High Temperature on iMac 27" 3.4Ghz 4GB RAM 2GB RADEON CARD....

Im a little worried, a lot actually, all im doing is browsing the forums, installed flash and and a few updates and thats it, temps are:
HD =126F
CPU =110F
AMB =76F
GPU DIODE =171F
GPU HS =162F
MEM CONT. =124F
OPT DRIVE =122F
POWER SUPPLY 2 =137F
OPT DRI =1150 RPM
HARD DRIVE =1099 RPM
CPU FAN =939RPM
Havent even started WoW yet!
Please help/advise, is this bad, normal or even good(good - i doubt).
Thanks

Apple doesn't publish maximum temps however there are safeguards built into the machine, if it senses it's going to overheat it will warn you and then shut down if you ignore the warning. It's VERY rare this ever occurs.

I am running 10.6.8 on an iMac7,1 with 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM. Other than usual Apple apps, I also run Microsoft Office for Mac. Am i better off upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks rather than trying to go to Yosemite ? Thanks!

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 7,1 system with 2.4GHz processor and 4Gb RAM. I also use Microsoft Office for Mac.
I am wondering whether i should upgrade to Yosemite or first go to Mountain Lion or Maverics to avoid sluggishness and other potential issues with using Yosemite on this iMac.

i had thought Snow Leopard was no longer supported hence my idea to upgrade.
It isn't being supported any longer.
If you haven't done this you might want to consider doing it for security.

LEOPARD 10.5.1 - Macbook Pro 15" 2.4GHz 4GB ram - crashing, doesn't wake up

I've 2.4GHz 15" Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM and latest 10.5.1 LEOPARD. I'm getting very upset about the LEOPARD as it's not stable at all compared to Tiger. I've frequent crashes, see photo below.
As described in other topics on this forum, i have simultaneous problem with the laptop not waking up from a sleep mode. The screen is black and the keybord and poer button is unresponsive. I have to hold he power button to FORCE-shut down the computer.
I've done clean LEOPARD installation, not an upgrade.
LEOPARD is getting a lot of unwanted attention with all it's flaws - just google for it.
I was imagining that apple is working hard on this problem, but over the time i'm getting tired of this and although i love the new features i need a stable system - that's why i have MAC and windows!

It looks/sounds to me as if you have a problem with the "Hall Effect" switch which activates sleep when the computer is closed, MarukoDT.
THis isn't actually in the hinge, but is activated by a magnet in the lid when the computer is closed.
"Sleep Cause 5" is certainly closing the lid on my MBP under OSX 10.6.2.
In fact you can reproduce symptoms very similar to yours by simply placing an MBP13 on top of an older Polycarbonate MacBook. If you do this then the magnet in the MacBook activates the Hall effect switch in the MBP13 even when the MBP13's lid is open. Simply moving the computer off the MB will immediately allow it to wake. (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917 for the Apple KB item on the matter. I've done this myself when sharing a power adaptor and was about to launch in to major "troubleshooting mode" when I remembered having read this article a few days earlier! )
So, assuming you don't have your MBP stacked on top of an MB, and don't work on top of of an MRI machine or other things with substantial magnets , I'd be thinking that it is a defective Hall Effect switch itself that is causing your woes. If so, it is a workshop warranty repair, I'm afraid.
(There are many other possible causes of sleep problems. Generally they involve issues with third party software or third party hardware, but your case is different. I no longer have the log files from my own accidental experiences of this when sitting the MBP on the MB, but from memory they actually looked very like yours.)
Cheers

Is there any way to upgrade my mid-2007 imac to more than 4GB RAM?

From what i've read it sounds like 4GB RAM is the most that my iMac is capable of using, but i' m hoping that isn't true. even though it operates plenty fast for my current needs, it would always be nice to have the option. any info will be appreciated. thanks.

Does the MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 duo (2,4ghz - 4gb RAM) match with an audio dj mixer Pioneer DDJ SR

I bought a Audi DJ mixer Pioneer DDJ SR and i want to know if it matches with a Macbook pro core 2 Duo, 2,4 GHZ, 4gb RAM, 250gb DDR?
If not, then can i make it match by adding 4gb RAM or changind DDR to SSD, or others?
Thanks for your help.
(I am french and my English is not so good, so please let me know if my question is not clear)

Hi Rick,
Given that the MBP has a 4200RPM HD in it now, any 5400 or 7200 is likely to yield a significant speed increase during operations requiring HD access.
If it is a 15" MBP, make sure you get a 9.5mm high, 2.5 inch SATA HD. If it's a 17", a 12.5mm high HD will fit.
I don't believe any brand of current HDs is significantly better/worse than the others. That said, I think Seagate is at a low ebb of quality right now. I think Hitachi is at the top. WD blacks seem to be consistently reliable. Without question, others will have different opinions (it's like asking if a Toyota or Ford or Honda, etc. is best). I really like the idea of Seagate's hybrid drive, but there is a real mixed bag of reviews on it. It's first gen, and there are issues to be worked out/improved upon. Check out newegg for 200+ user reviews.
AFA 5400 vs 7200, all other things being equal (rarely the case) the faster drive is likely to give better response, but don't expect night and day difference. All other things being equal, it's also likely to run hotter, reduce run time on battery, and increase vibration. There's also a bit of a cost premium.
Whichever you end up with, remember to backup, backup, and backup (I highly recommend a clone and Time Machine).
The odds are you/she will be happier with any of the 5400s or 7200s over the current 4200, and a new drive should easily help you/her get another year or more out of the MBP. Good luck with the decision.

