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 retina gets very hot and slow

whenever i use my macbook pro retina for an extended amount of time 1-2 hours watching videos online or playing games it gets very hot, starts lagging and gets unresponsive, i can only use it with a fan underneath basically, my old macbook pro had a similar problem, it took like 3 weeks of them checking it to find a problem which took them another couple of weeks to fix, i cannot be without my laptop for any extended period of time. fans inside seem to be working fine, but it still get incredibly hot... please help!!!

Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

Why is my Macbook Pro 2.33 so hot and why are my fans on so high?

So, I'm sitting here with just Safari 3.1.1 open with just this single page, nothing else running on my machine, 3GB of RAM, and activity monitor reports a total 3.5% CPU usage. Why is my Macbook Pro hot like it's really working (not something-is-broken hot, just the temperature I'd expect with Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash all open at the same time) and why are the fans running like a jet engine?
No weird errors in the console, Spotlight isn't indexing, nothing special in the Dashboard, lots of spare space on the HD, permissions repaired, disks have been checked, I turned off icon previewing on the desktop, top doesn't report anything more than Activity Monitor does -- it really seems like my machine is genuinely wheezing at 3.5%. I was just asked if I wouldn't mind working in another room because my machine is so noisy. You heard me right, my Macbook Pro is getting me kicked out of places.
I've put up with the clump of dead pixels, airport connection issues, now-useless DVD burner that an Apple update bricked, and early battery death, but this one is just boggling. If anyone has any advice I'd be grateful.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have iStatPro? You can download it from the Apple site and see what it is that is running so hot. Under the low usage you describe, the fans should be idling silently. And you might be able to tell what is getting so hot.
If Activity Monitor doesn't show anything, then you might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It sounds like something is getting very hot. If there is a hardware problem, then you should get one or more error codes. The Apple Hardware Test is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that came with your Mac--you boot to it by holding down "D". Instructions are on the disc and on the screen.
Also, be sure you have "All Processes" selected on the Activity Monitor. And the boxes at the bottom should be mostly black with very little red or green at 3.5% CPU usage. Given all the symptoms, I am surprised that there is not some process running amok in the background.
Good luck!

Macbook Pro is getting extremely hot and fan seems to be making a lot of noise when running windows 7

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?

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.

MacBook Pro heating up and fans at full speed

MacBook Pro heating up and gets extremely hot and fans constantly at full speed after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 without even launching any applicaiton previously I was on Mavericks, I checked Activity monitor and a process called kexts is always running and have a large percentage of the CPU load I tried reinstalling Yosemite and the same problem happens.
MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011, 2.4 Ghz Intel Dual Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD graphics 3000 512 mb.

Thank you That solved my issue I uninstalled Cisco anytime connect. My console had that kernel running in the background giving the error every second.

HT1338 my macbook pro has been running hot off and on

My macbook pro has been running hot off and on for the last couple of days

Are you running andy anti-virus or "cleaning" software? Both can shorten battery life and run up the temps.
Take a look at this Apple article:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity
Note in Step 3 you need to make a change if running Mavericks. In Mav, Activity Monitor's "Show All Processes" function moved from the application window to the application menubar:
Setting to "All Processes" is the only sure way to catch some suspects. Not noted in the article is this: AM won't tell you much if you run it shortly after a restart. Use your computer as normally as possible for at least a half-day before running the test. Also not clear is that you should be looking for any process that uses more than about 10 percent of the cycles. I've checked a lot of Macs with AM and, assuming you quit any user applications you started (other than AM) nothing should be a percentage larger than a single digit in a healthy Mac.

MacBook Pro Heat in Apple Manual

Appendix B Safety, Use, and Care Information 107
Using Your MacBook Pro
When you’re using your MacBook Pro or charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface.
Do not leave the bottom of your MacBook Pro in contact with your lap or any surface of your body for extended periods. Prolonged contact with your body could cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
The bottom of the MacBook Pro case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised slightly to allow airflow that keeps the unit within normal operating temperatures.
In addition, warm air is vented from the slots in the back of the case.
Warning: Do not place your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material when it is on, as the material can block the airflow vents, in particular the rear vents, and cause the computer to overheat. Never place anything over your keyboard when operating in closed-lid mode. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off which might create excessive heat and drain your battery. Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external parts are in place. Operating the computer when it is open or missing parts can be dangerous and can damage your computer.

