My MacBook Air is boiling within 3 minutes of run

Hi,
I bought my MacBook Air around end of 2010.
And recently I started experiencing overheating within 10 minutes of run by using common softwares and web browsing.
Actually sometimes I've Chrome or Firefox with over 200 tabs (with flash blocker) or compiling something in the meantime, but this is how I using a Mac in a standard way (I'm a software developer).
Now I've change my place from UK to the Switzerland, where is much hotter (30 degress), but I don't this is the case.
In following screenshot you can see the temperature from Temperature Monitor at 18.43.56 (I just turn it on and run ) and 3 minutes later at 18.46.31.
The only process was installing some software which includes some compiling, but even that it should be not so critical (90 degrees for CPU?).
P.S. I know how to use Activity Monitor and Terminal to kill the processes which I don't use, so I monitor it constantly.
I started to use ice bag (from the freezer), which helps until I'll decide to some cooling pad, but I never need that.
So my question is, what's wrong?
I was reading about SMC reset here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
but I don't believe it'll help.
I've experienced yesterday two OSX crashes, at least one per week is a standard, I think it's because of overheating.
Here is another stats from my previous session (it's normal?):
before desparately I decided to put my laptop to the fridge after the OSX crash, so I could work afterwards for the next half an hour (I know that's the bad approach, sorry).
I read already thousands of similar problem on the internet, so I assuming I'm not only the one.
Thanks for any advises.
Environment:
My kernel:
Darwin kenorbs-MacBook-Air.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
I've started using ceramic kitchen table for my table, it kind of works only when I don't do nothing on my laptop, so not really helps.
Summary:
Any ideas apart of reinstalling everything from scratch? It's time to buy a new MacBook?
Is there any advanced software or command that will give more information about the following problems?

Now it's not so extremely hot, but it's very slow, almost as Pentium 200. Even now I'm typing this post, sometimes I've to wait 0,5-1sec to see the letters appearing. When I was opening this page, I've seen some widgets were rendering. Some of the pages loading endless. When typing some commands, I've to wait few seconds until they'll terminate using Control-C. When I change the application using CMD-Tab, I've to wait 1-2 seconds untill I could use it, it appears, mouse moving, but I can't click anything (probably swap). When I'm scrolling, it's freezing every few seconds. My load average is around 2-3. Basically I can't work on my laptop anymore. I've it on cold flat surface with power supply connected. Every day or few days I'm sending to you crashes.
My system is up-to-date. I don't want Lion for now, until my laptop will work, I heard it's even slower and worse (as even the post above as example).
Here are some Terminal logs:

What's happening if my Macbook Air beeps about once every minute?

I just upgraded my Macbook Air to OSX 10.8.1 the other day. Besides that, I diddn't install any new applications. Today, my macbook beeps about once every minute even when I muted it. What is going on?

ok, it turns out that this is just a mistake. the beeping noise doesn't actually come from my laptop... sorry about this. Please disregard the question. I love my mac, and Apple is amazing.

MacBook Air Hard Drive too small - can I run applications from an external drive or is there a better solution?

I just got a MacBook Air 11" 10.7.2 2GB/64GB. I love it, but the internal drive is sooo small. Occasionally I need to take projects home from work or travel with my computer. Is there any way to run apps (Final Cut Studio, CS5, Office 10, etc) from an external drive? I am trying to convert over from my Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and I can't seem to find a solution.
Thanks for your time!
Samantha

Samantha,
It's best to keep your applications on the internal drive and consider external storeage for your data.
Your choices are direct attached storeage to the USB port (external portable USB drives), storeage on your home or work network, or cloud-based storeage, like DropBox.
You can also look at slimming down your OSX installation on your MBA by removing unwanted fonts and printer drivers.
Btw, you will struggle to run CS5 and Final Cut Studio on a MBA with 2GB RAM. Only install the applications you really need on your MBA.
Can I ask which model MacBook Pro you are migrating from?

Looking at MacBook Air. Will I be able to run InDesign and other CC apps?

I've had a MacBook Pro in the past, but stopped using it several years ago when it developed a charging issue that even the geniuses couldn't figure out. Needing to have it plugged in 100% of the time kinda defeated the purpose, so the kids took it over and I've been only working on my desktop since then.
I'm looking to get a laptop again as a backup computer, and I need to know whether it is reasonable to consider a MacBook Air for my needs. I work with InDesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator on a daily basis. I like the price tag of the MacBook Air, longer battery life, and light weight. I was going to upgrade to 8MB RAM… but does anyone have experience running these apps on a MacBook Air? Will it be an exercise in futility?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I use all of those app on my 2012 model and everything is fine with an i5 with 8GB. Not screaming fast, mind you, but for everyday task it’s fine.
Note that this is not my primary machine.

