My mac is really loud and hot

I have a 13 inch Macbook pro. It is running slowly, not holding a charge, taking a long time to charge, staying very hot, and constantly sounds like an airplane attempting to take off.
This has happened once before, and the tech in the Apple Store went into my settings and did something along the lines of clearing out my usage history. It was as if the computer was still trying to run programs even after I had closed them.
Any ideas? I'm getting into finals and can't afford computer problems!

update: I found my Activity Monitor window, and this is the resulting data:
Even with every program closed, it still exhibits the same symptoms. Thoughts?

Fan loud and hot

My Mac pro started running loud and hot after upgrading to osx 10.8.4 and moving to icloud. Tried suggestions posted w/no luck. Pls help as no longer want to use it!

Open Activity Monitor, select All Processes instead of My Processes, then order the processes by CPU. Post an image of what processes are using the most CPU and how much. Also, do an SMC reset.

That is probably because you have one or more bookmarks with a long title.<br />
The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.<br />
You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.<br />

Vibrating mechanism all of a sudden has become really loud and annoying....

As the title states, my Iphone 4 all of a sudden one day started vibrating really loud, even outside of the case. I took my phone to the genius bar but they said that it was within normal working parameters. Problem is, I have another Iphone 4 and no joke, the vibration is 10 times louder. In some cases, I can hear the phone vibrating louder than I can the ring tone. It really is annoying and the vibrating feature is really useful especially when my son is taking naps.
Anyone have similar issues? And if so, how was it resolved?
thanks

If you have a newer iPod that can mulit-task, try turning off the other Apps.
If you have an older iPod, (that cannot multi-task), then try re-starting the iPod.

Really Loud and Annoying Beep with regard to power cord

Hello
I have a N500 and everything: I plug/unplug the power cable or battery becomes low a really loud beep is emitted by the laptop, try as I might I cant seem to get rid of this sound.
Is there anything I can do about it, if I mute the laptop it also mutes, but I would much rather remove it outright.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

CD-ROM driver going crazy! Really loud and spinning at high RPM..HELP!!!

I just bought a refurbished macbook 1.83 with dual celeron - I tried to install some software on it last night and my cd rom drive was really really loud. The cd sounded like it was spinning at the highest RPM and the whole laptop was vibrating. It did this the entire time the CD was in there. I just got this thing and havent used it more than a couple of hours. Has any one had similar problems? Does any one know what it might be?

My CD-ROM (combo) drive is also very loud and has been since I bought the macbook in July. I don't notice any vibrating, but I have to keep the DVD or CD volume very high in order to hear it above the noise of the drive. It doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it now, but next time I'm going to the Apple place in Vienna I'll probably have them check it out. If you find out anything more, please post it, I'm curious if this is normal or not.

Loud and Hot

I bought my G4 MDD recently of Ebay and it is deffinetly the version nicknamed 'Windtunnel'. Its very loud, and hits high temps of 122°F. I know apple released a power/fan replacment kit shortly after the MDD release in 2003. But it is unavailable now from what I understand. Any suggestions for fan replacments/new heatsinks.
P.S. Can someone tell me the pros/cons of useing a copper heatsink to replace the stock aluminum one?

122 degrees F is not that hot for internal temps for CPU or inside your MDD. temps of around 140 degrees are common even. as long as you have an effective cooling system your computer should run fine.
well Copper heatsinks definately cool better. I bought a copper heatsink online and replaced it with the old aluminum one and notice approx 10 degrress cooler temps than previous. Copper handles heat better and cunducts electrical current better, hence the reason its used so much in A/C cooling, plumbing and wiring.

HP DV7-7010US FAN REALLY LOUD AND BATTERY NOT DETECTED..

Hi everyone, I have an HP-DV7 7010US, I got the laptop just about a year ago and recently the fan will spin really loud, like a roaring sound will come out and it will make it really uncomfortable to even use the laptop. I called the HP support and my warranty just ended a couple weeks ago, so I was wondering if anyone knew any solution or had any guides on how to DISASSEMBLE this laptop so I can get a good look for myself. I have tried to look allover the internet and there are no guides or videos on disassembling this exact model... someone make one please! I cannot get 1 last screw out and not sure on how to pop out the keyboard like the previous DV7 models.

