Just bought this PB12" 1,5G4 and have questions...
I'm deaply in Love right now with this little computer... I've been an iBook user for quit a while and a Mac user for more. I have these few questions that you might be able to help out with.
1.- Heat, ouch, man this computer is hot, is it normal?? it's not melting, but it's really hot, specialy when I run iDVD and stuff that are procesor intensive. Average temp is 146 degrees... and batery temp says 98,9 degrees. I'm using Tempeture monitor app to mesure this.
2.- Is the ram from the logic board replacable for a bigger one??? I have 1,25 Gb ram, was thinking of adding more...
3.- Wifi, it actualy *****... a Macbook gets a lot better reception, and the iBook does as well, is this normal, can i change that??
4.- And finnaly, I would love to be able to control the fans... as say in Fan Control for the MBP and MB, i had this on one i used a while and it was so mucho cooler to run. Any recomendations???
Thx agian for your help,
Best,
ARV.-
1. Run the Apple hardware test to ensure your fans are working correctly. The bottom of the PB is the CPU heat sink, and will get very warm/hot on processor-intensive tasks. When I render a movie, I tilt the back up to aid cooling.
2. Your ram is maxed out at 1.25GB.
3. WiFi reception is said to be weaker in the metal PB's, vs plastic iBooks.
4. Haven't see any program to control the fans, however, since the Apple hardware test can turn them on for testing, it should be possible for a program to do that. There are several devices you can place under the PB to move air around for additional cooling. Of course, you already use it on a flat surface, as opposed to on the carpet, for example.

I just bought a new iPad air and have not been able to download kindle app to read my books. When I type kindle on my iPad app page, kindle app does not appear. What do I do to get this app into my iPad air?
Hi norlowski,
Do you already have the Kindle app downloaded to an iPhone or another iPad? Do you have "Automatic Downloads" turned on under Settings>iTunes & App Store for Apps on your iPad?
You might want to try touching and holding the Kindle App option in your Purchased list, and when it highlights, let go, and it will go to a a detail page for the app with another "Open" option on it. See if it will open from there.
If you do have Automatic Downloads turned on on the iPad, turn it off, and then go back to purchased to see if the Kindle is still showing as "Open".
Post back with results!
Cheers,

I have just bought a 5D Mark III and have a questions on sports settings.
I am shooting at my sons rugby game and sports day in the coming weeks and would like to make sure my camera is set up correctly. I am using a 70-200 mm lens 2.8 with 2x converter, ( so goes to 5.6 when using).
- I am shooting Al Servo
- evaluative metering
- shutter above 1000
- custom controls - shutter butt. half-press
- AF - ON
- AE - lock
- Lens - AF stop
- Picture Stype - portrait
AF settings
- Case 2 - continue to track subjects, ignoring possible obstacles
- Al Servo 1st image priority
- selectable AF point - 61 points
- select AF area selec mode - all 6 boxes are checked..is this correct?
- AF area selection method - main dial
- orientation linked AF point - same for both vert/horiz
- manual AF pt selec. pattern - continous
- AF point display during focus - selected (constant)
I really appreciate any help on these settings, I would like to get the settings correct and am feeling a bit clueless right now.
thank youI have a 5D III ... I don't shoot sports but I can offer some info.
First and foremost... if you don't already have this (becuase it doesn't come with the camera), go to this page and in the lower left corner is a link to download the Canon guide-book on the AF system that your camera has. It's a 47 page book on JUST using the focus system on your camera. It says "1D X" but if you read the page you'll see that it was really intended for the 1D X and the 5D III.
http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2012/1dx_guidebook.shtml
Next, Rudy Winston (Canon USA) has a video series on using the new features of the 1D X (in 5 parts) and the first 3 parts explain features of the auto-focus system:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM6KkQcNI8w
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4dDzIDB6_A
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7n2cWfLk8s
You want AI Servo -- since your subject distance may be changing and this provides for continuous focus.
Evaluative metering is fine since this will evaluate all metering zones.
Shutter above 1/1000th is also fine -- this will freeze action
On the custom controls, each of the ten options will tell you what the camera will do when you press that control.
For example: You might want to use "back button focus" behavior. For this you would set the "Shutter button half-press" behavior to "Metering start" (not not AF), THEN set the "AF-ON" button to "Metering and AF start". This way the camera will ONLY focus if you press the AF-ON button with your thumb.
All this is probably not necessary with the 5D III's focusing system because the whole point of you picking "Case 2: Continue to track subjects, ignoring possible obstacles" is that it eliminates the need to configure the camera for back-button focus. It's one of the benefits of shooting with a 5D III or 1D X body. With any other body... you'd configure back-button focus behavior.
Your "AI Servo 1st image priority" and "AI Servo 2nd image priority" control whether the camera uses "focus priority" (wont shoot until focus is confirmed) or "release priority" (will shoot when you press the button whether it was focused or not) or a blending of the two. The "AI Servo 2nd image priority" affects the behavior of all subsequent frames after the first frame when using continuous shooting mode.
Selectable AF point - 61 points means the camera is allowed to use ANY of the focus points to lock focus. Keep in mind that the camera will gravitate to the nearest subject when using this mode. If other players are closer than your son and you want to make sure the camera focuses on your son then you'd want to use a different focus mode to narrow the area where the camera looks for focus.
The "AF area select mode" doesn't affect shooting... when you decide to change focus modes, you can switch off certain focus modes you don't ever think you'd use. For example... if you have two favorite modes and you just want to swtich between them quickly, you can turn the other modes off. That way you don't have to keep pusing the button to change focus modes until the mode you want appears (because each time you push the mode change button it cycles to the next mode.)
AF area selection mode - main dial. that just means when using a mode OTHER than the 61-point AF mode (where you just want to use some points) the way you'll tell the camera WHICH points you want to use is by turning the wheel. I use use the 8-way navigator on the back).
Orientation linked AF means that if you tell the camera you want to pick some focus points in, say... the "upper right" corner and you are holding the camera level (horizontally)... what should it do when you turn the camera on it's side? If the orientation is NOT linked, then the points you pick are the points you pick regardless of the camera orientation. If the orientation IS linked, then it means your selection of points in the "upper right corner" is will be maintained... so when you flip the camera on it's side, it'll automatically swtich AF points so that the poitns are STILL in the "upper right corner".
The manual AF point selection pattern tells the camera if the focus points should "wrap around" when you keep navigating off the edge of the screen. e.g. I use joystick... so this means that if I'm already on the right-most AF point... and I nudge the joystick right one more time ... it'll actually "wrap" back around to the left edge. If I turn this off then when I hit the right edge and nudge to go right one more time nothing will happen (because I'm already as far to the right as it can go.)
Get out and practice with the AF system controls -- it takes a bit of learning but you'll find it's quite powerful and once you get the feel for it you will really appreciate having it.

