iMac mid 2007 is overheating; where can I download fan control please?

Thank you for the reminder! I have been in the habit of vacuuming but have become lazy of late. This has been a particular issue as the cat spends much of his life under the reading light next the iMac. In fact, I have got so used to the cat being here, that I'd the vacuuming routine.

HT201257 I have an iMac (Mid 2007) upgraded to Lion OS. My fan runs all the time at high speed. I tried the SMT reset without results. I could not try the AHT test because it is not on my computer or install disk. Any suggestions what I can do to correct

I have an iMac (Mid 2007) upgraded to Lion OS. My fan runs at high speed all the time. I reset the SMT without results. I had no way to do the hardware test.
Can I fix this high fan speed?

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above doesn't help then create a new user account. Log into the new account. Does this fix the problem?

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

Where can I download niDMM Control.vi?

Hi all,
I'm relatively new to Labview programming and I just need a little assistance with a couple basic questions.
I recently finished developing an electrical test harness for a PCB using Labview. I developed it on a computer in our production area and now that computer is being used heavily. I need to make some changes to the software but I will need to work from my desk and then push the updates out to that computer. Unfortunately, the production computer has some .vi's, etc. that my desk computer does not have. I've tried doing a search on the Prod. computer for the required files but I'm just having a hard time finding them.
This is a stupid situation to be in and I thought maybe I could get some help from this forum to resolve this issue efficiently.
I need to find "niDMM Control.vi".
Where should I look for it on the Production computer?
-or-
Where can I download it?
Thank you for your help, in advance.

The actual location of the niDMM Control.vi is the following:
<LabVIEW Install Folder>\instr.lib\niDMM\nidmm.llb\niDMM Control.vi
HOWEVER, if you just copy over these files you will likely be missing other things and have other linking issues. The right thing to do is open MAX on the other machine then open the software section on the left and look for the version of NI DMM that is installed. Then you should install that version on your computer which will add all the files to your instr.lib that is needed.

Where can I download VAIO CONTROL CENTER SOFTWARE (not UPDATE) for WIN8?

My model is SVE1513RCXB. Thanks for your help.

Hi mlbnguyen2610,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Based on my end, the original Operating System of your Vaio SVE1513RCXB is Windows 7. Did you install a retail copy of Windows 8 Operating System? Usually the originally shipped version of Vaio Control Center is in the recovery partition. Kindly try this option.
Download and install VAIO Care™ (Desktop) Software, this is under Windows 8 option located on eSupport.sony.com. Open Vaio Care (Desktop) -> Advanced Tools -> Restore and recovery -> Reinstall applications and drivers -> Then look for Vaio Control Center and follow the on-screen instructions. (We have different versions of Vaio Care. Just follow the instructions applicable in your unit).
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
Hope these help.

Can't Transfer my info from Imac( mid-2007) to my macbook pro (mid-2009)

Hello,
i bought a macbook pro today and I'm having trouble transferring my data from my Imac(mid-2007) to my macbook pro. I do not own a firewire cable unless it comes with the computer? I was doing it wirelessly and after i entered the code said it was transsferring data. But after a minute it cam up with this notice,"There was an error connecting to the network, and the information on the other Mac couldn't be accessed." What should i do? Does anyone else have this problem? Did you fix it?
Thanks!

You can make the transfer using an Ethernet cable. From you machine description, I can't tell if you will need a crossover (Ethernet) cable or not. Here is the info you will need to do the transfer via Ethernet.

Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)! Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.

My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so. Very hot. Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

IMac mid 2007 and need help

Bluetooth pane has gone missing since update from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 on iMac mid 2007

I have a iMac mid 2007 model. I was running os x 10.10.2 with no problems. I update to os x 10.10.3 for the security issue. Now my bluetooth pane has gone missing from system preferences. I have tried everything suggested in suggested in support as it seems others have suffered the same thing on different macs. Nothing has that was suggested there has corrected this issue. Does anyone have any ideas apart from using a wired mouse and keyboard or using time machine to revert to os x 10.10.2? Let me know please.
Also booting up is slow to say the least, I can live with that though unless there is an as yet unknown by me fix.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

HT1338 The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software

The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software ,not with /Apple/Software Update or /About this Mac or /System Preference/Software Update, the problem started already with 10.8 and I had to download the 10.8.2 Combo manualy, installation was succesful, but since iPhoto11 (9.4) is now available my existing iPhoto11 (9.3.2) will not detect updates using AppStore or all the other ways, Any idee is welcome.

Glad you got your Mac fixed. But I hope you realize that an update can always go awry; corrupted download, stray voltage spike in your AC power, even a bug in the Installer of the Update. That's why it's never a good idea to update anything that affects your business for at least a week or even two AFTER the update comes out.
And this applies not just to the OS Update, it may be even more important with an update to one of the apps you need for your business! 8-| There's hardly ever a valid reason to make an Update while working on a clients task. Certainly no reason to make an Update during the work week. That's what Week Ends are for! LOL!
Basic rule for the OS Update, for me, anyway, is to NEVER use the Software Update version. I ALWAYS go to the Apple site and download the Combo Updater. It's often much larger, but it's never failed me. Maybe just that fewer people are hitting that server! Who knows? Who cares?
Second basic rule, WAIT a few weeks to see if there are problems associated with any update. What's the advantage of being the first one on the block with a problem?!
Third basic rule, try the download a second time. Bits/electrons are very slippery! Some have been known to fall out of the Internet "tubes!"

Why won't my IMac Mid 2007 not work with ANY Microphone?

So I have recently received an IMac (Mid 2007) model that is used from my uncle. It is in GREAT condition with one flaw which I found out during a skype call. The mic didnt work. So I opened preferences, went to sound, went to input and saw that it was in "Internal Microphone". I changed it to Line In and used a separate microphone, still didnt work. Used another microphone to make sure it wasnt broken, didnt work. I have been looking online and didnt find anyone with my problem. It is so weird and I can't figure it out. On the other line the only time my friend (in the skype call) could hear anything was when I plugged in the external microphone and he thought it might work. I tried the sound with photo booth, skype, and just plain old volume. PLEASE HELP! I need to skype during my work on the computer!!! Thank you very much!
Also If you are willing to help out with other questions please do.
I have seen people run Windows 8 on a Mac product and would be willing to do that if there are no side effects to the cpu. Please tell me if there are any issues doing that, and if not tell me how.
This computer has 2GB of ram right now and is expandable to 6GB of ram. Is it possible to expand it over 6? And is it very difficult?
Should I upgrade to Mavericks. It is free and easy to download but I have been told that due to my low ram I should wait until I pump it up to 4 or 6GB of ram and then upgrade.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Isnt line in just a fancy word for a plug that looks like headphones?
No. The term "line in" refers to the signal level the input can accept. It has nothing to do with the type of socket/plug.
I just checked what Line in is and i do have a line in spot in my mac. So why would i need to buy the IMic?
Because you need a microphone-level input, which can accept the lower level of signal that a microphone puts out, and again, no Mac has had a microphone-level input in years. Line level is a much stronger signal.
So you need:
- a microphone that puts out a line-level signal. There are a few, but not many.
or
- a USB microphone
or
- an audio device that can accept a microphone-level signal. The Griffin iMic is one, but there are others.
Regards.
