Fan's going all out, help!!

I've been playing TuxKart r1682 on my MacBook 2.4Ghz. and the fan goes full speed after a few minutes of play. Anyone knows why? Is this a permanent change in the computer or will it go away by simply deleting this game?

It most likely is the game. I play chess, and that fairly winds up the Fans also. But be sure the Comp. is on a level surface, using it, on a bed, or some other soft surface, can cause overheating. Do the fans go back to normal, when you stop playing the game? If so, don't worry about it, but if that persists, then you need to have it checked out. Good luck.

  • Fans rpm going all or nothing

    I have a weird problem in my macbook pro 17"
    The fans start out at 2000 rpm, which is as it should be,
    Then after some time they go 6000 rpm in one go.
    Then they lower again to 2000.
    it seems as if there is no inbetween for them, all temps look ok, nothing is hot, no processes going nuts.
    This also happens when I am at the Boot selection and OSX is not even loaded.
    Things I did:
    Install iStat pro to check the rpm and temps, all temps look okay
    Checked for out of controll processes on all users, nothing wrong
    Checked if it happens on all users > thats a yes
    Checked if I can manually set fans rpm at 3500 > thats a yes! (so technically it can do it)
    Reset the SMC, no difference
    Ran a log over a long period of time of temperatures, no relation found and no exessive temps
    One thing I do notice is that I see the battery usage go down a lot when the fans ramp up, this leads me to believe that something does happen and the mac reacts to that.
    I just do not see anything to make the same conclusion as the mac
    I am at a loss here, The mac seems to read all temperatures fine, it can technically controll the fans to all speeds but it doesn't do that in use.
    It starts at 2000 and then all of the sudden it will make the fans go to 6000.
    Then drop to 2000 to go a little later again to 6000.
    Does anyone have any tip for me?

    Found in the service manual that the TsoP sensor is the one on the Topcase.
    a shame that istat pro does not show that sensor, does anyone know how I can see what that sensor is doing?
    And does anyone know where it is mounted?
    I cannot afford a completely new TopCase, so I am hoping to find the cheapest way for me to get this fixed. Hope I can find someone that has a topcase lying around or something smiles

  • I have no way to return to previous page without going completely out of firefox - can you help with this?

    I start with the home page of a site. Then go to one of the other pages on the same site. I find no way to return to the home page without going completely out of firefox and having to start all over again. In other words the "back" arrow is gray and does not work to get me back to the original home page. Can you help with this?

    Try double clicking on the Back arrow. If you click on it and hold it pressed, it should give you a drop down list of the previous pages. You can also achieve that by right click on the Back arrow. But if you do a single, quick click on it, it should take you back.

  • After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted PLEASE HELP!!

    Hello people,
    After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted!! Using Logic Pro 8.
    This happens especially if I crank the speakers semi-loud. This is not a problem with the speakers as Itunes plays perfectly. I have no idea why this is happening! The problem disappears when I restart Logic only to reappear again 5 minutes later.
    The sound goes super grainy and I cant really make out anything. Is Logic overloading the sound card or something? Although this never happened before and it is a Tascam US-144, usually very good.
    If anyone knows why this is happening I'd really appreciate some help.
    Thank you, all the best!!
    Tristan

    Hello and thank you for your time! The speakers I do believe are active in that they have their own power source. They are Behringer MS40's. The headphones indeed also suffer the graininess, any sound that comes out of the sound card via Logic!
    At the moment the buffer is at maximum of 1024 with a large Process Buffer Range as it runs more smoothly this way. Does it help if I change this? Is there any other settings I can try changing which may realistically fix the problem? Unfortunately the technical side is not my forte, being a songwriter rather than a producer.
    Yes Itunes also plays via the Tascam with perfect results!
    Unfortunately, this distorted sound and graininess happens with every Logic project, the more Audio tracks it seems, the more frequently.
    You have been very kind, thank you. If you have any ideas of how I can fix this then please do let me know.
    PS. Something I noticed is that this started happening after some guy screamed into the Mic for a laugh whilst recording and the project instantly crashed. I do believe there is a connection between the Audio tracks and the grainiess rather than the MIDI tracks.
    Sometimes I can get a good 15/20 minutes of working time before the sound becomes distorted again! Which is what I've been doing these past 2 days.
    All the best,
    Tristan

    That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.

    Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

  • How to reduce CPU fan sound....help!!! help!

    Hello my friends!
    I got my new Computer just before christmas.
    But I dont like the screaming sound the CPU fan makes.
    I have installed the corecenter and put it into auto and the sound increased a little.....but its still annoying.
    I should be able to use different modes in corecell but I can figure how.....MSI talks about " BUZZFREE" & "LIFEPRO" & "POWERPRO" & "SPEEDSTER".....What is this and how do I Enable them.....Cant find them in corecenter.....
    The only thing I find is Auto and manual.
    Anyvone who can recomend a Good and silent fan for my CPU  what should i be buying.......Please help me.
    And how hot may the cpu reach.....how hot can it be.....what temperature should I try to run it on....
    MY SYSTEM:
    CPU 3.0 Ghz P4 + standard Fan
    Motherboard : MSI 865PE Neo2-LS Vers 1.1 + Bios 1.9
    Grafic: Hercules 9800 Pro 128 MB + Catalyst 3.10
    Chase: Antec Sonata 380W + 120mm fan (Low speed)
    Best regards
    Mr Lithesteel

