How hot is too hot for the the CPU?

Using a widget, I've noticed that my CPU-A is running at temps at or above 200 degrees Fahrenheit at times. Despite those temps, the fan is not kicking on.
Is this normal? I don't ever recall my previous Mac getting above about 140 degrees

This is a life saver and I've always had it
if your problem still persist after resetting.
just download this !!!

How long is too long for the IPod to download from ITunes??

I just swapped my busted IPod for a new one and the installation process seemed to be going fine. I've updated the new IPod, but now I've plugged it in to download my ITunes and it's still blinking Do Not Disconnect after 12 hours!! Isn't this too long? I mean, I have about 2500 songs, so I expected it to take a while, but this seems a bit extreme...what do I do?

You have a connection problem with the iPod. You might need to re-install iTunes.

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

Hi Hannah,
Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average ?

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average person? Would be cheaper to buy an external drive than to replace internal one? Any advice is appreciated

How certain are you the superdrive ONLY is at fault?
That depends on your skill level, if you grew up tearing things apart and putting them together, its absurd how easy it is.
For some however its too daunting. On a general skill level for the "average" person its about a 3 out of 10 in difficulty.
Can you order same? yes.

Since installing update on 6/25, printing pdf pages OK, but bank account activity type is too large for the page. How do I shrink the type?

Since installing Firefox v.3.6. 6 update on 6/25, printing bank statements in pdf format is still OK, but when I select the print option for my bank account activity the type is too large for the page. How do I shrink the type? We are running Windows XP.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox update on 6/25

Firefox doesn't display PDF files all by itself, it uses your PDF reader program which is also what handles the printing of that file type.
As far as the large printed font from Firefox, open File > Page Setup and see what the '''Scale''' is set to. 100% is usually the best setting, but you might need to use a smaller setting.

since upgrading to 10.7.4 my 21.5 inch imac the window is too large for the display. How can I make it fit?

Some possibilities:
If you have a Magic Mouse do Control+stroke downwards on the mouse.
Check System Preferences>Displays is set to the correct resolution
Check System references>Accesability and make sure Zoom isn't turned on.

All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
Any ideas?

You probably accidently zoomed the screen. Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom. Cntl - scroll up to zoom.

If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

It's really disappointing as a newly converted Apple customer who has already had his iPad stolen, that Apple just sits back and let's this happen.
I've viewed a number of posts regarding stolen iPads. Yes, I did have the "find my iPad" enabled. That's how I knew when the iPad was gone for good. It's a useless function in the case of theft because the thieves know how to hack into your iPad. It disappeared from my list of devices in the "find my iPad" utility that very same day.
Apple loves the fact that their devices get stolen all the time! That way they sell more of them. Theft could easily be significantly reduced if Apple chose to give users a means to report stolen devices on the Apple site. They choose not to do this. If the black market for Apple devices was limited to hackers who know they have a stolen device, the items wouldn't be such a hot commodity! Apple knows this... I guess they want to get their devices into as many households as they can.... Legally or not.
So for all you hard working folks out there, find a way to make sure your Apple products are secure because if they get stolen, you're out of luck. Apple refuses to help when they could easily do so.

regds,

This is a really hard post to read. See if you can take a bit of time to reword it, but one thing I do understand is that you are getting this error:
page header plus page footer too large for the page.
Typically, you can trust that if the error is thrown, it is true. E.g.; this is not one of those errors that says one thing, and means another. I suspect that you have some field(s) in the header(s) that grow, depending on the data. If there is too much data or the data is too long ( a text for example), the error will be thrown. To resolve this, see if placing the field(s) into a group footer / header will help.

Error: "This backup is too large for the backup volume."

Well TM is acting up. I get an error that reads:
"This backup is too large for the backup volume."
Both the internal boot disk and the external baclup drive are 1TB. The internal one has a two partitions, the OSX one that is 900GBs and a 32GB NTFS one for Boot Camp.
The external drive is a single OSX Extended part. that is 932GBs.
Both the Time Machine disk, and the Boot Camp disk are excluded from the backup along with a "Crap" folder for temporary large files as well as the EyeTV temp folder.
Time Machine says it needs 938GBs to backup only the OSX disk, which has 806GBs in use with the rest free. WTFFF? The TM pane says that "only" 782GBs are going to be backed up. Where did the 938GBs figure come from?
This happened after moving a large folder (128GB in total) from the root of the OSX disk over to my Home Folder.
I have reformated the Time Machine drive and have no backups at all of my data and it refuses to backup!!
Why would it need 938GBs of space to backup if the disk has "only" 806 GBs in use??? Is there anyway to reset Time Machine completely???

