Safari Update 8.14.14 causing fan to run loud?

I just did the update for Safari 7.0.6 on 8.14.14 and now it appears that my computer fan is running a lot louder after I did this update. I know that it is not the fan not working correctly or the vent is clogged because I am using Chrome right now to type this message and the fan is running normally. I am wondering if others are having problems with this new update and/or how to solve the problem of the latest Safari update causing the fan to run louder.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Extensions and plug-ins can increase fan speeds not just the browser itself.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
Check the fan noise. If it decreases, turn extensions back one at a time to test until you find the culprit.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

My macbook pro keeps zapping me. even when the charger is not plugged in, my hands keep feeling tingly and the fans are running louder than usual

over the last two days since i updated my software, my laptop seems slower, the fans are running louder, and i keep feeling mild shocks (even without the charger). my hands feel really tingly and a little sore. what is going on?

cheesecakeyumm,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller? (I don’t know if that would have any effect against mild shocks, though.)

I just had the seagate hard drive replaced and the fan is running loud

I just had the seagate hard drive replaced and the fan is running loud

Is your iMac a late 2009 or newer model? Did Apple do the replacement or someone else? There is a documented issue where Apple changed the hard drive heat sensor from outside the drive to inside. If you install a replacement hard drive in a late 2009 or newer iMac that's not an Apple-sourced drive, two things happen ... the fan runs like crazy and the Apple hardware test doesn't work properly.
You can read these OWCS blogs here and here on it.

MacFreePops causes fans to run

While at school I've really gotten used to using Entourage to check my Hotmail accounts. Now that I have my own computer though, I don't plan on having Microsoft Office (I have Office for Windows already, and iWork). I've been using Thunderbird lately, but just noticed MacFreePops is running at a CPU % of over 190, causing my fans to run almost constantly. After I quit MacFreePops my fans stopped.
I really would like to continue using Thunderbird for email, but is there another client like MacFreePops that won't cause my fans to run?

Working fine for now

Radeon HD 4870 and HD 2600 XT causes fans to run faster

I just installed a Radeon HD 4870 in my early o8 Mac Pro in PCIE Slot 1. I also moved my original 2600 XT in PCI slot 3 (have also tried it in slot 2 with the same results). I have 2 monitors connected to the 2600 and 1 32" HD TV connected to the 4870. For some reason now my exhaust fan and HD expansion fan is running faster than before I added the 4870. Exhaust is 1148rpm and HD expansion is 2099. Is this just because of the extra heat generated by the 4870 or is something not right here? Thanks.

Just tried running with only the 4870 and do not get the high fan speeds. It only occurs when both cards are installed.

