What is media booster and why is it on my macbook pro?
I have noticed some problems with my MacBook Pro from the end (apps crashing usually in Chrome, the fan runs continuously) and have tried to identify the source of the problem. Through this process, I came across some applications like Media Booster and Perian and Flip4MacWMV. I don't remember downloading Media Booster and when I did a quick search, I see that it is now deceased and causing problems for some. Can someone tell me if this happened with the computer? Thank you. See below for details.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2009)
1 TB Sata Drive
8 GB memory
Media Booster is an application that is used by the editors of game software to improve the speed of downloading through peer to peer downloads. Many of the games download as part of their installation.
Personally I wouldn't have it on my Mac, but then of course I'm not a gamer.

What social media analytics and reports do you use E10?
What social media analytics and reports do you use E10?
I am very curious as Marilyn well. I had some difficulty in finding ways to measure social with Eloqua.
I used the report Social Media breakdown under Web site reports, but the data are very basic and I can get a lot more Google Analytics. The SocialMedia_PowerHour.ppt is well over a year, and a version of the E10 could be very useful.
I'm looking for ways to see traffic to landing pages and forms that come from social media sources.
Also is there some ETA on a possible link Eloqua GA?

Why the fan on my macbook pro continue to run at a fast pace for long periods?
The MacBook Pro mid-2010
OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3 version
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB
163 GB available
iWorks ' 09 has been upgraded to the latest versions
No new upgrade is available for the system.
My Question: Why the fan on my macbook pro continues to run at a fast pace for long periods?
I guess that the fan runs constantly, because the CPU is working at a high rate. I rebooted several times but without any resolution systems. At the bottom of the computer is very hot at times so place the laptop on an object that allows good air circulation. This problem occurs intermittently every few weeks or more. I wonder if it is downloading an important upgrade, do a scan of viruses, or by working as a bot. Lights for hours. Currently, I estimate that it has worked rapidly to possible 6 hours. Thank you.
It will usually be to dissipate internal heat from running resource intensive applications.
Download and install a temperature/speed control application.
Open the activity monitor all THE PROCESSES and CPU to display values between high and low.
When the fan speeds up, post pictures of both for review.
Also run Apple Hardware Test:
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.
Ciao.

Try to add a page to a pages document. It worked until now but just finished page 13 with text and photos and cannot add another page, using macbook pro with El Capitan and the most recent version of the Pages.
You have placed your beam to insert at the end of your text on page 13 and then apply Insert menu: Page Break? In the v5.6.2, Pages I just add a new page to a section of four pages to this approach.
