Fix for Blasting Fans with 10.4.4 yet??

Hello everybody,
It's been a while since I've checked back at these forums, but I couldn't find a solution going over some posts today. My fans have been CRAZY since 10.4.3, and 10.4.4 didn't help one bit. They're fine when in Reduced settings, which is really lame, because i bought the G5 for its power. Highest has no crazy fans, but has the annoying chirps. Automatic was completely fine until 10.4.3, and I want to be able to use it again. So has anybody found a solution to this yet? (From Apple or personal solution). Also the fans seem to go most crazy with Safari or Firefox use.
Thanks,
-Burak

Oh geez, here I am back on the boards again. Guess I never should have installed Tiger yesterday on the G5 and did the 10.4.5 combo to catch up. Had been PERFECTLY happy with 10.3.9 on it. No fan revs, very low CPU loads, sleeps when it should, yadda, yadda. Tiger sat on the shelf from first day of issue until yesterday. Finally decided a mid version update on 10.4 should have things resolved. Oh well, the fans rev'ing again are a BIG disappointment Apple!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this G5 dually and it performed out-of-the-box perfect since Oct. '03 on each of the last versions of Panther and Jaguar.
So I'm here to verify, indeed Apple has a software problem with the Fans rev'ing on my G5. And ALL the fan rev'ing problems in the past...i.e. Jaguar and Panther both....were resolved in software revision updates at some point in time without changing a single thing on this Mac, not software, hardware or firmware.
C'mon Apple, I DON'T want to wait until 10.4.9 to get this irratic, unpredictable, annoying, unjustified fan rev'ing problem fixed.

Fix for Mavericks compatibility with Lacie external drives yet?

My last attempt to upgrade to Mavericks caused my 2 Lacie external drives to become unrecognisable to my mac. Update hung up too so I lost everything...luckily I had a third back up with CCC that saved me. Im just wondering if there is a fix for this now. I got no information or help from Lacie.

Exactly the same here. Installed Mavericks and La Cie no longer shows in Finder and Time Machine reminds me that no back up has taken place. As an iMac newbie where do I go from here. In my Win PC days I always backed up to an external HD on a scheduled basis without this sort of problem.

Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Because soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not.

Question
Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem. That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades. So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable. Enough with my complaints...
Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO? I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it. More can be read on it at:
http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system? I have two video cards, the article says to remove one. Has this worked for anyone? Can I use dual screens with the one video card. Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix. For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

Definitive fix for revving fans/freeze?

Is there a definitive fix for the revving fan & freeze issues in the early edition G5s (dual 2Ghz)? Also, does the above mention problem have any relation to the defective video cards in the same machines? -- no video signal on cold starts. card needs to be warmed w/ a hairdryer before startup!

Hi
Dont know if this will help you but I had a problem of high revving noisy fans, then it wouldn't power up. I sent it away and the said it was due to a little white strip fixed on the bottom end of the cover, which apparently effects the air flow. It was starting to curl up, it was straightened out and the fans are now very very quiet and I have had no bother since, including powering up

Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1? I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response. These problems have been occurring since the last update. At times the iPad becomes unusable. I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi, dannilee,
I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
Hope it is useful for you.

Official apple fix for 3 bars with no working wireless!

This is for all of you with internet connected bars yet no internet on your ipod touch
If you have tried everything on forums and youtube from doing the network reset to unplugging your router for 10 seconds and replugging it back in and it has not worked for you then this is what you do.
Unplug router and other internet devices for 4 minutes "not the ipod" unlike the original 10 seconds .
Plug back in your router and devices
Go to settings on your ipod touch, general , reset , reset network settings.
It will reboot.
Boom your on.
I called apple and was amazed that this works. Just make sure that router is unplugged for 4 minutes. No one on any forum has said that as a fix for internet. Your welecome.

