillable form on Acrobat X Pro that is protected with password security in order to deny printing or editing (other than filling the form and commenting), however the app will open but will not allow you to fill it. The document's forms are fillable on any other computer. How can this be fixed?
It is reader version 10.4.1 on a Asus Transformer TF300T android Ver 4.1.1As you have discovered, Adobe Reader for Android does not yet support filling encrypted forms. It is something we are considering for the future, but I cannot give any insight into when we will have that support available.
