Fans won't stop with new processor

I just had one of my dual processors changed out. I brought it home and turned it on. The fans will not stop running. I called the tech and was told that this is normal for about an hour? That was yesterday and the fans still run. Any ideas?

The techs should have run a thermal recalibration on the fans when they changed the processor. Sounds like they didn't do that. Take it back to them and have them perform that step.
The fans shouldn't run any more after the service than they did before.

Fan won't stop running

Early 2008 27 inch iMac running latest version of Lion.
I had a hard drive that kept corrupting files (not the original HD, been replaced once by apple) so I replaced it with a new (ish) 1 Tb WD green. But after I did this my fan won't stop running. I thought I had disturbed the HD temp sensor so I opened it back up again and made sure it was properly on the HD closed it but still constant fan.
from istat pro I'm getting readings
HD 37
CPU 29
CPU heatsink 28
Airport Card 30
GPU heatsink 33
HD Bay 38
Mem Controller 29
Optical Drive 30
All my temp values are there, so I assume my sensors are fine. I don't have AHT as I don't have my original install disks (I lost them somewhere in the last 7 moves between houses) I already tried resetting the SMC.
Can anyone tell me if these readings are normal? Are any high that would be causing my fan to stay on?

Um, OK. I've just realized that the fan isn't running any more, and I've been using it for a couple of hours. I'm not sure if I should do anything else or just not look a gift horse in the mouth. Anyone have an opinion?

Fan won't stop on my iMac

I have a 2011 iMac (21.5") and the fan won't stop running at full blast. I've spoken with Applecare support, and done all the steps... Which were:
1) SMC reset - performed three times
2) PRAM reset
3) Left the computer off overnight
4) Checked activity monitor - Nothing is open, and the actual activity monitor was the process taking up the most CPU, which was only 2%.
5) My hard drive is nowhere NEAR full - I still have 400GB/500GB available.
The computer functions properly, but the fan is just going non-stop. What could the issue be? I will definitely have to bring this in to the genius bar, but this is my father's computer and he isn't available during business hours to take this in. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks for the help.

Try running the Extended Apple Hardware Test to see if it has a hardware (thermal sensor or SMC) problem. It won't fix the problem, but it may help you understand and guide the service tech to the problem.

Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
Thanks.

You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

Elements 13 won't work with new camera, it won't update to raw 8.7.1

Elements 13 won't work with new camera, it won't update to raw 8.7.1. I have downloaded the patch, it is installed but the old version is this there in elements. Thanks, esther

OK I think the problem is probably related to the platform swap and you may need your account re-set. Only Adobe staff can do that. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number and previous case number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either. Is my ipad defective? Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0? Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4. Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0. Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

My cooling fan won't stop kicking in on Mac Pro

Suddenly in the last week or so my cooling fan started kicking in while over the past 2+ years it has only run once or twice - now it won't stop!
I thought that it may have been due to an increase in RAM from 7G to 24G (3, 8G matched sticks) but after un-installing the 24G it was still running frequently, though not as much.
I have performed (in order) both a PRAM and SMC reset. I have also repaired all discs, reset permissions and dumped render files (I primarily use my Mac for video editing in FCP X).
I am fearing now that this may in fact be due to recent updates to Lion (10.7.3) or FCP X (10.0.3)
In an attempt to get FCP X to run better (there are many bugs in the latest update as evidenced by numerous posts in that discussion area) I also contacted NVIDIA for updates to my graphics card and was told by them that it is not compatible with Lion. I now have a Radeon card on order from the Apple store.
Any other advice?? This fan is not only an annoyance for me but as I also record voice-overs for my clients I simply cannot have it running all the time.

> I am fearing now that this may in fact be due to recent updates to Lion (10.7.3) or FCP X (10.0.3)
Only if the RAM is "defective" or "boarderline" would a new OS trigger an issue. But then someone else jumped to same conclusion when they upgraded to Lion recently and had been running Snow Leopard for awhile.
Every new OS brings some changes and some RAM will fail and fall to the wayside but the only way to know is trial and error; to get the vendor to replace and test.
Sometimes the RAM has been loosely seated. Sometimes the OS seems to be potential culprit (doesn't happen with clean install).
A USB or Firewire cable can be enough, too, even if just plugged and not attached to a powered on device.
You can even try two 8GB DIMMs and leave one out and see if process of elimination is of any value, or even boot wtih just a single DIMM. You don't need to have two or more.
But I would not mix 8GB with others, sounds like you had 3 x 2GB + 1GB, or 3 x 1GB + 4GB which would look and sound to be more iffy than your new set.
Btw, where did you get new set?

Re-formatted hard drive, now I-Pod won't sync with new itunes

So, I transferred all my music via a flash drive and then reinstalled them into i-tunes (per the directions on i-tunes) once we re-formatted our computer. All the songs show up in tunes, except now when I buy music, it won't sync with my i-pod. It's an ancient i-pod (click wheel) but other than that it works fine. Any help?

