Jan 1, 2007My G4 iBook's goes full blast when ever I open it (waking it from sleep mode) or when I turn it on. I don't remember this always happening. The fans are really loud, it bothers me. Not the end of the world, but if there is a simple solution I'd like to do it. Also the fan dies down pretty fast so I don't think its a huge deal, but if its going to lead to a big problem I want to fix it now.

Jan 20, 2008My menu icons kept flashing on and off for a while. I left the computer by itself for a bit and returned to find the fans blowing at full blast and the cursor wouldn't move. So I pressed the power button to turn off the computer and restarted
My console log showed this repeated about every 30 seconds for about 30 mins
I think the icon flashing was a result of having a film dvd in an external drive like in this thread [URL]
I've ejected a film DVD that was in a Lacie external drive and verified my internal and external hard drives to check for any errors. All were ok.
I'm not too worried about the menu icons flashing but I am bother about the fans blowing like this. The fans have blown at full blast and crashed the computer about 12 times in the last 4 months when I have been away from the computer. So i'm a bit bothered about leaving the G5 alone. I haven't been able to replicate this fan issue - its random. Erasing the HD and installing Leopard doesn't seem to have stopped if from happening (I had the same problem in Tiger)
I have attached a screen capture of my Stat widget below
The slots and backside fans are always stuck at 76rpm and 51rpm. Also CPU A is normally at a high temperature than CPU B. I think the highest i've seen that temperature at has been about 75 but i don't look at it often. These stats were just when I was importing a CD into itunes fans were quietish.
I'm thinking about getting Apple to have a look at my G5 while the Applecare is still valid (it should run out in May).
Can anyone look at their Stats and see if their slot and backside speeds are stuck at similar rpms.
MacBook :: Fans Going Full Blast - Activity Monitor
Apr 27, 2009My mac has always been fine only getting up to about 70*c when encoding. Now it gets past that when doing nothing, and fans going full blast! Tried every mac temp. software. Looked in activity monitor, nothing major running, biggest thing is "activity monitor". I can just have it sitting on my counter, on hard surface, very hot fans full blast. Its a new MacBook White early 2009.

Jul 1, 2014I have a white MacBook and its three years old. It all of a sudden crashed last night and when I switched it back on the fans were running full, the time set to 1-1-2001 12:00am and there is an X through the battery sign. When I click on the battery charge symbol it says " No Batteries Available" although it clearly does as it runs without needing a charger. And then there’s the fan.
It started running at full speed (like I was playing a game or something) and it just runs like that all the time. I have restarted my computer and shut it down several times and the only problem fixed is the time. Also when the screen is shut it doesn’t go to sleep or even show signs that the lid is shut? I haven’t done anything to dislodge the sensor so I don’t know what the problem is.
Hardware :: Power Mac G5 Will Not Wake From Sleep / Fans Blowing Full Blast
Oct 9, 2005I just bought a new dual 2.0 ghz power mac G5 about 2 weeks ago. I set everything up and dowloaded all the updates for everything, and then about a week into using it the problem started. I left for work and when I got home that evening after the computer had been asleep all day, it sounded like the computer was taking off from a runway. It would not respond at all to the keyboard or mouse so I had to shut it down by holding the power button on the front of the unit and then start it back up. I called tech support but they had me turn the option off that puts the harddrive to sleep when possible and then turn off my screensaver. Well it was fine again for about a week and then it happened agin yesterday, not once but twice. I looked on apple discussion boards and there is alot of this happening. Well I took one guy's advice that seemed to know what he was talking about. I restarted holding the command-option-o-f keys down, then prompted the computer to reset the v-ram, and two other things he suggested to reset that I cannot remember. Then I restarted, trashed the energy saver prefs and ran a repair disk permissions task inside OSX. Well that is where I am now, and it has not done it again, but I am still trying to find out what exactly is going on here. I just spent $2000 on a machine and it appears messed up and Mac has no answer.

Jun 4, 2014My Macbook Pro (from mid-2010) has recently started running EXTREMELY slowly, and the fan continuously runs loudly. From other posts, I have checked my activity monitor to see if any process is taking up a lot of the CPU % and have found that nothing seems high, except the kernel_task which, from what I understand, is supposed to be high. I have also attempted to reset the SMC which didn't fix the problem either. I have taken my computer to the genius bar 3 times now, and they keep telling me nothing is wrong (because it works perfectly there), but when I get it home the fan comes back on, and everything runs slowly.

