Fans start running noisily on using youtube on chrome/firefox

When i use chrome or firefox to view youtube videos, my macbook pro's fans start making a lot of noise. But when i use them on safari everything seems to work ok. Tha fans remain silent. Why is this happening??
I prefer chrome to safari that's why i am asking
Thanks a lot!

Also, do you hear sound in either one of these videos?

Here's a couple of additional posts that might help fix audio mixer issues if this ends up being more than just a Flash issue.

My iPad has started running slow when using YouTube how do I fix it?

When I play vids on YouTube it's started taking forever to buffer! Never had this problem before but tried few things like restoring iPad, turning it on and off and turning my Internet modem off. Can anyone help pleas?

I also have this problem and have search the support boards at apple and other websites. I have tried the suggestions and nothing so far has helped...changed DNS, tried YouTube using safari, rebooted my iPad..killed all apps, etc. I use iPad at my library and Internet here is great. I can't make changes to their routers as some sites have suggested. Funny thing is I end up using my Samsung Galaxy SII to view these same YouTube videos and it's lightening fast at my library...a little slower using my data plan but not by much. Wish I could use my iPad as the screen detail would be better but too slow, lags to the point of not even being fun. This is my 1st apple product and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth....from what I see posted on the boards this is a BIG problem for many, many users...can't even believe apple doesn't know about it and have an official solution!

Sattelite A200-1N9 fan starts running faster and become loud

Hi,
So i have strange problem. When my fan starts running faster he bocome so loud i can't work.
What is more strange when he bocome loud i can't start any new programs and programs already running freezes.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Sincerely

Hi
This happens because an process running in the background stresses the CPU up to 100% and this creates more heat dissipation and the fan kick on and runs faster to cool down the CPU. Additionally the CPU is locked and therefore the system freezes for some time.
You have to check what process or tool stresses the CPU.
You can start task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and check the tab Processes.
Here you can see in the CPU column what process use most of CPU performance.

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

MacBook Pro's fans start running at high speed when the computer is asleep. Normal?

The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?

This is not normal. See if a SMC reset solves the problem:

Could be over-heating. Try cleaning out the air vents.

Another problem: fan starts running nonstop and messages says to restart

I recently had my hard drive crash and with help from this forum, I was able to replace the hard drive myself last week. I upgraded to Leopard and all seemed well. Now this has happened 3 times: the fan starts running nonstop and loudly and the computer displays a message that I need to restart my computer. The first time it happened, I restarted and it was okay for a few minutes, then started up again, so I shut it down for the night. The next morning, I reset SMU and it worked all of yesterday with no problems until about midday today, when I heard the fan going again and the same message displayed. I currently have it shut down and unplugged to reset the SMU yet again, but am wondering if this is a symptom of more serious problems?
The power supply was replaced a little over a year ago at a local Apple store. Of course, my AppleCare ran out about a month ago. I was really hoping to get another year or two out of this machine with the new hard drive! When I verified the hard drive yesterday, Disk Utility said it was fine. Are there any other troubleshooting things I can do? Thanks for any help with this.

Thanks (once again) for the help! That's a great web site. So far I have run Apple Hardware Test and it says no problems. I verified the disk and it says it appears to be okay. I repaired disk permissions and it did find a couple that it repaired. There were also several SUID files it said would not be repaired, but I found an article that said these warnings can be ignored. I will keep my fingers crossed that the disk permissions repair will help. Otherwise, I will call Apple and see if they will do anything for me. It doesn't seem like it is the power supply again, I'm having totally different symptoms...but who knows? I don't think I will put any more money into this Mac. I would probably buy a new one, but I sure would like to delay it for a year or two, if possible. When it's working okay, this computer is still more than adequate for everything I do.

Fan starts running after 15 minutes very noisy. anyone with similar problems?

The fan starts after 15 to 20 minutes working with the MBair. Doe not stop. And it is quite noisy and disturbing. Anyone with a solution?

