Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 12-inch PB. I've noticed that my fan is on constantly, even when I turn my computer on in the morning when the computer is still cold. Is this normal for the fan to always be running. I set my processor to reduced and am not running any extensive programs. The temperature on the PB says its around 86 degrees when I turn it on in the morning. I'm running 10.3.4. Thanks for any replies...

Do you have any image files on your desktop? I'm not sure if it's just JPEG files or any image file, but there's a bug in OS X where it tries to get a preview of the file, and can't, or something like that... anyway, if you trash the files - or move them off the desktop - then relaunch Finder or restart you should be sorted.

put activity monitor on .. often times .. when the finder has a problem and needs to be relaunched, you wouldnt know ... even though the fan would hop on and the cpu is hitting 100%. without activity monitor and menumeters ... i'd never have any idea. and when the cpu hits 100 ... yeah .. it'll heat up and turn the fan on .. short of such a thing ... i'd say .... take it to apple and see if a genius has any idea...
i just hope it's reproduceable ... and that they arent blaring any music that would obscure fan noise..
