How do i get the dust out of my imac

how do i get the dust out from the inside of my mac, it get hot?

If I hadn't done this regularly (once a year) I think it would be appropriate to vacuum the machine from ALL enrty ports first.I've put compressed air (from my compressor) into all the openings of my several iMacs without consequence. My compressor has a regulator on it and I keep the PSI at about 60. I start with the slot at the top rear of the machine, move to the A/C hole, then the several ports (USB, Headphone, Firewire, etc.) I also blow into the Superdrive slot. Then I Vacuum the memory slot area thoroughly with the memory modules removed. Earlier this spring I actually took the iMac apart and noticed that the fans get a dust buildup inside the impellors themselves. I don't think you could dislodge the buildup without air directed at them in close proximity

How can I get the best out of my battery life?

There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
Hi,
When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
Thank you.

Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

Hello i-am-big-david,
On a PC (Window 7) the iPhone shows as a digital camera in Windows Explorer under the computer section. You can import the photos from there. Sorry I'm not familiar with Windows 8, yet.

- Restore from backup

Overheating Problem dv6, help getting the dust out.

For a while now my Dv6 laptop has had a problem with over heating. It's around over 6 months old. Its continually getting hotter.
Now I figure it's the dust, as it is in a high dust environment, my desk I have it on constantly has a layer of dust on it no matter how many times I clean it. I do not currently have a cooling pad. (dv6 notebook)
What I want to do is clean out the dust from inside. Now I'm not an expert and I've never done it before, It looks kind of complicated to get the screws out etc. I found a guide on the net which seems good at taking it off but I'm not sure (http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=226910).
What I would like to know is:
1) Is there an official step by step guide or an equivelent guide I can follow.
2) Is there anything I need to know, not to do, to do, before/during taking the case off and cleaning ( what not to touch what not to unscrew etc)
3) How many cans of compressed air would I need to fully clean it.
4) Anything else I would need to know before attemping to clean it
Also I had a problem with a sort of rattling/loud humming, sound comming from the left side, can't determine wether its the harddrive or fan. It is an intermittent sound, it normally starts up when I turn on the laptop, but ends up stopping sometime later.
Any and all help is very welcome.

I installed iworks on my mac pro. how do i get the disk out of my laptop

I installed iworks on my mac and I don't know how to get the disk out. please tell me how to get the disk out of my mac. thanks

The Mac Pro is not a laptop. If you're talking about a MacBook Pro, you hold down the eject key at the far top right of the keyboard until the disk ejects. You can also drag the disk's icon from the desktop to the trash.

Poke a SIM card removal tool or small paper clip into the hole until the tray pops out.
