I want to try and keep my iMac cooler , would this work ..?

My new iMac 24 inch is working fine , the only thing is its getting very hot on the casing at the top, I think this may be due to the fact it is working in a very hot room, the iMac sits on a nice and clear desk top well away from the wall , the room is well ventilated with all the windows open, but the room temperature get’s very hot and there’s no room air conditioning . I was wondering if I placed a fan on the desk top
To blow some air onto the iMac’s case , this may help reduce the machine from getting hot ..? . Where does the iMac draw its cooling air from , the bottom or top of the casing..? and do you think that putting a fan on the desk would reduce the iMac’s
Casing temperature in any way ..?

Is the ambient temperature within the operating limits stated for the iMac? (Operating temperature: 50°F to 95°F - 10°C to 35°C) If so, why worry about some Heath-Robinson cooling arrangment. If the heat is being dissipated out of the iMac then it's doing the job it's designed to.
If you look at the iStat Pro widget:
are there any that are actually higher than they should be. The metal case of the iMac acts as a heat-sink so it will feel warm in places whereas other computers may be far hotter inside but feel cooler to the touch.

Upgrade to iPhone 5 and keep unlimited data.. will this work???

Here is my situation..
The wife and I upgraded to the iPhone 4's right when Verizon got them, and got the unlimited data plan. Now as I understand it, to upgrade to the iPhone 5 directly, I have to choose a new plan since unlimited is no longer offered, or I can purchase a new phone at full retail or from a 3rd party and still keep the unlimited.
Now, we have been planning to get 2 more lines for our oldest sons this year. Our current plan is in my wifes name. I think I should be able to start a NEW account in my name, order 2 iPhone5's with the shared plan and get them all activated. Then simply switch phones.
I see no problem with doing this.. but there may be some fine print somewhere.
Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks!!

Ok here is what you do. get 2 new lines and get the iPhone 5 for those 2 new lines.then move the iPhone's 5 to y'all's lines. then give your kids yalls old iphones this should work anything else may make you lose your unlimited data. for the 2 new lines yes you will have to day for data..
Hope this helps

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

HT201269 Bit of a tough one...I have a hard drive, iPod and iphone synced to an itunes on a computer that's been irreparably broken. Just bought a macbook pro and want to try and salvage everything onto the itunes on there. Any ideas?

Yeah it seems to be fine although I'm a bit reluctant to fire it up with the Mac just incase. Thanks for the response btw

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

I purchased a song from iTunes and when I try to play it I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file.

Delete the file, then download again from the iTunes Store, Purchased section (in the Quick Links sidebar).

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working...

I am new to Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working on Slide 7. What can I try?

Will you be delivering this content from an LMS? If so, then the LMS should handle the menu. Break your project into separate modules and use the Multi-SCORM Packager to create a bundled set.
If you are not using an LMS, but ARE serving content from a web server, then YES you could create a menu module that you use to launch the other modules.
If you are intending to serve this content from a LAN or CD ROM, then you could create a normal HTML web page with hyperlinks to launch individual modules.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

Is this with the power adaptor that was included with your iPad 2 purchase?
The same power adaptor and USB dock connector cable charges your husband's iPad?
If so, sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Have you tried powering the iPad off and on and/or a reset which is similar to a computer restart?
If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
Thanks

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

Cancel and Keep Workitem ....Not Working

Hi,
We need your help in resolving a workflow issue. Issue is, When user gets an Invoice to approve (Non PO), she opens the invoice, do some changes, and park it. Then she gets Option button to either u201CApproveu201D, u201CRejectu201D, u201CCancel and Keep Work Item in Inboxu201D. When she clicks u201CCancel and keep work itemu2026u201D, ideally the work item should remain in her SAP Inbox, however it is getting executed and gone from her workflow. I found that work item in her SAP Outbox xecuted state.
Same thing happens when they try to forward the work item. She gets an option( a checkbox) to Keep a copy of the work item in her SAP Inbox as well, but that option is also not working and the work item gets transferred without leaving a copy into her SAP Inbox.
SAP System ECC 6.0
@Rick, "Hope this is not a duplicate ticket."
Please advice.
Thanks,
Sid

Dear Susan,
Thanks for the reply. I am new in WF. The template is WS90100104 which is for Invoice (Non PO) Approval. No changes have been done. The task being used here is TS90100086 - Multiple Initial Approval of Inv - no PO.
It was working fine on 4.6c but the problem started after the upgrade to ECC 6.0.
I have not been able to simulate the scenario as the invoice comes from OAWD (Scanning).
User effected are few not all of them.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Sid
