I know you can't "turn off" tv but its getting hot in standby..

Hi
I know you can't "turn off" tv but its getting hot in standby, I havent used it all day, and the top is still really warm. I know this is the heat sink, but why is it getting so hot when in standby and doing nothing, for many hours?
To turn off I realise will have to switch off at mains. Is this recommended? when should I do it? when not syncing and in standby?
I'm a little worried by how hot it is, when never used for about 48 hours and in standby
cheers

........ leaving it on 24/7 doesnt cost that mch though does it?
All depends on how much your electricity costs, at 10 p/c per kilowatt/hour, your tv using around 18 W in stand-by will cost you about 30 1/4 p/c a week.
If cost is a factor for you then consider switching it off overnight, don't however worry too much about the heat. It may appear to run hot because of its unusual heat dissipation, however if you were to place your hand on the heat sync surrounding your cpu on your mac/pc, you'd likely realise comparatively the tv isn't excessively warm. (The CPU's in my mac are currently running at 44-56 C for example)
I don't particularly see much wrong in turning the unit off from time to time, (although I'm not sure I like the idea of not knowing if the HDD is writing at the time) assuming it isn't excessive. Excessive switching is not good for most devices since strain on mechanical parts and stress caused to electrical components due to large temperature variations can lead to early failure.

Finder extremely slow on a macbook pro, you can not turn off, and the color wheel appears to move any file

I have a MacBook Pro 2GHz i7 early 2011, 16GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 500GB standard. The OS is mountain lion and a month ago my finder is very slow, when moving a file appears the color wheel, also when you send a file to the trash. When you turn it on, the finder takes a long time to be active, the other apps work perfectly. When you turn it off stays white background with the spinning wheel, but never fails to go off. Heat much m'as than before and make lots of noise sinks. Sometimes also starts with the date changed to 2008, not always.
I tried to repair disk permissions, reset pvram even I formatted from a usb and the problem continues.
Please help.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A common cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I'm getting the iPhone5S and I know you can use the same Apple ID but I have to delete my details off my current phone, how can I keep my account so I can use it again on my new phone?

When I sold my iPod I had to delete my apple account but I want to use this apple account on my soon to be new phone the iphone5S, I know you can use the same address but if I delete the account on my phone will I still be able to get it back on my new phone? And what about purchases and iBookstore? If I've purchased items will I be able to get them on my new device?

Yes, you only have to make an icloud backup on your old phone and restore from that backup on your new phone. If everything goes well, you can safely restore your old phone.

You had to have turned logging on somehow, so it depends on how you turned it on.
If you are using native TopLink api such as Sessions.xml check the documents here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b32441/sescfg.htm#BABFDFFD
if Using JPA, its done in persistence.xml through properties as described here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/configure-logging-092723.html

Can I Turn OFF the Glowing Apple Logo?

I like the logo, don't get me wrong. It's that I'm a college student and I know I would be kind of distracted by a glowing apple. What do you guys think? Any solutions?

Abi,
You can't turn off the glowing apple without turning off the backlight on the LCD display. If you do this, then you can't see the LCD display.
Any good instructor will only be distracted by a glowing apple for about 2.54 seconds. They'll get used to it pretty quick, especially if they are already used to other students taking notes with a laptop.
Any fellow student who is distracted by your glowing apple is looking in the wrong direction. Don't worry about them, they probably have ADD, and would be distracted by a flying insect.
Seriously, my experience is that people will comment on what a nice looking computer it is . . . but when it comes down to the time to be serious it's not all that distracting.

HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts. There seems no way to turn this off. I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment. There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8. Any ideas?

Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars. Thanks!
Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months. So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

I can't turn off picture frame by using the settings passcode...the button won't turn it off.

I can't turn off picture frame on the lock screen. The button accessed through settings won't let me turn it off. How do I do this? Thanks.

You can only turn off Picture Frame if you have a passcode lock set on the iPad - if you don't have a passcode lock then the on/off slider is protected

Can I turn off mail threads?

When I get Pictures in a email I get duplicates because it is titled 33 (example) pictures for you and it pulls up every grouping of 33 (example) pictures from previous emails. It loads every grouping and is not necessary. can I turn this feature off?

You can try turning off "Organize by conversation" in the View menu. Also consider using "Classic Layout" in Mail Preferences, Viewing.

How can I turn off the FileVault?

How can I turn off the FileVault? It keeps saying 'Encryption paused', even I connected the power adapter.
What impacts does it have on my Macbook Pro if I cannot turn off the FileVault?
Thank you!

If you don't already have a current backup of all data, back up before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the password again.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
from the Format menu.
You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Tim

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7? I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English. Thank you.

The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??
If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

Hi Nico,
we patched up to BI 4.1 SP 3 Patch 2
