Has anyone felt the heat from their monitor?

I have a Penryn 2.8 GHz 24" iMac and I park my face fairly close to the screen (about 12 inches (30.5 cm) and I can feel the heat of the screen.
I took temperature readings with a lab thermometer on 9 points distributed on a grid across the screen and it averages about 103 degrees F(39.4 C), ranging from 101 F (38.3 C) to 107 F (41.6 C). These measurements were taken while the computer was idle with just the screen saver running and the brightness at maximum.
Has anyone felt the heat of their screen like this? Has anyone ever tried to measure it?
Where does all the heat come from, is it all derived from the backlight or from the computer itself (107 is from the upper left and the 101 is from the lower right)?

You might be interested in running SMCFanCOntrol to keep your temps down. I'd recommend keeping the HD under 50C and the Power Supply under 60C.

This sounds like a virus or malware program that has made its way onto your computer. I would ensure you have the latest virus definitions on your computer and run a thorough (complete) scan of your system. If this doesn't work, I would suggest you use Microsoft's Malware Removal Tool. You can download it at the link below. Hope this helps.

Anyone lose the contacts from their I-5 after syncing it with outlook 2013?

Has anyone lost the contacts on their phone after syncing it with outlook 2013.

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

Has anyone had the problem with their iPhone 5 where some people cannot receive texts from you? And if so, is there a fix?

Has anyone had the problem of not being able to send texts to certain people?

Here is another screenshot. In this example, I did 'Get Info' on one of the goofy ones, and it shows that this Wolfmother song is sorted by the Eagles. ***?

Has anyone removed the stand from the monitor?

I love my 30" Cinema Display, but it sits too high on my desk, and find myself tilting my head up to see towards the top of the screen. I hate the thought of modifying the work of art that it is, but if I removed the stand, it would sit perfectly at eye-level. Obviously, I would have to make a stand/support to allow it to be free-standing. Either that or modify the desk itself. Has anyone tried removing the stand from the monitor? Feedback?

As NullUnit mentioned, it is quite easy to remove the stand but you will need the VESA adapter kit to replace it. This will give you the standard 100mm VESA mounting holes that you would then connect to any mounting arm you wish.
Personally I bought this MX Desk Mount Arm as it was rated to hold the weight of the display (~30#) whereas others were not (~18#). I originally mounted the display in a vertical/portrait orientation but the arm didn't go high enough so I had to mount a 6" block of wood to my desk first. I enjoyed the monitor so much that I have since moved it to become my primary monitor. The arm allowed me to lower the display all the way to my desk so I could just look over it (to watch TV). Couldn't have if it was still on the stand.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone felt static shock through their earbuds when plugged into an airplane AC adapter using an Apple MacBook Pro with the aluminum shell?

I was flying home on an American Airlines 737. I was watching a movie and my battery started to get low so I plugged my AC adapter into the underseat adapters. This place had the standard 120 volt type plug not the 12 volt automobile type adapter. As soon as I did I felt somthing sharp or shocking on my ears. As it turns out when plugged I could feel static shock when any of the small metal portions of my earbud touched my ear and I could also feel static on the aluminum shell when I lightly rubbed my hand over it. The flight attendant could feel the same thing.
Has anyone else experieinced this?

Never. Just flew United 737 and was plugged in all the way. If that happened to me I would have disconnected from the power outlet. Probably a bad ground. Could you have tried the other outlet in the row?

Has anyone used the Panasonic BT-LH2600WP monitor with Premiere CC and AJA T-TAP?

I'm considering investing in the Panasonic 26" BT-LH2600WP to use as a color correct monitor with my 27" imac and a aja T-tap (thunderbolt to sdi adapter). Has anyone done this or know if there are any quality issues?
thanks
Phil

Phil, I have a similar set up, but I have the 17-inch Panasonic SDI monitor. Premier works okay with the T-Tap, with some minor yet annoying bugs.
If I monitor audio via HDMI from the T-Tap, which I prefer, then my Panasonic monitor and its matching audio are about half a second out of sync with the iMac display. (But the HDMI audio is perfectly synced with the Panasonic SDI video.) This is annoying because both the Panasonic and the iMac are directly in front of me, and it's confusing seeing the out of sync iMac image. Definitely not something to show any clients.
If I switch my audio monitoring to "Adobe Desktop Audio," which is the feed from the iMac's headphone jack, this problem disappears. In that case, the Panasonic and the iMac display are almost perfectly matched up. However, now I'm getting lower quality audio, with added digital-to-analog processing in the signal.
Using the T-Tap is smooth and trouble free in Final Cut Pro X, but in Premier it is a bit buggy. That said, it works mostly okay.
While we're on the subject, can anyone suggest the best Preferences settings in Premier to use the AJA T-Tap? I may be missing something.
Thanks!

Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

Has anyone resolved the printing from Safari with borders issue??

I go to print from Safari and it won't let me set a border, it always prints right up to and over the left hand edge even when set at less than 100%!!
Can this be corrected??

So it sounds like you're starting with Safari's "Print" command, only there is no printer! I understand you're trying to end up with PDF, and that this worked for you in the past.
Here's an alternate approach to accomplish what you're trying to do: Take a screen shot.
You can either press Shift Command 3 to take a shot of your entire screen, or Shift Command 4 to take a partial screen shot (scroll the crosshairs over the rectangular region).
The resulting shot will end up on your desktop.

Has anyone installed the GIMP?

Has anyone installed the GIMP on their iBook? I have a couple questions because of the way their site is worded:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
In the requirements section are they just explaining why it doens't run on version 9 or earlier? It almost makes it sound like you have to go download that stuff (which is why I feel stupid for asking this). :-/
This site, http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ , which is the first site they list on the places to get GIMP, makes it sound like the application there is all you have to download, except for the extra install from the OS X Install Disk. Would that be all I needed?
I'd love to have this program on my iBook, so if anyone who has installed it could walk me through it, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
I myself have not tried GIMP.app because I have lost the urge to use X11. In order to use it, you will to download X11 from your OS X disk and install X11; not to be confused with X11SDK. I bet you can find a bunch of GIMP and X11 users in Mac OS X Technologies > Unix forum.
You may want to look at this previous post.

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

Has anyone removed the screen protector from Otterbox?

I have the Otterbox on top of Apple's anti-glare screen protector as suggested in this forum. I'm having way too much trouble getting a response out of buttons on the edge of the screen or in the corners. I touch and touch, even press hard but no response. Even getting the phone to snap a picture is near impossible. I have no problems when I remove the Otterbox case, so I know it isn't a screen issue. I love the feel and protection afforded by the Otterbox case and would like to use it. Has anyone removed the screen protector from their case, and if you have, can you comment on the subsequent performance of it? Of note, I use the Otterbox case because I have young kids who use the phone - we don't have a landline. In other words, it's not dust protection I'm looking for, but impact protection. I hate to tear up a $50 case if it won't function anymore.

I removed the screen protector that was part of the Otterbox case and it now works much better. Still have the Power Support anti-glare screen protector on it. Also removed the small cover over the camera lense and now my pictures are more clear. Finally, I removed the covers over the speakers and I can hear the speakerphone again. These mods made the case an A+ for me. A little less protection but much better functionality.
