Is it normal and safe for my macbook pro to be at this temp

So I installed Starcraft 2 onto my 2010 Macbook Pro 15" i7 and I also installed Fan Control. When I play starcraft 2 i noticed that the fans get louder and some parts of the computer are hot. I checked the fan control to see the temps and they reach 60-65 degrees. Is this ok? What would be the threshold of the computer?

If the CPU temperature of your machine rises into the high 90s (C.) and stays there even with the fans running at or near 6000RPM, then you may have a problem of some kind that requires attention. If the CPU temperature ever reaches 105°C, the MBP will shut down for its own protection. That is the upper limit of the CPU's safe operating range, according to Intel's specifications.

ds store's opinion will be right in some, but not all cases.
That largely depends on eactly which year and MacBook Pro (e.g., 5,1 ) model you are talking about, as well as whether you are rather "handy" and can do the swap yourself.
On older Macs, used complete screens are available on the secondary from machines that have died. Step-by-step photo-illustrated guides are also available for sources like ifixit.com. [Their motivation for providing these guides for free is that some readers will buy their parts to make the repairs themselves.]
Newer Macs may be valuable enough that having Apple fix them may be cost-effective. A free appointment at the genius Bar (with no obligation to proceed with ANY repairs) can get you a quote to consider.

My name is Mike. I live in New Zealand. My username is waipukurau1. I downloaded MacBook booster from the prompts. Was this a good idea and good for my MacBook Pro? Please answer.

ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,
Clinton

Is Unity Web Player safe for my MacBook Pro?

Is Unity Web Player safe for my MacBook Pro?

Yes, just be sure you download it directly from the developer website: http://unity3d.com/webplayer. A fair number of file download sites bundle adware or other unwanted content with legitimate applications/plugins.

Is Fan Control Safe for your MacBook Pro?

Im just wondering if Fan Control is safe for your MacBook.
does anyone here have an experience using it?

smcFanControl works fine. It won't hurt anything. You can't slow the fans down below the factory default setting.

Is Apache OpenOffice Safe for my MacBook Pro I am a first time Apple User.

I am coming from a PC with over 27 years experience and most recently windows 8 I had to return 2 new notebooks with windows 8 with nothing but problems so I really had it with microsoft and I am a brand new apple user of only 2 weeks so I went out and purchased a MacBook pro and what a difference. I worry way to much and was concerned about downloading Apache OpenOffice for my new MacBook Pro. Is it a safe program to put on my Macbook and is it stable or can I expect problems. I would greatly appreciate any help the community can offer me. Thank you very much for your help...Would I be better off downloading Apple's version of a spreadsheet & word processor I believe they are around $20.00 each Thanks again.

Open Office is a suite of applications similar to Office 2007 for Windows. It is not 100% compatible with Office, but it is close. However, I would suggest using Libre Office. It is much like Open Office because they both come from the same original source code. But Libre Office seems to be better supported.

Is it safe for my MacBook pro retina plugged in while it's off?

Hello Everyone, so I have read that putting your MacBook pro in sleep while plugged in all the time is safe as long as you run the battery once in awhile, but what about if I want to shut down my MacBook pro Retina off without unplugging the charger and just leave it on for the rest of the night and then just turn my macbook pro back on still without unplugging the charger? Is it safe, no KABOOM!!? Lol ok I'm going to sleep now and I will turn off my Mac and unplug it for now until further instruction. Thanks in advance and good night!

you can leave it plugged in - when fully charged - charging stops to avoid overcharing your battery.
do not fully discharge your battery to 0% constantly, doing so will shorten your battery life.
good luck

Update feature and upgrades for 2011 macbook pro Help!!

if i use the update feature does that update my entire computer bios and all? is there any reason to manually download anything? i have a early 11 macbook pro with all the new software and latest running system. if anybody knows of any upgrades that can be done besides ram i would love to hear what it is, thanks

It can definitely be done safely, and will not void warranty. Apple has made it very easy to install new memory and a new battery (If needed). I went with Crucial 16GB Kit (2, 8GB sticks, DDR3). As I said it's a very efficient plug and play upgrade. If you have any more questions let me know, hope this helped!

MacBook purchased from eBay USA. Difficulty in retrieving USERNAME and PASSWORD for my MACBook Pro

Please help me retrieving my MacBook User ID and Password !!!! URGENT !!!

This was discussed at length in other forums (can't be mentioned here) and there were several people (including myself) involved in some serious, different-scenarios testing. The utlimate goal was/is to publish an all-encompassing user tip since the entirely new/different licensing requirements are confusing at best; however, we have been stymied by a lack of definitive Apple policies on the iLife apps (another story).
So, no, there is no documentation from Apple, but the facts are that Command + R will need an Apple ID and will reinstall the current system, so that is only an option for someone who purchased Lion or ML at the app store (such as the current owner/seller). However, Command + Option + R can be used by the seller to get the machine back to its originally installed system (unless it was SL or previous of course). In an emergency, it can also be used by a buyer; however, the preferred method is to start with the original install media and upgrade from there using their own Apple ID.
When I first saw the new SLA, I submitted a bug report to Apple to be more specific with their instructions - that was shortly after Lion was introduced. I never received a reply.

Fingerprint reader and Software for the MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.2

As in my other post I have just bought a Mac Book Pro 13" laptop. I am in the learning curve as I have only worked with Windows for the past 22 years.
On my HP I had a built in fingerprint reader and I software installed that kept all my passwords (in a database on my pc, NOT in any cloud or web based progam) I use to log onto websites, logon to my computer.
I am looking for the same type of software and a fingerprint reader (small usb no wires if possible) for this MacBook.
Any ideas?
Also, every time I download and install a application, I get a pop up asking for my credentials, how can I get rid of that "feature"?
Thank you

What type of property do you have? Seriously they are less frequent targets lets say. So do you have AV, Internet security (AVG, AVAST, Norton or some other pkg) Malware software installed on your Mac?
If so, why?
If not, why?
Any thoughts to the question this post relates to?
Thanks

For the last two updates, Firefox refuses to recognize my e-mail and password on my MacBook Pro. Please fix this.

I would like for Firefox to fix this. After all, Firefox hosed it.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If the password isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

An update for numbers was shown for my macbook pro, however even though this has been done I cannot open numbers without updating and when you try to update again it advises you that this is already done so we go round in circles getting nowhere, any idea

` I cannot open numbers as it requires and update, and the update has taken place yet it still maintains that an update is required and when you look to iupdate it advises you that you have already updated so we go around the circle and get nowhere. Help please.

Hi renrut,
Do not delete the old version of Numbers (Numbers 2.3, Numbers'09). It has features that the new Numbers has lost (in particular, Print View).
Numbers '09 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. The icon on your Dock continues to point to Numbers '09. Launching Numbers from that icon is why you get the "Update" message. Numbers 2.3 is trying to open a Numbers 3 document.
The new version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2 is the latest version) lives in your Applications folder (not a sub folder). Drag that icon to your Dock. It will become an Alias. Right click (or control click) on it and Options > Keep In Dock. Now you can chose which version to run.
Numbers 2 on the left (three columns)
Numbers 3 on the right (four columns).
Both versions will run happily side by side. Just be sure which version you use to open a Numbers document. If Numbers 3 tries to "steal" a Numbers 2 document, you will get a warning when you start to edit:
Edit a Copy will preserve your Numbers 2 document and create a Numbers 3 copy. Cancel will get you out. Upgrade will convert your Numbers 2 document to a Numbers 3 document.
If all else fails, you can do Menu > File > Export To > Numbers '09 to revert.
Do not delete Numbers '09 (or Numbers '08) from your machine! You will need them.
Regards,
Ian.

What version of OS X are you running?

I have pages, numbers and keynote on my macbook pro, but when i try to use the apps on my new iMac it will not let me save

I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year. I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks. When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request. How do I correct?

Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use.

How do I find the wattage for my MacBook Pro mid-2009

I am thinking about purchasing a ChugPlug for my MacBook Pro. The suppliers, Lenmar tell me that it will work on any 13" MacBook Pro as long as it is a 45 or 60 watt MacBook.
How do I find out the wattage, please?

See Intel-Based Apple notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord to find the correct power adapter and wattage for your MacBook Pro.
