Why is my MacBook Pro 15in so hot?
The fan in my computer is ALWAYS on and the heat is basically unbearable. This happens even if the only thing i am doing is browsing google chrome with a single tab open and no video contente or anything along those lines.
This is what activity monitor is telling me:

Why is my Macbook Pro getting so hot when I watch videos?
Yesterday, I bought an HDMI cable for my 2 year old Macbook Pro, and Samsung flat screen. I got this to watch HULU, now everytime I watch a video on Hulu, even if it's only less than a minute, but computer gets INSTANTLY hot! REALLY hot, don't ask me HOW hot, but WAY too hot for a computer, I have never had heating problems with this computer before.
I'm afraid to try and watch any more shows. What am I doing wrong? I really want to watch Hulu. On that note, I can't figure out how to get videos from my computer to play on my TV, but that's another matter.
I have no idea what operating system I have, just that it's a Snow Leopard.What ever you do, DO NOT download any software that claims to 'clean' your MBP.
My suggestion is to upgrade your software. I note you are at Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and 10.6.8 is available.
In addition do a bit of house cleaning on your HHD. Trash old data that you don't use or no longer need.
Consider dusting off your original installation disks and perform an Apple hardware test using disk 2. There may just be a hardware issue that you are not aware of (do this with all peripherals detached.

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. -
Why does my macbook pro get hot
Why does my Macbook pro get hot while I am only on my email account? This is a recent change. It gets too hot too put in my lap. Is it a battery issue.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps.

Why is my Macbook Pro 2.33 so hot and why are my fans on so high?
So, I'm sitting here with just Safari 3.1.1 open with just this single page, nothing else running on my machine, 3GB of RAM, and activity monitor reports a total 3.5% CPU usage. Why is my Macbook Pro hot like it's really working (not something-is-broken hot, just the temperature I'd expect with Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash all open at the same time) and why are the fans running like a jet engine?
No weird errors in the console, Spotlight isn't indexing, nothing special in the Dashboard, lots of spare space on the HD, permissions repaired, disks have been checked, I turned off icon previewing on the desktop, top doesn't report anything more than Activity Monitor does -- it really seems like my machine is genuinely wheezing at 3.5%. I was just asked if I wouldn't mind working in another room because my machine is so noisy. You heard me right, my Macbook Pro is getting me kicked out of places.
I've put up with the clump of dead pixels, airport connection issues, now-useless DVD burner that an Apple update bricked, and early battery death, but this one is just boggling. If anyone has any advice I'd be grateful.Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have iStatPro? You can download it from the Apple site and see what it is that is running so hot. Under the low usage you describe, the fans should be idling silently. And you might be able to tell what is getting so hot.
If Activity Monitor doesn't show anything, then you might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It sounds like something is getting very hot. If there is a hardware problem, then you should get one or more error codes. The Apple Hardware Test is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that came with your Mac--you boot to it by holding down "D". Instructions are on the disc and on the screen.
Also, be sure you have "All Processes" selected on the Activity Monitor. And the boxes at the bottom should be mostly black with very little red or green at 3.5% CPU usage. Given all the symptoms, I am surprised that there is not some process running amok in the background.
Good luck! -

MacBook Pro 2011 get hot and noise all the time and slowly ?
hi. why MacBook Pro get too hot and make a noise all the time i have Yosemite ,mac late 2011 and became very slow?
Games are very CPU/GPU intensive applications and will heat up the MBP. That will result in the fans increasing speed in order to dissipate the heat. This actually is an expected result and for the type of application, is 'normal'.
I you plan to play a lot of games, consider getting a cooling pad twhich will tend to mitigate the heating.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot after I install OS X 10.10.3. Can Someone help?
After i install OS X 10.10.3 my macbook pro gets really hot. I don't know why. Someone has a solution?
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -
My 13" MacBook pro gets really hot without extended or heavy usage
My 13" MacBook pro gets really hot without extended or heavy usage and the fan's noise is annoying, my friends say this is not normal
Is it normal?
It gets really hot especially when there is flash contentI am also having what I feel are excessive temperatures and fans while doing nothing tasks like web browsing.
Can anyone tell me what the reasonable operating ranges are for the various components?
There is a program called "Tmperature Monitor" which is free and gives even more sensor readings than iStat Pro.
Why does flash make it so hot? I have this problem too.
Also is it normal when connecting only one external display and just browsing the web for the GPU to be at 85-90C (194F)?
Any idea why iStat always shows a lower battery percentage than OSX?