Believe me this is nothing unusual the F10 is a notebook with a strong GPU and CPU. These parts produce a lot of warmness and this must be cooled!
Please dont compare mobile notebooks fans with the Qosmio. The Qosmio notebook properties are similar to a desktop PC and in my eyes an desktop PC is much louder as the F10

MacBook always crashing, usually only using the internet (Chrome/Firefox/Safari)

Usually, when I'm using the notebook, it simply crashes, with no reason and most of the time I'm just using the internet (most of the time I'm doing this).
My macbook is a late '09 model.
It's kind of hard to explain and find the reason this happens, because it has no "trigger", eventually, it just slows down and stop responding for a good 8 minutes and then it slowly goes back to work. I tried reducing the number of apps runing at the same time, tried updating the software, tried cleaning the computer and whatever I found, but it still crashes even when I have only one tab with a wikipedia file open.
What is going on with the computer?
Also, the rubber base of the notebook is "jumping" out, I was using the notebook and heard a "flap" and there was the rubber out of it's place... What should I do to fix this? Any ideas?

MacBook Pro can't use Silverlight with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari

It's a relatively recent issue, within the last month or two, but I can't stream any videos on Netflix. Initially it was just an issue with Firefox, but now I can't use it at all with Chrome or Safari no matter how many times I install or uninstall the Silverlight plugin. My Macbook Pro will act like it's going to load the movie (black screen with blue dots in a circle) but then times out saying there's an error. I always get error code 2014 on the Netflix screen that says the issue is likely with Silverlight. I am able to successfully stream on my imac.
I've tried everything I can think of (I'm not very tech savvy so I'm SURE I've missed something). I've gone through my application and internet plug-in folders and deleted everything having to do with Silverlight. I've also emptied the trash before trying to redownload it. I've also tried deleting cached information and cookies from all of my browsers and messing with the preferences trying to make it possible to use.
I would really appreciate any help you can give.

I'm wondering whether you have any background software running that might be causing the problem, Sebastien?
Fax software, anything that adds its own devices to the menubar, etc, perhaps? "Content Barrier" and "Speedtools" are pieces of software that I have seen linked to this issue. Virus blockers generally might be worth considering as possible causes.
Can you think of anything that you have installed that might have created third party system extensions ("kexts") that could be interefering with the regular processes?
A clean OS install might really be the best solution, though it is time consuming of course.

First use of Photos: fan keeps running

In the few weeks that I've been using my iMac Retina I've never heard the fan. This morning I imported a photo from my iPhone 6 and after that I noticed that while the fan was running high, some iCloud xxx app/task was running in Activity Monitor. I've killed it, rebooted my iMac twice, but still the fan starts running high now and then.
What can I check more?

Hey Hans Elting,
This seems to be happening with a number of folks. Here is the link to that discussions.
high cpu usage all the time
The solution the had to use was to wait it out and it eventually stopped. How long has this been happening on your mac?

Satellite A110-180 - Fan starts but stops after few seconds

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-180 and when I turn on the computer the fan starts running but it stops in a few seconds and starts again in a while and stops again and starts..... Then the laptop gets heat quickly.
I bought the laptop around 5 years ago so I think that the problem is either the fan or the circuit that controls the fan. Can someone that has had the same problem make me sure that the fan is the problem?
The part number of the fan is ATZHG000500. Does anybody know if a fan with P/N ATZHG000100 is compatible with my laptop or if I can use other fan?
Thanks for your help,

Hi Boarder,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I already cleaned the fan 3 days ago because I thought that perhaps that was the reason of the fan running. I installed a program to control the hard drive and CPUs temperature and at the beginning when I turn on the laptop in the morning the temperature is ok, but when I look an email and surf by internet a little bit for 10 min the temperature increase in 10º or more in CPU and hard drive, and the fan is still running in the same way that I commented (in a discontinuous way). So I don't think that it's normal at least theoretically. I also have another laptop and the fan is running all the time.
I'll check about the thermal grease to see if the condition are fine.

I just replaced my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan is running and slowly gets louder and louder. how do i turn it off?

If your machine was made after 2009 you probably installed th wrong HD. Beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's that had an integrated fan sensor. If you did not use one of these drives then that is the problem. You should contact OWC (www.macsales.com) or visit your local AASP and they will help you select the correct HD to use.
