My Mac is acting up latley, I'm new to them so I have no idea how to fix it. It's a MacBook Pro, 2.16 Intel Core Duo, with 2GB of memory. Here's what it's doing. When it's on, but closed, it makes a noise like it's working the whole time. It doesnt do that when open. There isnt anything running when it does this that I know of, Ive restarted several times. Secondly, when i unplug the battery and use it, the warning "you are now running on reserve battery power" comes up in approximently 30 minutes. It will usually still say it's at 40%, so Im not sure if it dying or just says that, but it is always really hot, like its working extra hard. It isnt one of the recalled battery's. My computer is 7 months old, I dont do anything major with it, mostly just web-browsing and iTunes. Do Mac's even get viruses? I dont have any protection software on here, just what came with it. So what's going on? Is there a way to re-set it? Is that all i need to do? Someone please help, let me know what's wrong and how to fix it, Ive got $3,000 in this thing, I was hoping thatd buy me more that 7 trouble-free months!