Fan randomly running loud + computer not responding

I have been facing a problem for the last several weeks on my PowerMac G5 that technicians have not been able to solve either.
The computer randomly stops responding and the fans start accelerating slowly until they reach their top speed and then stay at that speed for indefinite periods of time. I cannot see any pattern in this - it happens both when the computer is running some process and when it is idle.
Each time this happens, the only option for me is to do a hard powerdown (hold down the power button).
I saw another question about fans running at high speed, but that case, it seemed as if the computer continued to respond.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem.
Now before you start taking advice to back up all your data, reformat your hard drive, and reinstall all the software; please take note of a few things:
first off, I'm disappointed/frustrated/melancholy that this is happening to me. I spend $5000+ for a "reliable" Apple computer. Then it doesn't want to turn on because its not safe. Sorry if I drown this post with bitter sarcasm but I am coming to the end of the line with my patience.
I called Apple Care, read a bunch of posts (here and elsewhere), and yes I do know about the SMU Reset button (like that really does anything?).
My problem happened a few weeks ago and I thought nothing of it at first. There was a power outage for a quick second and it turned everything off. When I went to turn on my computer, there was no chime, the red light was on, and the fans were running and eventually began running very loud. After letting it run like that in hopes of the screen lighting up, I turned it off by holding the power button. By the way, there's nothing on the screen and the keyboard doesn't work (I use a wireless keyboard, but I plugged in the OG cord keyboard to push whatever series of buttons recommended by these "geniuses") Trust me, the computer doesn't make it to that part of the boot process, so stop with commandoption+PR or F12 to get the CD out. It doesn't work! What's up with this computer! It can handle all these intense calculations,etc. but a power surge is going to shut it down indefinitely.
So I left the computer came back the next day, turned it on and its fine. Cool, I'm happy. It's Working!! I go on a few weeks, then I go to turn it on this Monday, same problem. But actually a worse situation. I had a client come over and the computer wouldn't work. I looked like a idiot. Couldn't do anything cause my computer didn't want to turn on. I do music production/editing. I use my G5 for running ProTools LE. I have other programs but that is the main one I use. There's nothing wrong with it. It's optimized for use with the mac. So those people who are going to advise me to uninstall all my software and all that - I appreciate your concern but don't give advice when you don't know anything!
So I am getting frustrated. My client left a little disappointed, but what can you do? I tried to call AppleCare on Mon. but it was Memorial Day. So I waited for Tues.
Tues morning, my computer turns on like everything is fine.
I'm happy but cautious. I talk to AppleCare rep. He tells me that it is a common problem they have heard about with the G5's. Wherever blackouts, brownouts, spikes, sags, dips, and other electricity inconsistencies occur, the Power Mac G5 has a breaker in it which flips so it doesn't receive uneven power supply and damage internal components.
I like that feature. Good thinking Apple. Protecting my investment from bad electrical grids. But I don't like the fact my computer has a mind of its own where it decides when it wants to boot or when it wants to sit there and run its fans all loud.
I shut down Tues morn to go to work. I come back in the evening, it doesn't want to boot up. Instead of getting angry trying a bunch of times to turn on/turn off the computer, I leave my house all together and go and have a few drinks. I come home ,don't even look at my computer, and go to bed.
I wake up Wed. morning. Go to turn on my computer. Successful boot. It's running. Okay, I think, I'm going to get down to the problem. I read all the logs, not like I know every piece of info, but just to see what's happening. Everything looks fine. I decide to run the AppleCare CD Tech Tool. It says restart holding down C. I do that. When the gray Apple Logo comes up, all this writing about kernals comes up and it tells me to restart or shutdown. I shutdown and attempt to restart, same problem: no chime, red light on, and fans eventually spin loud. Now the CD is stuck in there. I'm going to take it to the Apple Store tomorrow to if these "geniuses" can figure it out.
(Just a side note: Apple calls them geniuses, but its hard for me to think some disconnected college kid with a bad haircut and questionable social skills knows what's up with the power supply issues of a computer; maybe I'm wrong, but you can run your diagnostics and look at the chart of what to do and all that BUT Apple needs to listen to the people)
I am going to get a UPS (uninteruptable power supply) with a clean sine wave output to curb the issue at my end. It's not my fault I live in a area that receives uneven power output. I live in Los Angeles. Summer is starting up and I think its going to be hot, so blackouts, power dips and sags are inevitable. I just don't understand why Apple hasn't considered this problem and fixed it with something:
A recall to change the power supply, Is it something on the logic board?, are they going to reimburse me for lost income (Ha, yeah right)
I really want to know how many people are having this problem?
From what I've heard, it is a common problem.
So I think we need a common solution.
If its so common, it must be the computer. We are all going to live in different areas where the power may vary. Not all of us have the consistent power flow of 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA. So if it is such a common problem, Apple needs to fix it.
I can't spend more than five grand on a super duper computer and have it wuss out on some power issues.
Its a loss of income and productivity to me.
I can't have that anymore.
Sometimes my computer turns on, sometimes it doesn't.
I bought my PowerMac G5 in April 2006, its been about a month and a half and I'm having these problems.
Thank you for your time.
If anyone else has been having this problem, I feel for you.
It was been very difficult for me not to curse in this post, but I have tried to extend the same respect to all that use these discussion boards to create dialogue, find help, and create solutions.
LETS FIX IT!
Peace,

Fans continuously run loud on late 2011 13" MacBook Pro

Hey All,
I hav a late 2011 13" MacBook Pro and about a week ago the fans began to run loudly and constantly no matter what I'm doing-whether checking email or running a dozen layers in a Photoshop project. Anyone have any clues? Running Lion, 4 GB RAM--bought an 8 GB kit but not yet installed, would that help? is there a firmware update or something?
Thanks for any assist.

i'm having the same problem too, with my early 2011 mbp 13". recently downloaded iStat pro, and found out that my fans are usually running about 6000rpm, and my CPU temp is above 90. i'm using preview, word/excel and listening to music.
not to beat a dead horse (again) but none of this happened when i was on snow leopard. i upgraded straight from SL to ML, and a host of problems ensued (mostly battery health/life). is it something that can be tracked again to a faulty piece of hardware in the system that was highlighted after the OS upgrade?

My Fan is running loud all the time without CPU-Stress

Fan constantly running loud - iStat reporting 0 rpm

Hi guys,
hope somebody can help me, my iMac suddenly started to make a very loud noise, the fans are spinning at high RPM!
I already tried to reset the SMC, unplugged my Mac for a couple of hours, plugged it in while pressing the power button - unfortunately nothing helped. When starting while holding the power button, it gets even noisier, therefore i expect only one of the fans is running at full or near full speed constantly.
I now tried to install some hardware monitors to check on temperature/fan speed. iStat nano is reporting low temperatures, but the strange thing is that it gives 0 rpm for the CPU fan, even though its clearly running at high revs...
I don't have Apple care and my iMac 24" is now roughly two years old. Any help is highly appreciated!
thanks,
A

Try doing a SMC AND PRAM reset by:
1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.

