Why does the processor fan run so much
The processor fan seams to run a lot while I'm using my computer. It is very annoying. Others people with the 13" air don't seem to have this problem. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

I do not understand how it is possible for your Activity Monitor to have a display large enough to fit 63 processes when I can only show 33 on my 13" MBA. Something is not right.
I wanted to know in case you are driving an external monitor which could be a causal factor.
In any event those are a lot of applications to be running at the same time, and I would not be surprised that your fan is audible. Microsoft in particular is notorious for inefficient code and all its Office apps are running.
Quit those programs one at a time to determine which may be responsible.

Why does AAM Updates Notifier run so much?
Why does AAM Updates Notifier run so much? It seems to really be working my hard drive.
AAM updater launches automatically as you start the computer, so you can try preventing it from auto launch as per the operating system.
Though it is not recommended much. you can check it is Re: How to deinstall AAM Update Notifier
Moving it to download & install for resolution.

Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory
Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory?
First ...read deggie's response. Makes sense - even a computer running a large amount of RAM can run short on memory depending upon the operation you are performing so sometimes you have to do what is available to "clear" the memory.
You can ...close apps and restart the iPad on occasion. You close apps by double tapping the home button to bring up your recent apps in the multitasking tray. Tap and hold down on any of the icons until they all begin to wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the apps to close them. Close all of your apps in that area. Also take note of how many apps are down there. That may have something to do with why the iPad is running out of memory. Tap the home button twice to return to the home screen. Then restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If you do this once in a while, it may make a difference in how your iPad performs. In any event, it will not hurt anything. -
Why does the app store use so much bandwidth?
My download is taking days and slowing down the connection for everyone else at home. With the download as slow as it is, it shouldn't have the effect it is. Is the app store similar to a bit torrent client? Is there file sharing happening? Does the download improve if the app is not free? I would hesitate to buy anything else using the app store? How long does it take to download something really big like Lion?
It is not a bit torrent. The download usually depends on your ISP's service. My 10 mega service usually downloads things in a couple of minutes. Lion took a couple of hours because it is 7 GB or so.
Something is wrong. I would check with the ISP. -
Why does the iPad 3 have so much lag on ios7?
My iPad 3 has so much lag on ios7 i cant believe apple would pass this i have restored twice and set up as new ipad and still does not fix the lag. It takes at least 10 seconds to change a wallpaper even rotating the ipad lags also safari is really bad wish i didn't update now. Ios7 is smooth as butter on my iPhone 5 how could apple get it so wrong on the iPad! There is alot of reports of ios7 being laggy on the iPad 4 and mini aswell. I cant seem to get rid of the lag no matter what i try does anyone have any suggestions? Apple?
Hello,
It is luckily that an iOS 7 update will be coming out this week. As it's 7.0, there is a lot of bug so just wait to you update for a 2 week. Try restarting your iPad by holding the power button and the home button down at the same time till you see a apple, that will help.
Please reply if you have any more questions.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
I have barely any space left on my phone. ios7 messaging app takes so much space. How can I stop this?Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full. -
Why does the migration wizard run every time I start up my mac after upgrading to mavericks ?
After upgrading to Mavericks, I log in as normal but then a migration wizard starts up asking me where I want to import data from and create new accounts. Why and how do I stop it ?
It could be part of OS X's Resume feature. Any app that is open at shutdown will re-open on boot unless the tick in the following image is deselected when shutting down/restarting:
Also check that Migration Assistant isn't listed in System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items. -
Photosmart 5520 Why does the printer always run a blank sheet before it makes a copy?
My Photosmart 5520 always runs a blank sheet before it runs the copy/copies. Is there a setting I can change?
Hello Camille33,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Photosmart 5520 runs a blank sheet of paper before you copy a document. I will do my best to assist you! Just to clarify are you printing a document from your computer or copying a document directly from your printer?
If so, then please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I want to see if this makes a difference. Next, try resetting the printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on, then disconnect the power cord.
Make sure the firmware is up to date on this printer. I will provide the HP website where you can find this download here.
I will be looking forward to hearing back from you. Have a great night!

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done. -
why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all >120Hz. So much for future proof.

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help?

I have iPhoto '08 - why does the version say 7.1.5
I have iPhoto '08 - why does the version say 7.1.5
I have the full paid version of iPhoto '08, but when I check the "About iPhoto" pull down it says - iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5.
Is this because I have it installed on a G4 and so it has to install 7.1.5 instead of 8.02 because of processor limitations?
What features am I missing as a result of having to run '08 on a G4 versus a G5?iPhoto '08 is version 7.x.x - 7.1.5 being the latest
iPhoto '09 is version 8.x.x - 8.0.2 being the latest
You have the up to date version of iPhoto '08 - only purchasing iLife '09 will get you a newer version
