Ipad2 charger getting very hot

Just treated myself to an ipad2 a couple of days ago but when it goes on charge with the supplied charger the charger gets very hot.
Is this normal or should I be getting hold of the reseller I bought it from and see about getting a replacement?
thanks for any advice

Chargers do get warm... but if you feel that yours is getting Too Hot then return it to Place of Purchase and ask them to check it for you.

Ipad mini charger getting very hot

ipad mini charger getting very hot. Not the ipad. What is it? A problem, or normal?

Warm is normal. Too hot to handle, literally, is not. So if you can hold it, then it's probably fine. Mine gets hot when it's charging. But if it's too hot for you to hold then you should stop using it and get it checked out an apple store.

Just Purchased MBA; the Charger gets VERY hot

I just purchased the Macbook Air. When I plug it in, the Charger gets very hot after a few minutes and if I listen closely, there is a faint hissing. I assume this is not normal, correct?

I plugged my late 2010 MBA 13 in recently and then after about 20 minutes, needed to move it and the charger to another outlet. I had never paid any attention to how warm this charger can get. It was so hot, I could barely hold it. I checked it a few minutes later and it wasn't any hotter, but not any cooler either. It's will be a year this month since I bought this computer so the warranty is set to expire.
Good thing for AppleCare...

IPad charger gets very hot

When I charge my iPad using the cord that came with it, there's not much heat in the charger part, but if I use an extension cord with it, the charger gets almost too hot to handle. I went into the Apple store to buy a longer cord so I could charge it while still using it, but they told me just to go ahead and use an extension cord.
Why does the charger get hot with an extension cord,but not when it's directly inserted into the wall socket? And is this going tone a problem?

I use an extension cord with my power adapter to charge my new iPad and I do the same thing with my original iPad. The power block gets warm, but not "hot" when I use an extension cord. The power block gets warm if I plug it directly into a wall socket as well. Again - it gets warm but not "hot".
My first suggestion would be to try another extension cord. Maybe the one that you are using is faulty.

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on. I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond. Any Ideas?

I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot. It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it fixable?

Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or, you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.

How come every time i go to charge my ipod it gets very hot

how come every time i go to charge my ipod it gets very hot?

An iPod can get quite warmwhan charging.. Does the iPod work OK otherwise?
Let It Breathe
Charging your iPod while in certain carrying cases may generate excess heat, which can affect battery capacity. If you notice that your iPod gets hot when you charge it, take it out of its case first.

HT4060 When I charge my ipad on some occasions the plug gets very HOT. the ipad still charges but slower.????

When I charge my ipad using the small UPSpower adapter, the adapter gets very HOT on about every third use. It still charges but more slowly. Is any one having a similiar problem?? An sugstions as to how to correct it???

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

My apple iP ad and charger plug keep getting very hot. I have tried resetting it but this doesn't help. Please can anyone help?

please can you help? My apple I pad min version 7.1 (11D167) model MD531B/a. Capasity 13.4 GB keeps getting very hot and the charger plug. It seem to run down quickly too. It's been going on for a long time now. I have tried resetting it but this does nothing. Kind regards Rosemary.

Hi Rosemary,
These devices will get very warm (even uncomfortably so) when charging. From my own experience this is exacerbated if the device is in use at the time of charging or if the device is in a case that does not allow air to reach the device.
You will see a warning on the iPad's display in the form of a yellow triangle and exclamation mark long before the device reaches a dangerous temperature.
As long as the device is no warmer than a nice cup of coffee, you're in the clear.
As you have mentioned that your battery is draining quickly, this could indicate that the processes running at the time are rather intensive on the iPad's resources and this would naturally raise the temperature of the iPad.
If you have a look in Settings>General>Usage and look for the Standby and Usage times toward the bottom, are the two numbers significantly different? If you see that the Usage and Standby times are identical then you are experiencing a software issue where the device is not entering sleep as it should when not in use.
Cheers

Charger making noise and getting very hot...

My MacBook White is only six months old. The external charger that came with it is getting very hot and making a low but audible buzzing noise. The heat takes an hour or so to really build up to the point where I can't touch it. It used to get hot if I left it plugged in for many hours, but never like this! This particular problem just started happening today and I'm not sure if it is safe or not to use. Has anyone had this problem? I am afraid to call AppleCare and have them tell me that it isn't covered by warranty, etc. etc.

no no, that's not cool at all! call apple, it's covered. you don't have applecare unless you paid for it & the 1 year std warrnty will still cover this.
if you get them called now, they will likely have a new one to you by tomorrow.
pick up applecare before the year is up, it's worth it.

TS1713 my power adapter gets very hot on my mac book pro is this normal

my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal

Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

The power adapter gets very hot. Any suggestions?

The power adapter part that plugs into the computer gets very hot. I have replaced the battery and replaced the power adapter. It also has a hard time connecting and recharging the battery. Is it possible to change out the plug in part in the computer and is it expensive? Does it sound like this is what is needed to fix it? Its about 3 years old. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
