How can i check the temperature of my macbook pro

Hi, my Macbook pro, purchased in November '13, seems to get quite warm when streaming videos or using skype. I understand that these are heavy on the VPU, but it seems to get a lot warmer than my other PC notebooks. The fan was audible for the first time ever today. Is there a trusted app that can be used to measure core temps?

There are many.
iStatPro is a widget for the Dashboard.
Temperature Monitor is one such app.
Google, try the app store.

  • How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro ?

    How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro to make sure i have what i ordered? THe last time I wanted the SATA 7200rpm but they sent me the 5400. How do I see this on my mac? can't seem to find it.

    Here is something i copied from another forum site that could answer your question-
    Look in your "System Profiler", you can find it using Spotlight or looking for it in the Utilities folder, which is in your Applications folder.
    This will give you the model number, which you will then have to find online (probably using Google) to find out what speed that particular model number is.
    Then again, someone might have an easier answer.
    "That's exactly what I did. My MacBook Pro has a Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS Drive in it. Running that model number, it shows a 7200 RPM speed."

  • How can I check the temperature of the CPU in the MacBook Pro retina

    I want to check the temperature of the CPU in my MacBook Pro retina, but I can't find an application to do this. Is it even possible to do this?

    I would find Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor more trustworty, as he has just updated the code and explicitly states compatibility with all 2012 models:  http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    I have just downloaded the "Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor"/
    You are correct, it does give a more accurate reading.
    MSTM = 54 C
    iStat Pro = 70 C

  • How can I remove the ifunbox from my MacBook Pro?

    I accidentally downloaded and installed the ifunbox and now I can not remove it. How can I get rid of it? Thank you.

    You may have already found your answers but if not, you simply use your finder. Select 'Applications' on the side. Then find the iFunbox icon and drag it to your trash bin. Give it a few seconds and then check your launchpad. I should be gone. I had the same problem and got very frustrated at the fact that I couldn't remove it through the launchpad, as I do other apps. Hope this helped, that is if you still needed it.

  • How-to: how do I check the disk speed on MacBook Pro?

    I ordered and received a MacBookPro 15". I ordered the faster disk: "200GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm [Add $100.00]" QUESTION: how can I verify that I did in fact got this 7200 rpm disk?
    thanks
    Foad

    Check your System Profiler. Go to your Apple menu, select "About This Mac," click on "More Info" and click on "Serial-ATA" in your System Profiler. It will give you the make and model number of the drive.

  • How can I clean the keys on my Macbook Pro?

    I got my macbook pro 7 months ago and the keys look terrible. I guess my fingers are naturally greasy, because the keys aren't as matte and rough as they were when I got the macbook; they're softer, have oil patches and are worn down. I've searched this topic everywhere but couldn't get a direct answer, and my keys need to be cleaned... Also, are they supposed to be worn down? My friend has had her macbook since last year and her keyboard is still matte and brand new, even though she doesn't clean it or use a keyboard cover. :T

    I have cleaned my keys using two methods 1) with the microfiber cloth the mac came with.  I made sure the cloth wasn't very wet. 2) I used electronic wipes.  Both yielded excellent results.  Make sure your mac is turned off and the magsafe power adapter is unplugged.  I have had my current mac for 15 months and the keys do not appear to be worn at all, but I suppose it depends on how hard you type and how often.

  • How can I make the Finder on my MacBook Pro recognize my iPad as a device?

    I need to transfer images from my iPad to my MacBook Pro while preserving "file created" date and time information.  Trying to do this using iPhoto has not been working for Vertical *****, since the program auto-rotates the images and marks them as created at the time they are imported.  I would prefer to copy the images directly from the iPad to the MacBook Pro, but the iPad is not recognized as a device by the laptop's Finder, even though iTunes and iPhoto detect it.  Any advice?

    This is very frustrating...  I did not capitalize the first letter of "vertical" and did not use any inappropriate words.  This forum should provide a way to preview and edit posts.  I believe I conveyed my question adequately and appreciate any feedback despite any possible distractions...

  • How can I check the temperature of my MBP?

    I'm slightly concerned about how hot my MBP can get and I want to be able to get an accurate reading, is there something I can use to do this? Or is there something in the OS that allows me to read the current temperature?
    Thanks

    Personally I would install Michael Bresnik's program called "Hardware Monitor" it will allow you to monitor both core's temps, GPU temp, HD temp, fan speeds and all sorts of cool things. it wil display them in the menu, on the desktop, in windows etc etc. There is a free "Lite" version but its worth the $ (I think its like $10-$15). Its a Universal app and its a mandatory ap for me.
    Go to htp://www.versiontracker.com and look for it, or http://www.macupdate.com and look there.
    HTH,

  • How can I pass the efi password on macbook pro?

    I change my harddisk, because the othr one have bad sectors. I cannot pass the step with efi password.

    I got one 2011 MBA from Craigslist , and it had firmware password on it, i foun out when I try to reinstall the Os, but already few months later after I bought the laptop, so i can not find seller anymore, until i found his post from eBay, it is really quick, only 6 days shipping included, also I was worry abou he is going to change my hardware, so I put mark with permanent marker in the logic board, SSD, battery..., I double check all mark after I got it back, looks like nothing get replace or changed.
    It is amazing job,
    Just one of my suggestion

  • How can I stop the wifi causing my MacBook Pro from crashing?

    Hi,
    It seems that my notebook is locking up completely when Mail launches and tries to grab emails.
    Occasionally I boot up and the 'wifi fan' icon on the menu bar is completely white: it doesn't find the router signal automatically.
    If I get the 'three arcs: full signal" on the menu bar and I surf, I can get to a few pages, then I can't get another page to load up: but the 'three arcs' are still there.
    If I click on the wifi fan logo and switch off wifi, when I try to switch it back on again, it simply won't show the 4 different signals it used to give me yesterday (mine and my neighbours). This is weird as in the past I could get surfing to work again by switching off wifi and switching it back on again. Not any more. So now I have to do a restart to get wifi working again. Yuck!
    I also got a complete crash when I got iTunes to download some updated apps for my iPhone.
    The following may or may not be related... I've just plugged in my iPhone, and I get a window saying "A new network interface has been detected. The 'iPhone USB" network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface, use Network Preferences." I have never seen this before, but I clicked on the button and the notebook seems happy now.
    I look forward to your comments and suggestions! Thanks for being there!

    Use a cloud serivce like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, etc.
    Personally, I use Box and it works very well.

  • How can I charge the battery in my macbook pro on a plane

    I am getting ready to take a flight to Australia. How what do i need to get to charge the battery on the plane?

    You have to bring your charger with you and hope their is an electrical outlet that is compatible with your charger near the seat you are sitting in.  I do not know of any other way.

  • How can I improve the performance of my macbook pro?

    My macbook is running really slow. is there a good free way to see if there is something wrong with it?

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • How can i check for virus in my macbook pro

    Hello every body
    is any one have a trouble shooting to open their cam automatically

    Is there any virus in mac
    See my Mac Malware Guide for a complete answer to that question.
    I notice that you posted this in reply to an earlier (and unanswered) concern you had about your webcam, but I don't really understand what that concern is. If you could clearly describe whatever problem you're having, rather than assuming it's due to a virus, we'll be able to help you more effectively.
