Macbook pro 13" 2010 Northbridge Temperatur 85°C normal???

Is this Temperatur normal?
When i´m browsing with safari, no Flash! i´ve got this high temperaturs!

The temperature is high but not lethal.  Open Activity Monitor to 'All Processes' and set '% CPU' to read from high to low.  Is there any application that is taking an abnormal amount of CPU resources?  This is what you are looking for:

  • Macbook Pro Late 2010- High Temperatures, Low Load

    So, before I say anything here, I've just recently had a logic board replacement. I was having some serious issues which it did fix, but some must be from another reason.
    Firstly, I dont know if this is normal, but my Macbook Pro (Late 2010 model, 15") gets extremely hot, sometimes doing nothing more than Photoshop or even broswing the internet. I have it on a flat surface, where the fans have room to expel the air, and although they appear to be running normally, it doesnt seem to help.
    I have also experienced issues with the charger. My last charger stopped working unexpectidly, and already the new one I got shortly before I took the laptop to be repaired is having issues. The connector is getting extremely hot as the other did before it died, and the LED light is not on most of the time, yet the laptop is still being charged.
    The laptop seems to get hottest on the top left corner around the escape button. There isn't much of a noticable difference in temperature on battery versus power supply.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Reset SMC.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, you may have to contact Apple again.

  • Macbook Pro 17 2010 fan not keeping up with temperate increase.

    I have a macbook pro 17 2010 i7 with 8gb ram running mavericks 10.9.1. I have istat menu installed and been using it since mountain lion. Even before I upgraded to mavericks I've had this issue with my fans staying at 2000 rpm even though my temp is at 170-190 ºF. I would have to manually adjust it to medium or high in istat menu to lower the temperature. This is just under normal usuage with firefox ( i do understand safari is the best browser that doesn't take a lot of the laptops resources), or if I load up iPhotos my temp spikes. Before, I wouldn't even have to worry about looking at my temps because I can hear the fan increase automatically (under heavy load with gaming). Lately its been to silent even at 190ºF and thats when I been paying attention to the temps even more.
    What i've done to try to resolve this issue but with no success:
    Took apart bottom cover and vacuumed out the fan, ducts, grills, keyboard, and any dust that was there.
    reset SMC
    restored computer to factory settings with snow leopard, upgraded to mountain lion and lastly mavericks
    Below is what my status bar says about my system as of right now.
    Temp is at 130ºF and cpu usage is only at 9%
    Can someone help me resolve this issue? I just want the fan to automatically increase as the temp increased like before.

    First things first. Please do not post crash reports here.
    Put them on pastebin.com and give us link.
    That out of the way, before anything else, patch InDesign to 7.0.4.

  • Macbook pro mid 2010 13.3 inch - battery charging

    I have a Macbook Pro mid 2010, 13.3 inches.
    The battery stopped charging, I see the problem was the dc MagSafe. Replaced it, now only connects the laptop (I've tried with another battery and the problem persists, my battery works and usually carries another laptop) and work with it plugged in but not charging the battery.
    What should be the problem? Agurado suggestions ... I've tried the SMC, I tried to put another battery, etc etc, and the problem persists.
    I wish I could help.

    Open System Profiler>Power and post this from your MBP:
    (make certain that your charger is connected?
    Also run an Apple Hardware Test:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.

  • Apple Unibody 13.3" MacBook Pro (Mid-2010): 4GB vs. 8GB DDR3 1066MHz Memory (RAM).

    Apple Unibody 13.3" MacBook Pro (Mid-2010): 4GB vs. 8GB DDR3 1066MHz Memory (RAM).
    1. About my Mac.
         Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo (2.66GHz)
         Memory (RAM): 4.00GB DDR3 1066MHz (2 x 2.00GB)
         Hard Drive: 320GB 5400RPM (Apple Stock HD)
         Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 320M (256MB)
         Operating System: Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1)
    2. My concerns/questions
         For quite some time now, I've been planning to upgrade the memory (RAM) of my MacBook Pro from 4.00GB (Apple Stock) to 8.00GB. In terms of "FASTER BOOT TIMES, IMPROVED RESPONSIVENESS (OPENING and CLOSING PROGRAMS, FILES & ETC.), SMOOTHER GRAPHICS, ABILITY TO OPEN MORE PROGRAMS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE", does it really make a BIG difference?
         If ever I am going to pursue this upgrade, should I let Apple do the upgrade or buy the parts and do it myself?
         If I am going to buy the parts and install it myself, what brand do you recommend? Crucial, Kingston, OWC & etc.?
         Why does Apple charge so much for memory (RAM) upgrades? Is the memory module they are using any special compared to the ones we can find in Amazon (Crucial, Kingston, OWC & etc.)?
    Thanks for helping me out with my concerns.