Mac Pro firmware update (AUG.'07) causes fan spinning@ loud volume-

Just ran the Mac Pro firmware updater from software update and now the fan is on extremeley loudly as soon as I boot-up and *does not quiet down at all* during operation. Also, there is no power light on the front of the Mac Pro tower. I read somewhere that this was supposed to improve fan performance but is has worsened it dramatically.
I read that this firmware update is the first of its kind to not require the removal of RAID disks… but I have a RAID disk so it gets me wondering that maybe it's related…?
Mac Pro 2 X 3GHz Dual-Core running 10.9.10
Any ideas? I have tried resetting the PRAM, but nothing changed. Also, I cannot shutdown consisstenly, I have to power-down with a hard reset.
Thanks,
-Phil

A. You should apply it from a non-RAID.
B. You might want to reset the SMC.
*Note: This update requires a Macintosh-formatted disk or*
*partition. If you are starting up using a RAID (Redundant Array of*
*Independent Disks) subsystem, you must connect a Macintosh-formatted*
*storage device to apply this update.*
Some USB and FireWire devices may prevent firmware updates from
installing correctly. If you are having trouble installing an update
try disconnecting non-essential devices and use only an Apple keyboard,
mouse, and display.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macprosmcfirmwareupdate11.html
... and you read that it doesn't matter if the BOOT volume is a RAID?
There was/are some mis-statements out there. Booting from a RAID is not supported. Removing a RAID array was never an issue (non-boot volumes).
And me, I always avoid installing using Software Update and go to Apple Downloads.

Portege R700 -- disabling Intel AMT in BIOS causes fan to run constantly

I recently purchased a Portege R700-1321, which shipped with BIOS 1.40. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64. I have attempted to disable Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) on this machine by going into the ME BIOS (via ctrl-P at bootup), setting an admin password, and then disabling ME completely. However, when I reboot after disabling ME, the fan starts to run at high speed and runs continually so long as the machine is powered on. Re-enabling ME in the BIOS and rebooting again causes the fan to behave normally.
I believe this is a BIOS rather than Windows problem because upon booting the machine, the fan steps up from low to high speed over the course of about a second before the Windows startup screen appears. Windows appears to be fine despite the continually running fan, so AFAIK this is not the freezing-up issue that has been reported for R700s, despite the similar involvement of the fan.
Is anyone else seeing a similar issue?

I noticed that when battery is charging the miniPCI temperature spikes to 50 degrees. Unplugging the AC or reaching the charging threshold causes sudden drop in the temperature. The interesting thing is that the minipci sensor is near the southbridge (near the ram) and the battery sensor itself stays stable at 30 degrees.

SyncServer constantly using high CPU, causing fans to run

Has anybody found a solution for when the SyncServer process runs wild? I'm running OS X 10.7.1. In the last day or so I've had a problem where I find my laptop's fans are constantly running. Opening Activity Monitor shows the SyncServer process eating a consistent 20-30% of my CPU. I've left it going all day and it never stops.
From what I've been able to determine so far, the SyncServer process doesn't cause any problems until I launch iTunes and sync my iPhone. After that it keeps running. I upgraded to iTunes 10.4.1 yesterday, but I _think_ this problem started just beforehand when I was still running 10.4.
If anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it.

I resolved a similar situation. I am running OS 10.6.8 and noticed my fan was on constantly. ActivityMonitor showed the syncserver process using about 15-30% of CPU cycles, with iCal showing up suspiciously high on the CPU list. I downloaded syncrospector v4.0 from http://goo.gl/logoG (I got that lead from http://help.jools.me/kb/21) and running that app I could see that iCal was syncing about once per second! A bit more searching took me to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, and there I found the answer.
"If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 4: "
I hadn't noticed the little icon in the menu bar, but there it was with an exclamation mark inside it. Clicking on that I saw a message that there were "conflicts" (about 10, it turned out). I resolved those and the syncserver problem went away.
Now, there is probably an underlying problem, still. Just because there are conflicts between iCal and my iPhone, iCal should not be trying to sync more than once per second. For now, though, I am content. I'm not going to try to figure out what was really going on.
By the way, this all started when my daughter plugged her iPhone (an old one of mine) into my laptop. Evidently the old calendar entries on that phone for some reason conflicted with old entries on iCal.

Upgrading to 10.9.4 causes slower startup time & system gets hot and causes fan to run during startup for no reason! Never did this before.

Macbook pro 7,1, osx 10.9.4.. just upgraded from 10.9.3. 10.9.2 was installed fresh in January.
Before that I had snow leopard. Never before has the fan turned on during startup in the 3.5 years I've owned this machine. That means the laptop gets hot? Why would it get hot at startup? And it takes 5-10 seconds longer to boot now too.

Same problem here. I just upgraded from 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 and the fan hasn't stopped since. Before seeing this post I was starting to get VERY worried. Now I'm thinkin..... Apple - ya gotta fix something here!!
