MacBook Pro heating up and fans at full speed

MacBook Pro heating up and gets extremely hot and fans constantly at full speed after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 without even launching any applicaiton previously I was on Mavericks, I checked Activity monitor and a process called kexts is always running and have a large percentage of the CPU load I tried reinstalling Yosemite and the same problem happens.
MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011, 2.4 Ghz Intel Dual Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD graphics 3000 512 mb.

Thank you That solved my issue I uninstalled Cisco anytime connect. My console had that kernel running in the background giving the error every second.

Macbook pro heats up and fans go crazy as soon as I plug in charger, SMC reset doesnt help

Hi all, my problem is that my 2011 MBP heats up and fans speed up (a lot) as soon as I plug the charger in. There's no other apparent reason. No heavy CPU usage at all, SMC reset did nothing at all. It only started recently and it goes away as soon as I plug the charger out. Laptop also has an SSD fitted into it. Someone please help, thanks

Mac Book Pro heating up and fans working continuously

Hi,
This is my second Mac Book Pro, the first one "died" because of heating issues and only after an overhaul from the Mac Store, it worked again, but never the same, so I went to the Mac Store to get another one.
I purchased this one on March 2009 and three days ago it started heating up and using the fans constantly, consuming my battery very fast and making the annoying noise these little fans make. Not to mention the heat above the function keys is way beyond normal (normal: not burning your fingers when touching it for a couple of seconds).
Having had a bad heating experience with a previous Mac, I am freaking out now. Any advice on what should I look at before going to a Mac Store?
I don't use any games or very sophisticated software, basically Office, Firefox and iTunes with movies and everything included.
Here are some of my Mac's specs.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz

Thank you very much indeed,

Well it looks like there's a printer driver that is monopolizing your CPU. Do you have a Lexmark printer that you use? If so, here's a few things to try:
Download the latest print drivers for Lexmark and install them:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL901
Open Print & Fax in System Preferences and delete your Lexmark printer. Then hit the "+" symbol and add the printer back. That will let it install the new drivers.
If that doesn't work, check out the response by "Pitch64" near the bottom of this thread:

Macbook Pro heating up and draining battery after yosemite upgrade.

On Friday, I upgraded to Yosemite and I really like it. However my computer keeps heating up very quickly when doing simple tasks and the battery also drains. About 1% every 2 minutes when on Safari and having Pages open in the background. What can I do to slow down the battery drain. Before, on Mavericks I could get a whole day on Safari but now about half a day.
This is the report that I got from EtreCheck.

Macbook Pro Case, Display and Fan

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro now about 5 months.
Step by step i get some problems.
1.) On the left side of the case, were normally my left hand is, i get some kind of "corrosion?"
2.) My left fan make very strange crackling noise, it seems to die soon (its not the usual whining, there are really strange and loud noises (like nut cracking)).
3.) My display supsension is not very stable . That means, while input of text, the display bounces.
4.) The Macbook Pro gets unbelievable hot. Especially left from touchpad, above keyboard and near the display on the left side.
5.) The akkumulator gets very hot too.
These things are a little bit to much to accept.
What can i do? I bought my Macbook Pro in Germany, but living now in moscow. Can i arrange a change here?
Thank you very much
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi there,
the warranty is world-wide, you can take it in to an Apple centre in moscow and they will repair it for you

Macbook Pro 13" early-2011 Fans at high speed

Hi guys,
I hope you can solve this pussle for me.
My Macbook Pro (13", early 2011, Core i5 @ 2.3) started to behave weird, its fan (only the exhaust one, since it's a 13" Macbook Pro with the Intel HD integrated graphics) is running at top speed (6200-6208 rpms) with no reason at all. No system processes consuming high CPU, just idling.
There's a twist to this issue, though. It only does it when I open the lid more than 90 degrees. If I get it back the fan returns to normal functioning.
What I did:
checked the temperature sensor values, they are fine
checked for crazy background tasks, there are none, CPU usage is at max 7%
it does the same thing even in safe mode
reset PRAM
reset SMC
reinstalled OS X (Lion). Updated to 10.7.4
searched every discussion I could find on this matter
The difference between this issue and others I encountered along the way is the lid opening thing.
Does anyone know if getting the lid past the 90 degree mark triggers anything?
The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the bottom of it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

You may have diagnosed the problem.
(The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the bottom of it.)
I would take off the bottom cover and see if there is any offending material. If not, then the Apple store genius bar should be your next destination.
Ciao.

Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) Fans at Full Speed at Boot

I have a 2006 Mac Pro (Model Identifier MacPro1,1) and as soon as the power button is pressed, the fans will go to full speed.
Diagnostic LEDs are showing Trickle Power as good but every other LED does not light up. The main one that should be on should be the Power On, which should show green within 5 seconds of pressing the power button.
Any feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

No video. But it isn't the video? and I don't know that you tested it. I do know the three cards I mentioned have been and are due for junk heap. Failing, not supported, underpowered, will go out.
I have seen bad RAM do all kinds of things.
But reading the forums, the number of issues with video cards is rather high.
Trouble shoot is educated guesses and hunches, especially when I don't know you did X and Y and confirmed it isn't your UPS or video card.
There is no hardware profile.
There is no mention of WHAT video card.
What was done.
Etc.
Give me a break. Those are not guesses. You are expecting mind reading.
I do take offense at the rudeness of your thanklessness of anyone offer of help, time and effort.
That helps others and narrows it down and rules out a few things.
You'd do better with Google and MacRumors I'm sure.

