Mac Book Pro 13" Overheating

I just bought a Mac Book Pro 13" a couple of weeks ago, and it overheats when under very little load, watching movies, opening facetime and pictures, it goes from 50c to 85-90 and the fan screams out at 5-6k. I have had Mac Books before and never had this happen, and after doing some reserach, it seems a lot of people who bought the 2011 Mac Book pros are having the heat issue, and Apple states it released the latest firmware version but that did nothing! I am frustrated because I just plopped down 1k for this thing and it is hotter than any PC laptop I have had, and I am not sure what to do. There was many suspicions that the thermal paste was the issuse with too much of it on, and that some had luck having the geniuses re-apply it, but I am not sure about this either, all I know is a lot of others are having this issue and I want it to be resolved or atleats Apple to recognize that there is a defect ion the design/manufacturing that causes this to happen. MY MBP idles ar 50-55c all the time, which seems high for a machine just sitting there, and the case gets so hot that you can barely hold it on your lap, and then when under load, it goed easily to 85-90 or more and 5-6k on the fan and sounds like a jet plane. Anyone else have this issue, and know of a way to resolve it? I am not willing to use any fan adjusting software, as these machines are suppoes to be designed to handle lods, and I upgraded it to 8 gigs of ram, so thats not the issue either!

Apparently your drive is close to full. You will need to delete some of your files in order to free up enough space on the drive - at least 10-20 GBs should remain free at all times.

Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 overheating and turning off

I've been having this nasty problem with my Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 (2.8 Ghz, 4 MB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, bought in August 2009) for quite a while, but recently it's intensifying.
It starts to overheat badly, and then randomly turns itself off if not connected to the power.
When restarted, the clock is set to January 1st, 2001.
Needless to say, the overheating impacts on my capacity to use the computer the way I want, destroying my fps in games and slowing the processor while I use Ableton Live to produce music.
I tried to look around, but I cannot figure out if this is a known issue of some sorts, or a problem related to this very computer: I did read on the forums a suggestion to run the Hardware Tests from the Snow Leopard DVD by booting the system with the DVD in while holding d, but nothing happens if I do so.
Thank you all in advance!

Yosemite update, MAC Book Pro early 2008 - Dead like. Overheated, Blank screen

Before 3 days I installed the latest updated for Yosemite. After the update, I make the laptop “sleep”. But I noticed that while sleeping the power LED indicator behaved in a strange way. Also the laptop was very hot and after couple of hours of sleep, It count be powered on.
I pull out the battery and power cable to cool id down. After that is was OK.
This same scenario was repeating last 2 day, always while the laptop was off/in-sleep.
Now no the 3th day, I noticed the battery is drain out. Now it is fully recharged, but the Laptop want to power on.
After powering on, the Led indicator is glowing like (half-intensity) and noting happens. The screen is blank.
Can someone advise me, what to do?
Some notes:
================
-The device is MAC Book Pro early 2008
-The battery is New, used for about 3 weeks, without problems
-I tried and alternative (old, original) battery, but it is the same. Which makes me think the problem isn`t in battery.
-It happened right after the Yosemite update.
-While sleep it was very hot
-LED indicator behaves strange
Thank you for any advice or tip.

Sorry for the spelling I am dyslex.....
I had this happen to.
For some unknown resin my 2.5Ghz MacBook Pro overheated and witch killed it. Requires a new Logic Board.
Resions for this diagnoses:
1) The laptop was running Sarfia in Yosemite before before I closed the lid.
2) I did not take note that when I had put the laptop down it had not gone to sleep.
3) When after 3 hours shopping, I picked the laptop up it was VERY! hot on the bottom (much hotter than it has ever been) (and it was not the battery)
4) Before I got it turned off by pressing the power button the fans where running but not fast.
5) I let it cool down before trying to turn it back on.
6) I tried all the reset operations
7) The disk drives (HDD and Optical) spin up and did the diags.
What I don't know is:
1) Why did not the thearmail shutdown not kick in?
2) Why when I picked it up and it was clearly VERY HOT! the fans where not running fast?
3) If the OS was doing something (update while asleep)?
4) If the OS was doing something how and why did it stop the fans spinning fast to keep the laptop cool.
Sadley I now have to shell out for a new Logic Board.

