Screaming Fans - new after over a year
Hi. I've had my MBP (C2D) for over a year. Recently, the fans have started screaming. At the momebt, they are at 3200 rpm and I'm only running Word and a Firefox browser, with 3GB ram and an external 1680x1050 monitor.
Any ideas?
BTW, I'm used to running the machine 'maxed out' - with Windows XP in Parallel taking 1.5G of ram, plus Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom and Entourage and Word, etc. When I do that, the fans totally scream (5000+ rpm) and I can understand that. (Incidentally, shutting down Entourage often stops the fans. Gee, I wonder why).
But now, I'm running almost bare-bones and they are still going up and down between 2500 and 3200. Any suggestions.
One thing to try. Open Activity Monitor and set the upper window to "All Processes". Check through the CPU column and see if anything is running that shouldn't be and using a lot of CPU. Sometimes a process will hang up and cause lots of heat and fan activity.
Right now I have 7 applications open and the CPU is 93%-98% idle.
I presume both fans are running at about the same speed? If one were at zero, I would suspect a thermal sensor had gone out. But it might not hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test anyway just to be sure the thermal sensors are functioning properly. If not, you'll get an error code with "SNS" in it.
Good luck!

Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

Suddenly unable to connect to Orange Livebox after over a year of use
I have been able to successfully connect to my Orange Livebox since getting my Ipod touch over a year ago but suddenly can't any longer. My livebox shows the Ipod as paired & Wifi enabled & my Ipod can see my Livebox but just wont connect. It says unable to join Livebox. It asks for the password which I enter (I never had to do that before it started playing up) but it still wont let me in.
I've treid to reset back to factory settings & reset network. It won't let me "forget this network" & try to pair again.
Any ideas most welcome please as I'm getting very frustrated.
Thank you."E_ADEPT_IO ActivationServiceInfo...", means that ADE could not contact the Adobe activation server (adeactivate.adobe.com). If you network is setup correctly and you can get to the server in the browser, then the next most likely problem is a firewall (McAffee, LittleSnitch, etc...) prevent ADE from getting outside network access.

Ready to move my service after over 8 years
It was time for my upgrade so I decided to go with the LG Vortex because they were free online. Well after I ordered and recieved the phones I found that I had ordered two new lines instead of upgrading my lines. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to a corporate store to fix the problem. Then I was told I had to send the free phones back and buy ones at the store and my account would be creadited. Well, it was NOT and was told I had to pay for them. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! I have been a customer since 2003 and never late on a payment and this is how they treat their loyal customers!! Not anymore I am moving services as soon as my contract is up.
When ordering them online, did you purchase them as "An Existing Customer" and not "New Customer"?
There are 2 different options under "Existing Customer" - "Upgrade your Phone" and "Add a Line"
If you did not select Upgrade Your Phone, you have only yourself to blame for this. The different options are clearly laid out when purchasing online. -
DSL down EVERY month for over a year!
This is both sad and ridiculous that I've have had my DSL internet go down pretty much every month for over a year now and I can never ever get a reason, requested call back or decent credit/discount for all my pain, suffering, time and heartache this has caused me!
Finally after over a year of calling and verizon telling me EVERTIME that my line is coming up with an issue did I get an agent who finally listened to me that it's every month and said "I'm going to fix this for good!" He told me that he was going to authorize my line be changed over or something- said its costly to Verizon but since its documented that there really is outages every month from my line he will do it he also gave me 800 number said when all was said and done I could call and receive credits for my constant issues! Said my internet would be down few hours while this was being done but he would call me as soon as it was done on Monday he "promised" well this was end of June 2015, maybe 22nd anyway morning came and like he said no internet and got text that Verizon was coming, ok no idea what time it went down but I got up at like 8 am and it was down well now it's like 2pm and still down and never once did I see a Verizon truck nor did I get any call - I call 800 # told my line is still showing being worked on but he would call and check what was going on... Comes back said they are still working on it but they said you can reboot your router/modem. "Would you like me to assist with that?" I say yes and he gets me back on and says I will get a call as soon as everything is all set with my line, he confirms both my phone numbers and I thank him. I go to work and still hear nothing so at around 10pm I call Verizon and get someone from India saying my line is still being worked on and that I would receive a call when fixed. We hang up and I call the 800 number I was given for my credit, agent was nice but said if line is being worked on still I can't get any credits until work is completed well I get a beep on my phone and ask agent if she could hold on I think Verizon was calling me back... It was the agent from India saying he now sees my work is completed (at like 10:30 pm) so I thank him go back to agent from America and tell her so she says "let me check again" comes back says I'm sorry I'm showing on my end still down and says I should call back tomorrow to get my discount. I call back next morning and I was told that she didn't see any work done on my line that agent talked me through router/modem reset and fixed issue! I was like NOOOO! She said she would make some more calls because she read the notes and said I was right this makes no sense.... She said unfortunately I couldn't get a straight answer but I'll take money off for your inconvenience! Ok now it's almost 3 weeks later and my internet is completely down!!!! I call and I'm told "I see your internet is going down on a pretty regular basis let me call a level 2 tech stand by"he comes back says I'm in luck tech said they are going to reroute my lines! I was like WOOOOO I was told 3 weeks ago that was done and that I want to be connected to that tech or tech manager or supervisor and he tells me he can't connect me but assures me they will call me back.... Nothing... Today I get a text saying my issue will be fixed by Wednesday Juky 15th ... Still no call so around 2pm I call get agent who just keeps saying my issue will be resolved by Wednesday I tell her I want tech supervisor to call me! She says that she can't but assures me once issue is corrected Wednesday a tech supervisor will call me! I said no you guys always say that and that I want a tech supervisor... She tells me she put in a remark and that a tech supervisor will call me...
HOW DO I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM YOU GUYS? I have pretty much every service you provide in my area! Home phone, DSL, directv through you, personal cell phone, work phone! Not counting my work phone I'm paying over $320 a month and I'm always on time and been a loyal customer for so many years that I now lost count and you have made my family's internet experience a living nightmare not to mention that every time my internet goes down it screws up my surveillance cameras go down and the camera guy now charges me a fee to come down and get them going on my network because it's so frequent and keeps telling me to go Comcast! I'm going broke staying with Verizon and I WANT someone to call me and explain what's going on and take ownership and comp me for all the time I wasted! All this and Verizon wireless won't even throw me a few more gigs a month on my service since I have to use my wireless cell gb's due to my verizon DSL being down and not being able to get online any other way!Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you.

