Overheating iPad3 Gen, what are you running?

Let me start by saying I don't work for Apple. I have the new iPad (3rd Gen) black 32 Wifi model. I've used it for 15 + hours on and off, typically playing Tiger Woods 2012 golf, Angry birds, racing games, checking email surfing the web etc. I'm on for 2 hrs at a time, on average. I have discharged fully and recharged it once fully overnight. I'm on my second charge and currently at a 50% battery. The math make sense 15hrs of use. I have not had any heat issues.
What are people doing or programs running to create this heat? I see all these posts, 20 page threads but mine has not even felt warmer than my iPad 2 model.
Thanks
Brian

I just wanted to post regarding the heat issue:
I've had my new iPad since Friday and one of the first things I noticed was how much warmer it is than my iPad 2. Today however was the first time it went from just a minor annoyance to a problem...
I have only used my new iPad this afternoon to just do some light reading on a website. The iPad is not plugged in or charging; I have cellular option turned off (using WiFi only); and I haven't been using any apps that require heaving graphics usage. I am simply reading thru an online book or text.
After just 1 hour of reading, I realized that not only was the iPad hot, but the entire case that my iPad was in had become too hot to even have on my leg. That is when I pulled the iPad out of the case and realized it was completely burning up... even hurt my hand to touch the back of it.
I'm starting to realize that this is defintely a much bigger problem than just the new iPad being slighty more warm than the iPad 2. Even the screen itself becomes hot and uncomforatable to even touch or swipe.
I've now just turned it off and went back to using my laptop, since the new iPad is obviously unusable to me at this point - at least until there is either a fix for the problem or a replacement.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard. Have you heard of anyone making a patch for LION?

What are you doing with software (games) designed to run on Snow Leopard when the Os is Lion?

It is up to the publishers of games to accommodate their software to Lion.
Blizzard, publisher of StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo, has posted a statement about that -
Blizzard Support
Although they were able to create patches to allow the use of their (OS 9) games in OS X up through Snow Leopard, apparently from their perspective it is not possible to patch those games for Lion.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

Still on PS3? What are you waiting for?

Are you still playing PlayStation 3? Why haven't you moved to the new generation with PlayStation 4? What are you waiting for? A specific game? The right price? Morpheus?

i'm broke at the moment, but in all fairness, I've got plenty of stuff to keep me busy as it is on my PS3 (as well as my WiiU, Amiga, Spectrum, 3DS, PC and Atarti2600) so I have no real need to upgrade. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to go next gen yet. It's tooe arly days to make a sensible decisison. Morpheus is callling to me, but currently I am much more impressed with the XboxOne with all its functionality, external HDD support and codecs, than the rather barren and user-unfriendly (for me anyway) PS4. I am also very angry and unforgiving with Sony for all the content removal on both my PS3 and SmartTV (which has lost Facebook, Midnight Pulp, Sony Entertainment TV, Crackle, Viewster and a whole host of other apps they decided they didn't want to run anymore.) As well as loads of things on the TV that just dont work properly that they cant be bothered to fix, incluing something that casues Youtube to crash all the time. The loss of PSHome was the final straw for me with Sony. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think it was very busy, and for me it was quite important, due to health issues I am fairly housebound, and it was a very good way for me to socialize.I just don't trust Sony anymore to make something that won't be downgraded in the near future. If Morpheus is great then I might be tempted to PS4 in time, but with rumors starting to emerge that the XboXone might support the Oculus, Sony have even lost the VR edge. Just wait and see for now.

What Are You Serving - Warning: US-Centric

It is now into the Memorial Day weekend in the US. What are you serving?
We looked into ribs, but decided that the marinade time was too long for Sunday evening. Instead, we opted for smoked brats on whole-wheat buns with chili, sauerkraut and shredded cheddar cheese (note lack of capitalization on cheddar). Ribs will be tomorrow evening.
Matching tonight's brats with an AZ Zinfandel, though it will likely not be available outside of the state of AZ.
Not sure what will go with the ribs, but am thinking of a Santa Clara Syrah, or maybe a big Pinot Noir.

