Air flow is a major issue for all laptops. Therefore it is essential to make sure that several things are completed on a regular basis to keep your laptop running as cool as possible.
1. Make sure your air vents are free of lint and dust and your fan(s) are free of the same.
2. Use compressed canned air, spray air vents and fan(s) for 2 to 3 seconds at a time only; otherwise you may damage your hardware.
3. Open your laptop use Arctic Silver thermal compound applied to the heat sinks on the CPU.
4. Make sure your drivers for video and BIOS, chipset are all updated.
5. The other way to keep your laptop cooler is to purchase a cooling plate.
It fits under your laptop and it has 2 fans and it keeps your laptop twice to three times as cool.
It helps to draw out the hot air from within your system.
I am including an image to help show the vents.

While launching Mail, I clicked on Safari, to check something while Mail got new emails, but now Mail appears on the same screen as Safari. Is there a way I can return it to it's own screen, please?
I haven't changed any prefs, only clicked Safari as mail was being launched.Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

In the past, I have just used my time capsule to back up my macbook pro. It connected wirelessly and everything worked great. I recently purchased a new router and now I cannot connect to the time capsule. Please help!
Is that other router the "main" one? If so, you'll have to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network created by that router. The details of how to do that and whether it's possible may depend on the brand and model of that router, but I have no details on that.

Our MacBook Pro, purchased in New York June 2011, has appeared to have imploded upwards, case and mousepad area only, overnight. We've read on the community of other almost similar experiences and wonder if this is a common experience?
Batteries can and have expanded when they are old and their useful life is over. More often than not, there will be a warning generated in the battery display in the menu bar or in System Information>Power. You may use a #00 Phillips driver and take off the bottom of the MBP and take out the battery.

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. -

thin horizontal lines appear occasionally across window of firefox, if i switch to finder, not there. appears to stay with windows of different programs.
lately above the keyboard along back edge in the middle under monitor gets very hot almost to hot to touch, uncomfortable on lap.
i have no idea what the memory cards are. some have suggested i should replace memory cards?I don't really know about the new models as far as typical operating temperatures. The ones you mention are not meaningfully high to me. My 2011 13" MBP with an i5 CPU typically idles near 50º C.
As for the speed issue that is hard to evaluate on the basis of personal opinion. You can download and run GeekBench benchmarks and compare the results to those reported for the same model configuration. You can use CineBench to benchmark video performance. -

I have a new iPad with retina display it seems to get very hot is this right
Should the iPad get very hot ?
I would recomend turning down your brightness of your screen. It should be put to to 50-60% and now the iPadwill not get warm. Still you can feel the heat but at least it does not get as warm as using 100% brightness.

I suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they will diagnose the problem and get it repaired if it requires it.

Just Purchased MBA; the Charger gets VERY hot
I just purchased the Macbook Air. When I plug it in, the Charger gets very hot after a few minutes and if I listen closely, there is a faint hissing. I assume this is not normal, correct?
I plugged my late 2010 MBA 13 in recently and then after about 20 minutes, needed to move it and the charger to another outlet. I had never paid any attention to how warm this charger can get. It was so hot, I could barely hold it. I checked it a few minutes later and it wasn't any hotter, but not any cooler either. It's will be a year this month since I bought this computer so the warranty is set to expire.
Good thing for AppleCare...
