My fan started running although did not have any applications running and it was overheating , especially in top left corner of keyboard. I have booked genius bar and haven't used my mac for few days. Seems fine now. what is going on? Only a month old Mac Air.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
This happened to me exactly twice since having the MBA, which is about nine months. A reboot fixed it each time. I don't know why it happened and it hasn't happened since.
If you just installed the OS X 10.7.4 update it's normal for it to get a bit hot as it installs. This should last no more than a few minutes.

Run activity monitor, and see if Adobe Shockwave is running or not. I had Chrome running with 12 tabs, MS Word, MS Excel, VMWare Fusion with Windows 7 running with Outlook running. Fan was making continous noise. I killed the Shockwave process, and then went through the Chrome tabs - found the tab that was complaining about Shockwave plug in failure, and closed that tab. The fan went very quite in less than a minute!!!!
overheating and fan going non-stop, why
