23" Display really hot

I have had this monitor for two days and it generates an extreme amount of heat. I went back to the shop where I purchased it and all monitors the had on display 30" down to the smallest one were a lot cooler than mine. Is this a problem and should I return for a new one?

It was actually turned right up. I've turned it down and we'll see how it reacts. It takes about four and a half hours to get really hot. Thanks and I'll post the findings on Monday.
Cheers, S.

MBP won't wake, is REALLY HOT, fans going full blast

This morning I made sure when I closed the lid on my MacBook Pro, that it went to sleep (pulsing sleep light). I found that this doesn't always happen right away, unlike the old Powerbooks. I then put it into my laptop bag, confident that it was fully hibernating.
When I arrived at work and pulled the MBP out of the bag, the sleep light was solid white, the laptop was really hot on all sides, and the fans were running hard. I opened the lid and there was no display, although I knew it wasn't sleeping because I could hit "caps lock" and it would toggle on/off. Apparently it had awaked while in my bag for some reason. The only way I could regain control was to hold down the power button and start from a "cold" boot. When I logged back in I could not find anything odd in /var/log/system.log during the time before the reboot.
My Energy Saver settings for "battery" mode are set to "Better Battery Life" so theoretically nothing should be able to externally wake the MBP. Bluetooth is Off. I have no idea then what caused it to wake up and flip out. This is the second time this has happened and I've been wary of its sleep behavior. Is there an updated SMC firmware for the 17" model yet?
This is really worrying because I could have left it in my bag for a lot longer and who knows, maybe it would have caught fire!

It happened again. I did a hard shutdown to keep it from really geting hot. After the boot, I checked the system.log. At the time which I suspect the interrupted sleep occured I saw this, which seemed to repeat a few times:

There is some indication that Bluetooth is involved (I could be wrong) but I know my Bluetooth is Off (icon is dimmed) and it is set to NOT wake the computer.

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

My macbook has recently started getting really hot after using it for a brief time, is there something wrong

Hi
My macbook has started getting really hot after using it for only maybe 10 minutes or so, it can go up to 73 degrees quite quickly, I am only surfing the net etc but have a few pages open at the same time.
Also should I switch it off after I finish using it or is it ok to leave it in sleep mode for long periods of time......
it is about 1 year old
thanks

First try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If there is no change, install istat menus:
http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and %CPU to display values from high to low.
Look for a process that consumes a large % of CPU.
You may post images of both for inspection.
Ciao.

Mac book pro with retina display gets hot

I have noticed lately that when using my macbook pro with retina display gets really hot when using it - I dont think tis is normal. Or is it? I have had it less that a year and use if for photography editing.

What is hot? Heat in a MBP will be a function of the applications used and the stress that they place on the CPU/GPU.
If you can provide actual temperature data using Temperature Monitor from Bresink.com or iStat pro and an image of Activity Monitor, then an evaluation can be made if there is an issue. Note that Activity Monitor should be set to 'All Processes' and '%CPU' to display values from high to low.
These are examples from my MBP:
Ciao.

Macbook Air seems to get really hot after coming after sleep

Hello,
I recently purchased a macbook air and it seems to get really hot after coming out of sleep. Even in idle the CPU temp remains at approximatley 80 degrees celsius plus. The only fix to this seems to be restarting the computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

Curve 8530 Got Really Hot

My 8530 was bought in March of this year. About a month ago the phone got really hot to the touch and died. I was given a new battery under warranty, but it just happened again. My phone was replaced with a re-furb. That second phone just did the same thing this weekend. What is wrong with the 8530 that is causing it to heat up like this?

Is this occuring while charging or what? Where is the phone at the time?
I know these batteries do NOT like heat above (roughly speaking) 115+ degrees fahrenheit.
They don't charge well in that kind of heat, the battery drains quicker in that high heat.

IMac gets really hot

Hi everybody,
I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo and I usually leave it on for the entire day. Lately I've been noticing that it gets really hot on the top near the ventilation opening. The fans don't sound like they're working very hard, though.
Here are some stats from iStat:
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2600/screenshot20100514at103.png
I am very concerned about this, I'm out of warranty.
Thank you very much for your advice,
Jonathan Borichef

I have a new iMac 27" dual i7. This Mac gets so hot, I am concerned it could be a fire hazard or a danger. I shut it down when I am not around. This can't be normal, correct? I am taking it to Apple on Monday, is it possible I got a lemon? This seems to be a larger issue as I do research online about this heat problem with the iMac. Also, there is a smell from the computer as if something is overheating.
Is this a software or a hardware problem? It would be nice if I did not have to pack up the computer and haul it to the Apple Store. Plus the fan is very loud. I have been in the Apple Store and I don't feel any of these problems with there floor displays. Is there a problem with Apple's Quality Control? Also, because Apple is on top of the tech market right now are they getting sloppy with QC?
If you have answers or solutions please reply.

