Satellite A300 - fan starts running every 2 mins for about 30 secs

Hi
I wanted to know if its normal that the fan starts running on my Satellite A300-1hv every 2 mins for about 30 secs?
This is happening continuously. I am on vista maximum performance power.
Help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, this is nothing unusual because the fan starts rotating if a certain temperature level was reached.
There is an temperature sensor and if the temperature goes to a higher level the cooling modules begins to cool the internal devices like CPU, GPU.
If the temperature decreases then the fan slows down.
It seems there is nothing wrong and you shouldnt be worried

HOW TO SCHEDULE A JOB TO RUN EVERY 30 MINS WITHOUT USING SCHEDULAR?

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule the job to run every 30 mins for 10 am to 10 pm. I ran into problems using odi schedular. Let me tell you what i did..
i have chosen the active mode between 10 am to 10 pm
selected on startup/simple.
and on the repetitions tab selected many times with 30 mins duration.
the problem was-----
a)it was not stopping at 10 pm but continues after 10 pm
b)randomly picking up more times than the 1/2 hour duration.
looking for---
a solution that runs my scenario every 30 mins from 10 am to 10 pm without using the schedular...which i cannot trust.
Regards
Venkat

Venkat,
Here is an alternate solution that i can think of:
create a package with the following components:
Variable(Refresh) -> OK -> Execute StartScen(YourJob) in Asynchronous mode -> odiSleep(30 mins) -> Loop to Variable Refresh
Variable (Refresh) -> KO -> odiSleep(30 mins) {if the refresh of the variable fails to get any value then skip the Job execution}
The Refresh query should be
select 1 from dual where to_char(sysdate, 'hh24mi') between '1000' and '2200'

How to schedule a script in crontab for running every 45 mins.

Hi All,
Sorry for asking unix question in this forum.But nowhere i will get response like this forum.

Thanks,

Try this one by making following changes in crontab
file by 'crontab -e, command
45 * * * * /oracle/oracle/abc.shIt's not every 45min, but every hour (a quarter before the following hour).

Have you tried this yet?
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support

How does one ensure an automatic save function every 5 mins for any document you are working on. Yesterday I erased a doc I was on and had to rework from the start.

How does one ensure an automatic save function every 5 mins for any document you are working on. Yesterday I erased a doc I was on and had to rework from the start.

Well I understand that auto save is already present and saving your doc every 5 mins. But then why do you think, this did not happen yesterday in the following case?? I wrote one page of a long document and wanted to format it before proceeding. I selected the part to be formatted and instead erased it. I could not find that page again. I had to rewrite the matter.

MacBook Pro's fans start running at high speed when the computer is asleep. Normal?

The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?

This is not normal. See if a SMC reset solves the problem:

Could be over-heating. Try cleaning out the air vents.

Another problem: fan starts running nonstop and messages says to restart

I recently had my hard drive crash and with help from this forum, I was able to replace the hard drive myself last week. I upgraded to Leopard and all seemed well. Now this has happened 3 times: the fan starts running nonstop and loudly and the computer displays a message that I need to restart my computer. The first time it happened, I restarted and it was okay for a few minutes, then started up again, so I shut it down for the night. The next morning, I reset SMU and it worked all of yesterday with no problems until about midday today, when I heard the fan going again and the same message displayed. I currently have it shut down and unplugged to reset the SMU yet again, but am wondering if this is a symptom of more serious problems?
The power supply was replaced a little over a year ago at a local Apple store. Of course, my AppleCare ran out about a month ago. I was really hoping to get another year or two out of this machine with the new hard drive! When I verified the hard drive yesterday, Disk Utility said it was fine. Are there any other troubleshooting things I can do? Thanks for any help with this.

Thanks (once again) for the help! That's a great web site. So far I have run Apple Hardware Test and it says no problems. I verified the disk and it says it appears to be okay. I repaired disk permissions and it did find a couple that it repaired. There were also several SUID files it said would not be repaired, but I found an article that said these warnings can be ignored. I will keep my fingers crossed that the disk permissions repair will help. Otherwise, I will call Apple and see if they will do anything for me. It doesn't seem like it is the power supply again, I'm having totally different symptoms...but who knows? I don't think I will put any more money into this Mac. I would probably buy a new one, but I sure would like to delay it for a year or two, if possible. When it's working okay, this computer is still more than adequate for everything I do.

