Internal fan will not stop

computer got unplugged one day and when attempted to re-boot the power button was jammed. Let sit for a few hours and tried again to turn on. With some wiggling we got the computer to turn on but the internal fan is running on high and will not quit. After a few hours of the fan running (so we would know that the computer was not hot) we shut it down thinking maybe re-booting it would help. We left the office with the computer shut off and the next morning we came in a started it up and the fan is still running on high. We know the computer is not hot and since the noise is very annoying we would love to know how to make it stop. Any suggestions would be lovely.

Not exactly sure why this is in the Remote Desktop community, but try this:
Unplug the computer.
Wait a few seconds.
Press the power button in for about 5 seconds then release it.
Wait a few seconds.
Plug the computer back in and then start it up
I think they call this resetting the SMC.

mac mini + power book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yep, have a Macbook Pro 1.83 Ghz (week 15) with 2GB SDRAM. Since 10.4.8 I have been experiencing the same issue. As somebody else descibed it on this site its alike a spinning wheel sound on a bicycle. Recently Apple have been messing around alot causing problems with networking and CaptureOne and so on. Hope they get their act together soon.

If you note that your Mac fans don't work correctly, do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

When my iBook got hot like that, I would take a break and let it cool down.
You can buy laptop desks that have USB powered fans on them, such as the Targus Chill Mat.

Laserjet cm1415 will not stop showing "Incoming Call"

I have the fax setup in manual mode and it will not stop showing "Incoming call" on the panel even thjough there is no call comming in. Other than that everything works well. Any body have any ideas on how to get it off of that so the printer can go into sleep mode?
Thanks

The "Incoming Call" message is shown whenever we see a ring signal on the line, regardless of the fax receive mode.
If this message is showing up when no fax is being sent, then it means that there is noise on the phone line. You can contact your phone company to discuss options in reducing the noise on your phone line.
If this message is showing up with no phone line plugged in, then the modem inside the printer is detecting noise. It is possible that the internal fax parameters have become corrupt. If that is the case, then you can perform a "Restore Defaults" in order to reset them. Note: doing this will erase all of your settings. You can print out a configuration report before doing this so you can reset them. A restore can be done at the control panel by pressing [Setup] on the main screen (the button with the wrench on it), then select "Service" and then "Restore Defaults."
This is based on my own experience with the product.

Internal speakers will not play, only audio choice is "digital out".

15 inch MacBook Pro. Internal speakers will not play. Output to headphone plug did work. Now I cannot insert headphones into socket, it seems to be too shallow. There is no red glow as mentioned in other posts. I had the red glow issue on an older MacBook and resolved it by inserting toothpick into socket and triggered switch. I have used command, option, r and p reset. Ideas?

That is what I thought as well. I am not able to check the same headphone jack I was using earlier today, but other 3.5 mil jacks dont fit. I will try again with the same one used earlier.
Would this also cause my internal speakers to not be recognized? I had a issue similar to this with my old macbook and was able to resolve it by flipping a switch in the output socket. Something to try? I would also assume that a bent contact or switch is not something an average joe could fix.
Thanks for your quick responses.

Rebuilding aMacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, hard drive failure so rebuilding system. Aircard will not stop self-assigning IP address. Any ideas how to resolve successfully?

Had hard drive failure on MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, so had to rebuild the OS on new drive. Was on Lion 10.7.5 prior to failure, but had to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3 since that was most recent OS on media I had. After finally getting ethernet connection to router working, was able to get to internet and download / upgrade to 10.6.8. I assume I can probably buy the upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 from there.
Problem is this, Airport will not stop self-assigning IP address for my wireless connection, and unless I can get wireless back on this laptop, doesn't make a lot of sense to continue the rebuild and reinstall of all the software that was on it prior to HD failure. Only way to my home network and router is ethernet now. Everything else on my network (Apple MacBook Pro laptops, iPhones, desktops, and non-Apple printers and laptops) is hooking up to router wirelessly fine.
Any ideas how to resolve successfully so that the airport will stop self-assigning and allow the router to assign the IP address?

My ipod touch will not stop playing music

My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

My data wheel will not stop spinning (i think i am being tapped)

iphone 3GS 3.1.3 16gb white not jailbroken completly stock
ok every time i open up my native phone app the data wheel instantly starts spinning and will not stop. it does stop as soon as i close it.
i thought it might have something to do with google sync so i deleted my mail account but it did not help aat all
PLease help this is driving my crazy

Perhaps it's trying to access your voicemail. Is that working properly? Does the Phone app work?
Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

ITunes will not stop verifying

I have an iPhone4 with the latest iTunes (10.1.0.54) and when I plug my iPhone4 in, it will not stop verifying. I used to have this problem if I canceled a sync. It would verify the phone the next time I plugged it in. I did that this time. I canceled a sync, but now it will not stop verifying to do anything else. I have left it plugged in for 14 hours and it just verifies the entire time. I can do nothing else. It is not set to sync automatically. How do I stop this?

I'm having the same problem, but I've got a MacBook Pro (rather than a PC).
Not only does it continue to 'verify' but it won't even let me force quit (says it's restoring my phone ... but after a number of hours it must be done already).

Whenever I open Firefox a series of sirens start and will not stop. Does not happen in Internert Explorer.

When Firefox is opened a series of sirens starts and will not stop until Firefox is closed.

Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, the welcome tab will not stop opening. It's getting rather annoying.

The welcome tab for the new 4.0 will not stop opening every time I open my browser. Each time I open Firefox two tabs open, the welcome page for the new 4.0 and my home page. I updated some time ago and this welcome page is becoming quite annoying. How do I stop it from opening? In the past, it has stopped after the first time I open Firefox following an update.

Thank you for the reply. I have Google set as my homepage, and that's the only homepage listed in the Options box. I tried restoring to default, but when I opened again, the 4.0 page and Google opened again. That leads me to think it might be options, but that article meant absolutely nothing to me.
What I find strange is that when I have one Firefox window open, then open another Firefox window, only the Google page opens, not the "get to know 4.0" page.

Distiller will not stop distilling postscript file

I use Distiller 6.0.2. Lately, when I try to distill a Quark layout into a pdf the distilling process will not stop. The progress bar shows a number that just keeps on climbing up. It seems if I quit the program and then restart it, this will solve the problem and distiller will make a pdf of the postscript. However, I will get the same problem once I try to distill another page. I tried to trashing the Distiller preferences and then restarting the program. This did not do anything.

It's not a specific file and it doesn't matter how big a file is. I am distilling a postscript file. My Mac is running on 10.3.9. I only print from Quark to get postscript files.
