Has anyone experienced the Airport Express getting really hot?
I just got an AirPort Express 802.11n Wi-Fi, model #A1264 and used it on vacation. It worked fine but the unit got real hot while plugged into the electrical outlet. Is this normal? Thanks.
It hard to know exactly what "hot" means, but if you cannot hold your hand on the AirPort Express for 20-30 seconds or so, then it is running too hot.
It's normal for the device to feel hot because the outer case of the device acts to dissipate heat from the internal components.
Just be sure to give the AirPort Express plenty of airspace and try to avoid installing it in a cramped area.

I have an ipad 2 with airport express that I use to play and change music whilst teaching ballet class. Recently, I keep losing connection and the airport express appears to be getting quite hot. I did use Archos but changed to Apple for reliabilty! Can anyone help or should I just buy a new airport express.
I agree that it's probably interference. Only other possibility, since you mentioned it, it overheating. Is the express situated so that it is well ventilated? That is to say, not buried under other equipment and laying on its side? What does the status light do when you lose connection?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

HT1688 Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off?
Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off and not in use after a period of time? Is so, what did you do to get it replaced?
I haven't, but thanks for asking.
Bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you're in the warranty period, the replacement will be free; if not you will pay $149. -
Has anyone experienced the iphone 4s camera panorama failure where the panorama stops after taking only one 'non panoramic shot? I think this happens when you switch direction of the panoramic arrow.
Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs. Has anyone experienced the same? Does anyone know a fix for this?
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account? -
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

It doesn't.

Have you tried reset? Restore?
Have you made an appointment at the genius bar to have them look at it? -
I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.
Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

Has anyone download the Airport Utility app on their iPod Touch or iPhone?
Just was wondering if anyone downloaded the Airport Utility app from the app store onto their iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone? You can see a picture of your Time Capsule's nework and a picture of your Time Capsule right on your iOS device (iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad) and it's quite nice that you can actually see a picture of your network. It shows current status and a diagram/picture of your network. You can also make changes to your network right from your iOS device. This is a nice feature to have on your portable device.
I was just wondering how anyone else liked this feature?Here's what Apple recommends:

Has anyone used an Airport Express to connect to a Yamaha Disklavier Piano?
Does anyone own a Yamaha Disklavier piano and have it connected to the internet using an airport express?
Just plugged my Airport Express into a power strip and ran the Ethernet cable to the back of the Yamaha E3 Disclavelier's Ethernet port. Used Apple's Airport Utility to verify it shows up on my network. You can then download the Yamaha Disklavelier App from the App Store and now my iPhone controls the piano. Super easy and way cool!

Apple TV stays on all the time? Gets really hot.
Should it just be left on all the time? Mine seems really hot. Is this safe?

Funny because when I do the same thing iTunes never looses the connection with AppleTV. Even with the light off, I can select AppleTV from the iTunes devices and manage the content. My experience has shown that AppleTV never sleeps or turns off.
correct. itunes still does detect it.
it appears the peoples definition of sleep differs somewhat.
i class "sleep" as being in a device in a state where it is using less power than it would when in normal use.
putting the appletv to "sleep" by holding power/pause for 5 seconds lowers the power consumption... so in my eyes this is "sleep".
the appletv certainly does "hibernate", but it does "sleep". -
When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?
I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly! -
Has anyone got the AirPort Client Update 2009-00 to work
As I have frequently posted here SL has killed my Airport.
Having waited patiently for FOUR MONTHS Apple have finally issued AirPort Client Update 2009-00.
It makes no difference to me.
Has this actually worked for anyone?In my case, I bought my MBP with Tiger then upgraded to SL and it made my airport behave randomly soo I opted to roll back the OS until a fix is made to the issue.

I have a 30" cinema display which is about 3 years old. Everything was working fine yesterday but on reboot today the screen went dim and the brightness buttons did not work. I used the key board and increased the brightness but it went dim again on release. The on/off touch button also did not work.
I have set to disable both of these in the preferences and all is working now but I wondered if anyone else has experience of both of these touch buttons failing. The monitor has been switched off when booting up on a morning but I had not switched it off manually before shut down or set it to do so which I thought was odd. Now I wonder if it was the first signs of a breakdown of the switches on the monitor.
Thanks for any imput in advance.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
