How to keep the fan noise down?

I use my 2010 macbook pro to make music every day.
I spend a lot of time in a small room with it and the fans go crazy as soon as i do anything slightly cpu intensive.
The fans come on and are pretty loud, even with some ventilation under the laptop they go crazy.
Is there a solution to keeping them down and keeping the mac cool without being noisy?
Thanks

    Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.
    Sorry to give the bad news!

  • Graphic issue but goes away if I keep the fans running

    So I have a graphics problem where I end up with lines covering the screen and screwed up video, however I am now certain this is due to overheating however I am not able to get new thermal paste for a week or two because of shipping. I am asking you if there is a way to keep the fans running at maximum output as when I have booted up the mac from a firewire drive, the graphic issues go away, but as soon as the fans start to die down it comes back within seconds.
    Thanks

    The graphics issue may well not be lack of thermal paste, but a failing logic board. Have you run Apple Hardware Test or Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

  • 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?)

  • How to keep the WBS & Order in account assignment tab of SD contract item?

    Hi Experts,
    If I remove the plant from the shipping tab in the contract item (the contract type is WV), I will be able to enter the WBS or Order in accounting assignment tab. However, if I enter the plant (in order to determine the tax in pricing), the WBS and Order are disappered and there is one new settlement rule button showed up.
    Do you know any configuration could keep the WBS and order in the accounting assigment tab even the plant is there.
    Thanks in advance!
    Norman

    Hi Chandra,
    Thanks for your answer. However, I even added the plant in the WBS, the tax (we use tax jurisdiction) still could not be determined.
    The problem is that SAP changes the account assignment tab screen (it suppresses the WBS and Order fields, but addes settlement rule) with the plant in the shipping tab. Do you know how to keep the same account assignment tab screen with the plant in the shipping tab?
    Thanks,
    Norman

  • How to keep the data entered on a page apex

    how to keep the data entered on a page apex
    so, I've got a registration page then wish go to another page P2 and I return to this P1 without losing data

    Hi,
    As long as the registration page is within the same session, the values will remain in the session until they are specifically cleared out. This can be done by a process on a page - so check if you have a "reset page" process on P1 and, if you do, delete it. This can also be done on a branch - so check the branch that takes you to P2 and see if there is anything entered in the Clear Cache setting and, if it shows *1*, remove that. There are other ways as well, but these are most typical.

    This is a user to user forum and Adobe Staff does drop by.
    First thing to try is Reset the Type Tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar.
    If you still have problems, it could be related to fonts. Here is a step by step troubleshooting help doc for that.

  • How to keep the field open for input with error message in report program

    Hi,
      Need a help in solving the below issue.
    "How to keep the field open for input with error message in report program"
    Regards,
    C.Shasiraj.

    Hi...
    you have to use the event:
    <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON <FIELD> EVENT.</b>
    u have to give an error message in this event.
    Consider the following <b>Example:</b>
    <b>PARAMETERS : NUMBER TYPE I.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
      IF NUMBER = 10.
        MESSAGE 'Number vakue is 10' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE NUMBER.
    </b>
    in this if u give the value of number = 10, it will not proceed further, if u give some other value other than 10 you will proceed further...
    Execute this program once u will understand....
    also Consider the following links :

  • How to keep the Recent Call Record more than a week?

    How to keep the Recent Call Record more than a week? I found the iPhone only can keep the Recent Call Record for only a week.

    I have to disagree with your response with respect. My i phone is limiting me to call going back only 7 days ie today is 29 July and my call log will only go back to 22 July. I have only 40 calls logged for that period. I cannot view up to the 100 you mention. I have included all calls for a single caller as well ie one caller shows 7 so ive counted that as 7 calls. There appears no way to set up to 100 in the settings
    Thanks

  • Does Anybody know how to keep the license files and Certificates in ISE-3315 During the upgrade.

    Hi,
    I have two ISE-3315 Appliances in production network.
    I need someone's help to explain, how to make the Secondary node as the primary admin note to reset-config.
    And then I would like to know how to keep the license files and Certificate during the Upgrade.
    Please help me to answer my questions.

    The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) provides distributed  deployment of runtime services with centralized configuration and  management. Multiple nodes can be deployed together in a distributed  fashion to support failover.
    If you register a  secondary Monitoring ISE node, it is recommended that you first back up  the primary Monitoring ISE node and then restore the data to the new  secondary Monitoring ISE node. This ensures that the history of the  primary Monitoring ISE node is in sync with the new secondary node as  new changes are replicated.
    Please  Check the below configuration guide for Secondary ISE- Nodes.
