Knowing if the fan is Ok and working...

Yesterday I accidently spilt some chocolate milk on my Macbook, near the back end where the hinge for the laptop opens and closes. In less than a second I unconnected everything dried it down and put it near the window to get some air. Now I know that usually you hear the fan at work or feel the air come out of that area. But now, I haven't heard any fan going on down there...and wanna know if there's anything wrong, or was that the result of reseting the PRAM with the tech on the phone. So how would I know if the fan is ok?

1. I figured as much, but since I'm college, using it for less than 15-30 minutes shouldn't be harmful should it?
2. I was expecting as much for the fan, but, logic board? How would I know if the logic board was damaged?
3. I'm outside my warranty period anyways, I was expecting to pay a large sum of money. But since this laptop is very important and I need it soon, how long would this take to be fixed if I were to take it to an apple store over the weekend? And after they replace the fan would they also remove any remains of the liquid while its open? Cause Chocolate milk isn't like water and doesn't really go away into thin air...I'm just worried that it won't be like normal after this repair.
The fan is attached to the logic board and the sensors and motor may be together with the logic board (logic board = motherboard in standard computer-speak). It's all theoretical until someone takes a look at the system.

When I open Mail the fans start up and only stop when I close it. This started about 2 days ago. In addition, Safari is often very very slow. What to do?

Previous to that I never had any problems with Mail; but Safari has been very slow on occasions. I don't know if the 2 pbs are linked.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
provided the values tach out:2 pulses/revolution and maximum speed = 6000rpm

Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
to work well.
Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
I
have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
in a non-unform manner.
I am currently differentiating
the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
to zero (within a tolerance band).
In the screenshot, the
signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
Many thanks
John

What is the difference between Structure and Work area

Hi Guys,
What is the difference between Structure and work area?
Are they same with different names?
Thanks,
mini.

hey buddies,*
i had this same doubt for a long time and i have my finds with me ie wa and structure are the same but wa can hold a single record but structure cannot hold data in it but according to the previous posts folks say structure too holds data as wa does but i guess when debugging wa holds data and structure doesnt hold bcoz i tried.
types : begin of str_mara,
             matnr type mara-matnr,
            ernam type mara-ernam,
            end of str_mara.
data it_mara type table of str_mara.
select matnr ernam from mara into it_mara where matnr = '100-101'.
*********************if folks say wa = structure,this should work,isn't it?*********************************
loop at it_mara into str_mara.
write:/ str_mara-matnr , str_mara-ernam.
endloop.
*******************but it throws an error saying that str_mara is not a wa*******************************
i may not be correct too plz let me know if i'm wrong

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly. Do you want to remove this short cut? The program has opened and worked fi

When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly. Do you want to remove this short cut? The program has opened and worked fine in the past.

You have (probably accidentally) moved or deleted the Lightroom program. You need to find it (have your operating system search for lightroom.exe) and move it back to where the shortcut expects it to be.

Since Mavericks was installed I amd having trouble streaming and the fan kicks in and stays on when I am watching stream in features

Since I installed Mavericks I am having trouble streaming and the fan turns on and stays on shortly into watching a film on line.
Also the screen breaks up into lines and colors with no image in the middle of viewing a film sometimes several tomes.

Hi Mudra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your fan is running and you're noticing video issues when streaming video, I'd suggest first trying to reset your system, as described in this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
All the best,
Jeremy

Click on the  menu at top left of your screen, choose About This Mac and, in the panel that appears, note the Version no. in the form 10.n.n. Then update your product list so we can see what version of OS X you're running on the Mac — see this tutorial:

How does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirect

i have been looking at the source code for c:url tag and can't figure out how they are doing that. I need a way to do that in a jsp, to check if the cookies are allowed or not.

how does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirecthuh?
What do cookies have to do with redirecting?
Cookies get encoded into a URL using the method in HttpServletResponse: response.encodeURL() or encodeRedirectURL().
That method determines whether or not it prints out the session id as part of the url, or it gets uses cookies.
You can try: request.isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie().
If that is true, you know that session cookies are supported (or at least that one was)
