How can I control my fan speed?

How can I control my fan speed on my macbook pro? I use SMC for gaming and streaming video from the internet when using my Mac OS, but I partitioned my drive and installed Windows 8 in order to play a different game (not a huge game) and the computer heats up dramatically when playing on Windows through Boot Camp to the point that it freezes every time (it never does this when playing a mac game or streaming on the normal partition Mac OS).
Any suggestions or programs to control fan speed of the mac from windows?

Get a cooling pad. That will much better than trying to constantly adjust fan speeds.
Ciao.

How do I control my fan speed?

Hello, I have a HP ENVY dv6 laptop, and from time to time it gets really hot, so i would like to have the opportunity to control my fan speed manual. Is there any way I can do that?
Please Help
Sincerely
Crab

Hi Crab,
If your Notebook is running hot then there are few methods you can try to maintain the Temprature.
1.) Go to www.hp.com/go/support website and go to Download Driver section listed under Support.
2.) Look for BIOS and download and install the latest one.
3.) Follow the on-screen instructions to install BIOS and NB might restart multiple times and make sure Ac-power Adapter is connected during the update/installation.
4.) From the Download Driver page, look for Software-Solutions and download HP CoolSense Technology software and install it.
(HP CoolSense Technology is a feature in some HP notebook PCs that combines hardware, software, and mechanical design to dynamically manage the temperature of a notebook).
5.) Restart the Notebook and check.
Also, check the below links for more troublshooting instructions for PC being warmer than normal.

@OP you could try lowering your socket receive buffer size to the desired bandwidth-delay product.

My 2006 iMac has begun to run hot which often causes issues. How can I adjust the fan speed with supported software?

24-inch iMac (2006) funning hot. Used "power button while turning on" trick to cool it so we could load some software which was telling us it was too hot; it was also smellong like it was going to burn up on fire one day while running a slide show for an hour. Need to figure out how to un-do the constant-on fan and need to find "supported" software that allows me to vary speed.

There is one called smcFanControl 2.2.2 released, but you really need to make sure that your iMac's air intake vents are clean and free from dust so that it is not sucked deeper into the iMac.
To clean the iMac's intake vent:
1. Shutdown the iMac and disconnect everything from it including the power cord.
2. Lay the iMac face down on a soft towel or cloth and go get out the vacumm cleaner.
3. Usinge the vacumm's brush or cravass tool, vigrously vacumm the bottom grill and small vent under the stand.
4. You also might want to remove the center RAM cover on the bottom and carefully vacumm it out without distrubing the RAM modules.
Then next before using smcFanControl, use the iStat Pro, a Dashboard Widget by iSlayer to first check all the sensor temp's and the speed of all three fans.
Finally if it is still having a cooling problem or you find that a fans has failed, you should stop using the iMac until the problem is fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider.

Can you adjust the fan speed? How?

I had an espiode the other day where the MacBook got so hot that it basically shut down. Can the fan be adjusted and how do I get to the area to adjust it? I am fairly new to the world of MacBooks and would appreciate the advice.

You can easily adjust the fan speed by using smcFanControl:

That said, it sounds a bit strange that the MacBook would run so hot. The fan should adjust itself to the CPU warmth. If that is not happening, I'd investigate whether the fan really works.

Apple TV uploads can take up to 30 minutes. I need control over this, because it interrupts my presentations. How can I control the time it chooses to do uploads?

Apple TV uploads can take up to 30 minutes. I need control over this, because it interrupts my presentations. How can I control the time it chooses to do uploads?

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

Is it possible to control CPU fan speed (lower) with K8T NEO2-FIS2R (MS-6702)?

I have:
MSI K8T NEO2-F motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor
Bios is latest I found, AMI BIOS 9.20
Operating system is Windows XP pro.
Processor was boxed and with the normal amd fan.
Processor fan is plugged in CFAN slot.
My problem is that the cpu fan spins a bit too fast. Cpu temp stays at 25C and fan is spinning at 1800 rpm.
Setting manual mode from corecenter didn't change the fan speed at all. Not up or down. Neither can SpeedFan program. But if I stress the cpu, the fan starts spinning faster.
What is controlling the fan speed and can I manually control it?
There are no control options in bios.
If I missed any information, please do ask more.

