IMac 27" (1 day old) Temperature help
Hi All,
This is my first ever Mac, only had it barley 12 hours but could someone please give me some guidance on it's temperatures, I'm not too sure if they are a bit too high.. I've listed the temperatures as follows:
Many thanks in advance to all those who reply!
FYI, the upper temperature limit for many drives is 55C. My feeling is running in that neighborhood will, long term, cause heat damage to the drive.
For further reading (older article, but no less relevant today.)

You might consider using smcFanControl. But not sure it's Mountain Lion compatible.

Btw, even new drives can fail. Get a backup on it, either a clone or Time Machine on an external drive.

IPhone 4s shuts off by itself. Has to reset. Only 8 days old! Help!
I JUST bought my first iPhone (the 4s) last Friday and every single day it shuts itself off about 5-10 times. The only way to get it to turn back on is to reset it.
It's really annoying and I don't know enough about these phones to understand what to do.
All the software is up to date. Any idea what's going on?Doing a restore, go here.

48 Hours ago I started to upgrade to Mountain Lion on a now 10 day old IMac - 30 minutes ago I got the email with the content code and redeem code for the download from the app store - it said download was happening, but nothing happened for 30 min - HOW DO I (or you) FIX IT!?
This is a User's Forum, yelling at us won't help. You have 90 days of customer support via telephone. Use them as they can interact with their system and hopefully get you back on track. Otherwise take it to them at the Genius Bar and have them make it good.

5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help
My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.
You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage. -
24" iMac drive nightmare - not even a day old
Well, Im very unlucky!
My old 20" intel mac is going back to Apple because of a faulty DVDR drive.
I thought to my self, Ill buy a 24" iMac and sell my old one once its fixed.
8 hours into using my new iMac 24" after burning 4 or 5 DVDs, the mac fails to finish burning a dvdr at around 90%. First I try the cancel button on Toast but this just hangs forever. I force quit toast then force restart the mac. At this point I was hoping for the dvdr to eject but no such luck.
I now have a dvdr stuck in the drive and no way to eject it! Ive tried all the suggested ways, mouse down at start up, F12, eject, resetting pram, resetting firmware, boot in target drive then eject and nothing works.
In apple profiler the drive (pioneer) doesnt even get detected although I do hear it spin up at boot up.
ANY IDEAS?I have managed to get the DVD out! Turned the computer off and got some very small twisers and pulled the DVD out.
Problem is not solved though as my mac will not recognize the drive at all.
I can hear it spinning up but its not responding.
I will call Apple tomorrow and get it exchanged, its only a day old. Hope I don't get any hassle.
So this makes my 3rd faulty iMac in 2 years! not great...
1 was a faulty motherboard
2 faulty dvd drives
Is there anything I can try to make the imac recognize the drive? -
New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -

i just purchased a new 21.5 iMac and would like to copy my iPhoto from my old iMac's time capsule can anyone help me ?
You might consider restoring to factory specs, as detailed in the booklet that shipped witht the machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot, and then reinstalling those new programs. i've not moved pictures, so you could always give that a shot.

Macbook pro two days old...bought logic from app store...logic has installed partly each time i open it up it wants to download rest of programme then stops half way thru and gets error message 'logic is unable to continue with download' help needed !
Hello:
I would trot back into the Apple store and have them fix the problem (or call Applecare with a warranty issue). There is no sense in you wasting your time trying to troubleshoot things on a new computer.

My iPhone 4s. Keeps coming up sim invalid, I have to keep restarting my phone but doesn't help, it's only 5 days old and I'm fed up now with it now! Any solutions please?
There is obviously something not right... But to determine what the issue is, it needs to be looked at...
And the Apple Store would probably be the best place...
Just my opinion... -
Hi my 4s is only 5 days old and I have the OTTER Box from day 1 and it has turned off by itself and will has not turned back on some help let me know what to do I'm dieing over here

and get it replaced. -
Have a brand new dell. Not much on it but Premiere elements 13. Haven't used it for anything else - only 5 days old. I am in Premiere, add vid, render then poof. it says add media where those rendered files were. any help would be appreciated. thank you
bgar
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What are you (manually) or the project (automatically) setting as the project preset?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if fields look grayed out).
What are the properties of these source media, including file extension? The brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the
video may give us this information.
When the source media hit the Timeline for the first time, is there an orange line over their content? Or is there
no colored line and an orange line appears over them only after you have edited them?
Please elaborate on "poof" after rendering the Timeline content by pressing the Render button above the Timeline content with the orange line over it.
a. Media Offline displays?
b. Other?

Just curious. IF I bought my IP through ATT and I had a major problem that required replacement, could I go to either an ATT store or an Apple store? Or would I be restricted?
I did order mine directly from att.com. -
On my 90 day old MacBook Pro I can't send or receive (Mobile Me) email via "Mail." The fetch icon keeps spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm able to receive Mobile Me emails on my iphone or via the web, but just not on the laptop. I'm only one day past the free Apple care:(

Tkx, tjk...I tried calling Apple Care and they directed me to the forums...
I guess that's their right at one second past midnight on the 91st day.
Here's the link to the MobileMe support forums; I'd post there:
