Whats happening with the 2011 macbook pro heating issue?

Hi guys,
I have a 2011 mbp 15" 2.2ghz and i am wondering if the heating issue is affecting me?
I tried seeing what my max temperature was...
I played taken in hd and bourne ultamatim trailer at the same time with 2 youtube video playing while plying modern combat.. i had around 85 celcius mark
Is this normal?
Do i need to get the Thermal Paste changed? whats the deal with this?
Also I heard that apple disabled turbo boost, is that correct or false?

one of the benefits of a laptop
Laptop is a misnomer often applied to notebook computers.
have Apple say their computers should not be used on my lap
Notebook computers violate all basics of ergonomics to facilitate portability. Many users require more comfort than is achieved when using a notebook, which is why stands, external keyboards and mice are all offered by third party vendors to enhance the user experience of their notebook computer.
No human being that has reasonably good posture habits should consider using their lap as a top for a portable computer.
It makes my neck hurt just thinking about it........
I can't believe that OSHA, Workman's Comp Insurance, etc., doesn't have rules against the improper use of notebook computers.....
is supposed to be the ability to not be at a desk.
One of the benefits of these computers is portability. Whether or not that is involves a desk is up to conditions at hand.
Misuse of this portability does not negate the positve attributes that abound.
If you don't want red marks on your lap, use the machine properly....

What happened to the 17" Macbook Pro?

I have been using the 17" Macbook Pro since they were created and they have suddenly dissapeared, do they still exist?

The 100% anti-glare is better, however for the MacBook Pro to turn into a iTablet, it can't have a anti-glare film as it's a touchscreen.
The 75% reduced glare likely has a process done on the screen itself to reduce glare, however it's possible to get over 99% reduced glare, but it's probally a military advantage/secret process and China (where Apple gets it's products made) will steal or demand the process in order for buisneses to do buisness in China (like Apple does)
See the picture and videos on this site, this type of glass/acrylic doesn't have any reflections, which would make a excellent touchscreen.

When scrolling vertically there is an horizontal line which causes distorsion of the screen. I do not have noticed such concern on my iMac or on my macbook. What happen with the macpro ?

Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans?

Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans? In other words, I pre ordered the 256 SSD option with my purchase from Apple. I have searched and searched the internet for a clear answer. I have called Apple and have gotten contradictory answers. Can anyone definitively answer this question?

It's unbelievable that anyone purporting to represent Apple could have misinformed you in such a ridiculous way. Apple has never produced a MBP that didn't have one or more cooling fans in it. The percentage of total heat generated by a MBP that comes from its hard drive (or SSD) is tiny — I would guess it's considerably less than 5%. The notion that the machine could dispense with cooling fans as a result of switching from a conventional drive to a SSD is laughable.
I can only assume that you posed the question in such a way that it was not clearly understood by the people responding.

What happened with the 7000 2011.q1 fw update

Dose any one know what happened with the 7000 2011.q1 fw update, we where eagerly waiting hopping to get the compressed replication feature (save in replication bandwidth).
Thanks,

Restore your library from an up to date backup.
If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Drobo Pro, iSCSI and the 2011 Macbook Pros

I ran into awful connection issues using iSCSI and a Drobo Pro with my brand new Macbook Pro. Nothing turned up on google, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling:
Drobo Pro was "disconnecting" from my brand new Macbook Pro while doing simple Log&Transfer work in Final Cut Pro. This is a process that I've done countless times on my C2D iMac and Core Duo Macbook Pro. While connected via iSCSI, L&T would completely freeze after a few seconds of working. In turn, finder would freeze and no data from my Drobo Pro would be accessible until I did a hard reboot on the computer. All of this happened regardless of the state of the AirPort, network settings, Font Book settings or PRAM zappage. It felt exactly like a full-on disconnection, but without any acknowledgement from OSX about the disconnect.
The fact that my Drobo works perfectly with the other two Macs convinced me that it was a hardware issue on the MBP. According to Apple, there was no difference with the Ethernet architecture between this MBP and any other Mac, and according to Drobo, there was no reason that the iSCSI initiator would do anything differently. As it turns out, there is something about the new Macbook Pros that everybody overlooked:
By default, the 2011 Macbook Pros boot into 64 bit mode. My iMac doesn't. My CD MBP doesn't. This is the key to the issue.
After reading up on problems with 64 bit OSX and Drobo Dashboard's iSCSI on the Drobospace forums, my issues turned out to be very similar to everybody else's: Drobo's speed into my mac was at 1MB/s or less. It wasn't a total disconnection, but a drought of data.
Has anybody else run into this issue with iSCSI and the new Macbook Pros? Hopefully as it comes up more often, more people can bump into this post and save themselves a few hours of troubleshooting.

I may not be of any help, but yes, I have issues too.
We had a DroboPro connected to our Mac Mini Server (late 2009) and shared to our network with plenty of speed. We just upgraded to a MacPro 2x2.4GHz Xeon (mid 2010) and now my DroboPro gets around 1MB/s when connected via iSCSI.
I've tried as many connection configurations as I can think of, and I can't get it. Actually, I did have it working well briefly last night, but then I lost it again, and I'm not sure why. It could have been because I installed some other software, but I'm not sure.
Could it be that I still have Drobo Dashboard (and therefore the iSCSI initiator extension) installed on other computers in my network? But I can't even get it to work when all the other computers are off.
Frustrating.

LaCie Desktop Manager doesn't recognize LaCie RAID with my 2011 MacBook Pro

Hello,
I have a new MacBook Pro 17" but I am not able to use the LaCie Desktop Manager with the LaCie 4big Quadra Enterprise Class RAID. The drive is recognized by the finder via eSATA, FireWire, USB, but is not recognized by the LaCie Desktop Manager. This prevents me from encrypting the drive. The LaCie Desktop Manager could recognize the raid with my early 2008 MacBook Pro.
I'd like to know if anyone else is having the same problem with their 2011 MacBook Pro.
I have been communicating with LaCie support but he tells me that he can't check the same or similar configuration as mine.
Thanks,
Dennis

Looks like the cable is the same if you still have the 2010.

What configuration of the new macbook pro do I need to run FCS 3 without choppy playback.

Yep, just wondering what configuration of the new macbook pro do I need to run FCS 3 without choppy playback or lagging. I'm thinking about the 7200rpm, 2.2ghz, antiglare, 4gb ram, with 1gb GPU graphics card configuration

Nothing wrong with the computer. Playback is dependent on the media and the drives.

My 2007 Intel Macbook Pro had Tiger 10.4. Can I boot into that drive,now an external, with my 2011 Macbook Pro?

I have software that is no longer compatible with my 2011 MacBook Pro that I would like to continue to use.
When I upgraded my old 2007 MBP from Tiger to Leopard, I did a clean install on a new drive, and put the original internal in an external case.
This same software did not work with Leopard, but I could boot into the old drive when necessary, and use it that way.
But so far, I have not been able to do this with the new computer.
Since that MBP had an Intel processor, shouldn't I be able to boot into the old drive, or is the problem due to the i7's quad core?
BTW, I have Parallels 7 (and 8 available, but not installed yet) running WIndows Pro 7.
Can I use Parallels to install Mac 10.4 as a VM as a way around this?
Thanks.

