My I-Mac which is only 13 months old is making a whirring noise.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?
Thanks

It may be a fan problem.   Do you have iStat Pro (free download) with which you can easily check the current fan speeds.

  • My MacBook Air which is only 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.  To reconnect I have to click on the internet icon on the top bar and click turn wi-fi off.  I then have to click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects after a few seconds.

    My MacBook Air which is only just over 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.. To resolve it I have to click on the internet icon at the top of the page and then click turn wi-fi off.  I then click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects.  This resolves it for a while, and then it disconnects and I have to go through the same procedure again.  My BT Home hub is fine because my wife's i pad and our phones are all ok.  What can the problem be?

  • How do I complain I bought my daughter a mac, it's only 20 months old and it's completely broken, we have lost all her business info and photos. I am so not happy

    I am so unhappy, I bought my daughter a mac for her birthday and it is completely broken, she took it to the store in London, they told her it is corrupt, it won't turn on and she has lost all her business records and photos. I am her mum and not technical. It cost me so much for her birthday what on earth do I do now. They said she has to fix it herself!!!!!

    And does she have current backups of all her important files?
    Operating a business with a computer and not keeping current backups is a very dangerous thing to do. Hard drives can fail at any time. Experienced IT people will tell you there are two kinds of hard drives - those that have failed and those that are going to fail. The only question is when.
    Best of luck.

  • Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

    I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
    I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
    thanks v much!

    It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue.  The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.

    My new macpro has been running very slow off and on (mostly on) it is only 2 months old I took it into the genius bar and they could not find anything wrong.  I took it home and it ran fine for a short while then started up again. I have watched activity monitor and can see no direct corellation.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Please do not recommend OmniDiskSweeper without the appropriate caution.
    OmniDiskSweeper is a useful utiity, but it needs to be handled with care. You will see many large files and directories which you will not understand the purpose of and the deletion of which will totally wreck your system.
    Use ODS by all means, but do not delete ANYTHING that is not a file you have personally created and only if you are sure you know what it is. Also backup your disk before going off to delete things which in the heat of the moment to free up space you think are not worth keeping, but which you may later regret not having.
    The precautions are noted on the download site, which are there for people to read. Otherwise I do not see my post as mentioning deleting a single file, only (as per the instructions provided by the Developer's) to check where the large files were residing on the drive. Please do not add information to a post that was not included in the first place.

  • IMAC Won't start up its only 6 months old so I am frustrated.

    This is the second time it has done this, the first time it froze when I clicked yes to and update, when I tried to turn it back on I got nothing but 3 beeps, so I got on my daughters PC and trouble shot the MAC finally got it back up and thought it was doing great. But the other day when I got up it was shut down (do not think there was a power outage, saw no evidence of one on other electronics)Any way when I turn it on the fans start it makes the noise like it is starting up then it starts the 3 beeps in a row pause 3 beeps again. I again got on my daughters netbook and tried to trouble shoot, but this time nothing is working. Any advise? Or is anyone else having this problem. I can't believe I am having problems with it already. This is my first MAC and I was so excited to get it, but now not so sure.

    I would use the procedure to reset SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    which is basically disconnecting ALL cables and power, and reconnecting it following a precise procedure. When you reconnect the power cord, if you have been using a crowded or old power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to the wall outlet, at least initially. Then power it up. If that allows it to start up properly, connect just your keyboard/mouse. Use it that way for a while. You should also use this procedure to reset PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If all is well, you can add your peripheral (USB/FireWire) devices one by one. If the problem recurs at some point, check the possibility that the last device you added is causing this problem.
    NOTE: After the SMC reset procedure, if the iMac still does not start up properly, even with nothing except the power cord connected, you should have it looked at by a technician at an Apple Store or Apple-certified shop. If it's only six months old, it still covered by the one-year warranty.

  • My internet's really slow and it's only two months old.

    My internet was pretty fast, and now it's really slow, i don't know if it's because of my wifi or what. But i had downloaded lots of tv show videos and I am thinking that it's happened because of that. But i think if i do delete the videos for good, my internet would still stay the same. So i think it wont make a difference if i do delete it, should i or not? and what should i do about my internet??
    It's only two months old!!!

    Care to share which OS you are using? 
    How large is you HD and how much space do you have left? 
    Check w/your ISP.  Make sure the problem is not on their end.

    Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:
