Apple is in trouble these days; users of Mac Book Pro are facing some problems. This new gadget often crash down, under profound load especially with the iTunes home sharing.

One user report a problem that Apple Mac Book Pro fails to work when the temperature raises to 90 degree; problems arise especially with the trackpad and keyboard, which fail to work under such temperature.

Apple invited the users on discussion board and one out of 567 users said, “The fan rewed and suddenly I could use nothing but the cursor. Had to hold down the power switch to kill all and then re-power and startup. I wasn’t doing anything unusual, but I had 7 apps open and was amid an auto-backup to Time Machine”.

Apple is well aware of the problem and has planned to fix it. It is expected that software update of OS X could solve the problem of graphics driver.
