When i use my macbook it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

If you're talking about the "new" MacBook with retina display, it's normal (Especially when you're playing games or watching a movie) and like Stark_Hu said, it will start displaying the temperature warnings, slow the processor, and try to regain normal temperatures. I actually had that happen to me while I was playing the Sims 4 while having 3 Pages documents and 5 or so Safari pages open.
Now if you're talking about the Retina MacBook Pro, I would clean out the fan ports and everything because that doesn't seem too normal!

  • I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display and it keeps flickering.  Very annoying.  Almost seems like something else is trying to open.

    My macbook has suddenly started flickering.  I hadn't updated any software.  I did go and update to OS X but that didn't help.  Is anyone else having the same problem?

  • I have a MBP with retina display and my trackpad doesnt work, why does this happen?

    the problem was suppost to be fix by an update but it was not, my mouse doesnt work after i put my computer to sleep and turn it on again. Its like it doesnt wakes up with the computer

    MBPr's are very recent machines.  The oldest ones are from this past summer.  Mine has a quad-core i7 2.6 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5, along with the Retina display.  This is more than enough system power to display HD movies, per the article you reference unhelpfully.

  • I have Problem with my new macbook with Retina display

    my new macbook with Retina display i have Problems
    (Suddenly Stuck) stop working don't thing move even mouse even caps lock light in keyboard it not work it is totally Stuck till shutdown it from keyboard and restart

    Hmm sounds like a saved application state issue and memory related.. I hate to ask are these graphic intensive apps. ?? games ??
    Try these two things and restart if it still occurs then i recommend contacting AppleCare
    disable the Resume and App Restore feature completely in Mac OS X 10.7.
    Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
    At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”
    - Click on the Apple on the top left. Choose shutdown "Uncheck" Reopen windows when logging back in
    **use your mac normally just like you were if the issue reoccurs then contact AppleCare..  Enjoy..

  • I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    When I go to europe and head back to the states I can go to customs at their airport i.e france, italy or germany and get VAT refund for all the purchases I made. It does not work the other way around. purchase in the US heading back to europe as far as I know but you can ask US customs at the airport if they do such thing, just make sure you have copies of your receipts.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

  • I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?

    I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
    Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN.  That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!

    Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
    Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
    So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
    Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
    If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price).

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

    I have the iPad with retina display and the screen is cracked, however it is not yet a year old, how much does it cost to replace it?

    I don't know what country that you are in, but in the US the price for repair (i.e. replacement) is (from here) $299 for the iPad 3, and  here in the UK (from here) £256.44

  • MacBook with retina display worth it?

    I'll be a college student next year and am ecstatic that I am required to have a MacBook pro. My intended major of industrial design recommends that I have at least 500GB of storage and FireWire capability. 
    I really like the new MacBook with retina display because the screen displays text, photos, videos, etc. with an extremely noticeable (at least to me) definition, which I feel is perfect for art and design. I also like how it is thinner and a tiny bit lighter than the Non-retina MacBook pro, making it easier to to carry around Syracuse's large campus. My only concern is that if I go with The standard model of the Retina display, I'll be paying quite a hefty sum, and still won't have the hard drive size I need. I have no problem paying more to get what I need, but my urgent questions are as follows:
    1) Is the higher price ($2800) MacBook with Retina display worth it?
    2) Would I be able to upgrade anything (Hard Drive Size, RAM, battery life, etc.) after I purchase the MacBook by sending it to apple or some other retailer?
    3) Is it inconvenient to not have an optical drive? 
    4) How is the battery life?
    5) Is it possible to have a retina display installed on a MacBook pro that does not originally have one?
    6) How easy is it to switch from a PC to a Mac? 
    If any or all (1, 2, and 3 most importantly) of these questions could be answered I would really appreciate it, I would also love to have any other advice on this topic.
    Thank You!

    Buy one of the other MacBook Pros.
    I really like the new MacBook with retina display because the screen displays text, photos, videos, etc. with an extremely noticeable (at least to me) definition, which I feel is perfect for art and design.

I have no problem paying more to get what I need, but my urgent questions are as follows:
    If you are worrying about cost: you cannot afford it. This so called Pro MacBook has only 1GB of VRAM when even an ugly DELL has 2GB using the same GPU. For some reason, proably due to heat it had to be downgraded to 1GB of VRAM which in the Mobile Workstation world is considered rock bottom and means you will be buying a GPU that is already date and underpowered.
    1) Is the higher price ($2800) MacBook with Retina display worth it?
    It's really only useful if you have clients who are impressed you can afford it. Plasma Blue Ray is set at 1920X1080 and until HD is 4K no one will see what you see.
    2) Would I be able to upgrade anything (Hard Drive Size, RAM, battery life, etc.) after I purchase the MacBook by sending it to apple or some other retailer?
    NO, maybe sometime in the future a thrid party will construct an SSD that is compatible but it will be very, very expensive.
    3) Is it inconvenient to not have an optical drive?
    YES, you do not really need it these days and can easily use the external DVD drive.
    4) How is the battery life?
    Considering it's ok but not as good as the other MBP.
    5) Is it possible to have a retina display installed on a MacBook pro that does not originally have one?
    NO
    6) How easy is it to switch from a PC to a Mac?
    EASY.

  • Macbook with retina display + 500GB western digital hard drive

    I have just bought my macbook pro with retina display and I have a Western Digital hard drive that doesnt show up when I plug it in. How can I make this work?

    Just an update:
    I tried to boot by MacBook into safe mode with the external plugged into the USB port and could never get past the Apple Logo boot screen. I then detached and tried to boot up my MacBook regularly and still nothing.
    So today i took my MacBook and WD External Hard Drive into the genius bar (they were super cool), turned out that my MacBook hard drive had dismounted itself so I had to wipe and reinstall (not a big deal, I had everything backed up).
    Then they plugged the WD into different machines running 10.6.8, 10.7.1 and 10.7.3 and the External did the same thing with everyone of the machines, proving my intial theory wrong that it was my upgrade to 10.7.3 that caused this problem.
    Didn't get a chance to try Paragon's NTFS driver and at this point I'm a little gun shy. The external is still under warranty so I'm going to see if WD will just swap it out for me. Anyways, thanks for the input.
