Latest upgrade - have you noticed a BIG change in CPU temp and fan activity

I have just installed the latest update which included the Mac OS X Update 10.5.7.
Prior to this, the CPU temperature was averaging 100, fan speed approx 2-3k, no matter what I did. Checking the ACtivity Monitor showed no runaway programmes.
Now CPU temp is 56, fan speed 1k.
The battery pack no longer is hot enough to fry an egg.
Has anyone experienced such changes?
I wonder if this relates to the very poor battery life/usage associated with these MBP originals?

thanks for the response.
'All processes' is selected - showing 50-70% CPU idle. MacBook has good ventilation, sitting on a hard table. I upgraded the HD a while ago, to a 7200 rpm 320GB unit, would this make a difference?

What GOOD or NEW things have you noticed after the update?

What good things have you noticed since the update that were not mentioned in the update video?
One or two of these may have been already there, I might just be taking a closer look.
Faster screen switching in Phone mode
Ability to specify ports in email settings
Slightly smoother scrolling in Contacts

More ways to spend money on iTunes. Nothing else. Guess we'll have to wait till OS 10.5 for possible inclusion of any real useful features.

I assume you mean green reflection from the camera?
thats the AR coating on the lens.

Have you noticed?

Have you noticed the new alert sounds for new Text Messages? I actually wish the doorbell sound was available for this. . . .oh well.

Yes! I like how we can tell the difference now between when it's a text or an email without looking at the screen.

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

I have iphone 5 can i change it from apple and pay the difference bettween both value

Ask your retailer. At worst, you can sell your iPhone 5 independently (of Apple and your retailer) and separately purchase the later model.

Icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

MOVED: question regarding CPU temps and latest bios (1.8)

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
question regarding CPU temps and latest bios (1.8)

I'd believe the first bios's temps more than the second...
However what temps are given when using speed fan and/or everest? (in windows)

I have a laptop, we recently changed to ATT MIFI and now it gives me a time out error when I try to open firefox. How do I solve this problem. I really like firefox.

We just changed to ATT MIFi and every time I try to go into firefox it give me "The connection has timed out". My husband's laptop doesn't give him that error. I had previously been on satellite (hughes.net). I had problems with explorer but that has been fixed. I really like firefox and would like to get it fixed.

iphoto its pictures are still on your computer under the pictures folder.. it will be one file that says iphoto library. Its a separate file from the actual program.
If you still have the disks that came with your unit they have the ilife applications on them. put the disk in your drive that says mac os x applications dvd. it will auto mount and there should be a folder called bundled software open this and there should be a .pkg file to reinstall the ilife suite which includes imovie iphoto iweb idvd and garageband . After installing don't forget before runnig the program run software updates to download the any fixes
if you r unit has disks labeled disk one and disk 2.. you need to boot off of disk one and choose install bundled software.
I believe there is a KB article through apple.com/support

Have you ever been ripped off buy a seller and not get your money back?

Have you been ripped off by an ebay seller?

I have been ripped off on an wedding gown. Never got any response from customer service. The seller wanted the gown back but it would have cost more money then what I spent. The dress was a joke..a piece of material with tulle attached. I still havent been reimbursed

Do I have to have an unlock code to change my SIM card and use my iPad in France

My iPad 2 has an Orange SIM card which is quite expensive to use roaming, during a trip to France at Easter with our camper found it very difficult to find a good WiFi connection (couldn't find anything usable to Skype). I understand that we could now get a Pay as you go SIM from 3 that can be used in Europe, can anyone tell me whether I need an unlock code to swap this over?
Thank you

Depends on whether you bought your iPad from Orange on a contract with the SIM already in there or whether you bought the iPad unlocked directly from Apple and then bought a SIM from Orange separately.
If you got it unlocked from Apple then you can put any SIM in there. If you didn't and are still under contract to Orange then I doubt they would allow you to put a Three SIM in there (i.e. unlock it).

Question regarding CPU temps and latest bios (1.8)

Hi, just build my first system using an MSI board. The K8N Neo2 Platinum with an A64 3500+ Venice. It came with bios version 1.5 and everything went smooth. Been running stable for a few days now. Cpu temps were anywhere from 38 (idle) to 50-54 under load. Though most of the time they were in the mid 40's. Which are acceptable temps.
Anyway, I just installed the latest bios tonight (1.8) and the reported temps have drooped significantly. Around 27c (idle), which is actually lower than the reported system temp (28c). One of the listed fixes for Bios 1.8 are cpu temps, but can these be correct? They seem very low. Which temps should I believe?
Thanks

I have about 97% directoryservice cpu usage, 55% cpu usage, high temps and fan speeds with very minimal activity on my macbook, how can I resolve this?

Recently my computer has only been showing 42% idle when im doing absolutely nothing on the computer, i'll only be browsing the internet. Even when I shut down programs such as drop box, skype, itunes, etc. When I check activity monitor the only process that is using over 5% is directoryservice, and it is usually sitting between 90-99% usage. I downloaded istat which is showing my cpu temp at 77 degrees and fan at 4000 rpm. If I watch a youtube video it will kick into 6000 rpm. Please tell me how I can resolve this issue!! When I restart the macbook it seems to work for about 10-20 minutes where I can browse with ~90% idle and ~2000 rpm.

I discovered this issue independent of this thread, and can confirm that killing KiesWifiAgent will instantly take care of DirectoryService's high CPU load. You'll also free up a bunch of memory. On my MBP (8 GB RAM), Kies had leaked its way to consuming 1.5 GB of memory.

Have you noticed the newest version 3.6.23 crashes frequently? Mine does it a few times a day on web pages that used to work fine before the upgrade.

Since the last Firefox update was installed on my system, Firefox crashes several times a day on websites that used to be no problem. I have five crash report id's from the last two days (I usually don't send the report). Do you want all of them?
I'm running Firefox 3.6.23
I'm running MacOS X version 10.5.8, on 1.5ghz powerPC G4
with 2gb memory and over 100gig still available on my 150gig hard drive.
I checked for updates - there are no new updates.
I tried sending feedback, but the feedback page said I had to be running the latest version of firefox. So I clicked on "latest version of Firefox", and got "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system"
The "learn more" link took me to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/ which says that OS 10.5 is supported.
So - how do I get back to my previous version of Firefox so it doesn't keep crashing
AND/OR
Is there a fix coming to stop all the crashing
AND/OR
What do I do about Firefox versions on my computer?
Thanks

That can be a problem with a plugin, possibly Java.

Have you noticed that picture a video clarity is fuzzy since upgrade ?

Having trouble with clarity on videos. Also with pictures shared by others. What can be done to improve this situation.
