Macbook pro md313 over heat, is it normal ?
i bought macbook pro md313 2 days ago, its really really over heat it burns my legs and very loud fan, is it normal ? and if its not how to fix this problem ?

Without any real data we cannot give you any advice. Install from the Internet iStat pro and then you will be able to see the actual internal temperature and fan speeds for your MBP.
In the mean time be advised that there are temperature sensors that will shut down your MBP before it commits Hari Kari, so do not be unduly alarmed.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Retina Over-heating

Hi, I am a fairly new owner of a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display as of June 2012. I bought the laptop with a 3-year AppleCare Protection Plan from an Apple Store in the U.S.A. and now living in the U.A.E.
Just recently within the past month have I encountered an abnormal regular problem with the laptop overheating at high tempertures (almost too hot to touch). It has never done this before and normally ran at a cooler temperture. No I'm afraid my laptop is at risk of being damaged due to the heat.
My question is: knowing that there NO Offical Apple Stores in the U.A.E., what suggestions are there to fix this issue with the overheating, or where may I take it to have it repaired.
Thanks,
- Jordan

Go here - https://locate.apple.com/ae/en/ - there are Apple Authorized Service Providers in the UAE.
See if there's one close by...

clean install your mac!
or before clean install,use ccleaner and check activity monitor to see cpu usage!every task which has the most usage of your cpu,quit from it.

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

Don't use the computer in your lap, or on a blanket or pillow. The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system so it needs air underneath. If you must use the computer in your lap, get a lapboard. There are cheap, even more so if you make one yourself.
If the computer is a older MBP with silver keys, avoid "clamshell" mode when using an external monitor. Those models let a lot of heat escape through the keyboard. The black-key Unibody versions don't seem to rely so much on the keyboard as a vent.
Like eww said, what feels hot to you may not threaten the computer's well-being. Get a temperature monitoring utility. I like this one:
http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
It runs politely in the background and puts the readout in the menubar:
so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. As Dashboard loads all its widgets as soon as it's invoked, the extra widget processes can run up the temps and you don't get a true average use temp.
If you use Dashboard a lot, those processes stay active after the first launch and can eat processor cycles as well as increase temps. I use DashQuit, a widget that shuts down Dashboard when I'm done without requiring a computer restart. It's here:

My Macbook Pro Retina display heats up and makes a certain sea wave like noise. what could the issue be?

My Macbook Pro Retina display heats up and makes a certain sea wave like noise. what could the issue be?

You should have a backup in the first place. If you don't, buy an external drive (they're inexpensive these days) and make a Time Machine or a clone backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner).
Then take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them diagnose the computer. See if they can isolate what may possibly be making the 'clicking' sound.

How to setup new Mountain Lion in Macbook Pro MD313

Hi All,
I have the problem about upgrade to from Lion to Mountain Lion, Now, i want setup new OS ML in Macbook pro MD313.! How to the new setup ML

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You are using Lion, and AirPlay Mirroring needs Mountain Lion. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You have two options:
1. Upgrade to Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your files and check that your applications are comaptible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. When the upgrade finishes, you will see an AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
2. Use an app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

MacBook Pro Kernel_Task over 300% ; laptop running very slow

My new (4 week old) MacBook Pro suddenly this weekend started running very slow with the fan running constantly. I found the "kernel_task" was running the CPU over 300%. I tried various methods mentioned in different threads but nothing worked. I eventually went all the way to wiping the disk and reinstalling the OS. This has NOT fixed the problem. I do not know where to go next. I am posting a copy of the EtreCheck report I ran, and I am looking for any help.
The next step is taking this thing back to the Apple store. I love my MacBook, but not when it is not lagging like something running Windows ME. I expected more out of this machine than this.