I have a Macbook Air (11-inch Mid 2012) that is running OS X Yosemite. Every time that I shut down the computer, then turn it back on I receive a notification as it logs in that says "You shut down your computer because of a problem".

I can't find out what that problem is. Any advice? Any ideas even as to what it might be? I haven't heard about this happening elsewhere.

My Macbook Pro shuts off within 5 minutes when just using the battery..why?

The problem started a while ago, but I never much payed attention to it because I kept the laptop on my desk and connected to the wall. But it started around a year and half ago, when I disconnect my computer from the power source, it might last a little over an hour, depending on what I am doing. Now, if I unplug it it may last 5 minutes if I am lucky. I heard something about a battery recall, or something to that tune, but have no idea. I am a novice when it comes to battery's or whatever. Please help all you can. This problem is very annoying, because as a college student, it is nice to be able to take your laptop with you to class and not worry about 5 minutes later it just dies. Ill be more than happy to answer questions about how I use the laptop, etc. I have also listed some information below to help. Thank you for your help.

Your battery is showing pretty low capacity considering the cycle count, have you been re-calibrating it every couple of months as you should ?
Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery properly then see how it behaves.

Macbook air 11" blacks out takes minutes to start back up again.

I have had this problem on and off since last November. First started when I using a LCD projector and I thought that was the issue. Last time it did it was last night...did it a number of times in succession. Now I am flipped out because this the my travel laptop. I will be working on ti, it blacks out and shuts down. Sometimes it stays down for a minute other time it stays that way for longer.
Is someone else having this problem?

HI..
Try a Safe Mode boot.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe mode, click Restart from the Apple  drop down menu.
Then monitor to see if the Mac blacks out again.

When I connect my Macbook Air to the thunderbolt display the fans run constantly

I dont understand.... but the fans seem to run at full speed the entire time I'm connected to the the thunderbolt display.
My cpu usage is blow 10% and and the cpu temp from istat is showng as 72
I understand the fans kicking in once in a while but these run for hours and hours at full speed (6496 rpm)
Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same issue. I've had the MBA for a couple months now and haven't had the fan kick up hardly at all. A few minutes after it's connnected to my new T'bolt display though it kicks in and stays on. I've updated firmware once but there may be others and it hasn't helped.
Mine is in the closed position in a Book Arc and I've only got Chrome open for browsing so far.

MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.4 printer compatibility?

Will my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.4 run an HP 3520 printer? If not, what printers are especially good for that laptop?

On first read of your post, I think you could have one of three causes.
The first is that often an LPD queue requires a specific queue name. If you were to check the port setting on one of the Windows clients, you would see what the queue name is; although I would expect that the PC's will be using "RAW Port 9100" instead of LPR. If they are using Port 9100 then you can use the same protocol on the Mac. Via Print & Fax, select to add another print queue but this time select IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket, which is Apple's name for Port 9100.
If using HP Jetdirect still causes the same error then it could be some form of job management enabled in the copier. Many colour devices often have the ability to control access to the printing or copying via an iD and password. If such a setting exists on the C3000 and it is enabled then you may need to check the menus within the C3000 Mac driver for a field where you can enter an ID and password.
If no job management is enabled then the last suggestion would be the supported printer language. For some office copiers, Postscript is now an option rather than a standard inclusion. If the driver you downloaded is Postscript but the copier does not support this printer language, then this will result in the job vanishing and possibly that error code you mention, which may be along the lines of incorrect printer description language (PDL). Again you could check one of the Windows to see what printer driver they are using. If it is PCL then this may confirm this thought. But to be sure, I suggest you get a configuration page from the copier. This should show what printer languages it supports. If there is no Postscript support, then you would need to look at using the pxlmono package, which supports colour printing. Note that the built-in Generic PCL Laser driver in Lion only supports b&w printing.

