Macbook Air runs slow and very hot!

The lastest version of MBA (2010), suddenly the fan runs and hot, then every programs are working slowly. Everytime, click something, the rainbow circle mark shows up and spins.
I tried to cool the fan off using cooling fan (connected MBA), my brother has same one, he is doing same thing one week before.
I am living in Powell River, I called to centre, they recommended me that I should visit one of Apple center. But then I have to trip at least one day.
I read all stuffs in this commuities...but still I couldn't get answers.
Could you somebody who is expert about this, help me please.
I didn't download Lion of new version. I bought this last year in December...so it is really new one.
Typing is okay...but when I tried to open one of all programs...every time it takes so long, and sometimes freezing.
And the fan is running...heat.
Start up is okay, thought a little slower than three days ago.
Well...I can't explain well...but I am sure, you guys had same situation like me.
Did you fix it? how?

  • Macbook Pro Running Slow and Very Hot!!

    I took my Macbook to the Apple store and they analysed it and said that there was no problem with the actual Macbook and they updated the software.  It is still running very slow and really hot.  They cost alot of money and am really not happy with this happening after just two years of having it.

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple tech support.  Let them deal w/it. 

  • HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • MacBook air running slow and fan really loud how to fix?

    MacBook Air running slow and fan is really loud and using lots of battery.  How to fix?

    Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

  • Macbook Pro running slow and getting hot very quick

    So I own a macbook pro, and i bought it last november. Lately its been running really slow, and it gets hot really quickly.
    when i go to look at my storage, it says i have 435.14 GB free out of 499.25 GB so i dont think space is an issue.
    What can i do to fix this? I can't get on my macbook for longer than 10 minutues without it getting hot, and it takes me forever to load pages, etc.
    It's still fairly new so i dont see why i would be having problems already. I only really use it for school and some misc web surfing. can someone help me out please!

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple tech support.  Let them deal w/it. 

  • My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode

    My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode when I press Alt + Power it takes me to Mac os Utilities the mouse barely moves, I erased every thing on the hard drive so I can install a fresh copy of mac os but I couldn't because every time I try to boot up from the USB that got the mac os it takes for ever to load the OS for installtion, and some times every thing freeze when I'm on the Mac os Utilities mode. Any ideas of what's going on ?

    Contact AppleCare or make an appt with your local Apple Store Genius. I don't think this is a problem we can help with.

  • My MacBook is running slow and freezes

    My MacBook is running slow and freezes.

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

  • My macbook is running slow and i wanted to know which SSD is compatible for a 2009 model macbook pro??

    my macbook is running slow and i wanted to know which SSD is compatible for a 2009 model macbook pro??

    GitongaKuria,
    several people here use Crucial, OWC and Samsung SSDs. I have a Samsung 840 PRO SATA III SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and your 2009 model and my 2010 model both have SATA II interfaces — these brands of SATA III SSDs (at minimum) work well in MacBook Pros with SATA II interfaces. In the case of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, make sure that you visit the Samsung SSD firmware page to download and install its latest firmware.

  • My Macbook pro from 2010 is running slow and extremely hot. What can I do to get it running better again?

    I have a 4 year old macbook pro that is not running very well. It heats up quickly and becomes so hot you can hardly touch the bottom. It is also running slow and has been freezing more lately. What can I do to get to running better again?

    When that is happening run this to see what is running and then copy and paste the results here:

  • HT2353 Macbook Pro running slow and freezing

    So it just started yesterday running slow and freezing. I'm starting to get very frustrated. I research to see what could be the problem. I saw people suggesting that it could be the storage. My storage is 464.75 free out of 499.25. I just brought this computer last year on christmas. I thought it could be adblock but it never cause me problems but I paused the app and it still doesn't work. What is wrong? Should I restart the computer? If I do how can I backup my things? Also i'm really not a computer person so if you can describe to me the problem in layman terms that'll be great!
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    OH! and it's not just safari that's going slow but itunes,word,etc

    Hello,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • MacBook Pro running slow and freezing--Installed OnyX

    I am having problems with my MacBook Pro. For a while I was using Safari and getting the beachball A LOT. So, I switched to Chrome. For the past two days it has been running slow and freezing...when typing it would freeze and a few seconds later it would resume and the letters I typed would appear. After reading forums, I did the repair disk permissions. Nothing changed. I downloaded OnyX. After executing two tasks under cleaning..I believe System and User, it is already running better and hasn't froze once. My question is...which tasks should I perform on OnyX? I read somewhere that not all of them should be done. Like I said, I only did 2 and then stopped. I'm kind of over my head and don't want to screw anything up or do anything that doesn't need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

  • MacBook Pro running slow and lagging during app switches/start

    I mean, it's really getting bad. I have to force quit repeatedly and then by some miracle - something takes and the program opens. Most of the time this happens with Photoshop and Firefox (which is what I use most often). PS does not have a bunch of add-ons running or installed. It's pretty much CS3 factory.
    I ran Disk Utility yesterday - during the verify disc, it told me to boot from the install disc to fix the 2 errors it found. I backed everything up and I did. Ran all the verifies and repairs from the start disc.
    Still running slow and by this I mean when I open an application it takes a ridiculously long time to open the double-clicked document or just the program itself to get to a new doc. I noticed it again this morning with Excel (which is something I don't usually leave open and running).
    What else I have done, which helped but just a smidgen ... was to remove all the extra fonts (and I did have thousands) in Font Book. I also removed Font Book entirely because it was another program that was locking up and needing force quit all the time ... and I just plain don't like it. So I installed Suitcase Fusion and only have the bare minimum needed in there (which kind of bothers me since I am used to have thousands on hand that just need to be turned on or off - yes I know, I keep them all off unless they are absolutely needed). But I only have one set in the Suitcase (42 font family).
    I got my laptop in Feb ... so this painfully slow and lagging stuff shouldn't be happening. It used to work great. I could have all the apps open, flipping between them, really getting things done.
    Here's my comp info:
    Version 10.6.4
    Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    HD: 500gb but I have 345gb free
    Any obvious things I am overlooking? Any suggestions on how to get this fairly new thing back up to speed?
    Thanks!

  • White Macbook (mid 2006) Runs loud and very hot,  battery not charging

    I know my Macbook is getting a bit old now, but I don't think the way it is running is very normal.
    The battery will say that it is fully charged, but it will only last about half an hour when disconnected from the charger. The light on the charger will not come on either, or it will blink when i attach it, then stay out.
    My Macbook will also run very loudly, and hot. I don't ever run too many programs at once, so I know that it's not a strain on the system from what I can tell.
    I tried resetting the SMC since it sounded like the problems I am having would be solved by resetting it.
    Are there any known problems such as these, or fixes? Thanks.