Give apple technical support a call. They will stay on the phone with you till its fixed. They have very simple steps and know what there doing. From the problems your having. If he/she cannot fix it then call 1 more time and hopefully you will get someone with more knowlage. They fixed mine in 2 minutes and I tried everything before that

Attention N200 Owners, I found a fix for the fan

In an attempt to improve battery life, I made an important discovery. Apparently lenovo is using the desktop CPU P States instead of the mobile ones. With my T7200 running at 2GHz, this means it's using 1.35V instead of the 1.225V it's supposed to be. This mistake on lenovo's part means increased heat output and a fan that has no idea how fast to run. Here's how to fix it:
1. Download and Install RightMark CPU Clock Utility. http://cpu.rightmark.org/download.shtml
2. Open the utility and select "Advanced CPU Settings" in the pane on the left side.
3. Towards the bottom under "Intel Core 2 Family Advanced Features", change the "CPU type selection" setting from desktop to mobile.
In order to make this change stick, you have to make the RightMark CPU Clock Utility run at startup.
1. Click on settings in the pane on the left side.
2. Check the box next to "Run at Startup"
3. Select "via Startup Folder" in the pull down box.
4. You may also want to check the "Start Minimized to Tray" box above, or the main window will open every time you start the computer.
Untill lenovo does something about this problem, this is all you can do. However, you will see an improvement in battery life and a reduction in noise, along with a fan that does not have ADD.

@iamdh
He doesn´t change the voltage of the CPU fan which could indeed be a little risky. He changes the voltage of the CPU which is according to CPU-Z by default (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) a little higher than the default voltage of the CPU.
I also noticed this before and did exactly the same with my 3000 N200. The difference is just that my N200 has a T5250 CPU but as it seems the same overvoltage problem. With his workaround the heat and powerconsumption is especially under high load reduced, resulting in a higher runtime.
On the other hand this has hardly any effect on the fan spining up an down when the CPU is idle.
Sorry, small addition:
I used another way to get the "right" voltages for my CPU. When I open RMClock my CPU already is marked as an mobile CPU, so this is not the problem in my case. But you can also change voltages for the different Pstates in RMClock manually. And this is what I did to get the default voltages for my CPU. Interested ones can find the necessary information here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2637648 (They describe how to undervolt a CPU but as a start it is just enough to supply the CPU with the default voltage instead of the "higher than above" voltage supplied by for example my 3000 N200)
Just for information: The default Voltage of my T5250 CPU is 0.95 Volt at idle and 1.25 at load. According to CPU-Z my CPU gets 1.063 Volt at idle and 1.363 Volt at load.

Any fix for MacPro Fan problem caused by the last firmware update?

Hi,
My macPro's fans have been going balistic on restart from sleep mode ever since I loaded that last firmware update that was supposed to address the MacPro fan control.
Any word on a fix... Is this overspeed damaging my hardware?

It is a bug in the firmware update because my MacPro never acted this way before the update was loaded...
Many have reported the problem... and some have not experienced it... Go figure.
Logic says this is not a bug. A bug with the firmware update would be universally felt, no exceptions. Firmware doesn't change its format out of the blue when it chooses to. What it does say is there are some Mac Pros that for whatever reason are not getting sufficient cooling in their position on the desk/floor, or the climate they are being used in. Since Apple does not publish the temperature limits internally for its machine, the best thing is to report this problem to AppleCare, even if the hardware test comes out negative.

Fix for Error 1417 with new itunes 7

This worked for me when I got that unknown error - 1417 (can't update ipod)
Step 1: Disable all third party programs and services via MSCONFIG
Article with step by step instructions found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Step 2: Restart the computer
Step 3: Uninstall quicktime through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 4: Uninstall itunes through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 5: Uninstall any/all ipod updaters or ipod for window software through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 6: Delete program file folders for itunes and quicktime:
--On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
--In My Computer, open Local Disk. (C Drive)
--Open Program Files.
--Right-click on the iTunes folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
--Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
--Open the iPod folder.
--Right-click on the bin folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu. Note: If you are unable to delete the \Program Files\iPod\bin folder, see the "iPodService.exe Alert" section below.
--Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
--Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
Step 7: Restart computer
Step 8: Install STANDALONE version of quicktime at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Note: if you get an error on this page about an error occuring, just refresh. It should load. Also, there are TWO download options... one with itunes 7 and one without. You want the one without itunes.
Step 9: Restart computer
Step 10: Install itunes 7:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Step 11: Restart computer
Step 12: Run itunes. You should be able to update and sync your ipod after this and no longer get that pesky 1417 error.
Also, after you have resolved the issue please see the bottom of the msconfig article for instructions on configuring windows to load your normal startup options again.

It seems like almost everybody is having this exact same problem. I bought a Nano for my wife and a iPod Photo for myself. Syncing does not work on either one and from what I read on these boards it doesn't work for most customers. Apple really needs to fix this soon.

