Downloaded Xcode 5.0.2 and Macbook is running hot

I just downloaded Xcode 5, and then the update to XCode 5.0.2, and my processor is running over 100%. As a result, my computer is running hot only while XCode is running. Can anyone give a solution why, or how to prevent this issue? Thank you much for your assistance.

I ultimately deleted XCode 5.0.2, emptied the Trash, which took 2 days, and then downloaded XCode 5.0.2 again. Unfortunately, it did not solve my issue. My CPU is currently running at 98.5%.
The processor does not run hot when XCode 5.0.2 is not running. This issue only started occuring after installing XCode 5. My CPU never ran hot while running XCode 4. I still need some suggestions on resolving this issue.
Thank you for your response.

Macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.

Safari 6 makes macbook pro run hot.

Hello, this is my first post in this forum.
I've noticed that often Safari makes macbook pro run hot. The fans speed up even though I don't have that many applications open and only a few Safari tabs open.
The only way to slow down the fan is to quit safari and open it. Did anyone else also notice this?
Also I have noticed that Safari doesn't display texts (especially in facebook chat) properly.

Try trashing the Safari cache more often ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, check Safari > Preferences > Extensions
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.
Emptying the cache and deleting history may also help the Facebook text issue.

Leopard on MacBook and MacBook Pro / running repair permissions

I upgraded both MacBook and MacBook Pro without major problems. I have been trying to repair permissions on the Mac Harddrive , and just get the spinning wheel. I have in the past run Onyx to perform routine maintenance tasks, but did not want to run any third party programs in relation to maintenance. Do I need to run it from the text tool disc? I never used to have to run it from disc.
Thanks.

I used Cocktail, Onyx, and YASU before Leopard, but had some problems with repairing disk permissions since upgrading to Leopard. Didn't know Cocktail had upgraded to Leopard. I'm impervious to snide remarks from self proclaimed experts.
We run a studio here north of NYC ( which is a standard ProTools HD Accel facility and won't touch Leopard for sometime) Leopard is on two laptops which seem to run good but slower since the Leopard upgrade. Might try the upgraded Cocktail.
As far as Beta Testors, That was the verbatim words out of level two Mac support. Their words not mine. Not one of the guys I talked to even planned on running Leopard on their own machines, as none of us in the pro community will either.
Having said that, it's on two of my laptops, just not the machines I run to do final mixes on.

Downloaded the new Lion software and now Mac runs slow. What went wrong?

I downloaded the new Lion software and now my Mac runs slow. What did I do wrong?

That didn' t fix it for me. and I also repaired and verified disk permissions that didn't help. So how do I do the next steps? Can you lay it out slowly for me please?
if that doesn't fix your slow down open disk utilities
-repair and varify disk permissions
-reboot and hold comman-R
-open disk utilities once your on your recovery partition
-repair disk and verify disk
-reboot and you imac should be running at tip top shape

Macbook pro runs hot

My early 2008 MacBook Pro runs very hot and can't tell if the fan is running.
Any suggestions?

User Tip: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?

My MacBook Pro runs HOT!

I have a first gen MacBook Pro. 2.16 GHz with 2 GB of RAM. I have noticed out of all the MacBook Pros I get at work, mine runs the hottest. I use SMC Fan Control to give me my temps. Mine with iTunes, Entourage, FireFox, and Adium running at default fan speed of 2000 RPM, my temps get to 163-167 F. I tested another non Core 2 Duo with the same specs as mine, and same programs. It not only ran cooler, but 20-30 degrees cooler at the default fan speed. A few of my co-workers who had early MBPs say that their temps normally averaged 100-120 F at the default speed, but they would bump it up to 3000-4000 to get it cooler. I had to run my fan at 6000 RPM to even get it to be nearly as cool as these other MacBook Pros at my work. I am definitely not to happy running the fan at 6000 RPM to get it even bearable on my lap. I know that the first gen MBPs run hot, but god 30 degrees hotter? What can I do about this?

They run hotter and work fine. Installing haxies that disable a CPU sounds totally daft and I certainly would not buy a dual core computer then use one core.
There are a number of cooling pads with fans that add additional cooling and protect the motherlode when using on your lap.

MacBook Pro running hot after upgrade

Hey everyone,
First off: Upgraded to Mountain Lion and I absolutely love it. I'm running on a December 2011 MacBook Pro Unibody 15", 8 Gigs ram, i7, SSD 256 drive (Apple). It had Lion installed when it came, obviously.
Now that I upgraded to Mountain Lion, it's running several degrees celcius hotter than before, after a couple of hours of using it. I figured I'd give it a few hours to do its search database thing etc...you know, let the system stuff in the background settle down, but it's still running very hot.
Is this something which eveyrone else has been experiencing? I've got two methods of checking the tempurature: iStat Nano on the Dashboard (which I don't use for anything else...) and smcFanControl which sits in my menu bar. Both give me the same tempurature and it's running literally about 5 to 7 degrees more (or sometimes even spiking at 15 degrees more for a few seconds) than before.
Just wondering if I'm the only one? Should I be patient and give it a day or so? Any tips?
Thanks,
Nat.

You're right that in the first few hours ML will be busy in the background running certain processes like indexing Spotlight and Time Machine.
You can see if these are still indexing by looking at the menu bar. Click on Spotlight - if you get a progress bar saying its indexing, just leave everthing alone till its finished. If you look at the TM icon, it should be slowly circling if TM is still indexing. Again, click on the icon and see what it says.
If these seem to have completed, check in Activity Monitor.app (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app) as to what is using up %CPU time. If you see kernel_task is running wild (+80%) , try a PRAM reset. To do so, folllow this procedure:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should and with the kernel_task process back to normal.

