T61 - bottom extremely hot when standing idel

Does anmy know why my T61 bottom center / left hand side is extremely hit. The bottom right by fan vents is also very hot.
Running XP SP3
T7300 @ 2 GHz
1.96 GB RAM

Hello,
on the left bottom center there´s your cpu. On bottom right is your hdd, sometimes they sound as a vent.
To measure your temperatures use:
Tpfancontrol or PFcontrol.
Please check your power plan, set it to balanced, and if your vents are clogged with dust, clean them.
Regards
Andreas

What causes my ipod touch 4g to become extremely hot when i play games or surf the web for more than 30 minutes?

my ipod touch 4g becomes very hot when play games or surf the web for more than 30 minutes. does any body know why?

Maybe the solution is that you iPod is slow is because you are not closing your apps after you use them. To do this you must:
1. Press the Home Button to get out of that app
2. You will return to the Home Screen
3. Click the Home Button twice, (do this quite fast, But not TOO fast)
4. A bar with all your apps that you have come out of will be on the bottom of the screen
5. Hold down one of those apps
6. They will start to "jiggle"
7. A little red circle will be beside all of the "jiggling" apps
8. Press that little red circle and those apps will close (NOTE: This is NOT deleting your apps)
9. Now you apps are closed NOT deleted
10. Your iPod will now speed up in: Browsing, downloading, syncing and much more
11. (Bonus) - To DELETE an application do the same thing ( But not clicking the Home Button twice) and all of your apps which you downloaded will "jiggle" and there will be an black circle with an X in it, click that X to DELETE that app and a dialog will pop up and say: "Do you really want to delete this app?" If you want to: Click yes.
And that is how to speed up your iPod
Bonus) - is how to DELETE an App
Thank You,

MBP (2010) is extremely hot when charging

I just bought a new MBP 15' and I found it becomes very hot when charging --- case is closed. And I can hear the fan is working intermittently. I open the case and let it charging, then the fan stops working and the case is cooling several somewhat. In my old MBP (15' 2009 )model, no this issue. I always close the case and let it charge overnight. In the morning I can feel the case is as cold as ice. Can anyone explain to me is this normal or how can I adjust ? Does Apple apply some new technology in battery? Thanks in advance.

+and finally adjust the fan control+
I hope you're not using smcfancontrol or some other utility that changes the normal operating parameters Apple set for the fans ? They have been know to cause problems and I strongly advise against using things like that ... (Problems such as; running the fans at a higher speed for much longer than they are designed for and so the motors burn out; the temperature sensors getting stuck/confused and not coming on as they are supposed to, causing extreme overheating etc.)
If it's asleep then nothing should be running at all ...

My Mid-2011 Macbook Air becomes extremely hot when installing apps from the Mac App Store and when deleting apps

My Mid-2011 Macbook Air 13-inch (OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion) becomes hot to the touch when trying to delete large documents, watching videos after waking it from sleep-mode and when installing applications from the Mac App Store. This has also been happening with OSX Lion before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
What needed to be done the day that you set up the new Mac was go into the Mac App Store (MAS), sign into your iTunes/MAS Apple ID, go to the Purchases pane and Accept the iLife apps that would have been there in a special section. That would have sent you Mac's unique identifier code to Apple's servers and verified that this Mac was eligible for the bundled iLife suite and then registered these apps into your MAS account.
You might try going to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist, delete the adption plist, restart the Mac and then go to the Purchaes pane and see if you can Accept the apps into your account.

MacBook runs extremely hot when the battery is in!

To start off... I'm a quite savvy user. I've built PC desktops, I repair computers for friends and family, and I'm interning at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. However, I'm having an issue that is totally stumping me. I recently took my MacBook apart to clean it and apply some Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU and Northbridge. All went well, and without the battery in, my CPU temperature maxes out at 155 Fahrenheit (versus the previous max of 185). When I put the battery in (with CPU load at 100%), the CPU temperature jumps from between 145-155 to 200 very quickly. I checked the connection of the battery cable to the logic board, as well as all the other cables on the easily accessible side of the logic board. I triple checked all the cable connections on the underside of the logic board since I didn't want to have to take it out again. Any ideas as to why my system runs so hot with the battery in?

Hmm, I never knew that, and thanks for the quick reply! I guess I'll be taking the logic board back out and checking the heatsink and thermal paste application again. It was interesting, one of the screws in my heatsink was totally smooth; never threaded in the factory. I had to order a whole new set of heatsink screws. Perhaps the threading on the logic board itself is off and not letting the heatsink sit flush? That screw did give me some difficulty getting in.

Macbook Pro 2012 gets extremely hot when playing games on windows par.

So im just playing some games like BF4, Skyrim, etc and all of a sudden studder, the metal heats up, and whats missing? The fans! They dont even bother to turn on to keep things cool like on the OS X side.
Anyway to get the fans running like they do on the OS X par? I dont want to overheat my mac.
Thanks

I can't tell if your Mac is getting too hot without knowing the actual temperatures, but they do run hotter in Windows, hottest with games.
But reinstalling the support software should eliminate that from the puzzle.

BlackBerry Torch Getting Extremely Hot

The past few days for some unknown reason, my BB Torch has started getting extremely hot when in use, particularly when making or receiving calls. The phone then also starts to “Call Fail” when it gets so hot. The phone gets so hot it almost burns your skin if you put the phone in your pocket. If I don’t use the phone at all, it then cools down again, but as soon as I start to use it again it heats up. Also when I charge the phone it starts to charge then stops, then when you pull the charger out and plug it in again it charges again normally.
It does not get extremely hot all the time. It might work half the day normally, then all of a sudden it will just start heating up and start “dropping” the calls.
I took it in to my Service Provider today and they sending it off to Blackberry for them to look at the phone to see what is wrong. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this with their phone at all?