Any fix for wifi issues with ios8?

Just submitting another questions asking for help with IOS8 wifi issues. Nobody from Apple has commented or acknowledged any issues with wifi, so we, the users, are left to fend for ourselves.
My specific issue is that 5GHz Wireless N seems to have incredibly short range, and 2.4GHZ Wireless N cuts out after about 3 seconds of use. I have tried all of the fixes described in every post I can find. I've deleted network settings, I've completely wiped the phone and started from scratch, I've done everything possible.
Now that wifi doesn't work with IOS8 I can no longer use my iPhone 5 with AirPlay our any of my other devices in my home. The fact that Apple has refused to say anything about the problem, and the fact that they are blocking users from rolling back shows a level of arrogance that's absolutely amazing. Thankfully this is all happening before I bought an iPhone6, which I'm now seriously considering avoiding if this experience is any indication of Apple's commitment to quality.
Are there any other tricks out there to get 2.4Ghz working? I know that we, the poor users of Apple products, are on our own, so I'm hoping that someone can help.

I got iPhone 6 IOS8 [ not updated ] for a few months now worked fine until now WiFi not working in my home tried reset , turning off phone , nothing worked , Got it to work by unplugging the router WiFi Box unit for a few seconds ! works like a charm now , Super fast

Timecode fix for Premiere CS5 with 10.7.2

I'm having the same issue others are reporting of timecode not appearing since upgrading to 10.7.2. I see a fix has been issued for CS5.5, does anyone know if one is coming for CS5?

Hi Todd,
I found this thread after having the same problem with CS5 and OSX 10.8.
My thread is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4863161#4863161
I feel I received a "Windows vs Mac" answer. I just wanted to know if the problem is definietly fixed in CS5.5 or CS6?
Another discussion here: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/932541
says that there's still a problem with CS5.5.2 on OSX 10.6.8.
I'm running CS5 on OSX 10.8.2 and having the problem. So Apple hasn't fixed anything about an overlay conflict with CS yet.
I'd upgrade CS if someone would please just tell me which version of CS had definitely resolved the conflict. Adobe must have tested for this by now, right?
Thanks for your time,

Is there a fix for iphone 5 with uconnect issues?

I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with Uconnect and when my phone is paired to the vehicle it works fine. When I shut my vehicle off and restart it, the phone kicks out. Uconnect states there is no phone connected. I keep having to pair it over and over and over again. I currently have an iphone 5 with the ios 6.1.3 software update. Does anyone have any resolution to this issue? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Then go for one of the old cables with a 30 pin to lightning dock connector
Add an Apple Genuine 30 pin to lightning adapter to fit the iPhone 5 plug into that the car cable
I use several in different scenarios but do buy the Apple product most of the cheap rippoffs do not work correctly

Is there a fix for a problem with animation using nested graphics (parent/child)?

I am not sure if its because of my lack of experience with 2D programs or not, however I am having issues with nested graphics and animation. I am normally a 3D user and as such grouping and parents are very key to how things are able to move. The problem I am having (just as an example because its hapening in multiple areas) is I have an arm of a character that is grouped 3 times. The upper arm is the parent, the lower arm is grouped inside the upper arm, and the hand grouped inside that, all of which were converted to graphics. I did this so the lower arm and hand follow the upper arm, and the hand follows the lower arm. This would be a common sense thing to do in 3D however when it comes to animating the hand, usually when double clicking a graphic it takes you to the same frame for the child as is selected with the parent (if the parent is on frame 20, double clicking the parent should take you to frame 20 of the child). I should also add that all graphics have the same frame count. The problem being when i double click, the child does not have the same frame count and throws off everything done to the child in relation to the parent's animation. I am not sure if its something i did, or a problem that exists inside flash. I have a deadline coming up and this has been a bad problem to have last minute so if anyone has advice on the matter, that would be greatly appreciated!
I also tried using the bone tool in flash, and besides no obvious way of re-adjusting the bones that are attached to the graphics (short of deleting them and trying again), this was difficult as well. I looked up ways to adjust the position and it seems you can only adjust the graphics themselves, not the bones. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't start skewing the graphics out of place randomly.
I hope this isn't too confusing and I would certainly appreciate some feedback!

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
