Some of my CPU cores will go up to 96 degrees when using iMovie. The Mac will get really loud, too. Should I be concerned?

It will also do this on other intensive applications. But, even if I exit out iMovie and nothing is running, it will randomly start churning up.

Yeah, that's why they're called CPU-intensive programs.
You can put a laptop stand or pad underneath to improve ventilation and cooling. Some models even come with extra fans to enhance the process.

Why would my i7 Quad-core with 20 GB RAM run slowly when using PE12 for Mac

Hi, I am evaluating the trial version of PSE 12 for Mac but it is so slow. Are there any good reasons for this as all other programs run fine.

I don't know if you can do this with the trial, but try going to editor>help>updates and running the update to 12.1. It greatly improves performance on the mac.

Looking from the many users complaining, I am a bit scared whether should i proceed update to ios 8.0.2 to my ipad 2 or not? Does any one know news whether issues will be really fixed or should i stay on version 7 only?

Ipad Air dead after installing IOS 8.0.2
I have just downloaded and installed this version of IOS on my Ipad Air and it is DEAD.
It won't start up.
When I connect my Ipad to my MacbookPro, Itunes tells me the following:
"iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
What now? restore? try to remove 8.0.2?
what a misery!!

I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore from backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup. Will it go back if I restore?

I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore it from the backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup that I want to select. Will it go back to Leopard if I restore it from the backup?

No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

After you restore from TM, check HD > Incompatible Software

I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, when I visit some website and I return to my search results I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE).

Question
I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

Try resetting your printer margins in '''about:config'''.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''print_margin'''
Right-click and select '''Reset''' for both '''''margin_left''''' and '''''margin_right''''' for that particular printer, and then restart Firefox. If you have ever used other "printers" in that Firefox Profile, you'll have separate groups of preferences listed for each printer.

I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

My Toshiba will get really hot on the bottom and then power itself off

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. When I am on it, the underside will get really hot, and it will shut itself off. If I unplug the power cord from the laptop and then plug it back in, it will power up again. Can someone tell me what is going on, and if I need to send it in to be repaired?? It isn't under warranty anymore so it is going to cost me, but I don't want my laptop to catch on fire either as that is how hot it gets sometimes. I just let it cool down before plugging it back in and playing on it again.

TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

When will the Mac OS get some color ?

.. I am really getting bored with all the GREY !

yea but riddle me this, john everyman spends his had earnt 1k on his mac book (which he appreciates), is it so much to ask to be able to change the colour? seems like a fairly basic function in customising your OS to match your style. Dieter Rams (the designer) once said (paraphrasing) that the designer should leave as little a mark on the product being designed so that the consumer may make it his own. Now I can understand if you think the xp colours were lame, i agree, but I'd still rather have the decision. Personally I'm a big fan of change, I like changing the appearance of the things I live with constantly, I shuffle all the furniture around my room regularly. I used to own a windows pc with vista installed, and I changed the colour of the windows constantly. When someone picked up my laptop, they'd know it was mine and not theres, cos I left my mark on it.. With mac its just allll grey, i mean, mac picked one colour, sure it has to be bright and neutral, but grey is as dull as it gets, its like it has the aesthetic equivalent of concrete. Anyways, nice one with the new OS, now I can take bug eyed pictures of myself, but still have to put up with my concrete windows. for all those who enjoy the grey, I'm not asking them to remove it, In my imaginary dream world, a better place, where my mac is customizable and defineable by something other than the background (which despite best efforts is constantly swarmed with random files), grey will become classic grey, and all you fans of it can keep it on, and continue listening to self help tapes and pretending your not old and boring jk
anyways I want some blue today, and tomorrow, I could well want some yellow or who knows, one day I might go pink, but I want the choice! It's my right to a choice of colour, considering how much I paid for this laptop.
So if anyones withe me, on my crusade for Mac's OS's pigment freedom, then start makin a big deel out of it. I remember another OS which was grey, it was windows, a kajillion years ago, somewhere between discovering fire and inventing the wheel.
steve, save my eyes

I'm having trouble with the volume of my i phone 4s when using headphones, the sound will only appear when the volume is at its highest, any lower and all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem? Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm using a white iPhone 4s with 16gb memory and having some problems. Whenever I use earphones the sound will be heated when the volume is at the highest if I turn it down any lower all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem as I would appreciate it much.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8. When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files." When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory. When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message. How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document? Please, help!! thank you!!!

A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.

I am in mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book will not boot up & stays only on the grey apple screen. When I verify the disk I get open error5 :input /output error on Syst stuck on 1 minute pouring out over 50 error messages & still counting

I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up & stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages & still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
I can not verify disk or repair disk .
I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
Does anyone know what is going on here ?
My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

Some of my CPU cores will go up to 96 degrees when using iMovie. The Mac will get really loud, too. Should I be concerned?