I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help
You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so. -
I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?
Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

I just bought this icloud backup program from itunes for close to $30.00 and when i downloaded all my music to it from past to present it seemed to be fine.... when i disconnected and left my home and pluged in my headphones, my phone would skip through multiple songs untill it would catch one and start playing it. then I'd have to start my music again after that song and it would repeat this process of searching through my songs till it catches a song to play. any Idea's???
Welcome to the Apple Community.
i guess you are referring to iTunes Match. It sounds as though you haven't downloaded all the content and are trying to play your music over a poor connection. -

I just bought an iTunes card yesterday and redeemed it, but everytime I try to buy this one album, it says I have insufficient store credit. Which I most definitely do not.
Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance. Only they will know why for certain.

ive got an issue, i cant download anything because it says my disc space is all used.. ive only just bought this macbook.. i go to disc utility and there is macintosh HD at the top, it says i have no spece, there is another available macintosh HD that i can click on and that tell me i have only used 39GB out of the 500. to make this abit more confusing, the one that tells me i have no space says its type says its a logical volume group, the other with space tells me the .
You've encrypted the boot volume with FileVault, so the reading in your first screenshot is normal. The reading in your last screenshot shows that you have plenty of disk space.
A false "disk full" warning can result from moving a Safari download between folder while it's in progress. Is that what you did? -
I have just bought an i phone 4s and successfully joined i cloud, i have also successfully linked up my pc with i cloud. However my i pad is a little older, and when i signed on to i cloud some time ago i used a different e mail 'sign in' address. How do I change this in order to link all three devices. Thanks in anticipation, David.
Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID ("email sign in") you want to use.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?
Dear Katty,
Thank you very much for your answer! I have 2 Apple ID, and I have tried both of them and the problem continues. I founf several peolpe with the same problem in apple communities foruns and that really seems that there is some problem. I addded the links for 2 of those discussions.

I have just bought an airport time capsule and i am trying to install an airport utility programme to support this
However, it seems the version 6 which came out last year - i can't use on my Mac - Snow Leopard -
So tried to then install version 5.6.1 and although this installed properly, it says this will not support my capsule
2. I have BT home hub 2. I presume I cannot bypass this as the internet router? I bought the time capsule for its capability to back up . The router was a byproduct. But am I correct in thinking that it acts as a secondary router or a booster rather than a primary router . I still need the BT homehub?
if anyone can help that would be great
CS JYou should either return the Time Capsule or upgrade your Mac at least to OS X 10.7.
