IS there a known issue with Macbook i7? My motherboard just overheated.

Just paid $2500 for a labtop. Was running in bootcamp it just died. The Apple Store said it was the motherboard that went. I am reading other posts saying the processors overheat!

According to the user manual it states in part: 
"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings." 
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro/care
"Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

    Axel,
    I'm afraid a new SSD won't be different from your bad USB stick. I had similar issues over USB with both a (no-brand) stick and TWO 64gb Kingston SSDNow's (running Kubuntu 12.04 with Kernel 3.11, ia_64): it all runs exceptionally well (wanna know how it feels like booting in 5 sec?) for a few days - then suddenly you find yourself facing that dreaded (initramfs) prompt. You ask yourself: why? Did I upgrade grub lately? Did I upgrade the Kernel? I don't recall so. Ok, let's fix this... insert favorite live cd, boot, fsck...what???? THOUSANDS of errors??? Hundreds of files and directories corrupted, and the system is unusable - Reinstall everything from scratch onto another drive.
    Rinse and repeat: did this 3 times. Then I found this analysis:
    http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd_analysis.html
    I also suspect USB power interrupts more abruptly than SATA power, at shutdown - basically aggravating any power interruption damages. So now I'm going to:
    - buy an Intel S3500!
    - add commit=1 to my mount options in /etc/fstab
    - edit shutdown procedure to add a 5-10 sec pause after unmounting drives.
    Just my two cents.

  • Are there any known issue with the HP 3005pr USB 3 replicator ?

    Hi,
    I recently ordered an HP laptop Pavilion dv6t-7000 with Intel i7 and nVidia video. While the unit isn't due to arrve for about 2 weeks, I'm looking for a docking station/port replicator.
    Are there any known issues with the HP 3005pr USB 3 replicator ? Does it fully support Win7 64 bit? I am also considering the Targa U3 unit, but I'd prefer HP if I can be assured that it works.
    I'd like to be able to leave the laptop closed when at my desk so I can use  an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
    Does HP make this device or does a 3rd party make it for them?
    I've read so many stories on various forums regarding these things.
    Any suggestions from HP or others? I need to order something soon, but I don't want head aches when it arrives.
    thanks,
    Steve

    This HP USB 3.0 Port Replicator fully supports with Windows 7 64-bit, if that is the one that you are talking about.

    overheating issues
    I have a mac book pro mid 2011 and it overheats is there any known issue with this model

    Are you gaming or watching videos when the unit heats up? As your core temperatures rise, it's normal for the fans to speed up - but if you're not running any CPU/GPU intensive apps, it's not normal for your MBP to heat up or for the fans to run high. Download the free iStat Pro widget and either record or take a screen shot of your temps and fans speeds. Oh, and your MBP should not heat up just because you're using the power adapter.

  • Are there any known issues with a 2003 server authenticating to a 2012 domain controller

    I am trying to get off of these 2003 domain controllers. But I still have a couple of 2003 servers that will be decommissioned by early next year. If I change my environment and get rid of the two 2003 dc's, and promote two 2012 dc's. Will I have any issues
    with the 2003 servers authenticating? I have a very small maintenance window, and do not have time to test on my own. I was hoping someone else has tried this before, and knows the results.

    Hi,
    I am not aware of any issues with 2012 as domain controller role. There was an issue with 2012 R2 as domain controller role related to the AES encryption for computer password, but MS issued a hotfix and a rollup (covers many other issues along).
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/910205?wa=wsignin1.0
    Once you upgrade your schema to support 2012 domain controllers you can start promoting those and eliminate 2003 ones.
    I have been running this in our environment and I see no issues. In fact i am using 2012 R2 DC which were problematic.
    Here is another good link to upgrade from 2003 to 2012 or 2012 R2.

  • Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

    Hi,
    I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable.  It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again.  I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router.  Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes.  Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it.  Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze.  I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to Apple....
    Kumusta Ka?  Ma init pa dyan?
    If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
    Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.
    see image below - let me know if na ayos mo na ang internet mo.

  • Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Are there any known issues with Silverlight plugin?

    Every time I attempt to see a page using
    the silverlight plugin, Safari stops responding!
    Is it just my configuration, or are there more issues with this plug
    in as there were with Windows Media Player?
    Regards

    OK, as I am on a PPC Mac I have never tried version 2.
    As you may recall, Silverlight got its 'breakthrough' when the Chinese authorities decided to broadcast the Olympics using Silverlight. Suddenly everyone needed it!
    Now you read press reports of this or that news agency dropping Silverlight, and I don't think I have come across it more than once since the Olympics.
    I am beginning not to wonder why!
    But this article may be of interest:

  • Are there any known issues with speed between excel 2003 and 2010 when using WAAS?

    Request asked by customer. Thought I would run this by the forum first.
    Can you please raise a ticket with Cisco TAC asking why Excel files in 97-2003 file format cannot be fully optimized when compared to the same file being saved in the latest file format?
    When using the latest file format, the user experience is amazing and up to 100x faster to open and save files. Our testing has identified an issue with the older file format.

    I deployed WAAS about 3 years ago. Part of the deployment was before and after testing. When the users used Office 2010 the results were good. When they used Office 2003 the results were terrible. Some files took minutes to open, some never opened. Solution was to upgrade to O2010.
    Hope this helps.

  • Are there any known issues with Yosemite (iMac/Intel)?

    I have seen reported issues with Wi-Fi, Interrnet connection, and ethernet.  Are these still valid concerns at this point - or has the OS been updated?

    Those never were valid concerns. A very small percentage of users had issues but by and large most of us have had no problems whatsoever. However before upgrading you should always make a backup of your entire system in the event that you want to downgrade to your previous state. Make sure that you have at LEAST 4gb of ram and more is better. Also check to be sure that applications you depend on are compatible or upgradable for Yosemite.

  • Are there any known issues with the Sony DCR-SR65?

    Has anyone had any experience with this camera? My school is looking to buy one so I can record classes & school events. I am just trying to make sure it is recognised by the computer and that there are no major problems with it.
    Also, it seems that it only has USB (no firewire). Does anyone see this as an issue?
    Does anyone have a better recommendation for a video camera than the above?
    I have a late 2007 iMac with both iMovie 08 and 06.
    With thanks
    Mike.

    I would disagree with Bengt's advice to this extent.
    You don't need firewire for the modern high definition cameras that are on the Apple Supported List.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    Most of these cameras require USB and do not even have firewire.
    However, avoid USB-only cameras for standard definition or DV formats (especially if they are not on the supported list.)
    Also, just about any miniDV/Firewire camera will work. You don't have to worry whether or not they are on the list.
