Mac book pro very hot since jun

hello,
during 8 month my macbookpro was nice... i work hours during without trouble ...
but since may or jun (juin) ... it become very hot, very rapidly ...
i take fancontrol to "down" the temperature...
i use boot camp too, and under xp it is the same trouble ...
what i have to do ?
because i begin to regrets to have a mac book with this trouble of temperaure so hot
désolé pour l'anglais je suis français =:)

Bonjour Pierre,
Je regrette, mais ma francaise, c'est mauvais.
There are several possibilities here.
1) Is the battery ("accumulateur"?) holding charge properly. A bad battery can cause overheating because the charging system will be working too hard.
2) Are the fans working properly? Can you hear them when it gets hot? If not, try an "SMC reset - see http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=kb&id=HT1411&viewlocale=fr_FR
3) Is a "background process" like a virus checker or printer driver hogging cpu time - use "Activity Monitor" ( Moniteur d'activité ) to see if anything unexpected is using too much CPU (Accès au processeur) - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/fr/mh653.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=kb&id=TS1473&viewlocale=fr_FR

Why is my mac book pro very sluggish in opening windows/color wheel

why does my Mac Book Pro acting slow when ever I'm working in multiple windows, going back and forth,
it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.
please help, and my 3 year warrant has just expired. please help.

Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

Mac book pro running slow since installing yosemite

hello

this yosemite is crap

Hi ..
Make sure to quit all open applications prior to shutting down your Mac.
Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space Go
If there's enough free storage space, open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items there.
Same with: HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac.
And check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X.

Mac book pro running hot

My mac book pro is running very hot. My fans are going like crazy but it doesnt seem to be doing the job. Should i try to clean my fans or something?

yeah, same here, my fans seems to be running above 6000rpm ALL THE TIME, even when i'm on preview and itunes, and when safari isn't open. i keep mail and calendar open all the time, but other than that, i understood that word, excel, preview, and the like weren't supposed to tax the system much, but my CPU temp is at about 90 degrees.

Whenever Retina Mac Book Pro runs HOT - FCPx runs NOT - And it does so A LOT

These past weeks I have been doing more and more work on the Retina Mac Book Pro. Only thing that has been bugging me is that I cannot seem to rely on its performance. At times FCPx is blazing fast and others so slow that one could think I was running it on an iMac from 1998.
Once it gets slow... It will take about 5 seconds for a clip that I select in the event browser to appear in the viewer. And i.e clicking the inspector will take about 4-8 seconds for it to open...
So I decided to troubleshoot.
Basically it is VERY simple.. Whenever the fans start churning on the Retina Mac Book Pro, the whole app simply quits performing. Shutting down the computer for about 10 minutes will alleviate the problem. Other strange thing is that no other app seems to be affected by this issue. PPRO, AE, Photoshop, Aperture, Safari etc etc etc... Only FPCx and Motion. I have not experienced this problem on any of my Mac Pros.
Problem is that the fans start spinning like crazy only after 10 min. of working in FCPx. And that with Proxy Media.
I have been noticing that people on newer (Thinner) iMacs are complaining over performance issue and wonder whether those might be heat related as well.
If anyone else are experience such issues, I sure would like to hear about it. And if anyone has suggestions to a possible workaround I too would love to hear about it as this is killing my workflow !
Thanks

me no engineer ... ahh, you did know that!
but …
Aren't FCPX + M5 the apps in your list which rely most on the graphic card? I'm not familiar with Grand Central and other OS-designs, nor can i confirm a built-in heat-sensor for that part of the Mac, there are sensors erverywhere - why not? …
But if I had designed the graphic-card as co-processor, this would be essentiell.
And your observation and conclusions make a lot of sense!

Mac book pro getting hot

ive just purchased a new mac book pro and it is getting really really hot directyl under the key board, all the way to the edge of the case where the screen is, its nearly too hot to touch, should it be getting this hot?

What you will need to do is actually quantify exactly what you mean by hot. It's possible that it's too hot although it may well be normal. Temperature Monitor…

Hi, I bought a new Mac Book Pro, very high spec, installed Lion and now the machine is slow, glitchy. how do i wipe it and put Leopard back on it? any help would be great..?

