Excessive heat while using BootCamp/FSX

Hello,
I am using BootCamp to run FSX and it is working fine; however, I am concerned with the amount of heat my MBP is generating. It becomes uncomfortable for the lap after awhile. Is this a serious concern, or is heat normal and not harmful?
My thanks in advance.

FWIW you should not be using your MBP on your lap. It is a notebook not a laptop. Read your Users Guide page 66;
Proper handling Set up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for
adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your
MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow
vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro.
Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. If your
MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, move it to a stable work
surface.

Why does my Macbook Pro screen go black when the charger is plugged in while using bootcamp?

While on bootcamp, my computer runs perfectly fine unless I have the charger plugged in. Once I plug it in the screen goes black and starts to charge. I know the computer is still on because I can hear audio from videos if one is playing while I plug in the charger. Once I unplug it the screen comes back on. This makes it so I am unable to work on my computer with the charger plugged in. This is a new problem and did not start once I installed windows 7, it used to work fine. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your suggestion! It helped me with this issue as well. My problem was that I was that Windows had started but wasn't logged in yet--the brightness keys didn't work on the windows login screen. I had to log in to Windows, then plug in the power, then turn the brightness up.
Thanks again for the suggestion!

Is it safe to format and reinstall partition while using bootcamp?

I've got a macbook pro running OSX 10.9. Currently, I have my drive partitioned using bootcamp. I would really like to format and reinstall the apple side of my partition without doing anything to windows side. Is there anything to be worried about or will the formatting and reinstilation be the same as normal?

It will not disturb Boot Camp. Do this:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

I wiped my Mac desktop partition while using BootCamp. I want to just start over but how do i download snow leopard and start again?

I accidentally wiped my mac OS partition while trying to expand the memory on BootCamp windows to play games. I did this through dropping memory on the mac then trying to merge the unallocated memory with windows 7. I'm now left with windows 7 and next to no memory, i dont have any data i care about backing up as i've only just got this mac (i bought it off a friend and they can't find the installation CD) So i just want to start over but how can i do this?

You'll need to find the disks, or buy new ones. Snow Leopard only comes on DVD.
Call the Apple store and purchase SL for $29 while they still have some in stock. Prices have skyrocketed for SL retail disks. Going anywhere from $85 to $125. While you have Apple on the phone, make sure to have your Mac's serial number handy. This is important because the last retail release of SL was 10.6.3. If the Mac you now own came with 10.6.4 or later, it will not be able to use the retail disk.
If that's the case, then you can use the serial number to get the correct replacement gray disks the Mac came with. It's not expensive to get them and would be good to have anyway since the retail disks do not include the bundled software such as iLife, Garage Band and a bunch of others.

Slightly warm is normal but if it gets too hot to touch then you should have it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point as soon as possible.

I have an excessive dalay while using my iPhone-4 to play the guitar.

Analogue jack out is ok, but digital output is extremely delayed after IOS7 upgrade. Before the upgrade, no delay was appreciable. It happens with Jamup, Amplitube, Ampkit, etc.
Do you know if there is any way to save processing time in the digital output conversion?
I use the analog iRig (IK Multimedia) to connect the guitar to my Iphone4, but I heard it through the digital 30-pin connector output connected to a digital dock.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

Heat while using gps navigation

I am using iPhone 6 Plus and use GPS Navigation (google maps app) quite frequently. I have observed that the phone gets hot very quickly. I would say in around 5 mins of use one could feel the temperature rising. Is this normal? I am not using any case and this happenes even when there is no Sun exposure.

When you use Google Maps it downloads the maps as you travel. This uses cellular data. If you don't have a strong cellular signal the phone will get warm, as well as using up a lot of battery power.

How do you access numpad keys on a macbook pro retina (mid 2012) keyboard while using bootcamp and windows?

There are no function overlay for numpad on the keyboard and there are backlight controls where the numpad on/off was on previous macbook pro

Hello gerwintiemens,
I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.

Using bootcamp 5.1, Windows 7 home is installed but missed installing the drivers disk. How to install the Mac drivers for windows after the fact.

While using Bootcamp 5.1, and OS X 10.8.2, I partitioned my Mac disk with 80 Gigs for Windows 7 home and the install went great, but I must have missed the time when I was to install the Mac drivers disk to install the drivers for Windows,(when in Windows I don't have a mouse or optical drive.) Is there a way to install the drivers after Windows is installed, or do I have to go through the whole process all over again?

Press X key after the startup sound to boot into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, download Boot Camp drivers and burn them into a USB drive or DVD. Finally, boot in Windows and install drivers

When in Windows 7 (using bootcamp obviously) I am able to see my files in my Mac partition. When I try to access them I am told that I need permission from the administrator. How do I give myself permission to access files between the two partitions?

When in Windows 7 (while using bootcamp) I am able to see my personal files in my Mac partition. When I try to access them I am denied access, it tells me that I need permission from the administrator. How do I give myself permission to access files between the two partitions, Mac/Windows7?