1st gen mac book pro and SSD drive overheating

Sorry if this has been answered before but I found it hard to find my particular stiruation listed here. I need some advice!
I have a 1st gen mac book pro 2.33 GHz with 3GB of RAM (I belive its two 2GB modules).
I recently replaced the dead CD drive with an adapter (from ebay) that turns it into a second drive, and installed a 120GB OCZ SSD drive. This drive is not the startup drive and my 320 GB drive is a backup/storage.
While I was in there I replaced the thermal grease - it had been running hot for ages and I figured that dried out grease could be the reason. I got some artic silver paste, carefully removed the logic board, cleaned off the new paste, and sparingly applied new paste. Since I took out the fans in the process I cleaned those and the heat sync too. (all via info online, videos and infomational pages, etc, not with wild abandon)
Everything seems to be running fine (I watched some movies fromt he hard drive. youtube made it run a bit hot but ok) except when the computer goes to sleep or I close the lid. Then the computer gets crazy hot and the fans are in overdrive and it won't wake up from sleep. The power adapter also gets super super hot.
I reset the PRAM and ran permissions, also updated the operating system - its not 10.6.8.
I *just* reset the SMC (we'll see if that has any effect).
I thought I'd ask here before opening up the machine again and poking around.
Thank yoiu for any advice!

ok, so I think this is the issue - it has to do with the fact that my regular hard drive is a seagate. This thread is pretty much what has bene happening to me.

Mac Book Pro Overheating by lion

My mac book pro bought july 2010 is overheat using Lion.... help me

Look in Activity Monitor for any processes using a lot of CPU time.

My Mac Book Pro (2010 - Snow Leopard) won't boot, or boot from safe mode.