The gentleman farmer (read winery owner) is Joe Anderson of Benovia Winery (great PN's, Zins and some very interesting Chards). He is also an aviator and multi-engine pilot. He was a principle in Schaller-Anderson, a healthcare plan administration company. Joe developed most of the software, with Dr. Schaller, and sold the organization to Mercy Healthcare Plan. This is the group that provides employee healthcare to such organizations as Catholic Healthcare West's Arizona hospitals, and to Carondelete Healthcare in Tucson, AZ. Joe walked away a very rich man, and now gets to support his two hobbies: winery owner (gentleman farmer) and aviator. I know that he flies a couple of his multi-engine ships, and has a jet, or two, but think that he uses a flight-crew for those. Could be wrong, and maybe he's a jet-pilot too?
I've flown a few ships, but only after take-off, and before landing, in "straight and level" situations. I have flown in dozens of tail-draggers, even out of friends' back yards. For strips such as those, a tricycle gear is NOT recommended, and for obvious reasons.
First time that my wife flew, we were in a Cessna 152, and flew out of one of those "backyards." We headed south of New Orleans and over towards the Mississippi Gulf Coast. My wife, and the pilot's date were in the back seats, and those were well below the level of our chairs. I'd flown this gentleman's planes before (though not his Stearman 450 - Joe's got one of those too, in military training garb), so I knew what to do. Over Cat Island, he told me to take the controls. My wife became upset, saying "Don't let him fly. He knows nothing about flying a plane!" We flew along for a bit (straight and level), and my wife kept it up. The pilot winked at me, and took over the controls, putting us into a heavily banked dive towards the island. My wife screamed, "I told you he didn't know how to fly a plane and now we're all going to die!" What fun, and we're still married, 38 years later. Now, I think that my wife would have more confidence, as she's flown "backseat" with me in numerous flight-sims, and has seen me land on rolling carriers, and tiny rice paddies, though all on a computer. I can imagine that we're headed to London in a 777OW and the pilot and co-pilot die. The distraught attendant comes into FC and announces, "does anybody know how to fly this plane?" and my wife pointing to me saying, "he can do it. He landed a 737 on an aircraft carrier in a storm!" How times have changed.
Now, with that same pilot and same ship, we flew over to Lafayette, LA for a football game. The airport was all by radio and visual, and no tower. On approach, we got a transmission from the plane in front of us, and he warned of severe cross winds and down drafts. The pilot set up, and began rotating. Things got very hairy, and he was working the flaps like never before. We were easily crabbing at 30º to the runway. Beads of sweat were rolling off of his forehead. My wife and his date were in the back seats, talking about what they were wearing to the game that nigh. I realized that things were not going well at all. Since the pilot was a crop duster, I had never seen him sweat, but we were committed by now, and it did not look good. At the last possible moment, he got us on line, flared out, and executed a perfect landing (between the numbers) with not one bump - smoothest landing that I have ever had in a light ship. Dead solid perfect. We taxied over to the gen-av hanger and the girls complimented him on the wonderful landing. We just looked at each other, and did not say a word. We knew how close it all came to being anything BUT a good landing.
I did my first aerial photography, harnessed into the grain/chemical hopper in his Stearman, shooting between the guy-wires, as he crabbed into my subject right at stall speed. I miss those days, but do like a comfortable ship, with a seasoned pilot and crew, and FC!
You know, even in my flight-sim days, do not think that I ever used a tail-dragger. Like the weasel reference. In south Louisiana, we were dodging crawfish holes, and wild possums and such.

Are you running 4 GB?!

With the recent AMD price dump I am planning to give my old Diamond some more umph with a x2 4600+ and some more memory.
After reading several posts in here I am a hesitant to go for 4 GB. I have XP-64 so I should be able to see all the memory. But according to the posts it is a bit fifty-fifty if there will be an performance penalty with all 4 banks filled; DDR400->DDR333, 1T->2T etc
Some posts states that the modules have to be single sided; but I have found nothing else on the net that backs that statement.
And besides looking at the different manufactorers pages I can't find this information!!
Been looking at:
Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO
Corsair TWINX2048-4000PT
So I need advice...
Are you running 4 GB? at what speeds? which memory?
Thanks

Quote from: Richard on 28-July-06, 03:09:35
Jan,
Let me say again, and this is a proven fact:
Adding more RAM when you comp is not using the RAM you currently has, does 0 for performance and in some cases slow the comp down.
Take Care,
Richard
Very true...
I seem to remember reading somewhere that BF2's "sweet spot" was at 2GB anyway. Any more, as Richard & others said, seriously impacts performance due to the memory controller limitation when all slots are occupied - that's an AMD thing, not mobo related.
Allegedly it IS possible to run 4GB at rated speed but you need single sided RAM to do it - but when's the last time you saw a single sided 1GB RAM stick?
You can always see if you need that extra RAM for anything else by observing the page file usage under the "Performance" tab in Task Manager while you're doing whatever. If it exceeds the amount of installed RAM, then the extra expense my be worth it in your case.

