Back of iPad 3 gets really Hot

My iPad 3 gets really hot when its in use.

If your using many resources at once, the I would consider that normal. When is it getting hot? As soon as you turn it on? While its charging?
Try killing all unused apps in the multi-task bar by double tapping the home button.
Turn off alerts, notifications and maybe wifi in settings to see if it still gets hot.

Am worried. New iPad 3 gets really hot. My first iPad never got hot.

I had an iPad 1 for a long time. It never got hot and also, it charged up quickly. Recently I purchased a new iPad 3. This iPad gets really hot and also seems to take an awful long time to recharge. Thoughts?

There is no escaping the engineering principles involved. Twice the battery capacity means twice as long to charge with the same 10W charger. Since the battery life remains the same at about ten hours, doubling the battery capacity also means that twice as much heat will be dissipated over that period of time. In simple terms "it gets hotter".
Or, you don't get something for nothing.

My ipap gets really hot

My ipad gets really hot and drains my battery?

Before doing that, what are the battery's statistics from the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power, the Condition of the battery, capacity, charge remaining, voltage, current.
The Condition should say Normal, if not, may need service.

IPad 3 gets really hot. Is this normal?

My ipad3 gets really hot while using...is this normal?

I actually have this problem with an old iPad. I have used it for over 3 years, and in the last few weeks, both my wife's iPad and mine have started getting very hot during extended use. I don't see anything in the discussion, but is this a function of IOS 8.0.2, rather than dependent on the iPad? I cannot say for sure we noticed it right at the time we did the OS upgrade, but it seems like it was about that time. Just to be really clear, the heating is recent behavior. It did not happen for the first 3 years we had our ipads. Now they get so hot we cannot keep using them on our laps after 20-30 minutes. And is is not the weather or ambient temperature. It happens when it is 65 F. Have not been able to find out why, or how to limit whatever processes are generating the extra heat.
also, battery life got shorter. Probably because so much energy is turning into heat.

My new iPhone 4s keeps overheating. I mean it gets really Hot! Should I take it back?

My iPhone 4s keeps overheating, gets really hot! Should I return it?

My belief is that this is a flaw in the 4S. I've had two--same exact problem on both. I've been chasing this problem for six days. I've restored, restored without using a backup, removed email accounts, etc. I downloaded a couple of applications that show processor utilization. Consistently, the phone is around 72% of processor utilization.
Going back to my 4, I do not have these issues at all. Same EXACT configuration. (Software, carrier, etc.) I'm surprised more people aren't raising this as an issue. It also shows significantly reduced battery life. When my processor is pegged (as noted above, that is often) it loses about 5% every 1/2 hour.

Does anyone else's ipad 4 get really hot my ipad 2 didn't do that

Does anyone else's ipad 4 get really hot my ipad 2 didn't do that?

My ipad 4 gets warm, at the left side, I am confused with it because I am aware that ipad 3 gets hot, and apple already fixed it with ipad 4. Some ipad 4 users can experience it (I searched it in the net because I am concerned and worried with it) but there are all some users that doesn't experience it at all some even used it for hours and no change in temp but my ipad gets warm with minutes of use

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Hp pavilion dv4-1225dx getting really hot

ive been feeling my laptop get really hot the past few weeks... when it gets hotter ive just been turning it off but im starting to get worried somethings gonna fry.
the heat seems to be coming from the hard drive. the heat can be felt on the area just to the left of the touchpad and up to the keyboard. i can feel the heat coming through the last row of keys. the bottom is also extremely hot way more than the top and in the area that says "hp protect smart" which i think is where the hard drive is.
just downloaded everest and the temperature is running at 70 C / 158 F.
i havent changed anything on my machine and am wondering where the heck this is coming from and why. ive barely had the laptop over a year and this problem started maybe a month ago.
what can i do? there doesnt seem to be dust in the fans from what i can tell from the outside, but maybe i should take it apart and clean it anyway?
anyone got any ideas?

just as an update, i ended up taking it into best buy (geek squad) because i have a 2 year service plan with them. they did a bios update and it seems to have somewhat fixed the problem. i no longer have the noisy fans (weird) and the temperature has gone down somewhat. it is still warmer than id like but i think im out of options here. probably will buy a laptop cooler soon. its also horrible that while searching for a fix myself to the heating issue, i couldnt find any hp documentation regarding a bios update possibly fixing this problem. i could of done the update myself instead.
i gotta say though, the lack of support from hp is horrible. not only was this a problem that occured (conveniently) 2 weeks after the 1 year hp warranty ran out but now my left touchpad button is basically falling off too. i had another hp a few years back and the harddrive on that laptop died 1 week after the warranty ran out. how convenient for hp.
i am in serious doubts if i ever want another hp.

Blackberry Z10 - GETS REALLY HOT

Hi, I noticed my Z10 gets really hot, especially while playing games and charging the device. It's so hot, it feels so uncomfortable in my hand and at some point, i don't want to touch its back. Anynone having the same problem? Is it a faulty unit? I don't want it to explode, i really like my phone...

I replaced my phone because I experienced hot battery and battery draining within 5 hours. It has period of it being hot but it's more acceptable because I noticed when you have a lot of update or installation like the OS update otherwise battery is now doing much better.

Macbook Pro 13" Retina (2014) gets really hot

Hi,
I purchased a MacBook a couple of days ago and it has been fine.
However, today I've realised that the back of it at the bottom is getting really hot, even when the charger is not plugged in. I am not using powerful apps either.
Sometimes it can almost be too hot to touch for more than a couple of seconds. This happens on any surface, whether it's on my wooden desk or not.
The back getting hot also heats up the rest of the Mac to some extent.
Any advice? does it need seeing to and if so will I be charged? Like I said I only purchased it a couple of days ago.
Thanks!

Why is my 2011 imac getting really hot after being repaired twice?

My 27in 2011 Lion Imac is being wierd. I have always noticed that the Hard drive or fan would not turn off when put to sleep. Even when I would get up in the morning, it would still be on. The first time we got it repaired was when the computer would just crash, and eventually not even start up! We went to a local Mac dealer who also did repairs. They said that the circut board was totally burn out, and that they had replaced the power supply. We got home, and all was well untill two days later it just froze. We restarted it and kept on pushing but soon it was either freezing or a gray screen would roll down and say it has to be restarted. It also got so hot, that we could smell something burning. So we brought it back. This time they said that the directory was totally corrupted! So today we brought it home and all seems to be fine, although it seems to still be getting really hot after only an hour of use. When I listen cloesly to the machine it sounds like an electrical buzz. The buzz did fluxuate with the computer doing different tasks, so it could just be the preccessor or something. This is getting very annoying.
Are there any experts or people that have had similar problems and what they did to fix them? Thanks...
I have never had a Mac act this way.

If your iMac is still under AppleCare warranty, backup everything on your iMac, bring it back either to Apple or the repair center and kindly, but very, very strongly ask for a replacement iMac.
Your iMac has just got too many issues and components that failed.
Under AppleCare, you can ask for a one-time complete replacement.

My ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

Likely that the battery is dead. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

There are third-party places which may be less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot after I install OS X 10.10.3. Can Someone help?

After i install OS X 10.10.3 my macbook pro gets really hot. I don't know why. Someone has a solution?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
