Mine got oddly warm a few days ago as well--got
  my attention by being warm in my pocket. I turned it completely
  off and let it charge for a while, and it was fine when it woke
  up. 
  
  I thought it was creepy, but don't know what to do about it. I
  turned it off before it got really hot. Do you suppose it could
  start a fire overnight? Maybe it should spend the night in a dry
  ceramic vase.?

  Thought I would pass this along, I have NO idea what happened but for awhile last night I could fry an egg on my iPhone.  I had several apps update and then later in the evening the iPhone became so hot it was hard to hold.  The battery was draining faster than a 3 min. hourglass.   I restarted it several times, and that didn't help.  

Finally I opened the "Monitor" app to see what the "process's" were doing, there were several that were way into the 300's on the left column of "PID" (whatever that is) while the 100's was more common then down into the double digits for many at the bottom of the list.  Many of the names I could not recognize but a few I could and they were the updates to a few of the apps.  

Yellow Pages and White Pages had just been updated, as had the State Farm Pocket Agent and all three of those were in the 300+ range.  I began deleting the apps, but the numbers stayed high so I restarted it again after four apps had been removed.  After the restart the numbers were all in the 100's and it began to cool.  It is still working fine this morning so I don't know what was wrong but one of those apps (or all four) had something really wrong with them.   

Thought I would pass this along just in case you start feeling a blowtorch in your hand.

[MacGroup] Syncing with a Palm

2010-08-18 Thread Suzanne Blake

Dear Ones,
	I have a refurbished, no-longer-supported new 
Centro from Palm, which I got when the old one 
died.  I've never been able to get it to sync.
	I have gotten the non-Palm programs via UBS 
cable, but no Palm data at all.  I made a major 
mistake when I returned the broken phone before 
having Verizon switch the numbers to the new phone 
for me, but actually, it's my whole Contacts DB, 
not just the phone numbers, that I want anyway.
	I don't remember that this was a big deal the 
last time it happened.  (This is the third 
replacement, and my two years are up in October. 
The last one didn't sync either--that's why I 
returned it.  But evidently *I* am the problem.
	It appears I'm configuring something wrongly, but 
I'm stumped.  Any help would be welcome.

The machine names are the same.
	It's set for cable/cradle (on the Palm) and Palm 
Connect on Palm Desktop.  I tried Bluetooth, but 
it also transferred only non-Palm content.  Hot 
Sync is enabled.  iSync is not enabled.
	Here's a thought: I'm using a new modem since the 
last time I changed over.  So, I probably have a 
new web address, meaning, the  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
address that I had at the other house.  If this is 
the problem, where can I find my new address on 
this computer?  or would it make any difference?

Tell me I don't have to go back to Day-Timers!

Hi, folks,
	I have a mysterious folder that appeared on my 
desktop called Burn Folder.fpbf.  It's empty. 
Where did it come from, and is there any reason I 
shouldn't trash it?

[MacGroup] Is this phishing, or real

2009-09-08 Thread Suzanne Blake

Dear Ones,
	This looks as if it's from Insight, but I sent it 
to their spam address.  I've heard nothing back, 
and it has come for the second time.  I can't find 
anything about it on their website, and it still 
smacks of phishing.  Furthermore, the return 
address in the (whole) header seemed very 
convoluted.  Why would Insight send me something 
via half a dozen other computers?


	Somebody tell me to either answer this or just 
kill it off.  I'd like some reassurance one way or 
the other.

Re: [MacGroup] Tivo question.

2009-05-23 Thread Suzanne Blake
I shelled out for the Tivo HD, the memory 
extension.  I have never, ever run out of space; 
and there are 150 shows I'm through with waiting 
to delete themselves.

However, few of them are HD -- Insight has proved 
hopeless at getting the decoder cards to work 
right, so I just record in regular digital.  How 
did you set yours up, or who did it?  I have been 
planning to have Geek Squad give it a try, but 
their house calls are expensive.

I doubt that I'll get this done before a hip 
replacement on 6/10, since there are lots of loose 
ends to tie up before then.

Re: [MacGroup] Tivo vs. Apple TV vs. ???

I have a HD Tivo with 2 cable decoder cards. 
Insight has no idea how to hook them up nor do 
they show any signs of having any of their 
subcontractors learn how (2 visits so far.) When I 
get around to it,  I am going to have a house call 
from Geek Squad and see how they do.  Currently, I 
just don't record in HD, although I can record 2 
at once and have other Tivo advantages.

I don't know anything about Apple TV.

[MacGroup] Announcement from Apple

Apple announced today that it has developed a 
breast implant that can store and play music. The 
iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup 
and speaker size. This is considered a major 
social breakthrough, because women are always 
complaining about men staring at their breasts... 
and not listening to them.

[MacGroup] Tivo is reliable!

2008-09-07 Thread Suzanne Blake
I have 3 Tivo's, the earliest is an early type 2. 
  They all have lifetime contracts, and none has 
broken.  Well, the HD one crashed in the first 2 
months, and they replaced it without a peep--paid 
the postage both ways.  My only expense was 
packaging at UPS because I'd trashed the original box.

I have found Tivo very reliable and totally 
addictive.  I now feel imposed-upon if I actually 
have to watch something in real time.  Most of the 
things I watch record at times I would never 
consider watching live.  I always fast-forward the 
ads.  I use the captions, and during the 
conventions I discovered that the slowest 
fast-forward speed still shows the captions.  I 
could read and evaluate the speeches at normal 
reading speed and decide whether they were worth 
listening to.

Tivo is like high-speed internet.  Once you have 
it, you never consider dial-up good enough.  I 
love knowing the names of each episode so I can 
choose which ones to record.

I bought my HD when I did because the free service 
was available then.  I suspected they had 
something new in the pipeline, and I was right. 
However, on my 42 tv, the newer, better 
resolution wouldn't look any better (says Consumer 
Reports.)

My newest Tivo came with a wifi receiver, and I 
didn't have a clue what I was doing but set it up 
myself.  When in doubt, I chose the first option, 
and to my amazement, it worked.
