MacBook Getting hot Anyone can get me some type of information. I bought my laptop more than a month ago which I paid more than what it is now. Anyway, after a month I have white screen windows and had it fixed. Before that problem my Macbook gets hotter after 2 hrs. I am worried if my laptop would explode suddenly or burnt for that reason, or mess up my macbook that I just bought. Any resolution? Is this ever happen to anyone?

Something is causing your processor to run when it shouldn't, perhaps. I had the same issue, and found that I had an unfinished print job running in the background that was causing my processor to run hot. I found that this is an issue particularly with Canon MP printers running with a Mac. I simply went into the print jobs and deleted the unfinished job - and all went back to normal. If that doesn't work, download a little utility called "activity monitor". This will put a little icon in your top menu bar that will show exactly what is causing your processor to get so hot ... this utility will also tell you if it's something other than your processor. Hope that helps. Something is causing your processor to run when it shouldn't, perhaps.

Mr. Anderson, Thank you for your respond, I haven't connect my laptop through the printer. I try the "activity monitor" you mentioned. I appreciate your reply.

I haven't noticed any overheating. I've got a retina MB Pro with an SSD, and it always seems to run cool unless I'm doing video work or something heavily processor intensive... which I'm usually plugged in for, and not working out of the case. The inside of the case is constructed of some sort of mesh fabric, which may also be adding to its perceived breathability.

Absolutely no overheating, all the normal vents are open and there is no noticeable increase in temperature over a naked MacBook Air. Certainly no "extra" fan noise or any unexpected shutdowns.

Not sure I can help. Works very well with MacBook Pro 9bought in 2012). Its plugged in all day...no overheating issues. Best of luck!

I don't do much on my 2012 Macbook Air to generate a lot of heat, but when that does happen, as soon as I plug this fan in, my laptop cools down within a few minutes. This response is in reference to the padded version.

I've had it overheat and the battery is better than average but not as good as my old MacBook air. Most of my use is when plugged in.

NO! My Apple lap top crashed and burned a month after I bought is and I could not find anyone that would or could fix it! Garbage!

The MacBook Air gets slightly warm in rear mid-section, where the pencil-sized battery is located. You can also feel a little warmth at the top of the keyboard if you seek it out. I would not put it on my bare upper legs if I were wearing shorts, but have no problem sitting it in my lap. My comparisons would be 12 years of PowerBooks and MacBook Pros, which definitely got warmer.James Fallows at "The Atlantic" keeps a journal about his experiences with his MacBook Air. Also, check out David Pogue at the NYT and Walt Mossberg at AllThingsD for their opinions. But, remember, most people have had their MBAs only since March or April. This is such a new product that one must decide to be something of a guinea pig. The MacBook Air gets slightly warm in rear mid-section, where the pencil-sized battery is located.

Did you do the recommended complete drain and fully recharge method they recommended. If you have the same macbook pro I have it has been a power hog from the start. I just bought a new battery, it last only about an hour and a half, that is with all the power saving options turned on. Also the display turned down. My battery never lasted very long even when new.

Mine arrived fully charged from the seller, and it worked instantly. I have an '07 MB and it is in great shape. I would call Apple Support @ 800-275-2273 and ask them if your computer may have a faulty wiring or charging problem. If they can't help, you may want to respond to the seller and ask to return it. Perhaps buy another one from another seller. Good luck.

Haven't had that, but after 3 months Lenovo says my hard drive went out and has to be replaced. I lost everything on it and it has to be sent in for repairs. I am never buying a windows machine again. My MacBook has been going strong for 4 years.

Hello Jason, I purchased this item a few months back. Make sure you have a Thunderbolt connection not a Mac Display, they look and fit similar. As for your question, it will warm up as any device , but the construction of cool metal keeps it normal. I have not heard of it doing loud noises but hmm to let you know its operating. I'm pleased with this model and it's doing what I need it to do which is save my files and get them quickly when I need them. I hope my information helped you make a decision. Good Luck. Robert

I don't have an idea which region of Mac gets heated up. But I can say it should work, because the way that this cooler works is, it takes/absorbs the heat coming from the bottom of the laptop and does not allow the keyboard and laptop mouse region to become overheated. The laptop remains warm even if it was used for a long time and been busy with several things going on. Hope it works for you too.

This will not stop your mac from heating up. This is just a stand hold the mac instead of putting it on your desk flat. It is a space saver. Also have been told that by closing your mac you close the vents on it and also turns off the main GPU. Your best thing to do is buy a stand with fans on it to help cool it down.

I have a white Macbook circa 2008. It had 2GB. I replaced the two 1GB's with a 4GB and a 2GB. This was back in December 2012. I've got 6GB confirmed. It's worked fine ever since. No problems whatsoever.

I installed the 500 G into my 2008 MacBook Pro on 3/28/12. It's quiet, fast, and has been excellent. Zero problems. I use the MBP every day running the battery (replaced once) down to 6-15% watching a movie in the evening. AC during the day for full recharge. Does the HD run all the time? I really don't know. I can't hear it. I have four 500 G externals that are used for backups (but not often enough :-( ). They are WD devices and I've have no problems with them either. I like the 500 size over any T sizes for reasons of redundancy. I double info onto the 500s, i.e. two 500s for the same back-up, thus if one goes down, I have a dupe. More than you wanted to know.