Carry cases for the 11" MacBook Air and new 12" MacBook IN-STORE

i came in-store today to look at the new MacBooks (which the store did not have) so I started to ask questions about what accessories the store was going to be stocking for it. They didn't have any of the new USB-C accessories either and when I asked about cases, the employee became noticeably uncomfortable. Come to find out, it's because the stores don't really carry ANY cases for the smaller MacBooks in-store except a Thule bumper case. The employee began showing me Surface and Chromebook cases and a lot of them didn't look all that great. Interesting enough, I jumped online tonight, navigated over to BestBuy.com > Computers > Laptops > All Laptops and sorted them by "Best Selling." The 11.6" MacBook Air came up within the top 45 results and the other 11.6" MacBook model, the top 60 results. So you have two 11" Apple MacBook Pros that, by your own admission, BOTH rank within the top 60 in regards to sales and you carry a whopping 1 case that is actually for them. I point that out because while you can use a Surface Case for an Air, most don't have pockets to accommodate a MagSafe adapter, for example, because the charger for the Surface is much smaller. You're now (with the new MacBooks) adding TWELVE new sub 13-inch laptops to your inventory which would officially mean you have 14 notebooks with a screen smaller than 13" inches, 6 notebooks with a screen 13" inches and 2 notebooks with a 15" screen. 90% of your in-store case inventory are for 13" MacBooks, 9% are for 15" and 1% (being very modest here) are for the 11.6." Now, I was not a math major, but I was a marketing and management minor and I can tell you that I see a huge problem with this picture that is begging to be solved. This problem only becomes more compounded when you consider that May-September, laptops take center stage in electronics/office stores for sales as students began to shop for laptops for back-to-school.

Here are a few nice-looking 11" and 12" sleeves that I found online that I believe would be an asset to your inventory. The Decoded MacBook Air Slim Cover - $99.99 MSRPBlack Python MacBook Leather Cover - $149.99 MSRPHampshire Laptop Sleeve - $72 MSRP I saved the best for last:MacBook Laptop SleeveCase - $45 to $75 MSRPThere's a pouch that attaches to the sleeve. At first glance it looks like part of the "case" but it's actually an add-on that converts a basic sleeve into a case with extra room for accessories (see below for sleeve without this pouch).Available trims for this sleeve/case.Sleeve with flap and without the shoulder strap or pouch add-on.

My macbook air doesn't respond after it sleeps automatically?

Basically, I set my macbook air to autosleep after one minute, but after autosleeping, I tried touching the trackpad and pressed the shut down button and nearly every button to open it but nothing worked. I ended up having to switch it off and restart it. Is there something wrong? :/

There's also a Facebook group which puts this issue in a more open public forum.
As stated quite a few times in the various forum discussions, Apple do not pay attention to what's going on here, so come and join us on Facebook as they can't ignore that :-)

ITunes 11.3 spawns Distnoted daemon which uses all processing power on MacBook Air

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.3 on my work MacBook Air (11 inch, Mid-2013), whenever I run the programme it spawns multiple Distnoted daemons which run up to 250% or more of processing power. I'm assuming this includes multiple threads, given the size of the number.
As a result of this, the computer gets very hot, and therefore I can't actually use iTunes for more than about 15 minutes - quitting iTunes solves the issue, though it normally takes the MacBook a good long time to cool down.
This is, I note, an issue which has occurred before in Windows versions of iTunes, but I couldn't find any Mac-related issues on the discussions forum, so I wonder if it's a bug in 11.3 or the current version of Distnoted? Either way, it's pretty intolerable.

I can't tell much from that. In general, a runaway distnoted process correlates with a failing storage device, but there could be other reasons for it that I don't know about. You might be able to find out more by following the instructions below, but only do so if you feel comfortable with them.
Back up all data.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo touch /var/log/do_dnserver_log; sudo chmod a+rw $_
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
After the next episode, open the log do_dnserver_log in Console and post the last couple of dozen lines, if any.
After that, you should delete the log file by dragging it to the Trash in the Finder. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.

Apple TV 2 choppy video playback when mirroring from Macbook Pro (Yosemite) and Macbook Air (Yosemite) but not iOS devices

Video playback is choppy (cuts out every 30-45 seconds) when air playing from both my MacBook Air 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Yosemite and my husbands new MacBook Pro, but runs perfectly when mirroring from any of our iOS devices (iPhone 6+, iPad mini 3, etc.) We have Apple TV 2. This problem just started a few weeks ago, was working fine around Christmas. The problem seems to have coincidentally started right after our son tried plugging in and setting up his Chromecast on our tv. I disconnected the Chromecast, but we still have the problem. All of our software if up to date and I've tried disconnecting blue tooth, we do not have a microwave and our wifi network has a very strong signal. We have an Airport Extreme base station. Is there a solution to our problem?

Hi leahmturner,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with choppiness while AirPlay Mirroring from your computers to your Apple TV. I have an article that contains some helpful troubleshooting steps for you regarding this issue:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343
Optimizing image quality
Resolution matching modes
You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
Minimize video post-processing
HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
Firewall security settings
If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
Click Firewall Options.
Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.

Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
