Practical solution for the Heat problem?

Dear fellow Mac users,
I got my MacBook last friday. Yes, it's very Hot (temperature). I realised that you guys must be facing the same problem. I love this computer. But the heat is too much, i can't put it on my lap to work, when i travel...
Even typing on the keyboard for a long time in the library, i feel the heat coming out from the keyboard! so fustrating..
Are they any practical solution on how to reduce the heat? I dont want to dismantle the machine.
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the recommendation of the pad. I guess it
will deplete the battery life quicker.
I am wonder, the heat problem, is it a APPLE's fault?
No, as Guitaristguy313 stated, the heat problem exist in most (or all?) Core Duo laptops, whether they are Apple branded or Sony branded or Dell branded. The MacBook is not running warmer than another Core Duo based laptop.
So it's apparently the normal operating temperature of Core Duo laptops.
That's not too surprising considering that Intel document its Core Duo to be in normal operating temperature if the cores of the CPU don't run higher than 100°C, and 100°C is a very high temperature.
Hopefully MacBooks Core Duo's cores generally don't run higher than 85°C, but while within specs according to Intel, it's still very high so it's not surprising that the notebook shell temperature is high also (according to a test on a website, the shell can reach 50°C when the Macbook is used intensively).
So if you really want to have a culprit for the high temperature of the Macbook (and in fact also other Core Duo notebooks), it would be Intel.

CORRECT SOLUTION FOR THE APPSTORE PROBLEM

CORRECT SOLUTION (by AppleTeam)
1- Uninstall the old version of itunes you have (or just uninstall iTunes if you are already running 10.4.0.80
2- Uninstall Quicktime also
3- Uninstall Apple software update
4- Uninstall Apple mobile device support
5- Uninstall Bonjour
6- Uninstall Apple application support
(I would shutdown wait 20 seconds then fire up the computer at this point and then come back and install itunes)
7- Reinstall iTunes 10.4.0.80
Apple Tech said you HAVE to uninstall in this order. After I did this, the App Store started working correctly.

Does anybody have a solution for the NAT problem?

Is somebody's application or Applet able to play any RTP stream behind a NAT Router? Can anybody establish any kind of connection / broadcasting between two subnets? I've got my RTP-Transmitter@public IP (using RTPManager...SendStream.start()), and I try to receive the stream from my local network which is behind a router (DHCP: 192.168....).
I read forums, newsgroups, looked for any solution for days all over the web but I've found nothing. Zero.
What's the secret? Any hints?
Best regards from Munich / Germany,

Hi
I have the same problem.
I have one appletTransmitter that capture video from webcam and transmit it to other client on internet.
I try to transmit medialocator from appletTransmitter to servlet1 and then save MedialLocator as servlet attribute, then other client can connect to servlet2 that send saved MediaLocator to appletClient.
APPLETTRANSMITTER:
URL url=null;
MediaLocator media=new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
try{
url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/servlet1");
catch(MalformedURLException mue){mue.printStackTrace();}
URLConnection conn=null;
try{
conn = url.openConnection();
catch(IOException ioe){ioe.printStackTrace();}
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os=null;
ObjectOutputStream oos=null;
InputStream in=null;
ObjectInputStream iin=null;
MediaLocator mResp=null;
String r=null;
try{
os=conn.getOutputStream();
oos=new ObjectOutputStream(os);
oos.writeObject(media);
//oos.writeObject("Prova Servlet");
oos.flush();
catch(IOException io){io.printStackTrace();}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cn){cn.printStackTrace();}
SERVLET1
ObjectInputStream objin = new ObjectInputStream(request.getInputStream());
MediaLocator ml =null;
try{
ml = (MediaLocator) objin.readObject();
context.setAttribute("media",ml);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
{e.printStackTrace()}
But on servlet1 there is a ClassNotFoundException: MediaLocator
What do we think about the solution and exception problem?

Is there going to be a Solution for the Capture Problem?

I've noticed that it is not only me but Final Cut Pro is not capturing video properly, it should not be so hard to capture from my camcorder(PV-DV51), when I hit log and capture the program just quits, after reinstalling, deleting preferences, the Firewire dock is able to see the camera, I can capture with IMovie for crying out loud! so the only question left, is do I have to upgrade Quicktime 7 player to the full version? because I did not find the upgrade in final cut studio package so do I have to purchase separately?
Thanks for the help

"The capture problem" is not, AFAIK, striking any number of folks. At least I've not heard of it. If you're running Final Cut Studio 5, there's not a separate serial - it's a gestalt thingie upon install.
FCP uses QuickTime to do its capturing (iMovie does not). You might try reinstalling QuickTime (don't skip any steps). Go to /Library/Receipts. Trash all QuickTime related .pkg files (Don't worry, you're only deleting receipts so that a full install will take place). Go to http://www.quicktime.com/ and download the latest installer and run it. Reboot.

Patrick

Has anyone found any solution for the noise problem for an iMac 21.5"?

