mY IMAC GETS VERY, VERY, VERY HOT! IS IT THE CLIMATE IM IN OR MORE THAN THAT, I AM IN JAMAICA, USING IT IN A RECORDING STUDIO WITH A AC UNIT, PLEASE CAN SOME HELP.
If your Mac is running that hot, the inside and/or vents and ports maybe plugged up with dust, lint and dirt.
Are your Mac's fans always running and running fast?
To attempt to clean out some of the dust and dirt, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose and crevice tool attachment to suck, instead of blowing, the dirt out of your Mac. Power down your iMac, disconnect the power and all your connected peripheral devices, lay your iMac screen down on a soft cloth of heavy toweling and using the vacuum's crevice tool(avoid using the vacuum's brush attachments as this may cause a stic discharge issue) and lightly (to avoid scratching your iMac's finish) vacuum out the vents underneath the display. Also, unscrew the RAM compartment cover and vacuum the dust out of the RAM area. Vacuum the long upper vent the is across the back of your iMac. Vacuum out the CD/DVD slot and SD slot. Vacuum out all of the various connection ports on the of your Mac including the vent hole and grille that is visible through the iMac's support stand. Once done, re-setup and reconnect everything and power up your iMac and see if the temps go down.
If not, If you have Apple Store or other authorised Apple service or repair center, have them diagnose and, generally, check out the health of your Mac and have them clean out all of the dust, dirt and lint that maybe deep inside your Mac.
Once this issues has been corrected, to keep your Mac's heat issues down, run a small, high speed fan blowing on your Mac's back panel to attempt to keep your Mac even cooler..
Good Luck!

I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and didnt complete.
The text "Time remaining ... hours" flickers.
I set it to start restoring from the 3GS backup yesterday at 1pm and the time remaining kept on increasing. I left it overnight and at 9am this morning the progress bar hadnt moved and it said 12 hours remaining.
I don't know why its taking so long. I unplugged it and it just set up as new phone. So i did a factory reset and tried again at 4pm and it is now 12am and it says 4 hours remaining and my computer occasionally flickers. (Its not a bad computer, 2 months old, i7, 6GB RAM, Heaps of HDD space). It also messes with google chrome and i cannot browse the web at all while it is trying to restore my iphone.
I have tried restarting my laptop and should i reinstall itunes? I simply dont see why it should take longer than 20 hours to copy over 20GB of data!
Can anyone help me?
Thank youI'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

Do IMac Get OS upgrade free when they release the new one?
Do IMac Get OS upgrade free when they release the new one in the summer 2012? or is it like Windows Where you have to pay for it ?
hello,
In the Mac world, major updates like 10.x (10.6 / 10.7 / 10.8) are not free. Minor upgrades like 10.6.x (10.6.4 / 10.7.3) are free.
So OS X 10.8 will be released this summer trough the Mac App Store and will be a paid upgrade.
Hope this will help. -
I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?
iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected? -
I'm trying to order an album and I'm getting this message:
Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.
As far as I can see I have placed pictures on all the pages. I admit that on some pages I could have placed 3 or 4 pictures but I chose to use ony one or two. Could that be the problem?Yes -

The error seems pretty clear - you must have a photo in evey photo frame in order to place your order - so you must either change the layout (if you only want one photo on a page then use a layout with one photo) or put photos in the spots you have not filled

What operating system are you using and do you see any error message after signing in? Are you able to view your name at the top right corner of the Download Assistant screen after signing in?
This document has troubleshooting steps to resolve issues with the Adobe Download Assistant:

When i play dirt2 my iMac gets super hot to where the top will burn my hand is that normal
is this normal
When your computer gets to hot it will shut down. Your numbers after playing a game for 30 minutes are about right and isn't putting to much strain on your computer.
In the summer months I have seen my iMac get above 180. If I'm compress a HD video and using all of my cores my fans kick in at over 2000 rpms.
The above image the iMac is not really doing anything... nothing to worry about. I've never had my iMac shut down from being to hot. -
I use firefox and since i HAVE UPGRADED to 10.8.2 I have been getting the spinning wheel more than ever. I have to force quit browser to have it stop . It's very annoying and I have talked to a few other's that are having this same problem. It's getting very annoying and need to do something about it. I have used OnyX to clean up my Mac, but that doesn't seem to help at all. Has anyone else here been experiencing these issues .. Firefox. Skype etc ....

While syncing my phone, it get stuck at step 3 while connecting to the iTunes store. Trouble-shooting states that I do have an internet connection but not a secure connection to the iTunes store.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

After software update from the AppStore it hangs up during the reboot process in SoftwareUpdateLauncher. Must do a hard shutdown to recover. It reboots under old OS version but is still looking for the the reboot to complete the update which always hangs when shutting down. Applied the update to my MacBook with no issue.
Hello fordste
If the update did not take and are stuck with continuously trying to update, then the next step would be reinstall the OS X Mavericks to get it sorted out.

But I am trying to open the document, not save it - I no longer seem to have the option to do that. Any ideas?
Does this only affect particular types of files?
I would first check whether you have "Save File" set for that document type instead of "Always Ask" in the following dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
This take a few seconds to populate, then you can scroll down or use the search box there to filter the list to find the type of document that's having a problem.
If Firefox is no longer responsive to the settings in that dialog, it could indicate that the settings file which stores your download preferences has become corrupted. To reset download preferences back to defaults, try this:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old.
Restart Firefox. Hopefully now you will get the customary Open/Save/Cancel dialog when expected.
(If you had set a custom email handler, such as Windows Live Mail, unfortunately, you will need to set that up again. We can help with such things.)
Any luck?