WHY does my Macbook Pro (mid 2012) always slow to crawl when I wake it up and go online???
I wake up my Macbook Pro (sweetly tell it that I love it)
click on one of the 1-10 tabs I have open in Firefox or Safari
Click on iTunes (open already) to play some tunes
Wait
Wait while the little ball spins as my browser thinks
wait a bit more
finally the tab I click on comes to the front, but the page takes 15-60 seconds to load
I proceed feeling irritated
A little help?

Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15in i7 keeps crashing
This problem has been going on for a long time now where my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15in w/ i7 processer keeps crashing at random times. No data is lost but it just keeps shutting down and restarting. I was thinking it may be the logic board or motherboard, not sure if they are the same thing. I get this message when I report the problem:

What can I do about this? Is there a part I need to replace or should I just sell this and buy a new Mac?It's a well documented problem with that model. Your graphics circuit is failing. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard for 3 years from the date of purchase, though some folks have gotten help beyond that time frame.

Mid-2010 Macbook Pro running very hot
Hi all,
My mid-2010 Macbook pro is running very hot. On average CPU is 61-70 degrees Celsius, sometimes even more. I'm pretty bad at having lots of chrome tabs open and heavy multitasking, but even when I'm not temperature still ends up very high and fan rpm can get to over 6000. Heat seems to be concentrated to the lefthand side of the touchpad (battery area?). I'm running 10.9.3.
Current stats below from iStat pro widget (smcFanControl concurs with these temps), with only the following pic's activity running. Laptop currently balanced on two books (so airflow around the sides) which are in turn on my lap.
I have tried reseting the SMC with the shift-control-option-power method but it doesn't seem to have worked - instructions said to press and hold this, then release, then press power again to boot, but laptop boots up from this combination anyway.
Am I just doing something wrong or will this be an expensive trip to the apple store to fix?Hey happyhaskins,
If you are having an issue with your MacBook Pro running excessively hot, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?
Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
Tried safe boot several times. No help.
Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?
Cheers

... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one. -
Macbook Pro 15in Unibody Wi-Fi Drop and Stay Off / Total System Freeze
Hi.
Up until about two weeks ago I had no issues with my mac. Then I installed Lion and about two days later the following occurred:
Macbook Pro 15in Unibody - drops wifi connection with numerous routers and different locations. I turn Airport Utility off and it won't ever turn back on. Restart is the only option... Alternatively the mac will sometimes just freeze and I can't move the cursor or type at all. Booted into BOOTCAMP partition and that freezes as well.
So, now I have bought a new Solid State Drive and done a fresh install of Snow Leopard. About 5 seconds in and it froze again - so I restarted - and about 20 mins later the Airport Utility did the same issue, dropped the wifi and wouldn't turn back on after I turn it off.
Reset PRAM, Airport Utility did the same again. So far, touch wood, only the one freeze since the new HHD and PRAM reset...
ANY IDEAS AT ALL WHAT THE HECK THIS CAN BE? It is SO annoying I have been scouting the net but can't see an obvious solution. I have however been shocked at sooooo many cases similar to this with the Macbooks...
Thanks guysYes it will work just fine. I sell and set them up quite a bit with both PC's and Macs.
All N routers at the moment are all based on draft N protocol, even Apple's own Airport routers. So the Belkin N+ will work at N speeds if you set it to N mode only. Ofcourse for broad compatibility with all sorts of WiFi devices it is best to leave it in mixed mode.
For some background, i have used all sorts of makes of routers from Compaq/TrendNet (favourite)/Microsoft/Netgear (current favourite)/Dlink...and so on over the years, NOT any issues.
Apple's Airport extreme base stations (which are still draft N) aren't any more compatible than a Netgear or Belkin N router.