Well, the keyboard DOES come off before the top cover because there is one screw hiding under there that connects the top to the base ! (Guess which screw is NOT going to be re-installed !)
Step 4 of the keyboard removal procedure say "Press on the back of the keyboard through the opening in the optical drive bay until the keyboard disengages from the computer." Well that opening is covered by the numeric keypad ! Use a small, very thin bladed screwdriver to pry up the edge of the keyboard. It will pop out.
The base part number has been superseded. From the HP Partsurfer Part 681970-001 is no longer supplied. Please order the replacement, 707999-001. I do not know what differences, if any. there are between the 2.

When I play minecraft my computer gets loud and hot.

When I play minecraft on my macbook pro, my computer's fan turns on which is very loud, and also my computer gets hot. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I make Minecraft Youtube videos and it sounds bad in the video.

Sometimes this happens when the computer has to do a lot of work.... What I mean by that is if you have other applications open or applications that are running it has to work minecraft which you are in and the other apps that are running.... To prevent this from happening is when you are playing Minecraft only have like 1 or 2 apps open in the background at a time and none running then the fans don't have to kick in and make the computer get hot. This has happened to me and I did exactly this and it stopped after the first try of doing it.
Hope this helps,

My ipad2's volume is really loud and has some static even when the volume is down below half. Is my speaker blown and can it be repaired?

The volume is so loud and full of static even at low volume settings. I think the speaker might be blown. I had no volume for a couple of days the I powered it of let it set over night and turned it on the next day. Now the volume is super loud and I am afraid the speaker is blown or going to any time now. Is there an easy fix to this or do I have to send it in for repairs? I have only had this ipad since Christmas.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
 Cheers, Tom

Late 2011 17' MBP suddenly got very loud and hot

http://i.imgur.com/tZ1QZJM.png?1
Was using handbrake when suddenly the fans got loud and stayed like this for several minutes before I decided to cancel my DVD rip.
Looking at iStat the Fans were at 5,500 RPM & CPU at 185.
How bad was this? On occasion this happens but never for more than a few seconds.
Any suggestions?
Also I just upgraded to Mountain Lion last week, if that matters.

i'm afraid it didn't work....
it's like brightness control got stuck on lowest. If I shine a light on the sensor left of the iSight, the keyboard lights turns off, so the sensor works and shouldn't be the source of the problem.

Serious Mac Problem : Why does my mac went really slow and then when I want to re-open it, it won't let me

Yesterday I was working on my computer.
I was about to start a new text on word.
Suddently, the mac keeps on showing me the circle with all the colours for a lot of times.
Then after what maybe 5 or 10 minutes, it got stuck there.
I couldn't do anything except to shut it down or to wait.
So I closed the computer and I came back the other day to see if it wasn't just a little problem.
I open the mac and the Apple sign showed up and I had to wait for atleast 1h so here I am wondering if my computer is broken or just really old to work properly.
If anyone of you knows what's going with my mac or if you ever had that type of problem with your computer and you know how to deal with it,
please help me out.
thank you in advance
Audrey

Resetting SMC as well as NVRAM could solve the problem.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
About NVRAM and PRAM

When I turn on my computer the fan turns on and it is really loud and it makes the computer lag. Then I shut it and let the fan turn off and then when I reopen it, it works fine. If I completely reset my laptop to factory settings it will fix it?

I had spilled water in my backpack and my laptop was inside of my backpack too. Will resetting the computer reset the fan so it will fix the lagging?

If you have spilled water on your MBA, then an appointment at an Apple store should be made and have the technicians examine it. Then you will be in a position to know what to do next.
ciao.

My vibration on my iPhone 5 all of a sudden is really loud and buzzing why?

This happened all of a sudden? Hardware malfunction?? Or fixable??

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.