Sattelite A200-1N9 fan starts running faster and become loud

Hi,
So i have strange problem. When my fan starts running faster he bocome so loud i can't work.
What is more strange when he bocome loud i can't start any new programs and programs already running freezes.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Sincerely
Per Aspera

Hi
This happens because an process running in the background stresses the CPU up to 100% and this creates more heat dissipation and the fan kick on and runs faster to cool down the CPU. Additionally the CPU is locked and therefore the system freezes for some time.
You have to check what process or tool stresses the CPU.
You can start task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and check the tab Processes.
Here you can see in the CPU column what process use most of CPU performance.

ITunes 10.5 starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason

iTunes 10.5 installed on a Vista system to perform the iPhone 5.0 iOS upgrade. Now iTunes starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason. Exiting iTunes will close it (and, of course, remove it from the Task manager list of running applications), but in a while it will restart all over again.
Thoughts?

Timer to generate on/off signal every 20 mins for 10 sec

I need to create a simple timer. It comes on every 20 minutes for 10 seconds, then switches off until another 20 minutes has passed, and so it repeats itself. I want to open a valve with this every 20 mins for 10 secs, then close it. This is to work with a field point device that we have on our shelves.

Here is a simple solution.
Create a while loop, inside the while loop put a sequence in step 1 place a wait vi and set the value to 20 min (remember this input is in ms so 20 min = 1200000) in step two place the code to send the on signal (hardware output I assume) in the third step of the sequence place another wait for 10 seconds (10000 ms) and finally place the off sequence last. This solution is very processor friendly. If you just compair time stamps inside a loop, the loop will be continiously checking the time and your CPU use will max out. You can place an inherent wait in the loop but the responsivness (accuracy of your timming) will be reduced. The wait statment will pause your program until the timer (I believe it is linked to the OS interupt system) expires. This solution allows for multiple threads (loops) to run cuncurrently with little extra overhead. I have used timers to generate alarms in the past where the sequence after the time expiring fires an occurance to drive code in other loops. Hope this helps

HELP!!! LOADING ICON SHOWS EVERY 5 SECONDS FOR ABOUT 3SECONDS!

I have a BlackBerry Curve 9250 for about 7 months now. I have no problems with my phone and it works well and I love it. But something must have happened cause the black loading icon on the center of the screen keeps on showing every 5 seconds for about 3seconds and my phone freezes everytime the loading icon appears.
I left the house in the morning, my phone's battery is fully charged. I did nothing special with my phone, just the usual calls and texts. I didn't download any apps either. But I was using wifi during the day so when afternoon came, the battery was already orange. When I arrived home around 10 in the evening, I checked my phone and the battery was already red so I plugged it in to charge. When it started charging, that's when the loading icon started appearing. It appears every 5seconds and it freezes the screen for about 3seconds. Now that the battery is fully charged, it still does the same thing. But now, it appears every 3 seconds and freezes for about 2seconds. What to do????

Hi yenbaluyut
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Have you tried a Battery pull Restart on your BlackBerry ?
Please do it by removing the Battery while your device is Powered On then wait for at least a minute then reinsert it back, your device may take a long reboot . After reboot please check if your current issue resolves.
If issue persists then you have to investigate it further ! That spining clock or hourglass appears when our device undergo low memory or if any application runs in the background. Sometime A battery pull restart is enough to resolve this issue, If we press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) look if any other apps. are running.
Also Check the File Free at Options > Status > Check File Free , In addition have you enabled Memory Cleaner on your device? Options > Security > Memory Cleaner, is it enabled ? If it is then disable it because It is also responsible for device freezing and clocking.
If that doesn't help then you can follow this Knowledge Base article :

Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.

Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils. Go figure.
Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer. Either one could end up being the solution.
Good luck with it.

Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst.

My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then turns back on, I have updated the software so thats not the problem, anyone have any ideas?

Do you have a case on the iPhone or have you damaged it in anyway? If you have a case, try testing without the case.
Also, try restoring the iPhone and testing it as a new device.
If that doesn't take care of it, get a Genius to take a look at it or setup service online.
