If the fans in your device run fast even when it isn't experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated, follow the steps for your device:
- On an Intel-based Mac: Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
- On a Mac computer with Apple silicon: Close and open the lid on your laptop, or restart your computer.
- On an Apple TV 4K, Airport Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule: Unplug the device, then plug it back in.
- On a Mac Pro: Check the enclosure to make sure that your Mac Pro is locked and fully seated, or that the top cover or access door is closed and locked on rack-mounted models.