Hi,
Core Center is crap, you can't do anything else with that than uninstall.
Speedfan works. You'll have to set "PWM 2" from "thermal cruise" to "manual control" somewhere in the advanced configuration menu, I don't remember where you can find that. The help file provided with speedfan is quite good, I strongly recommend reading it carefully. Using speedfan you can also control a second fan connected to the SFAN-connectors.
The built-in fan control sets the speed of the CPU fan to 2/3 of its nominal RPM value (my fan starts at 2100/min, max is something about 3300/min or so). Its speed increases quite late, on my system at temperatures above 50°C. And it increases quite slowly.

How can I control selection on a PDF

I have Acrobat Pro 9 Pro build 9.4.6 and am constantly exporting documents from indesign to .pdf, and also building docs in the 'combine' feature from mixed pages.
While everything seems to go reasonably well, I have a few problems that are due either to my ignorance, or bugs.
1. The biggie; How can I control what I select, for the purpose of copying, moving and deleting? When I drag the touch-up object tool over my selection, it selects what it wants to most of the time; sometimes it selects (i.e., puts a light blue box around) the entire page, instead of my selection (no pages are scanned). There are very few instances when I get exactly what I want; there are usually a few lines above or below, no matter how careful I am in my selection. The funny thing is that this is not a constant; sometimes, the tool works perfectly! and I have my heart in my mouth every time I really need it to work, hoping that it will not force me to go back to Indesign to make minor corrections. Perhaps my problems are connected to options I select when exporting my indds, but I've tried checking, clearing, and selecting various combinations and nothing seems to work.
Sometimes, the text selection tool is strange; a wide blue swath develops over the selected text, even though it is still usually possible to edit the text in this condition. And BTW, is there anything to do about the fact that some text can't be edited at all because a suitable font replacement can't be found? Can't a font be added somehow that will take care of this?
2. Headers and Footers; fairly effortless, but if the footer contains two rows and I want them centered, the second row looks centered in the preview but not in the doc. I have to go back to the footer dialog and guesstimate how many spaces to place before the second row to get it to look centered. Also, is there any way to place a logo in a header? That would be one of my requests for the next version of Acrobat, if not.
3.Hyperlinks; they don't always work,even though I check Hyperlinks in the Export settings. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
4. Typwriter toolbar; it also seems to offer font and size changes whenever it feels like it, and I've tried all different orders of typing, selecting, etc.

It's me again, sorry! I wanted to save what I'd written, and my message popped up to the board.
Thank you for any advice anyone has!
PS My indd and acrobat are the same version, as they came in the same package (CS4). Windows XP sp3.
Oh, one more thing I just remembered, as long as I'm complaining; sometimes if I place an object (the logo) and copy it to another page, it disappears on the original page, as if I've cut it. Any fix for that? (strange how I can edit tmy 'reply' but not my original post...well, at least I found where to ask a question fairly quickly!)

How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

How can I control a button from one swf file to another swf file?

Hi,
I have a main.swf file. From that file I am accessing the external.swf file which is an external file.
Now, how can I write code on my main.swf file for the button which is on my external.swf file?
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
Activities.MainPanel.close_btn (This buttons is actually on external.swf file, but I want to write code on main.swf file to execute it on external.swf) how can I control one swf button on other swf file?
Thanks.

Here's some example code that you should be able to adapt to your needs.
// create a new loader object instance...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// make the download request...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
// add a complete event listener to the loader
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// start the actual loading process...
loader.load(request);
// create a new empty movieClip instance, you will put the loaded movie into this movieClip once its loaded
var externalMovie:MovieClip;
// this function is called when the download has finished and the file is ready to use...
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
   // set the contents of the loaded movie to the new empty movieClip...
           externalMovie = MovieClip(event.target.content);
   // add this new movie to the display list...
   addChild(externalMovie);
Now you can refer to the loaded movie with the instance name "externalMovie". So if, for instance, you want to address a button in the loaded movie, you could write something like this on the main timeline:
externalMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);
function btnClickClose(event:MouseEvent):void {

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
TY...Over N Out...

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

How can I control how many times an individual photo is shown?

How can I control the frequency of each photo on apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos in slideshows will only be showed once until the slideshow repeats. If you want it to show more than once you will need to duplicate it.
Photos in screensavers show randomly.
