Defected mac Posted on: 02.05.2013 by Patty Dauer Hi guys,i just bought a mac pro 10.8 2 days back. Is it normal for the mac to get luke warm within fifteen mins of usage and hot within an hour or is my mac defected?! Also my mac has a ram of 8gb. thought previously i was using a compaq with 2gb ram and now this mac doesnt feel as much faster. Like might just be a tad bit faster but no real upgrade i feel. Please help me out. | |
| Nakesha Pasic 06.05.2013 | Clean it up. I work at my college's IT department and here is the gist of our go to scrub down. 1. Clean out your temp files ~\library\Caches\ and ~\users\USERNAME\Library\Caches\ Just delete everything in those folders, they'll repopulate on their own. If you don't know how to access the second Caches folder, go to finder and look at your menu bar on top. Click on "Go", then hold down the option key. You'll see a hidden folder appear. 2. Clean out Recycling Bin. You wouldn't believe how frequently people bog their rigs down with gigs on gigs of trash. Especially if you download music that gets autoloaded into iTunes. 3. Disk Utility and Repair Permissions Pretty obvious, \Applications\Utilities\Disk Utility 3. Make sure all of your updates are current. Apple Security updates can really make a difference. 4. Applejack (http://applejack.sourceforge.net/) This handy little fucker will essentially do what we just did in step 1 and 2, but on a far deeper level. It's a bit nerve wracking to use if you're not ready for it, but anyone can do it. Download the software and install like usual. You won't see anything in applications, but if its installed, you're good to go. - Restart your computer after installing applejack. - Wait for the Ding and enter single user mode (hold CMD + S) - You'll see a bunch of code run down the screen for a second, and then you'll get a prompt. - Type in "applejack AUTO" and respond "y" for yes for anything they ask. - At the end you'll be asked if you want to restart or shutdown. Just hit the corresponding purple letter. Sometimes this takes a little while to run its course. Also, when you turn your computer on for the first time after running it may take a while to boot up.

This particularly means using you laptop on hard, plain surfaces, so the laptop stands on its feet and there is a small gap between the bottom plate and the surface. Worst thing you can do is using it on a soft surface (tablecloth, your lap,..) that prevents the air to reach the laptop. |

| Patty Dauer 06.05.2013 | If i switch to the 64 bit of live 9 will it help?? willl my cpu load be less? |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 07.05.2013 |
Also does a mac come with warranty? Im definitely taking this to the mac store. Today precisely within 15mins it got hot. and i was just surfing.
If the websites you were surfing to were using flash (e.g. youtube) then your mac will get hot very fast. |

| Patty Dauer 06.05.2013 | Yea im using the 32bit version thought does that really make a difference? As in like why would they make 32bit available in the first place if it wouldn work that well? just asking. Also does a mac come with warranty? Im definitely taking this to the mac store. Today precisely within 15mins it got hot. and i was just surfing. :/ God knows whats up with this x_x |

oh okay. Thanks for letting me know that. Yea but I'm definite thats theres not a major major upgrade from 2 to 8gb. Im guessing i might be wrong.
okay i dint know that too. Im looking at the ableton live cpu usage bar on the top right and that shows 25% already. Does that measure in 100% or 400%?
Also im worried about one more thing. i just started off making a song in ableton live and i had just created my 3rd track in it and i saw the cpu meter peaking at 25% already!!!!!! the main reason i bought this mac is to avoid cpu overloads. and now i can see it, that like within 10 tracks ill start cracking. Im kinda worried. I don't wan a spend so much money and yet be in the same place i was before.
You have one of the highest spec macbooks out there, there is no reason it should not be super speedy unless you are asking the impossible from it, in terms of the amount of stuff running on your Ableton channels. If are you running spotlight (which I guess you are) ? ... perhaps consider turning it off, it does help quite a bit. |

| Dannie Dimora 05.05.2013 | The quantity of ram does not directly relate to the snappiness of the computer.. Anyhow, it's weird that you don't notice a major difference... |
| Alphonso Deitchman 05.05.2013 | Once you have an adequate amount of RAM (probably around 3GB in your case), adding more does very little to improve performance. Calculating disk usage is dependant on your hard drive, which is now the "slowest" part of your laptop and may cause bottlenecks for certain disk-heavy processes. What are you measuring CPU usage in btw? Some programs calculate in 100% per core, so for a quad core 400% means full usage. |
| Patty Dauer 05.05.2013 | Hi guys, Its a completely new macbook pro i7 non retina 2.3ghz 8gb ram. Sorry if said mac pro earlier. I downloaded onyx and did that automation in it. i cant really afford to spend more since ive already spent so much on this mac so the SSD is definitely out of the picture. Hoping that now my mac would be snappier! @makar1 by fast i mean like like its not super responsive in terms of usage. Like in the general daily working to perform any command its not very fast/snappy for 8gb. Since ive experienced 2gb on a compaq hence in comparison im talking. Like for eg it takes time for it to calculate my disk usage etc. i dont believe i have much of an option with the heat. Seems as though everybody's mac tend to get hot so probably ill just have to do with it. :/ Also im worried about one more thing. i just started off making a song in ableton live and i had just created my 3rd track in it and i saw the cpu meter peaking at 25% already!!!!!! the main reason i bought this mac is to avoid cpu overloads. and now i can see it, that like within 10 tracks ill start cracking. Im kinda worried. I don't wan a spend so much money and yet be in the same place i was before. Thanks a ton for the help! |
| Alphonso Deitchman 04.05.2013 | The CPU and/or GPU depending on your application will always be the producers of the most heat. Replacing the thermal paste between the processor and the heatsink can help reduce temps, especially with older machines. |
| Syreeta Piela 04.05.2013 | The thing that produced the most heat on my MBP was the hard drive - Spinning components = HEAT! Swapping your HDD to an SSD will decrease the heat and give you a speedier system, all depends on how much storage you need as they are still expensive in comparison to regular HDD's. SSD's also require less power to run which will help with cooling. |
