16GB of RAM makes MacBook Pro's fans go wild before sleep? Ah hah! Sorry, I never look over 13". At a guess I'd assume it's been tweaked in a specific customised build (which would be weird) or more likely somewhere in firmware. However, I can't find anymore reports like yours, so my idea might be out. |

16GB of RAM makes MacBook Pro's fans go wild before sleep? I don't think the newer Macbook actually have more than an 8Gb limit at all, just the iMacs and up. It sounds like if it's pegging the fans it's really trying to suck down the cache and struggling. |

16GB of RAM makes MacBook Pro's fans go wild before sleep? I won't leave this as answer as it's more a wild punt, but when you put the Mac to sleep it does essentially dump the contents of the RAM into the sleep file. I think the 8Gb cap might be there for that reason. |

Wi-Fi sync with iPhone and iPad fails often It's buggy. Really, really buggy. I've had issues with wifi sync with every single Apple iOS device I've owned (3/4) since it was introduced, so you're not alone. I've basically given up on it now, it's one of the many problems with iTunes that I can't see getting fixed |

Mountain Lion System Freeze - Poor Memory Handling? Oh nice, never even come across the sysdiagnose shortcut. I'll try it next time and update this post. |

Mountain Lion System Freeze - Poor Memory Handling? Just the one VM, and yes whilst that is a third it never caused system freezes like this under Snow Leopard, in fact I've never seen system freezes with this level of regularity under OS X. |

Mountain Lion System Freeze - Poor Memory Handling? Not much, about 700mb or so. It's always been fine about having VM's run up until Mountain Lion, even to the point of having multiple VMs running. I check into Console when it happens but it's pretty useless in most cases. |

Add Chrome to dock with parameters via Automator with chrome icon Do you mean how do you get the Automator.app file onto the Dock outside of just dragging it into place? |

Why would an internal DVD reader eject a burned DVD? Have they got Leopard installed? If they do (which as far as I know was DVD only) then something about your specific DVD is causing the drives to fail to read them, I remember having issues with specific formats and sticking to DVD-R (or similar, long time ago) to work around. |
