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.

  • Can i upgrade the flash storage of my 15inch mac book pro retina?

    I have a 2014 15' Mac Book Pro Retina, and its storage capacity is 251 GB Flash Storage, I in architecture school so i run parallel and some other software to get my work done. I was wondering if it was possible to install or have apple install a bigger storage unit to that i can get that extra space i need for my educational needs.

    Apple does not upgrade internal flash storage of MacBook Pros after purchase. Not many other companies that have them because it is a very specialized part, but the one I know doesn't seem to have one available yet for 2014 MacBook Pros:
    OWC Aura SSD Upgrades
    Of course, it's best to do so after your MacBook Pro warranty is over.

  • I have a mid 2009 13" Mac Book Pro. I want to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4 GB. Can I use 1333 MHZ modules instead of 1067 MHz?

    The manual suggests 1067 MHz modules but my dealer stocks only 1333 MHz modules. Can I use two modules of 2GB 1333 MHz in place of the present two modules of 1GB 1067 MHz.

    I wonder if perhaps the new ram isn't exactly right for the computer?  When you install a 2gb and one of the 4gb and go to Apple-About This Mac does it show up as 2gb or 6gb?  Just thinking perhaps the computer can't read the 4gb cards at all, so as long as one of your old 2gb cards is there to function it doesn't freeze (seems like an odd concept but I've seen it happen in PC years ago, so not sure if it's even possible with current hardware or Mac but it's a thought).
    Also, double-check the sticker on your new Ram to be sure it works with your system (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270) thinking maybe even if you bought the correct package in the store, maybe it contained the wrong product?  You didn't say what screen size you have, but it looks as though they are all the same specs (13, 15, and 17-inch MBP mid-2010):
    - Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3) format
    -30mm (1.18 inch)
    - 2 GB or 4 GB
    - 204-pin
    - PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM
    I did a quick search and found this thread, same issue, so perhaps it may contain some clues as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3797144?start=0&tstart=0  I noticed someone mentioned the brand or source of the purchased ram; I have personally had issues with third party or "other than what the manufacturer recommends" brands of memory over the years.  I bought mine from Amazon.com but made sure it was Crucial brand, which I've always had high success with.

  • Will Blender run on a 15inch Mac Book Pro

    I want to know if Blender would work to it's fullest compacity on this computer, also if it doesnt what should I get for Blender to run smoothly.
    I am talking about the Open Source 3d Software.
    This MacBook Pro is the 2011 model

    Thanks

    With the discreet AMD graphics you have Blender should work work very well on your MBP.
    The Blender website mentions only the integrated Intel graphics to be problematic with the used OpenGL.

  • How can I buy black rubber feet for my mac book pro mid 2009

    MY 2009 Mid Mac Book Pro bottom pad came off.  Very very poor design.  These should last forever.  I noticed that this was a design or product failure.  Thus I need the part number to order them.  Cant seem to get any assistance.

    I have located the pads on Ebay.  I biggest issue is the design for removal and install.  Yes nothing last forever!! If you look at the message boards they are failing on new product also.  Poor design any way you look at it!!

  • How do I get my Mac Book Pro to

    I purchased my Mac Book Pro just over 3 years ago and it has never had any problems at all before. I came to turn it on as usual, but when I pressed the power button nothing happened on screen. I thought maybe the battery had run low for some reason/ I'd left it on by accident, so thinking nothing of it I just plugged it in and left it to charge for 3 hours or so whilst I was out. Pressed on button again and again nothing. Thought maybe my battery pack wasn't functioning but then noticed that the tiny white light at the front showing, but not pulsing as it would normally?! No apple light at the back or lights behind the keys. Slight fan noise if you hold it close to your ear, but nothing louder than usual when at standby, ie. no loading/whurring noise audible. Force shutdown by holding on the power button and then holding to switch on to try to reboot it, but this has the same effect, have tried using the shift button (as in the support section) on start up but again nothing at all on screen. I have all my original apple CDs, but unfortunately my Apple Cover has now run out and not all my work is backed up so I would like to avoid wiping the files if possible. If anyone has had a similar problem and knows how to fix it please can you guide me? I am not very good with computers so apologies in advance, Thank-you

    Portables that will not Power on.
    Try another power outlet.

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Audio over HFMI on a 2009 Mac Book Pro - which cable?

    Got a Mac Book Pro (2009), want to connect to my Panasonic tx l32d25b with tech link wires - visual works but no audio - does anybody how to make the audio work? Rich

    You'll need an adapter that combines video from the mini-Displayport and audio from the headphone port or a USB port into a single HDMI cable. Here are two:
    http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt51.html
    http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt20.html
    The first carries 5.1-channel surround sound from the headphone port; the second carries ordinary 2-channel stereo from a USB port.

  • My 2009 mac book pro is full

    My 2009 mac book pro is full and i think it is because of the videos and pictures i have. I also have a 1TB airport wireless router that the "time machine" runs on. is there any way i can copy over older videos and pictures from my computer to the router so i free up memory on my computer? Also, what's the best way to delete videos and pictures from imovie and iphoto - through finder or through the application itself. I thought this would have been easier but it's not.

    Here's freeing up disk space.

  • Whats does mac book pro apple care exactly over? everthing but lost or stolen?

    mac book pro apple care exactly over? everthing but lost or stolen?

    It's hardware coverage of factory defects to three years from the date of purchase of the machine + phone support.
    You can buy it within the one year standard warranty, but it's still only three years max.
    Doesn't cover software issues, data recovery, user damage, accidents or thefts.  OS X may be reinstalled in the repair process but really doesn't count as fixing software issues.
    It's sort of mandatory, as eventually one will upgrade OS X and a firmware update can brick a logicboard by exposing unknown flaws or drivers for video cards causing issues.
    Never upgrade OS X without AppleCare in place as Apple has multiple points of potential failure on the logicboard, the parts are not more seperated like on PC's and thus cheaper to fix.
    A new logicboard out of applecare is prohibitive, you'll be better off buying a new machine.

  • Hi I have a new mac book pro. I am swopping over from an imac. An authorizethis computer message has come up for an old itunes account. I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way to find out or transfer to my new account?

    Hi I have a new mac book pro. I am swopping over from an imac. An authorize this computer message has come up for an old itunes account. I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way to find out or transfer to my new account?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable when Bluetooth is turned on in my iPad Air.  How can I block her device?  How can I prevent her pairing with my iPad Air. I need Bluetooth on to play music over my system.

    My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable in my Bluetooth list on my iPad Air.  How can I block her Bluetooth device? How can I prevent her pairing with my device?  I need Bluetooth to stream music on my Bose system.  Thanks!

    If your device is discoverable, the other BT device would try (I am not sure if that would be successful). If it was, it would appear in your system preferences>Bluetooth.
    Take a look at this re: security:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10786
    This is from another Apple article:
    Use Bluetooth
    You can wirelessly transfer files between computers—even Mac to PC—using the Bluetooth File Exchange utility. You can even browse selected devices and retrieve files remotely. For extra security, you can stipulate that only trusted devices be allowed to connect to your Mac, and 128-bit over-the-air encryption is also available
    Barry
    P.S. Since I have not had the issue, I have not researched this before. Thank you for making me look into BT security
