Hi Phillipa. this has to me a few times, and when it happens and the fan keeps going, it usually means I had a problem, like the time Finder wouldn't stop being busy. I had to call Apple Care, and we had to reset the fan. I am not sure I can remember how to tell you because it was that real awkward command that takes about ten hands, ha ha. It seemed that way to me when I was doing it.
