how to cool down my ibook?

Something must be wrong with it, bring it back to where you got it, and have it checked out, and if that is normal, buy a cooling pad for it (aobut $30).It elevates you laptop off the table, and has fans for circulation, keeps you computer running as cool as possible.

Get a new keyboard.  Not that dear & not covered in kitty poo / sick.  I can't imagine how you'd clean that.\nJust realised you meant water.  Leave it to dry somewhere warm, but no direct heat.  Leave it for a couple of days perhaps.  As long as it's just water & not waste should be ok.

forget about dell! get a G5 Power Mac with dual 2.7 giga-hertz and 800gb of hard drive space!.. if you have $2,100. if not, get an iBook

I have a MacBook Pro 2.0GHz/256 VRAM with 2 GB RAM, 100 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive, and a Superdrive.  Yeah, it gets hot, but from my experience, it depends on my surroundings.  At home, it's gets warm and stays warm just a few minutes after I wake it up, but at school, i can keep it going and it stays pretty cool.  I've also used it outside in shade with a good breeze.  It stayed pretty cool then.  Pillows block the airflow to the bottom and also insulate the heat...not a good idea.  I'm currently using a piece of wood cut close to the size of the machine, but my dad has a plastic laptop holder thing that he got from the Sharper Image store. The wood seems to hold the heat, but the plastic seemed to keep everything cool.

what are we trying to do? Remove heat from the computer so it does not burn up. One way is to bring cool air and push out warm air. \n\nA fan does that and oh Yeah ....... it really really low cost.\nAnything else will increase the cost and you don't really want to do that do you. The more it costs to build it the more you pay for it.\n\nYes there other methods ... I know all of them but they all cost more money .....

add more RAM. that or you can open it up and mess with the jumpers or switches. Doing that will cause the processor to become hotter and it may overheat, ruining you notebook.

Hi there...you'll need to reinstall your system software.  This sounds like a system software corruption.  Insert your iBook G3's original software disc and at startup hold down the "C" key.  \n\nFor detailed instructions to reinstall OS X:\nhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151641\n\nFor further Mac questions consider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  Many Mac users here are able to help answer questions with the ability to walk you through each steps if necessary as well.

*smiles at Apple reference*\nwhen I was looking around before buying this laptop, i did wander into an apple store out of curiosity\n\nwalked out again about five minutes later and didn't seriously consider an ibook in any of my further reckoning :-)\n\nFor the uses you've specified, you'd be as well to buy second hand if money is an issue - anything you can get these days --- for all of Intel's hard sell TV adverts --- is about 3 or 4 times more powerful than you really need for any of that. But, if you can afford it, you may as well get a nicely specified machine; unlike getting a 4x more powerful car, you won't be spending a fortune on fuel or insurance, or suffering from cripplingly heavy handling or go deaf. A well made modern machine will burn up no more, or possibly less power than a much, much slower one from a few years ago, and weigh less / be quieter too.\n\nFirst question - what are your priorities re: portability vs capability? Will you be carrying it around a lot all day, doing a lot of work off the battery and mainly with lightweight files kept on the hard disc, or will it be mostly sat at home on a desk, plugged in, doing a fair bit of media work, playing DVDs etc? That's the main tradeoff these days, as there's an awful lot of choice in terms of form-factor. Used to be that a laptop was a known quantity in terms of size - like two letter writing pads stacked on each other. Not any more.\n\nPersonally I went for the lightweight portable route, as I needed to do a fair bit of wordprocessing and other office stuff on the road (well, the train, and around all manner of random places) and needed something a bit thinner, but no more spread out than that old 2-pad electronic jalopy (£40, used, with a good battery - bargain!) I'd been using before, as my arms were tired but the available work spaces were tight as rubber gloves on wet hands. A modern thin-bordered 12" screen offers a lot more working area (almost to the level of a once-common 14" tube monitor) than an older laptop, in the same size case - it's easily enough for me, and has the same resolution (same conceptual desktop space for windows etc) as my mother's heavier 14". Besides, if you're typing, you're only looking at a tiny, tiny part of it at a time; the old one had about half the pixel resolution of this and was still OK for writing lengthy reports!\n\nI've sacrificed a bit of potential screen area, a bit of hard drive space and CPU speed, one speaker (internal mono's not an issue if you rarely use it without (stereo) headphones) and an internal DVD drive in order to get something sleek and lightweight with a phenomenal battery runtime without paying over the odds; but with a little research and in-store testing, made sure the actual performance wasn't suffering much (quick HD even if "small", large and fast memory, current-generation albeit lower speed CPU, good graphics chip, good solid typist's keyboard, standard width screen to maximise the "useful" WP space). Plus it's a tablet PC... I can sign my name in documents, or flip it over and hold it like an actual paper pad and use the pen as a mouse... and as I waited for the easter sales, I got a cracking bundle deal with an (nice, but very bulky and therefore stay-at-home) external dual layer DVD writer, TV tuner card, etc.\n\nAlternatively, you may want to watch DVDs or not have brilliant sight, and particularly burn a lot of discs... an internal drive and a large screen will be particular boons here, and you'll likely get an even better keyboard into the bargain, with massive battery life or pen functions being minor concerns. They can go all the way up to 17" widescreen, with high quality integrated speakers etc, and what is more or less a full sized desktop keyboard attached --- becoming basically portable desktop PCs, in the same way that a 14" TV with a pop-out handle at the to

