Fan continuous problem (different to over-activity)

I have a fan making a continuous powering up and then down in level noise from when the computer is switched on to when it is switched off. removing the plastic air flow piece tempoerarily stops it, but otherwise it is continuous.
Just before this happened I installed a pci ethernet card and I think a screw fell into the innards away from access. So that's the probable cause but I can't access the bit at the bottom and no end of tilting will release it (or shift it at all).
The mac works fine, but the noise is incredibly annoying being somewhat like an alarm siren in form if not volume. I'd love an app to change settings for and diagnose fan problems.

You may wish to consider shutting the G5 down until you have found that screw - this may help

In this case, it was trying to find the screw that screwed things up - so it obviously calls for some finesse...

MSI 890FXA-GD65 Shutdown(fans continue)/black screen

At random times as well but usually when I'm playing a game (but not always) the computer will go to a black screen with the fans continuing to spin. Some times my CPU fan gets really loud. I had been using the graphics card and PSU in my old machine with no problems, only after I installed the new mobo/cpu/ram did this problem begin to occur.
When this problem happens I can only turn the computer off with the powerswitch on the PSU.
I saw some other people had this issue but no resolutions were given. Also there's seemed to occur more frequently, mine might go for days with no problem. Right now I'm unsure what the issue is some I'm thinking of replacing the motherboard under warrenty. I waited too long to switch it with the store thinking it might be a driver issue but after having all the drivers updated it still continues.
Windows 7
1000W PSU
MSI GeForce NTS 460
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Memory
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 6 Core Processor 3.2GHZ Socket AM3

Hi guys,
I have the same board and I am experiencing the same thing. Random shutdowns after a week or so leaving the computer on. Tried to change everything but the motherboard so as a last resort I am trying the following after this thinking. The 890FXA is compatible with Bulldozer and as you can't have a BIOS for every CPU they must have merged functionalities. Remember this extra Pin for Bulldozer? well it is all about managing power so in my mind I thought that:
1) different power management with BD
2) same BIOS
3) same software developpers
4) same shutdown of the computer (CPU fan still running 100%, no video, ...)
5) same BS from MSI
So I looked into the BIOS and found the Green Power section that I entirely disabled (it also removed the cool VRM Led for the CPU but who really cares?). So far it's been 7 days that my computer is up doing cycles of encoding / decoding TV shows and I'm crossing my fingers. Give it a shot and report please... Hope it'll fix the board!

Fan speed problem Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC - please help

Please HELP, I have a fan speed problem with my Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC
This is a NOT an Intel machine. I am running Mac OS X v10.5.8
Power Mac G5 - PowerMac 7,2 - Power PC 970 (2.2) - 1.8 GHz with 2 CPUs - L2 Cache (per CPU) 512 KB - Memory 8 GB - Bus Speed 900 MHz - Boot ROM version 5.1.5b1
I have included below Links to download a sound file (.m4a) that I recorded of the fan speed problem and both a .pdf and .spx files of my system profile.
download sound file
http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/myG5dualsFans.m4a
down load .spx file of my system preferences
http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/systemProfileREP3-G5dual.spx
down load .pdf file of my system preferences
http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/systemProfileREP3-G5dual.pdf
When did the fan problem start?
After I replaced the mother board on the computer.
Why did I replace the mother board?
Because the experts at apple agreed with my diagnosis that the major crash problems & kernel panics must have some thing to do with a logic board gone bad. They would not work on it, because this Power Mac G5 dual 1.8 GHz machine is now a legacy model.
What I have done to attempt to fix my fan speed problem? yes I checked the obvious things, here is a list:
1) yes I checked to be sure that the new mother board was the same part number as the original one, and that all things that were unplugged from the old mother board - were actually plugged into the new mother board.
2) all the fans work, I can see them spinning if I use a flashlight and look at them (cover on and off to get at some of them)
3) check all RAM to make sure: a) it was installed properly b) that the RAM worked using TechTool Pro c) even started the machine with only the original RAM that came with it.
4) I installed a Temperature monitor - to see if there was something reading as very hot inside that was causing the machine to continually run the fans at a high speed. No, no heat issues that I can see. Here are the reading from the sensors in degrees fahrenheit, 2009-10-11 16:11:01 -0500
CPU A Die Temperature: 75.7℉
CPU B Die Temperature: 81.5℉
Drive Bay: 68.9℉
Main Logic Board Air Inlet: 64.8℉

