Fan sounds like a hairdryer after screen has been replaced...eh?

Can someone who's 'up' on imacs give me a steer here.
At the beginning of the week, with only a 14 days to go on my 3 year Applecare warranty, I noticed a grey streaky 'misting' on the screen when it was turned off. It was really quite bad. Called Applecare, who got their servicing company to collect it, screen replaced with no problems. Got it back today, new screen, looks great.
So far so good. Except that the fan is now whirling around and making an incredible noise after about 10 minutes of the machine being turned on. I'd say it's around 5 times as loud (or hyperactive) as it was before I sent it off for a new screen. One of the things I turned to the imac for was it's quietness, so this is worse for me than a misty screen, to be honest. Sounds like a hairdryer.
Put it this way: I often listen to music late at night, very low, but now the fan would drown out the sound of the music. Called Applecare, who are going to get it collected again, but from what I've read in these forums this evening (& I'm no expert) it could be a software related problem (temperature controls and all that...) I'm not sure that the guy I was talking to at Applecare today quite understood what I was trying to explain, and said it was definitely a hardware problem. I want to call Applecare back on Monday before the mac's collected again to just make sure it has to be carted off again, with a bit of back up info from anybody who might help here.
thanks

Reset your SMC to see if that makes a difference:
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.

DISCOLORATION AFTER KEYPAD HAS BEEN REPLACED!

recently ive been having problems with the discoloration of my keypad on my macbook.
i sent it in last month to have apple replace the brown/yellow stains on the computer.
then i get it back and it appears as though my keyboard is now turning grey.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
anyone else have this problem?
apple screwed up last time i sent them my computer- i'm really scared to send it back. they returned my computer to me all scratched up like someone took sandpaper to it. thankfully they replaced it- but still- i've had enough.

HT204389 Siri sounds like beta Siri after installing a fresh Copy of iOS 7.0.2

I have a 32GB iPhone 5s on AT&T I recently installed a fresh copy of iOS 7.0.2 and now Siri does not sound like the new Siri she has the robotic voice again. I have went to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over(Which is off)>Languages & Dialects>Default Dialect(Set to U.S. English) and turned enhanced voice on. I watched it download the enhanced voice. Still the same thing. I have powered off the phone and powered it back on. Siri still sounds like the siri of old. I have performed a hard reboot. Siri still sounds the same. When I first got the phone she sounded as advertised. Is there anything else I should try?

Hey hmj9007,
Great question. After restoring or updating a device, the system initially uses a more compact voice while the natural-sounding voice is downloading:
About Siri
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4992
Can I change how Siri sounds?
Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. Your device will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.
Change the gender at Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. The voice genders that are available vary by country and region.
Change the language at Settings > General > Siri > Language.
If you change either of these, the new enhanced-quality voice will download when you connect your device to power and a Wi-Fi network.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My macbook fan sounds like it is constantly running?

Hi
i have a 13" white macbook (Feb2011)and the fan sounds like it is constantly running, i have fan control and checked activity monitor and it is all fine and normal as it should be, this has started occuring in the last few days. It has been since i have had new carpets laid and i have heard that it may be due to my sister using the laptop on the carpet on multiple occassions. do you think that it is because the fan may have sucked in fibres from the carpet? If i took it to the apple shop would they be able to sort it.
I know it may be petty and not a major problem but it used to be pretty much silent and now it is not so it worried me.
thanks for your help

I'm kind of confused as to what you mean by it "sounds like it's overloaded." Could you give a bit more info as to what sound you're hearing?

I was working on Setting of my iphone4S, and there was an option ''Zoom''. I made it enable and there after whole screen has been 10 times larger. Now I can Not do anything, even can't open my phone anymore because I can't see the sliding option due to extra large screen. Please help me.

Did you try to tap using three fingers?
Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 123.
Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

My ip adress was attacked by a bot virus,therefore my mac screen has been blurred as if the ink is poured on the surface,I want a solution to fix it?

First of all, this sound like a very unlikely set of symptoms for a virus of any kind. Lets try a test to see if you actually have a hardware issue.
Boot the MacBook Pro to it's recovery partition by holding down the command and R keys during startup. Is the screen issue still there? If that is the case, you have a problem with the MBP's hardware and need a repair.
Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook Pro in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

Short Clicking noise when resuming pc after it has been idle

This isn't really a problem just something that is annoying me. When going to my pc after it has been sitting idle, (not hibernating nor do I have the hardisks turnoff ever) I notice a one time short clicking noise from the box. To me it sounds like some extra voltage is being sent somewhere. It has never caused a problem and my rig is and has been stable since I built it. I did have a cheapo powersupply blow up on me so I've kinda been tuned in to that. Anyone know what I'm referring to? Thanks.

It is a non issue really...I've had alot of machines do this...it is the HD that's doing it and some of them I've seen *especially the older drives* did it all the time...they have a spot that they rest the heads at and when you're away from the machine it parks it there...then it sets a safety level on it and when you come back it doesn't always wait for the safety lever to unegage and that is the click you hear...I don't know if they still do this or not but that click is common...
Sometimes tho that click, to me, means that the drive is on its way out...but that hasn't been the norm...

- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.) Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Delete the App, then reinstall it.
Test the issue after each step. Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step.

