MacBook Pro :: Turned It Off But Still Very Hot
Jun 13, 2006And not hot in the good way...
I turned my Macbook off for about three hours to watch a movie. I hadn't had it on any longer than an hour prior to turning it off.
But after picking it up to turn it back on just now, I practically burned my hand on it. It's been off for THREE hours...
I'm assuming this is a bad sign. However, I know I didn't overwork it prior to turning it off. No hissing or mooing.
OS X :: Can Any New PC Be Turned Into A Hackintosh?
Oct 22, 2009My buddy saw an article on the net that I showed him about a guy building a "Hackintosh" with all new parts bought from newegg. The article seemed to say that you really should use the same parts as the author did to ensure Snow Leopard compatibility.
My buddy has built MANY a pc. He seems to think that using the directions and software discussed in the article I showed him, that we could pretty much turn ANY home built PC into a Hackintosh with higher performance and less cost.
I'm not here to discuss the legitimacy of his claim, but I would like to know about the hardware / software part?
Can basically any PC be turned into a Hackintosh?

Mac Pro :: Can Macs Still Be Turned On Via Keyboard?
Feb 22, 2008I remember back, long, long ago in the elementary school days when we had the colored Macs - you turned them on by pressing spacebar. Now I would actually like that with my Mac Pro so that I don't have to bend over to turn it on. Does this option still exist in Mac OS?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: How Often Do You Keep Your 9600 GT Turned On?
Aug 3, 2009For the owners of a uMBP with switchable graphics, how often do you keep your 9600 GT on and what kind of tasks do you use the GPU for? I got the mid-ranged 15" model for the 9600 GT but I can't see myself using it until the release Starcraft II ... and even after I have my desktop with an HD 4870 1GB. Do any of you regret purchasing the model with the 9600 GT?
View 15 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Files Are Being Turned Into Aliases?
Oct 27, 2009It started with a USB drive attached to my Airport BaseStation. It was mounted on the desktop but whenever I clicked on it I got the message:'The alias "Maxtor Basic" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.'
I have three options underneath:
1.to delete the alias - which gives me a message: 'The item "Maxtor Basic' can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.';
2.to fix the alias (this option doesn't work because if I get the network up on a Finder window all the drives show as available except the one in question, which is greyed out; and
3. to press 'OK' which basically does nothing.
I can eject the icon on the desktop but when I try and connect again I just get another icon that thinks it's an alias (there's no little arrow at the bottom of it, though). I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting the drives and switching them off, disconnecting all users from the Airport disks page and none of these works. Is it possible the disk itself thinks it's an alias?
Following on from that I've found that some of the files in my other remote disks (attached with FireWire and USB directly to the computer) are doing the same thing. Have I caught a bug? Is this a Snow Leopard issue? Please don't tell me to format any hard drives - I've had to start again so many times recently I'm beginning to consider giving my computer away and living without it!
MacBook Pro :: Speaker Turned Off
Mar 16, 2010I was listening a video on my MBP and everything was working fine. I then put my headphones away when I decided to listen to something else so I was what the heck I will just use the speakers but it seems as if they are turned off or something. I keep trying to put the volume up and down and it just comes up with the speaker picture with a circle and line through it. I looked up at the volume in the bar and it is grayed out at fun volume. When I plug in my headphones, the volume turns black again and allows for adjustment.
Did I accidentally turn off my speakers? How do I turn them back on or fix this? They were working totally fine earlier today but now they are not.
OS X :: Preparing To Copy - Can This Be Turned Off?
Apr 9, 2010On my Mac, especially when copying a lot of files, the "preparing to copy" function before any copying actually takes place is too dang long. Is there any way to disable the "preparing to copy" part so that when I copy anything, it simply starts copying right away?
I don't need to the OS to guess how long the copy will take or to detect if I have enough free space. I just want to the copy to go as soon as I tell it to.

The mac was working fine though we heard the fan was broken. It was making a loud noise but worked fine. It use to over-heat very bad. So we decided to get the fan replaced. After 2 days we got it back. Then we tryed playing on it a games. It was laggy. Even after a certain amount of windows it would lag. Then we erased all the junk, and games and tryed to have multiple windows opened. It was bad. The fan didn't make noise but over heated very hot I installed an app and found out it would get so warm to about 219 degrees. We tryed backing it up and then reinstall another mac backup. The same result happened. We tryed again and still no change happend. We tryed all those cleaning programs clean my mac,mackeeper,antivirus,and some others. We erased them off to in the end.

OS X V10.3 :: Computer Hanging When Turned On?
Apr 16, 2012My wife has an oldish Mac laptop we bought about 7-8 years ago. Everytime we start is up it tries to open MSNMessenger and fails. This hasn't been a problem in the past but today the computer just hangs when trying to open. I get a couple of error messages that disappear almost too quickly to read. One says something about "DevDetectListner" and another something about "Shared library errors.. Carbon". I can't force quit MSNMessenger from the menu strip at the bottom. If I try to use the ctrl open apple esc command it just restarts and the same problem occurs. If I try to open other applications they quit and an error message appears.

MacBook Air :: Its Turned Off Without Warning?
Jun 6, 2012Last night my macbook air turned off without warning and wouldn't turn back on until I tried again this morning. A few weeks ago I had my battery and logic board replaced and since then it the screen has gone blue for a few seconds and then back to normal a few times, (in case this is related at all). Is there something I should do to make sure this doesn't happen again.

MacBook Air :: Turned On By Itself While Closed In Bag
Jun 8, 2012My MacBook Air was closed (which I assume means asleep) and in my bag. Today I suddenly heard a weird hum from the bag and realized that the Airport was incredibly hot and blowing all fans full speed. Of course it was inside a padded bag so there was no air to move around and things got very hot. I have no idea how long it was in there but it could have been days (it was attached to charger cable).
1) is it likely to be damaged? any way to know?
2) any way to figure out why it woke up while closed? is there a log anywhere of that kind of thing? yesterday we had a power outage; could the Airport being cycled off/on somehow woken it up via wifi??
3) how do I prevent it from happening again - how do I shut off any possible options that might lead it to ever wake up while the lid is closed? I heard there's something called Wake on Demand and there is also some mode where people use them (with an external monitor) with the lid closed. I'd like to disable both
