27" imac is hot even after reinstall

I have a late 2009 27" imac 3.6ghz Intel core 2 Duo and lately the fans have been running high, the case has been really hot (top left) and Im wondering whats going on.
here is my iStat numbers:
Temps (in F)
Macintosh HD 124
CPU 119
Ambient 109
GPU Diode 133
GPU Heatsink 133
Mem Controller 128
Northbridge 151
optical drive 121
whats going on with my mac??
I reinstalled last night and nothing changed

Your Mac comes with software that measures temperatures and adjusts fan speeds to suit the environmental situation and operational parameters.  It's part of OS X.
If you want to take over responsibility for this function by using additional software, then I'd suggest
A) You need a good reason to do this, and I'd be interested to know what this is
B) You need to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to drive that extra software
If the software you are using is safe to use, it will provide guidance on its use, so that it doesn't get you into trouble.  If it doesn't do that and you're not a suitably skilled engineer, then I'd say, get rid of it quickly and let OS X do its job without interference.  Otherwise, you risk overheating expensive components as you've already discovered.

  • My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhoto '11 suddenly not launching even after reinstalling

    I am currently running version 10.6.8 and was using iPhoto '11 for many months without any problems until today!  Suddenly slideshows disappeared, so I checked for any updates - which there was one - and downloaded it.  I then restarted my computer however afterwards iPhoto wouldn't launch at all!  It gives an error message:
    "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Maac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
    Tried restarting again just to make sure. Nothing but same error message.  So, reinstalled the Life '09 disk (since I had purchased iPhoto '11 online).  Even after reinstalling I am only getting the same error message.  No idea what to do now... Please help?! 

    Did you trash the Receipts before reinstalling?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

    You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network.  Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark.  You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x.  If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
    First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network".  Then turn WiFi off.  Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information.  If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
    In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music.  Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

  • Firefox opens but completely unresponsive even after reinstall

    I'd been having problems with Firefox hanging. It didn't appear to have anything to do with any of my addones, as I continued having problems even after disabling them--first one at a time, then all of them. Now after updating to the new version, (thinking that might be the problem) it will open but then immediately hangs (I am unable to even try any of the "fixes"): Error mesasge in toolbar "Firefox is not respponding". I tried completlyuninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. Now the first time I uninstalled and reinstalled I was given the option of deleting my presonal preferences as well, essentially reinstalling a factory fresh Firefox browser. I said no,. Well when the reinsiall didn't work, I tried uninstalling again but this time the option didn't even come up. I have also tried a systm restore without effect. In addition I have run a complete virus scan with AVG and I'm coming up clean. There are several odd things about this glitch: At some point an addon that synchonized my FF favorites with my other browsers erased the back ups on the other browsers (it isn't supposed to do that if shut off as far as I know or I would have chosen a different method). I can't locate my FF favorites in order to save the file (I really want to keep them). The favorites bar is still on the toolbar, so they do seem to be intact on FF, of course I can't access anything. I am completely flummoxed given that even uninstalling and reinstalling hasn't worked. I am not getting any other error messages other than that the browser is not responding. I am currently using Windows 7 on a gateway netbook. The only thing that might possibly have anything to do with this is that at some point some program changed my home page and search engine to Delta. I suspect it was Vuze, but I had selected no and aborted the installation. I still had to manually change them back to my personal defaults. Obviously that shouldn't have affected my browser in this way. The only two other programs I've installed within this time period were from Giveaway of the day and Games giveaway of the Day both reputable websites. None of the feedback from these two programs indicated anything about hijacked home/search engines from other users--who would most definitely be kicking up a fuss. So I have two basic issues: Fixing FF and saving my favorites from FF. Tried again, making sure that the AVG was off, and while it didn't hang the first second, it started hanging as soon as I opened a web page or the add on page. Also note that I cannot install the troubleshooter. I saved the program but it won't install or even apparently recognize that I have FF installed.