Tiles- Cannot forward after response has been committed Error

I am trying to use following approach for my tiles implementation but i am getting error like
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committed.
I have gone thorugh the other posts regarding the same error but not helping me.
Any clues greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

"I haven't found a way to directly dispatch to a tiles definition, but you can eliminate the need for multiple "wrapper" JSPs by creating a single "tilesDispatch" JSP that is able to dispatch to different tiles definitions, and establishing a convention for mapping URLs to that JSP, and identifying the tiles definition you want to load.
For example, you could use the following convention to identify a tiles definition:
/tiles/defName
where "defName" is the name of the tiles definition (from tiles.xml) that you want to use. The code for the tilesDispatch.jsp would be as follows:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles" %>
<%
String tilePath = request.getRequestURI();
int slashIndex = tilePath.lastIndexOf('/');
if (slashIndex >= 0) {
tilePath = tilePath.substring(slashIndex+1);
%>
<t:insert definition="<%=tilePath%>" flush="false"/>
The scriptlet code takes the request URL (e.g. /tiles/defName), strips off everything up to and including the final slash (e.g. defName), then the tiles "t:insert" tag is used to look up and insert the corresponding tiles definition.
In order to map all URLs of the form /tiles/* to the tilesDispatch.jsp, you would need to add the following to your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/tiles/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Note: You may need to insert a slash before tilesDispatch.jsp in the <jsp-file> element. I am using pre-compiled JSPs, so my configuration is a little different. So if <jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file> doesn't work, try <jsp-file>/tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>.
Once you have this set up, you can refer to tiles definitions using the /tiles/defName convention in your faces-config.xml. For example, if you have two tiles definitions in your tiles.xml file: tile1 and tile2, you could have something like the following in faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/tiles/tile1</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/tiles/tile2</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Note that when I have used this convention, I also have used the prefix mapping for JSF. That is, when linking to a JSF page, based on a tiles definition, from a non-JSF page, the URL would be as follows:
/faces/tiles/defName
In this case, the Faces servlet is initially invoked, which sets up the JSF environment. Then the /faces prefix is stripped off, and the remaining URL (/tiles/defName) is routed to the tilesDispatch.jsp, which strips off the /tiles/ prefix, and inserts the "defName" definition.
We are currently using this approach in a number of web apps, and it is working very reliably. I hope this helps.

Workflow Shows as 'In Progress' after Workflow has been completed.

Hello All,
I have created a custom workflow using SharePoint Designer. Within this workflow I have multiple 'approval process' tasks. In theory this was so that once the first user had approved the item then the next would be prompted to approve the item, and
so on. The users that the item must be approved by are set when the item is submitted initially.
Just so anyone reading this knows I have no formal experience/education in SharePoint workflow design, but I would like to think I know my way around SharePoint(in general) at this point.
My problem is, the company I work for is just starting out using SharePoint workflows, and from what I understand workflows that are 'In Progress' are related to server performance. I noticed today that there are 5 items in the list which
under the 'workflow status' column display that they are 'In Progress' which is entirely correct. However, when I go to -> 'List Settings' -> 'Workflow Settings' this workflow is showing 8 workflows 'In Progress'.
Thank you to anyone who is able to help me with this,
James

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that workflow shows as 'In Progress' after Workflow has been completed.
To send the task one by one, you can select one at a time(serial) when you select Task Process Participants.
Per my knowleadge, when you go to -> 'List Settings' -> 'Workflow Settings', it show all the workflows you associated to the list.
To see the running workflow, you need to select an item, right click the title, and then select the workflow.
However, each workflow enstance can only start once on an item. In other word, you can not start the same workflow again untill the previous one is completed.
As you said, workflow shows as 'In Progress'.
Please make sure all the users have approved the tasks.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

My computer does not eject the disc after it has been burned.

I understand that my computer is supposed to automatically eject a disc after it has been burned. Mine doesn't. Instead, I hear a "Plonk," which I assume is announcing that the burning process has been completed.
First of all, is it true that the disc is supposed to be ejected after the burn has been completed? Secondly, how can I restore that function?

Diane Wordsmith wrote:
To clarify...are you importing songs from a CD into iTunes, or are you burning songs from iTunes onto a blank CD? If it's the former, iTunes won't eject it...you'll just hear a chime or noise when it's done. If it's the latter it should eject.
For the second poster, it sounds you are importing. In which case, you will just hear the sound when importing is finished and you eject the CD yourself.
Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, here's what I did: Imported songs from website. They were in RealPlayer format. I then converted the song files into MP3 format, and put them into my iTunes music library. Finally, I put the songs in a New Smart Playlist, and burned them into a blank disc.
Given this situation, should I expect the disc to automatically eject when the burning is competed? If so, what do I have to do to get it to work properly?

Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.

My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen.

The powering off screen has been up for 10 minutes

What am i suppose to do when the powering off screen has been up for 10 minutes?

If what Illaass's instruction didn't work, attempt these instructions;
To do a recovery mode restore, follow instructions as follows:
-Connect cable to computer but not device
-Open iTunes on computer
-Power off device
-Hold circle (Home) button
-continue to hold the power button while connecting the cable
-continue holding after cable is connected, until you receive a notice in iTunes that says;
"iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode, you need to restore the device before it can be used with iTuens"
-Click ok to this message
-click restore and wait for the restore to complete

How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been

Hi,
How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been done GR and LIV? Thanks.

Hi,
Price anyway cannot be changed once GR is posted on the PO item, it can be changed only by cancelling the GR, the same applies to IR too.
But quantity can be changed at any time.
So if you are looking at blocking qty too, then a customized message through save exit is the option, I am not aware of any standard SAP messages that can be configured to achieve this..
