I have an iMac model 9,1 which is producing what I believe is fan

correct it?



Fan speed vs Power Manager vs dying bearings vs dust...

Fan speed is controlled by the Power Manager, as a function of the  
temp sensors.  Install something like iStat Menus or MenuMeters, so  
you can view the temps.  If they're climbing, that's a possible sign  
of fan issues.  Check your system log for thermal warnings / shutdowns.


Try resetting your nvram.  Could be that the Power Manager is confused.

Try sucking out the dust (a must if you have shedding pets!).  Find  
the vent holes and apply the business end of a vaccuum cleaner hose.   
Depending on the Mac model, opening 'er up and doing a full vaccuum  
job is often a good plan.


HTH,

Re: Is Safari Security Alert Legit?

[Mac Carter]

I’m probably stepping into an on-going conversation, but it sounds like you 
have some “adware” on your computer. This happened to me recently. I clicked on 
a link by mistake and before I could count to 3, I had popup ads on my screen. 
I recommend you consider installing and running AdMedic: 
http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php. 
It is shareware and well a donation. 

Cheers,
Mac

 Thanks guys, as I suspected. I'm glad I checked. And the webpage looks so 
 slick and Applelike. Anyway, before I posted here before supper, I called 
 that phone number and cut the connection after a few fishy minutes. Did not 
 like where that was going.

  Hello, 
  
  Is the phone number below legit? And should I call it for service? 
  
  While browsing in Safari, an unwelcome ad from MacKeeper popped up, and I 
  want nothing to do with it. I thought had I clicked on a button to close 
  it. But a Safari - Alert note came up with: “Suspicious Activity Might Have 
  been Detected” and “Major Security Issue.” Plus: 
  
  http://online-apple-alerts.com http://online-apple-alerts.com/, and phone 
  number 1 855-326-4813 to “call immediately.” 
  
  Thanks, 
  Al Poulin 
 
 That’s faker than the worst SyFy Sharknado Versus DinoCroc movie. 
 
 Call it for service only if you feel that your bank account is just too full. 
 Forget that, call ME if you feel your bank account is just too full! I’ll 
 actualloffer more help and won’t install Malware ;-)
