My Macbook Story

My Macbook was bought in 2007, So far, I had only one problem: hard disk crash not once but twice (Hard disk Hitachi Made). As for the second time it crashed I replace it myself by getting the Seagate Hard disk.

Ventilation is a common problem for Macbook. The fan makes loud noise as if there is a lot of dust stuck inside. There are a few ways to solve this problem by cleaning the dust by following tutorial from ifixit.com After I opened it. I found that the fan was broken. I’m not sure what caused it, probably SMC fan control or something.

I went to Lowyat Plaza for a replacement. Machine offers 2 weeks for replacement. Another shop offers 3 days, but they are replacing it with self-made laptop fan.

I finally decided to buy a replacement from Ebay. I bought 2 just in case. Hopefully everything runs well.

On the software site, if your Macbook cooling fan has been running at what sounds like full speed. First thing to do is to have a look in the Activity Monitor to see if any process stresses constantly the system. Usually any program that run with high graphics will be listed on the top of the usage. The print manager usually is the main problem as it is trying to print to a non connected printer. By killing this process it will drop the CPU usage and CPU cool off almost immediately.

But my problem is that when I view the system log, it shows

-f /Var/log/system.log

MacBook com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[205] (jp.co.canon.CUPSCAPT.BackGrounder[10942]): posix_spawn(“/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT/BackGrounder/Canon CAPT BackGrounder.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon CAPT BackGrounder”, …): No such file or directory

Here is where I got stuck. How to turn off these things? Help
