Sounds like Apple Spell's what's doing it. I've heard of that, but I'm not
exactly sure what it is.

Subject: Mac book pro running very hot
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.
