Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.

From http://xlr8yourmac.com/
Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.
When we were testing V0.5 of SpeedIt we discover a strange behavior, if we remove the battery of our MacBook the temperature drop because the maximum operational frequency of the CPU become reduce to 1.0 Ghz.
We were investigating more on this, and we found why this happen, the SMC subsystem when battery is not detected, activate the Thermal Trip indicator and the CPU get into Thermal Throttle, reducing the frequency to 1.0 Ghz and minimum voltage.
You will find this and other "hidden features" with the documentation of the upcomming version of SpeedIt.
We decided to published this in advance because a user "no-one" write about this matter on the forums. He is a good tester we'll liek to take him in account . More information on the forums.
Apple Mac Intel SMC Firmware Update
We have been testing the lasted firmware update and the conclusions are:
* The fans run at more revolutions always.
* The Temperature drop more or less between 5 to 10 ºC
* The voltage values of the CPU change.
* The MacBook is cooler but more noise.
* To get into sleep need a minimum of 5 seconds, after
you close your lid.
* Don't put in your bag until you hear that the fan
stop, some times the MacBook don't get into sleep.
More detailed report and data soon.

yeah its pretty ridiculous that an individual pays all that money for a machine that Apple continually trumpet to be better than a PC machine and then it falls down at these niggly little turns.
Other machines, can run at full speed with battery of, no ?
Why is it ridiculous ?
If I use my unit for some hardcore music / video editing sessions, I will take it off the battery so Im not constantly charging / recharging the battery - is that ridiculous ?
Am I going to be pis%£% when my expensive machine, I paid mad dough for is going to perform like a snail as opposed to what it can really - YOU BET !
"Beeing a picky customer is a MUST in this case. I realy don`t understand the people who are trying to protect this company no matter what happens. You HAVE to remember that it is not a privilage for you that you own Mac. It is a privilage FOR Apple that you decided to spend big time money on their products. It is your DUTY to be picky and strict."

Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

Hi,
I am doing development in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
Thanks

I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript. I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages. Can anyone verify this?
The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

I plugged in iPhone 5 charger to my MacBook Pro and it immediately shut down and I can't get it restarted. Any ideas how to do this without removing the battery?

If you have your MBP charger, try a SMC reset:

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

HI there all, have got a 2 year old macbook pro that just recently wont start up. Even if I know the battery is fully charged. What I have to do is remove the battery, wait a minute or so, insert back in and it will fire up. Any ideas?

Try the old two stand-by's first:
Reset PRAM, and;
Reset SMC.
If that doesn't help, call back,

Small electric shocks, laptop refused to start until I remove the battery and put it back in.

I own a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series i7537T-5005sLV.
A short while ago I tried to power on my laptop but it didn't come on. I thought that the battery drained and I didn't notice however when I plugged in the power cord no lights came on. I decided to open up the laptop and remove the battery and put back the battery and try to power on the laptop. It came on after doing that and I saw lights again.
I also notice that after reseating the battery, the latency between pressing the power button and the laptop actually coming on is shorter. It is almost instantaneous.Before there was about a 1.5 seconds delay. (THIS COULD BE MY IMAGINATION THOUGH)
I also noticed that I got little "pinches" or small shocks when my skin comes in contact with the edge of the laptop, especially at the end of the palm rest area. The shocking sensation could be cause the hair on my hands as my skin brush along the edges of the laptop as I type. I say this because I've never experienced a shock touching anywhere else on the laptop and I never felt a shock while using the tips of my fingers to touch the edges.
One last thing I feel I should mention. Around the SD card slot area there is a small dent protruding outwards; barely noticeable. It was a brand new laptop and the seal on the box wasn't broken or tampered with so I am assuming that this was a manufacture's defect. One I was willing to overlook since the dent wasn't that bad and added some character to the laptop. However I am beginning to worry that the unit might be damaged and that is why I had the power issue.
The laptop is about two weeks old. I had to replace the first one because the display had horizontal waves running from top to bottom. Even in the BIOS. They were especially visible against gray backgrounds.
I don't want to have to return another one and I like the laptop but if it is unsafe to use then I'd rather send it back and keep my life.

Hi Groudie,
I would suggest you to use the system in a work place or your friends place to check if issue reoccurs.

Will removing the battery format the drive?