OS X :: Continuously Running Out Of Space On IMac HD
Jul 8, 2009For about a year now, I have been continuously losing space on my HD. I have long ago stopped downloading anything bigger than occasional jpg's or iTunes songs/podcasts, and I am constantly purging my computer of things b/c the space just keeps running out. Frankly, my estimate is that it should be at about 20 - 30 GB. It's at 500 MB, and after leaving it on for several hours, it will often chew up the virtual memory, drop to ZERO KB, and I restart to regain the 500 MB I had. This process cannot continue.
I ran a command on Terminal (something a guy on another forum site posted), and here's the results:
313M /.Spotlight-V100
12K /.svn
0B /.Trashes
512B /.vol
14G /Applications

Of "users", it's just me, though there is a Library folder under the 'MacIntosh HD' heading, and also a Library folder under my user heading as well. Somewhere in my Mac is stored like 30 GB+ of stuff I don't need, but I don't have the knowledge to know what I can dump and what I can't dump. I also accidentally created another account for myself by accident years ago, but never used it, and it uses up negligible space.
MacBook :: Motor Keeps Running Continuously?
Jul 3, 2012Ever since I upgraded to Lion (and doubled my RAM) it seems like my 2009 Macbook's motor ( for lack of a better term)Â seems to run and run until I put it to sleep. Is it all coincidental? I make sure it is vented. Doesn't seem to make a difference. And of course my Apple Care just expired.

Intel Mac :: Running OS X 10.5.8 - Disk Full, Can't Connect To Router, ITunes Error
May 1, 2012Our iMac running OS X 10.5.8 has several problems, some of which may be related.Â
1. The hard disk is close to full. I am not sure this is the root problem. I would like to either find junk files that I can delete (sort of like disk cleanup in Windows) or copy some old, but possibly still useful, files to a CD or an external hard drive, but I have not been able to do so.Â
2. I cannot connect via WiFi to my home LAN. If I try to connect, I get an "invalid password" error message, even though I am using the same password that other devices are using to connect successfully.Â
3. I cannot open iTunes because an unknown error occurs (13014). Â
The problems started when we tried syncing an iPad and the process would not stop. Then there was a temporary power outage. Â
We have also recently tried adding a Time Capsule to our home network. I am not sure that it is configured properly. I want to continue to use our older router for WiFi but use the Time Capsule for backing up Macs.Â

MacBook Air :: 2011 Fans Continuously Running (regular Fix Attempts Applied)
May 9, 2012I have a users machine that the fans wont stop running at high speed Its a 2011 MBA 13" i5 128gb ssd I installed a few fan monitors and fan controllers, they all say the fan is at 0rpm. Apple is not my first language; but Im warming up?I have performed an SMC reset as well as the P&R? reset?  Both went through properly, the SMC i could see the power cord light change colors, and the other reset performed before the chime would make the chime, black screen, rebooted. Alot of what I read on this topic consists of the machines fans ramping up because they are being used, or if its a fluke the SMC will reset it. I havnt been able to find anything in regards to the computer reporting 0% and just running non stop.

Intel Mac :: Won't Turn On And Continuously Beeps
May 12, 2012i tried turning on my iMac an hour ago and it whirred up with a black screen while beeping continuously, each beep an equal distance apart. I tried counting the beeps a few times and they don't seem to stop (I counted up to about 30 before i decided to stop, they kept going!)
I've read a few forum posts, and other things related on the internet, but no-one has a problem with continuous beeping. I don't know how to open up my mac book and replace RAM, or anything of the sorts.