    I recommend OWC RAM because it's reasonably priced and OWC's support is great if you ever need it. I recommend installing the RAM yourself because it's dead simple. There is no good reason for anyone ever to pay Apple's prices for RAM.
    I don't think you will see faster boot times with more RAM, but that shouldn't be a concern, because there's seldom any need to shut down or restart a MBP. Just put it to sleep when you aren't using it, unless you won't use it again for more than two or three days. Opening and closing programs won't benefit significantly from more RAM either, but when running multiple large programs at once, you will see a significant improvement in their performance. It's well worth the small investment ($65) to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB.

  • Macbook pro mid 2010 15" 16 GB ram upgrade possible?

    I recently purchased RAM from Crucial.com for 8 GB and after having researched a bit online I've heard of users upgrading to 16 GB.  Is this true? 
    Here are the specs of my cpu:
    MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    Can anyone give me insight?  I'm not very computer literate, but could use all the advice I could get.  Thank you kindly

    Good morning ipodsmut,
    The MacBook Pro mid 2010 model supports up to 8GB of RAM. See this Apple specifications article -
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Any idea what it is? I'd appreciate any sort of diagnose?
    My Mac has had some freezing issues before and recently was in repair because of those (memory was changed), but I've never got an error message after a freeze, and I've always had to force shut down it when it freezes. Ran the Apple hardware test couple of times, but nothing found.
    I guess I have to reinstall Lion if this continues...

    Hello V-MA!
    I found this webpage: http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc1
    by googeling for "com.apple.NVDAResman"
    Probably you have to remove the Geforce Grafic drivers as discribed here. But please wait until some others in the forum confirm this.
    If you don't understand how to do these commands with Terminal, ask once again for help.
    In your message you did not metion, that you just updated 1 hour and something your OS ("System uptime in nanoseconds: 6688834587150"). This is an important information.

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2010 Battery Capacity

    I've read a few threads about this, mostly about battery capacity rapidly dropping after an install of ML. I installed ML when it first came out, and just noticed the drastic decrease in battery life about 3 weeks ago. My capacity could have potentially been dropping since I installed ML (and I just now noticed it), or it may have just started a couple weeks ago when I noticed. I'm not sure.
    Either way, my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) now has a battery life of less than an hour, even with extremely light processor load. I contacted Apple about this, and the tech said that the battery was rated for 1000 cycles. I'm currently at 220, and my battery capacity is a pathetic 30%. He said that since I wasn't under warranty, there was nothing they could do besides replace the battery - which I really want to avoid since I'm a broke college student.
    Is there anything I can do here? I understand that I'm not under warranty anymore, and this wouldn't be a problem if my battery was degrading normally. However, getting 1/5th of the recommended battery life is pretty sad. I've read that doing a clean install of Mountain Lion/Lion might help. Is there a way I can do this without having to back up all my files? I don't have an external hard drive or anything.
    It seems this is a common topic in these forums. Any help or links to solutions would be great. If this is answered in a similar topic, I'll gladly delete.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2010 (Model 6.2) restarts like cray cray

    Can't believe this is happening...
    Macbook Pro Mid 2010 Model - Intel i5 2.4GHz - RAM 8GB - GPU NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
    So I've seen quite a lot of threads discussing the 'GPU Panic' issue since I first encountered it a few weeks ago. The problem had never occurred on my MBP prior to that. However, the situation is now so bad that I wouldn't be able to open the Mac OS and make a copy of the panic report before it automatically reboots. Fortunately I have Windows 8 installed on the machine so I am still able to post for help on here.
    A few questions / personal thoughts on the issue:
    I bought this MBP back in June 2010 in China... So I won't be eligible for a free repair by any means right? It's been almost fours years since the purchase - significantly longer than three years restricted by Apple. I've seen another user who posted how they successfully defended their consumer rights by bringing some printouts of consumer laws and regulations. Lots of respect for that... But surely that only applies to goods purchased in the UK right? I'm so screwed... If a repair costs a few hundred quid then there is no point doing it, is there? I guess I can live with Windows for one or two years before the machine wears out and then get a new one. That being said, I still wonder if anyone in similar situation has managed to get free repair (GPU / logic board replacement or whatever it is). If so, mind sharing your story?
    Is it nearly impossible to make a Genius Bar reservation nowadays or is it just me? My plan was to bring my MBP and talk to a genius and see where it goes. But both Covent Garden and Regent Street seem fully booked until a distant future. The reservation page does not show any available time slots, it simply says 'There are no available appointments at this store'. I mean I don't really mind if it is in a few days, a week, a month or even a year, just give me something. Telling people 'no availabe appointments at this store' is not very helpful is it? Since I have never had a Genius reservation (never had any issue using my MBP until this one - the good old days are gone) before, I'm curious what would happen if I just walk in with my MBP. Would they ask me to make a reservation or would they serve me right away?
    Since I have never encountered the GPU panic issue (or any issue really) before I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. I had never had any similar problems running Windows (Previously Vista, 7 and now 8) on my MBP either. I am speculating maybe the GPU Panic issue is more of a software bug. I am not ruling out the possibility of the GPUs being defective, but considering that fact everything was perfectly fine before the arrival of the evil Mavericks (for me, the upgrade to Mvericks 10.9.2), maybe the specific problem is down to Mavericks? I think this could be good news because Apple could quickly fix it for everyone as long as they know about the issue. Well... I don't think our chances of getting it sorted quickly are good, especially not when the new iPhone/iOS, which generates 10X more profits than Macs, is at the most critical stage of development. What do you guys think?
    Oh it is just so frustrating. Using Windows on a Mac is definitely a nightmare - miserable 2 hour battery life and noisy non-stop fan spinning. Someone please help....................
    TH