Power Mac G5 apple logo stuck and fans running full speed

HI everybody,
I have been looking around in many forums and i noticed that a lot of people encountered a similar problem. Unfortunately untill now, nobody could give a real suggestion on how solve this issue.
In few words, my G5 (late 2005) 2gh 5gb ram 10.5.8 get stuck to the apple logo (grey initial screen) without going trough the start up. After a while the fans start to run full speed.
I have tried several solutions....but nothing so for.
I have reset the SMU button.
I removed all the ram slot and changed position.
The HD is ok and empty.
I even tried to warm the logic board with an hair drier as i read in a discussion...and i don't know why, the G5 could go trough the start up. Since it was active, i run the apple test. Result: All Ok
After rebooting successfully for 4/5 times, i switched it off. The morning after the G5 was dead again.
I am kind of lost.
Any suggestion?
Tnx

MacBook 2007: 104°C and fan beyond maximum speed!

Hello.
2 years ago I bought this MacBook Late 2007 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo model. It wasn't new though it worked like it should. I use my MacBook nearly every day for at least 6 hours a day. It has OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 running nicely on my SSD, so there's no complaining about it's speed as it still just feels new.
It has one big problem though. As I use my MacBook for watching videos, listening to music and gaming etc., my MacBook always runs very hot (~80-100°C). This became a standard for the last few months. When I turn on my MacBook it's processor about 15°C hotter than room temperature. Though it only warms up when actually doing something, this normally lasts for a minute because I'll start using it immediately. Right now I'm typing this question, my MacBook is 58°C. Safari has 2 tabs open, and iTunes is running in the background. The fan is running at 4500rp/m. This is the lowest temperature I can achieve while using the MacBook. When I first bought this MacBook it would run at 30°C while using it. Now it's around 60°C.
When it's beyond 60°C the fans will start running to their maximum speed, which is 6200rp/m. However this month I started to notice something that I consider dangerous. My Core 2 Duo reaches 104°C while watching a 480p video! That's 1 degree away from turning off. I know that MacBooks are designed to run at these temperatures, but actually acieving this temperature on watching a video or playing a two-dimensional game is just rediculous.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the thermal paste, and though I'm specialized in these kind of things, I don't want to screw up the MacBook. It runs super fast because of the SSD. Buying me a new MacBook would be a total loss of money since it still performs very well.
I've tried tools like SMCFanControl. Of course it doesn't help because any CPU will warm up when doing intensive tasks. I don't find it helpful.
Lastly, the fan's maximum speed is officially 6200rp/m. Mine reaches 7600rp/m (this is the fan that came with my MacBook. Not a custom one.) and after a short period of time it shuts off. After a second or two it'll turn on again. When this happens it's at 104°C.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!.

I have essentially the same computer and I'm wondering if perhaps your fan is failing? That could explain some of the odd behaviors and readings you're seeing!
My computer typically runs at 70C when I'm using it (I'll have Chrome open with several tabs, at least one of which has a lot of Flash content) and the fan runs around 6200 rpm.
Streaming videos always brings up the temperature to levels similar to what you're seeing - and I believe it's always done that. I can't recall a time when it didn't.
Could you give the link for some of the videos you watch that are causing the fan speed and temperature to increase? I'll try them on my machine and see if it exhibits the same behavior.
Also, keep in mind that many sites that stream videos or have games on them use Adobe's Flash plugin, which is terrible on OS X. It will ramp up the CPU usage to an incredible degree, which in turn means the temperature and fan speed will go up.

Does anyones Macbook Pro heat up?

I find that my Macbook Pro heats up and gets hot.
Is this normal?
Does anyone else find theirs does this?
It's not even a year old

It's normal depending on how hard you're working it.
Do a search for "Activity Monitor," launch the application, and monitor the CPU usage.

The fan in my Macbook Pro heats up

The fan in my Macbook Pro heats up quite fast.
I wanted to know how much it would cost to get it fixed as I don't have Apple care and my warranty has expired?

Buy an external microphone or a headset. Which type depends on what type Mac you have. The 13" model has a single combo jack, the 15" and 17" models have separate input and output jacks.

My macBook Pro heats up so hot and nearly burning my lap

my macBook Pro heats up so hot and nearly burning my lap. Anything wrong with it? Should I bring it to Apple store?

Here's a search of cooling pads for MacBooks. I use one that just elevates my MacBook Pro off my lap so air can circulate between my lap and it...... letting the Mac's fan work best. You have to keep the air from being blocked going in and out of it and clothing and blankets interrupt that.
MacBooks tend to heat up if you are taxing it with video games and steaming videos, etc.. Maybe yours is at the age where the battery may be on it's way out. When mine neared the end of it's life it heated up quite a bit raising the temps for the whole machine.
Here's the free Temperature monitor. Maybe it can point to something.

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

64 bit.
32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
Your computer is 64 bit
New programs use 64 bit.
There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.

I just bought Macbook pro with SSD and sometimes it is making noice like wind is blowing and it heats up my Mac.. So, is it normal?

Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.