OS X :: CPU Fan Running At Full Speed All The Time
Mar 4, 201020'' Aluminium iMac, 2.4ghz, 4GB RAM, 2133.
My internal hard drive recently fatally crashed out so I replaced the hard drive with a nice big 1TB one. Since i put the machine back together and reinstalled OSX (Leopard 10.5), this fan has been going constantly:
The one you can see at the bottom there. I guess its the CPU
I installed the iStat widget to check what the temperatures were like inside. I got this back:
By this point I'm assuming the sensor/s is either disconnected or something worse, and the fan is being clever and safe by running all the time. So I open it up and check the connections which seem to be fine, but i give them a blow etc and THEN I got a reading on the temps, and the fan was working nice and calm. I closed her up, and typically, the problem started again.
I assumed that the case had something to do with it, pressing on the sensor or something. Which it wasn't.
I did all the things I did the first time again, but this time with no temperature readings at any stage.
Now I'm not sure what to do. The fan is running at full speed all the time and I have no temperature readings, save the two shown above. I also tried the application 'Temperature Monitor' with the same results.
Mac Pro :: Fans Running At Full Speed Non Stop
Mar 27, 2009Brand new 2009 octo, with the 2.2x ghz CPUs. Turn it on, start NO apps. Let it sit idle. Within a few minutes the fans ramp up to FULL jet engine speed. I can't hear people on the telephone. And never stop. Let me reiterate that I am running NO apps. My load averages are in the zeros.

Feb 28, 2009I've got a little problem with my iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Nvidia Geforce 8800GS 500GB. When I start it up, the fans start blowing at full speed. I checked the apple support page for support and found my problem with all the symptoms being correct. The support said I had to reset the SMC by shutting down the iMac, then removing the power cord and all the other one's, wait 15 seconds and then put the power cord and the other one's in respectively. I did this almost 10 times, but my iMac still won't stop making those annoying noises. Maybe it has to do with the SMC fancontrol app my brother installed lately.

Aug 31, 2014I had to delete a Yosemite partition I created on my mid 2012 macbook pro because the 16gig available filled up fast.
I check my HD and it was almost full to capacity, it shows I had 2.2 TB of photos and 1.5 TB of audio.
I don't know if this photos and music kept adding each time I sync my iphone or each time i log on to Facebook.
Anyway I would like to FREE UP THE SPACE but how, and would I need to have 3plus TB of external DH to do this, or what??????

Apr 14, 2010So today I opened up my MBP to clean it out and stuff (it had a ton of dust... A wall of it had built up where the fans blow out)All is fine and dandy now except for one thing. Since I don't want to open my case up for the second time today (right fan wasn't plugged in all the way first time I started it up... oops x( ) I'm asking here since everything else seems to be fine.
What I did:
Opened everything up all the way down to the heatsink.Applied correct amount of Thermal paste.plugged everything back in (right fan wasn't perfect at first, but fixed and stupidly didn't double check everything else while I was in there)
And now both fans are running at 6k (full) constantly. I tried resetting PRAM and SMC with no luck. I'm about to grab my disk 1 and run the diagnosis to see if that turns up anything.Are there any plugs that I might have accidentally not plugged in all the way or at all that would cause this? Also any other suggestions if everything is plugged in correctly?

Also, I have iStat Menu. No apps using all my CPU (Mostly <10% usage right now) and temp is mostly <40c right now. All temps have a temperature so I'm assuming all heat sensors are fine.On a great note: My computer is so much cooler now! Even before this at 6k rpm I'd get down to MAYBE 45c if I was lucky.I also have Fan Control installed and it's not having any effect
Intel Mac :: Running Constantly Hot - Changed The Hard Drive But It Is Running Hot?
Mar 5, 2012I've had an iMac for just about a year and over time I guess I just didn't notice but the machine always ran very quietly. At the same time the back of the computer would heat up so bad that it would nearly burn my hand if I left it there. Well last week I decided to upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard and when I did the install failed and froze up the hard drive. I took the computer in to the apple store and they determined that it had to have a new hard drive installed because the old one (only a year old) had a physical malfunction (was broke). So anyway I have my iMac back and get it started up, backed up from time machine, and then finally get Lion istalled - and now all of the sudden I notice that the fans in the computer are CONSTANTLY blowing - I can hear them spinning and can hear the air venting out of the back of the computer - and the computer is STILL really hot on the backside of the screen. Â
So now I am wondering if the originial problem was the computer heating up and if that may have broken the otherwise good hard drive? Also now that I have a new hard drive - should I be concerned about the fans being on ALL the time? I mean they never go off. Even when I leave the computer for hours and come back to it and the screen is asleep the fans are STILL buzzing away at top speed. Here is the stats on the computer at the time that I'm typing this note - there are no other programs running than Firefox and Mail. Also - I don't know what the optical drive is exaclty - but if it's the DVD drive (superdrive) - there is nothing in the DVD disc driveÂ
