No Sensors Available in Pull Down List

[Jon_K]

When I double click on a fan in the Macs Fan Control wind & select sensor-based value, then click on the pull-down, I get a whole lot of nothing. The previously selected sensor is the only choice, and greys out when I click on the menu.

Macs Fan Control 1.1.11, MacPro5,1, Mac OS X 10.7

When does this happen? I mean was there anything on this Mac that preceeded this issue.

Please also provide a screenshot of the issue.

It always happens, It never does not happen. I can never change sensors.
>>was there anything on this Mac that preceeded this issue ??
Everything else on this mac is working fine.

Why is "CPU B HeatSink" selected?

When you open this window initially there should be "Ambient".

Try clearing MFC preferences (first quit) by executing these 2 commands:

Code: Select all

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.crystalidea.MacsFanControl.plist
killall -u me cfprefsd

Why is "CPU B HeatSink" selected? Because that is the fan I wish to change, obviously.

I decided to reinstall Macs Fan Control from a zip. Version 1.1.8.1 works fine.
When I went to Check for Updates to upgrade to the newest version, the Install and relaunch does not work. The program never relaunches. When I manually relaunch the program, I get 1.1.8.1.

The latest version is 1.1.11
http://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control-changelog

Please make sure to use it. The auto-update issue is fixed there as well.

[Jon_K]

OK, 1.1.11 installed.
But none of this solved the original problem. When I double-click on a fan [ANY FAN] & select Sensor-based Value, the pull-down menu allows only Ambient. No other sensors are available.

Do you have access to some other mac to check if this behavior repeats?

[Jon_K]

No