MacBook 2.4ghz 4GB RAM.... will it run COD 4 Mac Version?

Hi,
Excited about the new COD4 for the Mac being released, but will the wee MacBook I bought a few weeks ago be able to handle it what with the integrated graphics card?
Many Thanks,
Baz, Belfast, Northern Ireland!!

The GMA3100 that's in the Macbook can barely handle COD2. The only way you would be able to play COD4 on a laptop is if you were to get a Macbook Pro.

Firefox crashing & freezing in "4GB ram+2GB GPU support"

as u can c in d images firefox is freezing, even in 4GB & GPU Config machine. what is solution to dis?

Could you pls re-attach the image.
As for the heavy memory usage, you can try this:
Type "about:memory" in your addressbar and then press the button that says "minimize memory usage". This should free some RAM memory.
Thanks

How will Logic Pro X run with a 2006 iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram)?

I have a 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo. I am not planning on using plug-ins, I am a beginning artist and Logic Pro seems to have more than what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Is 4GB ram enough for the 2.93 imac?

I'm buying a imac 2.93 gh, 4Gb ram, 640 hd. How much ram does the OS 10.5 use? How can I find this info?

I am currently running 4gb ram on a G5 dual 2.0
and am thinking about moving to imac 2.93.
Will I see much difference in performance?
How about performance difference between imac vs ppc on snow leopard?
I usually run at same time:
- safari
- mail
- ichat
- together
- The Hit List
- MacJournal
- NetNewsWire
- pages
I also run very frequently and sometimes at same time as above...
- iphoto
- itunes
Periodically I get a lot of page outs
but I haven't been able to detect a pattern as to why.
Does it seem like 4gb Ram will do ok with this on the imac?
I keep trying to find an article on how memory is handled in new imacs as opposed to how it was handled in ppc...any suggestions where I could read about this?
thanks.

Satellite L300-145 - BSOD appears if I install 4GB RAM

Hi all
i have this Satellite L300-145 PSLB0E-03601LPT and I want to install 4GB RAM but when I install 4GB on SO boot BSOD appears.
I try to change with other brand memorys with equal modules, I try to install Windows 7 64bit, Linux 9.10 64bit and it the same things. I try also to update BIOS but it the same.
I think it is Remap memory feature on bios but doesnt have that option.
So what i need to do?
My laptop have now 3GB
CPU: T2390 1,86Ghz 533Mhz
CHIPSET: GM965
RAM:2GB DDR2 533Mhz
HDD:Hitachi 200GB
After upgrade
CPU: T8300 2.4Ghz 800Mhz
RAM: 2GB DDR2 667Mhz
HDD: Seagate 7200.4 250GB
I realy need 4GB

Im sorry i confuse with other chipset.
But if i can get 800Mhz and 3GB 667Mhz Dualchannel its very good.
But i dont understand the BSOD.
This is my test:
1) I install 3 difrent 2GB modules and i get the same BSOD on boot OS, but i can enter on bios and i can see on memory info. 4096MB.
2) I try to instal 3GB and laptop boot well but i find one problem if i put Bank0:1GB and Bank1:2GB laptop boot ok but if i swap i get the same error BSOD.
I think one slot cannot address 2048MB of size.
If i install only 2GB on that slot i get the same BSOD.
I have 3 tips of ram
2GB 533Mhz 667Mhz and 800Mhz with difrent brands and chips.
why i this BSOD only appears on boot OS and i can enter on bios without a problem?
Sry for my poor english
Best regards

IMac 2.4GHz (MA877LL) refuses to boot with 4GB ram, boots only with 3 GB

iMac 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo 20" Anodized Aluminum (MA877LL)
iMac 2.4GHz (MA877LL) refuses to boot with 4GB ram, boots only with 3 GB
2 x2GB Geil GX2S6400-4GDCA
Computer refuses to boot with both chips installed 4 GB.
Computer will boot and recognize 3 GB..( Apple 1 GB + 2 GB GEIL)
Both Geil Chips will boot, when paired with the Apple 1 GB chip.
machine recognizes 3 GB ram.
Please advise...

Ensure the computer's RAM is fully seated down, and then try resetting the PRAM by holding down options-command-P-R at boot. The computer will make the boot chimes and then reset and chime again. When it chimes the second time release the keys and let the thing boot normally. Hopefully that will let it recognize the RAM.

Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048 MB
Video: Software Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8
I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol. This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C. The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem. By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise.
I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly. An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
The Temperature Specification for this model is
Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
Storage Temp.47°c
Clearly the temperature my iMac is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely. Has anyone experienced this problem.

When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.
