Hi guys, I've got a strange problem hear, and I'm really hoping it's software not hard ware.
A couple of days ago my Mac book pro started running hot, the fan would kick in a short time after start up, and would pretty much run constantly from there until I shut down again. Now, it's the middle of winter hear in Australia, so the temperature hardly get's above 20 Celsius, Even with the heater going my lounge-room is definitely not hot enough to up set the MBP. I checked all the usual culprits, Things I'd forgotten to remove from the finder, apps running in the background, ect, no deal it still happened. I ran a permissions repair, worked for about a day, then started all over again. So I went deeper and had a look at the activity monitor. Most things are running at 0.0 or or not much higher, except for one. Something called "applespell.service" was varying between 84 and 99%. I quit it, and it went back to 0.0 and my MBP immediately started cooling down. A short while later it started heating up again and the fan cut in and remained on again. I went back and checked, and sure enough applespell.service" was running at 99%. Once again I quit, and things cooled down again. It's been running at 0.0 for a bit over an hour now, the Mac is a lot cooler, and the fan hasn't kicked in once. So I'm assuming I've found my problem. The thing is it seams to be reoccurring frequently. Does anyone have any idea what's going on hear? Do you guys think I've found the problem, or am I completely off the mark? I'd really like to fix this my self, not only for the satisfaction, but my nearest apple store is an hour and a half away, and finding transport for that long a trip can be tricky at best. :). Thanks in advance for any thoughts-help. A very! frustrated, Kari. Ps all software is up to date. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
