What programs would be best to run to test the flickering and temp problem?

My new i7 has not shown any effects yet, but then, I have not put it through any stress tests. I do not want to particularly download too much new stuff. I am trying to work with the new mac as it comes from the factory for about 1 or 2 weeks before I start downloading or transferring files and data.
Are there any programs that are factory installed already, that I can use to really test the iMac both from the standpoint of flickering and temperature?
Thanks

How can I stress the new machine to see if it will initiate flickering at the same time checking the temperature characteristics?
I had loaded and running about 25 programs, many of which were doing graphics or video. Certainly this was not a controlled and precise benchmark; I just wanted to make it as busy as I could for a while. No problem detected under the maximum I could manually stress the machine. Certainly things got hot and the fans were running faster but nothing serious.
Just monitor the temperature with iStat as the programs are running and run Activity Monitor to watch the workload/memory use. After that test, I was impressed with the ability of this thing to multi-task and the HDD / CPU / GPU / screen were flawless.

    Everything would be erased. Hence the word "all" in "all content and settings"

  • What category would a cracked screen be in at the Troubleshoot and Identify screen?

    My iPod was in my purse this morning and when I went to take it out later on it was cracked. I'm at the Troubleshoot and Identify screen but there is no category that says screen. So what do I do? I have a warranty and everything.

    This would not be covered under the warranty.

  • What camcorder would you recommend to buy that has the firewire and ability

    to upload directly to imovie? I have a JVC MG20 which is great but gave me all sorts of complications in adjusting/changing settings etc just to get it into imovie. Im now intending on buying a new one in the next few months which will make my life simpler and i would like peoples opinions and recommendations. The JVC i have now is a hard drive style which i like, dont want to mess around with dvd discs in the camcorder, much rather do my editing on the mac and make a dvd from that.
    Thanks for any advice given...

    Really any Sony or Canon that has firewire and DV Tape...do not get a DVD nor a Hard drive camera, though. They are NOT compatible with iMovie at this time.

  • When i try to open a screen pops up Says file firefox .Exe. what program would u like to open with it shows mozilla I click on it and issues

    as I said on top. Installed firefox 4 on 5/17. It was working okay until today. When I try to get online I click on my mozilla icon as always. A window pops up and says firefox.exe. what program would u like to use to open It shows me mozilla and I click on it. Then says do u want to run file and save.Browser opens tabs com up with search bar but the page is white blank. I have to go to the search bar and enter what wbsite i want to go to . Then I can pretty much go anywhere. What should I do? should I uninstall everything? can I still get back a older version like 3.6? How can I go about this.

    Does if help if you check the security tab in the properties of the file and remove a possible internet protection?
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • What cable would be best to transfer files?

    I just brought a 2013 rMBP- 13' and want to transfer files from a 2009 iMac running 10.6.8. Can I use Migration Assistant...if so what cable would be best? Firewire to firewire?  Also will Snow Leopard be able to talk with Maverick?

    Just to be sure....Since there isn't a firewire port on the new 2013 rMBP, I add the Apple ThunderBolt to FireWire Adapter then connect it with a firewire 800 cable to the 2009 iMac.  Then Migration Assistant will be able to transfer over files, etc. Correct?

  • What program would allow me to create a mini box of video on screen?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having trouble figuring out what program would allow me to use an effect that would create a small box of video on screen while the rest of the screen remains blank. It'd be great if there was actually a term for this, but if there is, I don't know it. I once used this effect in a silly beginner program called "studio" that allowed me to create one or more small boxes of video footage, smaller than fullscreen. I don't think this effect exists on imovie, but I have final cut pro, if anyone knows what the effect is called and how I could use it.
    Please note: I'm not looking to create those four square boxes of the same image on screen (as can be found in imovie effects), I'm looking to choose the number of boxes I want and what goes in each one (i.e. different footage inside each box).
    Sorry if this post is unclear, it's hard to describe when I don't know the name for it, but I hope you can help!

    To scale down the video as videodude suggested, load the clip into the Viewer window, click on the Motion tab, and use the Scale control to resize the clip and the Center control to set it's position.
    Or set the Canvas window in Image+Wireframe mode and use the mouse to resize and position the clip.

  • What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles?

    What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles That  Are Connected To The Same Broadband Internet Connection? My Two Cousins Aren't Able To Connect To The Same Lobby Party Together As I Am To Play COD MW3. They Have Tried Having Both Consoles Hardwired to the Router But The Same Problem Of Having Only One Of My Two Cousins To Be Able To Connect To The Lobby Party While The Other One Can't Connect.  Thanks For Any Help With This Issue.

    My router easily handles 2-4 PS3s at a time during Uncharted multiplayer and its a few years old.  Its a Linksys Wireless N (model no. WRT150N).  Like I said, its not the newest but it handles all our consoles just fine.  My internet speed is 24mbps, maybe your cousins need a faster connection? Hope this helps.

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial &amp; overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

  • My iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    my iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

    Well, I believe I found it.....
    When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
    If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.
