What is the correct operating temperature range for the various iMac models?

In our organization, we opperate approximately 20 mac systems (3-4 years old) with users performing a range of tasks using applications that range from 3D Design and graphics programs to MS Word and Outlook. There is concern that the systems (specifically iMacs) are running too hot and we've had a couple 'die'. Does anyone know of a list of acceptible opperating temperature ranges for Apple Computer systems? I am using a Mid-2010 3.2ghz Intel Core i3, with 8gb ddr3 and an ATI Radeon HD 5670 512mb graphics card, I have a 1 TB SATA that currently has 732GB's of free space. Below are my systems current temp readings using "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink.
Has anyone else had issues with current Apple Computers overheating and dying?
Thanks for your help, any input would be appreciated!

The only items w/Temp ranges are the CPU cores. Your seetings look normal to me. These are mine:

  • Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?

    The latest version of iPhoto which can operation with OS X 10.4.11 is iPhoto 7 which is part of iLife 08.  You might be able to find a copy of iLIfe 08 on Amazon.com or Ebay.com.
    iLife 08's full system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
    iMovie ’08 requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0 GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9 GHz or faster)
    iDVD ’08 requires 733MHz or faster processor
    512 MB of RAM; 1 GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1 GB of RAM
    3 GB of available disk space
    DVD drive required for installation

  • My pc does not meet the minimum operating system requirements for the 6th gen nano. Is there anything I can do to make it work?  This was sent to me from Apple after my previous Nano was recalled.

    My pc does not meet the minimum operating system requirements for the 6th gen nano. Is there anything I can do to make it work on windows XP?  This was sent to me from Apple after my previous Nano was recalled.

    I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

  • What is the operating temperature limit for the 8G iPod Nano?

    I'm putting away my 30G for the summer, in a cool dry safe, only to be taken out occasionally to be played and re-charged under indoor conditions. Taking this baby out in my car is out of the question where temperatures will be sure to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit over the summer.
    I'm thinking, if I want music in my car, either use the radio or get a Nano which has no hard drive, could probably work in hotter conditions and even have the added benefit of playing on fights over 30,000 feet altitude.
    Anyone have experience with the Nano for these conditions?
    TIA,
    - Ken

    Hmm, no music over 10,000 feet unless we use a notebook with iTunes on it.
    No iPod music in my car this summer. Okay while you're driving with the air conditioning on, but not after you shut down and want to go for a swim in the river along side the road.
    Thank You,
    - Ken

  • CPU operating Temperature range

    Looking for the CPU operating temperature range. Not the ambient operating temperature range, but the range the CPU is allowed to run at.
    My CPU has been nearing 175° F.
    Macbook still runs great.
    This is an early 2006 model with the intel core duo 2GHz
    Thanks

    I believe the lower limit is 32F and the upper limit 212F. At 212F it will trigger thermal shutdown.

  • Standard operating temperature ranges

    Where can I find the standard operating temperature ranges?
    I download the iStat widget last week and it gives me a list of the temps of different parts of my machine, but I'm not sure when they're running hot versus running cool or normal. I'm not having any problems, just curious.
    Thanks

    HI,

  • HT2101 What's the lowest operating temperature for iPhone 4S?

    My phone turned off by itself & couldn't turned it On while I was out for trekking & temperature was -40 oC. I use a leather casing for my iPhone.  I was out of contact with my family during that time. Surprisingly when I turned it On upon reaching home it still showed 40% charged status. What's the lowest operating temperature for iPhone 4S?

    A Google search is your friend. This was the first hit with a search for "iPhone 4S specs".
    http://www.apple.com/lae/iphone-4s/specs/
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

  • Anyone notice what Apple says is the correct operating temp?

    Their spec site says the machine can get as hot as 90 degrees (F). However, my temp gauge routinely gets to 108 degrees (F) - and I know many others go even higher. Isn't that a reason for Apple to fix our machines right there? Either that... or change their friggin' specs!

    Steven, you misinterpreted the specification.
    Operating temperature range 50-95 F refers to the ambient temperature in which you use the computer.
    What that means is that the computer is designed to operate in a controlled environment. If your room temperature exceeds 95 F the cooling system will have difficulty keeping the computer's components cool enough to meet their design lifetime. As far as I'm concerned, I'm designed for a comfortable ambient temperature range between the high-60s to low 70s F in my study, and within that range I'll be happy and so will the MBP!
    There are people who will use MBPs in the desert heat of Iraq or in sub-freezing temperatures and at high altitude on the slopes of Mount Everest. Apple is telling users that those computers probably won't last as long as if they were operated within the intended environmental specifications. Photojournalists often work in hostile environments and so do their Apple notebooks.
    My week 12 MBP doesn't have a heat problem. The areas that I need to touch when I'm using it are the keyboard, the trackpad and the rest areas to the left and right of the trackpad. If they stay comfortable to use in my most demanding applications, I don't have a heat problem. (I don't care if the metal strip behind the function keys gets very warm, as I don't need to touch it to use the computer.)
    I use a KoolSink tilted aluminum stand when I'm using the computer, whether on my desk or in my lap. That helps cool the computer and keep me comfortable.
    My CPU operating temperatures compare to many of those that have had the "grease fix" and are better than some, but I've not done the "grease fix" and don't plan to do that.
    My attitude toward heat works. The MBP is the fastest, quietest and most stable notebook computer I've ever owned and it churns through the work I toss at it without missing a beat. It's in the same performance class as my PowerMac dual core 2.3 GHz but uses much less energy to do the same tasks.

