Fans not working on new MBP

My 13" MBP is 3 months old and I use it rarely for weekend trips.
Today it white screened & crashed twice. Temperature gauge said it was running avg 95 centigrade and showed RPM at 2600 which I assume is fan speed. But I couldn't hear them.
Then launched SMC Fan app and it showed similar temp but fan RPM at 00.00
Adjusting the fan speed did nothing.
Doing a SMC fan reset did nothing.
I'm running off an external Lion drive. The MBP came with ML on its internal drive.
I want to test how it runs booted off the internal drive when I get home from dinner.
But any thoughts?
Thanks
Steven

Unless I'm missing your point, if I'm on the road, I can't have my Mac Pro with me to plug into my MBP. If I could, I wouldn't need my MBP.
I don't think you get the scenario, no offense.
I work all day on my MP.
I have plans to be out of town for the next week.
I use SuperDuper! to create a mirror BU of my MP to my Seagate ext drive. Then shut down my MP.
Now my MP and my ext. Seagate drive are identical.
I leave for my trip and on arrival, I plug my Seagate into my MBP and launch with the Option key down and boot off the Seagate drive and thus at this point I'm "as if" on my MP in NY. However, for some reason, doing this blocks the MBP fans from running so I can only run off my Seagate drive for 15ish minutes before my MBP heats up too much and much shut down.
I can reboot off my MBP internal drive and with my MP mirror drive accessible. I can therethore access all my documents EXCEPT my AppleMail since I am not booting up off my Ext Seagate drive with the latest AppleMail inbox and other data.
All my mail BTW is POP and not IMAP. If IMAP then this would be much easier. But I've been using POP for so many years and have umteen saved folders of mail on the left column on my hard drive as opposed on my server.
I would like to update from POP to IMAP but this is a big job moving all my drive saved mail up to a server. But if I could do it, then I could reach this mail from my MBP, MP, iPad or iPhone.
Mail is the one hang up in the system I have currently. As I can also use DropBox to work with current documents I need to edit and work with.
Do you nsee the situation better now?
Best

  • Sandisk extreme firewire reader not working on new MBP models(unibody))

    hey all,
    so I have the sandisk extreme firewire CF reader since 2008. It works great on my 15" Macbook Pro2.2 (C2D 2.16ghz)
    Recently(actually in march) I purchased the new thunderbolt 15" MacbookPro(2.2GHz).
    At first the firewire card reader works fine on the new MBP. But somehow in May it stopped working(running SL). The CF card wouldnt mount, in System Profile it wouldn't even display the device. Even after I installed Lion it still wouldnt work. The only way for it to work is to daisychain it onto a firewire external harddrive and hook it up to the macbookpro.
    It's super weird. I've contacted sandisk's web support(WHAT?! only web support but no phone, for such a big company?!), they said it was use the card-reader was due to power issues and told me to contact Apple to resolve the issue.
    I later on tried the card reader on numberious mac's. Turns out that most Unibody machines wont work with it.(the weird thing is, when i just got my Thunderbolt unibody, it worked perfectly fine, for a while) But back on my old Macbook Pro2,2 from 2007(which is currently running OSX 10.6.8), it's works like a champ.(going to install 10.7 Lion and see how it goes)
    And at the meantime I donno whether it's the card readers issue or not?(sandisk wouldnt replace the thing for me)
    So anyone got any experience or insight of the situation?
    thanks
    PS.
    To make things worse, Sandisk discontinued the extreme firewire reader,(they do have the expresscard reader, but the new 15" dont have a expresscard slot)
    So now we're left with those stupid slow USB2.0 card readers while the size and the speed of those flash memory cards are getting faster and bigger each day.

    I'm pretty much giving up on this issue.
    I just found a very rare new lexar fw800 reader online for $80. Hope it works.
    fun fact: the SanDisk fw card reader works on the MacPros,new MacMini's/server, even the thunderbolt display w/ the fw800.

  • Power nap not working on new MBP

    I got the newest 15" MBP and I'm trying to get power nap to work, but as far as I can tell, it does not work yet.
    I enabled power nap both when the laptop is connected to power and on battery, but every morning when I look in iTunes, my podcasts have not been updated since last time i closed the lid.
    I also tried to start downloading a podcast and close the lid, and when I open it again, the podcast has not progressed in the downloading.
    Anyone knows why this is not working and how I solve this problem?

    I see thats actually true :S
    I was 100% sure i read that podcasts would update as well when power nap was launched...
    Anyways, that is kind of weird to me that podcasts are not updating, but I guess I have to live with this as an iSheep.
    Really strange that this was not prioritized but instead a watch where you can send smilies and draw hearts was prioritized..
    Thx for the reply anyways.

  • Multi-touch trackpad not working on new MBP

    I know I've seen this listed elsewhere, but I have something to add to the conversation.
    My MBP does not seem to recognize the Advanced trackpad functionality.
    I go into the System Preferences and first, the Keyboard/Mouse option takes a long time to load, and then the advanced features show up without a checkbox next to them. I've gone into iPhoto and tried the pinch-zoom and it doesn't work.
    Could this be due to the fact that I used Migration Assistant from an older model MBP? Wouldn't it have brought over my System Prefs as well?
    Just trying to get this figured out.
    topher

    I presume you are still able to use the trackpad but without the advanced features. I've been searching for the possibly simpler options to try. One of these is to remove any preferences relating to the trackpad from the Libraries which store these. What should happen if you do this is that the system will recreate these files and enable standard usage of the relevant software/hardware if the software/hardware is in good order.
    You can also check System Profiler to make sure that it is detecting your keyboard/Trackpad.
    I've located several files that might affect your situation. Moving the preferences out doesn't worry me very much but I'm not sure what will happen if you move a +preference pane+ out. There is a pp that relates to keyboard/trackpad in /system/library/preferencepanes/.
    Preferences that you can remove fairly safely are:
    /users/(yourusername)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    I don't know what settings this will remove but it might free up system preferences to allow the advanced features to be set.
    Beyond this the only suggestion I can make is that you do an 'archive and instal' of the system to get a brand new system running.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • Line-in not working with new driv

    Has anyone else had issues with the line-in jack not working with new drivers? Is there a way to get it to work??Very frustrated. Is there a link to the beta drivers, they worked better for me then the new one.

    The line input on the mini requires a 'line-level' signal, so the only microphones that work are ones that have an amplified output. Standard mics don't generate enough voltage to drive the mini's amplifiers.
    That's the reason the mics work with the Griffin device (it has an amplifier) but not the mini directly.
