My iMac 24" (2009) Fan Runs Too Long

The fan on my iMac sometimes comes on in the middle of the night and runs continually.
Sometimes a restart will turn the fan off. But what would cause it to run continually?

See if resetting the SMC helps
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computers power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computers power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

As a part of OCDM environment setup for Practice we were successful installing following :
* Supported Enterprise Linux
* Oracle DB 11g R2 (OLAP & MINING option)
* OWB was already installed as a part of Oracle DB 11gR2 - just unlocked the OWB accounts.
* Installed OBIEE 11g R2 installation - Installation successful and able to open url's. (analytics and BI Publisher etc.) - Issue with login account.
* Installation of Communication Data Model (First Installation type from OCDM Installer)
When we try to install Sample Reports at same stage the screen remain open and runs too longer with No progress.
The Installation process for OCDM Sample Reports is given in the attached doc with screenshot and the log file is also included in the attached document.
Please let us know the following two issue:
1) How to login to Analytics after OBIEE 11gR2 installed on Linux - ( in our case we use user as Administrator and tried password same as username, even checked with the user weblogic and other but no success. Please provide us the information which give details(document) about the Administartion of OBIEE 11gR2 on Linux).
2) The issue with installation of OCDM Sampple Reports though successful installation of OCDM Data Model.(First Installation Type from OCDM Installer)
Thanks & Best Regards,
Amol Thite

Hi Please check my answers
1) How to login to Analytics after OBIEE 11gR2 installed on Linux - ( in our case we use user as Administrator and tried password same as username, even checked with the user weblogic and other but no success. Please provide us the information which give details(document) about the Administartion of OBIEE 11gR2 on Linux).
The current OCDM version does not support BIEE 11g, so you need to install BIEE 10g. In next release(will be available soon), OCDM will support BIEE 11g.
2) The issue with installation of OCDM Sampple Reports though successful installation of OCDM Data Model.(First Installation Type from OCDM Installer)
The importing will take a long time, you can login database with ocdm_sample_sys/ocdm_sample_sys, and use "select count(*) from tabs;" to monitor the import process.

BBP_GET_STATUS_2 running too long

HI,
the program BBP_GET_STATUS_2 is running too long , even for little number of records also .
how can we speeed up the process .
regards
venga
Edited by: vengaladasu on Nov 3, 2008 2:56 PM

Hi Venga,
maybe the note 1115597 could help as well. Depending on your release there are BBP_GET_STATUS_2 notes also notes for the backend system:
Backend 4.6C: 1123548
Backend 4.70: 1123548
Backend 5.00: 1123548
Backend ECC 2005 ( SAP_APPL 600): 1123548
If they don't help, the issue should be analysed by performance trace.
Kind regards,

Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?

Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
Thank you in anticipaction.

Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Scripts run too long. Can I set limit?

On some websites I get the firefox msg that a script is running too long and do I want to stop it. I would like to shorten the time it take to give me that message.
http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=37.78558731&lon=-122.43565369&zoom=13&pin=San%20Francisco%2c%20CA
is a case where it happens frequently

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.max_script_run_time
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Can the fan break from running too long?

Yesterday I had a high-energy application running on my 13'' MacBook Pro Retina for a good five hours straight. I've used this application a couple times, but never for this long; the fan always runs with this application. Needless to say, the fan was running pretty loud for a while and the MacBook got pretty hot. Today, I launched the same application and the fan is noticeably a lot quieter. Also, the application seems to run a bit slower with some hiccups, wheras before it had run seamlessly. Is it possible I somehow damaged the fan by running the application too long?

It's possible for a fan to burnout. Apple store can replace, not too epensive, you may be able to find online if you do not have isues pulling the MBP apart. How to vids online as well.
You can download iStat to check fan speeds, temps, etc...

Mac fan running too loud after update

I have a Macbook pro 13". (mid 2012)
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Storage: 500 gb
After updating to Yosemite 10.10, my macbook pro's fan is running too loud and producing a lot of heat. I reseted the SMC several times but it didn't help. Surprisingly, The fan also runs loud even if only 1 application is open.
Please advice me what should I do.
Thank you in advance!

I have the same model and I've had the same problem for a few days. I didn't really have problems with heat, but my fan was going crazy even though I was just browsing the Internet. Maybe you're logged into iCloud and have some activity going on. What worked for me was going to:
1. System Preferences
2 iCloud
3. Uncheck things like "Keychain", "Find my Mac", etc. (things you don't need/use)
For me, I unchecked everything and logged out of iCloud. After several minutes, my fan is super quiet and not acting up! Hope this helps.

Imac I7 2009 fan noise and vibration

I just got a refurbished imac 27 2009 i7, with 2TB hard drive. The fans are always noticeably on. Also, the top of my desk has low level vibration from the imac. Apple is willing to give me a full refund. Will an i3 be quieter?
Thanks

Scott is correct -- this is not normal for the '09 i7 (I have one and it's very quiet). As for the i3 the speed depends on what you intend to do. The i7 is a great machine for apps that require a lot of horsepower like video encoding. If you are doing mostly web surfing and document prep the i3 is probably more than enough.