You can upgrade from10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6 but you might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... I recently upgraded an 2006 MacBook (model 1,1) from 10.4 to 10.6.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb offree space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You won't need the box set unless you want the full iLife '11 and iWork '09. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.
A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $100

Problems with early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" 2.7 GHz / OWC Mercury Extreme Pro

*Has anyone else experienced issues getting their OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD working in the early 2011 MacBook Pros?*
I am having difficulties getting OS X installed on the new OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 240 GB. When I install the SSD in place of the factory HDD and boot from the 10.6.6 reinstallation DVD the SSD is not visible to the installation program. If I quit the 10.6.6 installer and run Disk Utility (from the 10.6.6 installation DVD) the SSD is not visible. If I quit Disk Utility and run System Profiler (from the 10.6.6. installation DVD) the drive is visible and firmware and serial numbers are displayed. So like the drive is visible to OS X but the installer / Disk Utility can not see it.
If I put the SSD in an external USB enclosure it is visible - I can format the drive and copy files to it.
I also tried installing the SSD in place of the factory HDD, putting the HDD in a USB enclosure, booting from the OS X installation on the HDD and running the OS X installer from the 10.6.6 DVD. I was able to select the SSD as the target for the installation and the initial file copy was OK, but when the laptop restarted during the installation the SSD would not boot. The grey folder icon with the flashing question mark was displayed instead. Holding down Option while booting only gave me the option to boot from the DVD.
I also tried resetting the NVRAM and SMC of the MacBook Pro - this did not resolve the issue.
I spoke to OWC support who said they did not know of any compatibility issues with the new MacBook Pros and suggested I request a replacement.
The firmware version of the SSD is 350a13f0

This is my exact problem. I have had 2 of these drives so far and both of them have had the same problem with installation internally. The first one I was able to get operational using the method you described, ie: put the OWC SSD in an external case (FW800 was my choice) and install it there. But I encountered the sleep issues, so I sent it back for a replacement.
The second drive I was finally able to install using the second method, but now the computer regularly locks up. So I'm going to call again and hopefully the third try will work.
Just to clarify. The first drive had sleep issues, but had the older firmware. The second drive had the newer firmware (360 I think it is) and didn't have the sleep issues, but locks up while running.
I'm so irritated on how many hours I've spent on this issue. And their support department, though very nice, wasn't helpful at all. It's as if they never heard of this problem.

Any perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro?

I'm still not sure if to go for the new Macbook Pro 2.8 ghz, or the 6 months earlier 2.5 ghz model (march 2008).
I love to go for the new Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure about my setup. Now I have:
- extern 7200 rpm bus powered LaCie firewire 800 hard drive
- Saffire with firewire 400 (thinking about moving to Apogee Duet)
Will the express card really help? I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400? Also that a bus powered hard drive doesn't work, and that it needs it's own power to run with the express card?
Bottom line:
What would be the perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro? I gladly invest in a different audio interface (or anything else) if it really fits and works as pro audio setup!

I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400?
I don't think this is right. As I understand it, the advantage of having one of your devices on an express card slot is specifically so it is on its own bus.
Then both devices will operate on their own speed.
However, this is true for the older model Macbook Pros when you use both FW ports that are built in, because even though the machine has two ports, they each feed one firewire bus. So if you have a device plugged into each port, the one plugged into the 800 will only run at 400 speed because they're both on the same bus. Using an express card means both devices can operate at their own speed.
If you want the newer machine I think you should get it. Then you can buy a firewire 400 express card, plug your interface into that, and plug your FW 800 drive into the main firewire port. This will give you better performance from your peripherals than an older machine with both devices plugged into the built in FW ports.
Good Luck!

HT4918 what happen with the documents in Idisk, how can i see them in iCloud?

what happen with the documents that i have in my idisk?? how can i move them into icloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

Will it work with the 2010 MacBook Pro?

Can anyone tell me if the Apple DVI to ADC Adaptor will work with the 2010 MacBook Pro with DisplayPort using Apple's "Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter"?
Cheers,

I'd suggest checking out the drives at OWC:

They speak Mac and have excellent customer service.

Does the magsafe 2 converter work with with the 13in MacBook Pro(2012)?

i was just wondering if the MagSafe 2 Converter worked with the 13" MacBook Pro(2012)

The spec's page only say "MagSafe power port" - doesn't specify if it's the original or the newer '2'. The Retina spec's a MagSafe 2...
I guess you'll just have to wait until someone with a 2012 non-Retina MBP comes along...
