IPhoto 11 fan spinning very loudly

Hi,
I have a 2004 i7 15" Macbook Pro, when I startup iPhoto 11 (version 9.4.3) the fan spins really fast and I can hear it clearly. Also, the MBP will heat up and then reboot itself.
So I just bought a 2013 i7 13" Macbook Air, same problem, the fan spins loudly and then MBA heats up.
Can anyone help?
Thx and cheers,

That's what happens when an pp hangs or is in someother way distressed. Have you the same library on both machines?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Fans Spinning very loud.

This doesn't happen every day but its happened at least twice now where I've walked into the room where my computer and have it found the fans to be spinning super fast and making a very loud noise.
My computer was SUPPOSED to be in SLEEP mode.
What is this a sign of? How do I correct the issue? I had to do a hard shutdown of the computer to get them to stop.

Saw something about a Corrupt JPEG Data whatever that means unless its saying that one of the pictures I have saved on my hard drive is corrupt? I wouldn't even know how to locate the corrupted file.

Mac mini fan is very loud when watching a dvd

Hi,
Just bought a Mac mini (2GBRam 2GHz intel) and when watching a dvd the fan spins very loud which gets very annoying! Is this normal for watching dvd's on the Mini as I have a Macbook with similar specs and there is not much sound from that when watching dvd's. I installed 10.5.1 on the Mini and the Macbook still has 10.4.11...Any ideas?

The reset is always worth trying, just in case the problem is in the system controller. However, I'm not sure that I'd blame MacOS itself for the problem, because it does not appear to be similarly reported elsewhere. As such, I'd say that if you can't resolve this with a reset, you may find the next best option is an erase and install of Leopard, followed by downloading and installing the 10.5.1 update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1051update.html
Of course, since an erase and install wipes the hard drive, it is essential you back up your data before you do this!

By using iPhoto an Switch, the fan become very loud.

Hello.
I have the brand new MacBook Air 2013, with Intel i7.
Now when i using iPhoto an Switch, then the fan become very loud.
In iPhoto i have the problem, when i look for photo's.
When i change the bitrate of an mp3 in Switch, than the fan speed up i make a lot of noise.
I have make an SMC reset, but the problem is still there.
Anyone with the same problem, or have a fix for this.
Thanks.

You fan operates when a temperature threshold is reached, it sounds as if there is a slight noise, that one of the locking screws that bolts it is vibrating against its screw-hole or the board.
Call apple or go to the store and see about an exchange, I dont know how loud it is on your machine, but it should not be "making a lot of noise". Its sounds like an off balance bearing in the fan hub,......but without hearing it, i cant determine if its THAT problem, or merely a bolt rattle holding the fan assy. in place

One of my fans is very loud, while the other one is fine, is this an issue?

Hello there, Snake97.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great step for fans running at full speed:
iMac: Fans run at full speed after computer turns on

In order to correct the issue, reset the SMC. Your iMac should now start up and operate as expected.

Look at the film, the fan is very loud

look at the film, the fan is very loud
because someone has a solution

Watching a movie (film) puts a big load on the processor. The fan has to speed up to keep the processor from overheating. Put the MBA on a hard flat surface to get maximum cooling efficency.

My mac pro early 2009 graphics fan is very loud

I think something might be wrong with the video card. The fan is very loud at all times and gets louder on flash or video sites. The fan speed is usually double the other fans.

Try smc reset to see if the fan slows down.
Add something like iStat Pro (or iStat Menus, Hardware Monitor, etc.) to measure the fan speeds and some of the temperatures. Note none of these can measure the video card fan speed directly but knowing the various temps might indicate why it's thinks it needs to rev up.

Satellite A300D - Fan running very loud and notebook is getting very hot

I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem i currently have with my A300D. I have had the laptop for under a year so it is still under warrenty but i am not sure where to go or what to do in order to repair it.
The problem: Around two months ago I noticed the fan running very loud and also the laptop becoming very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop switches itself off completly. The heat being fanned out of the laptop is so hot! burns your my infact.
Has any one any advice they could offer me.
Thanks
James

Hi James
You wrote that you have the notebook under a year so my questions is did you already clean it?
The notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Every time I do it Im wondering how much dust comes out and after this procedure the notebook is a lot of cooler.
Here is an interesting Toshiba article about this:

Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it yourself!!! ;)

My powerMac G5's rear fans are very loud?

Hi, I recently got a mint condition Dual 2.0 GHZ PowerMac G5. The computer boots perfectly, it's very fast even though it's got only 512MB of ram and so far, it has never crashed, I'm even posting my question with this computer, however, the rear fans are very loud, they're revving very quickly, and if I want to put it to sleep the fans are still very loud and it won't wake, I have to restart the machine. Does anybody how to fix it? I already reseted the PMU, I cleaned the entire computer with air, updated all the way to 10.4.11 since it had 10.4. Another thing I found was that when I opened the case to clean it, I noticed that a plug was loose, right near the ram. I have no idea where it should be connected or what is it for and I don't know if it's related with my problem, but I uploaded a picture of the cable to see if anybody knows where it should go.

