Fan Control setting (MacBook Air)

I bought a second hand MacBook Air (model: A1237) and noticed that it came loaded with Fan Control, an app for controlling fans no less, so I took a screen shot of it and was hoping that somebody could let me know if everything was functioning normally please?

The fans should function normally.
anyone knows how to uninstall fan control? | Apple Support Communities

The fan sound of macbook air

Is it normal to hear the fan sound of macbook air. not all the time

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Sometimes, when you are doing heavy tasks with your computer, temperature increases. Your Mac turns on fans automatically when temperature increases a lot, so it will keep your computer safe. It's normal and you shouldn't be worried if this doesn't happen all the time

Can you control a MacBook Air with an iPad?

First off I wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I teach in a small rural high school that has decided to implement 1-to-1 technology this school year. All students will be issued an iPad (3rd Gen), and all teachers have been issued an iPad (3rd Gen) along with a MacBook Air (I'm assuming it is whatever generation is currently new).
So here is my conundrum. Our school does not provide all teachers with a projector to use for presentations and such. This means that I have to lug around my personal projector if I will need it in class that day. What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to control my MacBook with my iPad, while the MacBook is connected to my projector? Ultimately I would like to be able to walk around my room with my iPad in hand with access to my MacBook and projector set up to control presentations, show things from the internet, or whatever else comes up.
I am assuming there is some way to do this, but I really am not sure where to look since I am still fairly new with the iPad. I've looked at apps like iTap VNC, but I am unsure if this is what I am looking for or if there is something else to consider. Any expensive programs (over $20) or equipment is out of the question since I have to pay for it myself and will not be reimbursed. I am unsure if this matters either, but the school is not providing us with any programs such as Keynote or other presentation programs. I am currently using Open Office on my MacBook.
I should probably also add that I have seen questions about using the iPad with a MacBook Pro. I was just unsure if similar solutions would work with this scenario.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

You need a remote app. Look at Team Viewer and Splashtop Remote. Both apps will allow you to control the computer from the iPad. I use Team Viewer a little now and then and you do have to get the hang of the movements and such, but both of the apps are for remote access of your computer.

Is there a fan inside a MacBook Air

I noticed my MacBook AIr getting a bit too warm at times, and wonder whether there is a fan
inside to cool it, that may need servicing.

Yes, but, it depends on the model and year:

Look through these guides. The older it is the more likely that the fan system needs cleaning or servicing.

Fan speed on Macbook Air 2,1

Hello,
I know from experience other users than just myself have or have had issues with heat on their Macbook Air.
My problem is that whatever I do, it gets hot quite quickly, and from 20 minutes of use on has the fan on maximum being 6500 RPM as I understand from iStat pro.
Is this a hard(ware) issue like the heat sink not ideally glued to the CPU or anything, or is it normal behaviour ?

Barry,
I think it depends on your normal workflow. With my MBair things are normal with web browsing and other light duties but heats up very quickly with any Graphics or CPU intensive activities. Watching any video heats up rapidly. So, your situation is normal for some activities but not normal for others.
Regards,
Captfred

Should the fan in my MacBook Air be running when the computer is shut and asleep?

Mine is, and this seems like a waste of battery life. I feel like the fan used to shut off when the computer was shut. But now, even when I close the MacBook, the fan still runs as fast as it did when the computer was open. Anyone know what the heck is going on here?

Yeah I think it is a Mavericks thing. Mine actually wasn't too bad. I closed the lid at night when my power was at about 52% and the fan kept going. I just went to bed, and in the morning, the fan had stopped, and my power was still around 51%, so it didn't eat any of my power like I thought it was going to. Mavericks must have the ability to cool your computer when needed even after you close it. It actually turned out to be not that big a deal.

Why is the fan of my Macbook Air suddenly so noisy?

It has become very noisy. The fan is running constantly. I never heard the fan before. Has something broken. The performance has not changed but it takes much more to start up and shut down.

Pair apple remote with macbook air, pair apple remote with macbook air

can any one please tell me how to pair apple remote control with macbook Air ????

now, I had the same issue
solved it by transforming my phone (Nokia 2700 c ) into a bluetooth remote
see this pages:

http://torrentsmd.com/forum.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=87892828&page=p11032817 #11032817
search in the list if the phone you have is compatible, then install the little program and you may even have a remote MOUSE by just clicking it on your phone
PS. even if it yoru phone is not in the list there is a big chance that it will work, (mine wasnt in the list and it works like a charm) it is based on java if I understand corectly and most of the phones understand that programing language.

Why is my macbook air making such a loud noise?

I have a Macbook Air 13". I have just switched it on and the fans are making are considerably louder than usual. The laptop isn't hot at all, in fact from what I can feel it's blowing out quite cool air. Any ideas on why it is doing this and how to stop it?

Hello there, Carly.
It sounds like the fans on your MacBook Air are running at full speed after you've turned on your computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers a great recommendation for troubleshooting this issue:
iMac: Fans run at full speed after computer turns on - Apple Support
If you press the iMac power button while you are connecting the power cord, the iMac will enter a mode in which the fans run at full speed. In order to correct the issue, reset the SMC. Your iMac should now start up and operate as expected.
To avoid this issue, be sure to start the computer by pressing the power button after you fully connect the power cord.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Flash is killing my MacBook Air

Whenever I watch a video in Chrome or Safari, the Flash plug-in sends the CPU through the roof. The fan on my MacBook Air goes bonkers and it runs really hot. I have to force quit the applications in Activity Monitor to bring the machine back to normal. All my software is up to date.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, and sorry for my subjective language.
The CPU will run at 90-110% before I kill it. I don't know how hot it runs but the fan goes into overtime.
And just now, I've connected my iPad to my Macbook and iPhoto is syncing. The same thing is happening: the fan is going really fast (normally I can't even hear it, but right now it's super loud and the top of my Macbook near the power socket is very hot to touch) and in Activity Monitor, iPHoto is at betwwen 140 and 150% of CPU.
This just doesn't seem normal, but this is my first Mac so I don't really know.

The fan on my macbook is loud

Tonight the "super quiet fan" on my MacBook Air is loud! Do I need repair??

are you doing the same type of activity on your mac that you normally do when the fan is quiet? If so, try an SMC reset

Macbook Air won't turn on after SMC reset

Hello,
The fan on my macbook air had suddenly started becoming very loud intermittently even with no apps running. I tried restarting the computer several times, but the problem persisted for about a week. Looking online, I found an SMC reset might solve the problem. However, after doing the reset, my Macbook now will not turn on at all. There is no startup chime or lights when pressing the startup button. The only thing that happens when I press the power button is that the light on the adapter turns from orange to green for second before turning back to orange.
I have an appointment with the Genius Bar tomorrow, but would like to seen if anyone has any suggestions. Thank You

Try the SMC again:

Then try a Safe Boot;

Any change?