Hello darkerstill,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you re-authorized your computer? To do this, head to the Store drop down menu and choose "Authorize Computer." Then enter in your account credentials to authorize the account.
If you have already done that, have you restored the iPod via iTunes yet? If you haven't, you will not allowed to sync new music until you have done so because your iPod is still associating itself with your old library that was wiped out.
Here are instructions on how to restore your iPod if need be.

Fans won't stop?

I recently changed the hard drive in my iMac. All went fine but now the fans will not stop blowing. They start about 10mins after restarting even though I am barely using the machine.
I checked the forums and have done the Resetting the SMC thing but it did not stop the fans blowing. wondering if anyone has any other suggestions?
thanks

Unfortunately, those of us with 2011 iMacs are stuck with the hard drive replacement issue. Instead of insulting you with a warranty comment, see this article for some options: http://www.macworld.com/article/159956/2011/05/imacharddriveupgrade.html

13" macbook fan won't stop

Im running 10.7.5 on a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo 13" MacBook. Sometimes, the fan will not stop spinning. It'll increase and decrease speed, but when it gets going, it usually runs full tilt. The only things running are Safari, iTunes and mail. What could be causing this?

Hi Jorge A. Narvaez!
I have two articles for you that may help enlighten you a little about the fans on your MacBook:

New Power Supply, Now Fans Won't Stop Running

Good evening.
About a week ago, my G5 went dead - no power at all. An Apple certified tech that I know came to my house yesterday to replace the power supply with one (600W version) that I ordered.
That got me up and running, but ever since then, ALL my fans have been running at high speeds nonstop. I looked to see if there is a firmware update and tried resetting the CUDA again - same results. Tried setting processor speed to reduced, even tried it on highest - same result. Only way I can get them to stop is to to the computer to sleep or shut it off. The fans were never like this before. Any ideas? This is quite bothersome. Thanks for your time.

Hi eightfifteen-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
I would agree with samsara that the thermal calibration should be performed. It is also quite possible that a thermal sensor was somehow left disconnected and is causing one or two particular fans to spin out of control.
The tech that you know should have performed the calibration while checking to ensure that your system was operating correctly. Have the tech come back with the proper software tools and do not let this person leave until it is demonstrated to you that your system is working correctly.

Bluetooth Dongle Stopped Working - Now Keyboard Won't Pair With New Dongles

Hi All,
If anyone can shed some light on this I would be massively grateful.
I've been using an old dlink usb bluetooth adapter with my 2007 8 core Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.2. This had been working with my old style bluetooth mac keyboard (the white one with the number panel).
Recently the dongle stopped working (the lights went out and it wouldn't come back to life). I've bought 2 new dongles (HK-760 USB 2.0 & Belkin Mini Bluetooth Adapter) and neither of these seem to connect to the keyboard in Bluetooth Setup Assistant. I get this message: 'The pairing attempt was unsuccesful. This configuraton of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported.'
I took the keyboard to the Mac Store and it connected to an iMac there, so figure it's not the keyboard.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Update: I tried to link the keyboard to my old G3 which it used to work with no problems an it took ages to link up and then on restart wouldn't link up. I'm thinking it might be a faulty old keyboard that died of a broken heart when the bluetooth dongle passed away. Poor thing

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

Won't boot with new graphics card

Hi. I have a Pavilion P7-1058uk with a Cleveland-GL8 motherboard and onboard graphics.
I bought a new monitor which has 2560x1440 resolution, greather than the onboard graphics can cope with, so have tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte GT630 card.
When I startup, I now get to the blue HP screen but no further. If I startup with F10 or ESC pressed, I get to a black screen instead. Either way, I am invited to press Esc to enter startup but pressing the key has no impact and the computer just hangs. There is a repeated cycle of very quiet clicks which sounds like the HDD drive trying to start then stopping
If I remove the graphics card and connect the monitor back to the onboard graphics then all is well again (but restricted to 1920x1080 resolution).
Perhaps stupidly I assumed it was an issue with the power supply (300W) and not enough residual oomph to run the HDD. But having upgraded that to 650W it makes no difference. I also tried downloading NVidia drivers but it won't let me install them because I can only get the computer to work without the graphics card, and Nvidia won't install because it can't detect the hardware.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

OK thanks. This card doesnt require a six pin connector but it is interesting that your comment implies that those that do still take power from the motherboard but topped up with the six pin connector. As opposed to taking all power from the six pin connector and nothing from the motherboard. I am not making a statement that equates to your analogy. All cards plugged into a motherboard I/O internal slot are powered by the motherboards power distribution subsystem.
One last question - should I have uninstalled the graphics driver for the integrated graphics or is that unnecessary? I have read that the motherboard turns the integrated graphics off when it detects a dedicated card. I have not done so and am a little wary of uninstalling the existing driver in case things still dont work and it gets tricky to revert back to where I am now.
Andrew
No. You won't need to uninstall the driver for the integrated graphics. The OS will only load the driver for the graphics card when one is installed.
