Your problem might be a easy fix.
If the firmware "forgets" what partition it's supposed to boot from, it won't load OS X, so if OS X doesn't load then it can't tell the fans to slow down, the default is "turbo mode".
So all you might have to do is hold the option/alt key down while booting the computer with a charged up battery on power, you will then see a row of icons and you pick OS X to boot from.
Once in you head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk, that will tell the firmware what to boot from again.
Try it and see if it works.
You can do more if your problem is not fixed.

Yes, if it was purchased new you have a 1 year warranty, despite who you bought it from (unless it's stolen goods)
However you should purchase AppleCare while your in the store for another 2 more years of coverage also a backup drive for TimeMachine to protect your data.

  • HT1349 how can i sign up for one to one if i didn't buy my ipad from an apple store

    i would like to purchase one-to-one for my new ipad, which i didn't purchase at the apple store.  how can I do that and is there any way I can use it this afternoon if the apple store near me has a slot available?  Thanks

    Betsy, call the Apple store and see if you can get in if there is space available.  Friends have purchased Apple products and had no problems at the stores in my area participating.  One even went to a training session before buying.  So give them a call and get that spot before it is taken.

    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive

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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Windows 7 on Bootcamp I am locked into a DOS screen and it is not installing.  I have been on line with Apple and microsoft and they can't help.  I have lated versions of Lion and bootcamp. HELP

    I ran bootcamp and tried to install Windows 7.  I end up with a DOS screen and an unresponsive keyboard. 
    I have been on line with Apple and microsoft and they can't help.  I have lated versions of Lion and bootcamp. HELP!
    My Lion is up to date.
    I used the 64-bit windows disc.
    Should I try parallels?

    Do you have a DOS screen with a command prompt or just a blank screen?
    Is your Windows 7 x64 an original MS Full Version Installation DVD?
    Did Windows 7 Install Disc start?
    If it did you would have had to choose the location of where to install Windows 7.
    Did you select the Partition named BOOTCAMP that corresponded to the Partition Size you created in BootCamp?
    Were you asked to format the Partition?
    Did you format the partition to NTFS and then get an option to click NEXT and actually start the Windows 7 installation?
    Do you have a wired USB keyboard and wired USB mouse?
    If you actual went through the installation and restarted then here are some things to try:
    First try doing a CONTROL-ALT-DELETE and see if a Windows Option Screen appears.
    If you get the Screen you will have some options displayed.
    You want to highlight and click TASK MANAGER which should be the bottom choice I beleive.
    If Task Manager runs you will get a window showing all the processes running.
    See if you can find EXPLORER.
    If EXPLORER is running highlight it and go to the bottom right and click the END TASK button.
    Now go to the Top Left Menu Bar.
    Click FILE
    In the sub menu that opens select RUN  or RUN NEW TASK (Not sure which it is in Windoes 7 as I am running Windows 8)
    Once RUN is selected a new window will open to CREATE NEW TASK
    Type in EXPLORER and then the OK button.
    If Windows 7 installed properly the Desktop should appear after a bit of time.
    Your first concern is to get your keyboard running so you may have to remove and reinstall Windows using Boot Camp on the Mac Side.
    Let us know how it goes..

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

  • I have a blank white screen with a flashing file folder

    What do I do if I have a blank white screen with a flashing file folder?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install disk in the optical drive.
    Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

    Backup in case your disk is failing.  (Post back if you need instructions on how to do that w/o booting OS X.)
    Start up in Safe Mode;  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204?viewlocale=en_US

    Boot in Recovery Mode.  (Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.)  Run Disk Utility.  Click on the upper left system disk icon.  Does S.M.A.R.T. report “Verified”?  If not the disk is failing and will need to be replaced.  Click on the icon underneath and indented to the right, usually called “Macintosh HD”.  Repair Disk.  It should finish normally with a green OK message.  If it does not try to repair it again. 
    If it will not finish with the green OK message then use Disk Utility to erase the drive and then reinstall OS X.  (Be sure you have a backup before erasing the disk.  Post back if you need instructions on how to do that.)
    If it repaired all errors and is still not booting normally, reinstall OS X.
    If it is still sick after all these steps then the disk probably needs to be replaced or it could be a disk cable.  You replace these inexpensively and fairly easily yourself or take it to an Apple store for them to do it for you at a higher cost.  If it is still under warranty or AppleCare have Apple do it for you for free.  You may want to have Apple check the health of the system and disk before repairing it yourself.  Post back if you need instructions on replacing the disk and/or testing the disk cable.

    I'm having some difficulty in understanding you.   What is mdnsresponder?   How can you edit files if you can't get past the blue screen?   What are you using to post these messages on the forum?
    Let me suggest the following and see how you go.
    Do you get the ‘Orchestral’ start up tone when you power up?
    You might try this.
    Shut down the machine.
    Disconnect the power cable.
    Wait about 15 seconds
    Reconnect the power cable.
    Wait a few more seconds.
    Press the power button to restart.
    If there is no change ...
    Try to start the system in Safe Mode.   You can do this by restarting the machine and holding down the shift key as soon as your hear the start up tone.

    If the system boots in Safe Mode you could have a software issue and may need to reinstall the OS.    Which is why I asked if you have or can get the original DVD.
