Mac osx 10.8.1 high fan

I upgraded to the latest version of OSX Mountain lion yesterday (10.8.1) and my battery is only lasting 90 minutes and the fans are constantly on with hardly anything running, just a web browser. The fans are constantly on and the computer is rather warm. My macbook is a Mac Book Pro mid 2012 Any thoughts?

Download and install Temperature monitor from the Bresink website:
http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
When the MBP gets 'hot', open Activity Monitor and set it to show 'All Processes'and '%CPU' to display values from high to low. Post images of both for examination.
You may be experiencing a 'Runaway Application' or there may be other reasons for the high temperatures.

Filr 1.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.9.4 High CPU and won't start

At some point Filr 1.0.2 stopped working. We see CPU at 102% and Finder shows Not Responding as well when Filr is running. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but not if there is a config file somewhere that could be causing this? She doesn't remember doing an update to anything recently.
I've got a Mac and everything seems A-OK. Some versions, just different model MBP.

Hi,
I had the exact same issue. New MBP, new Adobe CC and I was getting the Verdana error.
I had recently installed Microsoft office and it looks like it moved some of my fonts from inside the library/fonts/ folder into a sub folder called "Microsoft".
Once I moved Verdana back into the main font folder dreamweaver is working fine again.

Fan noise after downloading Mac OSX 10.4.6

After I downloaded Mac OSX 10.4.6 I noticed that my fans made a little noise and seem to be somewhat louder. This was not the case prior to me downlaoding the new version of Mac OSX. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what is the remedy?

I have an MAC OSX 10.6.7 and when I turn it on the fan keeps running. I shut down/turn on and it's the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.

jean156,
I am a little confused, you are posting in an iMac forum however your profile only indicates you have a MacPro. While I agree a SMC reset may help please carefully read the link The hatter provided because different Mac's have a different processes for resetting the SMC.
In the mean time you may want to update your profile (Your Stuff in upper right and click Profile) and also please post in the correct forum to avoid confusion.

Mac Pro freezes while asleep and fans go to high

I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to my Mac Pro Dual Quad Core MacPro3,1, but it has carried across an update to 10.6.5 and through a reinstall of Snow Leopard. Also, I don't have it on my MacBook Pro. So, I'm posting it in the Mac Pro forum.
Periodically (but now more frequently), when I go to my Mac Pro in the morning, after it has let itself go to sleep, the fans are on high and the machine won't wake up. I can't mount the machine's hard disk remotely from my MacBook Pro on the home network (which I usually can) and I have to hold the power switch down to force a restart. I've checked the Console logs (all messages) and the last message is usually sometime in the morning, sometimes as late as 5 or 6 am. But, there is no common thread to the last messages before the machine freezes, so I can't use that to identify what process was running when the machine froze.
This past weekend, I got up at 5:45 am and heard the fans running high and then went to watch the Formula 1 race on TV. The machine was frozen again when I got back to it at 8 am. So, the problem will happen whenever it wants, but only in the night (before 8 am and after midnight).
I've tried the following, with no success:
• Reinstalled OS X 10.6 and followed the update path
• Reset the SMC and PRAM
• Rebooted the machine before going to bed, so that no user login process or software was running at the time of the freeze.
What is a good process to use for debugging this problem, from this point, since the Console Logs don't give me any consistent information? Is there a way to make the Console logs more verbose?
How can I get a list of all the maintenance processes that autostart on my machine at night? I'm assuming the problem is with a process installed by third party software, since I didn't clear the problem when I reinstalled a fresh copy of OS X.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I can't believe I missed this thread. I was sure I was the only one. This has been happening to me for months now, and of course out of warranty. I've tried so many things. Mac Pro Dual Core Intel. Fans go bananas for no discernible reason (according to Activity Monitor). I often return to an un-wakeable display despite the fans going full blast. Sometimes while I'm working, the thing just puts itself to sleep and doesn't want to wake up. Several times a week, the system hangs. (There's usually nothing complicated being done, although using iPhoto is pretty much guaranteed to freeze everything.) Almost always takes more than one hard restart in a row to get it back up, sometimes a DOZEN or more. Have no idea whether attempting a safe boot helps reduce the number of tries but it seems to. It's set never to sleep; I've reset the SMC and PRAM and deleted video preferences (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573). The issue pre-dated installing Snow Leopard and was unchanged by it.
By the way, the computer is at its most silent now - 600rpm each on power supply and exhaust fans, and 500 each on CPU and expansion according to iStat - and it's still pretty loud. Anyone else have that issue?