Hi, a bit of back ground knowledge bout the situation first, I was visiting home to see my family for two weeks in the UK, as i am currently on an internship in Dubai.
A few days ago (one day before i flew back to Dubai from the UK - Thursday 10/07/2014) I noticed out of the blue that my Mac book Pro (i believe early/mid 2010 model) suddenly started running extremely slow. (prior to this I had be using it fine, using an array of programs like Safari & Photoshop that i know usually slows down the Mac, but unlike what I would usually experience, this was pretty much a complete freeze for 5 minutes at a time every time i tried moving my mouse/closing a program or even clicking on something. I decided I would close everything and give the computer a rest. This took a long long time, I had to force quit many of the programs open, then once going to the drop down menu to shut down the laptop it wouldn't shut down. So after a long time of waiting to shut down I decided to force it to shut down by holding down the power button.
I left it for the evening, and then decided to turn on the laptop so it was 'on and working' for my flight back to Dubai as there had been 'stricter airport measures introduced in the UK for flights abroad' and there was a rumor that you had to prove that all electrical devices can be turned on when and if asked by airport security. after a long time it finally turned on and loaded the home screen, it had a long period on the grey apple screen with the turning gear. However still when turned on the problem of being extremely slow - freezing for 5 minutes every time i would click a program or something on the mac, like the drop down menu with the shut down option for example - still persisted. As I had to fly home the next morning (Friday 11/07/2014) I just closed the laptop lid like i had down thousands of times before over the past 3-4 years, packed it in my hand luggage and and went to bed. I flew back to Dubai.
Over the next few days (Saturday 11/07/2014 - Monday 14/07/2014) I used the laptop sparingly a it was super slow, but i did manage to watch the second half of the world cup runners up match between Holland & Brasil. I then went on to attempt to use the safari the on the Monday night, but it was too slow to really do anything, e.g. i couldn't even really look at the BBC website as it was too painfully slow!
This is when I decided to look up why it may be working so slow via my iphone.
So I shut it down,
I looked on forums and support ages and first thing they recommended was a 'safe mode boot up', so I decided to boot up in safe mode. This is where the problem seems to worsen. The Mac book pro would turn on to the grey apple screen and the progress bar appears, it begins to fill up but then reaches perhaps 20-30% then suddenly the laptops fan seems to go into over drive, making lots of noise when before this moment as it tried to boot up it was silent, then it just turns off.
I decided to retry booting up without holding down shift (safe boot mode), but it returns to the grey apple screen with the progress bar again, as if it was in safe mode even though I had held down shift. The same problem happens, its silent as the bar fills until abut 20-30% then it seems to 'overheat' and then turn off again.
I tried to boot it up again and again, both 'normally' without holding down shift, and 'safe mode', but the same issue arises.
So i turned to the forums and help pages again, and there was a mention of a PRAM reset. So i tried booting it up this time but holding down 'CMD + ALT + P + R' on the moment of the first chime, then as normal with a PRAM reset it chimed twice more before I let go of the keyboard. The progress bar again appeared on the grey start up apple page, and this time reached roughly the same 20-30% mark, but without overheating or making a fan noise, it then seemed to restart the progress bar a second time. This time as it reached the 20-30% it would again over heat and then instantly turn off.
I then decided to do a Hardware test. So i turned on the power and held down 'D', this successfully brought up the Hardware testing window, I did a regular test and within a few minutes it said there was no hard ware issue. Not convinced i decided to do an detailed/advanced hardware test which took alot longer. This time after a few minutes it started to make fan noises and 'overheating noises' however completed the hardware test and again said there was no hardware problems. I opted for the 'shut down' option on the screen instead of 'restart'.
I then decided to try and boot it up normally again, and the progress bar appears on the grey apple start up screen, it again reaches 20-30% then turns off.
I've exhausted my knowledge of what to do, and all the forums seem not to give the answer i'm looking for. It sees like no one has had the EXACT same problem i'm experiencing. Also being in Dubai for a further 7 weeks, I can't take the Mac book pro to an apple store, and I do not have any of the install DVD discs ect with me to try booting from DVD disc install.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what I could try next? I'd be hugely grateful! Please reply below or email me.

Mac book pro restarts for no reason, while i'm working!

here's the story:
mac book pro
2.0ghz dual core intel
2 gigs RAM
10.4.10
the whole thing started when i began playing call of duty 2 on the MBP, as it got much better frame rates than my dual 2.5 G5..... when i play call of duty 2 at least once per day, or a few times a week, the entire computer will just restart, in the middle of playing!
i thought it had to do with overheating, so i bought one of those fans for under the laptop.. but it didn't seem to help... because sometimes it would restart after having only been on for 5 minutes and playing COD2 for 30 seconds... never having a chance to heat up.
so i've continued along like this.. sometimes i can play for 2 hours, sometimes only 10 minutes.. and the whole machine just restarts..
it's one **** of a COD2 bug, so bad that it forces your computer to power off and on again... but i've found not a single person having this problem with COD2...
so, the other day, i'm at a hotel.. sitting in bed, the MBP is on the desk.. some apps are open.. likely Mail and Safari.. but it's not doing much.. and the computer restarts!
then again the other day i was working in Excel and the machine restarted...
i have no idea what's going on.. if it's a hardware problem, or a software problem... i'm going to:
1. reformat the whole machine and reinstall the system (and NOT install bootcamp/XP, although it's probably not hurting anything)
2. run for a while WITHOUT my extra (3rd party) RAM
i use my machine in some very critical situations (live music performance) and cannot have a restart happen in the middle of a concert.
if anyone has any clue as to why this is happening, please let me know. i've seen a few similar stories as this on this forum, but nothing exactly.
thank you

ok Rebis i think this appears to fix your problem , not sure though.. they say just to reinstall mac os X , back up your stuff and format the drive, reinstall the os. In my case , it just reboots by itself , no grey screen , nothing, keeps rebooting and rebooting sometimes. Ran apple hardware test, sry dont remember error # , but it said video controller error.
I hope Taylor posts again to see if his got fixed, cause it seems his problem and mine are really alike if not the same.

