Deinstall instructions?

Post by edelbrp »

Hi, I have a MacBookPro10,1 which has been acting a bit weird since I installed Macs Fan Control 1.0.7 a day ago. I'd like to uninstall Macs Fan Control to see if it is related.

Specifically, my rMBP has had the Kernel process (ID 0) eat up 400% CPU at times, and I got an error at one point saying the SMC hardware couldn't be accessed or something after waking from sleep.

Thanks!

Just quit and remove the app from /Applications and reboot.

What is your Mac OS X version?

OK, thanks. I had assumed there was some sort of system extension installed. Glad to know it is that easy to remove. So far things are working normally, though, so I'll keep and eye on it and post updates here.

BTW- I'm running OS-X 10.8.4. Mid-2012 15" rMBP.

Thanks your letting know.

MFC shouldn't cause the problems your described before. But if it will appear again, please post some more information about it - System Log, screenshots of MFC window, etc.