  • Can't use time machine due to corruptness even after reinstalling snow lepoard how to fix?

    Yes, someone stole my original apple id in 2009. Now i bought another iphone in late 2012 , Created another apple id due to Apple not being able to help me access my original apple id. Which now since 2 months ago someone or company, or bank stole my second apple id. My iphone 4s with Sprint has no celluar connection supossedly due to no internet  that is what sprint said but I looked it up on apple and it stated that there is a cellluar block on my iphone4s.
    So I guess I will have to go in person to Sprint so they can explain that to me and why I was lied to on the phone earlier.  Back to my 2nd stolen apple id that I registered  my macbook,airport express router, and iphone4s and apple TV. So who ever stole this apple id obviously took over all my mac products I had registered to it. Enough about that back to trying to use time machine....Everytime i do,  my macbook just starts acting all screwed up.  I bought a WD external drive for Mac but I believe someone must have claimed it too.  Since there is 75gb on it that I can't access.  Kind of like my Macbook stating I can't save or have access to the Root .  That is another thing after reinstalling snow lepoard  which works great until I update it.  Which is a problem because everytime I update it to  10.6.8  All the permissions are changed the graphics look horrible and I get redirected so bad its not funny. The email account is a joke.   Also I notice my stationary for email is in Spanish not sure why and on Iworks the document samples are also in spanish. Now I dont speak any other language except ENGLISH AND HAVE LIVED IN UNITEDSTATES MY ENTIRE LIFE.  But my internet provider Fibrant which swears they are local  shows it is in the UK also when i try to access my email for that account it states it is not safe , certificate is expired and someone might be trying to impersonate my server.  Needless to say it is getting old. I had this same problem with Timewarner and Att except att would just remove my ethernet driver then laugh when i would call and ask what the problem was.  Then later I find out when I had DSL that somehow the phone number they had listed was  change to being a digit off from my DSL account which again they laughed and thought it was funny.     Enough about that.  I need to know how to get access to my Apple id.  I gave up on the first one but the second one I did have access to until I registered all my apple products.  What is up with every thing I have with a usb port being corrupt.  I have also notice anywhere in town where I live my phone is English until I come home it is arabic,hebrew , spanish any language except English.  Shouldn't I be safer in my home???????????????  But I am not I am safer in town or anywhere but my home.  EVerything states international  in my home and this has been going on since 2009.....No one can tell me why.  My power from Duke reads that OTHER Is costing me the most $$ every month what ????? This is a joke.    But yet no one can tell me why or how to fix the problem.  Going on 5 years , I have been cut off from everyone I know.  Can't keep contacts on a phone or email accts. They all disappear.  All so I am in Eastern time zone but all my computers and tv seems to think I am in pacific timezone.  No one can fix this problem either.   So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix at least one of my 5 year problems I would be grateful.  I try to create a new email account but either I am locked out right after or someone turns it into an alias account which doesn't help me.  When I was layed off in 2009-2010  I went back to school/college.  Needless to say they took my School email acct too. 
    Back to my iphone 4s problem.  My icloud email account gets alot of spam starting about 2 months ago and I can't stop it. I try to foward it to Spam @ me but it hasn't helped.My iphone can only connect to the internet with wifi.  Sprint swears that there is not a block but according to apple there is.
    About my macbook and apple ID how can I upgrade my Macbook from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with out all the permissions being changed and corrupt?? I have tried several times and it is always the same. I won't to connect my iphone to itunes to try to restore it but it states I  have to update it to 10.6.8. When I do that my computer is alot worse off.  Also how can I use TimeMachine with out my Macbook getting messed up?  Something in my house has taken over anything with a usb port actually years ago and probably now something kept turning all my computers and phones or any electronic I owned it to a printer.  I actually can't even use a printer in my home thats the funny thing.  When I try to connect one when I used windows it stated I had no rights to it and couldn't use it.  Since I switch to Mac not much better.  When I try to print a test page it is all crooked and too small of half off the page.   So it is upsetting that I can't use  a printer but something keeps turning all my electronics into printers.  If anyone knows how to fix this problem that would be great or to stop all this international stuff going on in my home that would  be wonderful.  I try to buy brand new pcs but soon as I start them up something had already taken over. This is with nothing electronic in my home on. Turn everything that a power switch off or unplugged it.  Still I lost rights and access to anything in my home. Now if I am away from my home and try to use one of my laptops they look completely different and almost usable.   Unfortunately I can't afford to move. I thought about it but I am still in bankruptcy and don't have the money.  In the last 4 years I have not been able to reinstall in backups that I have created.  Not sure why oh wait it states I have no rights to do that.  My macbook I lost access to a week after I bought it and connected my iphone too.  You don't know how many times I wish I had never backed my iphone 4s to my Macbook.  Right after I could not log into it.  Even used the disk to reset the password nope still couldn't log into it.   Try to type the formula for resetting the password and nope it didn't work either.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated---Need to gain access to my apple Id that would be a great start

