OS X :: Ridiculously High Fan Speed While No Program Running At The Background?
Mar 4, 2009I have a Blackbook, it's about 3 years old now and the fan speed has increased to a very high level. There aren't any programs running in the background, this just simply happens when I leave the computer on. I'm assuming it's because there is dust buildup on the internal parts, but it's odd that it progressed from being fine to the stat that it is in today in the matter of days. Is there a way to clean the inside? Apple technician to have a look at it?

May 2, 2010I am soon to be getting a MacBook Pro in about a month. Since I have always used PC's, although I am very excited, I am trying to gather all information possible to make the switch easy and be productive on the the new MacBook.

Does running application and widgets in the background of a MacBook cause them to slow noticeably?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: How To Leave Mail In Server
Sep 23, 2010I'm leaving town and like to retrieve email from web server in those oversea internet cafe while still wish to leave incoming mail in my inbox at the home computer. Here's the confusion using Mail.
In Outlook Express, its very clear. We check the box "leave mail in the server". If we don't check it, nothing will happen.
But in Mail. it seems the reverse.
A) If we don't check the 3rd box, does it means forever its in the server?
B) Now if we check the 3rd box, we prompt the server to remove mail which in this case after one month and I'd assume the mail will be auto removed after one mth. Then what is the use of the right box (remove now).
I have done some experiment and it seems confusing. What I wanted was to able to retrieve mail from web server whilst in oversea while still maintaining all incoming mail for by home computer until my next order.

My question is, is it OK if I leave the other slot empty like that?
Or should I put the other 2 GB stick in as well?

Apr 8, 2009I would like to be able to have Stockcharts or other charting program open and go through a list of ticker symbols.
I have a "hotlist" I check regularly in a little textedit window which just takes up the corner of the screen. Trouble is when I enter a ticker into stockcharts, the textedit window gets knocked to the back and i have to use expose to show all windows then pick textedit again to look at my next ticker. It's just a slightly annoying timewaste.
Is there an elegant way to leave a list right at the front of everything no matter if I click on another window?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Leave Secondary HDD Powered Off Until I Need It?
Apr 25, 2012Like many others, I'm thinking of replacing my HDD with an SSD and replacing my optical drive with the original HDD. I plan on using the SSD as my boot volume and the HDD for storage. Part of the reason I am switching to an SSD is that I carry my laptop around quite a lot and don't feel confident that the HDD won't fail because of all the motion.
My question is: Can I leave the HDD powered off until I want to use it? Thus saving battery life and reducing the risk of HDD failure from being moved around too much. I would like to be able to mount the drive when I want to access the storage and unmount it when it is not in use. Is this possible?
