I am using Mac Book Air mid 2012 model and MacOS Sierra 10.13.1.
Whenever I use Photos in edit mode the fan speed increases. (no problem while viewing photos).
Kindly suggest a solution.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Please read About fans and fan noise in your Apple product - Apple Support.
If the fan speed returns to normal after performing processor-intensive activity such as editing photos, your Mac is probably working exactly as it should work. Read See how apps affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. However the Mac heats up very quickly and the Photos app hangs. Other apps work fine. I have to force quit the app, allow the Mac to cool down and then I can get back to editing.
I did not have this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS hence wondering if this is problem only with Sierra?
It shouldn't happen. Please Contact Support to have your Mac evaluated for a possible hardware fault.