  • What is the range for the Time Capsule

    Good day for you all,
    Can anyone help me on the following:
    1. What is effective the range for the Time Capsule if there are 2 walls 6" thick each obstacle the way?
    2. Can I backup my data to my Time Capsule anywhere in the world using the Internet?
    3. Can I use the Time Capsule to backup data on my iphone, ipad and ipod?

    It is not that simple.. are the walls hollow or solid concrete..?? it is not the thickness of the walls.. but the thickness of material and angle of penetration.. remember wierless is a dead straight line.. Tx to Rx.. so a 30deg angle through concrete is a lot more material than just 6" steel reinforcing is really bad.. at an angle it maybe hard for the wireless to see a gap.
    Through standard plasterboard.. rockboard in US I think. walls, with no insulation.. about 15% signal drop on each.. the TC should work ok in standard size house over single floor at least at 2.4ghz .. but the speed will drop as you get further away. Difficult to say more.. that is why apple make the extreme and express and TC can all extend wireless from each other. But all this is only 2.4ghz. 
    5ghz you will be lucky to get signal through two walls.
    2. Can I backup my data to my Time Capsule anywhere in the world using the Internet?
    You can access the TC by using BTMM via iCloud in certain circumstances.. we would not recommend backups over internet.. the possiblity of corrupting the whole backup is too high. Just use a 2.5" portable drive.. ML can backup TM to different targets..
    3. Can I use the Time Capsule to backup data on my iphone, ipad and ipod?
    Not directly.. they do not work with TC.. they work with iTunes.. and you automatically backup to itunes locally or cloud.. then Time Machine backs up the iTunes.
    You can access the file and store files on the TC if you use a file browser app. But this is not the intended method of operation of any of those devices.

  • Number range for the Material type

    Hi,
    When I am trying to create the number range for the Material Type, when I choose the groups the following error has occurred

    What may be the problem
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Binu,
    Had similar issue lately.
    This is happening as the download of the category is not done properly.
    So the solution which wrkd for me was to dwld the content again correctly, and if its done, there'll be no such error shootin up.

    Yours sincerely! I just bought a Sony DCR-SD1000 camera only when installing the cd drivers not supported by the operating system Machintosh. I've contacted the seller said the store did not provide for the apple os. How can I move all the files on the camera the port out is to use a USB data cable to a laptop for my macbookpro can not read the contents of the file and the camera. I also want to use the lens on the camera as a substitute for the embedded camera on my macbookpro, what should I do to replace the embedded camera on macbookpro with sony camera so that the camera could be more variety and can I record when I turned macbookpro . Please help for this so that I can quickly capture the results from sony camera to my macbookpro. Thank you.

  • The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

    I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
    All outgoing emails were working fine.
    I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
    The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
    Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
    I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
    What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
    EDIT
    I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

    This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
    I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

  • When setting the split-days to "every 15 minutes," the week and comparison views show incorrect time ranges for the day

    When I change the "split-days" interval time, under Options > Settings, to
    15, or every 15 minutes, the week and comparison views don't show the correct
    time range for the day.
    <P>
    For example, if I click View to display the calendar and then click Week to get
    a weekly view, the time range displayed is from 6:00 a.m.
    to 4:00 p.m. If I click Comparison to get a
    comparison view, the time range displayed is from 12 p.m.
    to 6:45 p.m.
    <P>
    In this example, should both of these views show the same time range, from
    9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?
    No, the two views will not necessarily show the same time range. The time
    range for the comparison view will start at the beginning prefs time only
    if you have something scheduled (on any day of the week) starting at that
    time. For example, on one of the days during your week of comparison, if you
    create an event that starts at 9:00 a.m. and then open the comparison view, the
    time range displayed will start with 9:00 a.m.
    <P>
    Additionally, view times will expand past the configured settings if events
    span past the time range. That is, if you have an event that spans from
    5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event will be reflected in the view, even though
    your time range may be set to go only to 6:00 p.m.

    Umm yes.
    The settings are stored in ''prefs.js'', so you could swap various copies of this file in and out.
    However, the system will load ''prefs.js'', then, if present, ''user.js'' , so you can set up just your changes in ''user.js'' .
    The sort of line you need to look for is like this:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    You'll need to do some research to identify which of your accounts is which.
    Search for the account's email address:
    <code>user_pref("mail.identity.id10.useremail", "xenos&#64;example.com");</code>
    Use the id number to locate the account number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.identities", "id10");</code>
    Use the account number to find the server number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.server", "server14");</code>
    Finally, you can then use the server number find the account's time setting:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    This last entry may not exist, if you have never changed the setting from the default 10 minutes.
    Do be careful with your typing and copy/pasting; if the file fails the syntax parser it will silently fail.
    And make sure Thunderbird is shut down when you do the swap. If it's open, it may overwrite changes, and in any case, it only reads the settings file when it starts up.

  • Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number?

    Hi,
    Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number assignment?
    For example, we are doing packing, then a Handling Unit number has been generated.  So where to define this number range of the HU number??
    Is it from the SPRO or controled by programs.
    Thanks.

    A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
    Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
    Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
    Figure 1: Handling unit example
    Structure
    The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
    •     Identification number
    •     Dimensions
    •     Weight
    •     Volume
    •     Status
    •     Materials and quantities
    •     Packaging materials
    •     Packing instructions
    A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
    Handling unit header
    The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
    •     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
    •     General data
    •     Means-of-transport data
    •     Additional data
    •     Output determination procedure
    For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
    Status
    The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
    You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
    If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
    Handling unit item
    The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
    To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto &#61614; Detailed HU data &#61614; Contents.
    Integration
    Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.
