I have a 13 in macbook an dthe fan is running continuously and very loud. This is a new occurance so I'm concerned. This macbood is a few years old
This has been a great note book over the years but now as soon as I turn it on the fan is running and is very loud. Whe I run diags on it I get the folowing error code
Mot 4/1/0000000/exhaust
Does anyone know wher eto get the error code definitions?

Thanks idaveb
I took the back off and cleaned the fan area. It was pretty clean but I bew it out anyway. The fan is still running very loud and contimuously. Running diags I stil get error code 4MOT/1/40000002: Exhaust-0
I checked the montor and CPU and memory were not in high use. I'm thinking of resetting the SMC. Ths macbook has a warning to not remove the battery so I am looking for directions on how to reset the SMC

MacBook Pro - Intel - Fan comes on in Standby very loud -Can this be fixed?
Hi
I've just bought a MacBook pro Dual core Intel and Ive noticed that when it goes into standby the fan comes on very loud and stays on. Do you if there is a way to solve this?
ThanksIs your machine under the store replacement policy period?
If it is, contact them and ask for a replacement.
If it isn't, run the hardware test:

Macbook pro is not charging, fans running constantly and very loudly
I have a macbook pro 13-inch, Late 2011, until a month or so ago it had been running perfectly with no problems. At some point the magasfe power adapter stopped working, when i plugged it into my laptop there would be no light on it, and my laptop would not turn on or show any sign of turning on, i also tried the charger on my friends macbook and it did not charge hers either, i assumed it was a problem with the charger and therefore bought a new one but then found there was other problems with the laptop, it seems to only turn on when i connect the charger and then quickly press the power button before a light comes on the magsafe power adapter and hold it for around 5 seconds, the light is constantly green on the magsafe power adapter, as soon as it starts up the fans come on and are extremely noisy, the barttery doesn't charge and the laptop only works when connected to a source of power, the battery icon has an x in it and says 'no battery available' i have tried multiple supposed fixes such as resetting the SMC, cleaning the fan, and other things i have seen online but nothing seems to be working, I'm starting to wonder if the battery needs to be replaced? and if that has anything to do with the fans running constantly, can anyone help or having any other suggestions of how to fix my problem?
thanks

I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?
Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,
Regard,

Hi, I have a refurbished upgraded macbook with 320 GB Disk, 4GB Memory and running Lion OS v 10.7.5. This satisfies the second part of the requirement for installing OS X Mavericks (10.9) but happens to be an early 2008 piece. Can I somehow install 10.9? And why is apple not allowing people like me to try out this installation? Any reason that are too technical that people like me cannot upgrade and handle?
This would solve many apps to run on this.It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

I have an ipod Classic 80G. It is a few years old and hasnt been used for a while. I have just tried to sync it to my new Mac and it says theat thei ipod is synced with another itunes account!!!
It was orriganally managed through my old pc but as far as i am aware the itunes account is the same. If i sync with my mac it will remove all that is in the Classsic and replace it with current itunes!
How can i get round this ?Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
More details here > iOS: Syncing with iTunes -
I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?
If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you. -

this morning my PB G4 would not get to the password screen after power on. I have rebooted many times and very loud noises (like a HD spinning/rubbing) emits. Tried the Install disk and it cannot find the hard drive. Ran HW test and got a "Mass storage Error Code" message.
Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable? Time to replace my notebook?I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.

My iPad is a few years old but the battery is running down very quickly, is there anything I can do ?
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

MacBook Pro's fans start running at high speed when the computer is asleep. Normal?
The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?
This is not normal. See if a SMC reset solves the problem:
