My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

  • My 13" MacBook pro gets really hot without extended or heavy usage

    My 13" MacBook pro gets really hot without extended or heavy usage and the fan's noise is annoying, my friends say this is not normal
    Is it normal?
    It gets really hot especially when there is flash content

    I am also having what I feel are excessive temperatures and fans while doing nothing tasks like web browsing.
    Can anyone tell me what the reasonable operating ranges are for the various components?
    There is a program called "Tmperature Monitor" which is free and gives even more sensor readings than iStat Pro.
    Why does flash make it so hot?  I have this problem too.
    Also is it normal when connecting only one external display and just browsing the web for the GPU to be at 85-90C (194F)?
    Any idea why iStat always shows a lower battery percentage than OSX?
    Thanks

  • My MacBook Pro gets really hot after I install OS X 10.10.3. Can Someone help?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

  • Put my macbook pro to sleep. When I opened it, the desktop window is small and I can't resize it. All applications now run in the smaller size window.  Can't make it fill the screen. Just switched from windows.  Thank you.

  • Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

    Hi Guys,
    Good day to you all!
    I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
    What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
    I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
    I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
    Best regards,
    Aris

    It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea.   But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac.    The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one.    Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless.   If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for.   Do get AppleCare before it is a year old.  That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.

  • Macbook pro getting really hot

    Newguy here. Not new to macs just the forum. 
    My question / observation is this. Since installing the thunderbolt upgrade yesterday my 13" macbook is getting really hot on the underside.  It is nearly too hot to touch at times. The heat is centered on the rear corner near the power port and is there regardless of whether the ac plug is in or not.I'm concerned this may be a problem
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    So what I did was go into the utilities folder and open up the activity monitor application. Look for the one that's using all the cpu power then quit the offender and restart the computer.
    In my case it was report crash that was doing the damage.  If I simply quit report crash then went back to what I was doing it would do it again in a few minutes but quitting it then restarting solved it.
    Hope that gets you going in the right direction.....

  • My MacBook Pro makes strange noises when I open iPhoto and when I close it.

    My MacBook Pro makes strange noises when I close my laptop and when I open iPhoto.  iPhoto then proceeds to close when the noise stops.  Is there any cure for this? Please help.

    What kind of noise? Any other app make noise?

  • Now that I downloaded Lion games on the Pogo set site won't load. I checked everything I could think of - is there something I can do about this?

    Games on the pogo site wont open after I downloaded Lion. I don't have any problem with any other site I go to - just pogo and i've never had a problem before I downloaded lion, is there something I can do?

    I'm having the same problem with Pogo now that I've installed Lion.  I used your link,ds store, to check plug-ins and it said I needed to update my Java applet.  However, the download screen says that updates for Apple are only available inside Software Updates.  That's the first thing I checked when I started having problems, and I have no pending updates to install.  I guess that means we're stuck until Apple releases update fixes for us in the next day or two (if they stick to their previous pattern).  I also had my Mail application freeze and had to Force Quit.  I must say, this is the buggiest OS upgrade I've ever installed from Apple!  I'm having my family members and friends hold off on purchasing Lion until these issues are corrected.  Is there a preferred way for us to contact Apple to register our issues with Lion so they can track these glitches?

  • MacBook Pro getting really hot when connected to a Thunderbolt display

    Hi everybody,
    I had this problem since I can remember, when I connect my MBP to the Thunderbolt display the laptop is getting hot and the CPU-Fan is working preatty laud.
    I had to turn radio on because it is quite anoying
    Here some technical data:
    MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011
    Processor  2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Serial Number  C0******V7L
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
    SDD: Crucial M4 CT512M4SSD2 2.5" 512GB SATA III
    I don't have any haevy programs running but, I think, also the load average is a bit high. In most cases around 2.0 But when it is not connected to the display it's not getting that hot.
    Any idea what the problem may be? Or maybe it's jus normal?
    Regards,
    Radek
    <Edited by Host>

    I'm seeing similar behavior when I disconnect my TBD. My Retina MBP doesn't go to sleep. I get to work an hour later and it is very hot to the touch.
    I'm not seeing lots of people complaining, so I wonder if it's something weird I do. Do you have VMWare Fusion or XQuartz running when you try and sleep?

