How do the geniuses check the temps are within spec?

I'm curious how the Geniuses check the case temperatures to see if they are within spec. I spoke to someone on phone support, and they told me "anything 110-113 F or higher is out of spec", which is fine and I can test that with a laser temperature guage. But HOW are they testing that? If that's the max temp, should I be hitting the machine with a bunch of intensive stuff (e.g. maybe convert a large .AVI to .MOV?) or something else to simulate what they will do at the Apple Store?
If they are just going to turn it on and wait a few minutes while it idles, that's absurd I think (I heard this is what they do). Shouldn't they be taxing the machine a bit to get it up to temperatures that one would normally see?
I have an appointment tonight, but I'd like to test the temps before I go. So it'd be immenseley useful if I knew HOW they are going to test the temps.

Well, the Genius claimed the temperature was normal, but agreed to send it in for repairs. He said all MacBook Pro's run this hot, but I disagreed there.
I have a feeling they will most likely send it back with "no trouble found" :/ He did note that I was seeing a temperature of up to 145 F above the F2 key. I have the repair # so I'm going to call customer relations tomorrow and see if they will make sure they take this seriously.
I have a 9 1/2 month old daughter, who is picking herself up on the coffee table and if she touches it, I really don't want her getting burned on it. Granted, the heat is worse on the left speaker and above the F keys, but still, I wouldn't want my little sweetie anywhere near it :/
Also as a comparison, I turned my faucet on and let it get as hot as possible. It only got to 127 F. Second degree burns can happen at 55 C (131 F), so the area that's hitting 140 + is capable of a second degree burn. I'll use that as ammo with the customer care rep I think

  • How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs

    How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs from your music library to your device (iPhone or iPod) with the new iTunes? It was simple on the older version, but it isn't at all on this one. I'd appreciate any advice.

    Thanks. It did help. Plus I don't feel like such an idiot for asking probably a simple question because somebody else asked the same thing.

  • I just got a notification that the phone of somebody I don't want on my imessage account, has been added to my account. how do i double check that they are indeed on my account, and then remove them?

    I just got a message on my computer and my phone that an ex girlfriend of mine's phone was just added to my imessage account. For obvious reasons, I'm not okay with that. I just messaged her on facebook and double checked if the name of the phone sent to me is the label of her phone, and it was. She then sent me a screen shot of her phone's imessage settings page though saying that its only connected to her account. I dont believe that she is lying to to me, but I dont believe my computer is either. Is there a way I can double check what devices are linked to my accccount and remove one if need be?

    Hi Connor,
    The only "accounts" on iMessage are the accounts you have set up. Open iMessage, from the top toolbar click on Messages>Preferences>Accounts
    There you will see what accounts are set up on your iMessage app. If your ex-girlfriend is still set up in your Contacts, you may want to remove her from there.
    Cheers,

  • Anyone have any idea how long the servers are going to be down?

    I purchased a new iphone today and I can't activate it because the servers are down. This *****!

    I tried to activate my wife's iPhone this evening and after being put on hold for 20mins and going through the rountine of asking for my iPhone cell number and serial, I had to stop the tech guy from going further. Only after telling him that I couldn't complete the registration process that he mentioned the authentication servers being down....until Monday!!!
    I'm Apple Certified and checked the support site before calling. You would think that Apple would put something up stating the issue instead of having 100's if not 1000's of people calling with the same issue. You would think that ATT and Apple would've learn from the first time around on this issues.

  • How is the integral calculated within Biobench

    I am attempting to finish my thesis, and I can not find any literature on how the software calculates the intergral. Is the software utilizing continous analogue integration, constant reset time integration, or constant reset level integration? What value is it using for this?

    Hi,
    Please take a look at the attached spreadsheet. This calculation is based on the sample RLC Circuit which is located in the Samples Folder >> Analysis >> Monte Carlo Analysis.
    In essense the Sigma value is based on the Output Y Value and it shows what the peak value is on a specified distance from the calculated sigma of the entire data.
    Hope this helps.

  • The real reason why Apple claims the "whine" is within specs...

    ...the crew at Apple must be too old to hear it. :-]
    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/12/technology/12ring.html?ex=1150257600&en=d10bb7 67a0806d37&ei=5087%0A

    It hinders my performance to be annoyed for hours on
    end.
    Fair enough, that's a good point. Especially if someone went from a powerbook (which I found silent) to this machine (which is clearly not).
    Yes my machine does have the whine Mr. Che (we all know that they have different intensities), hence why I check posts like these to see if people have gotten word from APPLE as to its origin. But like others, I don't let it get to me - rather I wait for an official report of a "fix".
    I was merely saying that this is a SUPPORT FORUM, and it is annoying to open up posts to see that it has NOTHING to do with gaining support for problems; hence why I reply since I already looked at the post, so has now made it worth my time to put in my opinion.
    With that said, there should be a non-support section so users like the one above, (that like I even admitted, offered a very humorous post) has a place to put their non-technical gripes so that people that are LOOKING for SUPPORT, don't end up reading what they would consider nonsense.
    I understand I was going to get crap about this, but maybe it will hopefully open the administration's eyes to have a section for "non support" based chat - because it's important to laugh and complain about our problems with our device, but not here, where the goal is to gain support, not to complain or joke.
    But then again, what do I know? It's not like I don't have a "helpful response bar" under my name (like many of the users that provide real technical feedback here).

  • Has anyone verified the temp readings as of the 3.7 bios?

    Just flashed my bios to 3.7.  3.6 reported 38- 43°C idle, 60-64°C load.  3.7 show 32-36°C idle to 55°C load.  Temps look nice, but how accurate are they?  Has anyone used a probe to verify the accuracy of the temps?  I wonder how close the readings are to the real deal.

