The internal cooling fan(s) on my MacBookPro have quit running. Possible reasons why?
the cooling fan(s) on my MacBookPro have quit running. Looking for answers to this problem
Now that I think about it, I wouldn't even try inserting a disc or even using it. Without fans you could very well fry things on your mac (as Allan Eckert said) that might end up costing you more. Turn your mac off and don't use it again until it gets looked at.

Should I expect a lot of noice from the internal cooler (fan)? Thx
I hear a strong noice from the cooler when the equipment has a high temperature... (like an airplaine enginee)
Can aomeone tell me if it´s a normal behavior?
Thanks much.
LeandroABSOLUTELY normal. It will be louder when the computer gets hot, thats what it is supposed to do. The fan kicks into higher gear to keep the processor cool and remove the excess heat from the case. I only ever notice my fan when I watch videos for a long period of time. I never hear it any other time.

What are the possible reasons why I cannot reactivate my Iphone5 using my AppleID, even though I already change its password with the help Apple personel
If the password for your Apple ID works at id.apple.com > Manage Apple ID, then it's likely that the Apple ID the device wants you use is not the same as the Apple ID you are using.
Exactly what screen are you at on your iPhone? It sounds like it is in Activation Lock. -

Cooling fan on OS X 10.7.5 runs at high all the time. Have tried SMC reset, putting it to sleep
Cooling fan on Mac desktop OS X 10.7.5 will not turn off. have tried resetting SMC, putting to sleep and force quit programs. Started after replacement of hard drive and LCD cable. Please help! Thanks!
Take it back to whom replaced it.
If you did it, you may need to take it in for service. You have to be very careful how you put the pieces back together and neither put on too much cooling gel which would make it an insulator, and not too little. -
I reset the smu, cooling fan stays on continuously,
Is the cooling fan supposed to stay on all the time? I've had my IMac since late 2009 and the fan never came on until I reset the SMU yesterday, now it stays on. I looked at the activity monitor and all is quiet. Should I reset the SMU again? Thanks for your time.
Reset the SMC again.

Apple claims that because I did not drain my battery frequently and kept it plugged in for extended periods of time, that it is my fault the battery is failing. I disagree because I was not ever told to consistently drain my battery before recharging or not to keep it on and plugs in for extended periods of time. I do keep my desktop computer on most of the time and that is why I have kept my Macbook air on for extended time periods. I feel that Applecare should cover this battey issue and not charge me for replacing the battey. I feel I should have been told to not keep my computer consistently running on with poweror the battery will fail. Has anyone had this problem? Apple should replace my battery under Apple care as my battery does not keep a charge anymore.
I'll wait to hear.You said---Apple claims that because I did not drain my battery frequently
You said--- I was not ever told to consistently drain my battery before recharging
You should never do that on purpose, whoever told you that had it wrong or you misunderstood something
Sure you dont have that backwards? thats exactly what you DONT want to do.
Did you often drain the battery very low? that would explain a lot.
Someone might have been misinformed about "battery calibration" regarding much older Macs with removable batteries (see bottom)
You said-----I do keep my desktop computer on most of the time and that is why I have kept my Macbook air on for extended time periods.
thats a problem there, youre not supposed to do that.
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above: “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
*If you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
Never drain them LOW & dont always/often store them HIGH
While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
*A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific. As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
(as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
From Apple on batteries:

Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
Considerations:
Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance. Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery.
Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
Peace
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Calibrating the battery on older Apple portable Macbooks with removable batteries.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14087
There is no calibration of current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries.
http://support.apple.com/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery. -

Well I checked at PC Progress and I found a Thermaltake Volocano 10+ and a Thermaltake Volcano 12+ for reasonable prices.
Are these good CPU/Heatsinks and if they are...
Would it be better for me to go with the 12+ instead of the 10+ because it's a higher number? What is the difference between those two models?

What are the possible reasons why this R3 info not getting to BW?
Hi,
I have data coming into BW from R3 a datasource DataSorce1; When it gets to BW, SalesOrg numbers 22941 and 22942 comes to BW without problem but 22943 which is a new config. In the R3 master data does not get to BW.
1. What are the possible ways to troubleshoot this?
2. How can I confirm that the data shows in R3: i.e. showing my SalesOrg 22941 and 22942 in R3, and also confirm that 22943 truly exists in R3.
3. How do I confirm that 22943 did not get to BW (if it exists in R3)?
4. What if this is some custom program bringing 22941 and 222942 to BW? How do I see the program name and track down why the third one is not getting to BW?
Please provide the necessary to tcode in all the discussions
Thanks1. 1st thing... If there is no Sales againest Sales Organization. you won't see in Cubes if it is part of Transactional Data. <u>Load New Sales Organization Texts</u>.
1. If it is new Sales Organization as Navigation Attribute only(Assume for Sales Order), try activate your master data for Sales Order. check in your Sales Organizatio IO Master Data and Sales Order Master Data
2. If it is Part of Transactional Data, Check in your RSA3, PSA.
How to check in RSA3?: If you are usng 2LIS_11_VAHDR. goto se16, provide VBAK table, press enter. in the Select for Sales Organization. Put 22943. Provide Order type Standard Order. and Execute. Take any Order Number from output list.
Goto RSA3, provide your choosen sales order in the RSA3 selection in Sales Order field Execute it.
If you are able to find this Sales Order in Both RSA3 and PSA. You are getting Data for 22943 Sales Organization.
case 1: If you are able to see Choosen Sales Order in RSA3, not in PSA. check User Exit Code.
case 2 : If you are able to see Choosen Sales in PSA and Not in Targets. check all transformation.
Are you working with Standard DS(2LIS_11_) or Custom Datasource(Z)?

why int thhe ipod touch 4g geting ios 7
We are all just fellow users here and have no knowledge as to any future updates to iOS 6. If there are, they'll probably be just security update and perhaps bug fixes, with no new features. But we'll just have to wait and see. iOS 5 stopped at 5.1.1, the last version available when iOS 6 was released.
