What is the maximum temperature for a mid 2010 MacBook?

I need to know the maximum running temperature for my mid 2010 (white unibody) MacBook. And at what temperature should I shut it down? I'm also curious if I should turn up the speed of my fans and what speed I should set them at. Thanks for everyones support!
It would also be great if someone could provide a link or tell me where they found the info because I want to make sure it is official, I couldn't seem to find it on Apple's technical specs nor google.

MacBooks are designed to shut themselves down if they reach a temperature above which they should not operate. It also controls its own fans, you should not mess with that. I don't know what that temperature is. If your MacBook is running too hot you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller, which is a good first step for all sorts of power related issues.
Best of luck.

What are the maximum temperatures for my MacBook Pro?

I have this MacBook Pro (3,1). I know there are maximum temperatures at which the system will shut itself down in order to prevent damage. I know this because I have seen it happen a couple of times
When I run Windows, apparently the OS doesn't care to throttle power in order to reduce dangerous heat like Mac OS X does. I now have a program that monitors CPU and GPU heat when I run Windows 7, and it will sound an alarm if they reach a pre-set ceiling.
My question is, how do I know what the emergency shutdown temperature is so I can set the alarm limit appropriately (low enough to trigger before catastrophe, but high enough that it doesn't trigger when things are still okay)?
This page from Intel seems to be telling me that the CPU should not go above 100°C ...does that seem like the number I'm looking for?
Nvidia doesn't seem to say anything about temperatures on the product page. User forums seem only to speculate on what is or isn't safe with no real specifications to back them up.
How can I find these numbers, either from Intel & Nvidia, or from Apple? Or, is there a general ceiling that I can go by to make sure my alarm warns me before an emergency shutdown?

What is the maximum temperature for a macbook generic processor to operate?

Right now the temperature for my cpu is 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that bad? Whats the highest temperature a Macbook can properly operate?

Games & video editing, along with Flash videos & games, are some of the most processor-intensive tasks. If you're doing those things, you'll definitely see an increase in temperature.
If not, you may want to look at Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities), sorting the processes by CPU, and see if any process is stuck.

What charger do i need for my mid 2010 Macbook?

http://tinyurl.com/mdbj3vn <-- Would this one work? I'm having trouble finding one and most of the listings on Ebay say "for Macbook pro" in the title.. My charger is shorting out and I'm afraid it will die on me soon. Exactly what kind of charger do I need to be looking for?
Thank you.
By the way- my laptop is a 13 inch but I'm not sure of that matters

> listed as Macbook Pro on Ebay<
Typically the "L" shaped chargers were for the MacBook Pro but I've had no problem using them with the MacBook.
I think the only time you'd get into a problem is when you tried to use, say the 45 Watt charger on a machine that needs the 85 Watt charger or the 60 Watt charger.
Looking at all my chargers. We have 2 MBPs and two MacBooks. There are 3 A1184 chargers running the MB and 1 MBP and a 1344 running this MBP . All are 60 Watt.
The 45 W was for the MacBook Air.
That post from China reads:
>45W 60W 85W<
However if you look closely that charger says "45 Watts"! So that would be for the MBAir but it has a Magnasafe connector on it like a MBP.
Look here, this the charger they're selling:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2V51AW2594
and this post from Brian Caslis:
Danger using > 45-watt power adapter on MacBook Air?
" You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook."
So then NO.

What is the maximum filesize for a FTP Adapter?

I have xml files with 1000's of records to read in. The file size can range anywhere from a few MB up to ~100MB. Most of them are about 50 MB.
The FTP adapter works when I have a small file, but with larger ones it apparently times out. Once it runs into a big file like this, it won't process any more files until I restart the process. It doesn't show any faults or even any record of a running instance in the BPEL Console, so I have no idea specifically when it breaks. I uploaded a 10MB file to my ftp server and left it for a half hour, but nothing showed up, so I'm assuming it's broken rather than just taking a long time.
What is the maximum file size for a FTP adapter? Can I change this somewhere? I looked in the ...\application-deployments\default\FtpAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml file but couldn't find any settings to change.

Well no luck on my end and it doesn't look like anybody else has any ideas either. This thread Re: FTP Adapter, Java Embedding, ... says that if you can't get the functionality you need out of the default one, you should write your own FTP adapter in JCA. I looked at JCA and would like to write a simple polling adapter and then put all my FTP code in embedded java.
Can somebody explain how I could achieve the basic FTP Adapter polling functionality in JCA? I'm having difficulty figuring out how to have an ongoing polling process without instantiating a BPEL process itself, like the existing FTP adapter does. I don't want to set off on writing my own adapter if it's going to be a much larger undertaking than I have time for.
Also, is the source code open for the default FTP adapter? It would be great if I could just modify the few things I need to change rather than write one from scratch.

What is the maximum size for mailbox per user (Exchange 2007)

Hello,
I'd like to know:
What is the maximum size per mailbox, and is it not recommended to exceed 3 GB and about the items how many is the maximum per folder (inbox, .. )
I've Exchange 2007 SP2, Outlook 2007 and 2010.
Thank you.