Main Logic Board Backside: 76.3℉
Memory Controller Heatsink: 93.2℉
Processor Card A Ambient: 77.5℉
Processor Card B Ambient: 77.0℉
5) zapped the PRAM
6) followed the SMU reset instructions for
Power Mac G5 (Late 2004)
To reset the SMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) computer, simply do the following:
• Turn off the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
• Remove the power cord from the computer.
• Wait two minutes.
• Plug in the power cord.
• Turn on the computer.
7) followed the SMU reset instructions:
Resetting the Cuda/PMU
How to reset the PMU:
• If the computer is on, turn it off.
• Disconnect ALL cables from the computer, including peripherals and power.
• If possible, move the computer to a place where you are not standing on carpet.
• Open the case and ground yourself by touching part of the metal frame inside the computer.
• Find the Cuda or PMU button
• Press the Cuda or PMU button ONCE. Do not press the button more than once before starting the computer up again.
• Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the cables you removed in step 2 and turn the computer on.
• If the computer still does not respond after resetting the PMU, the computer may require service from an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
8) ran disk utilities, repaired permissions
9) found a setting in the system preferences that a chat room person suggested had something to do with fan speed. In Energy Saver, under options, processor performance was set to highest, I set it to automatic - this did not change anything that I could tell - BTW I checked my other G5 (a single processor that works fine) that is the setting that that it is set to, and it is nice and quiet.
10) restarted the machine, ..
11) found a Fan Control System Update - but it did not install when I tryed to install it -
12) booted from OSX install disk and ran that disk utility
13) used OnyX to fix disk permissions, clear caches and temp items
Nope - still have the same high speed fan problem. ... PLEASE HELP!!
I have been reading in the MacInTouch reader reports - found this: some one said to use this - thermal re-calibration using the Apple Authorized Service Providers' disk - but that's not available, at least I can not find it - anyone? have an answer to finding this - or can do it for me? I am in Chicago.

The Genius at the downtown apple store said that because it's a "legacy machine" they would not work on it, .. so should I push them?
Well, I personally think that's ridiculous, I'd Push them, I'd call AppleCare & talk up the chain if need be... there the ones that have or should have that Disc... man o man... Personally I'll never visit an Apple Store again in my lifetime, maybe try an independent AASP if none of that helps!..

Problem with printing over wireless network

Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.
I've recently bought a modem router which has a capability called"printer-server" and I decided to use this feature and print over wifi. I set it up but with a problem. when I print something, for instance, test page, instead of printing just one page, It will print "test page" in 3 pages( something like partial pages and which the last=third page is printed blankly) and then It freezes(printer screen shows "printing" and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it freezes and I have to replug it). I have this trouble not just in test page but at least from IE, office, PDF files. This problem is essentially about Wifi, since If I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works absolutely fine. also I have tried printing with different laptops over wifi but no go. below are more information which I have to mention:
1)Router is on WPA-PSK encryption type.
2)There is no mac-filtering or hiding SSID going on.
3)one laptop and an iPad is connected to router via wifi and a PC which is connected by LAN cable.
4)The printer IP address is the same as Router's settings page IP address.(192.168.0.1)
5)I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the printer's IP address in browser since it's the same as router IP address.
6)Firewall on my laptop( windows 7 32-bit) is off and I'm using no Anti-virus.
7) I have tried HP PRINT AND SCAN DOCTOR, but it says the printer is OK.
thanks
Leland
EDIT: after investigating for hours, I finally managed to get rid of freezing problem. now there is just one problem of that partial printing which happens coincidentally over wifi! I mean, sometimes it happens and sometimes not!
any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The bottomline is that this printer has no way of connecting other than a straight USB connection. In order to make it wireless you have to have a device that will give it an network IP address. The printer by itself can not do this.
The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPERATE USB Printer Server. Or, buy a separate router, like I said, that has a USB connection on the back that will support printers.
You can not connect it the way you want as it stands right now.
However, call your ISP and have them set it up IF their Gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer. It is their issue.

Fan continue to spin in sleep

i have an imac 21.5 late 2010 model. and even when its cold the fans continue to spin when in sleep anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it

Hello

Does your mac is unsualy HOT ?
Verify if a ribbon, a joint, the label of a cable or a cable gets(touches) the pales of the ventilator and provokes a jingle. ( imac need to be open for that , BE verry cafull , or ask a professional for this )

Mac fan continuously on

mac fan continuously on

Hello Greg,
I have the mad fan issue on my early 2009 Macbook. I've tried resetting the SMC following these instructions:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
But the problem is still there. Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks!

