Fan noise after downloading Mac OSX 10.4.6

After I downloaded Mac OSX 10.4.6 I noticed that my fans made a little noise and seem to be somewhat louder. This was not the case prior to me downlaoding the new version of Mac OSX. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what is the remedy?

HT1893 After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer. The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer. The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

Often, you have to download updated vendor software drivers when you switch operating systems. HP doesn't list a C5500 on their web site, however, here's the link to the OS X 10.6 C5540 software. If you have one of the other C55xx models, look for the updated driver/scan software on their software/driver download section of HP.Com.

Why do I have fan noise after OS 10.7.5 update?

I used to have moaning sounds coming from my Mac Pro (Quad Core, early 2008) when I was in motion graphics programs, or in NetFlix. But ever since I updated to OS 10.7.5 3 days ago, the fan moaning is incessant. Help! I just spent $200 on an old geezer "official Mac" technician, who came to my home office and spent 2 hours doing DiskWarrior!
I am so busy right now, I can't stop to take the tower to a local authorized shop. Will the noise sink my CPU? What is causing it? Is it a glitch in OS 10.7.5? Or do I need new fan(s)?
Anyone hear complaints of sudden incessant noise other than mine?

I used the following:
Copy and past the following in terminal followed by your password when asked for:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
Note that if you've got anything listed in the Spotlight control panel in Privacy, it will be deleted.
To turn it back on (which I haven't tried yet since I don't use Spotlight):
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
When Spotlight is frantically reading everything and indexing it, a lot of CPU % is used, and the HD is being exercised too. That generates heat and could be the cause of the increased fan noise when your Mac Pro speeds up its fans to try to protect itself. 10.7.5 seems problematic in this respect and since your noise problem started after the 10.7.5 update, the two might be connected. Apple tends to run a Mac Pro's fans very slowly to keep the machine quiet, so any speedup would be noticeable.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

HT2261 how can i download mac osx 10.5

hi i want to download mac osx 10.5 how can i do

Note, MacBook Pros newer than October 26, 2007 may need to watch out which 10.5 installer disk they get.
Apple released 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 as retail releases. Given the fact that Apple has 10.6 available and it is compatible with more applications than 10.5, and has more current security updates available, I would say that for MacBook Pros it is far better to purchase 10.6, and bring it up to 10.6.8, than buy any version of 10.5. Only a few applications can run on 10.5 only. Everything you needed to know about 10.6 is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
If you don't rely that heavily on old software you may want to jump straight to 10.7 or later after that:

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

AS mentioned, you need 10.6.8 & the App Store first, it's not available any other way, & 10.7 instead of 10.8 requires a call to Apple...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

Kernel Panic Error after last MAC OSX update

Hi all,
My first post here.
Last week, after install the last update of MAC OSX on my intel IMac (last of 2009), when the computer was restarting, a kernel error screen appears...
I've launched the safe mode, and the computer starts fine and I've execute the disk utility to repair HDD and rights. I've done the same initializing from the installation DVD, but the kernel error appears again...
I leave only the usb apple keyboard plugged, and I don't understand why this error still happening, and of course why it occurs after a MAC OSX standard update (no new hardware or software installed in the las month).
I'm little desperate with this issue
kernel error.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards
Hugo

Hi Hugo, & a warm welcome to the forums!
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
It does look like the com.metakine.handsoff.driver, whatever that's about.

What do I do if I cannot download mac osx due to no space on my computer?

I cannot download Mac OSX due to not enough space on my computer. What do I do to
create space?

Free up space.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Fan noise after OSX update - Mail above 100% CPU

Hi,
I just updated to the latest 10.8.4 version and suddenly Apple Mail is running at 75% till over 100% CPU consumption making the fan running constantly. There is no active usage of Mail, no loading of heavy emails or anything. This problem with Mail never occurred before and it happened directly after the update so there might be a relation. The fan noise stops as soon as I quit Mail.
What could be the reason?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hey,
problem is solved: I deactivated and again activated my mail accounts by clicking the check boxes in Mail´s preferences menu. Immediately the CPU consumption fell to normal and so did the fan.
Cheers,
Eric

Fan noise after update

I have a mac mini intel 1,83Ghz with 1Gb ram since November 2006. The RAM was set up by the vendor.
Everything was fine since the beginning of this week: update, new programme, i don't know? but now the fan seems to work everytime. No special use: internet, mail, some series...
I check the cpu usage:ok ; the temperature: about 58 °C ; disk, etc ok
So what? I see this problemon on a lot of forums but no solution...
Please give me some help
PS: I never touch/move or open my mac mini since received (no fan noise at that moment)

Well, I seem to have fixed the problem, although I did a couple things simultaneously, so I'm not sure which actually cured it. I checked for updates and downloaded a macmini firmware update. I followed the instructions for installing the firmware, which involve shutting down the machine and then holding the start button down til the light bar comes on solid after flashing. While it was off, I also unplugged everthing and let the Mini sit for 30 seconds. I'd read that this will reset the System Management Controller, which among other things, controls the fan. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446) When the machine came back up, the fan was quiet. Now I also picked it up while it was disconnected, so there's a chance that a loose connection might have reseated just enought to work again for a bit. We'll see.

