Post by jphansen »

I just restored from my old Macbook Pro to my new iMac and for some reason Macs fan control still thinks it's my old Macbook Pro. What to do to fix this?

1. Quit the app
2. Remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.crystalidea.MacsFanControl.plist
3. killall -u yourusername cfprefsd

The last command clears caches.
