This morning the fan was at full speed when it the computer was idle and it's quite warm to the touch. It's done this before and it doesn't seem normal. Do I make an appointment and take into the store or do I phone Apple?
What are you running as a media player? I had Plex installed and it the CPU process was pegged at 100% constantly. I had the library refresh in default mode which checked every time something changed in my library. I changed this to once a day and the process dropped to 1-2%.

I'm not running the new beta version yet so I am still using the older 0.9.3.x version. I don't know if this issue was resolved in a newer release.
