My mac os x 10.6 gets very hot which results to a jam sometimes.

It gets so hot when i charge it, and my battery condition is: replace soon, so is that the case and would it be solved if a get a new battery?
Thank you.

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

My macpro gets very hot on the underside upper left is it the fan and how do I test it

My Mac pro has started to get very hot when I am using on my knee. It gets hot on the upper left and only when I am viewing a film. Seems ok when writting docs etc.

Also try an SMC reset

I am using a white 13inch 2009/10 macbook, purchased in the US. Am currently using it in the Philippines, where it is 220v. I know my adapter says it works from 100-240v, but is it okay to use longterm? I think my mac gets very hot now? thanks

All Apple power supplies work world-wide with the proper plug adapter.
I have my MacBook plugged into the grid all the time, 24 hours a day w/o any problems.

my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal

Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

Yes. However if you posted actual temps (download iStat Pro) that might help to give you some acurate information.

When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which MBP model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
***This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.***

Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

The bottom of the computer gets very hot

I just got this macbook pro MC721ll/a. The bottom of the computer gets very hot as it is sitting on my lap. I have never had a mac before but I don't think it should be doing that. Also, I don't hear any fans running. Is this normal?

The OS keeps the fans at a minimal speed because running them any faster would needlessly use extra energy and make more noise. Manually setting your fan speed won't wear out the fans because they're brushless AC fans (so they're not subject to any significant mechanical wear as they spin). One thing to keep in mind about SMC FanControl: Apple engineers spent a great deal of time, and probably money as well, designing the cooling systems for the computer (both in terms of the physical systems, and the algorithms that control the fans and regulate the voltages of the components). In addition, Intel CPUs have their own separate temperature monitoring systems which will severely throttle or even shut down the CPU if temperatures get dangerously high. So even in the extremely unlikely event that your fans ever actually spin too slowly, the computer will still shut itself off before anything bad happens.
And to answer your first question, it is definitely normal for the bottom of the Macbook to get hot because the body is made from aluminum, one of the best thermal conductors known. Basically the bottom acts as a heat sink, allowing the Macbook to cool off more efficiently and run faster. Most other manufacturers make the bodies of their laptops from plastics, which conduct heat about as well as fiberglass insulation or a mink coat.

If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.

Macbook Pro case getting VERY hot!

This is my first Mac, but not my first laptop. Using it for 5 days, the temperature reads out at 85 degrees F. Currently, I am only running iDVD, Firefox, and Microsoft Messenger. The temperature jumped as high as 91 degrees at one point.
While doing simple tasks such as Messenger, and web browsing in firefox, it reads at 79 degrees F. IS this normal for a Mac? I hear that Macs get very hot, that hot? Should I be returning it because it has a problem?

"I hear that Macs get very hot, that hot? Should I be returning it because it has a problem?"
From whom did you hear this? During the past day or so, you have asked some very fundamental questions, and I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the computer's operation. There's a wealth of information available on Apple's website, and it behooves you to check it out.
Rather than worry about the temperature of individual components, you should spend your time enjoying - not worrying about - your computer. Your computer is operating normally. You should use the computer on a hard, flat surface, and be sure that the rear vent slot is unobstructed.

My MacBook Pro with Retina display is getting very hot, is this normal?

I recently downloaded Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Minecraft on my Mac, and after about a minute of playing one of these games, my Mac would get very hot right above the keyboard. The fans get very loud and it seems a bit unusual, Is this damaging my Macbook pro?

Use it and keep it on when it gets very hot take it to your local Apple Store you might be successful and receive a new one, because the unit has to have some type of defect. Take your receipt if you still have it.

09 Unibody getting very hot since 10.6.4 update

Hi.
I've recently updated my macbook (late 09 unibody) to 10.6.4, no problems working fine. However I've been noticing recently that the macbook has been getting very hot since the update. It's been reaching temperatures of 94C recently. It's never got that hot before and I'm not doing anything different either. It's been noticeably hotter whether it's been on the desk, on the laptop dock or on my lap.
Has anyone else experienced this?
-Matt

These fixes worked for me:
I downloaded and reapplied the combo updater.
I booted to safe mode, twice, and then went back to normal, and that combination has my macbook temp back down to normal levels. I also did some work on my iphone, definitely itunes was heating it up somehow.

MacBook not going to sleep and getting very hot

I just purchased a MacBook and have been using it for a few days. I have noticed that it does not appear to go to sleep correctly and gets very hot in the process. I finished working on my MB about 45 minutes ago. At the time it was connected to the mains and I disconnected to catch my next train. I shut the lid and after a few minutes the sleep indicator light at the front dimmed once then stayed on permanently. I could not hear the drive spinning (though the drive is quiet on this machine and there was a lot of background noise) and assumed all was OK. Anyhow, I have just taken the MB out of its case some 45 minutes later and it felt extremely hot (almost too hot to touch, I would guess around 50ºC). The sleep indicator light on the front was solid white. I opened the lid and the machine woke up. Something not right here....Also power remaining was down to 72% so something has been using up a lot of energy and heating up the aluminium!
Tony
ps. Whilst writing this email the MB has cooled down considerably but still warm.
ps2. Probably not related, but I have firmware password protection enabled
null

I did see some of the other posts, but nothing about the MB getting so hot.
I tried sleep from the menu and this seems to work (though I have rebooted the machine since the above report).
What worries me is the potential fire risk/damage to the MB, the case was extremely hot.

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.
