Fans racing unable to stop them.

My Imac G5 has suddenly started to have the fans racing at full speed or so it seems.
They continue non-stop and I can find no way of stopping them. Have tried powering off and leaving for 15 mins restarting but they start off again at full speed.
Activity monitor does not reveal anything wrong -all seems normal.
Anyone have ideas of how to stop this problem?

Hi ribbo39!
Here's what you did to fix your Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733 - this will usually solve some issues like sleep/wake cycles, some video and yes, the FANS... (-:

  • HT201303 Has anyone experienced being a victim of GNU Emacs Api Emulations hacking thru URL's - Feeds - Email - Redirect - Data Scrabling and more? We are unable to stop them because they are super users. They come back and do more damage. Help Please.

    We have been compromised within our businesses from an empolyee that was terminated with GNU Emac Api enulation program that has infiltrated all of our brand new Apple Computers. We made a decision to move to Mac's this year because of all our businesses being internet based and we are in several different platforms that require many different passcodes, email address, bank accounts, etc. It is not one seamless system that would address one email, password, bank account, etc.
    Eacy time we change one segment of our business unit to move to the next one to fix, we go back to check the previous one that we changed and they have already been in the accounts and changed them so that we have to redo them.
    The information is so broad and wide that the only way I know to ask this first questions - has anyone had this happen to them? We have seeked many avenues with law, experts, reformating our 2 momth old systems 2-3 times each and start over. They are the super users of this program and we can not get them out by changing passwords, accounts, etc. They have everything we do and make sure they keep changing it as we work on the next segment. They have cost our small business thousands of dollars already.
    I am a victim of something that even the local forenic authority is stumped because they don't know where to start. We are not a banking instutition or 100 million dollar company to get the help we need. We don't want to find hackers like they have done to us, we want to get them stopped and get us back on track to start getting our businesses rebuilt.
    Lots of stuff, but WE ARE BEGGING for HELP.
    Apple Support today spent 3 hours with us on the phone and our suppot representative was awesome, but they also said it was big and we need to reach out to the Apple community to see if they heard of anything like this crime. They are in the URL's, RSS Feeds and ghosting everything we do.
    I was told by our local Mac support that this was done by someone that was highly sophicated and they did not know many people that could do this type of damage. I can't image that someone in the Apple community would not know of someone that can assist. The one security company we contacted was around $25,000 to fix this aweful crime.
    We just want them stopped and put in jail so we can go back to business before it destoys us completely.  They even installed emacs on all of our Iphone and androids. WE are being taped, video recorded and eery key stroke is recored. They are only taking us down in middle America.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

  • My .jpg's have ALL suddenly been converted to .pdf's and I am unable to open them

    Using Windows 8.1, when I went to view some jpg's earlier today, I found they now show as "Adobe Acrobat Documents." When I try to open one, I get the error message that they are jpg's and Adobe is unable to open a jpg.???

    And it was easy -- once I went to "Properties" in Windows Explorer. That was the tough part -- finding where to make the change.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Display won't work and fans racing G5 and Apple display

    I have a G5 tower with an Apple display connected using a DVI to ADC adaptor.
    I have just moved house and now the display doen't power up. The computer starts up and plays its start sound but no life from the screen. The light in the start button on the display lights up when pressed, but goes out when the button is released.
    After a while, the fans in the tower unit start racing.
    Help!

    Hi, Fans racing is normal if no OS loads to handle them.
    I'd open it & carefully reseat the Video card for a start.

  • Can an error in battery cause a slow CPUS and the fan to run non-stop?

    tthe battery need serviced but my computer runs slow and the fan is running non-stop. MacBook Pro 13" purchased around 2011.

    OK, you really need to dump that Windows attitude quickly, because what worked over there is completely useless here.  I never understood the "upgrade didn't work obviously, because this or that happened, so how do I downgrade."  I hang out around here, and I haven't seen many comments about fans running full blast after the updates. I did them, and nothing happened.
    First, you can't downgrade the firmware EFI update.  I think if you tried, it would brick your MBP.
    You could reinstall Lion if you wanted, but that's really a pain, and once again, one of those Windows things that people always do that wastes time.  A security update and Remote Desktop Client (which only runs if you start it up) would not effect your fan speed.
    Apple does have "restore points", but it's a real backup system that requires a backup drive.  It's called Time Machine and it's preinstalled on your Mac, easy to use, and allows you to go as far back in time on your Mac as the size of your backup drive will allow.
    Now, after all that, let's try to figure out what's going on with your fans.  First, did you do the EFI update correctly?  Meaning did you do it when the MBP was actually plugged into the wall?  What are you running?  Games?  Videos?  Something else?