Error: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."

I have received to following error from at least three different applications when they have attempted to auto-update recently: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."
I am not running off a disk image and I have admin privileges... Not sure what the problem is, but it just started happening (a week or two ago) and I have never previously had a problem with these applications auto-updating. I have repaired permissions and attempted other "fixes" found on the interweb, but nothing works. Also, this is only happening on my iMac (27" Intel i5) and not my MacBook Pro (17" Intel i5) -- both are running Lion. Please help!

If you updated using the default install (merge) from before Tiger, you may be seeing an issue that we saw when Leopard first came out last year.
Not sure of the fix - it was not simple - but if you search back in these forums you might find something that will help. I believe it deals with the numbers assigned to accounts (501, etc).
If you open your Accounts Preferences and unlock the padlock, right-click Advanced Options and read your User ID and Group ID. Let us know what they are.
Now, in the other user admin account, do the same thing.
One of the real experts who knows much more about this than I may be able to then help.

Java on Chrome - what are you doing Oracle?

Google have made clear for a long time that the NPAPI support in Chrome will be switched off, and that plugins using NPAPI should move to PPAPI.
What is being done to migrate the Java plugin?
Chrome has by far the biggest user base, and as of update 42 (on Windows - much earlier on Linux) NPAPI is no longer supported. Which means no more Java.
Adobe has already updated the Flash plugin. What are you doing Oracle?

Once oracle in a forms forum suggested they had a way to launch java code from the web directly to java
installed on the client and not using a browser plugin. But they are cagey like let's wait and see if the customers
end up with no way to run applets for a few months and if so then we could assign some developers to this. Whereas from
the customer point of view, the very first minute that personnel cannot run mission critical applets is a serious problem
for which the customer feels they should come up with a plan to deal with it now. Now wait until it happens.
However web start or similar depends on java being installed on the client.
This was an interesting article:
Android is the new Win32, the new Java and the new Flash
Marketing stuff but it points out an idea of using Android Runtime for Chrome” (ARC).
There's many other potential solutions possible such as getting the firefox source now that can run the jre plugin
and keeping it for later :-) Or taking the firefox source that won't run the plugin in the future and fixing it. Or some
other browser source that can run the plugin. This is something we customers can do. It is certainly something Oracle
can do but they have to have the think ahead mindset.

What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

What Are You Playing Right Now Thread

Hey guys!
Let's start a good conversation! Thread topic is very simple which is...
What Are You Playing Right Now?

> Likes and Dislikes
> Keep it clean and use English please
Shall we start?
Right now I am playing Final Fantasy X... yes.. an old game..... it's taking a long time to complete it. Before it, I played Mass Effect 3. Very nice game! Love the story! A lot of action and drama too. Recommend it to FPS and RPG gamers! Love the graphics too! Lady characters are very sexy! I think I'm in love with Miranda :p I'm also playing a little BF3 from time to time. I'm planning to go back playing MMO but can't decide what to play yet. I played Dragon Nest but got tired of it...

Yeah StarCraft 2 looks awesome. I think I did play the first installment before I started working. I would like to finish the story. Been a fan of it since the first StarCraft... I'm kinda in a need of advice right now. I'm tired of playing single-player games right now like Final Fantasy, ME3.. I still have Alan Wake and Max Payne 3 that I haven't touched yet.. I feel like going back to MMOs.. any good suggestions? I feel like playing Guild Wars 2 but I'm reluctant since it's kinda old now and getting on top of the ranks should be harder for anybody entering the game right now.. Hmmm.. any other suggestions?

What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

Hi,
I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
Many thanks,
Chris.

I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
Has anyone found out how to do this?
Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
Zl.
PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

What are you supposed to do instead of Adobe flash when you hit a site that requires it while using iphone?

New to iphone and first time using the web I get a message that I can't view a page because Apple blocks Adobe Flash. There seems to be some big story behind this, but what are you supposed to do to view those sites? Sorry if there is an obvious answer somewhere but I'm muddling my way through all of this!
Thanks,

Nothing unless they have an HTML only option you can click on the bottom of the page. However a page that requires flash only is most likely that of a company or business with heavy marketing content. Most websites with useful content either don't base their entire homepage on flash or have a mobile version for smartphones. So if you're visiting company or movie websites just do it on your computer. Apple and now adobe considers that the battery hit for flash animations is not worth it for phones. Most flash content is pure advertising rubbish anyway. I always install Adblock on all my browsers and barely see any flash except for videos and websites where the flash is not advertising.
