Mac mini was slow, better My mac mini had started running slow. I tried repairing permissions, reinstalling software from scratch to no avail. So I reset the mini by unplugging the power cord, holding the power button down then pressing again.

Immediately a puff of dust spewed out of the mini and the fan came on full speed. I have never heard the fan on before ever. Now it won't go off but it seems a bit more responsive. Should the fan have been on all along for light task such as web surfing.

The fan should run all the time the system is powered, but typically slowly enough that you can barely hear it. When CPU load is high and the temperature inside the unit begins to rise, the fan should then spin up until it reaches a speed where it is very noticeable. It should generally NOT run at full speed when web browsing, though if there is flash content or heavy graphics embedded in a page, you may hear the fan spin up for what ought to be fairly brief intervals. You don't say which model of mini you have, but the reset procedure you appear to be describing sounds like the PMU reset for the G4 mini. If so, it doesn't work on Intel models. If it's a G4, follow these instructions: - Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord. Wait 10 seconds.

Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer. Let go of the power button. Press the power button once more to start up your Mac mini.

If it's an Intel model, follow these: -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.Wait at least 15 seconds.Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.Press the power button on the back to start up your computer. After you do whichever is the appropriate reset the system is still misbehaving, and noting that you've done what sounds like a full reinstall of MacOS, let us know if you did an erase and install or an archive and install, and also whether the fan runs at full speed all the time (very loud, from power-on) and whether you have had the system open at any point. Maybe you are looking for.

When I press the down volume button on my iPad 2 it doesn't work. It was working last night but not this morning.

I didn't drop it or anything. I just got my iPad not even a year ago. How can I fix my down volume button?.

My computer will start running really slowly and then the keyboard stops working, then after 30 seconds or so I lose the ability to click but the mouse still moves. Command-option-esc for force quit still works some of the time though but refreshing.