  • Whenever i play dota 2 my macbook pro gets really hot. is this ok?

    I just recently got my macbook pro 13 inch with normal factory specs. i downloaded steam and got dota 2 which is btw a really fun game. but whenever i play it, about 10 minutes in my computer starts to get really hot on the bottom. it gets hot to the point where if i put my hand there to see how hot it is, it starts to burn and actually hurt my hand and it doesnt feel good to keep it there long lol. but im wondering if this is normal and if its ok to keep playing? When it gets that hot it makes me want to stop playing because i dont want to progressively fry the components overtime as i need to keep this computer for a long time. i almost forgot to mention that im playing on pretty settings as far as graphics. i have alot of things turned off including shadows and antialiasing and other stuff that i really dont care about and the game still looks great but the computer still gets really hot. any help would be appreciated and thank you!

    Hello:
    The Mac will shut down if the thermal parameter is exceeded (I don't know what that is).  However, if it was me, I would stop playing the game.

  • Macbook Pro getting really hot and loud under stress.

    To put it simply, i use my macbook pro for game development. Some of the programs/games i run on it are high quality and make my macbook pro (with a 750M installed) incredibly hot. Judging from the app (iStat) the average RPM's of the fans are around 2000rpm. When i have to render something, the macbook starts to get really really hot, and the fans start getting really loud. I checked the fans RPM and it shows that they are going at 6000rpm.
    The average temperature when not doing things of the CPU and other components is around 35-50 degrees celcius. When i'm working and it has to render something, and i have to play/test my creation the temperatures go up to around 90 degrees celcius.
    Is this safe? I don't want the inside of my brand new laptop to melt under the stress. Keep in mind, i bought one of these because it was suggested that mac's are the better option for graphics and design rather than PC.
    If you look at the picture and see that my OS is not Yosemite, that is because i've seen many bad reviews that it can cause overheating. I'm trying to prevent that as much as possible with the workload i have to work with.
    Thanks for any help possible.
    My Specs = http://i.imgur.com/fIGlzcZ.png

    I just got mine a week or two ago and I also have noticed how loud and hot mine gets. Mine also has the GT 750. The heat is normal enough but how loud it gets is very annoying.
    I think I know why its so loud but cant say for sure. I think its one of those fans on the gpu with side fins rather than a normal fan. Ive had graphics cards before with those fans and they are louder than the normal fans when under load. Now I go for a card that has a couple of larger "normal fans" to keep it cool. Also these side fin fans would be better for a laptop as they will shoot the hot air directly out the back.
    Im still not sure why the fan spins so fast when playing a simple game. Its understandable with a more demanding game.
    Hopefully you know what I mean though im not explaining it that well.

  • L connector to my MacBook Pro getting really really hot.

    Is this o.k. or do I need to bet a new charger?  They are just so dang expensive.  Thank you.

    Apple has allowed geniuses to have much more discretion with Power adapter issues that may have SAFETY Issues for customers.
    Getting really hot could be considered a safety issue. Make an appointment to go see them (take ALL your stuff in) and maybe they will agree and replace it for you.

  • Mid-2012 macbook pro gets kernel panics when waking from sleep

    Hi all,
    I got a new mid-2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (10.7.5) at the end of Oct which started kernel panicking pretty much from day one. The kernel panics only occur when the computer is put to sleep and reawaken after more than an hour or so has passed. I get a grey screen that eventually shows text like "Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Please wait a few seconds or press any key to continue" and then the OS boots up again. Bizarrely, this doesn't usually happen if the computer has only been asleep for a short time - i.e. 15 min or less.
    Below is the kernel panic log, which seems to suggest there's an issue with the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card.
    Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Advice is much appreciated.