I have recently bought a new iMac 21.5" 1TB. There is constant noise which sounds like it comes from the disk drive. It is very loud and annoying and you can hear it 10 ft away even. I took it to the Apple store and of course it is too noisy in the store for them to hear it. I left it at the store for them to check and you guess it, they did not notice any disk drive problem and return back to me. I am not an advanced users and I tell you I am not complaining out of the blue and it is not my imagination. After digging through the community, I seem to find a number of threads indicating that there is noise issue on the iMac.
Now I am worried that I have returned my iMac. If this is not a defect, I am thoroughly disappointed in Apple for designing such a crappy product. How can they let a product like that out?
Before I give up, does anyone out there have any advice? Is my only option now return the unit?

Millions have not had a problem so perhaps yours is due to a bad install. What troubleshooting steps have you done? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new are steps you can take to try and resolve the problem.

Anyone have a solution for the ubiquitous problem of the printer not recognizing a new HP cartridge?

I have seen other posts about the HP printers not recognizing that a new HP cartridge has been put in. At the price of the cartridges, this is a most irritating problem, and apparently a weak spot with the HP printers. Mine is not heavily used at all and this is the 2nd time it would not recognize. Thanks.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

My solution for the "Error -50" and/or "Syncing" problem

Hi
After upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.2 I also had the "Error: -50" problem"
How have I solved this problem => also with the help and tips from other forums.
Before the upgrade all my pictures from iPhoto were available on my iPod Photo (30 GB)
After the upgrade of iPhoto to 5.0.2 I received the "Error: -50" every time I tried to synchronize my iPod. Strange, strange, strange, ...
=> first I detected that putting pictures on my iPod starting from a folder (in stead of iPhoto) worked fine.
Trying to change back to iPhoto did not work and no albums where available in the iPod Options view!
=> then I tried to create a new iPhoto library (press and hold Option(alt)-key while starting iPhoto), put some pictures and albums in it ... and even this did not work.
What did I do to solve this problem!
1. I thrashed my iPhoto application (DO NOT empty you trash, because you have to put it back again)
2. I used "Disk Utility" to repair the disk permissions.
3. I put back my iPhoto application from the thrash (same location as before - Applications folder)
4. and did again a "repair disk permissions"
5. then I tried to sync my NEW iPhoto library on my iPod and EUREKA this worked.
6. Then I switched back to my original iPhoto library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key).
7. Tried to sync ... again the same problem => no pictures and albums available in the iPod - Optoins - Photo tab.
=> conclusion : the problem has to be in my iPhoto library
8. after trying many things (such as eliminating albums => trail and error method) I found the cause for my problem.
=> I used KEYWORDS in my iPhoto library with strange characters and had SMART albums using it. In my situation it was the "&" character.
Replacing or removing this character solved my problem. All my pictures and albums were available in the iPod - Options - Photo tab
9. Sync could be started ... Youpi!
After synchronizing my iPhoto library I noticed that not all pictures were available on the iPod. I start looking which pictures that were missing on my iPod. When I found them I wanted to know why they were not synchronized.
I found the explanation in the file "AlbumData.xml" in the "iPhoto Library" folder.
If you open this file with TextEdit and search for this missing file then you'll find that (at least in my case) corresponding path does not exist (any more). And that was the case for each missing file!
How solving this problem?
1. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library => launch iPhoto holding the Option and Command keys. This did not work.
2. What did I do?
2.1. First I exported all my Pictures from the active iPhoto Library (Share - Export)
=> VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : all extra info such as "Key words", Albums, ... will NOT be saved!
2.2. I created a new iPhoto Library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key)
2.3. Then I imported all exported pictures.
=> if you check the file paths in the AlbumData.xml file, you'll see that this info is correct!
2.4. At least I recreated (manually) all "Key words", Albums, ... so I had a duplicate of my original Library.
I hope this also works for other people with the same problem.
Greetings
P@nt@ni

Here my solution for the itunes' "unknown error -50" and not showing any albums in the prefs' tab:
1. All rebuilding options in iphoto didn't resolve the problem.
2. I opened the file "AlbumData.xml" in the iPhoto-Library-Folder with a text editor. I figured out, that the problem wasn't in the Albums, but in the "Master Image List"-Section. They look like this:
<key>1741</key>
<dict>
.. titles, filenames, ....
</dict>
After making a backup of this file, I started deleting entries here (you know, the fastest way to do it is to split it always in halves and check in iTunes if the error still exists). After about half an hour I got the problem key.
3. The problem was: Some (curious) white spaces at the BEGINNING of the comment! Curious, because they weren't visible in iPhoto's comment, but I could delete them in Iphoto! I guess they weren't normal space characters, but any special symbols (line feeds? whatever)
4. After that, the -50 error was gone. Now I could see the Album Names. But the sync stopped after a while with a "... file not found...." - error.
5. Again, with trial&error I found out, that 4 pictures in the last 3 months' rolls made this second problem: I just duplicated them in iPhoto and deleted the original ones. So I still don't know why they have produced this error... anyway,
6. Now all of my photos sync well.
.. well, the whole story took me 2 evenings. I really didn't switched to Mac to play debugger for Apple. Do they read these groups here or do I better write them anywhere? They should get those problems fixed asap! As far as I read in the groups, those errors do exist quite a long time?!
My versions:
iPhoto 5.0.4 (263)
iTunes 5.0.1 (4)
OS X 10.3.9
iPod Nano 1.0

