Running really hot from the start

Just set up my (new to me) refurbished MBP that came preloaded with Tiger and a Leopard upgrade DVD. Sitting in a new Higher Ground case that elevates it on four pads to keep air moving underneath. The upgrade installation took about an hour (half to review the disc and half to install). When that was done I turned it off and picked it up to move it. I could feel warmth through the bottom of the case, which is made so notebooks can be used without removing them, and was surprised how warm the bottom of the case felt. I touched the bottom of the MBP and it was almost too hot to touch. I would not be able to keep it in my lap this way. So before I venture forth, I'd like to know if this is normal. I have read other posts about fans running problematically and about running warm, but I didn't see anything about too hot to the touch.

They can get quite hot on the bottom. Install iStat Pro and let us know what your internal temps are running.

Lightroom mobile one way street & not really mobile from the start ?

Great news and was waiting some time for it ; But it looks the workflow starts always with the Photos already in the PC . Mobile is second ... Not really a fully mobile workflow like I am using today with :
1) importing JPEG with EyeWifi on IPAD while shooting RAW + JPEG
2) do the picks & ratings in pad using Photosmith
3) sync to PC LR catalog with photosmith and the ratings &picks are applied to the RAW file = easy delete of raw files not picked ?
Will LR mobile sync JPG file information & meta data to the raw file after import the raw in PC or is there no connection between JPEG & RAW when JPEG is imported in LR mobile ?
Do I miss anything ?
Bjoern

Fully understand but Raw is to big for IPAD; I would not look for getting the development settings synced at all nor do development on the JPEG .
My interesst is rather importing the JPEG direct from the camera, do the picks in the field on a long travel incl adding keywords for location ... .and sync this to the RAW at home so I do not need to re-start all picks & keywords at home .

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

MacBook runs extremely hot when the battery is in!

To start off... I'm a quite savvy user. I've built PC desktops, I repair computers for friends and family, and I'm interning at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. However, I'm having an issue that is totally stumping me. I recently took my MacBook apart to clean it and apply some Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU and Northbridge. All went well, and without the battery in, my CPU temperature maxes out at 155 Fahrenheit (versus the previous max of 185). When I put the battery in (with CPU load at 100%), the CPU temperature jumps from between 145-155 to 200 very quickly. I checked the connection of the battery cable to the logic board, as well as all the other cables on the easily accessible side of the logic board. I triple checked all the cable connections on the underside of the logic board since I didn't want to have to take it out again. Any ideas as to why my system runs so hot with the battery in?

Hmm, I never knew that, and thanks for the quick reply! I guess I'll be taking the logic board back out and checking the heatsink and thermal paste application again. It was interesting, one of the screws in my heatsink was totally smooth; never threaded in the factory. I had to order a whole new set of heatsink screws. Perhaps the threading on the logic board itself is off and not letting the heatsink sit flush? That screw did give me some difficulty getting in.

New iPad running really hot

After getting my new iPad set up the way I want it I noticed that it runs really hot; never experienced anything like this with iPad 2. Has anyone else had this problem? Its hot enough that I am concerned.

Robin-
I would be concerned. Some types of batteries have been recalled in the past because they start fires!
The most obvious problem is that a hot iPad suggests the battery will run down quickly. Do you have enough experience to determine how long a full charge will last? I would expect it to be similar to the iPads 1 & 2, which is about ten yours. Someone mentioned that their iPad charge went down ten percent per hour.
I suggest you show your iPad to an Apple Store Genius. If the Genius agrees, you may get a replacement iPad.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

Hi Guys,
Good day to you all!
I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
Best regards,
Aris

It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea. But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac. The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one. Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless. If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for. Do get AppleCare before it is a year old. That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Best way to deal with photos from the start? (Bridge CS5 and iPhoto)

Hi all,
I'm just learning the ropes of the whole CS5 suite, and was starting to add keywords etc. in Bridge when I realized I couldn't access the files in my iPhoto ('09) library. I've read a few threads about this issue, but haven't really found a consensus on how to deal with it.
I figure I'm in a good position to get things right from the start since I have no tags or ratings etc. in my iPhoto setup (and have only added keywords to the few pics that weren't in my iPhoto Library), and am wondering what you think is the best way to sort photos given I plan on using them in web design etc., and all the parts of my CS5 suite.
If getting the photos out of iPhoto is best what's the best way to do that? I've read suggestions to right click on the library and click on "Show Contents"- or something like that, but that does not come up as an option when I right click my iPhoto Library in Bridge. Thanks so much for your help!
Please let me know if there is any info I could give you that would be helpful in order to figure this one out.
Best,
Mara

