The Case of the Constant Fan

My sister's Macbook had it's Superdrive replaced recently, and since then the fan runs constantly. Is this a software fix?
Peperkorn

so it is not updated yet, for it was the previous version.
it is up to you to update, but for me, I always update what apple offer for me.
if you decide to update, make sure you connect to internet connection and click blue apple at right corner and select software update, and go from there.
make sure you repair permission after you do so.
Good Luck.

HT3255 Do the cases for the Macbook 13.3' air 2011 model fit the Macbook 13.3' air 2008 model?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air 13.3' late 2008 model. I am looking for a case. Do the cases for the 2011 still fit the 2008 model?

Generally speaking yes, but check the manufacturer's website to be sure.

Where can I buy an ipad2 case with the same design as the case for the original ipad?

I thought the case for the original ipad was great, but it doesn't quite fit the ipad2. Is there somewhere I can find a case with that same design, but fitted for the ipad2?

The Case of the Disappearing Clones

Ok, here's a new one for me.
I was cloning a cloud edge, and examining my work. The History palette was blocking my view, so I moved it. Instead, it jumped to the palette bar. Brought it back and tried to move it again. Same thing. Huh? I opened it for the third time, carefully clicked on the top of the History and this time it moved off the edge of the image. But look! The clones have disappeared from the image, but they are still present in the palette! I ran back and forth up History and nothing. There they are in History, there they aren't on the image. Not a big deal, redo the clones. Looks better than before anyway, but still, where are the first ones?
(Yeah, I know. Dual monitors and all that. But consider if I have dual monitors, this puzzle never would have appeared! Or would they?)
Win7 64, CS5 with all the patches.
Oh, and Happy New Year.

Thanks for getting back Noel.With a name like yours, tis the season!
Last first. Nothing wrong with dual monitors except for my cramped desk space. I probably will change that as soon as any of my potential clients actually materializes. Been quite slow!
So far as screen shots and such, it would have been nice had I anticipated this event, but there it was and I had to write down what I could recall as to the steps leading up to the event. Saving it would lose history so I proceeded rather slowly to try and glean whatever I could.
Now, a variation on this occurred about an hour later. This time I was using the Burn Dodge tool. I flattened the file first, then proceeded to use the tool, and suddenly noticed that nothing happened when a went backwards through history, as if I didn't actually burn anything. The setting for the brush looked ok, and then I noticed that the file is no longer flattened! WTF! I was deliberate in doing so, and even if I went back to before flattening in History, flattened should be visible and available as I drop down through History. According to History, I never flattened it. This could also be the case in the first instance. I thought I had flattened it but it wasn't. I assumed I didn't flatten.
At this point, I have to consider that a prefs reset is adviseable, but before doing that, I really want to see if I can replicate either event. So far, no dice.
I checked the History setup to see if non-linear History was checked and it isn't. But it sure seems like it is.
One unusual condition is that last night, before going out for New Years, I saved my work but left PS running with the file open. So, this morning, I proceeded to do the little detail work on the open file as I intended to run some test prints.
That's when it all started.
Note: as I am writing this, I'm also checking out the app. I just tried to open PS. The icon in the tray showed PS is not running, but I cannot open it. The executable doesn't run. I've seen this before in Win7 and I usually open Task Manager and shut down the program. I see this on any number of programs, like even Fire Fox. But this time I noticed two versions of PS running. I didn't think this was possible. One shows a large memory component 670,000k, the other about 6,000k. Huh? I shut down the smaller one and get a message that this is an illegal action, but it shuts down anyway.(That notice lasted only seconds and went away.) I try again, I again see the second version in Processes, the same 6000k memory size. Now it shuts down with no notice. I know I saved the file and did tell PS to exit, so I shut down both instances of PS. Now it opens correctly.
I'm of a mind that there is some corruption going on.The fact that programs won't close when I exit does bother me. ( I'd hate to think about reinstalling the whole shootin' match!) What I will do is enable the History log. and see if I can capture any information.

G'day,
I need some help, i am trying to type into an adobe document using the typewriter function.
However every time after i type the text vanishes. It is almost as if the text is white and vanishes into the background.
This is not the case as the works are not visible regardless of the background color.
The text box remains available and can be edited if clicked on, also if i double click on it the typed words become visible and editable, however once i close the box i cannot see them on the screen.
I would appreciate any help i can get, i cant seem to do anything using properties or view.

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Because charging the iPod battery generates heat which may become excessive if the iPod is left in a case. If you don't allow the heat to escape, then you risk damage to the iPod.

The lcd screen of my 15-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2009) is separating from the case. The glue failed due to the heat. How can I get Apple to fix this factory flaw?

