Lion Fan Speed
My MacBook Pro fan is running extremely fast after installing Lion. Indexing is finished. It keeps going at top speed even after the screen saver is on. Anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks to my AppleCare Protection Plan I was able to talk to the Apple support on the phone. They want to talk me through a couple of performance tests next week to see what causes the problem. Attesting that my 2,5-year-old MacBook 2.1 GHz with 4 GB RAM fulfills the hardware requirements, they also implied that Lion needs significantly more resources than Snow Leopard. I won't tell you at this point what I think about an OS that doesn't run properly on a 2,5-year-old machine (built by the very same company).
Just read through the reviews on the Mac App Store: There's a considerable number of MacBook (Pro) owners reporting this kind of behavior of their systems after the installation of Lion. Obviously, there is a problem – no matter, if the majority of MacBook (Pro) owners, in fact, may not have experienced any problems. Now, it would be nice, if there was an official statement (maybe on the official support forums? *cough*).
In the part that got deleted, Wiliam compared Lion to Windows Vista stating that he has the impression that Apple is trying to force the purchase of a new system. Firstly, I really disapprove of such kind of censorship. Secondly, unlike Microsoft, Apple provides both the hardware and the software, which means that the developers know exactly what they're dealing with – or decide to not deal with. As a professional user, I'm really disappointed by Apple. I still remember having to wait several weeks for my € 1.600 PowerBook to ship, because Apple was producing iPods rather than PowerBooks at that time. The situation hasn't improved since then.
Hi Daryl, thanks for joining this discussion. Looks to me like Apple has no idea how to fix this issue. I mean, why wouldn't they have done it already? I doubt there's anything we can do but boycotting Apple's new policy and letting them know about it.
my mac book pro is doing the same, had lion for over 12hours now, indexing has stopped and my fan is alot louder than it was when i was running snow leopard! how can i fix this! and why is it doing it?
I got the same problem.
My fan is always running.
And I my macbook is getting extremely hot.
Mine is doing the same thing and driving me crazy.
I have the same problem on a MacBook C2D 2 GHz with 4 GB ram. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think OX 10.7 should run on a 2,5 years old machine.
Same thing for me. Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro and 8GB RAM. Running hot for the first time since I bought it and the battery drained very, very quickly.
Haven't seen any remedies or reasons for this anywhere yet. If I find anything I'll come back and share...
This command fixed my problem
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.citrix.agadminservice.plist
can you explain what i need to do to fix this... a step by step guide please not the best with this sort of stuff
what do i do with:
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.citrix.agadminservice.plist ??? |
DONE IT!!! thank you!!
can you explain what is was n why it was doing it? just out of interest?
Wouldn't it make sense to find out about that before? And maybe Apple could comment on this.
I got the fix from that thread I posted above. I'm no expert but, it you
Open finder
On the bar above click GO, then Utilities
Open the Terminal utility
Then paste the command in and hit enter
It will prompt you for your password so, enter it and press enter again.
The process will stop and your fan will slow down after your computer cools down.
I appreciate that the terminal fix seems to be working, but over at Ars Technica they state that some apps appear to quit but their processes remain running:
'As if all of this isn't enough, Lion features one final application management twist. When an application is terminated in Lion, all the usual things appear to happen. If the running application indicator is enabled, the small dot will disappear from beneath the application's Dock icon. The application will no longer appear in the command-tab application switcher, or in Mission Control. You therefore conclude that this application's process has terminated.
A quick trip to the Activity Monitor application or the "
ps
" command-line utility may dissuade you of that notion. Lion reserves the right to keep an application's process around just in case the user decides to relaunch it. Upon relaunch, the application appears to start up instantly—because it was never actually terminated, but was simply removed from all parts of the GUI normally occupied by running applications.'All of these processes are bound to cause the CPU to work and therefore produce heat. Might explain the poorer battery life some MacBook users are reporting.
