How fast is your MB Unibody 2.4 fan when watching Hulu?

When ever I watch any flash based video over the web my fan goes 6000+. Is this normal? How fast is your fan?

I sold my 1st gen MacBook and bought a MacBook Pro because of the same problem. I have a 2008 aluminum MBP now with the same graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor) as yours and my fans stay at 2000RPM when watching Hulu.
Your fan may be running high because you only have one fan compared to mine having 2, and the interior of your unit is smaller than mine, thus causing more heat buildup.
FWIW...My 1st gen MacBook Air's fan runs 6000RPM when watching Hulu on it.

How fast does your Windows boot up?

Out of curiosity, how fast does your Windows bootup?
I have Windows XP, and the logo screen displays for about 11.06 seconds. How about yours, and what can be done to make Windows work faster?

Right click on My Computer > Manage > at the bottom on the left double click on Services + Applications > Services then double click on Print Spooler and and select startup type Manual.
Also more fast bootup stuff... Search google for XP SP2 Beta... install that > ive found it great so far.. MS has got it so it disables a load of unneeded services so PC will boot / shut down quicker.. Remember it is only a BETA atm.. so use at your own risk.. ive had no probs tho.. pc seems quicker
Cheers.

Thanks Flam3h, it most definitely is the printer spooler. The problem is that if you set it to manual, your printer will not work. When you go to print something, Windows tells you that you must first install a printer. This is the only service I've found where the manual setting will not work. You either have to set it as automatic or go into services and start it each time you want to print. I'm just wanting to know if anyone else has this problem and knows of a work around to allow the manual setting to work.
I don't know if I'm ready to try service pack 2 yet. If I do, I will definitely make a ghost first

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

When MobileMe goes down the drain, you will need to move your website to standard hosting. Depending on your site size, I recommend A Small Orange, as the Tiny hosting plan they have is big enough for most iWeb sites and much cheaper then shelling out $6 a month for most of the other big names, and if you check out their forum, several of the members have coupon codes in thier signatures. Also, their customer service is great and very fast in getting back to you.
To upload, I publish the iWeb site to a folder, then using Cyberduck upload it to the host. Cyberduck beats iWeb's FTP uploader because Cyberduck only replaces updated pages, instead of uploading the entire site.
I hope this helps!

Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?

Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?
Seems rather unfair to pay nearly £40 for each individual episode when each other season has the option to buy the entire season for £9.99 (including seasons after season 3)

Just recieved this from iTunes Store Support:
Missy here. I am a Senior Advisor from the iTunes Store. Your request has been escalated to me by Irish.
I understand you have some concerns regarding the numbering of the episodes for "How I Met Your Mother, Season 3". I can certainly appreciate your concerns and I'm happy to offer some additional information about this.
Episode 17, is a music video that accompanies the episode "Sandcastles In the Sand" however it is not available on the UK iTunes Store. This is why 17 has been omitted.
Apple is constantly expanding the iTunes Store's catalog of music, audiobooks, videos, and movies. To ensure that your request is considered, please submit it through the Request page at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
This solves the issue. I have filed a request to get the music video added to the iTunes which hopefully it does, completing Season 3 of How I Met Your Mother.

How fast does your MBP battery die?

Hi everyone,
I've just received my third Macbook Pro battery. I used it ONCE and now it's down to 98% capacity. What is wrong with those batteries? Are yours degrading as fast?
Detail: I received the brand new battery. Charged it to 100%, left it charged for a few hours, and then drained it until the MBP went to sleep, left it until the LED went out (standard calibration procedure). After subsequent charging the capacity is only 5420 out of 5500 mAh.
Battery one was nearing 70% capacity after 3-4 months and was bulging (swollen battery issue). Battery two had less than 50% capacity left after less than 6 months and would cut power with no prior notice.
MBP 1,8 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Clearly your first two batteries were bad. Don't freak out just yet, though. That magic number - 5500 mAh - is the nominal capacity of a new battery for a 15" MBP. Did you actually check the full charge capacity before you calibrated it? Because nominal means "stated or expressed but not necessarily corresponding exactly to the real value" (see definition #3 in the dictionary widget). So, it's possible that you actually started with a 5400 mAh battery which imporved with calibration, or a 5600 mAh battery that dropped more than 2%, etc. Point is, there have been some bad batteries (thank you, Sony!) and you were unlucky to get two in a row, but don't assume a 2% drop means you got a 3rd lemon.
I've got just over 60 cycles, and my battery 'health' fluctuates between 90% and 97% - and yes, I mean fluctuates- as in falls and rises - from charge to charge. Sometimes it will drop 3% in one charge cycle, then rise 5% the next, etc...
So, relax and just keep an occasional eye on it.

How fast does your Nano FULLY charge via computer?

The specs say about 3 hours, but my Nano says it's done in 2. Is this normal or did I somehow screw up the calibration on my battery? Anyone have insight? Thanks!

Hey iPodDiva,
The iPod will fast charge to 80% over the first 2 hours and then trickle charge to 100% over the last 2 hours.
These web pages will provide more detailed information.

How fast does your iPad die?

What's normal is what I'm trying to find out. Mine seems to have began to die extremely fast in the past week or so.

I restored my iPad to factory settings. Seems to be fine for now. 12:00 @ 87% now 12:25 @ 84%.....much much better!.

How fast export your A3

I export full quality jpeg files from a 500D RAW file and i think A3 is really slow. I had export 18JPEGs in 9min. so 30sec for 1.
Can anybody with an 500D test i this is a normal speed for A3.
LR2.6 was definitely faster...

I am running A3 on a iMac 3.06 GHz with 4GB memory. Library is about 200GB. Selecting 60 canon 5D RAW files and exporting to jpg original size takes less than 60 sec
This is a library that was a A2 library before I upgrade.

How fast do your rechargeable batteries wear out?

i have a realtively new imac and i have an apple battery charger to recharge the batteries. i find when i change the batterries in the mouse they only last for about a week when the battery level gets down into the 20s % and i have to change the batteries. i use the computer 8 hours a day at least. is this normal for the batteries to wear out so fast? are they defective? i did an experiment and used regualr batteries and they lasted longer.

That could be about right. I don't use my iMac nearly that much, and when I do it is mostly the mouse. I have to change the mouse batteries 3-4 times as often. Maybe once a month using it a few hours at a time, with some days not at all (have a MBP too). As to the difference between regular alkalines (which came with the KB and mouse) and the Apple recharge ones I bought later, I agree the Apple ones go faster.
