G4 MDD: Installing a better (quiet fan)

I still have G4/dual 1.25 which keeps on truckin'. I'd like to utilize it for secondary uses around my office, but the main drawback is that it is LOUD! Especially compared to a modern Mac Pro.
What component is it in the G4 that is particularly loud (what fan), and can this be replaced with anything a little quieter?

Hi! READ THIS. Also HERE and HERE is more fan info. Tom

Could you install a new quiet fan in a 2011 MBP?

I was just wondering if the new 2012 quiet fans interchangeable with the 2011 13" MBP? It seems like they use the same component layout.

Here's a pretty good description of the steps with pictures: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-17-Inch/SuperDrive/55/8/Page-1 . You didn't say which model you have, these are the instructions for all but the very last 1.67Ghz Hi-rez 17" PowerBook.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

Installed iMessage beta, cant log on, iCloud now won't log on either.

The subject tells the tale. iCloud was working fine on my MacPro running 10.7.3. Yesterday I installed iMessage beta. Once I rebooted I tried iMessage but could not log in. I went to System Preferences to check the settings for iCloud and saw I was logged out. Trying to log in resulted in the dreaded "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account.".
I removed iMessage beta, but nothing changed. I checked the forums and deleted the networkconfiguration.plist file and rebooted. No change.
Sigh.
Any ideas on how to get iCloud and hopefully iMessage working?

Hi
There are two issues here.
1) Messages beta after the Install and restart will ask for an Apple ID.
It does not have to be an iCloud one.
2) On the iCloud front can you log in on the web site rather than via the Mac itself in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars ?
Notes.
On both the iOS 5 devices and the Mac the relevant apps are called "Messages"
They Send iMessages (to iPhones, iPads, certain Touches and Messages Beta using either the Phone Number or Apple ID).
Messages beta on the Mac can also do everything that iChat can do (at iChat 6)

MSI K8N Neo3 how to install cool n quiet

can any one tell me how to install cool n quiet on k8n neo3.
is core center enough to do the job of cool n quiet.
Is my board is compatible with cool n quiet
I am using AMD athlon 2800+ and k8n neo3with MSI FX5200 VGA card

Refer to page 1-9 of your manual.
Enable the feature in the bios.
Select "minimal power management" in Windows power schemes.
You don't need to install core center for it to work, it just lets you visually know it's working. AMD also has a small utility to visuallize the CPU throttlling.
To allow the CPU fan to automatically speed up or down, enable "smart CPU fan target" in the bios.
Hope this helps.

My iTunes has gone and is saying it is out of date. I tried installing a beta of 10.5 i think last night. However it hasn't worked and i now have no iTunes. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help? Tried installing a beta of itunes. It hasnt worked. 10.5 i think. i now have no itunes. my old itunes is now reading as out of date when i try to go in.

The 10.5 Beta version should only be available to those that have subscribed to the Developer channel, and not to anyone else.
The latest version that is available to all is 10.4.1: iTunes 10.4.1

Installing a better Hard Drive in my MacBook Pro

Hey guys,
I'm looking to install a better hard drive into my MacBook Pro (15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz) that I bought last September, and I'm strictly a software guy: I know little to nothing about hardware.
I'm hoping to upgrade from a 120 GB to a 320 and hopefully from 5400 rpm to 7200 rpm. Is there any other specifications I need to follow, other than it needs to be a notebook hard drive and it needs to be SATA?
I have these picked out from a previous post:
http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/320-GB-7200-RPM-Hitachi-SATA-Hard-Drive-New/IF 107-063
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145228
Is there any difference besides the price? Will both work in my computer?
Also, I have the AppleCare protection plan. Is there someone who can install a hard drive for me that won't void the protection plan?
I tried calling an apple store, and they want me to come in to the apple store and talk to a genius, which is too difficult for me at the moment.
Thanks,
- Keith