Thank you for being quite helpful, and like you said, I checked the diagnostics on system profiler and I also got that it passed on diagnostics. I also checked my computer using techtool deluxe, it said that my CPU was working properly so I'm pretty much in doubt now. What do you think I should do next?
OK, your comment above in the singular is puzzling, and going back to your post with the System Profiler snip shows Number Of CPUs as 1. You should see the following, if both CPUs are recognized:
Machine Name:        Power Mac G5
Machine Model:        PowerMac7,3
CPU Type:                PowerPC 970 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs:    2
CPU Speed:              2 GHz
So the question is why is one of the CPUs not showing up? The system log listing points to a mismatch, which may simply mean that a thermal calibration needs to be run, but if the problem is only dealing with thermal calibration, both CPUs should show up in System Profiler. Since I haven't used Tech Tool since the days of Classic Mac, I am not familiar with how it reports things like a "missing" CPU, for instance.
Not sure whether we are dealing with a truly dead CPU here, a "wrong" CPU, or what. You can compare the EEE numbers against what should be compatible, for instance (see the DV Warehouse discussion of EEE numbers on any of the 5 CPU product pages, plus the listing of some G5 CPU modules for more information).
Finally, you can actually narrow down your model (there are two iterations with the same reported 7.3 designation) by inputting the serial number to the Chipmunk site model lookup and know for sure.

MacBook fan running very loudly

I have been having issues with my MacBook overheating and causing the fan to run very loudly (so loudly I can't listen to music or watch videos on it very well). I have had the motherboard replaced twice this year alone by Apple and I still have coverage till November of this year. They told me if I keep it on a flat surface (like a desk), the problem shouldn't keep happening. More times than none, I only have one application running like Safari or Firefox with only one page open and still the computer is incredibly loud. Any suggestions? I really do not want to take it out to a retail store again unless I can get a new MacBook out of it since it'll be the third time the motherboard has been replaced.

Hp Pavilion 17" Laptop fan gets very loud.

I just bought the HP Pavilion 17-e137cl today at Sam's Club, and I love the computer but I have a complaint. I had to return an Asus that had a terrible trackpad, but it was a lot quiter. The fans on this one kick in within a minute of booting, and it's pretty loud even during web browsing. With Netflix, it can get a little distracting. It does it on Balanced and High Powered battery modes. Any ideas? I've updated the motherboard and processor drivers, but it still gets loud regularly. The temps are reading anywhere from 30-60 degrees so it's not really overheating.

Hello gorebs
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that the fan is constantly spinning. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will do my best to assist you! I will start by providing generic troubleshooting steps for when the fan spins constantly: Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you should accept the possibility of overheating. I believe you should try these steps to address overheating: Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating

27'' iMac fan running very loud?

I recently had to have a logic board and a video card replaced under Applecare, (get it, I have always needed my iMacs fixed). I have 'Carbonite' installed as backup. My activity monitor (when Carbonite is running) is showing that Carbonite is really working the 4 cores of the processor. Between 75 and 99%. My fan NEVER ran really loud before on this iMac, or my last two iMacs. I have used Carbonite as a backup for the last three years. The reason for the logic board and video card burning up MAY have been that the fan did NOT come on.
I'm going through a lot of phone calls with Carbonite to see if they have any answers. In the meantime I'm disabling Carbonite. So far the loud fan is not coming on.
Does anyone else have the problem of a very loud fan running? And why do you think that is?

Hello, let's see some temps & fan speeds please.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

FAN RUNNING VERY LOUD

I am wondering if anyone has had or heard of the fan in a 24" iMac suddenly running quite loud? My computer is a year old and today I turned it on and it sounds like a desktop DELL!! The fan is so loud. Is this an ugly monster rearing it's head? or is this a minor issue that might go away?
Please help.
Cheers

It probably means the computer thinks it is overheating. Maybe it is overheating. As Miriam suggests, intense computational activities generate heat. Possibly dust has accumulated on the inside, or where you are positioning the computer is blocking the flow of air. If the software that controls the fan is not working properly the default mode is to run the fan at full speed. Have you run disk utility to verify your drive to check all seems okay?
Alternatively the computer just thinks it is overheating. There are also hardware analysis tools that come on the disc with your Mac.
There's third party utilities that report temperatures, but Apple says you shouldn't reply upon these, and take your computer to a service center.
This isn't one of those liquid cooled CPUs is it? There was a post about one of those overheating recently and the guy found the coolant had leaked and left a puddle under his computer.

Open activity Monitor and see if you have a 'runaway application'

You may need to start it using OPTION D. Your MBP may have a bad sensor.