Hi,
My girlfriend has a Macbook unibody A1342. It was working fine until I updated it to mavericks. Noe the USB's don't work. So after trying everything (reset pram nvram etc etc) the only other option I can find is to remove the battery for about 60 seconds...then plug it back in again.
Will this mess her drive up? Will it mean I have to reinstall OSX?
I know it probably won't but I really wanted to double check first as I can't save anything from it to USB or external.
Thanks!!!

Well none of the above has worked so far. I ordred a powered usb hub that still doesn't get recognised. The hub itself is fine as it works on my macbook pro and also a windows pc I tried it on.
The hub will light up without the external power (usb cable only) when plugging it into either usb port on the macbook a1432. So this tells me there's definitely power getting in there. The macbook just doesn't show anything or detect anything plugged into it even with external power.
The iPhone doesn't charge either.
This is driving me crazy. All my girlfriend want's to do is be able to sync her new iPhone to her itunes so she can put music on it and back it up. Wifi option isn't optional at the moment as the iPhone has never been synced to this particular computer.
Thanks

HT3964 hi if my mac will not turn on, have unplugged, removed the battery, did control option and esc still to no avail help please

If a macbook pro will not turn on, the screen is black, have unplugged, removed the battery, have done command option and esc to no avail, also once battery was removed held down the power button for 5 seconds still no working screen,. However when not plugged in the green light appears on the bottom front of the computer and it stays green after a few minutes it stays green then goes out. Help!! .

In that case, the computer is dead, probably with a logic board problem. Take the Mac to an Apple Store to get your computer diagnosed and repaired

Updated to 4.4 and now my Bluetooth 'studders' when listening to music and a phone call. Yes I have reset the phone and removed the battery.

I just updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2. Since then when I listen to music or make a call on my Bluetooth my music and calls 'studders' and has some type of 'drop-outs' during the music and calls. This was not the case prior to the update.
Yes, I have power down the phone. Yes, I have removed the battery and restarted the phone. My Bluetooth headset is an LG 730. I tried listening to music on my other Bluetooth devices and they also 'studders' and has drop-outs during calls and music. I connected with a wired headset and the 'studdering' disappeared.
Is there a way to revert back to the previous 4.3 version of Android. I use my phone extensively for business and drive with it. The law for my state requires 'hands free' usage of my phone.

Unfortunately, I was forced to do a factory Reset. This wiped the device to a new state.
Afterwards all Blue-tooth, wi-fi and calls operated fine.
I would advise that you notify your customers that they would most likely have to do a Factory Reset once they update their device.
All contacts, pictures, data and applications were either lost or had to be reinstalled.

Macbook performance without the battery

I use the macbook pro for editing video in Final cut pro, and sometimes when I am at home I remove the battery.
and then I choose better performance, but the performance is not so good, i have constantly drop frames warning in the Final Cut.
I've read about that a lot, and most people say that if remove the battery the macbook pro runs in half perfomance.
And my question is,
can I get total perfomace of the Macbook pro connected to the power without the battery, like I have when I got the battery on it???
thanks

> but can you explain me why??
Not fully, some call it a bug others a feature/thermal protection.

To switch the mac off i have to remove the battery...

My macbook is a 2007 model.
I unfortunately dropped sweet water on it. Of course i saw it hours later and it didn't work...
So i opened the machine, cleaned everything with clean water, then dried it with a hairdryer.
Once everything was dry, for sure, i reassembled the mac, but i have some problems now.
On the motherboard i pushed a black button, and it's impossible to unpush... i guess it's a kind of overcloaking ? Why can't it get unpushed ? So now the computer starts, but the keyboard doesn't work, and to switch the mac off i have to remove the battery...
Is it because of this button ? (couldn't get anything about it on the net...). Is it "just" because of the water ?
Thanx in advance

i also have a safari issue outstanding for a couple of weeks and am now wondering if this is part of the issue?

Is it safe to always keep the PC plugged in after removing the battery pack?

As I'm not going to move my pc for some time, I have removed the battery pack and use the AC power instead.
But I would like to know whether its safe to keep it plugged into the AC 24/7? and does it consume energy or does it damage anything when the pc is switched off?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

its okay, i use to do it all the time with other thinkpads when my battery died on me. It won't damage your laptop.