Yeah I'm more of a speed freak, I admit it. 7200 RPM sounds good even sacrificing the size, because I already have an external and intend to get a huge desktop in the next few years. Also, my laptop is much more powerful than any of my computers could ever be upgraded to be.
Also, I talked to my brother who says compared to my 5400 rpm hard drive, a 7200 rpm hard drive will run *significantly hotter* and get *significantly less battery life* (~30 minutes depending). Has anyone here upgraded a 5400 rpm notebook hard drive to a 7200 rpm hard drive before? Can you say anything about these claims?
I'm pretty sure I'm getting one of these two:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/0A57547/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD3200BEKT/
Any advice of comparison, brand loyalty, or how these specific hard drives will compare when it comes to heating up or battery life would be appreciated (for example, the Hitachi one claims to use less energy and user reviews claim to get better battery life).
Thanks,
- Keith

Probably wasn't a good idea to install beta software on a device when you're not a developer.
Apple clearly states that beta software is not to be installed on production devices.
Not really much you can do except wait for iOS 6.1 to be officially released and then install it.

Is it possible to install the beta and also keep the newest v. of 3 on my system... as a failsafe?

After all the 'issues' I've seen in the Faq, I was wondering if it were possible to 'sequester' v. 3.6.15 as a fall back/fail safe, just in case 4 has issues with my system. . . it's old.

Yes, when you install the beta it doesn't replace the older version of firefox that you have. This is normal procedure for all Firefox betas. If you don't like the beta, just uninstall it, the previous version will still be there.

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

I'm having trouble installing CS6 beta;

I'm having trouble installing CS6 beta; when I try, it says to close background processes - specifically Bridge, which is NOT open. In fact, I just turned the computer on and tried to install what was dowloaded last night. Any ideas?

Are you on Mac or windows?
If you check the Task manager in Win (CTRL+Shift+Esc), or the ForceQuit applications dialog (CMD+Opt+ESC) do you see any Bridge, or other Adobe applications running?

TS4196 I am having problems un-installing iMessages(Beta) and re-installing iChat

Could someone help me with an answer to my problem. I installed the (BETA) version of iMessages, and now I want to un-install it and get my iChat bck.
But, I am running into a problem. Each time I to the the iMessages menu, and select "Uninstall Messages Beta" it begins the process by looking up software, then I get a window saying..."The software is currently unavailable...you can check for the software later by choosing Software Update from the Apple menu".
So, I am at a loss, and not know how to fix my problem. Is there anyone out there that can help?
I am on a new MacBook Air, 2GHz Intel Core i7.
Thanks,
Tim

Are you using dial-up, cable, or DSL? Do you have a slow or fast connection? The former is likely to make it difficult to get a reliable download of a 4 GB file.

I installed 4 beta on my iBook G4 OS 10.4 and it caused the previous version to be unusable; how can I revert and is it possible to restore my bookmarks?

My iBook is running OS 10.4.11; after installing the beta about December 11 2010, neither version of Firefox is usable. I don't want to uninstall as my bookmarks will be lost. How can I correct this and still preserve the bookmarks I have?

Firefox 4 will no work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5
You can trash the application and this will not remove the bookmarks. User data such as bookmarks and passwords are stored elsewhere in the profile folder, and trashing the application will not remove the profile folder. For more details see [[Uninstalling Firefox]].

I just installed Firefox Beta on Nexus 7, will not recognize my E-mail/password for my Firefox account Why?

I have a Firefox account on my computer using Windows 7, I have a username/password with a gmail E-mail address.
I installed Firefox Beta on Nexus 7, tried to log-in will not allow me to says the username/ E-mail already in use Duh! but I cannot log-in or register with my E-mail Why?
I set-up a sync account a couple of years ago but have not be using but I still have the account info, Have not tried because I cannot sign-in to firefox. Help not sure where to look for a reply, E-mal address is [email protected]

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the new ID. If you only changed your ID and didn't create an entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will download back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account. Deleting the account deletes the photo stream photos from your phone.
