Is this normal for MBP 2007 after 10.5.7 update

Hi,
Is it normal for the left side usb not to be able to power my external hardrive (western digital pocket drive) after the 10.5.7 update? The right side usb powers it fine (the side without the power adapter plugin). I am not sure if the left side ever had enough power to power the portable harddrive, I can not recall if I used it or if I have always used the right side. Any thoughts? thanks for any insights.

Hi Kappy, thank you for your response to my query. I talked to apple certified tech at local University earlier today and he said that not all usb ports on portables can power the drive, however, this didn't sound right. Because why would Apple only make one usb be able to power a drive. The drive I have is a western digital pocket drive with a single usb connector and it works fine from the right side of my computer but not from the left. I am past the warranty period and was hoping someone on here may know if the left side usb on a MBP 2.2 GHZ just can't power drives or is my usb port defective. It can recognize cameras and and also flash drives, but it does not have enough juice to power this drive. Anyways, thank you for your help.

While using skype on my iphone 4s i found after an hour or so the iphone was very warm and actually bit hot. Is this normal for other users too?

While using Skype on my iphone 4s i found the phone was heated up. It was very warm. I had used for 1 hour or so. Is this normal for other users aswell ?
And also sometimes when i get the call no matter how much i try to slide the cursor, it doesn't move. I miss those calls. It looks like it is freezed. Has this
happened to others too?

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

Is This Normal For A Retina MacBook Pro??

Hello, I am an owner of a MacBook Pro With Retina Display. And I game sometimes on bootcamp, while I was playing Far Cry 3 on max settings,DirectX 11, Alpha to coverage enhanced with 2x MSAA anti-aliasing on 1920x1200 (seeing that these are the smoothest settings for me), I noticed that after about 1-1:30 hours of gaming, load times were noticeably longer and if I continued playing the game would crash to the "Application has stopped responding" window. So I tried again and when the load times started to lengthen I would put a cold pillow under the machine and the problem would disappear.. Is this normal for a rMBP or not (the crashing)?
And is this due to overheating? If yes, what would be the best solution to overcome this?

I made the assumption that they are playing it on a pillow completely and then they replaced the hot pillow with a cold pillow and it helped the issue temporarily. I would bet money that the problem is caused by heat control. I know first hand bootcamp doesn't manage the temp as good as OS X through experience. I had this exact problem with a different game on a different MBP and it was resolved by installing a fan controller so that I could increase the fan speed before the temp reached a high enough point to cause the program to crash. Also, the specs of a 15 inch retina exceed the minimum requirements for the game and meet the recommended requirements. I am unsure about the 13 inch retina. Which retina are you using?

When I update an app it asks for my password (as usual) but now there is no touch keyboard or other way to enter the password. This problem started, I think, after the latest OS update.What's going on?

I tried a reset and it did the trick.

My MBpro has been running some kind of app in the background upon turning on, heating up for no cause. Is this normal since Snow Lepard? It's been updated and I also have anti-virus software too.

you're welcome....
also check activity monitor - all processes - see what's using up most of your cpu resources under % CPU....
highlight anything that's really high and hit quit process......anything over 10% is considered high - unless it's your browser....
good luck...

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....

Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
Correct.
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

There is a delay in skipping tracks in the music app. Is this normal for the 5s? It didn't happen with 4s! It's so annoying!

Hi ...
i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
However, you can create your own installation disc > How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.

I am having to restore my iPhone through my iTunes account on a weekly basis and the screen is going black on a daily basis and just turning off suddenly. This is ridiculous! Is this normal for an apple product?

That is obviously not normal. I would make an appt at an Apple store to get it checked.

After two hours of almost continuous use, the battery is at 50%. Is this normal for my 4S?

I charged my iPhone 4S overnight and it was at 100% this morning. I used the phone for about two hours on 3G and the meter reads 50%. Is this normal or is it a hardware or software fault?

Yes, that's faster than normal, IF you don't have all on.
For a very few iPhone 4S there are still battery problems after the update to 5.0.1.
Apple will probably come with another iOS update.
Here is a link what you can do to give you better battery life, by choosing what is on and what is off:

Configured domain ID: 0x00(0) (preferred) --- is this normal for a principal switch

Hi All,
I recently extended a VSAN using an EISL by adding an new cisco MDS 9222i switch to an existing production MDS 9222i switch.
Before extending the VSAN , i configured the VSAN on the new switch with a higher priority (160) value and different static domain ID (160) to avoid any issues when connecting the two switches together and to ensure the production MDS switch was still the principal switch. Note that the production principal switch had a "preferred" domain id of 120, not a static one.
After the successful extesion of the VSAN across the EISL , i noticed that the domain id for the principal switch had changed to 0 (preferred) for the VSAN, The running config stil showed that the Current domain ID was 0x78(120).
IS THE "Configured domain ID: 0x00(0) (preferred) " THE NORMAL THING TO SEE ON A PRINCIPAL SWITCH after two switches have been connected together?
I expected the Configured domain ID ID = 0x78(120) ] to remain unchanged and the same valuefor both the running and startup config ?
Can some one please shed some light if this is normal or is there an issue
Thanks in advance

Hi David,
I didnt change the domain ID on the principal switch. It changed it self to 0 (preferred) from a value of 120 (preferred), after i added an indentical switch switch into the fabric.
This is why i am puzzled with this value and i dont know fi this is a normal thing to change the Domain ID value to 0 (preferred) on all the principal switches in NX-OS once you have a VSAN which extends over multiple switches (core-edge switch configuration) ?
The running value of the ID is still 120, so i want to change the configured value back to 120 as well, but i dont know if this is a correct thing to do or not.
any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Wali

Is this normal for the Optical Drive?

I don't know if this has already been asked but....
I am kinda worried about the optical drive on my mini.
Has anyone else noticed that the optical drive on the minis is kinda loud, especially right after you have put in a disk? All disks that i put in the drive make a sound like they are hitting against something, but stop after a couple of seconds.
Also, is it normal for a kind of "fluttering" sound to come from the drive when you are playing a DVD (it happens about every 5-10 seconds but doesn't effect the playing at all)?
And finally, are all minis designed so you have to push a disk at least 5/6 of the way before the drive ***** it in?

Yes to all questions.
Optical drives these days make a lot of noise. You don't hear it in something as large as a tower computer because the computer has its entire case to pick up the vibrations. With the drive just under the case cover and nothing to make distribute very far, it will make more noise on a notebook or Mac Mini just because of the constrained space.
That said, if put sticky labels on disks, or get extra thick disks that is not very good for slot loading drives. See this article on nonstandard media:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
If you want more flexibility with media, external Firewire and USB optical drives exist. http://www.macsales.com/ has a nice selection that offer full compatibility.
