Hi,
I've just bought a new MacBook, and been thoroughly enjoying using it for many things, but since last week the fan has been on practically non-stop. Of course it eventually stops when I put it to sleep, but within a minute or two of use it's back on again. This is a problem if I want to use it to record audio, and as a music workstation. I'm thinking of taking it back while the warranty is still valid, but I'd rather not now that I have all the things I want installed on it. My iBook's fan didn't come on nearly as much, and I used it the same amount. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. |

yep,
it was stuck in a loophole as you say, and using activity monitor fixed it. I guess I'm learning a bit more each day.  Talking of which, I fixed the memory problem in the iBook (by going in as a superuser and cleaning up)... however, (NEW TOPIC) I want to run an OS9 program on the iBook, and remembered that although I have the option of emulating it in "classic", I no longer have it on the System folder containing the emulator, just the icon (I remember getting rid of it thinking I wouldn't need it I think  ). Now I went and got a macbook, which also runs OSX 4.11 like the iBook, but unlike the iBook there's no Classic icon in its system preferences. Any suggestions? Thanks! |