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to
a buildup of dust on the logic board
high ambient temperature
a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

My 2009 15inch mac book pro cause over heating

reacently am having huge problem on my 2009 mac book pro 15.4 inch, the machine battery got swallow and was replace,the hard disk got damage and was replace with seagate,the memory became default and also replace,the original isntallation disk got corrupted and a friend gave me his own for installation,after the installation the machine can takes longer time in booting and after booting it cause over heating,
well what might cause the over heating and also slow in booting,thus hard to start on,my last option is to forward it to apple store for fixing excessieve heating and booting problems and general service as it is causeing me greatly
please forward solution and immediate service to

if no respond the machine will be forward to apple store for general service

Exactly what model MacBook Pro do you have?
Many MBP's have two graphic processors (gpu's) and if you are using the dedicated graphics processor, your MBP will heat up a lot more than when the built-in graphics processor is in use. For example, the current non-Retina MBP's have both a built-in Intel HD 4000 graphics processor and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor.
You can control which video processor is in use via System Preferences > Energy Saver. If you are running Lion (10.7) there is an option for Automatic Graphics Switching which you should turn off (disable) in order to use only the built-in video processor. In my own experience I have found very few cases where the dedicated gpu gives 'better' performance than the built-in gpu.

MacBook Pro Retina - Fan/Heat During File Transfer

Hey guys,
I just had my MacBook Pro Retina in for repair because of an 4HDD/11/400000000: Sata (0,0) error and they replaced the SSD. I have a 2.7/16/768 configuration. One of the main issues I noticed was periodically slow file transfers, load times and boots hanging etc. and a secondary reason was a high-pitched buzzing with heavy disk usage.
My question now is... when I'm doing something as simple as a large file transfer, or installing some apps etc. the MacBook really heats up and the fans really start spinning sometimes. I've never known SSD access to heat up a computer so much. Is this normal behaviour that everyone else is experiencing with their systems? To clarify: this happens when not doing anything else with the machine other than copying files around, also when copying files to/from my external drive which is connected through FireWire on the back of my 27" Thunderbolt display which is then of course connected to the MacBook via the Thunderbolt port.
Expected behaviour? Seems odd to me, but this is my first MacBook so don't know if that's the 'norm' or not.

I've managed to get the fan speed down to a reasonable, less audible level by using that old VRAM terminal command to enable me to keep the internal display disabled whilst the lid is open. I've had to shift quite a lot round on my desk to make this happen, but I guess it was the only way. It now runs 3 screens under similar loads at approximately 3500prm.
Taking your advice into consideration, I raised the rear feet and this enabled further decrease in fan speed. I guess one of those laptop stands will augment this effect, and I will look into them.
Anyway, thank you for your help!
Thanks,
Richard

Macbook pro retina 15" heat issues!

Hello,
So i'm currently using a Macbook pro retina 15", the base model with two graphic cards, late 2013, and while running a game like Elder Scroll Online on my mac, it heats up a lot, i want to know if it's a normal thing to happen and won't damage my mac, or i should stop playing it to prevent any further damage?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a "mac" thing?
I don't know, really, because I know that when I'm using Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro, it heats up as well - that's just what Flash does. Hopefully, with the coming of HTML video (which you can test on YouTube - although not all videos will play correctly) the need for Flash will slowly be eliminated.
But what you describe is 'normal' for Macs, I know - I haven't had a dedicated PC in - oh, since 1985, anyway!

Macbook Pro issues - can anyone tell if 'normal' or faults

I have some issues with my new 15" 2.66 unibody (non-removable batery) MBP. I'm told by the retailer that they are all normal/common - i'd like see if this is actually the case or they fobbing me off.
1.) Something 'lose' inside the case around hard drive area - ie if i move the mac around (vertically is worst - ie imagine holding it with two hands with hinge sitting downwards, closed) i can hear something fairly hefty clunking back and forth against the inside of the shell (hard drive moving about?)
2.) When i opn the lid for the first time after a period of the mac being closed, i get a reasonable creak/crack from the left side of the screen hinge.
3.) When i run the battery down and it goes to sleep 'to preserve the contents of memory' it doesn't take long at all before battery so low it goes into deep sleep (ie state where all RAM contents are written to disk - and then takes a min or so to come to life again when you open the lid - my old macbook pro could last a good few hours in sleep mode before dying completely and deep sleeping
I'd really like to know if anyone has noticed similar issues with their machines - or if indeed these are isolated issues to a few, aka faults.
Thanks in advance

The sudden motion sensor may make the appearance of something bouncing in there as it may activate while the drive is being moved around suddenly. However, if this does not appear to be the case, I'd ask an authorized service center.
2.) When i opn the lid for the first time after a period of the mac being closed, i get a reasonable creak/crack from the left side of the screen hinge.
Is the opening range different from other ones in the store?

The battery may need calibration at first:

If it is calibrated, and you aren't getting the life expected by that link for rudimentary usage, have the power manager looked at.
