Hot Computer fan not running

I have a new Mac Pro, it seems to be very hot and the fan is not running. I also went to plug in my printer (printer was not on) into one of the USB ports on the back and it sparked.
How hot should my computer be before the fan works? I have yet to see or hear the fan working.
What is up with the sparks?

Do we talk about °C or °F...?
If your room is about 80° I hope (for you) it's °F
But if it's °F than it is impossible that your computer is about 37°... this would be colder than a refrigerator
Check the "Ambient" temperature... this is your room temperature at the place your computer stands.
You should take care that the computer has enough space to "breath". especially at the backside. It takes the cold air from the front and blows the hot air out the back. If it stands right in front of a wall, the computer is maybe not able to get rid of the hot air. This could heat up the whole case.

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Computer will not run iDVD at all

My computer will not run iDVD at all. I try to start the application, and it bounces twice in the applications bar and disappears. I have tried to re-install it using the iLife '08 Install CD, but although the CD allows me to install the old themes, it does not allow me to install the iDVD application itself (yes, there is enough space). I have tried opening an iDVD file and exporting an iMovie to the iDVD application, but in neither of these cases will iDVD start up.
Recently my iMovie HD application broke and so I used the iLife '06 install CD to get it working again. That custom install on that CD did not allow me to uncheck iDVD; hence, it is possible that iDVD '06 was installed over '08. Maybe this has messed up iLife '08 so it can't install the newest version over it? I am not sure, and definitely need some guidance here.

I've had the exact same problem on my Powerbook G4. I did a clean install of Leopard, installed iLife '08 and after that iMovie HD '06. I couldn't uncheck iDVD either when installing iMovie '06. I solved it "the hard way" : uninstall iDVD with e.g. Cleanapp (http://www.synium.de/products/cleanapp/index.html), and then install iDVD again (just check iDVD in the list). And it works ...
Apple should work on this: hundreds of people have the same problem (just look at all the posts in the forum and on google). I tried the Apple solution (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306290-nl), but it didn't work at all.
Hope this gets you up and running again.

HP Envy 15" TouchScreen Power LED shows up, but fans not running and screen does not come on

Hello there!
I am a 1A Software Engineering student at University of Waterloo, and I am running into a very serious problem with my HP Envy 15" TouchSmart laptop running Windows 8.1. This is a problem that just started today, and I would rather get some support from here first before I go see the technical support office sometime tomorrow; it has to do with the screen and fans where the Power LED lights up white, just as when the laptop is running properly.
(I do have warranty on the laptop since it was bought last June, except that if I find out I need to get a replacement, I'll lose all of my work I've been doing on it ever since I started my semester. It's so ridiculous of me to not have all of my work saved on a backup, as I do have an external hard drive. Trouble is, I got way too many problems in getting myself organized, I am not being open-minded as I should, and worst, I am not finding a balance between homework and life.)
Before I had my MATH 117 (Calculus 1 for Engineering) lecture, I was in a lab nearby where my laptop was opened and turned on, functioning properly. I had NetBeans IDE running since I wanted to work on the second part of my current CS 137 (Programming Principles) assignment. Because it was almost time for my lecture, I closed the laptop by simply moving the screen back down onto the keyboard, where it goes into sleep mode. (Anytime I flip up the screen, the laptop is supposed to come back on, and the login sliding screen from Windows 8.1 shows up.)
When I took my seat for the lecture, I wanted to spend a little bit of time to work on my programming assignment. However, upon flipping the screen back up, instead of having the login screen show up, I encountered the problem: the Power LED is showing a white light, but I can't hear the fans running from the vents on the left side of the laptop, and the screen does not turn on. I did try to hold the power button for several seconds, and once at least 10 seconds, except that the Power LED keeps on showing a white light. The light for the Wi-Fi board does not show up.
Whatever it is, I don't want to pull the battery out because I did do that on my last laptop, and it was from there that I couldn't turn the old one back on again. If I pull the battery out from the Envy laptop, it'll short-circuit the connections from the battery to the computer, and thus several components will fry. For now, what I'm doing is leaving the laptop as is to drain the charge on the battery. And then, once I notice that the Power LED does not show a white light anymore, plug the AC adapter, then try turning the laptop back on using the Power Button.
It's going to take a little while for the circuit to drain the charge on my battery though...
Anyway, would you please be so kind as to help me out with this issue? I would really appreciate it if you can give me several recommendations. Thank you!

Older macbook pro is heating up fan not running?

