i boght an iphone 4s and it gets hot easily, is it normal? does iphone 4s get hot just for surfing the web?
It all depends on the reception. If you cell reception is bad, iPhone will try harder and it will get warmer and uses more battery.
For your info, iPhone 4S is a dual core A5 chip.

HI, is it necessary to "clean" your Mac? I'm not sure what that means or what it does but I've been getting ads that offer to clean it. Would doing that make surfing the web faster? Thanks!
Suggestions for Mac maintenance
Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off-site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
Keep your software up to date. Software Update can be set to notify you automatically of updates to the Mac OS. Some third-party applications have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless. The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until recently, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous. There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable. Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a known corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance. The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Don’t waste money on Disk Warrior or anything like it. -
My Macbook Pro 15 inch gets super hot when surfing the web... What is wrong?
My Macbook Pro that I got in April this year gets superhot when I'm surfing the web, especially when I'm using Safari. Also when I'm using photoshop, which I can partly understand since it's a heavy program, but it gets so hot that it burns my hand if I touch the underneath, and that can't be right, can it? This is despite having it on a flat surface.
Also, I do not know much about RAM and stuff, but when I'm just surfing the web on Safari it uses 1 GB of the RAM memory, and I've tried with Firefox and it uses 500 mb. I don't even think photoshop uses that much when I'm editing big files. What is normal, and can that have something with my computer getting as hot as it gets? It also gets really, really loud.Install istat menus:

Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
When the MBP gets hot, post images of both istat pro temperature display and Activity Monitor for evaluation:

my ipod touch 4g becomes very hot when play games or surf the web for more than 30 minutes. does any body know why?
Maybe the solution is that you iPod is slow is because you are not closing your apps after you use them. To do this you must:
1. Press the Home Button to get out of that app
2. You will return to the Home Screen
3. Click the Home Button twice, (do this quite fast, But not TOO fast)
4. A bar with all your apps that you have come out of will be on the bottom of the screen
5. Hold down one of those apps
6. They will start to "jiggle"
7. A little red circle will be beside all of the "jiggling" apps
8. Press that little red circle and those apps will close (NOTE: This is NOT deleting your apps)
9. Now you apps are closed NOT deleted
10. Your iPod will now speed up in: Browsing, downloading, syncing and much more
11. (Bonus) - To DELETE an application do the same thing ( But not clicking the Home Button twice) and all of your apps which you downloaded will "jiggle" and there will be an black circle with an X in it, click that X to DELETE that app and a dialog will pop up and say: "Do you really want to delete this app?" If you want to: Click yes.
And that is how to speed up your iPod
Bonus) - is how to DELETE an App
Thank You,

My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?
Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard. -
Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
After upgrading to OS Mavericks, I realized that the Partition for Windows is gone. I have really important data on this drive without a back up. Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde -
i just bought this i5 13" macbook yesterday and just as i was using it to surf the web on safari, it was feeling quite hot on the base. i do not hear any noise from the fans. advise please?
It's totally normal unless it's burning your skin, being hot or warm is normal. Try not to cover the back/bottom where the screen meets the base too much that's where the vent is.

Can't open Safari. I get "Can't find server". I get NCSW21 in my address bar. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Need help. Thanks
Hi Professor66,
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:
OS X Mavericks: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out". The panel gives me three possible causes, none of which are correct and tells me to "Try again". Sometimes when I try again the site appears, sometimes it does after several tries and sometimes it never does. I called my IP, Cox and they told me it is a result of something Microsoft put out in their updates to IE (presumably to discourage people from using Firefox). Can you help me get rid of this problem?

You should just be able to erase it using Disk Utiilty. I did with my 8Gb.
If not I have a USB deep format tool, but it only works with Windows: http://tinyurl.com/mwor6s9
You can download that and unzip it, then run it on a PC to fully erase and format the flash drive. Format it in FAT, and then the Mac will read and mount it so you cna once again format it with HFS extended for Mac use. -
The equipment:
Iphone 4S 16gb VZW with personal hotspot
Ipad 3 32gb wi-fi only
The issue:
I turn on the personal hotspot on the phone, connect to the ipad over wi-fi or bluetooth and surf the web flawlessly. I turn on the VPN on the ipad and cannot access my work network. I check the IP address of the phone prior to the connection of the VPN and it registers a VZW IP that the phone is supposed to broadcast. I turn the VPN in and the ipad reflects the VPN IP address that I'm trying to connect to back to the phone and THAT is what the phone tries to project. My RMS vendor and our network provider have both been identified as not being the culprit. I've spent about 8 hours on the phone with an IOS Senior Advisor and we are both perplexed by this. He has been gracious enough to maintain daily contact with me and he's forwarded it up to those higher than him.
This worked back in April of this year and quit working in May or June. That means it worked on IOS5 and quit working IOS 5.
Anyone else having these issues?This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
I was surfing the web and got tricked into downloading MacProtector. It says my system is infected! Of course they want almost $80 to register the program so I can then use it to clean up my machine. Is this a good program?? Should I get something like Norton antivirus instead??
Yes, turning off Javascript works, but turning it on and off is a pain if one has to make a trip to the preferences.
Why many recommend the NoScript Add-on as one can drag a "allow" button to Firefox's toolbar and turn on scripts on a site per site, case per case basis.
NoScript also protects against other web nasties, like Clear click jacking and zillions of other web based trickery.

Apple Support Forums works fine without Javascript running, I do it all the time, it also supports HTTPS encrpytion too.
It might be that I'm not seeing a lot with Javascript and other things turned off, but the post box functions etc. work just fine.
Maybe Apple is heading towards no scripts running on all their products?
First Flash gets the axe, then Java is coming next and perhaps finally Javascript? hmmmm?
Smart move possibly.
Nope it's the same with it on or off. -
E71 gets HOT while talking or surfing the web, als...
My phone was fully charged (9'th charge since new) 6 hours ago, now i'm down to 2 bars on the battery meter. :-(
When i talk or surf the back cover of the phone gets HOT, i'm guesstimating 45-50 degrees (centigrade)
Yours to?It could be a hrdware issue with yours, kushti.
Changing service provider will not make a direct influence really, but If you have one which has bad coverage where you live, it will make your phone use more power to search for and obtain signals - hence it will heat up some more.
When used the phone will get more or less hot as it uses power and creates heat. - However, it depends on how much... It's hard for us to know if your phone has an issue, but if it is EXTREMELY hot, I would take it to a Nokia care point straight away and make them have a look at it. -
Last week I set up a location based reminder in notifications to test it out. Worked great. However, I can't get rid of it. It does not show up on any of the pages, either reminders or completed. I can search and find it, shows it should be in reminders page, but it is not there for me to remove. Any ideas?
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
