After Mavericks Install, MBP runs hot all the time

Im sure this has been said all over the community but I have to add my two cents. My 2011 MBP was perfect on Mtn Lion. I started the update which failed on install, which I then had to wipe the HD and do a fresh install. My time machine backup wouldnt even restore, that was a fun night let me tell you. Anyways, ever since I installed Mavericks, not only do I have the service battery issue everyone else has but now even running firefox or watching a movie will make the laptop run super hot and the fans start going. Ive even had the MBP shut itself down twice b/c of the overheating. Example: I almost couldnt even get time machine to make a new first time backup b/c the laptop starting running hot during the backup and it shut itself down. The second attempt worked but it sure seemed like it was on the verge of shutting down again. I just tried resetting the SMC but I dont think it did anything if you want my honest opinion.
I hope apple is listening and realizes what mess mavericks is making of our older macbooks.

I did do the verify/repair disk, and there is nothing wrong with the disk. Havent had a chance yet to boot in safe mode. Will post an update shortly but in the meantime:

Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

Hi,
maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

G505s running hot all the time

So I have my G505s (still under warranty thank god) and has been running fine but now it seems that the fan isn't running anywhere near the percentage it should be. I have run energy management fan cleaning, bios is updated, AMD overdrive is downloaded... but it is physically hot and the fan does not change rates of speed. Yes, the power management setting is set at active... I am not even running anything and it is running hot.
Is there a driver or patch that alters the temperature protocols? Because if the fan can run faster, but isn't even when it is hot.... then it isn't serving the purpose.
Lenono please help me... and the fact this is a consistent problem isn't prompting me for reccomendations. If this continues I will be getting the laptop serviced under warranty or replaced because this is ridiculous.
I do run windows classic shell, but that has not been a problem yet.

hi reedbarnes,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to check, when you open AMD Overdrive, what are the values on the CPU frequency and temps?
- Sample image
In addition,is the system running on BIOS v3.00? Looking at the BIOS 3.00 - Summary of changes, this should fix the fan duty if you're getting CPU temps. between 50-90°C.
If you have the BIOS to v3.00 and you're getting high temps (eg. 60°C++) after logging into Windows and there are no startup apps / processes running on the background that's eating up high CPU resources then it's likely that the fan may need to be replaced (or the thermal paste and heatsink as it's not properly conducting the heat out of the APU). In this case, you may need to contact lenovo and report the issue as you may need to send the unit for service.

MBP Fans on all the time

Can anyone help with this.
My MBP 15" fans run all the time they dont ever stop, I taken this to an apple repair centre and the first time they replaced the top (keyboard) casing, that didnt work. I returned it again and they replaced the logic board and this hasnt worked either, Im sat here typing with the fans going mental (as am I). If I take this back again what will they choose to replace this time. If there is an apple guru out there please help.
By the way the only way I can get the laptop fans to stop is to pick it up off my lap and hold it vertically straight and the fans go off instantly. ***. Also whenever the fan problem occurs the keyboard light stops working. Ive spent £50 so far on travel to keep taking and collecting my MBP.
How many parts can they replace before I end up with a new one.
Regards Peter.

Hi Allen, thanks for the support. i did change to All Processes and there was nothing heavy going on, the only app I had running was chrome with this forum on.
Tomorrow Im going to contact the Apple Repair centre that has been doing the work so far. I guess Im just going to have to give them as much info as pos, pretty much what they have been told so far. Thing is you give your much loved macs to these expert and expect them to know what to repair but that doesn't seem to be the case with this. I deal with macs for a living but just not internally so its very frustrating. There are plenty of people out there with a similar issue out but the solutions people use seem to differ quite a lot, none of which have worked for me.
GET THIS
One strange way I can stop the fan is if the screen is kind of at its normal angle as Im using it on my lap, if I adjust the angle of the screen towards me about and inch the fan stops (LOL). What the **** is that all about. Only problem is its then very hard to use my laptop.
Cheers Peter.

Does my library computer have to be running iTunes all the time?

I was able to get home sharing set up, but unless I keep iTunes running on the computer my library is on, the other computer can't see the shared library. Any way around this, as I really don't feel like keeping iTunes running on my machine all the time?

I'm with Limnos. In my experience, iTunes has to be running on the computer you're trying to share from. (It's okay if it's minimised, so long as it's on.)

I reset SMC and now fan is running high all the time

I reset the SMC after finding info on here about the built-in iSight not working. Once it came back up the iSight is working, but the fan is on high all the time. I'm not sure what to do with this. History prior to resetting SMC: I hadn't used the camera since the hard-drive was replaced in October. However, my kids have used it to video chat via stickam with no problems yet iChat and Photo Booth wouldn't recognize the internal camera (System Profiler could see the camera). So I tried the fix I found on here - resetting the SMC. It fixed iSight but now the fan is on high all the time. Any thoughts on what I should do next?
If you need more info on the iMac - I can supply that later as I am away from that computer at the moment. Here is what I do know - 20" white iMac

Hi, an SMC reset is one of the things usually recommended as a possible fix for loud fans, not the cause. There are a few troubleshooting steps to take, but you'd be better off posting in the Intel iMac Forum. You are in the iMac G5 Forum. You have a newer computer. They'll try to help you over there.
EDIT I'm basing this on your SMC reset, which would indicate an Intel Mac. Sure it wasn't a PMU reset?