My older macbook pro is heating up. I believe the fan is not running?
Thanks

First, I recommend you to reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If it doesn't work, I would start thinking about a hardware problem. To confirm this, insert the “Mac OS X Install Disc 1” that came with the Mac, hold the D key while your Mac is starting to start Apple Hardware Test and run an extended test. If you get an error at the end of the text, copy it here. You will have to take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get the Mac repaired

Fan not running Archlinux U410

Hello,
I installed Archlinux on my U410, everything works fine, but the fans don't seem running:
# acpi -c
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 4: LCD 0 of 15
# acpitool -f
Fan : not available
but I couldn't find how to control them, since /proc/acpi/fan/ or similar don't exist and I couldn't find anything that helps me.
Is there an other way? If you need additional information about my system and/or configuration, I'm happy to post them here.
best regards

Hi
In many laptops, the fan is not detected as it does in desktop and hence you can't monitor it. If it doesn't show, it's not necessary that it isn't working. You can always check by keeping a hand on the fan vent and see the temperatures of your laptop's processor.
One thing to add, if the fan doesn't work, then the computer only works for a very short period of time.
There is also a program called Speedfan which can monitor the fan. Though.i am not 100% sure if it would give correct readings. You can use MSI afterburner for monitoring fan movements and controlling it.
To conclude i would like to say that these all things depend on a blue wire attached with the fan socket. If your laptop does not have it, then the above may not work.

Azure Compute Nodes not running the job

I have an on-premise head node. I have joined 10 Azure Compute Nodes via the cloud service and storage account. I have uploaded the dlls directory to storage account and synced using hpcsync all the compute nodes. The Azure compute nodes are still not
running the job. I see in the HPC Job Manager that the Cores In Use = 0. How should I resolve this issue?

Hello,
We are researching on the query and would get back to you soon on this.
I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your time and patience in this matter.

Fans not running

My early 2006 MBP has been running hot according iStat Pro. The CPU will get up to 160° to 170° F and neither of the fans go on. I'm using a dual-fan cooling pad ac powered and it still gets hot. When I set up a small clip-on utility fan to blow on the backside of the MBP it cools back down to about 105° to 112° F. But the internal fans never go on. I guess my question is, can I go somewhere in Utilities and check the status of the fans or the fans sensors?

Any idea what that means? I couldn't find any listing at Apple's Support showing error codes. That same error came up from the fast check and the extended test. I will make a appointment with a Genius Bar and see what I can find out. I sure hope it's nothing more than a fan.
That is the error code for a fan, so I guess that's "good" news.

Cooling fan not running

The fan isn't running so the emac is getting a bit warm.
I've given the fan 12 volts and it runs.
Are there any software settings I should be looking at?
If there is a hardware fault, is there a problem with running a 12V supply direct to the fan?
I don't really want to get any deeper into the entrails.

Did this start after the logic board replacement? If so, you should visit the shop and let them know they failed to connect something.
As far as I know, the PPC desktop Macs do not have a user-changeable software fan control. There are probably some third-party utilities that might to it.
We have two eMacs--one 1Gen 700mhz and one 2Gen 1.42Ghz representing the first and last models--and neither seem to adjust fan speed during operation, suggesting that they do not have a temp controlled fan like the PowerBook G4 notebooks.

While upgrading from OS 10.4.1.1 to Leopard, I get a message that I can't upgrade because my computer is not running OS 10.4 which I clearly am. What's the problem?

I purchased a Mac OS X Leopard on Amazon to upgrade my 2006 Apple iMac. After inserting the CPU Drop-in DVD, and clicking the Leopard OS 10.5 installation icon, I get a message that the upgrade cannot happen because the upgrade installer cannot find OS 10.4 or later on my computer. My system profiler indicates that my iMac is running OS 10.4.1.1. What is the problem?

I came upon the solution in another discussion thread. The solution is to simply wait 8 to 10 minutes on the language selection dialog box allow the install program time to find my OS 10.4.1.1.. I then clicked on "Continue" and the install proceeded without any problems. I know am running Leopard OS 10.5.8., So far with no cliches..."knock on wood". Thanks to all who responded to my original question.

Compaq C700 - CPU fan not running after waking up from Sleep mode

Hi guys,
Waking up from Sleep mode does not start the CPU fan.
Kernel: 2.6.32-ARCH
KDE : 4.4
Let me know what other details you need.

I was having the same problem after installing mountain lion.
What i did was in Finder went to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and deleted all the networking plists (refer screen shot). Then restarted the Mac and in Network Preferences reconnected to my WLAN.
That solved the problem.
