New 2011 MacBook Pro Heating Issue?

whats the software got to do with this, ability to deal with traffic is a hardware thing predominantly, Im talking about not having auto log in or be able to edit your own post after just posting it, I cant even see a way to quote someone elses tho Ive seen others do it, its no where obvious thats for sure.

What the software has to do with it is synchronizing all the servers to maintain up-to-the-moment, correctly sequenced display of the millions of messages in the hundreds of Apple forums.

For help with quoting, maybe you should consult Discussions Help:

http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#reply

Or if using the Quote button directly above the Reply text box is too hard for you, type a Return followed by a ">" and then paste the text you want to quote after it.

You have 15 minutes after posting to edit your own post. To do so, use the Edit button immediately to the left of the Reply button.

I ordered my MacBook Pro online on the Thursday it came out. It is a 13" with a 2.3 GHz i5, 500 gb 5400 rpm hard drive, and 4 gb SDRAM.
Anyways, I haven't had any problems with overheating or an overactive fan. The only time my fan was even audible was when I was playing games, otherwise no problem, not while multitasking or working.

I have neither of these buttons appearing anywhere on the page!

apparently the 'return >' thing for quoting doesnt like a space after it.

thanks for the tip tho 🙂

I don't know what web browser you use, but those buttons appear just as clear as day in all five of mine (Camino, Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox).

I just bought this Macbook Pro 2gz 2011
I previously owned a MBP late 2008

My initial impression what's been happening with this new system is unacceptable.

- I've had 3 computer hangs in the last 4 days (happens when I walk away from it and it is not doing anything intensive or out of he ordinary... bizzarre)
- The fans spin up to a loud volume 6400rpm during some simple activities that dont seem to warrant it ie. starting a browser with a handful of restored tabs.
- Running the simple "yes > /dev/null" in the shell immediately causes the fans to spin up.

None of these things happen with my MBP 2008.

Is this the same for all 2011 MBPs or is it possibly system specific?

I'm assuming that the hangs will be readily fixed with the next os update.
I'm not so sure about the heat and fan issues.

What's the likelihood of the next MBP not having these issues? I might wait a year and make due with my ol trusty 2008.

Also running a simple video stream like you tube gets the fans up to 4500rpm.
I could run multiple streams simultaneously on the 2008 without fans kicking in.

Fairly loud. Not likely to put up watching movies with this background noise.

I heard that apple are releasing a new software to solve the heating issue and enable turbo boost, but I want to know when is that going to be released. This macbook pro is driving me crazy, really loud fan on normal usage. Come on Apple is that the best you've got ?!

Same problem here...Heats 90 degrees when watching youtube!! OMG. please fix this big problem

macbook 13.3 i7

As there are too many MBP 2011 with heating/freezing up problems I just cancelled my order which hasn't been shipped yet. When you are paying 3500+ one would expect to get one without these major problems. Shame on Apple. I will monitor this thread and when the above mentioned problems have been resolved I may reorder depending on how fast Apple releases a software/firmware up date.

Even with youtube playing back a 1080p movie it heats up to around 72°C (with fans at around 4000-4500rpm). (using Fan Control 1.21 beta though which was also running on my previous C2D MBP)

How long will it take Apple to fix this ?

IF it's something Apple can fix — as opposed to something about the configuration of your computer, your software, or the way you're using them — then it will take as long as it takes. No one here knows, and Apple isn't reading these posts.

You may need to reset System Management Controller to resolve some of these issues.

eww: there's no need to get tetchy with newbies. You and 'stare bare' both seem to be right about what you each are saying.

'stare bare' is correct that there's no quote button when reading the page of messages (reply and email are the only responses offered).

You are also correct, but only after one has initiated a reply. At that point there's a row above the editing window offering icon buttons for bold, italic, underline, spellcheck, ... and for inserting the text of what is being replied to.

At least that's what I see via my browsers (Safari/OSX, Safari/Win, and MSIE/Win), ... at least as a new member of this forum.

Does that clarify things?
