Why is the i7 called a quad core when it has 6 cores?

Intel says the i7 has six processing cores, but Apple calls it a quad core, which means four cores.  Why?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Intel Core i7 Extreme has got six cores, but Apple doesn't use it for their Macs. Other Core i7 processors have got four cores

    If the battery is swollen, it can push up against the under-side of the trackpad.

    Why does the Apple tv light come on when I am not using it?

    my atv1 does that sometimes
    I'm 90% sure that it's because it crashed and rebooted
    it's basicly a computer and sooner or later a computer will

  • Why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

    why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

    The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Are you in US Eastern Time?  This looks like an offset due to time zone (EST is -5 hours).  Setting the UTC constant to TRUE will fix that.

  • What happens if the exception occurs in a thread when it has a lock

    what happens if the exception occurs in a thread when it has a lock
    on object. Is the lock released ?

    Rastogha wrote:
    ok so lock is released if we are putting code in try-catch block. . right ?
    1) But suppose what abt runtime exceptions which i am not catching. It doesn't matter what kind of exception it is. The lock is released when control is transferred outside the sync block.
    2)Also the thread will be suspended in both the cases or not ( both cases mean for runtime exception and checked exception)Again, the kind of exception doesn't matter. Whether you're in a sync block or not doesn't matter: When an exception occurs, control transfers to the nearest catch block that can handle it. If you don't provide a handler for it, the thread terminates.
    If something is not clear, post code that shows the specific situations you're curious about. Make sure you use the CODE button or [code] and [/code] tags.

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

  • Why is the image on my screen changing when I switch between the library and develop modules?

    I've noticed in the past couple of days that I will be refining an image in the develop module, feel I've gotten it the way I want it to look, and then switch back to the library module to export. When I do so, I notice the colors are quite different than they were just a second ago in the develop module. When I switch back to the develop module, it goes back to the way it looked in the develop module. How might I fix this?

    Is what you see in Library the original, camera-embedded preview or is it just a messed up version of the LR-rendering?  You can test this by making a significant change to an image with the problem (Exposure -4 or Saturation +100) and see if the Library Preview also darkens (or the colors saturate) significantly or not.  You might also try explicitly telling LR to recompute the  Standard then the 1:1 preview to see if either of those show up in Library.
    If the Library view never shows any LR adjustments and is always the camera-embedded JPG preview or a LR-preview from some days ago that never changes no matter what you do in Develop, now, then your Previews cache is likely corrupted and the entire should probably be deleted so LR can rebuild them.  The previews folder is called catalogname Previews.lrdata and is a subfolder of where your catalog file (.lrcat) is stored.  You can location your catalog by going to the General tab in the Catalog Preferences and clicking the Locate button.  You should exit LR before trying to delete the Previews subfolder and make sure you’re not deleting the catalog or backups folder, just the folder with Previews.lrdata in the name.
    If the Library view just shows a different-looking version of the LR adjustments then perhaps something is wrong with the display-driver or the monitor’s color profile.

  • Why does the pen tool remove previous line when I add new anchor points??

    Why does the pen tool remove previous lines??
    Video here:  http://youtu.be/8AmPUkD88h0 
    It removes the hairline on the face, when I add more anchor points. Why? And how do I correct it?

    The ins and outs of the new and changed behaviors in the re-engineered pen tool have been disussed here on this forum and I'm sure a little detour to the help files will also shed some light on this...

  • Why do the bookmark icons return to default when i clear history?

    Why do the bookmark icons return to default (the blue bubbles) when i clear history? This is using os x mavericks.
    OS X Snow Leopard did not do this. It retained the site icon next to my bookmarks.

    The webpageicons database may be corrupted. It can happen.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
    Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. It may take a day or two for webpageicons to re populate.

  • HT4623 why doesnt the ipad2 have siri app if when you do the download it said you will have it

    why doesnt the ipad2 have the app siri when you do the update

    The iPad 2 cannot run Siri. It lacks a piece of hardware to make the software work. If the 2 could have handled Siri, it'd have gotten it a year ago.
    And if you read the footnotes on the iOS7 release, you'll see that it clearly states that Siri is not on the 2.