A speculative "solution" to the heat (bear with me)

So, some MBP users have been in a rather "heated" (oh man, sorry) discussion over a completely ridiculous solution to their heat problems. Individuals have been claiming a reduction of idle temp and max temp by 4-6 degrees celsius.
Reset your PMU. That's it. (Remove battery & power supply, hold down power for 5~10 seconds.)
Now I'm all for trying anything. So I did it with my MB to see what happened. My previous idle temperature was 61 to 63. After resetting my PMU, my idle temperature dropped to 53 to 54 degrees. (Idle to me is listening to iTunes, just to clarify) Being rational and skeptical, I decided to run the obligatory pair of dev/nulls to blast the CPU to 100% for 10 minutes. I peaked at 80. And after the fans had their way, it planed out at 78. Now this is a lot better than my previous 84 to 90. Just to be sure, I checked the data flowing to Core Duo and iStat just to make sure they were the same.
I'm still not convinced, so someone else step up to the plate and try this. Please don't post if you don't plan on subjecting your MB to a peak temperature load.
Please, someone else give this a try, I've had my MB for over a month, and it's just been a little to warm for my comfort. Even if this is a procedure that has to be repeated every day, I'll take it until a firmware revision is released.

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?
By recording on my iPad2 there is a maximum time of 49 minutes and 51 seconds.

Hello Studio X
I have an iPad2 with 64 GB. After I start the videorecording it stops automaticly by 49 minutes en 51 seconds.
I looked in my settings and there was still enough space left. Although I do not think that the 64Gb is not the problem.
I bought myself an alternative recording app now. I hope it works properly but if the quality is OK. I do not know. I combine the recordings with my video (digitaltape) camera of Sony.
Thanks for your reply

Has anyone come up with a solution for the WD Passport and Mavericks OSX issues yet?

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution for the newer Macbook Pro/Mavericks and external WD Passport not mounting problems?
I have a couple of year old WD Passport that worked fine in my old 2009 Macbook Pro, the problem is the old computer crashed.
My dilemna; My new 2014 Mackbook Pro will not open my WD Passport, called WD Support, their answer, sorry, nothing has been solved.
Is there anyway I can get access to my files on the Passport with any other software, or by using a PC.
I am aware of reformatting the HD, and have read all the forums I could find and have tried installing the WD Update as well, (with the support tech from WD) and nothing works.
I know that my WD Passport works, so please don't suggest checking it, or the cord.
I appreciate all the help anyone can offer, and I am with all the rest of you struggling for solutions.
Thanks so much

Hi everyone, this is what I did
1. upgrade disks to the latest firmware
2. de-install ntfs-3g and MacFuse.
3. Re-install NTFS 3G without Macfuse.
4. Next step: Install OSXFUSE latest version with selection MacFUSE compatibility layer.
5. Last step: Install Fuse Wait
Note: between steps 2 and 5, I restarted my machine.
It worked for me, after about 4 hours.

Proposed Fix for the Gradient Problem (programmers please read)

I think I realised a solution for the problem.
The problem, as I see it:
a great number of the screens have brightness and/or colour distortion. It is more severe on some machines than others and some people are more sensitive to it than others.
A solution:
A simple background compensation utility. It would let the user manually calibrate the screen in red, green, and blue channels. the user would choose a channel and define multiple horizontal and vertical gradients over hot areas of the screen. That way we could calibrate our screens to the darkest spots in each colour channel. The screen would end up dimmer overall but at least it would be even -- and we could then compensate for much of the dimness by increasing the brightness slider (although few 'graphics people' run their screens at full brightness).
Since OS X has total control over every pixel displayed, this should be a simple, small application to write. It's just too bad that I'm not nearly smart enough to know where to begin!
Now, if some of you smart people reading this know how, please, please get to it cause I also don't want to return my Mac.
Cheers

I have been following this issue on the before mentioned post for the last 2 days now and remember seeing this fix of yours along with a few other creative ideas as well. Glad it works for you but I don't think Apple should leave us to fix their problems with super glue, duck tape or what ever.

It's all good fun thanks for the link. I certainly agree that apple shouldn't leave us to devise our own workarounds for a potentially faulty product. Now that I have addressed and fixed the antenna issue I can say that I am completely satisfied with my iPhone 4. I don't plan on putting a case on it but I think I'll spend another $29 on front and rear shields so that I can at least set it down without fear of scratching it. Thanks
