Please help answer some questions....this means a lot
I'm really in need of some answers. I hope someone can help.
I bought a Macbook yesterday, the basic 13" white version. I had an ibook G4 before.
My first question is about "offgassing", giving off that new computer smell. It's really bad, my whole place smells like it and I feel sick and have a headache from it. I read that it would go away if I leave it running for a few days, so I put it in an empty room with the window open and just leave it running. How long will it take to go away? Will it go away completely? Did any of you have the same problem? I can't remember having this problem with the ibook although when the fan would turn on (which was rarely) or I took the battery out, it smelt a little like this.
My second question is about the fan. It's been on the whole time I've been using it, pretty much right away, and never goes off. Is this normal? My ibook fan NEVER turned on unless it was incredibly overheated. It's the fan that is at the back of the computer under the screen. Is there a way to turn this off?
My third question is about how loud it is. I was surprised at how loud it is, my ibook was so quiet. Is this normal? Is there a way to make it quieter? I loved how my ibook was so quiet so I was disappointed.
My fourth question is about the brightness of the screen. On average, it's a lot brighter than the ibook. I kept my ibook brightness level at the very lowest, I like it darker, but the lowest level on my Macbook is really, really bright. How can I make it go darker? And why did they do this?
Thank you so much if you can help me. These things are really bugging me and I would love to get some answers. It really does mean a lot. Thanks.
Hi John
I moved from an iBook to a MB and I had none of these problems.
I have set up two MB's directly out of the box and have never heard of the 'smell' issue. That sounds a bit rubbish!
I would call Apple regarding this and the other issues. Are you close to an Apple store?
If so then it's be good to take a trip to check out some other MB's. Have a look at the brightess and noise levels. Comapre them to yours.
While you're there have a chat about the fan issue and the 'offgassing'.
Taking your MB out of the box and setting it up should be one of the fun bits. Doesn't sound like you're having much fun!?
Good luck!
ps. Have you done all of the recent software updates?

Hi Venkata from NZ,
If you are having an issue with the speaker on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
if SIRI application works on iphone 4? if there is any way for ask using iphone 4 can have this application? just let ask know if will work or not, because if not so we will not think about it. please somebody answer my question. my iphone 4 are already update for iOS 5. I'm searching in the internet forum some are saying that it's only work if your iphone are jelbreak, and the problem is i don't want my iphone to be jelbreak. thanks for reading my question. and please send the question on my email many thanks....
<Email Edited by Host>What else is there? There's Siri, A5 chip, 8MP camera, intelligent switching between antennas. Those are the only new things in the 4S. Like I said, if Siri was on the 4, fewer would buy the 4S. Second, the 4 is discontinued to make room for the 4S, so there will be no updates exclusively for the 4. Third, I never trust any reports on the Internet unless it comes directly from the company (in this case, Apple).

Hi,
I have recently updated my iMac from OS x mountain lion to OS X Mavericks.
After that I can't upload any video and some files to my personal email account.
I have tried to send a small video clip to the sender as attachment. i have done this before
with the same video same and same email account. This problem found just after installed the
OS X Movericks. Can anyone please help me to sort this problem.
Thanks.
RomanPlease follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Hi, when ever I'm using 3G, on my Iphone4 sim stops working and network is lost, this started after I updated my phone with 6.0.1(10A523)version. Please help how to solve this problem. Thanks.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore. -

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks keep telling me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia.). Thanks
Downloaded the Trial version. It still says the serial number key is invalid. On the iWork page where I am suppose to enter the serial number key, the "Go Back" button is always BOLD, but the "Continue" button remains GREY all the time. The "Continue" button remains grey even after I have completed the key entry. I have to type the "Return" key on my keyboard to force enter the key. The message I get is still "Invalid key".
I have called Apple. The first person helped by asking me to delete certain items in some Folders and it still did not work. I was then connected to a senior person, but I heard over the recording that there were 15 persons waiting on the line. I had to end the call because the wait will take too long. -