    In the Replacement Program Support Article, it states:
    Apple will service affected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers free of charge until three years from date of purchase. This worldwide Apple program does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the affected MacBook Pro.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    According to these terms, you are outside the eligibility window. However, I still second andyBall_uk's sentiments.
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation. Print out a copy of the kernel panic report and the Support Article. If the 'Genius' refuses servicing without cost, ask for the store manager. It is ultimately at the manager's discretion.
    Additionally, if this doesn't work out, you can look into Apple's flat fee repair program:
    Do You Know About Apple's Flat Rate Repair Pricing?
    Best of luck.

  • MacBook Pro mid 2010 - iMac late 2012 in target mode?

    Can I connect a MacBook Pro mid 2010 with Mini Display Port with a late 1012 iMac in target mode? Thanks.

    A 2010 MBP does not support Thunderbolt technology so that is not an avenue for you.  A Fire wire with one of these adapters should enable you to connect the two devices:

    Startup – Computer restarts by itself – Mountain Lion

  • My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) won't startup correctly in my admin account, but works fine if I use the guest account...

    My MacBook Pro (mid-2010) suddenly stopped working when I was overseas, but I managed to fix it when I returned back to the States after I reformatted and erased the disk, then installed Yosemite. I lost most of my files but didn't really care, though I noticed that some pictures from iPhoto had survived and were in the Trash folder.
    I thought I could copy/paste them back into iPhoto, but it wouldn't let me since they were still in the trash. I started getting an error message for EACH PICTURE saying it couldn't be copied because it was in the trash, and when I realized that I'd have to click "ok" 644 times (once for each picture), I tried to restart, then shut down, and eventually forced a shut down by holding down the power button. This is where the problem started...
    After trying to startup again, I was able to login to my admin account, and the desktop image would load, but I'd get the spinning rainbow wheel and the computer would remain frozen like that from then on. I tried to repair the disk (there was nothing wrong), and even re-installed the operating system again, but still the problem persists. BUT, if I login with my guest account, everything works fine.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with it somehow being frozen on those error messages for those 600+ pictures, but I have no idea how to fix/unfreeze it. Any tips or suggestions?

    Can the use of SATA3 instead of SATA2 hdd lead to some issues with my macbook?
    I can try to find and buy new SATA2 sdd hdd but they are expensive and I'm not sure it will fix the restarting issue.
    SATA3 is backwards compatible with SATA2.  That is not likely to be your problem.
    Based on what you have done, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.
    Ciao.

  • Help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010 (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)?

