I followed the steps here to reset the SMC, but I still cannot get my iMac to stop runnin the fan at full blast. What now?

Ensure you are  using the SMC reset for an Intel iMac. Sometimes it take several tries back to back for the SMC reset to work. I've included a link to the correct instructions for an Intel iMac (just in case) , click https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
If you still have issues then run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 3x, it's  also possible you may have a damaged fan or fan sensor.

    This happened after I got my carrier to unlock my phone.

    Hi, I tried all the steps listed in these forums and they didn't work (I deleted the apps and added them back, I dled a new app, I signed in and out of my acct, I synced my phone, I did a reset holding down the power and home button, etc.). Finally I just restored the phone and added back the apps I wanted. That took care of it. Thanks.

  • HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • I made a new playlist on ituns and changed the format to MPS, but I still cannot get it moved to my SD in that format...help?

    I made a new playlist on ituns and changed the format to MPS, but I still cannot get it moved to my SD in that format...help?

    Ok, so you said you've already right clicked on each song and "created a MP3 version?"
    If so sort the library's music by "Date Added (if it is not there right click on the other sort bars and add the column "Date Added". The mp4 versions are the ones in the playlist. You will have to find the newly added mp3s by sorting by Date Added.  Hope this helps!

    If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

    I have the most recent update.

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

    Hi hi-liter,
    Are you certain that you are signed onto iTunes & Apps in the Canadian store?
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores, click on your AppleID, and then click on View AppleID. Type in your password, then click on Country/Region. Once there, follow the prompts and then select the Canadian Flag.

  • Cannot get my iMac chooser to acknowledge the USB port for  Epson SP 700

    I have an old iMac (that looks like a big blue bubble) with OS 9.2. I have an Epson Stylus Photo 700 that I’ve had since 1998.
    I have a set of 9 year old triplets that I want to set the two up together! I’m thinking Good Luck…because I have tried everything. I downloaded the Epson drivers, bought a USB/Parallel adapter (as the Epson has no USB port.) The apple acknowledges the SP 700 under the chooser, but there is NOTHING on the right of the chooser to acknowledge the Epson in the USB port. Do you have any suggestions? I have a feeling there is some adapter card that is not on my OS 9.2 that needs to be downloaded. I saw something on the site 1.4.1, but I am scared to download that as under the apple system for the printer it says “O” next to the USB port , but it says 1.5.5, so I figure it is not smart to download any #’s less than that (like 1.4.1). Do you know of any adapter card that would work? Or some download I don’t know about, or is there one? Or can this even work or am I out of luck! I would be greatly appreciative of anything anyone could suggest.
    iMac   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Hi pbk333 and welcome to the discussions.
    THose early Epson USB drivers could be pretty pernickety, and even more so when used with a serial to USB adaptor. I see HERE, that there are a couple of "Driver updaters" available for use with the iMac etc. It may be worth trying them. THere is also some relevant information on the Epson site at http://www.epson.com.sg/other/help/inkjetcommonfaq.shtml
    But a couple of other points. Firstly you've posted in the iMac G5 forum (which is mainly inhabited by people using the much newer "flat screen" iMacs that run much later operatings systems than 9.2. You are more likely to find someone who knows about this probem (or at least can remember whether there was a simple answer!) in either the iMac G3 forum at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=888 or in the OS9 forum at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=669
    Secondly, those old printers can be pretty expensive to run , especially where children and colored ink are concerned! You may find that you can get a much newer printer, with cheaper ink and less problems with set-up, for not much more (maybe even less!) than a set of inkcartridges for the old Epson. I know OS9 compatible printers are getting hard to find, but something a little later than your Epson 700 (even a second hand Canon i560 or similar) might be a lot less trouble, and cheaper in teh long run, especially if children are using it.
    Cheers

  • HT1364 I've done the steps here but when I reopen Itunes it won't see the files.

    Exactly what the title says.  I load up itunes after following all the instructions, it doesn't say it's missing files, it doesn't say it can't locate the library. It opens like usual but shows no files under Music or Books or any other catagories.  I check Prefrences/Advanced/ and make sure it's pointed to the new library location.  It is.  Keep files organized is checked.  Consolidate is checked.  When I navigate with windows explorer to the new library it shows all the files there just like it did in the old location.  So what gives?
    Here's what I've done to try to fix it.  RecycleBin/ Hit restore on the deleted Itunes library. It goes back to where it was. Load up itunes and tell it to look at original library.  Still the same problem. itunes won't show any of the files even though it's pointed to the correct location.

    If they are both the same size then my guess is they are both empty. No Previous iTunes Libraries folder from the last time you updated iTunes? Normally I'd expect to see files of the form iTunes Library yyyy-mm-dd.itl one of which might have served as a useful starting point.
    What you should have done if you wanted your library on a different drive was move the entire iTunes folder as a unit to the root of the other drive, and then shift-start-iTunes, choose library. I can't tell what you've done, but if you use the shift-start-iTunes technique to open each of those libraries and neither contain your media & playlists, and you can find no other .itl files then I guess you'll just have to start over. Are there any .tmp files in the iTunes folder? If so see this post.
    If nothing else works see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
