2012 the MacBook Air running hot and slow
After about 20 minutes using my 2012 MacBook Air gets very hot and the cooling fan starts to operate at full speed. At the same time, it slows down considerably. Is this a sign that the battery must be replaced (anyone know the approximate cost to do this?)? However, I have no problem to recharge the battery and it seems to work for a reasonable period between charges.

Whenever I'm on Facebook or Tumblr, my MacBook freezes and runs hot and slow, eventually freezing. He also began to overheat, with maximum speed cooling fan and battery drainage. This only happens when I'm on these two sites since it rolls when they are not open. There is no problem in loading the computer or using other programs and Web sites.
These issues have started only very recently, in the last week or so. What is strange is that for a number of programs or open tabs does not seem to cause problems, but once I open Facebook or Tumblr, the computer becomes overloaded (even if there are no other programs running outside of Safari and they are only two tabs open). Even YouTube does not cause the same effect.
Help is very appreciated!
MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Hey there!
What browser do you use? I had some problems of my own with Tumblr, Google Chrome, and power draining eventually led me to dump Chrome when I realized it was hogging all my resources. I recommend also to configure tumblr to show you your dashboard in the pages of 10 to 15 positions rather than scroll without end - in this way, he does try to keep everything loaded at the same time.
You can also see your Mac activity monitor while you use these sites to get a better idea of how the power of the computer's processor and RAM are handling activity.

Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)
Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?
Thank you.
Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the
all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements
Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.
Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery
where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining
and expected full load capacity?
I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive
is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space
for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.
Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check
in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.
A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.
Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides
the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

includes everything in the MacBook Air; brightness, audio volume, so the screen
the use of Wi - Fi, other applications that run in the background; also the antivirus or other
analysis software running needlessly in the background, using cycles CPU. The
battery may be getting a workout. More so, if you run games or any other active content.
You could look at the activity monitor to check the different points under your control
who may be using resources; all this that consume energy are suspect. Some of them are
more in your control than others. the system manages several outside of your access.
An Etrecheck report generated when the unit is running under the battery and another

There is also perhaps adware or other software that affect the performance of the Mac;

M4: Regulation of the CPU power and fan - tablet is running hot and noisy
My M4 is running hot and and the frequent active noisy fan in the normal power setting. This allows to improve some during the definition of the maximum energy saving options: battery life. But still the fan starts running and short relatively frequent. The fan noise is high enough to be quite irritating in a quiet environment.
Is this normal?
Also my M4 allows on occations to memorize the fan.
Cpu temperature drops from 58 to about 44 C after awhile, but the fan still works.
However, if I go on hold for 1 second and back, fan control is reset and the fan turns off.
Yourself or others behave the same?Conditions are improving a little tuning down the cpu down voltage using hardware control (NHC) Notebook

Hello
If the operating temperature of the machine goes upward, so that the cooling fan turns on.
Many parts for example produce a lot of heat from the graphics card.
In addition the CPU temperature increases if many processes are running in the context of the operating system or if you are working with programs (i.e. playing games).
If you have a laptop computer with a processor that is hot much faster one and then another, it must be cooled more often.
You can believe me :) It's not a fault!If you wish, you can try changing the cooling method parameter in Toshiba power saver utility.
Best regards

Hi jpjones2,
It worked before? If so, I suggest restarting the base station AirPort, Mac and the Photosmart. Then test it again. Ensure that the Photosmart works well autonomous - try printing a copy on the device.
Is only the failing printing and analysis very well? Or you are not able to install the device on your Mac at all?
Already check the Photosmart is connected to your network and has received an IP address?

Means that your mouths and radiator has more than dust on them and the fan does not work correctly. You have to disassemble and clean the fan and vents to let him work again properly.

I bought a disc of Lightroom6 for Mac. Can I use the license even om my two ibooks and iMacs at the same time? Given that the macbook air doesn't have a hard drive, is it possible to copy on a USB drive?
You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

Should I buy the MacBook Air 13 (Early 2015)?
Hello everyone.
I currently own a Chromebook, product that I hope, I sell to help me get the MacBook Air 13. The purpose of the switch is the requirement for me to have a computer (with an operating system in its own right) that I can use for computer science stuff. However, I'm worried about the MacBook Air 13 (Early 2015; the 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD model) is how obsolete, and its durability. I not looking for a laptop that will last me a year and performance degradation that are present or any downgrade of the user experience. I expect a computer that will give me at least 3 years of service and still work without any problems (excluding the damage caused to the user, but assume that I am a responsible person).
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos
I bought my current computer in 2012: it is a basic model of MacBook Air mid-2012 (4GB / 128GB) now running the current OS 10.11.6 and is now 4 years old and works as if it were new.

Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.
