My MacBook charger heats up, is it ok?

• MacBook Pro heats up during charging

  Hi guys,.

  So I'm planning to buy a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2012 ", but when I went to see the macbook, I noticed the connector magsafe and the upper left part of the macbook gets pretty heated during loading (even with the computer at idle, but on screen)." Is this normal for MacBook?

  Also I noticed that the number of battery cycle was 24, which I thought was surprisingly low for a macbook from 2012. But when I asked the seller on the subject, he said that the macbook was made in 2014, even though the model is mid-2012. Is this true, Apple makes the mid-2012 version of MBP 15 "in 2014? or do you think that the battery may have been replaced?

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated since I don't have much experience with the Mac. Thanks in advance.

  No 2012-retina MBP 15 "has been abandoned by Apple in October 2013.

  24 cycles for any MBP plus 1 year would be extraordinary in my view (unless the battery has been replaced).

  The connection of the charger to the MBP shouldn't receive warm while in use.

  Looking for an another MBP.

  Ciao.

• MacBook charger problem

  I have a macbook Pro retina, mid-2012, which has developed a charging problem.

  The load is around 14% and menu of the top indicates that the load. However, light 2 MagSafe is completely turned off, and when he drops by 14%, is not increase either.

  I tried a SMC reset without success. When he starts everything first (before) the battery shows 100%, but drops to 14 percent when it is connected.

  There is no debris around the connections and cables are in good condition. Socket is very stable.

  Any idea what's going on?

  Thank you

  It looks like a SMC problem. I would try to do the reset a few times more. Back in the way to be 100% on a reset SMC is by disconnecting the battery and by him plugging. If you have a local computer, small repair shop they can-off for free or cheap.

  Best,

• Charger MacBook caught fire

  He is currently 04:34 here in England, I was just awake through my fire alarm going off. The cause? My MacBook charger has somehow caught fire and burned the Office on what it is. Fortunately enough, I was able to turn off before that something serious has happened, but I wonder how it happened and if she won't happen again?

  I did have this current MacBook for too long and this charging cable was the original that was in the box.

  Please put out the fire. This isn't a problem, we can solve. You must put out the fire.

  If it is in warranty Apple will replace it free of charge. If she is no longer under warranty, then you can buy a replacement from Apple charger.

• MacBook Air does not illuminate

  SO this is what happened: the night before my laptop was working fine. The battery at the time was about 20%. I turned off. The next morning I tried to turn it on, but she didn't only turn on. I tried to plug my charger but the "light" is not getting switched on. Interestingly, other chargers when plugged into my MacBook charger light was perpetually green, he didn't turn orange as it normally should. I tried to use any combination of keys offered online to put on the MacBook Air, but nothing helped. Service centres are two hours away and want to avoid as much as possible. So any suggestions to have my MacBook Air to work would be very appreciated. Thank you!

  Also this MacBook was purchased in may 2015 and outside the warranty period

• MacBook pro fans

  I have problems with my macbook pro heater. I downloaded an app on the app store, which gives me the internal temperature of the motherboard and the battery.

  the battery temperature is read correctly, but the motherboard temp is reading 32 degrees fahrenheit.  I am abroad and cannot get to a store mac until November. SO my question is, is it possible to manually get fans on (more timed not ONLY) via an apple store app or trusted third party app that you are aware of until I can get this problem looked at.  I work with a 2012 end retina pro macbook 13-inch.   Thank you.

  OS X El Capitan has introduced significant changes and rigorous in what apps can and can not extract the system. Accordingly, most temperature utilities do NOT work correctly or have NOT been updated for compatibility on model. Their reading is incorrect. The only utility I found so far to be up-to-date and give you access to the plethora of sensors is Menus Bjango iStat. Not free, but they give you a trial period of 15 days.

  Regarding the temperature of the room, my CPU cores and the GPU are run to 135F, 98F battery and fans move at about 2500 RPM. When the Mac is quite cool, the minimum speed is 1990 RPM. This is entirely consistent with how it should work.  It's a Mid-2015 15 "MBP retina. Your Council of 32F temp (freezing point of water) may not be correct.

  I suggest download iStat and run in its trial period so that you get the correct data. And let the cool Mac himself without help. As long as the side and rear vents are not clogged, it does a very good job to control its internal time. You worry if it reaches or exceeds 100 ° C/212F on the CPU as the threshold after which it stops as a measure of protection. At that time there fans will scream at their speed of 6000 RPM max.

• WiFi drops (DNS) when charger is connected

  Hello

  Whenever I plug my charger on my Macbook Air 11 '', my fair blocks Wifi. Not only on my macbook, but on everything. It's sort of something to the router. I have no idea what. I had my ISP mechanic come over a few times to check if it's something on their side, but it is not. I can not find similar problems on the net. And I've checked everything. All settings are good. But only when I plug in my MacBook charger, it messes with my router and all of a sudden he says "Resolving host" and the DNS is lost. Even tried using different open DNS addresses. Nothing helps.

  The magsafe becomes openly warm? You can use this mac/systems/power on off button to see what voltage it is putting out. Should not be more 12500MV.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203207 you can also try a SMC reset.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295

• Can I use the mini iPad charger brick 4 10W to recharge my iPhone 6 s?