Why did my Mac book pro 2012 literally slow to a crawl overnight?

Hello,
Im new to Mac products so bear with me
I'm running an OS X 10.9.1 13 Mac book pro with 4 GB of memory. I can usually play video games, and edit videos with it. And overheating has never been a problem.
Today alll the applications are taking 30-40 seconds to open and even longer to click between tasks. Sometimes i see a beach balll, but generally the notebook just seems to not respond. The boot time seems to have increased too.
Disk check - Hard drive scan showed no problems and I have over 30% Disk space left
Disk repair permissions - It took about an hour and repaired some stuff. But still slow

I heard some people could interpret this. I'm currently using a library PC cause typing on my Mac would take eons......its that slow
can anyone help?

Please don't post "etrecheck" output in a reply to me. I have no use for it.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Mac book pro running parallels gets waaay hot,,,what can i do

When using my retina display mac book pro the bottom of the unit gets really hot,,,uncomfortable to touch and you can feel the heat coming through teh key board

I am not using Parallels but am using Boot Camp Windows 7 64-bit. Running flight sims my MBP Retina reached 213 deg F. I know from previous models that Windows runs hotter than OS X on the Mac Book Pro - there some Windows programs like Speed Fan you can donwload for free that will give you control over the fans in Windows - not sure how well they work in Parallels though.
The standard answer here is the CPU is smart and will cycle down when it reaches too high a temp so you don't need to worry about overheating really.
The one concern I have - excessive heat is never good for electronics - is the display. On the Retina in Windows when gaming or under a load, the glass itself gets pretty hot on the lower left bottom and you can see the exhaust vents for the chassis go right onto the hinge below the screen - heat is obviously reaching the screen as well. My original Retina display just had to be replaced at 45 days old because I was getting increasingly dark bands running up the display in this area. I am sure that heat was a factor. We had the same issue on the previous MBP display before I understood how hot it was getting.
I suggest trying the Rain Design iLap - it's a good stand and does help keep the MBP a bit cooler. I've tried Cooler Master U2 and U3 fan stands but they don't make any difference in Windows when it's running hot.
Definitely lowering the brightness should help too.
Also make sure your Windows power setting is set to "Balanced" and not "High Perfomance" - this allows your CPU to idle and cycle to lower temps until it needs more power.

Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?

Hi,
Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro? If so, is it working well and would you do it again? Is it compatible with the Apple dual DVI cable?
Thanks,
Alan

I just got a Yamakasi precision 2703. I'm using it with a 13" macbook pro (non retina). I got it working with a thunderbolt / minidisplayport to dual link DVI adapter from monoprice for $~70. At first I didn't think it was going to work, plugged it in, turned on the display, nothing happened. I unplugged, plugged the USB cable back in and the monitor came to life. Working great so far. I bought mine from green-sum on ebay. The recommend not using this monitor with apple computers due to overheating issues... I don't see why that would be the case, though. I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far no issues, and I've been happy with the monitor, no dead pixels, no bleed in the corners.
The monitor stand on the 2703 isn't too bad, a little wobbly but not as bad as the others from what I've read. The monitor does sit a little low, though. I have a much sturdier stand coming from monoprice for $20+shipping, which will provide tons of adjustment, both height and rotation.
Good luck!

Can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery? I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig. I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use it with or without both together without affecting op pw

can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery? I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig with out the battery. I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use the comp with the power adapter and battery together or either by itself and it will not effect the 2.16 gig. Thank you.

If you remove the battery the CPU power will be cut by 50% (whatever they told you) so that there's no lack of power or overheating issues. It's best to always keep the battery in.
