Overheating issues Macbook Pro 13" (newest version)

I bought one of the new Macbook Pro's with Haswell, the version which I believe retails at £1,249 in the UK.
I recently started playing the new Football Manager and after minutes of me turning the game on the laptop is becoming very hot, and in turn quite loud, on all surfaces.
I'm running the game on pretty much minimal settings, the laptop should be able to cope comfortably. I'm becoming quite worried now because the laptop seems to be generating heat when it wasn't previously, for simple tasks such as online browsing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Install istat menus:

When you are running a game, open istat menus, make a screen shot and post it for evaluation.
Ciao.

  • Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

    Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    What does it tell you. If it says it isn't compatible, then you don't have a mid/late 2007 MBP. You might have an early 2007 MBP, which cannot run Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    You can check here to see exactly which MBP you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4132
    If you hold down the Option key and select System Profiler from the Apple Menu, it will display the model identifier under the Hardware Section.
    It must be a macbookpro3,1 or later.

    i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
    did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
    thanks for your help

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    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.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

  • My macbook pro i7 (2011 version) has a loud fan and high cpu % when I have Skype on or when I am on Safari. Help please!

    My macbook pro i7 (2011 version) has a loud fan and a high cpu % when I have Skype on or when I am on Safari. My laptop would sometimes freeze for a while and it is usually hot. Has anyone else encounter this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks!

    Skype is a very resource intensive activity...it has been reported on here users are seeing cpu temperatures on the order of 80-85 °C, within the limits of the cpu, but still hot to the touch.
    Make sure nothing else is running so you keep the thermal load down.

    Try, in preferences, resetting 64 bit to 32 bits.  Should work fine.  the older vidoes, etc will not work with 64 bit.  Had the same problem/scare.  Let us know if this helps and works!

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

    ...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • External Monitor Issues - MacBook Pro +Acer

    Hello Everyone!!
    I currently have my new Macbook Pro hooked up to a Thunderbolt display and all is running well!  BUT, I also have a mid 2009 MBP that I am setting up with a new ACER S271HL monitor (one of their newer models) and I am having some "quality" issues.  The MBP is utilizing 8G of RAM with a 500G HD: approximately 400G available, running the most current version of LION with all updates and runs nicely.  I didn't have any connectivity issues using a new Startech mini-display port to HDMI adapter and a new Monster HDMI cable. The ACER monitor is one of the newest models with resolution of 1920x1080 and the MBP did not have any issues recognizing it and I have not had any problems with "setting it up"- all resolutions are supported and recognized and everything seems ok.  I began by using MAC's Color Sync Utility and customized the monitor profile.  Then I did some fine tweaking with the monitor controls themselves - no issues.  The PROBLEM is that it just doesn't look good!!!! The text is not sharp in any document, browser tabs, content, etc. - the whole thing is kind of dull?! Video is ok at best - but again, not sharp.  So, I tried the Color Synch Utility again and had a second person set up a profile just to make sure I'm not going crazy?! - same result?!  I tried a different HDMI cable (new) - same result.  I tried a different mini-display to HDMI adapter - same result.  I reset the SMC and the PRAM - same result?!?!  I tried moving the monitor to another location to see if it was just the light and my eyes - no good.  I switched to a mini-display to DVI adapter/cable - same result. NOW, the thing that is really bothering me here is that my office uses older ACER monitors - discontinued V213H - I have three set up with an "older" DELL PC (no hot- rodded graphics/video card - standard, boring, office PC) and they LOOK GREAT?!?! So, I hooked my office laptop up to the new ACER monitor I bought and it LOOKED GREAT!?!?!  (with NO CONFIGURATION) I even used an old ratty VGA cable and it looked SO much better!?!?  I took the MBP to the office and hooked it up the work monitors and it only looked ok - better than on the new display, but still not sharp!?  
    So then I tried the driver route...ACER actually has a specific APPLE disclaimer of sorts on their support page indicating, that although their monitors are configured to work with all current computer models, that are tested in a PC environment and you may encounter issues that should be addressed with APPLE?!  Even though the monitor drivers I had are listed as the most current, I tried downloading them anyway - the MBP downloads them, but cannot install them because they are not recognized?!?  (All the support documentation, installation CD, etc. that came with the monitor was not recognizable by the MAC either)
    SO - does anyone else have similar issues with ACER monitors?? Know of anyone else that might???  I can't hook up the MBP to the Thunderbolt display to really rule out a problem - but I'm confident this is not a hardware issue with any of the components.
    I hate to give up on this because I'm setting it up for a friend so I figure I'll give it a few more days and see what kinds of ideas others might come up with before I throw in the towel and take this sucker back!
    Thanks for reading my 'novel' of a post - any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!

    i had the same problem, i solved it by buying a more higher end "hdmi to vga" wire, i 1st bought a cheap conversion wire "hdmi to vga" from a slow boat from china via Amazon and it didn't work on my macbook but seems to be working well on my windows laptop.
    so i bought another conversion wire via Amozon "hdmi to vga" from a company called Sewell Quirts in a 10' version.... now my mac mirrors or extend my laptop monitor, hope this helps.
    and its not a "file" issue like everyone else says in here.
    and my acer monitor is an older one with only a dvi and vga inputs.... using it to extend my 2014 macbook pro retina.

  • Bootcamp Windows 8.1 Overheating on Macbook Pro Mid 2014

    Hello, I recently bought a mid 2014 retina Macbook Pro a few months ago. I got the 2.5Ghz intel i7 16GB RAM. After buying it, I installed Windows 8.1 Pro via bootcamp. So at the moment I'm running Yosemite and Windows 8.1 (Bootcamp). The fan and overheating is not an issue when I'm using Yosemite, and the temperature hovers at around 40 celsius (50-55 celsius when playing games). However, when I switch to Windows, my average temperature is 55-60 celsius. When i play games, it gets up to 80 celsius and the fan runs at full speed. I have a program to monitor my fan speed on windows, but i hate how its so loud and i feel like I'm wrecking my  laptop when its at 70 celsius because its really hot to even touch! Is there a way to run windows 8.1 bootcamp and still have it run at 40-55 celsius without the fan running at full power all the time? Please help!! Thank You!

    It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.

  • Hello Im trying to update my macbook pro from itunes version 10.5 to the latest version. can anyone tell me why I'm unable to update?

    Hello
    My macbook pro is version MAC OS X V.10.5.8 and I'm trying to udate my itunes from10.6.3 to the most current version. However, when I try to do this I cant seem to be able to find the newest version of itunes- I'm receiving the message that I'm up to date with the latest version.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You are for Leopard. To upgrade iTunes you first need to upgrade OS X. Start with Snow Leopard. You can upgrade further should you want to. But Snow Leopard will allow you to install the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
