Well, the iBook's fan finally turned on after almost a year.

I had Camino, iTunes, Quicktime, Office 2004, and AppleWorks all running at the same time. That's amazing for an outdated laptop with such a small amount of RAM. My old original Mac Mini with only 256 megs could only dream of such abuse. Just thought I would post some positive Apple news for a change. Oh, and the OS 10.4.9 update was flawless.

If you added Photoshop CS2, Aperture, or Final Cut Pro to the list, then I'd be impressed.
For a change, it's nice to see some positive news in the forum!

HT4199 I am having the problem of "connection timed out" suddenly after almost two years of use of the same internet connection.

I had left my apple to download an update on OS Lion overnight and found that the Mac had been disconnected from the internet with a window showing the words 'Connection timed out". I have tried all sort of stuff including turning off and switching on my modem, the Mac, deleting entirely the key chain access (at the loss of all my other passwords which I am now rebuilding), deleting the network in my Settings and trying Assist Me to register again, all in VAIN!
Please help.

Connection timed out to what? Everything? If so, then before wiping your disk, reinstalling, further deleting your keychain entries or other related activities, please check with your ISP and see if there's a network outage, or if you've exceeded some download quota.

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library. I am back to using Overdrive and adobe again on my ipad.
Thank you.

The video on the Camera app seems to turn off after a few min...I am trying to do a 20 min video. What am I doing wrong please?

The camera app has a video feature on it and I tried to do a 20 min video but it seems to turn off after a few minutes. I tried twice with the same results. There is no info under settings or anywhere on time restraints. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Sasabean-
I do not know if this is related to your problem, but there is a setting on the iPad called "Auto-Lock". Mine is set for 5 minutes. One of the options is Never. See Settings-General-Auto-Lock.

My IPOD keeps repeating the song. I've had it for almost a year and it has been fine. All of a sudden it has started repeating. Help!

I've had my ipod nano for almost a year. It has worked fine. All of a sudden it has started to repeat. I've tried everything. Help!

It's pretty easy to accidentally set the Nano to repeat. Have a look at the manual (download the manual here) on page 21.

My ipad won't turn on. Have tried to reset by pressing the two button at the same time. It work. Why is this happening? For the first time it happened to me after using the ipad 4 running on ios 7, for almost a year and a halftime

My ipad won't turn on. Tried to reset and it work. I'm using ipad 4 with ios 7 and this is the first time that this happened to me.what is wrong with the ipad?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After almost a year - duh - I see that v3.6.4 got stuck mid-download; now I can't proceed or get rid of the Software Update 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' -so how to update now?

I have Firefox 3.6.3 on a mac os x 10.5.8 laptop. Often when I open Firefox there are updates available for plugins & addons and I install them. Now Firefox often crashes while in use and/or I must force quit. I finally went to the Help menu on the Firefox menu bar and saw this message: 'Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.4...' When I click on the message I get a new 'Software Update' window with this info: 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' (stuck); a 'Details' link (dead); and 'Connecting to the update server...' (never connects). Sorry, I couldn't figure out what the 'Firefox location bar' was and so can't get report IDs, though a while ago I stopped reporting the problems. I want to update Firefox without losing any of my stored settings/info. PS I just saw my 'installed plugins' list. 'Displays PDF documents in the browser' is listed but doesn't work; 'iPhoto6' listed, but I run iPhoto '08 (7.1.5). I'm not sophisticated enough to recognize the other plug-ins. Thanks!

I don't know if there are better solutions, and I don't know if what I'm going to write is real also in mac OS: in windows and linux you personal settings (bookmarks, history, plugins, etc...) are stored in your home directory and not in firefox installation directory. So what about to uninstall your current version, download the new one from firefox web site and install it? In my opinion all your data remain untouched.
A better solution may be download the new version and install it without removing the previous one, the installer should overwrite outdated files ;)

Yoga 13 display does not Turn off after idle

I have the computer set to the balanced power option, and the disaplay is set to turn off after 5 minutes on battery and 10 minutes when plugged in. Unfortunately the screen never turns off.
Anyone know how to fix this problem ?

hi tmpst,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If a wireless device (mouse, keyboard, etc.) is plugged to the computer, the display, screen saver or sleep function might not work. If this is your case, try to:
1. Remove your wireless device (might include a usb dongle)
2. Apply the Moving mouse causes laptop to exit sleep mode fix
If you have Power DVD installed, apply http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913405
Let me know your findings.
Cheers.

IBook fan not turning on anymore

Hi!
I'm using my iBook G4 (1.33 GHz) for about 9 months now and most of that time i played some game every now and then (hardware intense games like Halo or World of Warcraft). Normally, the fan started working for a few minutes and everything was fine. But in the last days (it's really hot here in Vienna...), the fan never turned on. Even when I'm playing WoW and the temperature reaches 72 degrees C, the fan doesn't turn on (normally it starts at about 65 C). I'm really wondering if this has got something to do with the 10.4.7 update because I didn't play for a few weeks and now this problem arised.
Are there any known problems with this update? Or is there some software that allows me to turn on the fan manually?
Thanks in advance,
Marco
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I have had my iBook g4 1.42ghz for almost a year now. I have not once heard the CPU fan turn on, not even when playing Doom 3.
Then again, my CPU rarely passes the 55 degree mark.
It should be the case that if the CPU gets too hot, the iBook will shut itself down.
Does anyone know the max temp for the CPU before failure?
My main concern is not for every single instance you would expect the fan to come on, so much as accumulated damage to the mainboard from maintaining such high temps. Maybe you should run a hardware test? Heck, with everything you have already tried, you may as well boot to the install disk and run disk repair and repair permissions. I can't imagine what could be wrong with the filesystem\permission that would cause this, but sometimes a little nonsensical voodoo magic cures problems that should not be related to these things.
Good luck, and keep an external fan blowing on your machine until this is resolved.

Hot Hot Hot. My Powerbook is hot and the fan never turns on!

Hi,
I downloaded the istat pro widget in order to monitor the heat and fan on my Mac. Currently the CPU top is 141 F and the CPU bottom is 140 F. The front and rear fan are not on and it seems like they should be.
When are the fans set to turn on... can I change this?
Are my fans not working.
Give me your insight. Thanks!

Look here:
Apple Specifications
http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG4_15-inch_1_67-15GHz.html
Electrical and environmental requirements
Meets ENERGY STAR requirements
Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
Frequency: 50 to 60Hz
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-25° to 45° C)
My computer temperatures are constantly on the upper end of the scale, as well as frequently going over the operating specs listed by apple. I believe these are environmental conditions for operation, but currently my cpu temps are 120/114 according to istat, so this should give us some ammo for repairs, a recall, or something, as the obvious internal temperature is not within Apple's operational specs. Even my powersupply is 109f currently...
This has got to be wrong... Lets fix it apple!

I updated my iPad to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve my books in the iBooks and the videos as well all the other apps are fine , I am sure I did back up, the books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

I updated my iPad2 to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve my books in the iBooks and the videos as well . All the other apps are fine with full data. I am sure I did back up to my friend's mac book pro .The books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

They gave me a brand new phone and I logged into all of my iCloud stuff, etc...
When I try to go onto the Internet it will say its loading, loading, loading, then give up. Pandora has given up after one song. All other apps that need to connect to Internet or networks load and load and then give up. I will double tap the one button and close out all the apps and it may work for a second but no more. Then I will turn the phone off and the same thing happens.
I have run out of ideas.

I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.