    Those other options you mentioned have nothing to do with how quiet your CPU Fan is Going to Be (By the Way why, what type of Heatsink Fan are you using)? and under Core-Center, You can Manually set the speed of Both the CPU and NB Fans by Selecting "User Mode" in the Fan Options UI,There you can choose up to 7 different speed settings.....And If you plan on Overclocking your FSB on your PC, you should be very careful on how low you set the CPU Fan, as It can and will get hot if you are using the "Stock" Intel Thermal Solution......If you want Great Cooling capability and a Quiet Fan, you should consider some of the Aftermarket Units for sale out there, I happen to have on all 3 of my systems (and Love) the Zalman 7000 AlCu heatsink fan unit, it is Big 96mm fan but Quiet, even at Full speed, and it is a Variable Speed (hardware and software adjustable) as at 100% speed, it only has to spin at 2,700 RPM'S, where the Stock Intel Unit spins at Close to 5,000 RPM'S, and with the Zalman you maintain about a -12 Degree C Delta in cooling capability over the Stock Intel unit.............................Sean REILLY875

  • 1 hour clip in time-line goes gradually out of sync

    Hello,
    I captured a one hour mini-DV tape to a G4 Powerbook as one clip in FCP 4.5. As it plays in the timeline, it gradually goes out of sync and eventually goes way out of sync. Why would this happen? The tape itself plays fine in the camera and as it was captured it appeared to be in in sync all the way through. Thanks.
    Jonathan

    Mini dv does not lock the audio to the picture, so over a period of time you'll get sync drift. Check to see that your sequence settings for audio match the camera's. FCP defaults at 48k. if you shot at 32k (12 bit), than on a long capture your audio will drift out of sync. You can create a sequence that is 32k, that might help but it looks like you'll have to move the audio track possibly in sections to get it back into sync.

  • SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP

    SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP:Yesterday i replaced my SB X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional Serier 7. Sound Card which was working perfectly fine with the new Titanium HD, i did a fresh install of Windows 7 and deleted my partitions so started completely from scratch. Installed the drivers that it came with, had no sound at all. Updated the sound driver to the latest one 3.00.004 and still no sound. I'm using the optical cable for 5. as i have no choice so i thought as i wasn't using opitical before maybe it doesn't work but then when i uninstalled the creative drivers windows installed it's own driver and i all of a sudden had sound, but it must have been using the onboard sound on my motherboard. Then i tried installing the latest Creative driver first instead of the one from the CD provided and still no sound. I spent 6 hours trying everything i could think of, on Creative's website it mentioned trying to change the frequenzy sampling rate to match your speakers, well i went through all of them in the settings?and still no sound. I've even taken the sound card out and reinstalled it again, still no sound. I'm really lost and could appreciate some help. Do you think the sound card could be faulty?
    In device Manager the sound card shows up so it is being reconised, also on the opitical at the back of the card it glows a red colour.
    The specs of my machine are:
    Windows 7 Home Premium (orignal not a copy!)
    Gigabyte P67A-UD7
    Intel i7 2600k 3.40Ghz
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR PC3-5000C9 866Mhz
    ATI Radeon 6970
    Also i've updated Windows 7, but to be honest i had no sound before the updates and no sound after installing all the updates and uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling them. I feel like i'm a beaten man and it's so annoying, any advice PLEASE?

    Please ignore my post, sooooo embarrassing, user error (hands up). Nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
    As i didn't have to do this before when i was using my Fatalty card without using optical i honestly didn't give it a second thought but i had to go to the encoder settings from the creative audio software and change to Dolby or DTS, it was switched off so i chose Dolby at first and then my Logictech Z5500 5.1 LCD Panel changed to the Dolby sign and then there was light (sound). I felt very stupid indeed.
    However it would have been REALLY helpful if i could have spoken to someone in person, it took me 6 hours before another kind poster from another website told me where i was going wrong, Creative really need to have a technical support phone line as their knowledge base is VERY limited!

  • Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

    I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
    They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
    The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
    I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

    This is highly annoying.
    I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
    On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
    I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
    In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
    Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
    I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
    I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
    Ugh....

  • My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

    My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
    I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
    When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
    I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
    The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
    My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My fan is on all the time - possible overheating; software cause?

    I’ve got a 17” G4 powerbook running Panther (OS10.3.9). It has been doing great but lately I’m noticing that the fan is running all the time. The thing sits on one of those aluminum wedge-shaped platforms (for max. air flow) on my desk and the room isn’t very hot. I have a temp monitor running on it and it says 52 C, even though the machine isn’t doing anything computational. I’ve also gotten one warning from the SMART sensor on the internal drive about a possible future failure due to high heat. I do know that my disk space is running low (2 Gigs when I boot up, which slowly disappears as I work). Is there anything software-related that can be the cause of this or do I definitely need to send it to a repair shop? If the latter, then where do I send it? My AppleCare is surely expired now… Is an Apple store my best bet, or an independent repair place, or what?

    I have a very similar problem. My G4 has been running great since I picked it up in January. But, in the last couple days my fan has been running real loud and the machine in general has been hot. Today was watching some youtube and my machine started to freeze up all togeather (a problem I've never had before) as the fan started sound extra loud. As I tried to power down my machine the fan started to make a more grinding type of sound and cause my whole laptop to vibrate. I just really want to know the best coarse of action here. Should I take my mahine to my mac people and have them replace the fan? Is this a common problem? What is this a cronic problem that is a symtom of somthing more ominoius?
    Thanks for you're help!!!

  • Fans keep going while the Mac is in sleep mode.

    Hello everyone,
    After installing Mavericks, I noticed that my Macbook Pro's fans keep going without stopping after i put the Mac in Sleep mode, closing the screen or by the Finder options. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    Hi Rathz,
    If you are having unusual fan behavior on your MacBook Pro, you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). You may find the following article helpful:
