Is their a fail safe on Mac Book Pro's I can't burn out my computer

I do a lot of work with Blender (3d Software meant for design and animation) and when I render a scene I hear my computer's fun turn on high. I get nervouse that one of these days I will try to render a complex scene and burn out my Mac. Does apple have a fail safe like a automatic shut down to stop this and will apple care cover a computer that gets burned out?
Also if I render a lot will it eventually slow down my computer?
Thanks for the help:)

if you have apple care, it will be covered if using your computer makes it "burn out". The fans are there so it doesn't get overheated. it will also go to sleep if it does over heat, so yes there is a fail safe.

  • My computer is full and I need to save all my shows and movies on an external hard drive.   I am on a mac book pro and I can't figure out how to drag the show in to the external hard drive

    My computer is full and I need to remove movies and tv shows out of itunes and save them in an external hard drive.   I cant figure out how to save them so I will be able to access them again.  Or store them in the cloud

    Do not store them in the Cloud.  It isn't really storage.  For iTunes purchases, for example, it is just re-downloading a purchase.  If a label decides to no longer make the item available it will disap[pear from the cloud and that will be it for you.
    You can't store items on an external drive simply by dragging them there.  That's too complicated for iTunes and how it is set up to work.  I know I post on this 10x a week and there's many other posts discussing this.  I suggest you browse a bit first.  Your options are basically to either put your whole library on the eternal drive (which is a nuisance if you don't want to drag it everywhere with you), or to copy individual items to the external drive, delete them from the internal drive, then re-add them as new items (re-adding to playlists, etc.).

  • We have a router at home supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using your computer's ip address

    we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address

    Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

  • Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize any old system disc

    erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize old system discs

    Did you try:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or 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.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine".  I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). Tnx so much

    I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine".  I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine  back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro.  Tnx so much

    Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

    I have transferres Adobe programs from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro, but I can´t open the programs!?

    Adobe programs don't do well with migration. You should uninstall them, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall from the original installers, but you also need to be aware that many older programs are not supported on newer versions of OSX so this may not go smoothly.

    You can custom install Safari directly from your system disc.  The one that came with your computer.

  • Just got Mac book pro. I can't connect to office remotely thru the remote window. My office is window based and I have no problem connecting while at the office thru the server but cannot at home. Any help would be appreciated!

    Just got Mac book pro. I can't connect to office remotely thru the remote window. My office is window based and I have no problem connecting while at the office thru the server but cannot at home. Any help would be appreciated!

    This what my IT replied with:
    That teh MacBook cannot connect with RWW because it requires Active-X to connect.  That MAc browsers (Safari) do not use Active-X but only Windows (IE) uses Active-X control.
    It would seem to me that there must be a way around this. Any help?
    Thanks,

  • I downloaded lion now my mac book pro has frozen can't get into my mac book, why?

    why can't I get into my mac book pro now thatI have installed Lion, just have a screen with my name in the middle with a nice picture of an eagle. I have had no trouble with my desktop, it loaded fine, don<><.

    Hi Donald.
    Okay, your problem is most probably due to automatic graphics switching. Since you can't login, the only way I see is by starting Lion in safe mode. You will be able to login. Then disable Automatic Graphics Switching in the Energy / Power settings of System Preferences. The exact name of the setting may differ depending on your MacBook and hardware.
    Regards.

  • Bought a New Mac Book Pro last week, can I get a free upgrade to Lion?

    To cut a long story short, I bought a new Mac Book Pro Last week, it is only 6 days old now, it was nearly 2 grand and comes with Snow Leopard, today on their website I saw Lion OS Advertised as 'coming soon to a mac near you' or something. I was just wondering, as I've just spent nearly 2 grand on a Mac Book last week, would I be eligible for a free upgrade to Lion when it comes out?
    I think you should be as when I bought it i was never informed there was a new OS coming out soon, does anyone know the answer? Or how much it may be to upgrade? as after spending £1899 I don't want to have to pay £100+ to upgrade a month later or so.
    Kind Regards,
    Chris

    Lion won't be out until middle of next year, so you are not entitled to any upgrade. But you may be entitled to the iLife '11 software if it isn't already installed. Check the Apple website for any Up to Date offer.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