Hi,
I bought a new Mac Book Pro a couple of months ago the new model, very high spec, i7 processor, 500g solid state drive, 8 gig of ram. all in all a very fast machine. however, i foolishly downloaded OS X Lion and as soon as i did i noticed a considerable difference in the machine basically its ground to a halt, its now slow glitchy programs shut down and crash. I'm new to Mac and in reminded of life in the world of Windows....! any suggestions should i wipe Lion off the machine and re install Leopard? any help would be appreciated..
Liam

Surely you meant to say that there was nothing in Lion you would prefer over !10.6! - Lion is 10.7.
As for what might be sapping your machines juice - have you run Activity Monitor yet? I always enable 'All Processes' and sort it by %CPU usage if i want to know whats cooking.
In addition to the list Disk Activity might give a hint.
If you are quite low on available disk space it might also be that osx is constantly swapping - best to keep a few GB of free space for it to work with.

Brand new mac book pro very slow

I just purchased a brand new mac book pro 13" with and i5 processor, 2.3ghz, 4 gb ram, running osX Lion. I bought it to replace my 2008 mac book pro that had a failing hard drive and a bad logic board. So i bought this new mac book 2 days ago, set it up and everything was great until i went to surf the net. My internet is so slow, webpages take ages to load about 5 minutes or more, same with videos (like on youtube). So I tried my old mac book and the internet was running great on that one, same with my roomates old macbook, my boyfriends pc and numerous other devices connected to my wifi (a nook, a tablet, and an iphone). So i checked my network settings everything was good, its was functioning fine according to network diagnostics. After googling this I switched my dns to googles public dns which made no difference either. When plugged directly into the router via ethernet the internet surfs like a champ. If the wireless internet preforms like this my new macbook is somewhat useless to me .Help! What could be the problem? Or did apple just really screw up the airport on these new macs? My old mac was a beast speed wise, i firgure the new mac should put the older ones to shame. What gives?

I suggest use the ethernet cable. They're much faster to transfer. You only need to connect your imac and mbpr directly to each other using the cable. There is no need for the wifi if you connect the ethernet cable.

Difficulties in connecting, mac book pro very low

I've bought a mac book pro and am now trying to transfer some files from my old power mac to the mac book, yesterday all I did was turn file sharing on and use finder to connect to the mac book through network on the side bar.
Today I try the same thing and it says "The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
I'm not interested in a work around I can probably find one myself, what I would like to know is where can I check what the power mac thinks the IP address of the mac book is? I can see the server name and that's right and I know the sharing options are the same as yesterday, Mac OS suggests you check these things but as I didn't set them and it found them on its own, where are they?
I suspect that you are using DHCP to distribute ip addresses on you LAN and that the MBP has a different ip address today than it did yesterday. You can find the new ip in the Network pane of System Preferences on the MBP. I can't figure out how to find out what the client thinks the ip of the MBP is, though. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist contains an entry for the last server connected to, for example, but it doesn't seem to include the ip. I deleted a bunch of obsolete files from ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost recently, though, which might have included this so you might look there.
P.S. Why does it also offer me the option to "Fix Alias" for a network item when all that does is open finder for this computers so I can point it at something on the hard drive?
No idea.

My mac book pro very slow after update to Yosemite

hi. my mac book very slow after I upgrade to Yosemite. Is anyone like me? How should I do?

Yes, many are like you. Most of them have incompatible or poorly written software or not enough ram though. Download and run EtreCheck http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck and post its result here so that we may get a look at your aystem.

Mac Book becomes very hot within munutes (67 C- 72 C)

I recently got a new macbook. It looks cool and all but got a big problem.
The notebook becomes very hot within minutes of usage.
I have downloaded the cpu temperature measurement utility and
got these readings.
a) 15 minutes of usage (67 Degree Centigrade, hot enought to
melt wax)
b) 30 minutes of usage (72 Degree centigrade)
After googling this topic, I see that many of the users of macbook are facing the same problem. Does apple intend to do
anything about this problem.
I have used sony vaio and dell in the past.
Never noticed any
heating problems with them.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.4) New

That's about the range I see for normal usage with a browser, mail, and itunes open. You must take into consideration the current room temperature. I've seen screenshots of MacBooks running up to 5 apps with temp is the 50s while others - like you and me - have temperatures in the high 60s low 70s.

Mac Book Pro Running Slow since installing Mountain Lion

Since I downloaded Mountain lion this summer my MAc Bok has been running slow and running hot. I am not sure what to do. I checked my hard drive is only 4GB and I may need to upgrade it. But waht else can I do?
Saran

You need at least 20 GBs of free space on your hard drive and at least 4 GBs of RAM.
Things You Can Do To Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X 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.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. 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, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. 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.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.