  • When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
    1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure.  This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
    2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have  to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
    3.  Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying. 
    OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
    Maybe I should think about a new computer.

  • Cisco Prime LMS system job - how do I stop them?

    Hello, I have run into a problem with system jobs.
    I noticed that our automatic backup stopped working and the reason is that two system jobs is in the running state.
    When I try to stop them I get this output:
    Error:
    Cannot stop job 1019.6718 because ERROR: Unable to suspend system jobs. Check log for more details.
    I could probably resolve this with a restart of the deamon manager, but frankly Im a bit frustrated with how often I  need to restart the application to solve an issue.
    Maybe someone know a way to stop a system job?
    BR /Crille

    Hi Crille,
    You can delete the this Job as below:
    1. Make note of the job ID's that you want to delete.
    2. Open a dos shell and go to NMSROOT    for e.g C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin
    3. Issue the command:
    cwjava -cw NMSROOT com.cisco.nm.cmf.jrm.jobcli
    replace above NMSROOT with actual root like C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx
    3. It will take you to the Job CLI mode
    4. Issue the command:
    delete 1019 (the job ID you want delete).
    5. Close all CiscoWorks browsers and issue the commands:
    net stop crmdmgtd
    net start crmdmgtd
    6. Wait 15 minutes and log back in to CiscoWorks
    Thanks-
    Afroz

  • MBP fans racing, causing instant cut-off - see temp data...

    My MacBook Pro has started performing a new trick. (And yes, this is after I updated to Leopard). Every so often it will go into a bout of the fan racing at full tilt and then - snap - power is cut. Nothing in the logs that I can see about this. Reboot and same will happen moments later. Then it stops doing it for a few days.
    I started running Hardware Monitor to catch temp readings when it next happened and...it's just started again. I was able to grab screenshots of the temp readouts before losing power. Check this:
    http://pix.blakespot.com/view/computers/screenshots/mbpheat_shutdowntemps.gif.html
    Obviously the GPU & GPU sink sensors are sending out-of-range data (-128 deg C!) and the system goes into "save my skin" mode.
    This is an out-of-warranty Core Duo-based MacBook Pro manufactured within the first 3 months on the market - an early unit.
    Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Could this be a Leopard thing?
    Thanks.
    blakespot

    My guess would be that you've had a sensor failure which is causing your issues. However, it is possible that it's a Leopard issue so to be sure that it isn't install Tiger onto and external and see if the problems go away when booted in Tiger.

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Is it possible to uninstall OS Mountain Lion and go back to OS Lion?  This upgrade has been a headache! Mail freezes, all contacts all gone and I am unable to import them again.  HELP?

    I recently downloaded and install OS Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Consequently none of the new mail features are available and everytime I attempt to check for new mail or send mail, the mail app freezes and has to be forced closed.  Also, all of my contacts are gone, and I am unable to import them back.  And I just discovered that all of my calendar items are missing too.  Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

    Thank you for the tip, Andreas. That is exactly what I did for my iPad, and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, when I try to set up my Gmail accounts in Mountain Lion using Exchange services, I receive the following error after putting in m.google.com in the server address field:
    The Exchange server "(null)" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    I know this works for iOS, but it seems like this will not work on Mac OS X.
    Any other suggestions? Thank you.

    Hello Anelda.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file.

    I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file. The thumbnails are white with a blue and white CR2 on them. Please help.

    Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is the latest for Photoshop CS4 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    The problem is that your new camera is supported by ACR 8.7 and only Photoshop CS6 and up supports this version.
    So if you do not want to buy CS6 or subscribe to the $10/month Photography Program, you have to convert the CR2 files to DNG to work on them. Your original CR2s are untouched in the process, you just can't directly edit them in CS4, only the DNGs.
    Maybe Canon offers editing software for their CR2s, but CS4 is not going to be updated and there is no way around that.
    It's not what you want to hear, but that's the situation so far.
    Maybe Elements or Lightroom has updated raw support for your camera, so I encourage you to visit those forums and ask.
