IMac has high temperatures at all times
My iMac has high temperatures at all times lately. I realized this after it began randomly freezing, and so I installed iStat Pro and saw the temperatures seemed higher than usual.
Here they are (all temperatures are in Celsius degrees):
HD: 53
CPU: 52
Ambient: 30
GPU Diode: 71
GPU Heatsink: 66
Mem Controller: 60
Optical Drive: 52
Power supply 2: 75
Fan speeds:
Optical drive: 1110 rpm
Hard drive: 1100 rpm
CPU fan: 1421 rpm
I imagine these are quite a bit on the high side? These are also pretty constant, meaning even when I've just got iTunes and Firefox open (as I do now), these are the values that I get.
Anything I can do about this? I assume that AppleCare wouldn't do much about this unless something dies inside my computer, such as the fans failing or something?
I think the HD and CPU temps are running a TAD high, IMO.
The iMac's fans don't ramp up fast enough to keep both the HD and CPU cool enough.
I like to see both the HD and CPU temps below 50 degrees C during semi-normal operations.
I think iMac's run too warm/hot causing a " slow roasting" of various internal components over not so long a time.
If you are worried like I do, you can install an iMac fan control app called SMC Fan Control.
This little app will allow you ramp up the iMac's minimum fan speeds to a faster rpm than what Apple has set the default minimum rpm speed to be.
You want to use and set the fan speed conservatively to prevent premature burn up of the fan motors and to minimize sucking in additional dust, dirt and lint into your iMac.
When using this app create a new default user setting and set the fans rpm speeds to between 200-600 rpm higher/faster than the Apple default speeds. My recommendation is not to run the fans over 2000 rpm.
If both the HD and CPU still run at a higher temp., you can try a slightly higher settings for these between 1600 to 1800 rpm.
These settings keep the iMac and the fans relatively quiet, minimizing the amount of extra dust, dirt and lint into your iMac and allow these components to run at a more acceptable or tolerable temperature.
Another thing that can help with the heat buildup.
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
Also, it wouldn't hurt to run a small fan behind the iMac blowing on the back panel of the iMac.
I do this, as well.
Good luck!

My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old. Any idea what it could be?
I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth. -
My iMac has been shutting down multiple times a day.

My iMac has changed its name 182 times..
Why is this happening? Have I picked up a trojan and if so, how do I kill it?
My question was fishing for a cable-TV over coax company. Since they have only the single coax pathway multi-dropped to serve a neighborhood, they provide a "shared" connection downstream from the neighborhood box, and a "shared" connection upstream to the neighborhood box. Your computer is identified by its IP Address.
So on a coax plant, you DO have other computers on your local loop that could have the same name. They are your neighbors. If you probe your Network segment, you can usually see them there. And when the kids come home from school and start downloading music and videos, your shared connection slows down.
Because of the possibility of unscrupulous users in your neighborhood impersonating your IP Address, cable-over-coax companies enforce M.A.C. Addresses (Hardware Addresses) carefully. If you change what equipment is connected (change M.A.C. Address) your connection will be refused, as well it should. You must call them and tell them you "got a new computer" (or a new Router, but you need not explicitly tell them that).
FIOS typically provides a "private" fiber optic cable from a port on a Router at your local telephone Central Office (giving you a non-shared channel on a bulk cable to and from downtown). You are effectively alone on your segment of cable. -
Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)
There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.
-
I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
my iMac has crashed...was told I need a new hard drive.....meantime I bought a mac mini.....I had an external drive connected to the mac....and was using time machine for backups....so....how do i move itunes music files to my new mac mini from the external drive?
Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source volume. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the access list. Give yourself read access if you don't already have it. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane. -
I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help
make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device

then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac -

Hi Earl thanks for respond
My curiosity is why used memory high all time for 24 hour not on peak hour only?, when i stop db console service it drop litle bit :D.
My suspicion is that Oracle is grabbing as much memory as it can on startup and it's simply holding on to it. Memory usage is generally not going to go down from some baseline once an application has been started. It's not like the CPU utilization, which can fluctuate quite a bit for any one application. Memory usage will likely increase if you run some memory intensive operations, but doubtful that you will ever see it go down much.

Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?
Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
Thank you in anticipaction.Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Fans are running on high at all times
for some reason the fans on my computer are running oh high at all times. from the second i turn my computer on, even if the computer has been turned off for days.
does anyone know why this is?Hi chasensanborg-
Try it with the drives disconnected. If the problem goes away, try plugging the drives in one at a time until you find the culprit.
LaCie drives tend to have power supply bricks that fail intermittently and get progressively worse. The symptom is difficult to troubleshoot as the drive will attempt to pull whatever power it needs from the FireWire bus if the brick is not supplying the right amount of juice. This can put a load on the power supply of the Mac and cause the fan to run more quickly in order to compensate for the heat generated by the load.
Luck-

IMac has gone back in time, deleting important files!
Hi, my iMac has sent many of its settings and files as they were months and months ago, and many other files have simply been erased completely, including all my school HSC files and my entire music collection.
more seriously is that although i have had a time machine back up set up for a long time now, it suddenly has deleted all recent up dates, with my earliest one being around april this year!
Has anyone had a similar problem lately? can any one offer some advice on what to do?
thanks...I'm not on Leopard, so I have no idea.
However, you might have more luck if you posted this question in the Time Machine forum. This one is for Keynote. -
I have a corrupt jpeg on my desktop. It has duplicated itself 450,000 times freezing my finder. I have reinstalled 10.6.8 but not freed up the desktop. I have managed to delete the corrupt jpeg from a shared imac but cannot delete the duplicates. Any ideas
This can be done from Single User Mode. You're going to need a little nerve though since everything is command line based.
1) Enter Single User Mode by restarting and holding down Command+S on the keyboard. A whole bunch of UNIX stuff will go by on the screen in white text on a black background. When it's done, the command prompt will be sitting at:
:/root#
2) Above that, you'll see that it tells you to enter two commands. Run this one first by typing it in and pressing enter:
/sbin/fsck/ -fy
This does a system file check. A good thing to do in your case as it may be damaged. It could take a while. When it's done, you'll be back at the :/root# prompt.
3) Enter the second command and press enter:
/sbin/mount -uw /
4) Type the following at the prompt:
cd /Users/name/Desktop
Where it says "name" above, the short name of your user account goes there. If you're not sure what it is, first type:
cd /Users
Then type:
ls
That's a lower case L, not a one. It stands for "list". You'll get a listing of all files and folders in the Users folder. So if your short account name is diane, then the command will be:
cd /Users/diane/Desktop
After entering that command, the prompt should read:
:Desktop root#
Type:
rm *.jpg
Be very careful to type is exactly as shown. rm followed by a space, then *.jpg. Press enter and all files ending in .jpg will be deleted from the Desktop folder. With 450,000 of them, you could be waiting a while for the prompt to come back.
Type:
exit
and press enter to boot back into OS X. -
Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
