====== How to fix an overheating iMac; iMac is overheating ======

From: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-fix-overheating-imac-imac-overheating-tips-advice-3462816/


<code>
Fix overheating iMac the easy way
iMacThe first thing you should do is download and install fan control software. We 
recommend smcFanControl 2.2.2. This is a free software utility that lets you set a 
minimum speed for your iMac's built-in fans. It works only with Intel Macs, and won't 
go beneath a minimum speed so you can't overheat your iMac, and it won't stop the 
fans whirring it up when the iMac gets too hot. It's just a means of increasing the 
work the fans do all of the time to keep down the general temperature of your iMac's 
components.

In the event described above in which your iMac has overheated and shut down we recommend 
setting a minimum fan speeds of 2800rpm for the CPU and 2200rpm for the hard drive. See 
if that helps - you can always increase the fan's work further.

====== Five Ways to Reset a Lost Administrator Password ======

From: http://tidbits.com/article/14437

    Reset Login Keychain Password -- No matter which of these methods you use to reset a forgotten administrator 
    password, it won’t update the password protecting the account’s login keychain, which stores all of the user’s 
    passwords. Since the keychain is protected by the now-forgotten administrator password, there’s no way to get 
    back into it. Newer versions of Mac OS X may prompt about this problem at startup; otherwise you’ll need to 
    delete the keychain and start it over again, using these steps:

====== 10.6: Slow SMB browsing of Windows Servers fixed ======

From: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110430173901534

    By default in Mac OS X browsing to Windows 2008 and 2003 Servers is extremely slow, navigating from 
    one directory level to the next can take a minute or longer. I utilize my Mac to access the office 
    Windows 2008 and 2003 file servers and the speed to access these shares makes it almost impossible 
    to work from a Mac.

====== Record Voice ======

http://sound-studio.en.softonic.com/mac

Sound Studio is an easy to use but powerful application for recording and editing audio on your Mac.

It's ideal for anyone that wants to digitize tapes, vinyl records, record live performances, create their own mixes with crossfades, tweak levels and EQ settings, apply digital effects, and save the results in most major file formats. Alternatively, it's useful for anyone that wants to record and edit lectures, sermons, radio broadcasts and just about anything that you can record onto a digital audio recorder.

Note however that you can't save recording in MP3 format using Sound Studio

I will not use this software!!!!! from the google-search this here is announced as &quot;free&quot; and then it turns out to be only a 9-times use trial. This is unfair business practize. I... More
