MacBook air 13 inch 2014 i5 4 GB ram extreme of heating is safe?

Okay so here's the deal I started to play games on my macbook air call of duty mw2 and assassins creed brotherhood/ac1. But as soon as I start playing games it starts to heat up like crazy! like seriously sure can't touch even this side of my laptop when its hot s near the hinges under it, and on the upper left side!

So it's good for me to continue using it as playing games please help it will not harm my battery or sth something?

I even updated to the new operating system OS x capitan

PS Sorry for the bad English

It is normal for the computer to heat to the top/fans run all playing intensive computer games, but it is not hot enough to burn you.

If you fear that the computer gets too hot, you can take the device to an Apple Store and have them run a diagnostic equipment.

My computer gets hot enough while playing the games as well, but I just do not touch the hot parts. Make sure that you are in a well ventilated area. Also never play games or use the computer on your lap/bed/pillow/etc.. as they could block the ventilation on the computer areas.

  • How to upgrade the system to accommodate the photoshop CC 2015 on Macbook Air (11 inch, 2011)?

    Hello, I bought recently just Photoshop CC for my Macbook Air (11 inch, 2011) and he said that it is currently impossible with the requirements of system programs. How do I get it on my computer?

    The system requirements are OS x 10.9 and 10.10. You must upgrade or settle for 2014 CC or earlier.  I would say 10.9, 10.10 has problems with many Mac owners.

    Here's how to get previous version, if you don't want to update OSX

  • Shooting Logicboard - Apple MacBook Air 13.3 (2014)

    Hi there, my MacBook Air 13.3 (2014) simply renounced me. The problem started with it all of a sudden crashing while I was working on a presentation. Took it to an Apple authorized service provider and they ran a diagnostic. He was fine after that. Several days ago it happened again. Taken in, and this time they said that the logicboard needs to be replaced. Cost is MYR1500 (approximately USD350) and has only 90 days of warranty on it. My Apple care expired a few weeks earlier. I did a search within our community of Apple and it seems that MacBook Air that year has this problem (worth about 5 pages of comments from the community). Apple plans to do something about it? A reminder is needed. Isn't it?

    You have to ask Apple. It is primarily a site for user support, in which the participation of Apple is very limited.

  • MacBook Air 13 inch screen keyboard brands

    I just bought a macbook air for the College and as anyone who has already purchased an expensive product, I want to take good care of it, then it will last me a good amount of time (at least until I've finished law school). After some research on the web, it has come to my attention that the keyboard can scratch the screen when the laptop is a full backpack (quite a typical scenario in the lives of students). Should I put a cloth Microfiber between the keyboard and the screen when I close the laptop or should I invest in a screen protector or is my stupid just afraid with no. anchor in reality? Thank you in advance!

    Do not use Palm or Cap covers on a MacBook Pro with Retina - Apple Support display here, is what Apple thinks about it actually, I guess that the cloth would increase the pressure and it can cause more damage, especially if it's the MacBook Air. And I also think that a cheap and quality product should not damaged so easily. Worry is not about this, your MacBook is self-sufficient

  • Scrapie to screen in my MacBook Air end of 2014 after its withdrawal from full charge

    I'm so attached to my MacBook Air! Even if someone gives me a version of more high end MacBook Pro in Exchange for him I wouldn't accept it!

    Today, what happened was that I had my responsible MacBook about 4 to 5 hours, connected to the megsafe 2

    After I took it off charge I turned on and it is ultra slow! He was eventually slow! Later I got so tense and restarted!

    Once he turned back to the screen works glitter too and he said some safeboot in red color at the top bar for 2 seconds on the login screen

    I almost started crying because it was heavy flickering of the screen and I really didn't want anyone to unscrew my MacBook Air baby! :/

    Later, I turned it off and felt sad for a while and after 20 minutes I tried to turn it on and it worked absolutely fine!

    Now I am typing this message from my MacBook Air

    So, I just wanted to know if this issue would persist or come back again later at any time?

    A lot of laptops could come could go, but this one is my love! So I don't want to lose! Pls tell me if it is a serious problem or that would not come again!

    Thanks in advance

    It is normal that the screen is flashing in safe mode, which is what happens when the SHIFT key is pressed during startup. Just restart as usual, does not hold all keys.

  • VMware Fusion 5 crash on OS ML 10.8.1 Macbook Air 13 inch Mid 2012

    Hi Vmware community!

    I had Vmware Fusion 4 with two Virtual Machines (12 Ubuntu and Windows 2000), my system runs OS Mountain Lion 10.8.1 in my Mac Book Air 13 mid 2012.  I installed the latest version of Vmware Fusion 5 evaluation (it automatically uninstalled the previous version) and when I boot my Windows 2000 VM is crushed by the system. The only way to regain control of the system is the power button. This ocours always when I try to start this virtual machine. The 12 Ubuntu VM works very well.

    I want to buy this version of Vmware, but this crucial issue.

    Thank you in advance, I have attached the log files.

    To work around the problem, try changing the runtime preferred virtual machine ' Intel VT-x/EPT. '
