Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

I am using a white 13inch 2009/10 macbook, purchased in the US. Am currently using it in the Philippines, where it is 220v. I know my adapter says it works from 100-240v, but is it okay to use longterm? I think my mac gets very hot now? thanks

All Apple power supplies work world-wide with the proper plug adapter.
I have my MacBook plugged into the grid all the time, 24 hours a day w/o any problems.

HT3302 If iv cracked my glass can I still claim in the 1 year warranty as my phone is getting very hot when I call

Iv cracked my glass and only had my iphone5 for 4 days, it is also getting very hot when I call so can I still claim for a new phone if iv got a crack

For a manufacturing defect then yes.
If you drop your phone and broke the glass then no, you would have to buy an out of warranty iphone

My macbook pro gets very hot when running anything like games or videos

I just bought a macbook pro 2.3 GHZ i7 with retina display. It gets very hot when running just about anything of substance. When I run a game like candy crush, the temperature can get to 167 or more. I installed istat menus and started monitoring it. I did notice that the fans never went on but after istats I was able to make them come on. Without having a game going, the temperatures hover around 100. Once the game starts, it goes crazy.
I don't really know what the problem could be or if this is normal (it really can't be....This is way too hot). I have owned the computer for about 2 months and I need to know what to do.

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.

Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on. I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond. Any Ideas?

I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot. It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it fixable?

Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or, you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.

Does anybodys iphone 4s get very hot when using devices such as camera?

The side of my new iphone 4s get so hot on the top corner you cant keep you finger on it when using my camera. I know there is a problem with the battery but mine drops so fast it rarely lasts the day. Is their anything i can do now?

It would not be uncommon for the 4S to get a LITTLE WARM while getting used with the screen on etc, but not to the point where it gets so hot that you cannot keep your finger on it.
If you can easily replicate the problem and you got it from an Apple Store then I would make an appointment to have it looked at/replaced.
If you got the 4S from elsewhere then I would get in contact with them and arrange for it to be looked at/replaced.

IPod touch gets very hot when using the Internet/Video

Hello. I have a question about my iPod touch (8 GB, 1.1.4, January Software Upgrade). When I go to Safari and browse the web, or when I'm watching a long video (YouTube and memory) the iPod gets really hot, particulary on the top, near the Sleep-Wake button. Is this normal or should I worry?

Is it hot to the touch? or is it warm? My iPod only gets warm, but not hot, down near the home button after/during a sync or watching videos/searching the web.

I downloaded Mountain Lion and my mac gets very hot

Is this normal?

I suppose it depends on how hot. Mountain Lion drive the CPU and GPU much harder than previous OS's, especially if you are coming from Snow Leopard.
My 2006 MacBook Pro got extremely hot when I ran Lion on it.

IPhone gets very hot when not being used!

Been having some trouble with my iPhone recently. For some reason the iPhone gets hot - I don't mean warm... When it's in my pocket I can feel the heat being generated, or sometimes I'll pick it up from my desk and it'll be warmer than me, even when it's not being used.
It's started doing this recently. I've already had to hard reset it due to other issues but in addition to the heat issue the battery goes down really quickly, again when it's not being used. Today from a full charge it was down to 50% in about 2 hours.
I had suspicions it was due to a recently installed app, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas? Does it sound like hardware or software to you? Is there an app I can use to see what app is being used the most (in terms of CPU/memory/battery usage)?

Thanks both. I've restored the device and I'll see how that goes. In addition I've turned off Bluetooth since it doesn't work properly (the reason for doing the first reset). I'm finding if my headset goes out of range of the iPhone, it disconnects and never reconnects to the iPhone. If the headset is out of range for too long and I try reconnecting it via the BT menu option by selecting the headset, it tries to find it but fails. I end up having to completely re-pair the headset all over again.
Any reason for this or is it a known issue with the bluetooth?

HT3371 When I plug in the computer to charge, the light is green for a minute and then turns red and the plug gets very hot. It's not the plug as it works on other computer. Why won't my computer charge?

When I plug in my MacBook Pro to charge, the light is green for a minute and then it turns red and the plug gets very hot. The plug works fine on another computer and charges it. Why won't my MacBook Pro charge?
