Does MagSafe 2 T Connector get hot when charging and using at the same time (while the light still in amber) ?

Hi,
Just want to check out with the other Apple Users here. I am using a Late 2013 rMBP, however the T Connector do get hot while I am charging and using the mac at the same time. Is this normal ? or do I have to drop by an Apple Store to check it out ?
Thanks in advance

Hello there.
It's quite normal for the magsafe 2 connector (magnetic one) to become a bit warm while it's charging your mac. It will be warmer when your battery is low and the heat will start to dissipate as the battery charges. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Normally your magsafe can go upto 35℃ depending your surrounding temperature. Even mine does. Just remember the warmth should not be untouchable, if that is what you feel take to a apple genius bar to get it checked.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.

Why does my iPhone 5 get hot when I am using facetime?

I notice that after I have been using facetime for calls for about 5 minutes, my phone gets really hot. Anyone notice this issue? Should I replace my device?

you could set up a genius bar appointment, but this may happen, are you using wifi or 3g/lte? is it plugged in while you FaceTime?

My iPad mini adapter gets hot when charging?

Why does my iPad mini FireWire get hot when charging?

The iPad does not have FireWire, do you mean the USB cable? The charger and cable will get warm during charging but should not actually be hot. If they are too hot to handle, try a different charger/cable and see if they are just as hot.
If not, take the iPad, charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar to be examined by the technicians.

Gets hot when charging !

I'm new to the shuffle, and having problems... is it normal the shuffle gets hot when charging?? and orange light never goes green..., it also freezes my computer... I had to remove and reinstall itunes... that will help??
thanks

I am having the same problems and lots more. I loaded new Itunes software; loaded new software for the shuffle and changed USB ports and nothing changes. Still getting very very hot. I am thinking that sending it back for replacement is the only way to fix this. I have three 1st Gen. shuffles and they are still working fine but this 2nd Gen isn't much of an improvement; other than the physical size.

The pwer adapter will become very warm when charging while using the computer. It will cool down considerably when the battery becomes fully charged. It happens to me as well.

When charging and using, ipad 2 is 100% battery, does ipad use the power from the power adapter or from the battery?

I have a quention, when i am charging and using my ipad 2 at the same time, if the battery of ipad is fully 100%, does ipad use the power to work from the power adapter only or from the battery only or both? Thanks!

YOu don't have to have your receipt. Apple should have a record of how long you've had the device. If you bought it in april 2012, then your 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects is almost up. You should find your local apple store, make an appointment and take it in.

To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, explained here:

If it still gets hot, you should get it serviced

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

Try moving and wiggle the devise if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
Hope this works

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.