  I just upgraded my mini iPad to 4 and it comes with a larger loading brick - it looks like a mini MacBook charger block and is labeled as 10W. Is this compatible / safe to use to recharge my iPhone 6 s?  I wouldn't mess up one or the other. In addition, can I charge my iPad mini 4 with standard chargers for iPhone 6s, 6, etc.?

  Yes and Yes.

• Proposal of travel charger

  I'm leaving a good amount, on different continents and countries. I love the kit of travel Macbook charger with the cards I need. However, I often end up wrestling with the limited number of electrical outlets and would like to have a combination of a macbook charger, ipad and iphone.

  So here is my rather trivial idea, WHICH IS by the PRESENT DIVULGUE LOAD for UNIMITED FREE USE:

  Do a combination of special travel charger, which charges all of the above. Essentially, it could be a small Macbook air, with 2 USB ports included, travel charger so that I could connect 2 iphones or iphone 1 and 1 ipad at the same time. It doesn't have to be a very fast load; Typically, even a slow charge works very well at night. The size should not increase since the Macbook air travel charger.

• Charger iPad Pro

  HY

  I asked this Question some time ago, and it bothered me so far.

  Question: Could charge you your iPad Pro ore same iPhon with the Macbook Charger 12 "?

  Basically I tested it. First with an older iPhone 4S - no problem

  Then with a 6Plus iPhon - no problem

  Then with the 6s iPhone-no problem

  Then with the iPad Pro - no problem

  Is anyone out there who is able to confirm that there is no "damage"? long

  Thank you

  All devices of Apple lithium batteries self-regulate their State of charge.  They will not charge to exceed the limits in their firmware. So even if a power supply exceeds the necessary current to the load, they no longer use that they are programmed to use.  So as long as a power supply is the supply voltage and at least the minimum required current, the device will be fine.  That's why you can recharge an iPhone with a charger for the iPad, but not the reverse, or why an iPad charged that very slowly on the USB port of the computer because the current is much lower than what it can use (and is ideally designed to use).

  So make sure that the charger is off + 5 volts (the charger Pro for the iPad itself is estimated at 5.2V) and 2.4 + amps your iPad Pro will load very although she will not accept up to 2.4amps little important how much more your power goes out.  If you use a 5v supply that puts less than 2.4amps, the iPad can still collect but more slowly (or it on at the same time, maybe not at all as it may need draw battery power just to keep the screen).

• ACER ASPIRE E15 E5 - 571G does not charge when you play.

  Acer aspire e15 e5 - 571 g. When I play games with the plugin from HQ. It suddenly stopped charging. Power and charge LED flashing LIGHT. and when I try to play without battery only HQ of the laptop is suddenly shutsdown. but when normal im use fees normally. Please, someone knows how to solve this problem.

  It is not do immediately, but after you've played for a while right?

  You use a lot of battery power and charger heat when it loads at full power

  For a long time. As it is too hot it starts decrease amount of current continuous puts it.

  What you see is the default of shipper. You must find a way of cooling of the device when you play for a long time. You can also get a new charger. It wouldn't surprise me if that one has already suffered some damage. Not getting does not load can also damage the laptop.

• MacBook pro 2015 Diode, heating problems

  Hello

  I just bought a MacBook pro 2015, one with 2.8 GHZ, 16 GB RAM and ITB Flash. [old just four days]

  The question being, the first day of the machine as well as the charger were burning Red hot when I loaded for the first time, in subsequent attempts, heating got sorted out by itself.

  Nevertheless, I had installed the temperature gauge in the machine, I look one only a few videos YouTube youtube and navigation.

  Once in every two hours a message like

  The led O GPU temperature is 106 degrees, closing applications.

  Once I click on the tool, the temperature is now reset to 30 ° C. It seems that the temperature of the Diode is to reach 106 degrees, some app is closed (no one knows the tabs I have open in Safari are works well) and then it resets.

  Is it really a problem with the thermal conductive paste or a faulty diode.

  I go to the Apple store this Saturday? Can I return the laptop and request a new or a full refund.

  Can someone please advice?

  If you bought Apple with the last 14 days, you can return it for a full refund.

  Then you can buy a new one.

  What about Apple and they can exchange it without having to go the way of reimbursement.

• 13 "Macbook Pro retina heats up on the bridge and google maps satellite

  Hello!

  I have a 13 "Macbook Pro retina

  I noticed that when using google satellite view maps (no matter if in Safari or another browser) my Mac begins to quickly heat up to 102 degrees Celsius (I use https://www.seense.com/menubarstats/ to measure the speed of the CPU temp and fan, but even without any application, you can easily feel the high temp and hear the blowing fan) the fan also starts to blow at maximum speed. When I left the site everything returns to normal.

  Same thing happens when I discover the overpass in Maps.app. When I left the temperature goes down to normal.

  I can compare the situation with my MacBook Air a years more and I have none of these problems in this regard. Strange that both Mac have only the Integrated GPU. No idea what may cause heat upward? Dealing with the satellite or view 3d demanding for rMBP but not for the older MBA buildings? Both on the latest version of the model

  Thank you!
