Hi Phil, Sorry to hear about your iMac. When you say the fan has been running more often than usual, are these short bursts or is the fan continuously on high. I have a 2009 21.5" iMac which has been running the fan at high in short bursts. I have been told by my local authorised apple retailer that is likely the logic board is getting warm and this is the most energy efficient way of the computer cooling it down
They informed me that programs such as Adobe Photoshop, iMovie/ Final Cut Pro and iPhoto could cause this. Having not opened those programs for a few days all appears to know be running fine. I hope this is of some help, Benjamin Phillips On Friday, October 11, 2013 9:32:49 AM UTC+1, Phil Ward wrote: > > All, > > Over the last few days my iMac fan has been running more often than usual. > I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary and I've not installed anything > new recently so, is it possible I'm experiencing the first signs of some > sort of failure (Disk Utility reports that the HD is fine)?