On device go to Options, Device, Application Management is a great way to see what your apps are doing with your CPU usage on Smartphone. Just slide top bar to CPU and see what is going on. Also touch the CPU menu to see other time variables. I found out that an app was eating away CPU cycles on mine
Disable Compression on media card? go to Options, Device, Storage
using a custom theme? try it for a day the factory default one to rule out your theme
remember the esc key closes most apps, except for GPS and some chat clients. the other apps need to use menu and then exit or close. The farthest key to the right is a home key and does not close any apps per se but will end calls.

MacBook Pro getting extremely hot playing Diablo 3

Hello, is it normal my Mac (mid 2014), i5 + 8 gigs of ram to become EXTREMELY hot when playing Diablo 3 ? It literally blows extremely hot air from the little holes that are near by the folding mechanism. I mean 1)I guess that is not good for the Mac 2) it is very bad for the part of the display that gets the hot air. So is there anything I can do to stop this ?

Ah, well I'm away from home at the moment so no DVD.
However, it is the UK trading standards act that tells me that any product is supposed to last without fault a reasonable time, based on the amount you paid for. So a £10 toaster isn't exactly good for 3 years, but a £1,000 Macbook Pro would be expected to last more than a year.
At the moment, the way this is going, I'm seriously damaging my CPU lifespan, it's constantly at 70c, the fan is constantly spinning, and the battery is constantly draining. I had 1 tab open on Firefox 4, it was a forum, with no ads, no flash, just text and basic pictures and my CPU is 70C.
So I think something is wrong with my Macbook.
I'm going to ring up Trading standards, get them to advise me what to do, then ring up Apple and tell them from the get go that I know my rights as a UK customer and that I expect a repair, replacement (of equal or greater value) or a refund. Either would be good.

Why does my Macbook Pro get extremely hot doing simple things like surfing the web?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 4GB of ram 500GB HD. The last few months my mac has been getting extremely hot when I do simple things like listening to music or going on facebook etc. I have used accessories to cool it down, but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Might be that the vents are clogged and need a clean up. Depends on the environment it was used in (dust, smoke, etc).
Might also be that some piece of software is the culprit and not iTunes or Safari/Chrome/Firefox.
Run Activity Monitor and see which application(s) use abnormally high amount of processing power.

2012 MBP extremely hot out of bag while turned off

My mid-2012 MBP was extremely hot when I pulled it out of my bag at work this morning. I never transport it while asleep, but I was in a hurry when I was leaving, so I thought at first that perhaps I had failed to shut down completely before closing it, but upon checking the console log, it appears to have shut down at 9:34 when I turned it off and not had any activity until I booted up at 11:45. Whatever it was doing while off, it discharged approximately 50% of the battery. What kind of parties is my computer throwing in my backpack?! Has anyone else encountered this sort of behavior?

Yes, it's been running at normal temp since turning it on, but I am fairly certain that it was off. I was concerned that it was perhaps asleep, so I attempted to wake it through keyboard use prior to powering up, to no effect. Upon startup, it went through the usual boot up, rather than waking from sleep. The battery is my suspect as well, though it claims to be in reasonably good shape, status normal, it is already down to 6327 mAh capacity after a disappointing 190 charge cycles. Going to calibrate and reset SMC and then see what it has to say for itself.

Bottom of macbook warm or extremely hot what is the normal feel of it....

Know this discussion has been done to death but this is a variation on it. To what level of heat does the bottom of the macbook get to? Warm or does it get extremely hot causing one to have the reaction to pull the hand away when just trying to move the notebook. Not even talking about using on my lap but just the act of moving the notebook around. The hand contacts an area and the first reaction is to pull the hand away due to it being extremely hot. Is this normal under usual average load? Have yet to have it under heavy cpu load. Fully understand that there is going to be warm but just need to know if the norm is warm or is it hot to the touch as described above.
Again I fully understand that it will be warm but just need to hear from others and their experience so far with their macbooks.
From reading other users responses to the heat topic it is somewhat vague as to what the term warm means. Users have posted that it is just warm but not uncomfortable but others have stated that it is hot and uncomfortable. Just want to know if my notebook is within norm or not. Must also add that the cpu at idle is in the 140F range.

just my personal opinon here but I don't have any issues with the heat. These newer generation laptops that rival or exceed desktop speeds get hot and as one earlier post properly addressed, its a matter of physics! I really do not understand why so many people have issues with it! I place my laptop on a hard flat surface so as to allow ventilaton under the machine. If I am using it in bed, I put it on a small sofa pillow with a little tray...that helps keep it a good viewing height and dissipates the heat...Yeah it gets hot and I would not put it on my thighs after 15 minutes but other than that its a teriffic machine

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

Does anyone Bravia XBR-55x850c gets extremely hot on the bottom surface of the TV?

Bottom surface of the X850c gets extremely hot to the touch. Does anyone have similar issue? Or maybe it's normal? Please let me know. Thanks

You need to take it in to Apple and let them take a look at it. You have a short in your iPod Touch that needs to be repaired.

My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

The troubling thing to me is the fact that the charger gets extremely hot - according to what you are saying. The charger can get warm and can get fairly warm when the iPad is charging, but it should never get extremely hot. Make an appointment at an Apple Store, take the iPad, the cable and the charger with you and ask them to look at everything for you.
