Has anyone else had this problem? It only happens when I run BinaB. The fan just starts spinning like crazy and stays (mostly) ramped up until I quit the program.
I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro full loaded with a 1GB SSD drive still running great. This problem started about a year ago, using High Sierra. I then upgraded to Mojave just 10 days ago. I completely erased every related file (including preference files) to BinaB then redownloaded everything and did a clean install of BinaB. Same issue with loud fan spinning. Am I the only one with this problem? It will briefly ramp down then start going full tilt again - until I quit BinaB, then the fan goes quiet within a minute.
I mean, I'm used to hearing the fan spin loudly when processing a piece of video, but this is really frustrating.
sincerely, Carlos

Thanks Mike,
Well, I have Band In A Box 2017 build 186 for Mac installed as anyone else would install it on a laptop...rather, I run the real tracks from within the (fully loaded top speed with 1Gg ssd drive) same late 2013 laptop that just got a new battery and thermal paste applied. Running Mojave 10.14.6
regards, Carlos

Ok, you really need to ignore that advice. Crapware fan controllers force you to control the fans manually. In this case, it’s very likely that your machine is overheating. If so, the above solution can fry your Mac. Let’s not do that. You have a hardware or software problem. It’s not BIAB and isn’t Mojave ... but it’s something. My guess, some old piece of code is is mucking up the works causing your MBP to overheat. This isn’t that uncommon. Now I am an experienced Mac tech so I know where/how to look but there’s no reason you have to be. Fortunately, you have access to free Apple tech support when you upgrade to a supported OS. You can arrange a call through the support page. A tech will log into your machine and observe what’s really happening. Console.app or the Activity Monitor will likely reveal the culprit that, once purged from your system, restores normal operation. There’s the possibility that a hardware problem exists such as a bad sensor or a malfunction in the CPU or a motherboard on the fritz—or even excess dust somewhere—but since it only happens with BIAB 2017 and Mojave, that is unlikely. Still, you do want to know, right? BTW, the last time I ran into this, it was a 2005 HP printer driver that was brought back to life by High Sierra when Digital Performer 9.51 was being run–totally screwed things up. You never know...

Thanks Mike for your detailed response. I did get in touch with a senior advisor at Apple Support and I shared my screen so they could take a look "under the hood" so to speak. This just yesterday, so waiting for a reply in a couple days to see if they found any specific problem. We downloaded a "Capture Data" app the ran a test while I was running BinaB 2017 on Mojave. I then uploaded the resulting "Capture Data" 350mg file to a specific Apple website URL where it will be analyzed. Hence waiting a couple days for test result analysis.
Btw, the problem with running BinaB 2017 was there when running High Sierra too ... but this all started only 6 to 8 months ago so suspect it is definitely hardware or software related (old piece of code as you mentioned.
I just downloaded the new 2019 64 bit version today, and alas, the fan still runs like crazy when running BinaB 2019 64 bit version as well...
thanks, Carlos