    We have legacy code running on legacy platforms that cannot be just retired unfortunately. It would be great if we could simply eliminate it overnight. The following is the code that I used to gauge whether the JVM has the new DST rule.
    int year = 2007;
    int month =10;
    int dateOfMonth = 1;
    int hour = 1;
    int minute = 0;
    GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, dateOfMonth, hour, minute);
    Date date = gc.getTime();
    System.out.println("displayed name=" + timeZone.getDisplayName() +
    " dst?=" + timeZone.useDaylightTime() +
    " date=" + date.toString() +
    " in dst?=" + timeZone.inDaylightTime(date));

  • Flash - how is the HD support - and HUGE image resolution question

    Hello Flash Forums,
    It's been a while since I posted, but I would love to get some information from some of the old pros on here as to best practices using flash for large scale environmental displays:
    1. Flash supports High Definition correct? I did a google search, and see that it does - but unsure whether I need a plug-in or it's just a setting? My question is more along the lines of - can the flash animation be highDef, or only the videos it displays?
    2. I am working on a very large (like 40ft tall) environmental graphic, and curious if anyone can tell me how you deal with images at that size? I remember vaugely, that they don't need to be 300dpi, but do i still need to maintain a certain resolution?
    Thanks for any help you can provide~!
    B

    Any limiting factors you'll be dealing with are likely more to do with what will actually be running/playing your Flash content and feeding that to this display. Whoever is responsible for setting up the computer system that displays this could answer that. Find out the resolution of their display set up. It will probably be a projection setup, that shows whatever media at a blown-up size. Ask them if 1080 HD video will work, and if they have used that before, and how did it look, etc.
    If the display ends up having a resolution of something significantly higher than what a graphic designer's "high" resolution monitor is, you don't necessarily have to have your Flash showing at 100% and fill all those pixels. You can have good results creating your Flash at a reasonale width & height, and then scaling that to 150%, 200%, etc.
    Flash has no problems dispalying 1080 HD video, and nothing is needed other than the Flash plugin. There continue to be Flash Player updates for improved video support, so be sure you get the latest version installed on whatever computer is playing this. YouTube started showing full HD size (1080) a while ago, and so you can always refer to that site to see how smooth the videos are.

  • How do I find out when openreach are connecting my...

    Ok so I'm now at the point of tearing my hair out....
    After a fault with our line almost 2 years ago I got talking to the engineer. He told me that the board in the exchange that runs our broadband is set for fibre but would need all the other work to be completed for it to go live i.e cabinet and cables layed ect ect but I should expect something to happen within a year. So I waited and waited and waited. I contacted BT whom I am a customer about said roll out in my area. They told me they do not have that information at which time the Openreach website line checker said the exchange was enabled but nothing else.
    So I waited some more and last October/November (2014) we had sub contractors ask if they could store their plant machinery on our land.. we asked what they were doing to which they replied "digging the road and laying the tubeing for fibre cables for BT Openreach" . They also told us that they were there just to dig the road and NOT lay the cables.
    After the work was completed I still heard nothing but then later found out that BT Openreach had installed the cables but had not connected said cables to our serving cabinet. We spoke to another Openreach engineer working outside our property and asked what they were doing and we were told its was work being carried out for "OUR" fibre broadband. (the cables stop at our property and go nowhere else we are literally at the end of the line).
    So I have waited some more. Contacted BT (my ISP) and have been told yet again they do not know that information.
    Again waited some more then tried the line checker via the openreach website this time I was greeted with your serving cabinet is now connected and ready for fibre orders..... guess what BT have told us that that cabinet is indeed live but our property is not connected. 
    Openreach (via website) tell me to contact my ISP and when I do (BT) they tell me they do not have that information. I am being sent in very small circles. I know the line is there I know the excahnge is active and my serving cabinet is live but I can't contact anyone to find out when this work is going to be completed. Obviously OpenReach would be my best bet but there is no contact details for end user enquiries.
    Some one is sat in an office sending out workmen/engineers. How on earth do I find this out???????????
    Before I get any replies I know I have fibre line to the property I know my cabinet is live and I now my excahnge is ready. It seems that the only thing that needs doing is the line to the cabinet need connecting/activating. I want to know when or how I go about finding this out. I am on these forums as a last ditch attempt. I find it very frustrating that time and money as been invested closing and digging the road and setting everything up for it not to be completed and then make it impossible to find out why. 

    Hi sharkbiscuit79,
    Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013.  PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
    However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
    Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
    Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

  • How the files are decreasing from RBS storage after some time i delete docs from document library, where shld I check the settings for this?

    HI
    I created a web application and configured  rbs storage ,
    I uploaded documents (for ex: 18 number)
     after uploaded  documents ,  and observed the RBS storage folder, number of files are increasing (39 number) , its working fine
    and also  I run the querys to check the rows increasing or not , (when I upload new doc rows are increased its fine also)
    select count(*) from alldocs
    Select count(*) from AllDocstreams
    but when I delete some docs from document library ,
    1)the doc itself deleted from document library
    2)when I check the rbs storage  there is no number of files are decreased(its still 39 files ), its same as  before doc deleted from doc library
    after some time I found the number of files are decreasing from RBS storage folder in sql server,
    here I want to know the how the files are decreasing from RBS storage  after some time, where  shld I check the settings for this? and how I control on it
    here how I know the settings for cleaning up orphan BLBOS how  these deleted BLOB
    adil

    1. WHen you delete the file from Sharepoint, it is still present in Recycle bin. This is a default setting in sharepoint for 30 days. Once files are deleted fro Recycle bin, it can also be delete from RBS
    2. There is a RBS cleanup job which deletes files from RBS. for more info check

    Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
    If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.
