The MacBooks gets very warm

Hello,
I bought my MacBook about one and a half month ago. It is my first Mac computer so this might be a stupid question, hehe...
I have noticed lately that the computer gets very warm. The computer is placed on a desk. But still after using it for a few hours it gets warm so I feel the heat on the keyboard when I type.
I didn't notice this in the begining, it has started the last week. Is it normal that the computer gets so warm it feels on the keyboard?
(more than a little feeling, I understand that I will feel alittle warm)

Since your aware of this, Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperatures, and that temps can be around 80º C / 176º F when doing a CPU intensive chore, you may want to contact Apple support about this.

My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) keeps freezing, the fan becomes extremely loud and the laptop gets very hot, what can I do?

Hi there,
I would be grateful if any one could help me. I purchased my MacBook Pro 13 Inch in August 2011, it was the "Early 2011" version, which was shipped with Lion (I have now upgraded it to Mountain Lion last year).
Up until a few weeks ago, it was running fine. But recently my MacBook keeps freezing (A circular rainbow appears on the cursor), slowing down, the fan gets very loud and I often have to restart the whole machine. This usually happens when I'm running programs such as Safari, Preview or Microsoft Word
I only use my MacBook for university work so I only have Microsoft Office and iWork installed, nothing else. I've only used 19gb out of the 320gb available. I've also reseted my MacBook to its factory settings but that hasn't fixed the problem.
I've checked my AppleCare status and it says:
Repairs and Service Coverage: Active

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to how I can resolve these problems, as it is stopping me from doing my work?
Many thanks.

Call Apple and make a appointment, backup your use data off the machine to a external drive.
Don't bother with TimeMachine if it asks, too long and likley be corrupted and unable to restore, just drag and drop your Users folder to the external drive.

If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.

Since I have installed iOS 4.3.3 on my 3GS it gets very warm and the accu gets empty in 2-3 hours!

What can I do?

Find the app that is continuously trying to send data and failing.
Have you rebooted (reset) the phone? If that does not resolve the problem there are a number of diagnostics that you can try. A search of the forum for "battery problem" should be rewarding. You don't need to include the version in the search, as this can happen with any version.

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...

HT3371 When I plug in the computer to charge, the light is green for a minute and then turns red and the plug gets very hot. It's not the plug as it works on other computer. Why won't my computer charge?

The bottom of the computer gets very hot

I just got this macbook pro MC721ll/a. The bottom of the computer gets very hot as it is sitting on my lap. I have never had a mac before but I don't think it should be doing that. Also, I don't hear any fans running. Is this normal?

The OS keeps the fans at a minimal speed because running them any faster would needlessly use extra energy and make more noise. Manually setting your fan speed won't wear out the fans because they're brushless AC fans (so they're not subject to any significant mechanical wear as they spin). One thing to keep in mind about SMC FanControl: Apple engineers spent a great deal of time, and probably money as well, designing the cooling systems for the computer (both in terms of the physical systems, and the algorithms that control the fans and regulate the voltages of the components). In addition, Intel CPUs have their own separate temperature monitoring systems which will severely throttle or even shut down the CPU if temperatures get dangerously high. So even in the extremely unlikely event that your fans ever actually spin too slowly, the computer will still shut itself off before anything bad happens.
And to answer your first question, it is definitely normal for the bottom of the Macbook to get hot because the body is made from aluminum, one of the best thermal conductors known. Basically the bottom acts as a heat sink, allowing the Macbook to cool off more efficiently and run faster. Most other manufacturers make the bodies of their laptops from plastics, which conduct heat about as well as fiberglass insulation or a mink coat.

My iPad getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time

Why my ipad is getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time, any body has same experience?, Why my ipad is getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time, any body has same experience?

The Temperature warning usually appears when the iPad has been set in a place where it gets so hot to the touch that you'd almost burn your hands if you picked it up. The temperature caused by the processor or charging the battery should never reach that level. If you feel your pad is too warm when you are using it Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My Macbook is very warm

Hello.
I have a problem with my new Macbook. When I use it for playing poker and MSN Messenger, the computer becomes very warm (about 36-38 degrees). Is that normal?
Sometimes I'm that afraid, I shut it down.

Yeah that's normal. My Mac hovers around 38-42 C.

Hi Katharine,
Hold down the power button until the screen turns black.
Then wait about a minute then press the power button once to turn it back on.
If you can't shut it down, if you're in the Walnut Creek I think you are, there's an Apple Store on South Main Street.
You can make a reservation at their Genius Bar in advance > Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

HT4060 When I charge my ipad on some occasions the plug gets very HOT. the ipad still charges but slower.????

When I charge my ipad using the small UPSpower adapter, the adapter gets very HOT on about every third use. It still charges but more slowly. Is any one having a similiar problem?? An sugstions as to how to correct it???

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.
