MacBook Pro :: Heating Up Every Time Play Grid?
Sep 5, 2014
Grid is a race game that you can buy off of the app store and i bought it thinking my macbook would not act the way it did. The game downloads and i start to play it. After about 2 minuets, the fans kick on and get incredibly loud as the macbook starts to heat up. Whenever i play it, i make sure that all the other applications are closed and that the quality is at the very lowest that it can be at. Still does the same thing. Why is this happening and is there a way i can get it to stop the computer from overheating to the point that the fans get so loud?

I have a rev B MBA, which is gorgeous but I have found myself using it less than any other Laptop I've ever had and it is simply due to two reasons:
- Heat, pretty much anything except simple browsing raise the heat
- Battery time, simply lousy (including charge time)
Have had it for a while, 14 months, but at this point I have started looking at the 13 and 15 inch versions as replacements down the road. I thought it would make a great compliment to the imac but due to the limitations above I use it less and less. If only they had added a fraction of an inch of thickness to allow better heat handling and more battery.

My Air has been running slower than it used to and the fan comes on more often. I've been using Activity Monitor to see what's going on and it looks as though Safari is the most likely culprit as resource hog. Now I'm running Firefox and I'm not having the same problem (so far). Does anyone have any experience with this? I've only been noticing the problem for the past few months and I've always used Safari.

Fan gets to 6,500 RPMs within 10 to 15 minutes of use. It mosty happen when I am connected to internet. I used to think, the Youtube / Flash does it. But even after disabling Flash, it spins to 6,500 with usual ferver. I have tried You tube HTML 5 version , no effect.
Apart from disabling Flash, I do not wjat else to do. All normal humans have to go to net!

As I play some games, the CPU's temperature gets around 70 Celsius (160 or 170 in Fahrenheit). Fans are around 6k RPM (playing The Sims 3 on Windows 7 Professional, using Everest Ultimate Edition for monitoring). I just wonder if it's ok or not to be like that. BTW, should I put on the hard case while playing? And can someone give some advice for playing games on the MBP?

I'm using Safari 5.0.2. Lately every time I use Safari at some point during usage when I try to open a new tab or window I cannot do so. What happens is the new tab appears but the website I want opens in one of my other tabs already open. or it will fail to load in the new tab/window. At the same time as this happening Safari is crashing more and more and my Macbook fan is whirring like mad.
Any ideas what's going on? It's so frustrating having to get chucked out or log out to make my tabs work for a short while before they stop functioning properly again.
I am not overly tecchy minded so may need hand holding to help me through this!

I bought a 13" uMBP pretty much as soon as they came out.
I am now noticing heat in the power pack - so hot I'm barely able to hold it once it has been plugged in for, say, 15 mins.
I also think that the battery is now getting uncomfortably warm in a way it wasn't initially, although nowhere near the temperature of the power pack.
Has anyone else experienced this or heard any reports of similar incidences?

I am aware of the heating up of the new iMacs and how they get quite hot. Mine however heats up to about 60?C (140?F) in about 10 mins with only safari running. Now i don't think this is normal even for them, is anyone having this problem, is it actually normal or do i have an especially hot iMac.

Is there a way to make the size of the application grid bigger when clicking on my applications folder from the dock so that it doesn't have to say "x more in finder"?

I am looking for a FREE program that I can grid a few pictures with. I would love the grid to be 1 mm x 1 mm if possible? If not, then just a grid would be great.

Ok , Before when I had my custom built rig I never really noticed it, since I had proper cooling.
However my wife started complaining to her that her Acer laptop gets very hot in Windows 7 and sometimes shuts off. Now that I got bootcamp windows 7, I experience a great amount of heat from the part of the mac close to the screen. Why is this happening? IS there any way to solve the issue, I'm even afraid to start playing any games.

The issue i've been having - which i'll do my best to explain! - is when i load pages in safari, their always off grid..(??)For instance; there will be say, 3 columns but 2 of the columns have started to overlapp?! So basically if i'm reading a news article, all the ads down the side will cover up pretty much everyline so i can't read it. If it's boxes, sometimes a few have shifted and there's only half a picture or half a video.. It's a tedious problem but totally irritating! It never used to be like that and i don't think i've even changed anything! It's probably something really simple, i just don't know how to fix it

I'm using Leopard and just reformatted my macbook. Whenever I drop an icon into the finder window the icon get placed wherever I drop it instead of being placed alphabetically. I can go to view>clean up, and it fixes it but I want it to go back to where it always just did it.
Also, the icons do not increase or decrease columns when I make the finder window larger or smaller, it just always stays at 3 columns.

Ok so I understand how to change the grid spacing as shown above, but what have I set it to? What is the default. and what is the actual pixel spacing? I need to know this as I use an applescript that places the icon/folders on the desktop in a spaced format. If they loose there position the clean up function messes them up.

Is there a way to reduce the size of icons, in a folder's panel shown in the Dock? What I mean is this: The icons in the Dock itself are okay, but when I click on the Apps folder which is standing in the Dock, its content is shown as a huge panel of large icons. The icon size is exagerated to my taste. I didn't found any options about this, in the Dock preferences control panel. Can we change the icon size there?

For some reason my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.4) is showing a transparency grid behind almost every PDF when using the Preview Application, making it almost impossible to read the content.
I find no way to turn this feature off..

In iPhoto (and I believe the previous iTunes) you are able to change the background color for the grid view from white to black. Is there any way to do so in iTunes 10?
