Why does my Mac air make a lot of noise with the fan inside?

I bought Mac air one year ago. at the beginning, I satisfied with the product. However, 8 months later, the laptop made a lot of noise from the fan inside. When I I run about 4 or 5 solfwares, it starts warmer and make noise. I feel so unhappy with this. How can I fix it. I bought AppleCare programme for 3 years as well
Thanks

The mid 2011 MacBook Air fans are pretty quiet but not silent and since they are the only mechanical decice you'll hear - there's no hard drive or DVD drive to make noise - it is possible that what you hear is normal. On the other hand, fans can go bad - bearings fail and dust an make the blades become unbalanced. None of us can help - you'll need to take the computer to a repair center or Apple Store and let an Apple repair person determine if the fans need replacing or not. If so, your warranty will cover the cost.

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?
This has been always bothering me for some time already. Whenever I open my macbook air in our university it always warns me to restart my device. When I do the same thing happens over and over again until it reached 27 reports.

I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

Why does my Macbook Air make a single buzz/beep?

Why does my Macbook Air make a single buzz/beep every time I open it or turn it on? It doesn't happen after again after the initial buzz. If I open it after it has been sleeping, it starts up and then there is a buzz. This has only happened since I downloaded iOS Maverick.

Beeps on startup:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images.
5 beeps = processor is not usable

My Mac book makes a lot of noise!!!

Hello,
My Mac book is 3 months old and since 3 days the ventilation is running non stop
But I notice that it depends where we are...??
Thank you for your help,
Aurelia.

Hello,
Actually, my Mac makes a lot of noise just when I watch this web site :http://football.direct8.fr/live.php. And if I close this page the ventilation remains... I think that it is link to this web site or probably to internet in general, because if just I work with the other software I have no problem... And it is strange because it started just 3 days ago...
Thanks so much for your help,
Aurelia.

Why does my Mac Air keeps logging out and restarting

Can you explain to me why my Mac Air keeps giving me this message? In the middle of a download and I get this when the computer goes into sleep. Once I get this message it will keep trying to log out until finally I log out and then back in again.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked

Why does my Mac Pro late 2013 drive both monitors with one GPU?

System report shows both of my WQHD monitors are running on one GPU. When I add an HDMI display, it also runs on the same GPU. Why would it not split the load? This makes me wonder about when both GPUs are working, if ever. Since Activity Monitor does not report GPU activity, does anyone know of an app that gives real-time reports on GPU usage?

If you add six displays, they will all be supported by one GPU -- the display GPU. The second GPU is reserved for un-interrupted GPU computing and has no Display output Hardware.
Anandtech has a discussion of this in his review of the late 2013 Mac Pro.
Under OS X the situation is a bit more complicated. There is no system-wide CrossFire X equivalent that will automatically split up rendering tasks across both GPUs.
By default, one GPU is setup for display duties while the other is used exclusively for GPU compute workloads. GPUs are notoriously bad at context switching, which can severely limit compute performance if the GPU also has to deal with the rendering workloads associated with display in a modern OS. NVIDIA sought to address a similar problem with their Maximus technology, combining Quadro and Tesla cards into a single system for display and compute.

My mac has started to do this new thing, where it will not play play music through the headset i connected, until I lock the macbook down, and start it up again, with the headset plugged in.. I can change the volume while the headset is plugged in, and i didnt lock the mac down, but it just plays through the speakers. I dont know what to do?

See if SMC and PRAM resets solve the problem:

Why does Apple not support syncing Entourage Notes and Tasks with the iPhone?

I'd like to know why Apply syncing does not support notes and task syncing with the iPhone. It used to when I had a Balckberry and used a third party sync app.
I bought the iPhone (4S) thinking that syncing would be smoother and have less problems than I was having with the Blackberry and third party sync software. Are there any plans to support this?

Normally I run OS X, but on a whim I tested iCloud on Windows and was able to get Outlook to read and create Notes. It supposedly supports Tasks too, but I can't figure out how to use Outlook.
I suggest reposting your question to the iCloud for PC forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_pc