It will run through Lion. You can purchase the Snow Leopard DVD - $29.00 from Apple's Online Store, update it to 10.6.8 then use the App Store to purchase and download Lion - $30.00. Or you can visit a local Apple Store and purchase the USB Lion Flash Drive installer for $69.00.
Regardless of which you choose to do you will have to initially erase your drive to make a clean install, so be sure you have a reliable backup before you do anything.
For future reference you should not post serial numbers or any personal information in these open forums.

File dialog crashes LabVIEW 2014 on Mac OSX Yosemite

I know that Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) is not technically supported by LabVIEW 2014. If that's the only answer to this question, then so be it.
The following causes LabVIEW 2014 to crash on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite):
1. Run the native File Dialog in LabVIEW 2014 (Express VI) , using "New or Existing File" as the selection mode
2. Select "New File..." when the file dialog appears
3. Enter anything as the file name and click OK
4. LabVIEW either crashes immediately, or hangs indefinitely and must be force quit.
Is there an update for LV 2014 (and the RTE) that does support Yosemite?
This bug makes deploying apps to the Mac basically impossible, Yosemite is the latest OS. Does anyone have a workaround for the issue?
Thanks.

LabVIEW 2014 SP1 seems to solve that problem here on my Mac OSX 10.10 system.
Now Apple may be nice for end users, but all those Apple fan boys sure would think a little different about it, if they had to write programs on the Mac. Apple keeps changing its APIs and their behaviour continously, inventing new APIs (which is fine) in a rapid pace, only to depreciate and remove older APIs at almost the same speeed!
Microsoft sometimes goes to the other extreme with maintaining backwards compatibility but working with Apple systems surely isn't easy as a programmer (unless maybe when one uses their high level click and point together web design applications, but I don't know that).

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

Linksys Connect CD/Downloadable Software compatibility problem with Mac OSX 10.4.11

I purchased a Linksys E1200 and I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. As I have a G4 eMac, I cannot run a higher operating software. The CD that came with the E1200 will not launch the Linksys Connect software, as it is not compatible with Mac OSX 10.4.11. When I download Linksys Connect software from the support section of the Linksys site (version 1 or 2), same problem. I have read that I can use the E1200 with Mac OSX 10.4.11, but how? Getting very frustrated and would appreciate any practical advice/help. Thanks!

Hi bassist71,
You may actually do the setup manually. It's done by accessing the setup page of the route through 192.168.1.1 and configuring the settings according to your Internet connection type.

Mac OSX 10.5.8 Leopard & HP Photosmart 3180

I have a HP photosmart 3180 and recently upgraded to 10.5.8 "still leopard". I recently looked to install this printer again on network, so I went to hp site and downloaded latest driver (marked 10.4, 10.5) downloaded and installed. Hooked printer up and everything seemed to work fine, until I tried to restart. Upon restart the MOUSE FREEZES and the Apple bluetooth app launched looking for my mouse?? The mouse freezes in upper screen. I tried a different usb connection, nothing? I tried to restart again, zapping pram, nothing? starting to get anxious (computer is less than year old & printer is only three years old) unplugged all usb devices and restarted again.....ok everything works again...plugged in printer ok....restart same problem. So now I have narrowed it down to the printer which for all intent and purpose is still brand new, maybe printed about 50 pages in all.
Since I narrowed it down to be an HP issue, I called HP support. First they wanted $35 because my printer is TOO old for phone support, out of warranty. Was given an option to use chat support by operator. I tried Chat support and was told they do not offer chat support for Apple? (I was sent there by their operator that knew I was running Mac OSX) I was then offered email support, still waiting. During my conversation with HP representative I was basically told that they no longer support that model (because it's 3 YEARS OLD!) I could pay and upgrade to another printer. When asked about the HP policy and driver/hardware support for printers more than 3 years old, I was told " since they release so many new printers, they do not offer full support for hardware more than 3 years out."
Have I lost my faith in Apple? NO it just reaffirmed that non-apple products and support are crap.
They will not help you unless you pay another $35....in which case I was told again this is only "best we can do" help and will not guarantee that they can get things to work. Way to stand by your product, HP !!
So, I will never by another HP product again as they refuse to stand by their own hardware past 3 years!, by their own admission. I can use the printer as long as I unplug it when not in use. lol

Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

Good evening all,
Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again.
I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something.
It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Errold

Hi,
Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

For any help with this proccess I would highly recommend contacting Dlink support.

Running Mac OS 8.6 software on Mac OSX

I received an old copy of a game I used to play that runs on both Windows and Macintosh OS 8.6 or higher. There is a note that says, to install this software on Mac OSX, I must double-click the CD Icon and then double-click the AutoPlay Icon. However, when I go to double-click the AutoPlay Icon, it says the Classic environment is no longer supported and there is a "no play" icon through the picture. Is there some way I can still download it?

Download and set up SheepShaver.
