My imac desktop 9.1 the fan keeps running..i have turned off and also pulled power plug but it still runs

the fan on my imac9.1 keeps running..i shut it down and pulled the plug..did not help

The fan minimum speeds are about 1200 rpm, so if the Mac is powered on and not sleeping, they're running.
An iMac's exhaust fans will not run if its power cord is disconnected. If that's what you meant to write, you're hearing something else.

    Hello there, Jacquefromaz.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews the steps to perform a reset of the System Management Controller (SMC):

  • I have an MAC OSX 10.6.7 and when I turn it on the fan keeps running.  I shut down/turn on and it's the same.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    jean156,
    I am a little confused, you are posting in an iMac forum however your profile only indicates you have a MacPro. While I agree a SMC reset may help please carefully read the link The hatter provided because different Mac's have a different processes for resetting the SMC.
    In the mean time you may want to update your profile (Your Stuff in upper right and click Profile) and also please post in the correct forum to avoid confusion.

  • The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer

    The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer. I tried to delete the program entirely (along with personal preferences), create a new account, install a different browser versions. All this did not help. (I have Windows 7.) Help, please! Every day I have to reinstall Firefox!

    Hello Nastena, try a clean re-install, certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you '''remove Firefox program files''' and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    * check also if your antivirus or other security software(firewall, antispyware etc) blocks firefox access.
    thank you

  • I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

    I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle.  It won't turn off and it won't come on.  anyone know what is wrong?

    My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen.  It won't turn off and won't come completely on.  Anyone know what is wrong?

    See if this lets the iPad start up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Downgrading is not an option for an iOS device.

  • I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTunes when I try to update my iTunes Match.  I have turned off iTunes Match, then reinstalled it, but that does not seem to work.  I also get another Error Code (4010) sometimes.  Can someone offer advice?

    I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTuens when  try to update my iTunes Match.  I have turned off Match, then reconnected, but the code keeps coming.  So does Error Code 4010 at times.  Can someone help?

    iTunes store, App Store, iTunes Match and various other services have been down for the past several hours. Apple's System Status page at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ now shows them back up but they are STILL NOT up for me or many other users. The error codes 4000 series refer to connection errors, I've gotten several from 4001-4010 all day. We're kind of at the mercy of Apple at this point. It would be nice if they would give us some notification about their problems since we are paying for their service.

  • HT201077 I have turned off photo stream on my iphone but the icloud photos dont disappear

    I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
    They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
    My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

    Hello Brenda,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.  It sounds like you're not able to access the Internet on your iPad.  I found a couple of resources that will help.
    If you are having trouble connecting to the Internet using Wi-Fi, I recommend the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If you are not able to access the Internet when connected to a cellular network, I recommend the following article:

  • The fan keeps running

    The fan in my Mac Pro keeps starting and stopping... any ideas as to what it may be?

    The fans in most modern Macs are in a direct feedback loop.
    They idle at a fairly quiet rate, and when temperatures increase, they kick up to higher speeds to eliminate the excess heat.
    You may need to remove accumulated Dust bunnies. The approved method is to move your Mac to an area where you don't care if it is dusty, then blast the dust into the air and out of your Mac with compressed air. Household vacuum cleaners should never be used near electronics, because their tools and wands can generate large static charges that can kill electronics long before you feel the Zap of a static discharge.

    Hi Tinkerbelll,
    I understand that you are having an issue with the printer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. In this document for 'Turn Power Off then On' Message Displays on the Control Panel there are steps to clear this error.
    Let me know if this helped or if you need further assistance.

  • Hi, I dropped my MacBook pro, it was closed and landed on its lower part. At the beginning the screen was black then but I could hear the fan working. I then restarted it and it seemed to work but it bacame extremely slow! Nothing is to work without freez

    I dropped my MacBook pro on the floor around 1 meter height, it landed on its bottom part, the lid was closed but it was on. When I opened it the screen was black and I could hear the fan sound. I restarted it and it took around 8 minutes to start!! Every thing became very slow and freezing all the time, I'm trying to back it up but it's freezing every time! The two fingers tap is not working also :(
    Does this mean that the hard drive is damaged or just needs to be fixed in its place properly?
    Please help.
    Thank you

    Something broke.  Accidental damage is not covered under Apple's warranty.
    It could be just a couple of connecter knocked loose, or the logic board could be cracked.
    Take it to Genius Bar to find out, and pray for loose connectors.
    Good luck.