The heat vented from the back of the laptop caused the glue to fail and now the screen is separating from back of the lcd case near the hinges. I know for a fact that this issue is known by Apple as I have seen the issue reported at least a dozen times. This laptop was considerably more expensive than any comparable laptop at the time I bought it. I bought it believing that I was buying a quality product from a quality company. I've owned many laptops and I have never seen anything like this. My laptop is out of warranty but this is really besides the point. This is clearly a factory defect that Apple should remedy. What do I need to do to get Apple to fix this design flaw?

Ask Apple.

S.O.S. - The case of the missing TIme Capsule icon

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to a local network.
Our Macbook Air, iPad and three iPhones all have WiFi. No problem.
My Macbook Pro has solid black radiating bars in the main menu. In Airport Utility, it shows the "Internet Globe" with a green circle below. Below that, however all I get is a spinning wheel. At the same time, the Macbook Air shows the icon of the time capsule with a green circle below.
Is there a setting I am missing? Some said to turn off Mac Access, but I do not know where to do that. In System Preferences, Wi-Fi is green, and it says WiFi is connected.
I ran all of the maintenance (rebuilt Directory, optimized the drive, weekly/monthly scripts, etc) All of the hardware checks out.
Has anyone had this happen? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Paul Kirtley

This is typical Yosemite.. please confirm OS on Pro and Air.. Yosemite, has the network ability of a pair of tin cans with wet string. (that dried and snapped).
The odd thing of course is the MBP is on the internet.. but perhaps just too stupid to figure out the local network.
So here is the first few things to try.
1. Factory reset the TC.. sounds odd when it is working already .. but please do the setup with the computer that is having the most trouble.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
2. After a reset it should suddenly show up as new device.. please run the setup utility from the pro.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgenx and TCwifi. Base station and wireless names respectively.
3. Use WPA2 Personal security only. Use pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers password.
4. If you have issues plug in by ethernet.
5. Set ipv6 in network preference for wireless and if used, ethernet. to link-local only.
Tell me how this goes.. if it works in the pro you can then pick it up in the Air etc.

HT1725 My downloads on itunes show the songs downloaded however when you play them that is not the case. The download was not completed unsucessfully. What can I do?

My recently purchased songs indicate the download was completed, however that is not the case. When you try to play the song it does not work. Any ideas to fix the problem?

Hello,
Here's how I got my songs to play correctly:
1) Delete the songs that aren't playing from your iTunes library.
2) Download the songs again from the iTunes Store for
free. For information about downloading past purchases, see:

I have sent my iPhone for repair, but the case has the wrong description, I have called and talked to Apple Support, and told them the actual case and they told me thats what it was for and my Warranty covered it.. When will I get a new iPhone or mine?

I filed for a case and my One-Year warranty is still available until Jne 2014 , somehow the description in the case is mixed up and says it was cracked or dropped, but the real reason is the Audio goes out on my iPhone 5 after the iOS 7.1 update every 20 minutes and I have to restart it. I talked to apple support and they told me my warranty will cover the audio issue, but it still doesn't say that in the repair description. How can I see that? or will they already know? Apple has told me that they will, but I don't want it to be mixed up and me have to pay for something and it not being my fault.

Besides checking the support status assuming you filed the case with your Apple ID, there is nothing more you can do. Nobody here knows that as nobody here works for Apple. We are users like you. Apple does not monitor this forum. You will have to contact Apple support for the information if you cannot get it the way I described.

The case of the missing photos: Urghhh!

So I have been using iPhoto for years with little to no problem. Until Now! I have been importing my photos from my Nikon D40 (often lots) editing them and satisfied. The next time I open iPhoto all the photos are missing! No thumbnails/photos/ no photos I had trashed from the last import in the trash. Since I have sent a bunch to my girlfriend post editing by then I have her send them back and add them to iPhoto. And they are in their under "last import". The next time I open iPhoto they (the "emailed back to me" photos) are once again gone. This has happened to all photos imported since early March when it began? I have done nothing new, changed no preferences, everything is up to date, and I have rebuilt the iPhoto library twice between occurrences. This after much time spent editing children's photos too of which I cannot replace all. Please anyone......Thanks. dennis

First, do you keep your library in the default location, your User/Pictures folder? If so then try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Fix #3 - Last Ditch Scenario
Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