My macbook pro is just over 2 years old....for the last couple of months it has been running very slowly,the beachball is in permanent residence!
I have been advised I need a new hard drive....after only 2 years I'm not at all impressed. Is this normal?Over a very large sample of drives, these drives are very reliable, despite being moved around inside laptops.
You do not have a very large sample, you have ONE drive. Anything that happens, from having it run for twenty years to having it die on the first day, is within the normal range.
The rapid resolution to your problem IS to replace the drive. At your leisure, you may find that after re-writing every block with Zeroes (a process that can take half a day and has no guarantee of success) enough spare blocks can be found to return the drive to service. Or maybe not. If you are willing to invest the time and energy to do this, you may get a nice backup drive, or you may get a doorstop. No one can predict ahead of time. -
I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years. Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time. Tried restarting computer. Version says it is up to date.
How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?Thanks for the response. The application was crashing. A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked. It had failed dozens of times before. -
It was working fine for over a year. We installed a new wifi system - could that have anything to do with it? It connects fine but will not play any sound? Any suggestions
Thank you...I did try that and it did not work. I've tried just about everything. Today I tried hooking up to a different TV that does not have a receiver and it works fine. I guess it has something to do with my receiver but I just can't figure it out.

After having my iphone 4 for over a year, the front screen cracks :(
So after having my Iphone 4 for over a year and purchasing the apple CARE protection plan, apple is acting as if they do not care about me and my phone. I have never traded in my phone and never had a problem with it until now. My screen is cracked and when i tried to go to the store to get it fixed, all they tell me is sorry you have to get a new phone for $199. My husband and iI are a huge apple fans. We have a mac book, mac mini, ipad 1 and 2 and 2 iphone4s. We are very loyal to Apple, but after this experience, I don't see how i can continue to be. I purchased the apple care plan and thought i would be able to use it since i never had a problem with my phone but they proved me wrong. I didn't want to have to purchase a whole new phone with the iphone 5 coming out because i plan to purchase that in the first shipment. I'm so disapointed and heart broken. I don't know what to do. I wanna cry right now. When it rains it pours. Just disapointed that this had to happen with APPLE!!!! and now i'm reading some of these responces and learning that some people have gotten their phones changed for FREE?!?!?!?!?!? What's up with that? I feel apple should give everyone one OOPS clause. and after that then you have to fend for yourself especially if we have to pay for a protection plan that we will not use or will not transfer to another phone.
So disapointed

Ford isn't going to fix your car for free when it gets wrapped around a tree.
With the advent of the iPhone 4S and AppleCare+, the geniuses at the Apple Stores lost the freedom to replace damaged phones at their discretion.
There is no "oops" clause in the warranty. If you've paid for Apple Care, that coverage will transfer to a replacement phone, provided you pay Apple for the out of warranty replacement. -
Printer is overprinting old jobs on top of new jobs. Using a Mac with OSx and a HP photosmart for over a year. this just started happening.
RReset printing system again and the restart in Safe Mode . This will clear some caches,to do this hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears, after it has fully booted restart normally and add the printer.

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to back up onto it. I haven't backed up my old one in over a year because there's not enough storage. How would I back up on iCloud to a Dell or Toshiba computer?
Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

As i said abouve,
Ive had my ipod just over a year now and its deciding to play up and wipe the whole thing so its like brand new untill i sync it with itunes again, but this time it wont seem to restor the ipod goes onto a black screen with the apple logo and a bar that is ment to fill up but this bar doesnt seem to be doing anything after a while it just flashes white and comes up with the sync to itunes picture.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
BecIf you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

First I am not new to Adobe I have had it for over 10 years. My last pdf was created about 2 months
First I am not a new user of Adobe. I have had it for over 10 years. Up to two months ago I have not had a problem scanning my documents in and creating pdfs. Now it scans but I when I go to read the file there is an error message. What is going on? When I first scanned I could read the file and when I tried to send the file an error accured. On my second try I could not even open the file to read it. What is up?
Mherrera32,
We would be sad to see you leave the Verizon Wireless family after so many years! We love your loyalty and hope to continue to being your provider for many more years to come. When are you able to upgrade? You can always check by dialing #UPG from your Verizon Wireless device.
When the phone freezes is it random or when you are doing one certain function on the phone? Have you been able to test the device out in Safe Mode for a few hours to see if that will still continue the freezing issues? You can find the steps on how to place the phone into safe mode by following this link: http://vz.to/1qW3L7e Please keep us posted.

I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.