Same Problem - Different Scenario: Encountering Problems running Mac OS X c

Same Problem - Different Scenario: Encountering Problems running Mac OS X commands.
Hi. I'm having a weird experience on opening document using
the Microsoft word 2008 application in MAC OS X.
To be specific on what is the scope of my application.
What I'm trying to do is run or simulate my application on appletviewer on a certain pop-up HTML
document. The first part of my statement block on my code doing well on
executing the downloading process of a file and save it on local machine.
This portion of works fine.
But the thing that I'm having some difficulties is
whenever i Re-opened the downloaded file from my local machine
that is being downloaded from my server.
I'm trying to established a checking or triggering pattern that the
file from my local machine was modified or not.
doing this execution I'm using the following code below to figure it out:
java code:
portion of calling the trigger part
if((nMacEditMode = editFileViaMac(clientFile)) == 1)
baseApplet.addMsg("Opened and edited file on local machine ...");
else
if(nMacEditMode == 3)
baseApplet.addMsg("Opening and editing of file on local machine failed! Try again!!");
else
baseApplet.addMsg("No changes made. Server file unchanged! You may close this window.");
portion of the runtime execution of opening the file via MAC OS X
public int editFileViaMac(String wordFileName)
try
String cFile = wordFileName.trim().replaceAll(" ", "\\ ");
wordPath = wordPath.trim().replaceAll(" ", "\\ ");
Process wordProcess =null;
Date startTime;
Date endTime;
File wordFile = new File(cFile);
startTime = new Date(wordFile.lastModified());
String[] myCommand = { "open", "-a", wordPath, wordFile.getAbsolutePath(), "-W" };
wordProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(myCommand);
wordProcess.waitFor();
endTime = new Date(wordFile.lastModified());
if (startTime.before(endTime))
return 1;
return 2;
catch(Exception ex)
baseApplet.addMsg("Method Error : editFileViaMac() - "+ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
return 3;
Now the weird things happen here.
The file was able to opened- as I wanted to, but when a made changes or not doing anything.
The Microsoft Word 2008 application on the MAC Activity Monitor. The instance was still alive or
keep running and I execute MAC commands being implement on the Process on the Terminal and it still
stuck in that thing. which means I have to manually kill the process of the said application on
the GUI part of Task Manager of MAC and my 2nd statement on the if replies.
Any thoughts will glady appreciated.

Please ensure new topics are posted in an appropriate forum. I have moved this thread from "news & updates" but in future posts made there in error will be deleted.

Problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.

I have a problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.
It is a failed hard disk to the pc and was not able to deactivate the license adobe.
Now I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the software but it tells me that all licenses are used.
Is it possible to unlock the licenses in use?
Thank you.

Adobe can unlock licenses, this is a normal thing for them to do. You must contact them directly, there is no trick or other way.

I was able to print with my acrobat before, but I can no longer do it. the error message says "adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated" How do I activate it?

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

Problem sending mail over GPRS/EDGE

problem sending mail over GPRS/EDGE
i am in thailand right now with my iPhone 3G 16 GB (italian, no SIM-lock, 2.2). my problem: the iPhone does not send emails via GPRS/EDGE of local AIS mobile provider (there is no 3G in thailand right now). each time i try, i will get a prompt saying 'cannot send mail, the connection to the outgoing server "mail.gmx.net" failed'.
in germany, i use a contract SIM from o2, in thailand a prepaid SIM from AIS. i have configured 2 german pop mail accounts on my phone (gmx.de, o2online.de). receiving and sending email work fine on WLAN (everywhere, also here in thailand) and in germany on 3G/EDGE/GPRS. internet works everywhere, too. so, configuration seems to be okay. for each account, i use the same (smtp) sending server for all networks (ie i do not change configurations, using mail.gmx.net and pop.o2online.de). for a test, i changed smtp server to the AIS proprietary server mail.cscoms.com, but no change in behaviour.
so, any ideas how i can get my iPhone to not only receive but also send emails via GPRS of AIS?
thank you!

ok. i found the solution.
The problem is not in the iphone, the problem was DNS resolution in the server side.

Event Viewer reporting continuous problem with Firefox

I had to disable McAfee Site Advisor because if enabled I could not use the back and forth arrows on the browser in some instances. In trying to track this problem down I discovered there is a continuous problem reported in Event Viewer with this information:
The entry <C:\USERS\CINDY\APPDATA\LOCAL\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\PV0GC0WS.DEFAULT\CACHE\_CACHE_003_> in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details:
A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f)
Can anyone please help with this?

The error could be something trivial, it will depend really on what problems you are having, and I note you have made a few other posts.
* One article you may find useful is [[Basic troubleshooting]]
* Also see [[Safe Mode]] & [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
** Note when using safe mode normally do not make changes in the first dialogue Window you see just click on the continue button (Unless you really do want to reset something)
** Also note whilst Safe Mode does disable plugins, it will not always stop all external software interacting with firefox .
A basic principle of troubleshooting is to reduce as many unknown interactions as possible, so in the case of Firefox disabling or removing as many extras as possible.
If you are determined to check what is in the firefox caches then use ''about.cache'' simply type it into the location bar and hit return, it is relatively user friendly and shows masses of info about what is cached, there is also an [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/ add-on cacheviewer] Even without the add-on you may be able to figure out what the item is, and whether or not it is updating.
I do not even use Vista, but presumably an event log entry may not necessarily relate directly to Firefox use.
''"in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog "''
I would hazard a guess that the above message may relate to disk indexing; if so it will possibly have nil impact upon Firefox operation.
I do recall problems being mentioned on this forum about Site Advisor and Firefox, and note some versions are on the [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ blocklist] for Firefox 4. If you have problems with SiteAdvisor it would be worth ensuring you have the very latest compatible release of Site Advisor.