Can I keep my iMac running at all the times?

I have iMac, early 2009 version and in good condition. I would like to know, whether I can keep the machine ON at all the times ( 7 * 24hrs) or should I switch it off every night? So far, I am switching it off every night and switch it on the next morning. Please clarify me.

In talking with a tech guy at Applecare, I was told to shut the iMac down--all the way down--every so often. I'd been using "sleep" for months and months, but this chap said the processor is running at about 10% capacity in sleep mode. It was then accumulating signals, loading up the RAM, and slowing down the computer. If you shut down the computer from time to time--stopping the processor completely--the accumulated "noise" is erased, and the computer will run faster as a result.
I've used a lot of vague language here. I'm not sure exactly what happens when you use sleep mode for extended periods, but in following the tech's advice, my mac is running fast and smoothly.
So I'd say, DON'T keep your machine running forever.
FWIW.

New MBP seems to run hot & fan runs almost all the time

I've had my MBP for just about a week now. It's the new, 15", 2.2 GHz model. It's great, but I notice that it runs hotter than my Powerbook G4 did and the fan is almost always on. It's presently sitting on a wooden topped table. My house is not AC-ed, but the air temp is about 70 F/21 C today. Seems to run hot in my AC-ed faculty office too, when I am there. What is "normal" for this machine. TIA.

David,
Ditto what Ned says. To be sure, 80 C is not too hot (it is the temp that the MBP is designed to maintain as a working maximum), but that you are experiencing this temp at all times indicates that something is pushing the processor at all times.
That is not normal. As has been suggested, have a look at Activity Monitor. If you are not doing anything of any consequence at the time, your CPU usage should be very, very low, and processes that you see using CPU intermittently (there will be many of these processes) should only use a small percentage when they use any at all.

After installing osx mavericks my macbook pro restarts all the time

after i installed osx mavericks my mackbook pro always restarts again and again
can someone help me?

I have the same problem with my 2012 imac.
Maverick is working great on two macbook airs but the imac crashs multiple times a day. It's killing me as it's our workhorse.

After Mavericks Install, Mail has imported all mails into the wrong folders

Anyway to fix this without manually going through each and every email? I have over 6 years worth of email and now all the new mails, sent mails, spam mails have ended up getting filed away into "ALL MAILS."
It took two days to for Mail to upgrade and now it looks like it did a bad job. Any advice?

Hi Eric. Thanks for your response.
1. All the non-archived sub-folders already appeared under “On My Mac,” so they weren't hidden.
2. A restart helped, in fact. I first made a copy of the entire Library>Mail folder so I would still have all the .mbox content. Upon restart, Mail automatically created its own Archive. Fortunately, it contained all the subfolders in the manually created Archive mailbox that had disappeared. Apple apparently reserves the term "Archive" for its own use in Mail. I found another thread that arrives at the same conclusion and suggests a fix for a related problem: Re: Deleted my 'On my Mac' folder in Archived mail after Mountain Lion OS X update - all mail lost - how to retrieve?
3. I believe the answer to #3 is yes; she'll need to drag her non-archived subfolders to Apple's newly created Archive from now on.
4. I copied them along with the Library>Mail folder, so I'll have them if I need them.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

After installing mavericks, my air unexpectedly restarts all the time?!

Updated to Mavericks yesterday and now my laptop force-restarts randomly every hour or so. Not cool! Apple, what is up?
My battery life is also draining quickly but I'm not sure if that's related to the shutdowns or the new OS.

Hey, just a signal boost:
Same problem is happening. I've tried installing the update they provided (10.9.1) and nothing improved.
I've lost several college application essays and I'm sort of freaking out.
My pleas to Apple in the error reports have gone unanswered. I've been a faithful follower, Apple, please don't make me agree with my aggressively pro-PC friends!
Anybody?
Help?

My MBP runs hot in the boot volume selection menu

I noticed that when I start my MBP holding shift to get to the boot volume selection menu and leave it there for 15 minutes or so (might be shorter, I was gone both times that it's happened so far) the MBP gets unusually hot (almost too hot to touch between keyboard and screen) and I can hear the fans going much faster and louder than they should be (I think). After choosing one of the boot volumes and checking the temperatures in iStat Pro I see that the CPU is at just under 70°C. A few minutes later the temperatures go down by about 10°C and the fans quiet down running at the usual 2000rpm.
Why does it get so hot? How can a simple boot menu be consuming more resources than a full desktop environment plus open Dashboard (which FYI contains 20+ widgets).

Answer: yes, it does.

I downloaded Maverick and now safari quits all the time

I have checked and all updates have been done. Safari as well does not work properly, it goes back to system preferences, like home page goes back to apples page even though I have changed it to Google.ca. I am not able to use my favorites bar, I have to type in the site manually, when I can get it to stay open Grrr.
Any ideas out there???

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

After new update firefox grays out all the time; What do I do?

Plus it is just not responding, freezing when I type, pausing often. I have nothing conflicting running, to my knowledge and the blued e works fine.
This has happened since which ever last download you all sent over.
Oh so it is both hanging and crashing, and delaying even as I type this.
If I recall it said another program of firefox is running and I would have to shut down to start a new one
Thanks, Dlyn

What is "shorting out"? Shorting usually refers to an electrical problem.
You need to provide more info on your problem.
 Cheers, Tom
