Overheating Mac HELP!

Last week my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012) [2.9 GHz processor intel core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 storage] began to overheat, and I mean true hot. He was always really warm but never hot to the touch and the fan has been running high recently. Also, after I load 100% complete and disconnect my Mac can't hold his usual battery life. What happens to my baby? I do not do heavy work or have all the apps that can cause my Mac to panic, so this is not the case. I'm just a student, written tests and the usual thing. I tried to do a reset SMC, which doesn't seem to work, I left my mac die completely, and then reconnect and try - does not change. IM really stressed because I can't afford another computer. and I haven't had it very long. Help, please!

I have a feeling it might be the new update of El Capitan because since my Mac has been burn me.

What is the number of cycles on the battery?

What are the time and the speed of the fan when it is hot and which is using CPU?

Install a temp and fan speed monitoring app like iStat or Mac Fan Control.

Go to Activity Monitor and watch the CPU tab. Make sure that the given, all processes are selected.

    I read everything first through the wire and determine if your laptop would benefit some of the suggestions, rather that just install the fan controller and forget the rest.

  • Linksys WRT160N V2 Mac help?

    I came down for the summer at home with my parents and it seems that they have disconnected the router that I put in place around Christmas time last year - and now I forgot the password. I know that the password for the WiFi network general, but I don't remember what I put for access network (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is there a way to reset it? My parents have a ye olde Mac Tiger and refuse to upgrade. Nevertheless, I have a WRT160N and when I go to use the installation/setup disk it always comes back with something in the sense of "I'm sorry, we can not recognize your gateway" or something like that. I've tried everything I can for the past hour and have no idea what I'm doing wrong (when it asks for a password to the beginning of the month I do not always do anything, I click on the "I won't need this" (or whatever he said, I took a break and decided to ask for help).) I think what happened is that when my parents or the person abducted the router, the computer is now looking for the original (which I have no idea as to why). I hooked everything exactly the way the software says (ethernet to PC, internet to the router to the Modem, etc.) ... still nothing. Can anyone help?

    Nevermind, I ended up unplugging the modem ! Then I googled after the modem restarted, it was fine then. Good luck to anyone having this problem!

  • Micro USB, first cs5 on mac help

    Hello

    I tried to respond for a while and have found none. My Microsoft LifeChat lx-3000 will not work with premiere pro. It does not work on mac and Final cut... but the final cut is terrible and I would like to register first.

    Things I've done:

    1. go to the first pro > Preferences > audio hardwear

    -In this menu, I chose the "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 ' as default device

    -in the Audio mix 'Touch', I changed 'Audio 3' click the Microphone button and nothing happened, when I pass the entrance to ' built in ' the Prime Minister recognizes the built in mic and allows me to record using this... but what a sound really bad.

    2. I also went to utilities > Configuration Audio and Midi

    -Here I have chosen the Premeir Pro cs5 and checked the box next to the "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 ' to indicate that the Prime Minister would use this device.

    -does not work always and every time I open the audio and Midi, the box next to "microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" is unchecked... don't know why it won't save.

    I'm a loser, if anyone has any suggestions or has addressed this problem I'd buy some... If this has already been replicated in another thread, point me in the direction!

    Thanks for your time, everyone!

    Hi Willis, I'm back from lunch.

    1, the screenshots here, so that instructions can vary, because I'm 1 worm. different from you; that is, 10.6.8 and CS5.5. However, I don't think it's really important.

    2nd, I copy and paste my notes... I like caps for my personal notes, so all caps doesn't mean anything to these instructions.

    3rd, where instructions said 'MAC PRO' right under your laptop.

    OK... These are the interfaces you have to deal with:

    -MAC PRO > SYSTEM PREFERENCES > SOUND > INPUT (INCL. VOL. SETTING.)

    -MAC PRO > SYSTEM PREFERENCES > SOUND > OUTPUT

    -ADOBE PREM PRO > PREFERENCES > AUDIO HARDWARE

    -ADOBE PREM PRO > AUDIO MIXER PANEL > FLYOUT MENU > METER INPUTS ONLY

    -ADOBE PREM PRO > AUDIO MIXER PANEL > RESPECTIVE TRACK.

    TRACK CHANNEL INPUT DROP DOWN MENU > INPUT SOURCE

    Reboot OK, just for the heck of it.

    Make sure that your usb headset is plugged.

    We will set up your audio files to use the microphone to the headphones input, but the speakers on your laptop for the output. I think it could avoid potential problems.

    With your wired microphone, open your mac system preferences and select the "Sound" pane

    Now, select the entry and make sure your microphone is selected as the input source.

    Here, I have the M-Audio selected, you select your microphone, but it manifests itself.

    Run the volume slider up to about 3/4 (you can change it later if you wish.

    Now select the tab 'Exit' at the top of the window. Select your internal speakers

    on your laptop. Note: you can try the helmet later if you want, but for now use the speakers

    on your laptop. Run the volume up to about 3/4: this volume can also be adjusted by the volume keys on

    your keyboard. When finished, close the OS system prefs.

    Now open Pro Prem. and create a new project.

    When appears in the new project dialog box, select the general tab at the top and the last menu drop-down

    Choose DV and click on the OK button at the bottom.

    The sequence settings dialog box will appear, these parameters are important and may be at the root of the audio problems.

    I believe you said you wanted only to record the audio so I don't take into account all the video settings...

    With the "séquence Presets" tab at the top selected... expand the "DV-NTSC" options and select 'Standard 48 kHz '.

    Now, select the 'Settings' tab at the top of the box.

    In the section "Audio" box, make sure "48000 Hz" is selected in the

    drop-down menu.

    Now select the "Titles" tab at the top of the box.

    Because the microphone of the headset is probably mono, we want to create at least a mono track (that you want to save to) and 1 or two stereo tracks. If you try to save a stereo track from a mono microphone, directly, you will get the reading by a single speaker (IE a single channel).

    So, now you are in the track options. In the Audio category, doing 'Master' stereo the value in the drop-down list box. It may be already there, it's the default value according to me. Next to Mono, click and make one. Next to the stereo, click and 2 tracks. Click OK at the bottom of the box.

    Premium Pro should open completely and all of your dashboard is displayed.

    Go to the preferences of Prem, and then select the 'Audio' options.

    Select your usb microphone in the menu drop-down default device. My example below

    my M-Audio has selected

    Press the SHIFT + 6 keys to display the Audio Mixer Panel if it is not already visible.

    You should have 1 mono track and two track stereo (my pic shows 3 stereo, below)

    Above the mono track, click the microphone icon bit, it should turn red, showing that you have enabled

    the track for the record.

    Now, there should be a drop down menu under the button pan for the mono track. Click on it and

    Make sure that your usb microphone is enabled.

    Now, go up the right corner of the audio mixer Panel and click the little box with lines ("drop").

    In the drop-down menu, select "entries only.

    Now, you should be good to go, tap your microphone or speak into it to see if the meter mono track is sound recording.

    Click on the Red record button at the bottom of the Mixer Panel, then click the play button to the left of the record button. The read head must start moving through your timeline and record the sound.

    Let me know if you have trouble. I'll try to help. Good luck Willis.

  • The difficulty to restore my factory settings mac HELP!

    I can't restore settings macbook pro. I followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdzefnG2fls), but I now get the same popup "this article is temporarily unavailable. "Please try again later '. Can someone please help!

    How do you think the pop-up?

    Never mind, I guess that's when you try to download the operating system after opening a session with your AppleID.

    Your AppleID is associated with the purchase/download this OS?

    There is an alternative, to make a USB bootable installed with DiskMakerX. You can now start in this rather the the recovery partition.
