IMac Fan AFTER Reset SMC fort

I got my iMac for about 6 years now. It is used occasionally and only off (also unplugged) when we leave the city or during a severe storm. When we came back from a two week stay with the family for Christmas, we plugged the iMac back in and turned on. Now, it makes a loud fan noise. I read that the SMC reset will solve the problem, but in my case, the MSC would have been reset with the two week closed.  We did shut down the computer and restart it (reset the SMC a second time) and still have the same question.

Thanks for any help.

Simply unplug your computer is not reset the SMC. Follow the signs of the times letter two or three if necessary.

To reset the SMC on processor Intel Mac Pro, iMac and Mac, as well as Xserve computers mini:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Unplug the power cord at the back of the computer.
  3. Wait 15 seconds.
  4. Connect the power supply cable.
  5. Wait a few seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • MacBook Air battery does not load after resetting SMC

    Hi all, hope you can help me with this. My model of Macbook Air early 2014 seems to have some problems with its battery. The battery status says "do not load" and it is stuck at 74%. My charger light is still red and I tried to check the status of the battery, it is said to be normal; also I have reset the SMC and all that stuff that is suggested on the discussion Forum, but still it is of no use. Someone had a similar problem before?

    Try resetting the SMC two times more.

    If this does not help, please contact Apple support.

  • iMac restarts after 5 minutes of the heavy load of CPU/GPU and noisy fan

    Hello

    My iMac (late 2012 if I remember) restarts when under heavy load for a while.

    I work a lot with Final Cut Pro X.

    Whenever I have add clips in an event, Final Cut allows you to copy and then transcode and analyze the clips, and this task's CPU/GPU intensive (Final Cut Pro X uses OpenCL, where CPU/GPU). After a few seconds, the iMac fan begins to be really strong and seems to reach its maximum speed.

    Then, after a few minutes of this heavy burden, the iMac simply restarts, and the fan slows down and stop. After the reboot, everything is back to normal, with the exception of the warning illustrated by Mac OS X, who said that the closure was not planned.

    I'm sure that this behavior is not normal. I don't see why a computer should reboot/crash when under heavy load.

    Note: you can also, to transcode some clips or movies I used the excellent software called Handbrake, using CPU only encoder ffmpeg, and I don't remember having accidents even if the CPU has been loaded and FAN running loud too. So maybe it has something to do with GPU?

    How can I understand what is happening?

    Thank you very much.

  • iMac fan sleep after security update

    The fan on my iMac 27 inches (mid 2011) will not stop when the computer is put to sleep. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 version. Graphics Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz. card processor: AMD Radeon HD 6770 M 512 MB.

    I think it has something to do with security update 2016-004 (awords of content security of OS X El Capitan v10.11.6 and Security Update 2016-004 - Apple Support)

    I just updated the other day and since the fan will not go to sleep when I put the iMac in mode 'sleep'. I've also updated iTunes and Safari, but I doubt that this has nothing to do with it.

    The SMC reset and reset the PRAM was conducted without success.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Sometimes it takes several MSC resets for the reset to work. Please do the reset SMC 2 - 3 times and then repeat the test.

    Reset SMC. removable or non-removable battery?

    Nice day!

    I am considering a SMC reset.

    After reading this thread - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

    However, I don't know if I follow the steps:

    -If the battery is good behaviour

    or steps

    - If the battery is removable.

    My SN is C1 * TY3

    Theoretically my battery is removable, but I'm not sure if it is removable, in general, or if it means that he is or is not a "sliding door", as was the case on some previous models. Obviously the text found in ' Reset of the SMC on Mac Laptops ' more or less indicates that mine is non-removable, but I'm just looking for that very few insurance telling me stop worrying...: Pei

    Thank you!!!

  • every time I erase content and settings on my iphone 6 after reset at the start of my phone and after crossing the screen as Hello &gt; select language &gt; Connect wifi &gt; my iphone doesnot ask me activation lock even if my unit is also found on

    every time I erase content and settings on my iphone 6 after reset at the start of my phone and after crossing the screen as Hello > select language > wifi connection > my iphone doesnot ask me lock activation that says that your iphone is connected with the old apple ID, please enter the id and password

    I always reset on find my optional equipment please tell me how to activate locking activation so that whenever I have factory reset my phone with finding my camera so my phone always ask an old apple and password

    I do not understand your question, but let me go with what I believe. Looks like you entered in iCloud and erased all the content and settings on the iPhone, and once you go by assigning back up again, you do not see something that you expect to see, for example, a request for an Apple ID. When you go through the installation process to select the language, etc., it must, at some point, ask you to identify yourself with your Apple ID. are you not see this?

    It would be better if you try to describe exactly what you do again. Also, without the help of any sign of punctuation, it is difficult to track everything you ask. Try providing the steps of what you do, and then what you see when you get to the point that you believe that something is going wrong. You mention both an old and new Apple ID, which is rather confusing.

  • Cannot find HP printer after reset printers on Air

    I hope someone here can help or has had the same problem.

    I recently got a new printer wireless HP Envy 5660.  Everything worked find when installing, it finds the printer on the network, and he added with the scan function.  During the last part of the installation, I had battery problems and he stopped (later I realized, it didn't matter because it was for registration and other things that could be done later).

    Since I thought I had to redo the installation, I thought I would start from scratch.  I deleted the printer (who also had the function of scan displays on the screen of the Mac printer) and redone the installation.  Now after installation configurations the password on the printer wireless, it is said that the wireless settings have been saved, but could not find my printer on the network.

    I've searched the forums and I tried everything I could find:
    • Reset the printers on the MAC
    • Restore the default settings of the printer
    • Reinstall the drivers both Apple and HP
    • Restored from a Time Machine backup
    • Turn off the printer, router and computer
    • To repair the hard drive
    • Other stuff I probably forgot

    I can add the printer as an IP printer, but then I do not have the scan of the Mac function.

    I know that it worked perfectly before because when I installed it the first time it was on the Mac with printing and scanning.  To make sure that it wasn't the printer or the network, I went to another Mac and clicked on the button Add Printer printers, and wireless printer has been found on the same network and installed with the scan function.

    If anyone has any idea, please let me know because I really need the scan function.

    It could be something with the change in network or Hello after resetting the printers that does not show the previous printers in the network?

    May be corrupted printer preferences given that you have installed the drivers both Apple and HP. It is not necessary to do both.

    Open the Finder.

    In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Now type or copy paste the following text:

    ~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Print.Add.plist

    Click OK, and then place the com.apple.print.add.plist file in the trash.

    Restart your Mac and your printer to test.