The case of the mysterious hidden content - second hand iMac

Dear people with more knowledge than me... (i.e. dear everyone...)
I have recently purchased a second hand intel iMac (late 2006 model) to replace my trusty (but noisy) Powermac G4 Mirror Door Drive. It was purchased 'wiped' with a fresh install of Lion.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a backup of my old hard drive (or at least the 60GB partition of it that I was using - I had Tiger installed on it) and then used the Migration Assistant to re-create an image of Zion in the wide expanses of the new promised land (250GB capacity).
All seemed to go well (but time consuming - it took several days to port everything to/from my USB external hard-drive). A few days later, when I checked About this mac I was shocked to discover that I only had 5GB of storage remaining.
I did a little poking about and realised I had left a couple of user profiles hanging around during my pre-Migration Assistant faffing. These duplicated much of what I had later migrated over more comprehensively, so I deleted these additional user profiles and this freed up a further 58GB or so.
My system information now tells me that I have
249.2 GB Capacity
63.69 GB Available
185.5 GB Used
The used component consists of:
Audio 137.47 GB
Movies 7.03 GB
Photos 9.74 GB
Apps 3.34 GB
Backups 0
Other 27.94 GB
However, when I go through all my available files and folders using the Finder, the grand total of space that I have used comes to around 88GB:
My home folder (the only user profile I didn't delete) 42.98 GB
Desktop 4.09 GB (I know, I know, clean your room...)
Applications 2.31 GB
Documents 2.8 MB (yes MB)
Movies 0
Music 38.59 GB
Photos 385 KB (yes KB)
Total ± 80GB
Leaving aside for a moment the fact that the disk partition I Migrated over was only 60GB in total (?!), where on earth are the other 97.5 GB of files, and how can I see/delete them to free up drive space I thought I had...?
...I imagine that the audio, movies etc., that are unaccounted for actually belong(ed) to the previous owner of the iMac. What I don't know how to do is see/access/delete them to free up disk space. There are no additional users other than my own account that I can see. That's not to say they are not there.
What can I do?
Thank you in anticipation of any help or advice.

the (hidden) folder _CCC Archives takes up a whopping 107 GB, much of which consists of multiple copies of the same audio files (due to poor file management and copies of copies, I think..). I'm now looking for a utility that will be able to locate and list duplicate files so I can verify that the _CCC Archives folder files are replicated elsewhere.
I use CCC, but not the "archive" feature (since my main backups are made with Time Machine).
According to it's Help, that folder contains the backup copies of files that had been changed on the "source" drive.
But this large folder is on your internal HD, right? Here's what I think happened:
When you made the original CCC clone from your old Mac, you selected the option to "archive" the copies of things that had been changed. For some period of time, it did that.
Later, when you used Migration Assistant, it copied all those old files from the clone (via the Other files and folders on <HD name> option) back on to your new internal HD.
So yes, the files there should be prior versions of things on your system.
There are various options to have CCC manage those files. You can assign a certain size to it, and it will delete the oldest files when necessary to make room for new ones; or "prune" files after a specified number of days, etc.
Click Help in the CCC menubar, then CCC help, then review the Backup and archiving settings section:

The case of the unbootable Macbook Air running Lion

I upgraded to Lion without issue on release day. This is a previous gen Macbook Air with all options including upgraded processor that ran Snow Leopard with no issues. It's literally a month and a half old.
Last night I closed the lid just as the battery was about to die; this morning, I had some trouble waking it up and connecting it to my monitor. A short time later I unplugged it and relocated to a coffee shop to work, and I couldn't get it to boot past the gray screen with the spinner. After several restarts and a bit of futzing around I booted into the Recovery partition and ran Disk Utility. Basically...
1) Disk Utility can't fix the issue, and tells me to back up my drive, format and reinstall.
2) I went to an Apple Store where the suggested solution was just to replace the drive. I let them order the part, but kept the machine to try and do some diagnostics of my own (since they really didn't do any).
3) I can see my boot partition from in the Terminal in the recovery partition, but trying to recover files onto an external drive is a no go. I get messages about not being able to copy "extended attributes" and the copies never finish successfully.
Basically I'm up a creek. I have some backups but hadn't had a chance to do one this morning before all this went down. I'm also having issues getting the Lion installer to even run. All in all, this is a mess. There must be some way to fix what's wrong with the disk but I have no idea how. Not having an optical drive makes booting into Disk Warrior a challenge.
I'm hoping someone else out there has had a similar issue with Lion and was able to resolve it. Right now, my pet theory is that my MBA had some issues as it was writing the contents of RAM to disk and it now has a corrupted boot record. There are inconsistencies on the boot volume but of course Disk Utility can't fix them. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi
I'm very sure that if bought the MBA from Apple oran Apple Retailer you would get pretty quick satisfaction. I know both my lcal Apple Retailer and the downtown Apple store would provide me a new MBA right away.
I'd go back to teh folks that sold it to you as a starter.
