MacBook Pro Overheat, foriegn country, need help

I have a MacBook Pro 15" the generation before the uni-body, with black keys. Right now I am in Brazil. And I have noticed that my Mac is overheating. There are a lot of factors that could be causing the problem and I do not know any ways of fixing it. SO I need help.
First of all I am in Belo Horizante, and the temp outside is about in the 80's (F), I have a incase case on my MacBook. I am also charging my Mac through a foreign outlet that has a 220V output. I do have a travel surge protector that my charger runs through.
I have iStat and my temps. are in the range of 97 degrees (Enclosure base) to 128 degrees (GPU diode). I downloaded smcFan Control and turned my fans up to 4000 RPM.
My hypothesis is that the incase is causing some more than normal heat ( I just got it specifically for the trip), or that my Mac needs some cleaning of the fans and overall.
So any advice on keeping my mac cooler?

Given what you've reported there doesn't seem to be any reason to mess with the fans. They increase their speed automatically when needed.
I would return the idle speed back to the 2000 RPM default in SMC FanControl, then uninstall SMC FanControl because it isn't really needed.

IMac or Macbook Pro Can not Decide Need Help

The iMac or Mac Pro I can't decide which is the best one to get and I need to get a
good answer before next Thursday. The 24" iMac with extreme Intel processor or Macbook Pro 17" with 2.6 Intel Processor. I'm into Graphic Design in the winter months and want something that doesn't crash when I'm designing websites with dreamweaver. I need to know from you professionals which is better. Also this will be my first MAC. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Newbie,
It really comes down to your desire for a fast Desktop, or a fast portable. Only you can decide whether or not you want to "go portable." Either one would suite your professional needs, and do so extremely well. And Macs simply don't just "crash" (not if they are working as they should). My well-over-1-year-old 17" Macbook Pro has never been shut down, and I rarely restart it. No crashes, no problems. I have seen my wife's 3-year-old iBook with an "uptime" of over 160 days (that's almost 6 months with no shutdown or restart!!!). Also no crashes, no problems.
The 24" iMac is simply... stunning. And, with the 2.8 Gig Core2Duo Extreme, it should really rock speed-wise. But, it would remain in one place. The benefits of the iMacs are (obviously) the larger displays, larger hard drive capacities, and sometimes better performance (as in the case of the 24" w/ Core2Duo Extreme).
On the other hand, there's a lot to be said about being portable. "Going portable" is potentially a complete paradigm shift, as far as how one works. My Macbook Pro goes with me almost all of the time, and I can use it for work or play at a moment's notice. I have a really nice dual-display setup at home, which has (sadly) never been used since I moved to a portable; I simply can't be bothered being tied to a single location to use a computer anymore.
In the end, the decision is yours. Either way, you'll be happy.

Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.

I Upgraded my MBP (2012), from Mavericks to Yosemite and it slowed my computer down to the point where it became unusable. I repaired the permissions, and even reinstalled Yosemite but it didn't help. My MBP is crawling and I'm hoping someone can walk me through a solution. Need help.
SIgned,
YoseMighty Slow

Problem description:
MacBook Pro (mid 2012) is running super slow since I upgraded to Yosemite. Used CleanMyMac2 and freed up 22G. Verified and repaired disk permissions. Re-installed Yosemite and still, it is running dead slow. Windows take between 45-60 seconds to open, files are slow to appear…generally just slow and unresponsive.

MacBook Pro wont stop rebooting, need help please

Ok so my story is that I bought a used 2008-2009 MacBook Pro. It was running mountain lion, I tried to restore it to factory settings to undo the "open to all access" option. Since I didn't have the mountain DVD at that time I restarted it and did the command-r. Now however, it will not stop rebooting, it'll chime and reach the grey screen apple logo with the little wheel but then restart and again, reach the same screen then restart again, and again etc etc. Now since I am completely new to Mac, I had no idea about time capsule, so and can't use that either. I have tried repeatedly to use the command-r action but it won't work. It just doesn't wanna boot up from the HD. I am think of either acquiring the leopard DVD, or taking it to a tech and probably waste even more money. Is there anything else I can do, any suggestion will be appreciated.

Take it to the nearest Apple Store. They can help, and there is no charge if you don't need to replace hardware (which you shouldn't).

Apple macbook pro charger for MD314LLA, need help

Guys,
I both apple macbook pro last year( model MD314LL\A( 13.3 inch. My charger stop working and I am looking to purchase new one. While searching I am confused which one I have to buy. Need help from you community to please suggest me which one is best and compitable for my laptop.
I see below 2 model in AMAZON. pls let me know which one is compitable for my laptop.

I personally would not purchase either charger. I have seen many posts on this forum complaining about 'inexpensive' chargers and batteries for Apple MBPs. To purchase these 'knockoff' counterfeits is tantamount to throwing your money away. They may be 'refurbished' by a third party (something Apple does not do with chargers) but that would indicate that they failed before. Or they may be cheap imitations built to questionable standards.
You have spent a lot of money on your MBP, do not let it suffer a malfunction just to save $50. You may find that repairs might cost a lot more than that. Buy a real one from Apple as Ralph suggests.
Ciao.

Macbook pro retina airplay disappearing, need help

I just bought a macbook pro retina and an apple tv. So, this all week i was doing some search and reading forums but i`ve never seen anybody have this problem yet. I can use my apple tv with my Ipad and Iphone perfectly, but my macbook pro refuses to work. My airplay sign in the right-top side of the screen is keep disappearing and i can`t see my apple tv there. They are both connected to same Wi-Fi and i restarted both, I reset all my settings on both, vs.. Nothing changed so far. My macbook pro and apple tv is up-to-date too. So is there anybody can help me ?

My macbook pro not charging I need help

Hi my macbook pro fell of the bed, its still working fine but I tried to save but unfortunately the charger itself got damaged an the part to plug it in its not charging anymore. the charge got stuck in it and it got a little dent what do I do?

Unfortunatly you'll have to take it to Apple and have it repaired. Can't really make sense of your post, but I'm guessing that either the charger or the the charging port will need to be replaced. Possibly both.

My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

Is it safe to keep downloaded movies in the Macbook Pro or do I need to use an external hard disk for those ? Please suggest.

Is it safe to store the downloaded movies from iTunes in my Macbook Pro or do I need to store those separately in an external hard disk ? Please advice.

It will be no better or worse than any other video file and should not be responsible for any system instability. As I alluded to earlier, video takes up a lot of space and you can quickly use up that 200 GB of space. Download a few files to you MBP and see what impact it has. I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes.
If you find that space is getting tight on your MBP, then get an external for the video files and another one to back them up. I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes.
Ciao.

Hi sdennisonta,

This is it. Programming was done by idiots. People at schools IT department 20 or so full time positions know less then kids at Best Buy GeekSquad minimum wage part time, don't know or even want to call to find out. They just sit there and ask if the antivirus is upto date, I cant install your software that check the antivirus, "ITS NOT THE ANTIVIRUS". Three weeks and as always I have to find the fix myself. My god, why do I work for my money when I can just sit and collect it. Sorry for the rant.
This fix works and needs to be loaded on the campus network.