  • Pages, Numbers, Keynote won't launch even after reinstall

    After a new OS (10.5.8) install none of my iLife (09) or iWork (09) apps worked. I reinstalled iLife successfully. But, my iWork apps won't launch even after a reinstall from the original DVD and updating to 4.0.4
    My trouble shooting steps so far have been a reinstall from DVD, software update, permissions repair.
    Dyld Error Message:

    First deinstall iWork. You can download Yvans script from _https://public.me.com/koenigyvan_ named

  • QuickTime not working even after reinstall

    For some reason QuickTime is not working in Safari 5 for a page on my website even after a reinstall of QT 7.6.6
    Yet for Firefox 3.6.6 it is.
    I added an extension ("Deanimator") for Safari 5 a few days ago, but then removed it soon afterwards.
    There is a chance this extension may be the culprit because even Firefox had QT disabled so I had to reactivate it.
    Unfortunately I don't see any easy way to simply reactive QT for Safari (and as I said... I did reinstall QT 7.6.6 and restart my computer).
    Any ideas? Is there something simple I am missing?
    FWIW... HERE (click) is the webpage that works for Firefox but not Safari.
    It is normally a popup window so it will be way off center when the link above is clicked on... but you get the idea...
    Message was edited by: RonL

    QuickTimeKirk,
    "I opened it using QuickTime...""...I don't see any "animation."
    Strange indeed since if my very first link in my first post is clicked on (while using Firefox 3.6.6 or Camino 2.0.3) the simple animation displays.
    I did open the .mov file in QT and I agree it does not animate for me either in this fashion.
    I had not viewed this page, or .mov file, in some time and when I last looked (many versions back on both QT and Safari) there was no problem.
    Again... very strange that it would animate in Firefox and Camino since when directly opened in QT it does not.
    "The html code uses the "embed" tag but yours is missing the closing tag."
    According to Apple there is no closing tag for this... and my syntax checker does not indicate a missing closing tag. Would you refer me to a URL that defines this?
    Thanks.

  • I can't open the app even after reinstalation !

    As I said previously, I can't open it even after switched off the iPad, restarted the app and redownloaded it...
    When I launch it, a grey screen appears and then the app crash ...
    Help me please !

    The problems mostly happen when I am using X-Y compare in Library mode. It shows black rectancles over the tops of the sections that contain the photos and these flash. They aren't always the same size, but are only on the top of the section - never big enough to completely cover the photos. Then I get anywhere from one to about four or five extra windows stacked on top of the Lightroom Icon at the bottom of my screen (I use Windows 8) opening and closing, though there isn't enough time for me to click on them and read them because my computer gets so slow that my mouse actin is delayed by a few seconds. And, to shut Lightroom down, I need to use Windows task manager because clicking on the little red box with the X in the upper right corner accomplishes nothing. I have a new Sony Vaio i5 chip and 8Gb RAM. This also hapened on my old computer, though not as often