Depends on how long ur gonna leave it 'idle' for, if its for more than 5 hours, turn it off (eg over night) any less and i'd say let the screen saver run.\n\nOr better yet, use the hibernation option :D It saves all work on ur pc in temp memory than shutsdown, once restarted it opens all the programs that were open previously :D

Yes, it sounds weird, but I swear, a Chemistry friend of mine did it. And it worked. Basically, put some rubbing alcohol in a container, put it on top of your CPU and have a fan blow on the rubbing alcohol. Since it has a lower freezing point than water, it should help to cool it down further.\n\nBut, seriously, what are you doing to it? Because it takes a lot of effort to get it that hot, especially it being what it is. Does the room you have it in above 80degrees F? That might be an issue. Did you build your PC? Sometimes they may have overclocked it for you and you don't even know it.\n\nHope you find a solution. I seem to be stumped. Sorry, good luck.\n\nATTENTION: Addition, please read\n\nReceived your inquiry but I can't seem to reply back. It says that your e-mail address has yet to be confirmed. Hope this gets to you.\n\nIn answer, when they say that your processor speed is say 2.2Ghz, that is not your maximum running speed but your optimum. It is not good to run it faster than optimum as that could cause increased wear and tear. You can however tweak it to run faster.\n\nOne way to find out is to take the name of the processor and check it directly with the manufacturer to find out what the speed is. As I don't have any of your specs, that is all I can say.\n\nPS: Have you talked to the Tech Support about this? I think you should if you haven't.\nPPS: Silly question, but have you checked to see if there is enough coolant or water in there?

Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.

get a ibook\n\napple has just released a brand new iBook called macBook, you should definitely check it out. it is powerful and the value is great compared to a Sony VAIO. i have used the ibook as a student and i found it one of the best computer for college students.\n\nyou should know however that mac computers work differently from other computers. it does not use windows so some programs out there may not work with the ibook. in that case, apple has created a software called boot camp that allows user to install windows as well. it takes 2 hours to install it, but afterwards you have the best of both worlds :)

That is the laptop's way of cooling donw, don't worry there's nothing wrong with it.. I don't think there is any way of stopping it though...

Absolutely Not!!! I have had an IBook for about 4 years now and have had no problems. I still have my PC but never use it. Mac's are way easier to use - rarely have the same problems as PC's and if you have any problems Apple has incredible service. What I am hearing about their latest releases are awesome. I'd say take the leap - never heard anyone regret it.

it's not the operating system that makes your system hybernate it's in the bios you cant turn it on or off you must not have that feature on board why would you want to do this anyway just turn the thing off if your not using it.