Hi
There is no size limit on mailboxes up to the maximum size of your database. I normally recommend 2GB mailbox limits if you have some form of archiving in place. If you have no archiving in place then the limit should be set at the amount of
data people need to keep - it is not a good idea for people to store mail in PST files because there is a limit on their mailbox.
See this article for item count recommendations:

Also you need to upgrade your Exchange 2007 server to SP3 ... SP2 has been out of support for nearly 3 years already:

Hi:
According to the service manual for your notebook at the link below, maximum is 2 x 512 MB for 1 GB.
Chapter 1, page 1-3.

I would run the free Crucial Memory scanner and see what it reports. 1 GB seems pretty low for the hardware in your notebook.

What is the normal temperature for MacBook Pro's when charging?

I really wanted to know because sometimes I feel like my MacBook Pro is too hot. I don't want anything to melt in there. So I decided to download a temperature monitor.

Hi
I have a NewerTech external charger with an inbuilt battery calibrator. It provides 2 charging methods: it either fast charges or conditions (calibrates) the battery. Fast charging, which fully charges the battery in about 2 hours, causes the battery to noticeable heat up. However, conditioning, which discharges then recharges the battery, is so gradual that the battery remains cool (at ambient temperature).
The charger has 2 slots (for 2 batteries) and will charge or condition 1 or 2 batteries but not at the same time. For example, it will fast charge one battery and when finished switch to conditioning the second battery. This charging regime means the universal power supply connected to the charger can be less powerful (and smaller), i.e., it will deliver sufficient current to fast charge one battery at a time. Batteries may be left in the charger which automatically switches to trickle charge when continuous charging finishes.
The heat generated by the battery in the MBP is caused by fast charging and whilst I have never made any temperature recordings of the base of my MBP I can confirm that sometimes it gets so hot that it can be painful if in contact with the skin, e.g. resting on ones lap. This is normal. The battery also heats up when the MBP is running solely on battery power. Excessive heat could indicate a battery fault and it should be removed and examined immediately as any distortion, e.g., swelling, can damage the MBP.
An external charger/conditioner is useful if you have a spare battery, or two.

Phil

What is the maximum RAM for 2.16 GHz 24 in DDR2 iMac Early 2006

What is the maximum RAM that I can install on iMac 24 in 2.16 GHz DDR2 Early 2006 model?

Is this your Mac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-sp ecs.html
I had the same model: officially it'll support 3 GB RAM; some people added 4 GB and it ran fine, but it will only address about 3.2 GB. I decided that wasn't worth it and made do with 3 GB.

Should I put the new SSD drive in main HDD bay or the Superdrive/Optical bay for a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

Hello All,
I'm considering getting a new SSD drive to add on to my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro (13 inches, unibody), and wondering which one of the following two options I should really adapt:
(1) Replace the original OEM hard drive in the main bay with the new SSD drive, and then remove the Superdrive (or the optical CD drive) and to be fitted into an external enclosure for using it externally in the future, and then relocate the original OEM hard drive into the Superdrive position, so both the new SSD (preferably for running the OS and system files) and the old OEM hard drive (for storing media and documents for example) could be used; and
(2) Keep the original OEM hard drive in place in the main drive, and buy a superdrive/optical drive caddy to goes with the new SSD drive, and together place the new SSD drive fitted inside the caddy into the position of the Superdrive/Optical CD drive, and configure the boot preference to be booting from the Superdrive/Optical Drive (which is now the SSD drive with OS and system files);
I've done some researches and some suggested that option (2) is better approach for at least two reason: (a) the MBP main drive come with some sort of shock proof sensor, so placing the original optical hard drive in the main is better than placing it in the super/optical drive where there is NO shock sensing feature provided, and placing SSD in the super/optical drive, one doesn't really have to worry so much about shocks; and (b) as during the process of shutting down the MBP, for optical hard drive, some power will sometimes needed to finally spin down the drive, but if such optical hard drive is place in the superdrive, the power maybe cut off right away when MBP shut down, which may cause issue to the optical hard drive in a long run as it never properly spin it down.
Then the main concern is that, if I adapt option (2) above, placing SSD in the super/optical drive bay and install and running the OS from there, will it decrease the performance (i.e. speed, latency, and etc.) as if i was to put the new SSD in the main drive?
Also, any suggestions with respect to Samsung 840 EVO vs. Samsung 850 EVO (250GB)? any well-rated HD caddy aside from OWC for moving the main HDD to optical CD bay? and perhaps an external enclosure for the Superdrive? Thanks in advance for any comment and/or suggestion.
- Jack

Could you provide some rationale(s) behind it? As far as I know, the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, the HDD is running via the SATA interface at running at 3.0 Gb/s, which is SATA II, and the Super-drive and/or the Optical drive, which is also running via SATA II interface, so I would assume the performance (i.e. primarily in speed) would be similar if not the same by placing the SSD drive in either one of the two places.
Also, wouldn't it be better by placing the SSD in the optical so the OEM HDD could be kept in the original main bay since it has the shock-sensing feature there?
