i have itunes at home (on a mac) and at another location (on a pc) - simple enough, but my library is at home and i have limited tracks at the other venue. but when i plug in the i…
I think you'd have to format the iPod on Windows and set it to manually update (that means that you have to manually add songs to it, like dragging files to a disk). Then you shoul…
If he's having the "other" computer try totake over, the iPod may already be formatted for Windows. This lets you sync the iPod with either a Mac or a PC. The downside is that if…
I've read a lot of postings about resetting the Shuffle, but nothing that addresses my concern/desire.
Example: I'm out mowing the lawn, listening to my Shuffle with 'buds. Later …
From the iPod shuffle User's Guide:
"Press the Play/Pause button three times quickly (within one second)."
If you're in sequential mode, it'll return to the top of the playlist, …

APPLE DIDN'T APPLY THE HEATPASTE TOO WELL
REDONING IT REDUCED THE TEMP. BY APR. 10 DEGREES!!!
SEE LINK ABOVE FOR HOW TO DO

That's really impressive if it is true, but I don't think I dare to break open my Macbook Pro case (even though I've built my own PCs since the early 90s and am actually manical ab…
I dont want to shoot this down or anythign cuz for one that is an ungodly amount of paste they used which is definatley a factor in the heat problem. But if they used some crap on…

Differences in thermal paste will have no effect on the temperature of your computer in your lap. The only thing to vary is the Td between the chip and the heat sink on the other s…
Except that the report is that the fans go on more often with proper thermal paste applied, so what seems to be happening is that the heat is actually being lead through the heat p…
ok this is way out of my comprehenstion.
is what the guy posted a true fix? i dont see how apple could screw up what seems to be such a fundemental and usually simple task of a…
As per my previous post, no wonder I couldn't hear the MBP fan. There aren't any hot air coming from the back hinge area unlike my PB 12" when it is hot, the fan turns on and hot …

Yeah the fans turning on more often to me is an indicative that the chips are getting actually hotter, not cooler.
The guy could just be doing it wrong, so it doesn't dissipate as…
I don't buy that heat gets trapped INSIDE the case. If that would happen, then the heat wouldn't reach the fans and they wouldn't turn on.
Since they now turn on more often, accor…
What I don't buy is that the heat reaches more easy the exterior of the computer than the internal sensors, no matter how many thermal paste you put wrong there is more stuff betwe…
All of Intel's chips have thermal sensors built in. Another "system" temperature may be reported (who knows where that sensor is), but the CPU temp is from the internal diode.
You…