Macbook 2007 running hot, upgrades/service that can help?

In need of a little help if I can get any advice.
My mid-2007 Macbook is running WAY too loud hot and the battery, which always lasted for an average of 2-2.5 hours, is now only lasting for about 1-1.5 hours. This is a new problem, might've started after I put iLife '11 on the computer, because it wasn't an issue about a month ago...I meet the required specs for running it, but I'm thinking this is what caused the problem. It also seems to be taking longer to charge it. My goal is to get this thing running better so I can get another 2 years out of it before I get I new laptop. I've had it for just about 4 years now and I'd like to get to 6.
I'm running 10.6.7, iLife '11.
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Here is the battery info:
Here is the activity monitor:
I was thinking about getting a 2GB RAM card so that the computer is running 3GB instead of only 2, because I can barely run Parallels at this point without wanting to rip my hair out.
I was also going to change to a 500gb HD as I only have 12gb left on the 320gb one that is in it now. Figure it would help have more than about 3% of the HD space available on it. Will removing some stuff of the hard drive now help? Until I get the bigger one? I can put a lot of my TV shows on an external and free up about 23gb for a total of 10% of the HD space free instead of 3%.
So, other than upgrading one of the 1gb ram cards to 2gb and putting in a new hard drive (I was going to go to 500, but now I'm thinking I should go to 640 or 750 instead so that I'm good for the next two years), what is recommended? I can take it to get looked at by a local Mac service provider for $35. They'll let me know of anything I need done and give me the option of it I want it or not. Any thoughts?
Guess I'm just trying to figure out what I should concentrate on more? Getting it looked at? Adding the RAM? Freeing up HD space? Something else? I would like to wait for the upgrade in HD size so I can get bigger than 500gb.
And in regard to the HD: Is it recommended to stay with the 5400rpm instead of going to 7200? Considering it is running hot I'd think I should stick with 5400rpm, 3.0gb/s, 8mb cache? Any recommendations which one to go with? I know I need to avoid ones with motion sensors...but what does that mean? I see two 750gb models on Newegg, but neither say anything about that (Western Digital WD7500BPVT Scorpio Blue Mobile Hard Drive & Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 0J11563 2.5" Hard Drive)
THANKS!!!! :-)

You've asked about 10 questions in one post and that's not a good idea. If you have 10 questions to ask then you get more replies if you start 10 separate threads.
Regarding your first question (overheating), try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
and also resetting the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Macbook pro and time capsule run hot

How hot should the laptop be getting? It only does this intermittently and more so up by the speakers, and the speakers are not always running. The Time capsule is on all the time and is hot all the time. Not so hot as to melt the plastic etc but I was interested in the amount of heat these should be releasing. Any information would help to ease my mind. I am new to Apple products and clearly heat is not unusual for the PC world. Thank you Douglas

If you simply want a cooler Mac, download smcFanControl - this program lets you set a minimum speed for the fans. I set it to 2400 - 2000 is the standard minimum temp that the MacBook Pro sets, and IMO it's just not enough.
I live in a pretty hot country so the MacBook Pro would get too hot to touch frequently. smcFanControl allows you to set a few different profiles, so when you think your computer is too hot, you can just switch to another profile and set min fan speed to, say 3000 or 4000 RPM. It only really starts to make noise at 4000.
Apple obviously had to strike a balance between noise and heat, and IMO they allow the MBP to run too hot. It will eventually damage components. I lost a hard drive and I am pretty sure it was due to heat because I had left the MBP unattended and charging, and it just felt extremely hot to the touch. The next day, the hard disk was dead...

15" MacBook Pro runs hot, fan is loud, and incredibly low battery life

My 15" MBP was bought in March or April (can't remember) from Singapore Apple Store. Here are the stats:
MacBook Pro 15-Inch, Late 2011
Memory 8 GB 12222 MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Also I'm using about 1/2 of the available 750 GB of storage.
Here's what's up:
1. The fans boot immediately after the computer is turned on and never stop, making everything much too loud...like a plane is taking off or something.
2. The computer is WAY too hot. Right now I'm running Astrill, Chrome, Activity Monitor, and System Utility, and when I put my hands on the thing it feels like my fingers are going to melt.
3. The battery life, even at a full charge, is about an hour overall, which ***** for so, so many reasons.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I took it to the Shanghai Genius Bar, but I think that the language barrier is impeding my ability to really say what's wrong. I backed up, and they wiped the hard drive, re-loaded the OS and put all my old stuff back on the computer. They also deleted SOMETHING from the Preferences part of the library, but I don't know what it was. Everything runs much faster now, but the fan, the heat, and the battery are still having their issues.
2. I've checked the "all processes" CPU usage. There's nothing unusual (as far as I can tell), so I'm at a serious loss as to say why the computer is running so hard. Even with all the processing running as you see below, the fan's still blasting and I've lost 50% battery life in the past 40 minutes.
3. I've tried the fix that requires deleting com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.lockfile. It changed the way the desktop looked and absolutely nothing else.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me! I'm a graphic designer and often run the CS6 Suite. (Currently, however, I am NOT running any Adobe programs and I'm still experiencing the problems.) It's really important that I am able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign at once, and it CAN, but with the heat problems I'm having without ANY of the graphics stuff running, it worries me.

Just took another look at iStat Menus (I've only had it for a couple of days - I used to use the old iStat Pro widget) and it seems as if you can make fan speed defaults and use them instead of relying on your MBPs sensors to take care of the fans... see...
Might want to use that 'medium' speed (there by default as I know I didn't add it) and keep an eye on your temps. If you start heating up to much, go back to the 'Default'.
