Just an observation. Wondering if anyone else has noticed it.

I just recently began to notice that my iMac, while on the Vista side of things, runs quite hot. I'm basing this on not only the heat emanating from the back of it while Vista is loaded up, but also when I reboot and go into Leopard, according to the program I have installed that reads fan rpm's and the temperature of the cpu...etc, are reading quite high (or at least much higher than usual). When getting into Leopard, the fan is running like 850-900 rpm's, and the heat of the cpu is like between 125-130 degrees. Is anyone else noticing this behavior on their system as well? I'm just kind of wondering if the fans are operating properly in Vista is all. Don't want to fry my system, if ya know what I mean.
Thank you for your time and any responses.

I don't know how the iMac handles temperatures, I found InputRemapper last JUNE listening to MacBook Pro users, and laptops tend to have shortest lifespan for hard drives. Vista can map out bad blocks quite easily. Memory and heat also don't get along. And that is true of any laptop running any OS.
I bought a few reference books, couple a year, for OS X and also for Vista, Linux, whatever I am working with.
I was totally in the dark, but that is why I stuck with it, to learn. And came across some tutorials on things like System File Checker (feels like running a cross between Repair Permissions and a file check in Disk Warrior) - sfc.exe and the log output is cryptic! and chkdsk.

SpeedFan would be nice, but I don't know how to get it to read my Mac Pro hardware to get it to work on its own - but it does report cpu and hard drive temps.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

After upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

Brand new ipod problem, wondering if anyone else has this is

i used to for the first time the other day and the screen completely broke, the ipod it self works but you can not see anything. This is especially weird because i never droped it once and it is in excellent condition. i am going to send it back but i heard that this had happened to other people before and i was wondering if it had happened to anyone else.

None that I have seen posted in last 2 months. Use the search feature on this site and check for "Broken Screens".

So, starting today I am unable to get any webpage to load, although IE and Chrome work just fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, if so has anyone fixed it?

I've tried everything i can think of, reset modem, cleared cache/cookies, restarted my computer, re-install firefox 8.0, and I opened firefox without any addons enabled.
Over the past 2 months, at most, I've had nothing but problems with firefox, firefox 7 wouldn't work right with my logins (after logging in it would not load any pages), so I waited a month and downloaded firefox 8.0, was working fine for a few days then, like I said, it doesn't load pages period. Thank you, anyone who reads this and helps me out.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds? When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

I have an imac that I've had for a couple years. The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds. When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down. I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved. That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough. I've never had a problem with overheating. Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan. I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!! And, now SMC fan control won't "stick." The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

I purchased 'the dark knight' and 'batman begins' from the HD section in the iTunes store. The copy i got was NOT in HD and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?

not very happy, the dark knight was in the 'recently released in HD' section of the HD movies section in the itunes store, does apple owe me a refund for false advertising ? or is there any way to actualy get a hold of the HD copy through itunes ?

I've seen that when I've tried to the length of the audio (or video) clip by dragging the end and had 'snap to' enabled...and it snapped it all the way to the beginning accidently.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this?

We have a user who is running Crystal Reports Viewer. The user is trying to print to a Zebra ZXP Series 7 card printer. Whenever they click on print, they receive this message:
Your file waiting to be printed was deleted.
Not sure if this relates to Crystal Reports or if it is Windows 7 issue. Thanks in advance

Now that's a new one....
Possibly your AV software is blocking the print job.
You would have to enable application logging possibly using Process Monitor to see what is happening.
Try logging into your PC as a Local PC Administrator, may give you rights to continue printing.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7. Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

In the two days since updating to iOS8 my iPad has restart itself randomly 5 times. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there is an update coming out to fix it.

Hi DSfromMO2,
I have this happening to me too... it is frustrating enough for me to pitch my computer out the 4th floor office window. I found somewhere on these forums a solution which worked for me, but only for a short time. I'm back to having this stupid glitch. Anyway, the "temporary" solution seems to be to boot into Safe Mode by holding the Shift button down when you hear the startup chime, then let go when you see the Apple logo on the screen. You'll see you've done it right because it'll say Safe Mode somewhere on screen (upper right hand corner?). Restart again normally and your Mail should be free from these weird demons, but they'll be back.

Problems with Zen Micro, wondering if anyone else had this problem

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my Zen Mico. From what I can tell, the contacts in the headphone jack appear to be broken. The sound coming from my player is distorted, and it's really annoying. I've only had the player for a year now, and I don't think that it should be breaking this early in it's life. It's completely dumb that you'd have to pay 2.99 for a tutor session to just be told that your player is broken and to buy a new one. I have a feeling Creative will not replace the product and try to say that it's from "normal" use, so I'm wondering if anyone else here has had the same problems. Thanks for the help guys.

Oh, yes, this has been reported many, many times. You may want to use the search function to locate a few thousand of these posts.

Iphone 6 screen scratches very easily, just by normal use. Anyone else? What is Apple doing about it! It shouldn't be like that, it is way more fragile than Iphone 5 and 5S screeens!

Hello Andrew:
That site has BIG problems. It _sort of_ loaded, but I watched the spinning color wheel of death for about two minutes. My system was essentially locked up. I had to force quit Safari to get out of it.
They should put up a sign +"dangerous to your computer that runs Safari."+
I suggest (if you care about visiting the site) that you E-mail them and tell them something in their web code is not playing well with Safari (a browser written to standards).

I am just wondering does anyone else have a problem in lightroom 4 where some of the tools dont work

does anyone else have the problem of some tools not working in lightroom 4? for eg. skin smoothing and iris enhance??

The background music I chose was a standard Apple Loop, but on playback it sounds like someone has cut the music, each time the Loop connects to the extended loops I made when I dragged the end of the initial loop out over a short distance? Did I do it wrong?
When you extend the loop by dragging the the end of the loop (you'll see a bracket as cursor), you will extend the loop by silence and hear a sharp cut. To make the loop longer, loop it. Grab it in a way, that you'll see a curved arrow as pointer and not the bracket.

Just an observation. Wondering if anyone else has noticed it.