    help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010
    Hi, I need some peoples help on fixing my laptop. I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2010 model, and it refuses to boot into either osx or windows. Every time I prevoiusly treid to boot into mac osx I got this error "panic (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)". there is an image below. and when I had treid to boot into windows (bootcamp) I got this error "A disk read error occured Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I have treid to restart the computer and gotten both these errors agian. The strange things is this deosn't always happen, sometimes I don't get any errors, and it just has the apple logo whith the spinning loading thing happening below (I left this for an hour and it still kept spinning, and never loaded). Other times it just show white whith no errors but never loads, sometime it lets me alt to select which os to boot into (nether work), but other times it just freezes and shows a mouse cursor on the white background. it's not consistent.
    Most recently it has a flashing folder on a white background. I treid inserting my osx disc and went into disc utility but it doesn't detect my hardrive. It may be a faulty hardrive or sata cable but I dont know (I have links below). I was recently (well for the first time), defragmenting my windows partition, it hit temparatures of 80-85C, and stayed at that for several hours throughout the defragmentation, would this have damaged it? 
    I have scoured the internet and found many people whith very similar problems to me but none whith the same, and A lot of people saying that if you get the error you should just use a time machine backup, the thing is I don't have a time machine backup. The internal hardrive I am currently using on my laptop is a seagate 640gb 5400rpm (it's not an apple harddrive). every thing else it standard, standard ram and no overclocking, I was running 10.6.8 snow leopard, and windows xp profesional 32bit (split 320gb each, whith about 10gb spare on each parttion).
    It would be greatly appreiciated If any one could shed some light on what I should do. I need the laptop working whithin the week (for my tafe work), but If I have to reinstall the OS's and programs it could take a long0I have a lot of programs and that could take a month. not to mention The fact that the hardrive might be completly fine and it's just a faulty sata connection. but then would I still be getting an error if thats all thats wrong?. and if it is just the error is there anyway I can fix it whitout doing a fresh install, there a error reading document blow but I cannot make heads or tails of it. I also have almost no money to afford getting it fixed.
    also one last thing, I stupitidely inserted my mac osx disc 95% of the way into my macs slot loading drive when it was powered down (off). when I turned it on it sucked it in fine, but would that have caused any damage to the disc or laptop (I cannot eject the disc to check)
    I have images of many of the things I described below. So any suggestions.
    I have also posted this on several other websiets if that helps)

    The problem may be that your macbook is'nt set to 'mirror image' if you go into settings, onto 'displays' there should be an option within, once youre connected, to 'mirror image' if you check this box, then the problem should be sorted, if not then maybe a dodgy cable or adapter.

  • Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

    I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced  a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
    Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
    Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
    Thanks so much,
    Anthony

  • MacBook Pro Mid-2010 kernel panic at each restart

    Hi,
    As most of you, I succumbed to temptation to update my MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with OSX Lion. First, I've done a traditional upgrade from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) from the Mac App Store. Due to some problems (see list bellow), I've decided to make a clean install (by extracting the file InstallESD.dmg from the Lion downloaded package. I've burned the package on on 16GB USB key (8GB is sufficient). Well.. On both type of installation I've encoutered the same problems.
    The 99% of the time, my MBP make a kernel panic at the start (both when I do a simple restart of the system or after restating the system after a normal shutdown.
    As I use mainly my MBP for professional use, I set the system to ask for a user logon at system start. Mainly each time, it wasn't possible to logon to the system. As soon as I tried to enter my password, I only see the game wheel icon turning on the screen and no possibility to enter my password. In this state, my only solution was to restart my system by pressing the power button.
    Both of these two problem was replicable in either an upgraded system or on a clean install.
    Finally (because I'm a patient guy :-) ), I've do a third clean installation, restored my system from one TimeMachine backup and found a solution to avoid having the problem I explain into the point 2.
    When you restore a backup from TimeMachine from within Mac OSx, you have to create a second admin account, log onto this account and run the Migration Assistant to restore your backup. Admitting that, like me, during the clean OS installation, you've used the same account name as the one you had into your backuped installation, at the time of the TimeMachine restore, Migration Assistant will propose you two things:
    Create a new user and restore our TimeMachine backup on this new username
    Replace the existing username on your clean installed machine my the one that was backup into timemachine
    As I've previously created a new account with admin right, I've logged on this account, launch Migration Assistant, confirm that I'm okay to restore my TimeMachine backup on the already existing user.
    Finally, this setup resolved my point 2 problem. The difference between my initial setup and the one I use now is that I've now two users presented on my logging screen. To log on now, I've to choose the user, enter the password and never had the problem I had before with only one user set on my system.
    Now, I really hope that Apple will fix this first version of Lion asap. For the rest, I'm pretty happy with the system. I'll work this week with Lion and will see if I encounter other problems. One thing is sure, I'll keep my TimeMachine backup of my previous Snow Leopard system at a safe place until I'll be sure that Lion will be stable.
    Cheers....

    Hi,
    That's correct, I'm running with one RAM chip, after testing the bays work correctly first, I elliminated that route, so it was indeed a bad RAM chip module.
    I was just about to give up, as the first swap was with the good RAM out, so same problem. I thought I had nothing to lose by swapping the RAM again, and voila, it worked. I'm opening up some seriously big photoshop files at present, just to make doubly sure it's been resolved ha ha.
    I'm looking at replacing my RAM now with OWC, as apparently according to their website and with the correct EFI updates, you can max out the mid 2010 MBP with 16GB of RAM. I'll much rather treat myself to that, than forking out on a new logic board.
    I think it's quite a simple, but effective fix this one.
    Thanks for all the advice and help, I really did appreciate it.
    Ciao,
    Adrian
