  • How do I clean the fan?

    My G5 acts up fairly regularly and I think all the service tech did last time was clean the fan.  Is this possible? and if so how do I do it (including opening the case).

    The case is easy to open ...

    Then if very dirty take it outside, you'll need some compressed air, canned may work but I use a 100 PSI compressor.

  • My cpu stays on 3600 rpm. Therefore my fan are on 4800 rpm. Did a smc reset and al the other reset. Help me please. Apple cant help. I even clean the fan.

    My cpu stays on 3600 rpm. Therefore my fan's run at 4800 rpm. Did a smc reset and al the other reset. Help me please. Apple cant help. I even clean the fan.
    I have tried everything you can find on the net. From unplug the cable cord to cleaning fans. Smc reset en pram reset. Eeven more. Its a Intel imac 24 inch 2009. Help

    Hooray, I think I found a solution.
    Using terminal commands there actually is a way to force smcFanControl to set a tolerable max rpm for the CPU fan.
    WARNING:
    Be aware that this solution should only be used if you know what you're doing and you are absolutely sure the CPU fan on your iMac is indeed out of control.
    Forcing a low max speed on a healthy CPU Fan with fully functioning sensors can seriously damage your Mac. You have been warned.
    The solution:
    Install smcFanControl
    Go to the terminal and use these commands to regain control of your noisy iMac:
    /Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F2Mx -w 12c0
    This will set the CPU Fan to max at 1200 rpm: (Oh yes!)
    To revert to standard settings use:
    /Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F2Mx -w 3cf0
    This will set CPU Fan to max at the default 3900 rpms
    You might have noticed that the last 4 digits are the fan speed (in hexidecimal)
    Other fan speeds you can try:
    1100rpm = 1130
    1500rpm = 1770
    3900rpm = 3cf0
    Now all I need is a way to make the setting permanent. Anyone know how to run the above terminal command automatically on bootup?

  • Cleaning the fans without opening the case???

    I'd like to know if there's a way to clean the iMac fans _without opening it_, and how often should I do this cleaning. My computer is about one year old and I've never cleaned the fans or anything inside the machine.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Never open the iMac, you could void your warranty. Just clean around the vents, keep them as dust free as possible. Here's another thread that might offer some ideas:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6793474
    One post offers a link to show you how to take the iMac apart, but I strongly suggest you do not do that.

  • I just took in my macbook to the apple store to clean the fan because it was starting make a little noise but instead of making it stop it sounds like an airplane about to take off all the time, it doesn't matter what i'm doing. I dont know what to do now

    I just took in my macbook to the apple store to clean the fan because it was starting make a little noise but instead of making it stop it sounds like an airplane about to take off all the time, it doesn't matter what i'm doing. I dont know what to do now? any ideas on how to make it stop?

    take it back asap.  If it wasn't doing it before they cleaned the fans, they may have accidentally done something that is causing this behavior.

  • Does anyone know how to reset the fan on a MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011) to it's factory setting speed (Maybe Terminal may help?)

    I have a late-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite. (Standard configuration).
    My problem is that I downloaded a fan control application and it worked perfectly, but it started to get annoying so I deleted it.
    Does anyone know how to reset the fan speed back to factory settings (Maybe a command in terminal?)

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

    Hi Eric and Markus,
    We found the Solution and off course we did good R & D, Finally I am able to implement the fix to Clear the Command Line History.
    All I did is I Disabled the Permissions for Code Folder (Right Click > Permissions > Deny) in Regedit.
    Thats It, The Commands stopped storing in the History.
    Thank you Erick and Markus.

    I was wondering how you clean the metal panel on the back of the Nano. I used a tissue with soap and water and it got clean but I have heard people use metal wool to clean the back of their iPods in general.
