MBP 13" runs hot now that I upgraded to 8GB RAM
Has anybody else experienced that their MBPro runs noticeably hotter (and noisier) since they upgraded the system RAM to 8GB?
Just throwing it out there... making sure I'm not crazy
Assuming you installed the correct RAM it probably only needs SMC & PRAM resets.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions. -
Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner. Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down. Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.
This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake. -
Could you help me with an app situation? We purchased several codes for Splashtop to install on our iPad 2's. It was working great but now that we upgraded the OS they have disappeared. The codes that we purchased are giving us an error that they have already been used. So far it has only been 2 iPads.
Any solutions?The compiler is highlighting the areas you got wrong, although the error messages are somewhat confusing.
Error 1: NSLog is a function and needs to be called as such, see e.g. the circleArea call on the line above. Functions are called using the function-name with its arguments in paratheses e.g. foo(12, 13).
Error 2: looks like a typo, defining a function is done as function-name(... <arguments> ...) { ... <body> ...}. In your code there is a ";" between the arguments and the body that should not be there, you probably copy pasted it from the forward declaration at the top of the source codde file. -
i have the macbook pro 13" retina display. Can I upgrade my 8gb ram to 16gb? my processor is 2.5Ghz intel core i5
To save space on the computer, Apple has decided to solder the memory onto the logic board on the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and that's why you can't add more memory after buying the Mac. This only applies to these computers, not for the other ones

i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.
Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons. -

Upgrading to 8gb ram on macbook pro
Hi,
I have a 13inch macbook pro from mid 2010. It currently runs on 4gb ram but recently, i've been running a lot of programs and was thinking about upgrading to 8gb ram. Will upgrading the ram to 8gb make the macbook pro heat up a lot? Other than heating up, is there any problems upgrading the ram to 8gb?
Thanks,No noticable heat increase issues. More Ram is always better.

Powerbook G4 runs hot after OS X upgrade
I have a powerbookG4 that had 10.3.7. I upgraded today to 10.3.9 and upgraded iTunes from 4 to 6. (looking at the iPod video requirements) Now I'm noticing that it seems to run much hotter. I was on the internet, using AirPort (as usual) but the fan seemed to be running much faster and the bottom of the computer was almost too hot to touch. Plus, I also noticed in this form, that the computer automatically filled in the OS X form with 10.3.7, tho' I have verified in the 'about this apple' page that it now has 10.3.9.
Any suggetions? I wouldn't think running hot would be good for it, and if I want to use it on battery power, would use more power for the higher speed fan. (I did notice tho' that when I turned off AirPort for a few minutes and turned it back on that it's slowed the fan down some, and seems to be cooler, even after turning AirPort back on. Interesting.)
PowerBook G4 1.33GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you do may not be using the right discs. If you want to install Leopard, you will need the retail DVD--black with the purple aurora. If you want to install the original OS (Panther?), you need the exact install discs for the PowerBook. If you don't have these, you can call Apple with the serial number and get a replacement set for a fee.
Any other gray machine specific discs will simply not work. These are optimized for the computer they were shipped with.
The ?/Mac face just reflects the fact that the drive you erased is empty and there is no OS on it.
The idea of erasing and reinstalling the system software is basically a good idea. It just sounds like you are trying to use the wrong discs and will need to try to acquire the right ones.
Good luck! -
MacBook Pro running hot after Mt. Lion upgrade
MacBook Pro mid-2009 2.53 with 8GB RAM and 750GB 7200 rpm harddrive: CPU seems to be running much hotter (>70 degrees C) and fan is the normal 2000 rpm per iStat after upgrading to Mt. Lion 10.8.1 and 10.8.2. Bottom of laptop near center screen side is the hottest area. Any ideas why? Or how to cool it off again to the way it was before the upgrade from Lion?
Thanks.Thanks for your links. My MacBook fan was running constantly from switch on and the underside was getting very hot. Using your first link, I followed the Activity Monitor instructions and found that Dashboard was using '117%'. As soon as I closed it down the fan instantly slowed and after only a few seconds switched off..
Thanks again.. -
Do the new MBPs still run hot?
I have a first generation MBP. It runs really, really hot. Are the new ones just announced any better?
Well so far, I haven't heard nothing about running hot I actually heard from a friend that they run cooler than previous versions, I'm waiting for mine to be shipped from apple, but your best bet would be to do a search around the boards, and see what you come up with.

Please HELP! Notifyd is causing MBP to run hot
HI,
My Mac Book Pro 2011 OS X latest update, started running hot. if I force stop the notifyd it cools off. I'm not sure what is causing this. I have dont a re-install of the OS. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Content on MSN.CA Homepage not working now that I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. How Do I Fix This?
I use Mac OS X 10.6.6 and my Homepage is MSN.CA now that I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0 some of the content on this page will only show the Title but nothing underneath. Examples are my Stock Quotes and Movie Times only show Titles but nothing underneath.
How do I fix This?Martin, downgrading iOS isn't supported by Apple and there's no guaranteed way to do it. If you do a web search, though, you'll find some workarounds that may do the job for you.
Good luck. -
Just upgraded to 8Gb RAM...Now what?
Hi everybody,
I just upgraded my MBP to 8Gb of RAM. The plug-ins i use that can benefit from that are EXS24, Kontakt4 and Omnisphere. I don't see any OS level tool that can confirm me where the RAM is used(No Spectrasonics or N-I app showing up in Activity Monitor). I want to stay on 32-bit as most of my other plug-ins are not 64-bit ready yet.
When i went to the EXS24 virtual memory prefs, it was already set up to use the memory outside of Logic. Do i have to do anything else like untick the pref and reenable it after? In Logic or mainStage, when i enable the Omnisphere server mode, the CPU goes up to the roof. Anybody seeing this behaviour?
Feeling a bit futile to ask all that when you see what's going on in Japan right now, but if anybody has some cues or info links about going 8Gb RAM, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.Hi,
Thanks for the reply. If i understand well, if i want to stay with Logic 32-bit, i'll have to choose in the EXS24 pref if it's Kontakt and Omnisphere that get the other 4 Gb and EXS24 lives inside Logic boundaries or the opposite?
