Problems of heat with the mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15-inch with retina display

MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015). 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 | OS X El Capitan (10.11.3) | 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 | Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB | 251 GB of Flash storage

My 2006 13 "MacBook White would get really hot on my knees if I was using the DVD player.

Since then, my new MacBook Pro has no disc hard turns and no great, should I feel any heat at all?

There is an old rule to never put your laptop on your lap, because it may damage your skin. I wonder if the new MacBook Pro will become warmer over time, or if I can expect to not feel high heat.

Is there a range?

I did have the machine long enough to say that I have done the troubleshooting steps.

The DVD player is not the primary heat generator, the CPU/GPU are the creators of the heat.  When you use resources intensive applications, you can expect your MBP become very hot.  Video, Skype, games, etc., are applications that will make the CPU/GPU heat, reaching temperatures in the range of 90 ° c.

You should expect at a temperature between 40 ° c to 50 ° c when running during 'normal' light applications such as text editing and browsing the web.

Ciao.

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro won't start every 2 weeks, need to restore from a backup.

    Hello all, big problem, Apple says that it is not material (although I'm not sure), but if not, then there must be some sort of conflict between my installed software and the new model of MacBook Pro mid-2015. Help!

    The problem here is that I've been running EXACTLY the same configuration on a MacBook Pro 2012 since, well, 2012, without any problem. But when I received the new machine in December, I migrated everything on (using Migration Assistant), I have installed a Bootcamp partition, migrated my old installation of Windows on the use of WinClone, and everything was fine for about 2 weeks. This is the same process as I did when I upgraded the machine from 2009 to 2012 also machine well.

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    I called Apple, went to two Apple stores, and we all tried to run disk utility to fix the problem. But every time I find myself with a message "Invalid node structure. The volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code 8. Updated scores of start-up of the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... "The topic on this bed,"first aid process has failed, if possible, back up the data on this volume. »

    The idea of first re - install the operating system didn't work... apparently there was a problem with the volume at this point so he would not restore. The next option was to completely erase the partition and then restore the backup. That worked, but then the entire process repeated two weeks later.

    I have been through this process 7 ~ 8 times since December! It seems to happen every two weeks and no one can tell me why it's happening on this new machine, but I have NOT had the problem on the old machine running the same configuration.


    Apple said it might have something to do with execution Tuxera NTFS on Mac (if I can share documents across side Windows). I have not removed... Tuxera two restorations there is no change.

    I also use Paragon HFS + for Windows, because most of my material is actually stored on the Mac side. I have NOT yet removed this (current running Windows 10) because I have NO idea why or how something running on the Windows side could affect the operating system volume on the side of Mac... especially when everything I do is opening and closing things as Word documents.

    I have log files and screenshots (I write below a few... but there are many others). Apple says "it is not a hardware problem" so they won't have to help understand if it's just software. I beg the community to help!

    Here's what I new material:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

    Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB

    This graphics card is the NEW one, first, that I do business with AMD

    My OLD machine is:

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012)

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    Any help or ideas are appreciated!

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    This occurs when the drive Boot CAN get the initial Blob of the software off the drive with the boot loader, but when he tried to mount the disk with the file system, it can not be mounted. It runs a single past of [essential] disk first aid. If the drive cannot be mounted, your Mac can not do something useful, he died.

    If the problem could not be fixed quickly, you should have been advised to REPLACE this hard drive.

    This is what you need to do now and stop wasting your time. A new drive costs less than $ 100 and will solve your problems.

  • The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?

    I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?

    Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.

    Thank you!

    My answer is no.

    However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.

    However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15 has Horrible battery life

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2015 is the basic model, 2.2 Ghz and 256 with no graphics other than the Pro of the Iris.  I got it for about 3 months and I take off the power once a weekish and use it around the House.  Whole reason I decided to go Apple was because I wanted to the battery life that windows machines cannot offer with that kind of power.

    I must have got a spleen or something because my battery life is bad.  I lance 50% screen and backlight OFF and do nothing to keep open.  My Dock has nothing open except for the mail to notify me and my browser if I use it (98% of the time).  The battery life is maximum of 4-5 hours to do this constantly, the only time where I got was more a road trip where I turned the backlight and display off and using only iTunes to listen to music through my headphones via bluetooth, it provided for 20 + hours this day here.  Just get here for the last minutes went from 38 to 19 percent more than 31 minutes of battery time.  I know a decent amount about computers and I am a saver of energy mass unless I'm hip, low light, no backlight, no program didn't open that I do not use etc and yet I get a ridiculous autonomy.

    What should I do? Any suggestions? I read somewhere on the power off and then when you power back up hold down Option + command + R to put something else inside the machine.

    My battery life is normal for what I described?  It of not like I'm that fool who knows nothing about computers and leaves open pages, mail, messages, itunes, Skype and browser just because I can.  I leave nothing open (so no programs on the platform were the 'point' under them), erasing everything that isn't necessary VIA activity monitor, such things as creative cloud.  I'm just puzzled.  I must have got a dud.  Please help and advise me on what I should / test.

    Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, but it's not just because of El Capitan, this has been like that since Yosemite when I bought first.

    Thank you

    Your computer is still under warranty, so do the logical thing: make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store. Don't forget that you have free phone service for 90 days after purchase.

    Hello community,

    First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

    Professional background:

    I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

    Laptop Usecase:

    Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

    I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

    Question:

    I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

    The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

    After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

    So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?


    * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

    I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

    1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

    2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

    3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

    4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

    5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

    My thoughts:

    I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

    I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

    If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

    Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

    Thank you

    Everyone from Apple have a preview? I am pretty surprised to have not received a response.

    Please help me out here.

  • Is there a compatible ssd to upgrade early 2015 Macbook Pro?

    Planning on buying a new macbook pro.  Information on upgrading the early 2015 macbook pro said that it wasn't something compatible yet.  I was wondering if in 2016 if anything compatible exist now?

    OWC (macsales) can have.

    But even open systems of the retina may void the warranty and can give the Genius Bar the right to deny any future service to avoid being blamed for what you broke.  Change the SSD guarantees you invalidation some.
