Fan started randomly make excessive noise for minute or so. Not hot and not with many applications, etc.
13" Late 2013 macbook pro retina with Yosemite;2.6 GHz Intel Core i5. Problem started in the last week or so. It doesn't seem too warm and there are not a lot of applications open. I use a cover and it doesn't sound like dirty fan. Computer is working normally otherwise. Ideas?
Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos
Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on. -
my mac book pro is not "starting" it makes beeping noise when i turn it on, prior to this for half a day it was turning off after an hourr so.
It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

HT1338 Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.
Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.
Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

If there is no sound/music playing, computer starts to make white noise (unless muted). After sound/music starts, computer pops speakers/headphones (white noise stops). How can I fix this?
Hello Stacey,
What all devices do you have connected?
It sounds like a Ground loop... voltage leaking somewhere. -
MacBook Air - Bottom sheet of metal seems loose. It makes a noise when I put pressure on it, and the screw looks slightly misplaced.

Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

*Hi
I would like to know how to make the installer for my executable run the DAqcarddriver and runtime engine installer automatically
I would like to include run time engine and the drivers of my daqcard(AI16XE50),( and maybe Ni daq or anything else needed?) in order to make my application portable for other computers on OS win98 and winXP .
How can I do that
thank you in advance
OlivierOlivier,
What version of LabVIEW are you using to build your application? On a remote computer you should only need the drivers you are using and the Run-Time Engine. You can attach installers to LabVIEW 8 installers, but for previous versions you will have to add it by opening the installer configuration page, configuring your installer and then configure the Advanced properties. This will allow you to attach a EXE to the installer which you can run. Also depending on the version of LabVIEW will affect the OS version that you will be able to install the RTE on. LabVIEW 7.0 is the last version that can be installed on Windows 98.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and please include the version of LabVIEW you are using. Thanks!

TS1433 The fan on my new Mac is starting to make a noise.
i have new mac ,not the last one, after 8 month working, the fan make a noise :(( , when i shutdown and press the start button, everything good , somtimes fans make a noise :(( what can i do?
tanx,
help me
<Re-Titled By Host>Some of what you are writing is bogus.
> Do Not Open a bunch of Applications and try to work with several applications and work with them all at once.
Exactly why not? The Mac is supposed to be a professional machine - it has a robust multitasking system. If you have enough memory, you should be able to open quite a lot of applications at once.
Of course, if you run out of memory, you're going to start swapping to disk every time you switch applications, which will be slow. And of course, if you run multiple applications that are actually active at one time, you're going to run out of CPU power.
But you should be able to have quite a lot of applications open at one time without seeing any significant degradation in performance.
> Remember when ever you download ANY APPLICATION (Software) always restart your computer after the download it will then activate the new software and make it work properly.
That's completely ridiculous. Indeed, that's why I signed in to comment on this post.
Why should you *restart* your machine just because you downloaded an application? (Me: software developer for over 30 years, writing commercial, cross-platform applications that run on Mac, Windows, Linux... so I'm reasonable knowledgeable in this area...)
A few applications install something that requires a restart (very few in 2013). If your application needs this, it will tell you to restart.
You're not doing anyone any favors by spreading falsehoods. Please refrain from making claims like this in the future unless you have solid evidence. -
Fan above Processor makes whining noise in 3000 H 105 M/T-8823-5AQ
I am having 3000 H105 series Desktop M/T-8823-5AQ in which fan above the processor makes whining noise when i use any heavy software or play Games. Also at the same time the CPU usages will reach to 90% - 100%. Please help my friend told me there is a problem in fan. And it may affected the Processor. The processor present in my desktop is Intel(r) Pentium D.
Anyone's ideas are greatly appreciated and welcomed.This is not a problem, as the CPU fan varies its speed depending on the heat load of the processor, and one problem with variable fans is that they are quiter at low load and when it gets to high speed than the noise goes up exponentially, especially the OEM fan like yours. You may fix the problem by getting heat pipe design heat sinks from manufacturers such as ASUS, etc. These fans have a lower noise design large capacity fan, also the copper pipes have better heat transfer properties.
The pentium D processor use 2 pentium 4 CPU, so you can imagine the heat output of these processors, the large heat output from Pentium 4 is the major drawback of this design and premature abandonment by Intel for the far more energy efficient Core Duo and Core 2 Duo designs. If you are game enough you can try to poach a egg on specifically made heat sink on a Pentium D processor, which is not advisable. -
My iPod randomly makes a noise, its like an air compressor and water dripping? \
So the other day i was playing my iPod and then a noise started like an aircompressor and water leaking. Its so random just happens, either when playing games, listening to music or just when not doing anything.
Have made sure there are no open apps, but lost as to what to do now.Its so creepy, it's like its possessed... We havent had noise for 24hours since i rebooted, but my son is aware if it comes on again to come get me and going to record it. I was first heard when we were in the car the other day, and when he said air compressor, I thought it was the 4wd air compressor just too loud. Then he brought it to me yesterday and was really wierd. He wanted me to update the software on it but with the way i'm reading all this crashing happening, one problem is bad enough...lol

Satellite A300 - fan starts running every 2 mins for about 30 secs
Hi
I wanted to know if its normal that the fan starts running on my Satellite A300-1hv every 2 mins for about 30 secs?
This is happening continuously. I am on vista maximum performance power.
Help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.Yes, this is nothing unusual because the fan starts rotating if a certain temperature level was reached.
There is an temperature sensor and if the temperature goes to a higher level the cooling modules begins to cool the internal devices like CPU, GPU.
If the temperature decreases then the fan slows down.
It seems there is nothing wrong and you shouldnt be worried

Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal
Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
!!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
) Hit Del to get into Bios
2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
7) Hit f0 and save the config.
You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.
My Specs
A8n-sli premium (Bios -06)
amd X2 4400 (~2.5 GHZ)
4GB LL patriot memory (~228 HZ)
X-Fi Extreme Music
LSI 320-2e PCI express SCSI RAID controller (256MB buffer)
2x Seagate Cheata 5K.3?dri'ves
All water cooled
Good Luck
PapaH
By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.
