New batt, why much hotter when doing nothing

My machine (MacBook Pro) has been acting a little screwy since getting my battery replaced.
The odd thing is that it's getting hot now when it's just been sitting there, propped on its side, doing nothing but charging. In the past, in this situation, it would be cool to tepid. It's not the battery that's hot, but the general bottom of the machine, nearer to the screen hinge.
Another odd change is that when I start Parallels, it gives me a message that it can't boot the CD/DVD drive. I have no idea of there's any connection between the two issues.
Any ideas?

A hot battery while charging is perfectly normal. There are two things to cause a battery to be at its hottest…
1) Maximum discharging
2) Maximum charging

  • Adobe Première Pro CC crashes...when doing nothing!

    Please, i'm getting nervous about this: Brand new MacPro, 32GB RAM, Promise Pegasus Raid for Footage, Reinstall All ADOBE Stuff on clean/new drives, (No FCP7 or X installed), ans still I'm not so amazed by the speed and reactivity...But I'm now experiencing very frequent crashes when playing back sequences, difficulties to render a 4 minutes MXF with 3 filters on it, and surprisingly when doing nothing (project rendered, saved) or reading an email with première in background... !
    Check the kind of error message I got this morning... [cloudroom/releases/2014.09/PremierePro/Mezzanine/Src/Import.cpp-589]
    Should I go back to FCP 7 ?    ;-)

  • Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
    When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
    On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
    How can I fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • HD storage is getting smaller and smaller when doing nothing

    My HD storage is currently at 19.12GB available. It was at 19.23GB when I turned my comupter on. I did nothing except toggle back and forth between emails, and web pages and download a malware checker and the flashback checker recommended from these threads. It is now at 19.11GB. That's a big jump for less than 400KB. Yesterday, I was at 18.72GB and dropping as I moved stuff around from my downloads folder to folders on my HD. The space decreased a bit, but after shutting down, it increased up to the 19.23GB. I didn't delete anything that would equal almost half a Gig of memory. I disconnected from my modem and my WiFi to see if something was siphoning my information. My file sharing is turned off. I have run all my virus scans and trojan scans and malware scans. My Java is unchecked for both Safari and Firefox and yet when I restart, my trash bin has a few temp items in it. The folder says recovered files and has zero K in it. Sometimes there have been sub folders in it with temporary plugins and also sub folders that have said Sendmail. All have been empty or zero K. Also, when I empty the trash bin, say it had 1 folder with 2 sub folders in it, but when I delete it says removing 6 items. I have noticed this before on previous restarts, but I am now noticing this with my HD space. Am I just crazy or does something not sound right?

    I will go through this step by step.
    Find ebay site either by google search or typing the address.
    On ebay site ‘Click’ Login it, then login as normal in to your home page what ever it may be. } All these time the font is fine and I can view the full page from the left to right and scroll down to see me of the page.
    Now click on My Ebay and select Watch List. } When that’s loading up it looks ok for a bit and visible but As soon as the page fully loaded the font become small and the page is fully visible but the font is small. 
    Next lets go into another link on ebay. E.g Purchase history by clicking on My ebay and selecting that link. Once again when the page is loading up it looks ok for a bit but as soon as fully loaded the fonts are even smaller then before to a point I can’t see. I at that point have to zoom in to view any writing.
    If I then go back to the Watch list the fonts are even smaller then the last time..lol After that I just give up… and use the Ebay App
    When I got the Ipad2 first I don’t think it did that. It started to do this from yesterday and I only had it for less then a week now.

  • New dv6 7014nr runs too loud doing nothing

    I recently purchased a dv6 7014nr a few days ago and have barely done anything on it. However, the fan noise is out of control. I've turned off hp coolsense but there is little difference. I don't even feel any air coming out of the vent on the side, but the computer just runs increadibly loud. The laptop doesn't overheat or anything it's just outrageously loud. 
    I really like the machine aside from this point and i want to do everything i can to try and fix this so i don't have to use something else.
    I heard about "updating bios" and turning the feature "fan always on" off. I do, however, game quite a bit on this laptop and am worried about messing up the computer that way.This noise is just intolerable though. It's fine when i'm gaming, i understand that is using a lot of resources. But when the computer is so loud when i'm doing barely anything is what is driving me crazy
    is there anything i can do? I've done research ont he internet and all i have found is that it's a design flaw with hp laptops which i hope i may be able to do something about because i don't want to have to returnthis machine. 
    Thanks 

    See if you can go into a store that displays this machine and see if it is as loud as yours.  What worries me is that you can not feel and air flow. Can you see the fan blades with the aid of a flashlight and see if anything is blocking the flow of air like some plastic tape of packaging material. Does the sound make a noise like it is scraping metal fins or rubbing up against anything or just a normal loud fan? Do you monitor the temperature of your laptop? Do you use a notebook cooling pad? You really have to be able to feel the hot air coming out of the fan discharge area.

  • Macbook fan running at high rpm when doing nothing

    My macbook a1181's fan is always running at a high rpm and a can't figure out why. I already checked the activity monitor, made sure there was no documents waiting to be printed (i have had this problem in the past), and I removed and cleaned the fan and vents. Could os x 10.7.5 be part of the problem? I had absoutly no issues with 10.6.8.

    Check your activity monitor. Sounds like you have a program running in the back ground your not aware of.
    You might also try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.

  • My Macbook air's temperature around 50-60C !!! when doing nothing.

  • Received new battery - Now MBP runs much hotter

    My old battery had no poblems - MBP had no problem, now with new battery it is running much hotter and fans come on big time. Had no noise at all with first battery. Guess I'll call Apple and find out what's going on.

    I'm trying out the new battery (normal use of MBP is with line current and external kvm). On battery power the CPU temp stays in the fifties -- much hotter when plugged in for some reason. Also, on battery, there is a new, faint but noticeable noise, not steady but about one-second bursts with a microsecond inbetween, so 50-60 Hz. I'm thinking of visiting a genius.
    BREAKING NEWS: As the fuel gauge went down below 1:10 hr remaining, the menu bar icon shifted to "Calculating", with a red bar at the left end. System profiler shows all zeros in the Power submenu. Something is definitely amiss.

  • FF 14.0.1: Bookmark with java-script function to build and open URL. Works unless clicked when already in a new blank tab, then does nothing. Why?

    On 14.0.1 I have a bookmark which calls a java script function to prompt for input, build and call a dynamic URL. This has worked fine until last update of FF. It works fine if I right click and select Open in a New Tab, or new window. It works fine if I am in any other website and click it. It only does not work, if I open a new blank tab or window, and then click it from inside that new tab. Then it does nothing. Same happens whether the "New tab Page" is displayed or not. Same happens in safe mode.
    Bookmark properties:
    javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Document%20Number:%22,%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22https://somecompany.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}

    I searched for a recent thread on this but couldn't find it.
    This may be the result of a security restriction on some "about" pages such as about:home and about:newtab.
    Did you blank the new tab page using the little button or did you actually change the new tab page to about:blank? In case you need steps for testing:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page

  • Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

    Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

    From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click.  Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

  • Holding ctrl when clicking a link doesn't open it in a new tab; does nothing

    When I try to open a link in a new tab by holding down ctrl while clicking, it does nothing. Doesn't open at all. Have tried restarting in safe mode with add-ons disabled and had no joy.
    Also getting no menu when using right click, also tried in safe mode, also nothing.

    Should add that holding ctrl works from the bookmarks toolbar, just not in webpages themselves

  • When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
