Apple is often very hot, What should I do?

The joints of my MacBook Air power will be hot,
Then, it will sound. How should I do?

First make sure that air can get around and under your Mac..
Then check your Activity Monitor App. in Applications > Utilities
Set to show Active processes. at the top &  select the %CPU column to see what is using the most.
If an App is taking too much of the CPU % you can select and quit it.
At the moment the software for my USB T stick is using 100% of the CPU so I'm going to have to go off line and quit it for a while as my Mac's fans are ramping up.

  • My Macbook Pro keeps crashing and it gets very hot, what should I do?

    I have a late 2010 15inch Macbook Pro.
    Specs:
    2.53GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    500 GB HD
    My mac keeps freezing and crashing on me. It might be because it gets really hot, but I really cant say for sure. Its been running slow the past few months and im not sure what to do. I keep it very clean and I doubt there is dust accumilating inside of it. Even if there was, I dont know how to check. Will upgrading the RAM help; if so, where and how? Also I only have about 25GB left on my HD.

    Have you tried inserting a disc cleaner? Maybe you drive is dirty

  • HT5622 My apps are not updating as I have no longer access to my eariler apple Id and now I am using a new apple Id which is allowing to download  apps but while updating those apps my iPod wants eariler apple Id password to update what should I do ?

    My apps are not updating as I have no longer access to my eariler apple Id and now I am using a new apple Id which is allowing to download  apps but while updating those apps my iPod wants eariler apple Id password to update what should I do ?

    Hi Kanishk,
    Those apps are forever tied to the Apple ID they were purchased under. You can either delete them and re-purchase them, or you can go to Manage your Apple ID and reset the password on the old Apple ID so you can use it to update your apps: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you decide to continue to use them under the old ID password, I would suggest that when you reset that password, you change it to be the same password as the one you are currently using. That way when apps need to be updated you will only need to know one password and you won't have to be concerned with which Apple ID is displaying.
    Cheers,

  • My safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    my safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    Same here :-(
    Safari works fine for all sites but as soon as I login to mail.yahoo.com and enter my login/password then I get the spinnig color wheel. Force quit is the only way out. I beleive my Mail Yahoo was working fine last month (started having this issue a couple weeks ago).
    I am using Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22) and have normal plugins (quick time, divx, google earth, iphotophotocast, java, shockwave)

  • Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do

    Since iOS 7update my IPAD battery Is discharging very quickly what should i do.  This problem only occured since last iOS 7.0.2 update

    Poke around the settings. There's a lot of notifications turned on that you may not need. There's also the backgroun app refresh that will be using battery and the background updating of apps.
    So turn stuff off, if it doesn't help another thing that you can try is to go into the settings and reset all settings. Which is a bit of a pain because you'll need to retweak everything, but sometimes starting fresh can clear glitches

  • F7oo battery is not on recall but it gets real hot. what should i do?

    My hp f700 battery gets very hot. Should i be concerned

    So a 5 year old battery? Time for a new one. On a laptop of that age you can certainly get by with a "compatible" i.e. non-Genuine battery.

  • HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

  • My ipod touch 4g keeps flashing the apple sign on the screen what should i do and its warranty is over to

    My ipod touch 4g keeps flashing the apple sign on the screen what should i do and its warranty is over to

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • IPad display problem: pinkish in the top (front cam side), yellowish in the bottom, very disturbing, what should I do?

    Is this a common problem for the new ipad? when displaying a pure white image the color problem is very obvious and annoying, what should I do? Please help me.

    You can try resetting the device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red slider, and until you see the silver apple, let ti reboot and see if that helps. But chances are if there is indeed an issue, it's beyond a user fix. Time to take it in and let the pros look at it.

  • My home button on my iPhone 3gs is very hard what should i do???

    I am having a problem with my iPhone 3gs home button it is very hard and misses a lot what should i do??? Pls advice.

    If it is still in warrenty i would just take it to the apple store and let them look at it. However if not i could recommend going on amazon and getting an iPhone repair kit and opening the iPhone up to reposition the home button in the phone which may fix your problem.

  • Ist Generation Apple TV is very hot and will not reset

    Our 1st generation Apple TV has not been working since we had a recent power cut; I have let it cool down -- very hot to touch -- and tried the MENU and MINUS button held down for 6 seconds, as Apple advise, but, nothing!
    The orange light of doom continues to blink.
    Any idea would be very gratefully received.

    Sounds like the power cut fried the device.