Fans running too fast on MBP Core II Duo

Hi there,
I'm starting a new post 'cause the older one was getting unfruitful. Let me wrap up quickly. I've got both a MBP Core Duo and a MBP Core II Duo. I had notice that the fans on my MBP Core II Duo were very noisy compared to the MBP Core Duo. So I ran smcFanControl (NO I HAVEN'T CHANGED THE SETTINGS AND NO smcFanControl ISN'T BAD FOR YOUR COMPUTER), I just used it for MONITORING PURPOSES. Ok.
I've capture both results in movies so you can see the differences. I've used a cloned system and compiled some code to give the cpu some meat. Here are some behaviors I've noticed:
http://web.mac.com/michaf/iWeb/MacBook%20Pro%20Fans/MacBook%20Pro%20Fans.html
(Just run both movies at the same time)
1) The MBP Core II Duo runs at a minimum of 2000 rpm vs 1000 for the MBP Core Duo
2) The MBO Core II Duo shoots very quickly and hangs it's fans much higher.
3) After a while the MBP Core II Duo has a temp of around 68 with fans running at 4500! The Core Duo instead at a similar temp is down to 2300!
I'm recording with my machines and it's barely usable with the fans.
Has anyone noticed the same thing or is it my machine?
Micha

The movies in your link don't appear to be working so can't comment on those.
Your post confirms what I suspect is true about C2D temps compared to CD temps, which is that the C2D is fundamentally no cooler (possibly hotter) than the CD, but Apple have doubled the fan speed in the C2D to make the C2D run cooler.
Seems to me that Apple bent over backwards to make the CD quiet, and this resulted in them running too hot, and with the C2D they have swung the other way.
I am using Fan Control 1.1 on my CD to steer a middle course. I have left it with 1000 rpm min but set it to start ramping the fan speed earlier and more steeply as temp rises. So most of the time it is quiet, and high temps which can be reached with the Apple settings are avoided.
Doesn't help your C2D problem much except to suggest that you use Fan Control 1.1 to devise settings to suit your purposes. I suggest you have Hardware Monitor on continuously (hidden) so that you see what has happened to the temp over typical working sessions using different settings in Fan Control. When you have found what works you don't need to keep Hardware Monitor active.
C2D can't need 2000 rpm the whole time!
Mike

Imac (Intel based) fan runs continuously and loudly.

Have done a SMC reset, and the fan is still running loudly and continuously. Only 1 application open - firefox. This has been an ongoing, continuous problem.
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

Have had the same problem .. have reset the PRAM & SMC, doubled the amount of RAM. Fans runs & Activity Monitor shows most of RAM is used up with nothing open. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a Mac Book with 4g of RAM, Apple Support showed no hardware problems. ????

Cooling fan runs too much

I've had my MacBook for about 5 months. Recently (the past month or so) I've noticed the cooling fan running a a lot. Even if it's in a cool environment, sitting on a desktop, it will sometimes run constantly. There are only a couple of applications open and no CD/DVD in the drive. This problem is random; for instance, today it started after I restarted my machine. It's been running non-stop for a half hour now. I do regular updates, including the latest firmware update last week. Any ideas?

I'm not surprised. Last time mine did it is was a printjob that was running. I didn't try to print but something I looked at or did caused it to start.
Go back into activity monitor and high light the process. Then click the stop sign looking icon to quit that process.

Fan runs too fast after SMC update

About a week ago I updated the SMC of my Macbook 7.1 (mid 2010).
I even leaved it sometime (days or weeks) on the list of software updates without installing, as it said I should not touch until it was done and it was to fix some compatibility with hardware that I don't have. So I did it at a time I would not do anything.
Since then, the fan began to work at full speed almost permanently, sometimes it slows down to normal operation (really normal, increase rotation when the device heats up, slow down to 2k rpm when it is cold).
I have formated the HD twice, because I tought that had done something wrong, but the problem persisted, so I used the hardware diagnostics and found two error numbers, one for the fast run:
4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 110.00
And another for the extensive test:
4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 1.000
I searched these numbers but the results are not good nor precise, peaple said it's related to thermal detector or the logic board permanently damaged.
My current SMC version (after the update) is 1.60f6
I don't know the old version of SMC.
I installed iStat PRO widget, from where I can see that all thermometers are operating normally (these must be the source of the control of the fan) and the fan running at 6,200 rpm.
I even tried to install Fan Control system pref component, but it can only increase the commanded speed of the fan at any time, never decrease.
I also tried to reset SMC as said in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 , sugested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1306035
Is there a way to roll back to the old SMC version?
Or to install some program to overwrite the wrong control?
Thank you.

you need to bring it to an Apple store or AASP to have it properly diagnosed. Only Apple certified technicians have access to what those diagnostic codes mean.

Fans running too fast-6K rpm

I noticed the fans running fast a couple days ago. There does not seem to be a reason of this—temps are low (I think): nothing is reading higher than 46°.
What might be causing this? What should I do about it? Is there a danger aside from burning out the fans?

There are a couple of other things to try:
Open Activity Monitor and see if you have an out of control process. Select "All Processes" at the top and CPU in the bottom bar. Look for something hogging the CPU. Sometimes a printer process will hang up and do this, but it could be almost anything.
Run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It may be that a thermal sensor has failed or become unplugged, and if so, the fans are set to run all out by default.
Burning out the fans is the first danger. Burning out your computer because the fans aren't cooling it is the next danger.
Good luck!