I must be far too lazy to be sure. In iPhoto if I want to move an image all I
do is click and drag from iPhoto to the desktop.
Here comes the trouble with using iPhoto and mixing applications. You have
to be sure what you do in iPhoto because you easily grab the wrong version
instead of the original.
As Tai Lao pointed out the the difference between Bridge and iPhoto in short
is open visible structure for Bridge and hidden invisible library for
iPhoto.
There may be perfect and valid reason to use iPhoto but mixing the two
workflows without thinking or knowing what you do is bound to get you sooner
or later in trouble with wrong versions of the file.
And clicking and dragging from iPhoto is easy to mistake in those versions.
1 - I used to create incredible folder/sub-folder arrangements depending upon
operating system file management to find files.
You can create whatever structure you want including a thought through
naming convention that suites your needs, if you keep doing this in Bridge
you can easily open and close folders using the folder panel, in iPhoto you
have a lot of events and albums but none as clear as in Bridge. (at least
that is my opinion...)
Also I would prefer to use a good naming convention with less folders and
subfolders instead of bad file naming and many well named folders. Also
using the metadata options description and keywords let's you easily find
the files you want but when having the need to retrieve the original from an
external disk or DVD using less folders will be quicker to find.
Since depending upon metadata keywords or star ratings I now prefer to have
all images (originals and amended) in one single folder as Bridge (or iPhoto
for that matter) can only see the images in the folder it is looking at.
Wrong, using the find option (cmd+F) you can specify Bridge to look in main
folders or entire disk, include the option to look in subfolders and you are
in business (but the first time Bridge caches it also need to index all the
metadata, that takes some time but only the first time.
2 - potential feature request for Bridge?
To have an option where Bridge can see and display images in subfolder
arrangements from the folder it is looking at.
That is already there since a view versions
Select a folder with subfolders and then from the menu view select 'show
items for subfolders'
It is still not a perfect way of functioning but it gets better every new
version, in CS5 the speed of gathering the files is very much improved.
However here is iPhoto the winner because it keeps the files in cache (or
something like that) Bridge is not the best in this behavior but it is
possible to use.
This is a bit like a restriction of OS X "All images" to all images in the
selected folder and all subfolders of the selected folder (if that makes any
sense at all)
Many users have tons of files on there system, why would you use that option
to view all if you are perfectly capable of finding the files or file types
you want in most applications (but you can also find them in OSX, you want
psd files do a search for ".psd" and you will see all the psd files on your
system.
3 - iPhoto can't really handle large files. With one event consisting of
4,500+ images weighing in at 884 MB it is zippy. Were those to be originals
at a high resolution iPhoto would probably be tediously slow and require a
folder/sub-folder arrangement which, to me, seems to undermine the importance
of managing stuff using keywords.
IPhoto is not designed to be a professional application, therefore you can't
expect behavior for this
In Bridge you have no limit of files on your system only the limit for the
cache is somewhere around 500.000 I believe. But even Bridge is not really
designed for handling that amount of files in a pleasant way.
I also don't know of an application that can do so for normal retail prices,
most users of that amount of files have custom made or customized
application that costs many thousands dollars. Bridge is in fact a free gift
when buying a Suite application from Adobe.
The file size for viewing in Bridge is by default set to a max of 1 GB but
that is for building previews you can see thumbs and small previews of
bigger files. In the Bridge preferences you can set the limit for this to
whatever you want, it only grows the cache file for previews when using many
large files.
In summary: Bridge is great for CS5 partnering on metadata, original images or
large filesizes.
I couldn't agree more!
iPhoto is great on sharing images across devices and better
still if those files are low res with small filesizes?
I couldn't disagree more...
You can do all of this using Bridge to start own created actions or with
scripts like image processor.
Do some research on Adobe TV or view other video tutorials on the web, there
are many free and good tutorials. You will learn that you can do all you
want in Bridge (and a lot more...)

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Running a jar from the command line

I am trying to run a Jar from the command line. I have a number of classes in a package called "trainnn".
I put all the classes into a jar
jar cvf name.jar trainnn\*.classI then creat a file called mainClass.txt with the line (with a blank return line after it, where QueryMatch has the main). This file was placed in the same directory as the package and the jar file
Main-Class: QueryMatch
then
jar cmf mainClass.txt network.jar G:/TrainNN/src/trainnn/QueryMatch.classthis worked fine.....but it is from here I have problems when I try run the jar
java -jar network.jarbut get this error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: QueryMatch
I cant figure out this error, I have tried specifying the exact path in the mainClass.txt file but that didnt work.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To start a java app in the command line with "java -jar yourJarFile.jar", the jar needs to have a mainfest file "MANIFEST.MF" in a folder called "META-INF". The manifest file would have to contain the name of your starting class, e.g. it could look like thisManifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.yourCompany.yourProject.YourClass Hope that helps. Cheers, HJK

I am unable to run several iMacros from the commnd line concurrently

The documentation implies that you can run concurrent iMacros by starting Firefox sessions under different profiles. I have tried this, but if I run Firefox from the command line it only takes note of the -P (profile) option if I am also specifying -no-remote (start in a new process). the problem is that to run an iMacro from the command line you have to start a firefox session first, then wait briefly before making the actual firefox call to your iMacro. So I can start a number of separate Firefox sessions under different profiles OK, but when I try to call my iMacros they might go to any of the sessions, and they just end up all hanging.
If I start my Firefox sessions then go into them manually, I can start the iMacros one iMacro in each and they run fine concurrently.

Are these newly purchased films or films purchased in the past that you want to re-download ? The 'check for available downloads' will check for things such as pre-orders that haven't been downloaded yet, and (I think) automatic downloads - it doesn't check for things which you've downloaded in the past but which are no longer in your library. If they are past purchases, then depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries), and whether they are still in the store (film studios occasionally remove them) then they might show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for re-downloading.

Unwanted sounds when logic plays from the start of the track!!! help!!

i would really appreciate if anybody helps me here!
i have logic rewired with reason. i have numerous tracks and instruments on both
all my drums are in reason and when i play the tracks back in logic i get an unwanted kick and a crash at the point i start the song, this happens anywhere between the count in and the first audio in logic.
whe i play it back from the start in reason i dont get these sounds, only when i play it from logic!
there is definately no loose midi data in reason(as there is no place for it ) and i have had draw a long count out in logic just so the track starts after these sounds have faded away?
any advise???

Correction:
This has happened to me lots too, to sessions where I am using a lot of virtual instruments. I don't think you issue has anything to do with ReWire.
I think it has to do with stopping a song before it ends, returning to the start and playing song again. It has to do with lookahead and ram etc ....
The way to avoid this is to back your song start up, or nudge your tracks forward a bit. One bar or less seems to do the trick for me.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Dee