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

Hp pavilion dv4-1225dx getting really hot

ive been feeling my laptop get really hot the past few weeks... when it gets hotter ive just been turning it off but im starting to get worried somethings gonna fry.
the heat seems to be coming from the hard drive. the heat can be felt on the area just to the left of the touchpad and up to the keyboard. i can feel the heat coming through the last row of keys. the bottom is also extremely hot way more than the top and in the area that says "hp protect smart" which i think is where the hard drive is.
just downloaded everest and the temperature is running at 70 C / 158 F.
i havent changed anything on my machine and am wondering where the heck this is coming from and why. ive barely had the laptop over a year and this problem started maybe a month ago.
what can i do? there doesnt seem to be dust in the fans from what i can tell from the outside, but maybe i should take it apart and clean it anyway?
anyone got any ideas?

just as an update, i ended up taking it into best buy (geek squad) because i have a 2 year service plan with them. they did a bios update and it seems to have somewhat fixed the problem. i no longer have the noisy fans (weird) and the temperature has gone down somewhat. it is still warmer than id like but i think im out of options here. probably will buy a laptop cooler soon. its also horrible that while searching for a fix myself to the heating issue, i couldnt find any hp documentation regarding a bios update possibly fixing this problem. i could of done the update myself instead.
i gotta say though, the lack of support from hp is horrible. not only was this a problem that occured (conveniently) 2 weeks after the 1 year hp warranty ran out but now my left touchpad button is basically falling off too. i had another hp a few years back and the harddrive on that laptop died 1 week after the warranty ran out. how convenient for hp.
i am in serious doubts if i ever want another hp.

IPhone 4 battery drains really fast and phone gets really hot

I have an iPhone 4 and since November 15 my battery has been draining really fast and gets really hot when I use the phone. When I try to charge the phone with my computer it doesn't charge, but only charges with the wall hub. I have tried deleting the email accounts, deleting all apps, restoring with the backup, restoring without the backup, and still no luck. I went to the Apple store and they briefly looked at it and said it had water damage by looking at the water damage indicator in the charging port. They told me I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. I don't recall getting my phone getting wet and it seems to work fine except for the battery drain and the computer charging problem. iTunes still recognizes the phone. I thought it was a battery problem so I ordered a new battery and replaced it myself and the battery was still draining fast. When I had the phone open the other water damage indicators were still white (no water damage), it was just the charging port indicator that was red (water damaged). Also, when I charge my phone with the wall hub it charges very slowly. I have ran out of ideas and I could really use some suggestions. Thank you.

i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

My iPhone 4 was run over at work worked fine for 5 days then got really hot and shut down. I can not get it to power back up. I have photos that were not backed up is there anyway that I can retrieve my photos from the phone?

MY iPhone 4 was run over at work by a forklift the screen was badly cracked but other than that worked fine for 6 days. Then it got really hot while charging and shut down and will not power back up. I have photos on this phone that we're not backed up to I cloud is there any way to retrieve my photos from this phone?

No. You probably should have backed it up while it was working during those 6 days...

I need help!! I drop my iphone4s in the toilet and its been in rice since Saturday and it wont turn on. I plugged it in and it got really hot. Is my phone not working at all no more.

Computer getting really hot

Hi,
My Mac is really hot when I touch it. I can hear it processing when normally it is very quiet. I have tried turning off any programs I am not using as well as checking for viruses (nothing identified). It is still really hot though. Should I be worried?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately this temperature monitor is no longer available. I also looked for the iStat Pro app but this is also unavailable for download.
Do you know of any others ways I can get information about the temperature, preferably without cost?

Really hot macbook pro

my macbook pro gets really hot. i know that laptops get warm, but sometimes my laptop gets so hot that it seems like it could burn.

What model MacBook Pro do you have?
Also, have you tried:
http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/
I set it at 2500 RPM and it seems to keep my machine cool.
If it continues to be hot, take it to a genius or call apple support.
