Does anyone feel that Macbook easily gets too warm?

I was a PC user and I never felt my IBM gets warm this easily. Is it common to macbook, or I need to take my computer to Support to check it up?
It looks to me that my vent doesnt have the plastic cover over it as an earlier post has suggested.

yes, my 2Ghz MB gets warm very quickly after a cold start, given the CPU isn't working hard. The CPU cores are at about 60C as others have said.
Not tried to measure the case's temp, but it is not lap-able, just like my older, P4 (around 1.6-1.8Ghz) notebooks, ThinkPad T, Dell D320 and HP/Compaq nc6000. It is obvious.
The MB is powerful, CPU not usually working too hard. But when I imported 2Gb to iphoto, the CPU had enough work to kick in the fans. It got a bit noiser but it cools down so much that I thought it was definitely cooler than normal. I have a feeling that Apple has set the firmware to tollerate 60C at idle but spin the fans regardless of temperature when CPU is constantly under load.
I would recommend you to get a sleeve or something. I bought the standard sleeve from Wrappers (their heat protecting one is out of stock) and it is now lap-able. MB's design doesn't require me to give airflow to the bottom (unlike my old HP) so it didn't make it even warmer. In fact, even a magazine would do the trick. This is my 1 of only 2 problems with the MB, the other being stupidly low max volume on the speakers even though it clearly can handle much more!

I feel like my iPad 2 loses it's charge too fast does anyone feel that way too?

I feel like my ipad2 loses it's charge too fast it's brand new does anyone have the same issue?

No. But there are things to watch out for, to save your battery. Do you completely close down your apps, at least periodically? If not, some apps may be communicating or performing work in the background, using up power. To check, double click the Home button. A list of recently used apps appears along the bottom. Press one for a few seconds until they all wiggle. Then press the x to close them. Admittedly many apps are not designed to multi-task, but for those that do, they keep working in the background. Also, how high is your brightness setting. I keep mine near the low end. Brightness also chews up power - a lot. Do you keep your bluetooth on?

Does anyone feel that the new iPhoto app for the new iPad is slow?

Hello, Whenever I try to edit to edit photos,which are almost 18MP(megapixel is what i meant) in iPhoto, I notice a lag and sometimes it gets stuck and closes the app. Is it just for me or does anyone else have this problem?

Does Anyone Feel That Palm's Repair Service Seems Shaky?

My Palm TX suffered from the same headphone socket defect that many other TX owners posted about. The socket worked fine for a while but then the internal switch jammed and the external speaker no longer worked. I made a call to service and set up a repair. It sounded simple enough. Ship the unit to us and we will fix it. A person by the name of "Nobody" from Innovate-It.com sent me the SRO number and shipping details on 11/25 and off I went to the post office on 11/26. I shipped it USPS with tracking, delivery confirmation and insurance. The post office tracking was going well until 11/26 when the message "Missent" appeared in the tracking information. Missent? Where did it go?Then on 12/01 the message "Notice Left" came up in the activity alerts. Where exactly is the repair center that no one was there at 12:15 p.m.? It sounded like they were dropping it off at someone's house and no one was home.
Here is what I know so far about Palm's repair service. From what I have researched, Innovate-It is a repair logistics subset of a Netherlands-based software development company and has other clients besides Palm. (Why does everything need to be outsourced? I would pay more for a Palm if they would just keep tech support in-house. But in this global economy nothing is 100% "Made in USA" anyway so it comes as no surprise).
The unit was finally delivered on 12/02 but the Self Service page did not indicate "In Repair" until 12/08 at 2:33 p.m. and it has not changed since. How long does it take to diagnose a simple audio circuit? If people have been able to remedy this issue with WD-40 on a Q-Tip WITHOUT opening the unit, what is the holdup at the repair center for a warranty repair in which it is OK to open the casing? Furthermore, the confirmation email says that DHL is supposed to deliver the unit back to me and the Self Service page gives a tracking link page for FedEx. I am worried about my TX getting home at all. Aren't there any repair centers in the Chicagoland area authorized by Palm?
To summarize We spend enough on the unit itself and then have to pay to ship it to a repair facility to which no contact is possible and our only indication anything is going on is Self Service screen that gives little details about where a work order is in the cue, what the turnaround time will be, and when it will be returned. "No need to call us[?]" I think the repair facility needs to have a contact number available for customers to check on their repairs. A total quality product includes the people who stand behind it. That includes support and repair personnel. Right now, service is not scoring points with me.
UPDATE: PLEASE SEE MY NEW THREAD "Palm's Shaky Repair Service Has Found Solid Ground". The rapid response to this message impressed me, and I felt it was appropriate to acknowledge their efforts.

Welcome to the Palm Forums,
By any chance did you get a Service Request number when you called our support? If you did please Personal Message(PM) me that number. This way I can look into this and see if we can get this back to you soon.

10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39)

Does anyone else's ipad 4 get really hot my ipad 2 didn't do that

Does anyone know when Macbook Airs had matte screens?

I own a mid-2011 13" Macbook Air. I purchased this computer through th Apple website and went through all of the customization options maxing out whatever was available to me. At the time, there was the option to choose a matte or a glossy screen (this is not offered now - just glossy). I chose matte because I had heard about eye strain stories and was uninterested in a glossy screen, especially one just created with a coating (not glass). I have used my computer ever since and it definitely had a matte, anti-glare screen. Nothing like the glossy screens that are offered now. I recently had the screen replaced due to some problems, but they replaced it with a glossy screen. The Apple store is now insisting that it is impossible I ever had a matte screen, as it was never offered, and that I am just making this up, or too stupid to know what screen I was using for 2.5 years, or that it's actually the same screen and I just think it's glossy now because it's "new". I am extremely upset that I'll have to be using a glossy screen now, but more upset at the way Apple has treated me over this.
I wanted to see if anyone else has a non-glossy Macbook Air screen (not a screen protector/anti-glare filter cover thing) or knows anyone who does. My screen did not have the sharp reflections that it does now, I saw it next to a glass screen every day that I used it and the difference was striking. I could sometimes get the purplish not-sharp reflections that did not impede viewing, but nothing like it has now. If anyone else had/has a screen on their macbook air that was anti-glare/matte, please let me know. I know that the Apple Support page for this model of computer states it is only offered in glossy (then, and now).

From
MacBook Air - Wikipedia
and
MacBook Air Tech Specs
it does not appear that MacBook Air has ever had a matte screen.
Maybe the nature of the glossy screen has changed since 2011?

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.

Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software

Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software on my nano because my nano had a feature that when i held down the menu button for a couple of seconds, the backlight turned on.......well ever since i downloaded the most recent software, everytime i hold down the menu button, it goes directly to the menu(which im not very enthusiastic about). Can anyone please help me if you can? I appreciate your help=)

i agree with you 100%, i really want that feature back! it was so useful being able to turn the backlight on and off whenever i wanted. unfortunately im in the same boat as you are as i dont know how to get the old software
