Macbook pro retina is really hot and fans were very loud
I have a 15 inch retina display btw.
I was on safari reading an article and had itunes music playing in the background and my fans suddenly became increasingly loud (has never happened before).
Loud enough that I could hear it above the music. If it helps my Macbook is currently charging as well. The charger itself is pretty hot as well.
Here are my temperatures, I'm not sure whats normal and what is out of the ordinary.
Thanks
Are these ºF or ºC? If the former they would seem OK. If the latter shut down the computer ASAP.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

I recentely installed windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 15' late 2008 maybe 10-15 minutes into browsing the internet or watching a youtube video it gets really hot and the computer fans seem to be making a lot of noise. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

never heard of perian. its a quicktime player? would this help?
Give Allan's advice a try. I'm curious to see how that works for you.
4GB RAM could be part of the issue. Open Activity Monitor, select System Memory and see what it says for Page ins, Page outs, and Swap used.
Perian isn't a necessity, but those three together usually cover all the different formats you might encounter. -
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.

My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help
my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help
Hi..
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
And disabling the resume feature can help.

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.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.
Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you. -
Hi there,
I would be grateful if any one could help me. I purchased my MacBook Pro 13 Inch in August 2011, it was the "Early 2011" version, which was shipped with Lion (I have now upgraded it to Mountain Lion last year).
Up until a few weeks ago, it was running fine. But recently my MacBook keeps freezing (A circular rainbow appears on the cursor), slowing down, the fan gets very loud and I often have to restart the whole machine. This usually happens when I'm running programs such as Safari, Preview or Microsoft Word
I only use my MacBook for university work so I only have Microsoft Office and iWork installed, nothing else. I've only used 19gb out of the 320gb available. I've also reseted my MacBook to its factory settings but that hasn't fixed the problem.
I've checked my AppleCare status and it says:
Repairs and Service Coverage: Active
Your product is covered for eligible hardware repairs and service under a custom agreement.
For more information about your coverage, please contact us.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to how I can resolve these problems, as it is stopping me from doing my work?
Many thanks.Call Apple and make a appointment, backup your use data off the machine to a external drive.
Don't bother with TimeMachine if it asks, too long and likley be corrupted and unable to restore, just drag and drop your Users folder to the external drive.

Macbook Pro 2011 getting really hot?
I have an early 2011 macbook pro 15" monitor. Lately, I haven't been able to even touch the bottom of my laptop because of how hot it gets. Here's the temperatures and fan: Right now, it's cool enough to pick up, but about twenty minutes ago the computer got really hot and the fans didn't sound like they were on very high (this was before I downloaded the widget to see the actual values). I was also only using Chrome, no other apps. I started to notice this when I started using facetime: the fans suddenly didn't spin like crazy when the temperature rose. Is there any fix/tip/help for this? I will try and update once I get the higher temperature to appear again.
Hi t,
You can try an app such as SMC Fan Control which will allow you to set the fans to the speed of your preference. -
Macbook pro retina gets extremely hot!
Hey guys,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina with all the settings on max (see below). I like to play games like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft howvere when I open these up my macbook starts going crazy! The fans all turn on and the CPU get extremely hot! I mean like 92°C hot! I opened up activity monitor and found out that when running World of Warcraft it used 140-160% of the CPU (which of course in impossible!!).
Thanks in advance for any advise!

Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina:
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
Please comment with any further questions and I will try to get you any information!A few things:
1. All macbook pros get hot (retina and non-retina). Folks here will tell you that the system will slow down (or in extreme cases shutdown) to protect the hardware. I find this concerning but it is what it is...
2. Games can use multiple cores which is why you are seeing > 100%
3. 92 celcius is hot but within the operating parameters from what I have seen
4. Some folks use stands (anything from purchased stands to pencils) to lift the computer off of the underlying surface to allow for improved circulation.
Hope this helps.

Macbook pro retina 15 won't sleep, fan runs hard
Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15" will not sleep when I close the cover. When I return to it, the fan is running full blast. This has happened every so often ever since it was new and is now happening again. All apps are closed.
Try an SMC reset. Follow the method "for a battery you should not remove yourself."

Macbook Pro Retina Magsafe extremely hot?
Hi, ive owned the macbook pro retina 15" for around 6 months now and its great, but ive notice from when i first had it that the magsafe adapter gets extremely hot, i mean if i touch it for more than 1 second it burns like mad. Ive also noticed when i have it on the table or if i use it on the couch sometimes that it seems to be seems melting my leather on my couch a little bit, i do mainly have it on the floor but i like to keep it up on the couch so the dogs cant chew it as they had a tendency to chewing. So is it supposed to get extremely hot like that? thanks
Forgot to add, twice now the magsafe has gotten so hot that it turns off? i then have to wait for it to cool down and unplug it for 5-10 mins. This happened within 30 mins of each other.

In October 2013 I was on Vacationin Dubai and bought there Macbook pro retina ME665. I returned to Kyrgystan (home town) and for New Year I was away for a week. When I came back i found that the dispaly of my laptop became white and black, some lines appeared on it. Everybody in my family told me that no one has dropped my laptop or done anything that can cause this problem. there is no any service provider of apple in my country. WIl, the international warranty cover this case? I bought this laptop not from apple store,but in a simple store and I lost reciept.
Put the Serial Number in here...