TM makes an initial "estimate" of how much space it needs, "including padding", that is often quite high. Why that is, and Just exactly what it means by "padding" are rather mysterious. But it does also need work space on any drive, including your TM drive.
But beyond that, your TM disk really is too small for what you're backing-up. The general "rule of thumb" is it should be 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up, but it really depends on how you use your Mac. If you frequently update lots of large files, even 3 times may not be enough. If you're a light user, you might get by with 1.5 times. But that's about the lower limit.
Note that although it does skip a few system caches, work files, etc., by default it backs up everything else, and does not do any compression.
All this is because TM is designed to manage it's backups and space for you. Once it's initial, full backup is done, it will by default then back-up any changes hourly. It only keeps those hourly backups for 24 hours, but converts the first of the day to a "daily" backup, which it keeps for a month. After a month, it converts one per week into a "weekly" backup that it will keep for as long as it has room
What you're up against is, room for those 30 dailies and up to 24 hourlies.
You might be able to get it to work, sort of, temporarily, by excluding something large, like your home folder, until that first full backup completes, then remove the exclusion for the next run. But pretty soon, it will begin to fail again, and you'll have to delete backups manually (from the TM interface, not via the Finder).
Longer term, you need a bigger disk; or exclude some large items (back-them up to a portable external or even DVD/RWs first); or a different strategy.
You might want to investigate CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper!, and other apps that can be used to make bootable "clones". Their advantage, beyond needing less room, is when your HD fails, you can immediately boot and run from the clone, rather than waiting to restore from TM to your repaired or replaced HD.
Their disadvantages are, you don't have the previous versions of changed or deleted files, and because of the way they work, their "incremental" backups of changed items take much longer and far more CPU.
Many of us use both a "clone" (I use CCC) and TM. On my small (roughly 30 gb) system, the difference is dramatic: I rarely notice TM's hourly backups -- they usually run under 30 seconds; CCC takes at least 15 minutes and most of my CPU.

This backup is too large for the backup volume - ridiculous Size!!!

Hi .. i own a macbook 13" aluminium, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2 , and i change my internal hard drive to a 500Gb.
I bought 1Tb Western Digital My Book USB External Drive to use it for back ups using Time machine.. at the beginning worked great, when i changed my hard drive i restore everything in lest than 2 hours.
Then one time, it said that the hard drive where going out of space, and i said to delete the oldest backups, it erase everything and kept the last back up. Since then, it came a message
*_+This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 2.73EB but only 995 Gb are available.*+_
its ridiculous, when i go to the time machine preference, it said that the full size back up it would take 83Gb only.
I tried everything, formatting the unit, taking out the partition , and making it out again, it makes the first full back up, but then the same message...
Please anyone... i am desperate
Thanks Again
Daniel

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That message seems to indicate that something is corrupted on your internal HD. Do a +*Verify Disk+* on it, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
If that finds errors, you'll have to use the procedure in the yellow box there to Repair them.
If that does not find errors, Restart your Mac and do a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 there.
I tried everything, formatting the unit, taking out the partition , and making it out again, it makes the first full back up, but then the same message...
What partition? Are there multiple partitions on your TM drive? How large is the one for Time Machine? Check the setup per #C1 of the Troubleshooting Tip.

This backup is too large for the backup disk

I have a 1TB time capsule used to backup two MacBooks. One backup file is 817GB (MacBook 1) and the other one is 137GB (MacBook 2).
I get an error message when running the backup on MacBook 2. It says "Time Machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 55.64GB but only 42.98GB are available"
I always though the TimeCapsule would automatically remove older backupos to make space and you would never run into such an issue.
Please not that my MacBook 1 was stolen a while ago so I do not know how to reduce the size of the larger backup.

Usually that's true, but not always. One exception is, Time Machine will delete the oldest backups of the Mac it's running on, but not any other Mac's backups. That's probably what you've run up against here.
Please not that my MacBook 1 was stolen a while ago so I do not know how to reduce the size of the larger backup.
First, connect to the TC via Ethernet.
If you want to delete all the backups from MacBook 1, double-click your Time Capsule via the Finder, then you should see two +sparse bundles,+ one for each Mac. Delete the one for the old Mac. That will take a long time, even via Ethernet. If it's taking extremely long, see the blue box in #Q5 of [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Or, you can delete individual backups of the other Mac. To see them, you'll need the +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #17 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). To delete individual backups, see #12 in the FAQ, and don't miss the pink box there.

A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.
