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…
Ok, I can't find the link now, but one of these home-fixers specifically said that he saw temp sensors (or some wiring from it) by the fans only, nowhere else. So that means that t…
Been following the Apple discussions thread, now that there IS an utility to measure the chips IN DIE sensors. So far there are reports of people "fixing" the paste with high tempe…
I wouldn't say the heat is an "issue" more than a fundamental "flaw". The whine is an issue, and probably you will still get it with a new one, there is no official word on getting…