Short burst of fan noises after sleep?

Does anyone else experience this and is it normal?
I have a brand new Dual 3GHz Mac Pro. When I wake it from sleep (after a few seconds or a few hours, makes no difference), there is a sudden short (about 1 to 2 seconds) burst of fan noise, kind of like a short rev, then when monitor kicks in computer goes to almost silent again, part from a slight hum.
Does this sound normal, can Mac Pro users quickly sleep and then unsleep your computer and tell me if you expreience this?

The fans are controlled by routines in the operating system that monitor all the temperature sensors. These routines also send periodic signals to the control circuitry saying everything is under control. In the absence of these periodic signals (e.g. the temperature routines aren't running yet because the boot procedure isn't complete, or the system has frozen), the circuitry switches all the fans to full speed, to be on the safe side, and prevent overheating. This will happen when power it turned on, or the system has just woken up. It may also happen when running hardware tests, when certain parts must be tested at full speed without interruption.

Reconnect Magic Mouse/keyboard after reinstalling Mac OSX

After about a week I finally managed to reinstall Mac OSX Snow Leopard...I took a RAM stick out at random and it worked...good thing there weren't any Genius bar appointments which suited me.
Anyway, now I need to connect a keyboard
I've already got my USB keyboard in it (The same size one as the wireless one...but this one's wired)
I've unplugged it, plugged it back in. I've dug out my wireless keyboard and nothing's happened (Yes, the green light blinks...)
I put my iMac to sleep, I turned it off, it still isn't working...
I could try and find a wired mouse/keyboard somewhere...but I can't believe my wired Apple keyboard isn't working with it ^_^
I'm surprised Apple think this wireless stuff is a good thing...I'm more surprised my wired keyboard won't connect...
It's an iMac 11,2 (I think - Whatever the late 2010 one was) and I'm running Snow Leopard.
Also - When's it safe to put the RAM back in? Or is it actually faulty and I need to get a replacement? How can I check?

Just to clarify, this is what I want/hope to do:
Backup my iMac using Time Machine (Complete)
Format the iMac to factory settings (Complete)
Reinstall Snow Leopard (Incomplete)
Restore some files and folders (Incomplete)
Maybe upgrade to Lion...if I'm in a good mood.
I'm mainly doing this because my hard drive stopped last week, and the hard drive fan sped up. I had to restart, went into safe mode and...I don't actually know what you're supposed to do in safe mode so I restart normally. The next day, I turned my iMac on and it had that bar below the logo as if it was booting in safe mode, the bar appeared to have stopped, so I turned the iMac off, and upon turning it back on, the bar was back, so I decided to leave it and it started fine. The next day, once again, the bar was there so I left it, but once it got to the desktop, Finder wouldn't load, I tried relaunching Finder a few times, then restarted the computer, if I remember correctly, it restarted and Finder wouldn't load again. I tried again, this time it wouldn't boot at all, I Googled it a bit and tried resetting the PRAM, SMC etc., then found that you can read what's happening when it's booting to safe mode, and many errors came up saying that some numbers were incorrect, after a few minutes, it said "Halting CPU" or something, and that's when it turned off. I then booted from the disc, and restored using the Time Machine backup. I wasn't pleased with the backup; some applications failed to load properly. I thought I might as well restore it and just copy a few files across, to save space and speed up the computer.
The many times I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard, it didn't work. I tried many things, and last night I decided to make a disc image or something to a USB stick. I don't think it was an image, because the tutorial I followed which worked didn't require that you create an image. After trying to install from the USB stick, it failed, I then removed a RAM stick, it finally worked! But my keyboard wouldn't connect...that's when I came to creatin this post, and I tried reinstalling again, it failed to reinstall, I tried removing the other RAM stick, still failed.
Last week wasn't the first time my hard drive suddenly stopped, it's happened a few times before, but the hard drive fan hasn't sped up upon the hard drive stopping, and it's also managed to start again and the computer to continue working a few seconds later. Maybe it is about time I take it to Apple...but my warranty's ran out so I'm not sure if they'll help me.
