Weird beeping/blinking. After reseting SMC the fan/battery is out of control.

I honestly just got my MacBook Pro back from the shop yesterday (it got a new harddrive) and the first time I let it run out of battery life, this happens.
So basically what's going on is that I cannot start up my computer unless I reset the SMC. When the beeping/blinking (it was the one beep/per second type) first started about an hour ago I immeditely reseted the SMC and that seemed to work... until, that was, the fans would not stop blaring and the battery is not showing up. Therefore, as soon as I unplug my charger my computer loses all power and goes right back to that single beep, therefore I have to reset the SMC again and the battery is still not showing up, cursing me to live out this day in and day out.
Is there anything I can do? I'm getting sick of resetting the date.

when you pay for a repair, it comes with a warranty, typically 90 days. Take it back to the people who touched it last and ask them to make sure it is working properly before returning it to you.
It is possible that a new problem has occurred, and that the timing is just unfortunate. But let them explain it.

Although you may have tried other suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090, you do not mention that you have checked more than one user account. You could check your user account before responding to Klaus for more specific help suggestions.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

HT3964 I reset SMc but fan still running fast

I reset smc but fan still running fast.

First, you only need to post your question once ... you can update that post by responding to it.
If an SMC reset doesn't fix a fast fan, there are several things you can do. First, find the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini and run the extended hardware test, to see if any sensors are failing.
Next, install istat pro from http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/ so you can monitor temps to see if something is running hot.
Finally, load the Activity Monitor (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) and see if any programs are consistenly running more than 30% to 50%+ of the CPU.

After os5 upgrade the iPhone battery drains in 1 hr

after os5 upgrade the iPhone battery drains in 1 hr? Gets very hot also

And I should mention that I took the foll steps so far:
1. Let the battery drain out completely and charge it overnight
2. Backed the phone, then reset the phone and restored from backup.
3. Took it to the apple store and they did a different kind of restore but no luck
The only thing left for me to try to is to reset it to factory setting unless some one can suggest some other way.

It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
Was there an update maybe ?

Firmware version 5.0.1 is up to the iPhone battery runs out very well in normal use. I have not used it a lot.

HT3964 fan still running after resetting SMC?

After booting up Macbook the fan immediately starts running fast. Closed down all programmes and reset the SMC. Fan still continues running. Has anyone else experienced his and has a solution?

Run Apple Hardware Test. Maybe it will detect a bad sensor (just maybe).

IMac won't turn on after resetting SMC

Recently my 2011 iMac starts uttering strange noise even if the fan speed is low so I decided to reset SMC this morning. However, after unplugging for 15 sec and plug again. it just won't start! No matter how I pressed the power button, there is no reaction coming from my iMac. I tried to long press for 10 more seconds, re-unplug and plug in, and tried another socket on the wall but in vain. Do you have other ideas 'cause I have not backup my data and hope to grab something output before sending it to the APPLE store. Thanks.

If you get no video or audio at all and you have confirmed it's not the power source or power cord then that indicates your power supply may have failed.

Why does my Mac not restart after resetting SMC ?

I have a MacBook white intel base 2.4 duo mid 2008. I reset the SMC because the message kept coming that was going to shutdown. If you did not select cancel it would shutdown. Since then it will not restart? The choices were sleep , cancel or shutdown . Performe all the trouble shooting I could find it still came up with message
Any ideas
Regards
Denis

how did you do the SMC reset? the following article tells how to do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
use the section for batteries that can be removed to perform the reset then see if it will start up
if it doesn't what OS are you running?

After browsing websites, the fans get louder and louder, no internet.

Hi,
With my 2011 Macbook Pro 15inch, I have found that browsing some websites causes the fans to spin up very loud and the internet to drop.
Websites won't load etc. Even after reconnecting to my wireless network. The only thing that seems to fix it is rebooting.
Sometimes this will happen quickly, other times it may take an hour of browsing before the internet stops working and the tell-tale sign of the loud fans
makes an appearance.
All other features of the laptop work, just not the internet. Across all browsers too.
Thanks in advance,
Finn

The only way to know what is going on is to retrieve the certificate and check who is the issuer.<br />
It is always possible that the server doesn't send the full certificate chain (intermediate certificates), so it might help to post a link to this website
Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

T61 sudden shut down after I replaced the fan

I was getting a fan error (that was preventing the unit from booting), so I ordered a replacement.
On installing it last night, everything seemed fine. Unit ran fine for 20m then Bam! sudden shutdown.
This morning, same thing, both witht the battery installed and with it out.
I have to suspect the fan, but I presume the unit wouldn't even boot if the fan was not working.
any suggestions for diagnosing the issue?
many thanks
Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Difficult to say...
Theory says system shutdowns automatically to avoid permanent damage, but if you tried to run it several times...
Anyway a new CPU won't cost you much. Try again once the thermal paste is reapllied.
I hope you're using the HMM and following the steps described there. Don't forget to tell us the machine type number (see my post above)
Good luck!

Put comp to SLEEP-suddenly after 30 seconds the FANS WENT SUPER LOUD! HELP

Hi guys i put my computer to sleep today, and then afterl ike 30 secs my compuer just starting making the loudest fan noise, as iff the computer was hot, it was almost liek running the hardware test but not as loud, So i did just that ran the test and everythign passed on the extended test. Ive read some things on this, but no conclusions or reasons why it does this, just some odd anomalies.. should i be worried?

my G5 locked up yesterday. I did a hard shutdown. When I restarted the system start, but it would not go through the boot up process. then the fan took off. We had a similar problem with a couple of G5s when they were first installed. Our tech swapped out the RAM and it was resolved. I have had my G5 for almost 3 years and this is the first major problem I have had with it.

Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6976/4f7k.jpg

First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.
