How is it possible that my MBP Retina display gets extremely hot after 15 mins of playing a full screen 2D flash game?

The problems happens over and over. I usually get scared after it is hot for 30 mins and then let it cool down by not using it for a while. Then the problem repeats. I downloaded an app to measure the heat of my MBP and it said 99C which I doubt is possible, but that should give an indiciation. I'm pretty sure however I could fry and egg on it. It gets hot between the screen and keyboard, where there is a fan located.
Many thanks!

Well the rMBP is made for thinness and light weight so the cooling isn't that great. That is why Apple included vents on the bottom sides of the unit. Also to power that screen take a lot of power whcih make the system run hotter then standard unit.

I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop. How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility?

I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop. How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility? Does anyone use photoshop on your mac?

Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

I have to desagree its not normal !!! be advised

Open up activity monitor and under all process, see how much dock is using. highlight it and hit quit process.
since you're already at activity monitor, hit quit process on anything else using more than 10% of your CPU's resources.
see if your Retina runs cooler once you've done that.
good luck.

Why is my new Macbook Pro Retina Display getting so hot?

I've had my Macbook Pro Retina Display for nearly a week and it works like a dream and I love it.
However it does get rather hot, around the F keys it's almost too hot to touch, all I use are internet applications and occasionally Spotify and iTunes so it's not like I'm constantly running hefty software.
I just wanted to check that this is normal as this is my first Macbook, I've been a PC user for 10 years.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download iStat Pro and report back with the temp readings.

My MacBook Pro with retina display got extremely hot while closed an in a carrying case

I have a new Macbook Pro with Retina display. I left my house at approxomately 6 p.m and I took my macbook pro with me. I put it in a protective Incase sleeve which I put in my messenger bag. When I got to my final destination about 1 hour and 40 mintutes later when I went to retrieve my macbok the entire messenger bag was hot. When I went to get the macbook out of the sleeve the actual computer was so hot I could barely touch it. I could even smell the computer (you know that new comptuter smell) standing a few feet away from it in a cafe that his good ventilation. When I left my house the battery was at 100% charge. When I discovered the computer in this state I had to hold down the power button to get it to start. When i logged in the battery was at 47%. I discovered that I left iphoto, chrome and microsoft word open. Should I be concerned? The machine was so hot that I can not imagine that if this turns into a reoccuring issue that it won't damage the computer. I wonder what would of happened had I not discovered it.

When it gets to a certain temperatue it would have gone into thermal shutdown, from your scenario it looks like your machine failed to enter sleep mode or power nap due to some applications that was holding it up.
as this machine was inside a sleeve and still running the machine couldn't dissipate the heat and ramped up the fans to attempt to cool itself hence the battery drain.

Macbook pro retina display getting too hot

Hello,
I bought a macbook pro retina display:
2.7 quad core/16GB RAM/1GB Nvidia 650m/768 SSD
When I copy files like 20 or 30 GB from an external to my retina the keyboard becomes hot and GPU 141 F (61C).
For playing game it becomes more hot!!!

I hope it would be from OS and Mountain Lion would fix it.

Bfore you run to the store try this SMC ret, it fixes

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 Pro Retina 13" Gets Very Hot

Hi, I noticed my Macbook Pro Retina 13" gets very hot after 30 minutes of usage, practically "burning" on my thigh (it left burning mark a few times actually, especially in the summer). I usually put a book between the laptop and me to prevent the heat. Is there a better way?

What are you doing on your MacBook when it gets hot? I have a retina and it gets hot when I play games like Team Fortress 2 or Garry's Mod, watching videos on youtube, and using the iTunes visualizer. What's odd is it doesn't get hot when I watch movies on iTunes. If it's getting hot just sitting around, you may have a problem that needs to be check out as soon as possible. I had a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro that had three logic boards replaced in less than a year of purchase. Every time the board was failing, it would freeze sometime after it was put to sleep and it would get really hot and the fan would be screaming trying to keep up. Then it would freeze as I'm using it. The screen would flash pixels of all colors in random spots all around the screen. If Apple didn't cover the repairs, I would have paid $530 per repair.

I have a MBP retina display, early 2013, 512GB SSD storage& I want to upgrade it into a 768GB SSD storage, would that be possible WITHOUT replacing my current storage disks with the new 768GB ?keeping the 512GB&only adding a 256 GB disk?! please advise (:

The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase
Get a nice 1TB USB external HD for $65

How is it possible that a target has two deltas requests with the exact sam

HI,
How is it possible that a target has two deltas requests with the exact same records?

Hi Mohammed,
There are couple of reason behind it.
main reason is
take one scenario we have DSO as source and cube as target.
Now DSO contains only 1 request, which i have loaded to cube by using delta.
after that i have deleted DSO content by using right click on it and delete data.
(hope u know that it will not delete request from target automatically)
now once again i have loaded same request from datasource to DSO
and then loaded delta again from DSO to cube.
In this case for 1 single request in DSO you can see 2 request in cube with same data.

Ashish

How it is possible that an internet user locks an order???

Hi,
I have a problem. Some of the orders, when transfered to R/3 has a mapping error in SMW01. When I check the details I see that it gives an error "Transaction 300615856 is being processed by user 7003788553" message number CRM_ORDER013.
However here 7003788553 is an internet user who gave the order. So how it is possible that an Internet user locks the order.
I tried to simulate the error myself in quality system however never succeeded.
Any idea?
Best Regards

How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related?

How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related? Sometimes it does all work, but after a while Wifi is still there and I am not able to go to any website whatsoever.

Your network preferences file may be damaged, that would explain why you can configure the computer and get online but then when the computer wakes from sleep and needs to restore the setting it cannot.
Open the Library folder of your computer (not the Library in your user directory) and then find the Preferences folder. Now the problem for me is that I've not used Leopard forever so I'm not sure exactly where the file you want is or what it is called. In Mountain Lion it is called:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
and it is inside a folder called SystemConfiguration. But I can't remember if this has changed along the way or not. The easy thing to do is to go back to the Network Preferences pane again and make the change I directed above. Then you can look in the Preferences folder and sort by date modified to find the network preferences file that was just now modified. Move it to the desktop, restart your computer, reconfigure the WiFi again and see what happens.

The crossdomain security policy stuff is annoying, but it's there to prevent this sort of scenario:
Joe Blackhat writes a flash game about Bob the Goldfish. Joe Blackhat decides that a fun thing to do might be to write an SMTP client in ActionScript so that fans of Bob the Goldfish could unknowingly send spam while they play. Bob the Goldfish game goes viral. Everyone is playing it and spam volume bajillion-duples. Spam kills the internet. The End.
This is facetious and contrived, but without crossdomain security policies, the internet would be a much more dangerous place. JavaScript has even more restrictive crossdomain policies. I don't think this is going away.