Just an observation - I believe people when they say
that some MacBook Pro's run VERY hot. If I had one
that ran as hot as some are saying, I would not see
that reading the manual made much difference to me.
Also it is appearing there may be some reasons why
some are running hotter than others (heat sink
compound issue). Even if the manual clearly states
this it "appears" there is still a heat related
issue. I have a hard time understanding why a few
people can't see the reaasoning behind that. Then
there are some that say that all Macbooks whine even
after so many people have said they have one that
doesn't and have had several people test these, young
and old. My conclusions after reading this posts are
there are some that whine, some that have heat
problems and many that are having neither of these
problems. Why is that SO hard to believe ? And thanks
to the good explanation about our expectations in the
previous post. Very well said.
I believe it's the same with the new airport extreme card. Mine disconnects much more frequently than the other person in my office who has the same configuration macbook purchased at the same time. (And it's not the airport express we're running off of because mine disconnects at home too)

15" Macbook Pro Retina running very hot!

Hi everyone,
I got my Macbook in November 2012.
I've noticed recently when I use applications which use the discrete graphics card (Geforce GT 650M), things like Logic Pro X, VLC Player or playing games like Civilization V, the temperatures reach 95 degrees celsius, according to the smc Fan Control app that I use to monitor temps.
I can lift the laptop off my desk, turn the air conditioning on in my room and point a desk fan at the laptop and temperatures still reach around 88 degrees C - and the laptop is hot enough to be uncomfortable to the touch. Heat is centered around the F6 and F7 buttons.
I know Macbooks are supposed to run hot and the case is designed to disappate heat, but it seems too hot to be safe.
If you guys could either put my mind to rest, or let me know if its worth a trip to the Genius Bar.
I'll probably be going anyway because of a problem with one of the thunderbolt ports (flickering image on external monitor and fails to recognise my audio interface) - so will probably raise the issue then anyway.
Cheers!
Josh

The types of applications that you describe and the temperatures that you report is actually 'normal'. They are all CPU/GPU intensive applications that will stress the MBP processing resources thus creating a lot of heat.
Casual web browsing will result in much lower temperatures, probably in the mid 40°c to perhaps to about 60°c. If not, then you do have a problem.
Ciao.

Does anyones Macbook Pro heat up?

I find that my Macbook Pro heats up and gets hot.
Is this normal?
Does anyone else find theirs does this?
It's not even a year old

It's normal depending on how hard you're working it.
Do a search for "Activity Monitor," launch the application, and monitor the CPU usage.

Macbook Pro Heat Issues

I got my Macbook Pro a few months ago and ever since then the CPU has been getting very hot very quickly, When I loaded up Runescape for the first time it was only using 33% CPU and it was 83 degrees Celcuis. Does anyone think I should get Apple to check out my Macbook Pro?

Your temperature is high, but not inconsistent with current model MBPs. You might find this information useful:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2764570?start=0&tstart=0
1. Download the free SMC fan control application, which allows you to vary the fan and temperature of your laptop.
2. Keep your laptop as cool as possible. Okay, it already looks pretty cool, but I'd avoid computing on your lap (which can double the heat of your MacBook), and be aware of temperature-sensitve activities like burning disks, playing Flash movies, and putting the laptop on surfaces that absorb heat. Your laptop should work fine doing all this, but high temperatures aren't your machine's friend.
3. Passive heat devices like Little Feet allow better airflow under your MBP.
In other words...don't worry, but be aware.

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display crashes

I have a Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display which has recently started to crash.
Only modifications I have doen lately is I swapped the CD/DVD drive for a harddrive and put in 16 GB of ram
but it has been running for more than a month with these hardware additions without problems.
Today my Macbook has started to crash frequently within 10 min to 1 hour after plugging in my thunderbolt display.
I tried to check CPU heat, change RAM but it keps crashing.
When it crashes it either gives me a blue screen, a black screen or a distorts everythings and freeze up.
When rebooting I have to press Command-Option-P-R to clear NVRAM / PRAM.
I found a few support threads from people having similar problems so I started to disconnect the thunderbolt display
and without plugging it in my laptop works fine.
I have done a SMC reset also but that has not resolved my issue.
Below is the crash report and if anybody has any suggestions what to do to resolve this please let me know
My thunderbolt display was purchased in late 2011
If this is not solveable what options do I have ?
Thanks !

The other day I got the blue screen, the fan going on high, and then when I disconnect my thunderbolt connection from my macbook pro - i get a shutdown.
Today I got flickering followed by the fan on high and then again I disconneced my thunderbolt cable and after a minute or two a shudown.
This never happened before. Actually I was suprised to hear about a firmware update for flickering since that's never happened to me but since updating I now get the flicker.
Any ideas?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my work labtop.

The fan in my Macbook Pro heats up

The fan in my Macbook Pro heats up quite fast.
I wanted to know how much it would cost to get it fixed as I don't have Apple care and my warranty has expired?

Buy an external microphone or a headset. Which type depends on what type Mac you have. The 13" model has a single combo jack, the 15" and 17" models have separate input and output jacks.

What is the difference in price of MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz750GB and 256GB solid-state drive

go to the Store and configure all the models with upgrades but... an SSD will be fast and responsive, no noise or heat and adds $200 probably to the cost
