Heat - My IPAD, and MACBook Pro get extremely hot on the bottom. Is that usual?

Is it customary for IPADs and MacBook Pros and Airs to get very hot on the bottom after 5 - 10 minutes being on?

you might ask in the actual forums....

Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

Hi Guys,
Good day to you all!
I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
Best regards,
Aris

It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea. But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac. The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one. Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless. If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for. Do get AppleCare before it is a year old. That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.

Does anyone Bravia XBR-55x850c gets extremely hot on the bottom surface of the TV?

Bottom surface of the X850c gets extremely hot to the touch. Does anyone have similar issue? Or maybe it's normal? Please let me know. Thanks

You need to take it in to Apple and let them take a look at it. You have a short in your iPod Touch that needs to be repaired.

Why does my Macbook Pro get extremely hot doing simple things like surfing the web?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 4GB of ram 500GB HD. The last few months my mac has been getting extremely hot when I do simple things like listening to music or going on facebook etc. I have used accessories to cool it down, but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Might be that the vents are clogged and need a clean up. Depends on the environment it was used in (dust, smoke, etc).
Might also be that some piece of software is the culprit and not iTunes or Safari/Chrome/Firefox.
Run Activity Monitor and see which application(s) use abnormally high amount of processing power.

Does every Macbook Pro get extremely hot?

I purchased a Macbook Pro 2 days ago. Basically a great machine, except for the fact that it gets so hot that it becomes basically unusable in any portable sense...
My question is, do all Macbooks get this hot or just some of them? Would a replacement settle the issue or is the entire line affected by this problem?
Thanks for your help.
Macbook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Germany

I have had mine for about two months and it gets really hot when running a few progrmas at once. The heat is mostly along the F keys and left speaker grill. The other day, I opened the lid and woke the machine from sleep and plugged in the battery.... the machine never noticed the cord being plugged in and the keyboard got very hot. I tried to shut down and it went to the grey screen, but never shut off. I had to press the power button and shut down again to get it to turn off. Has this happened to anyone else?
I am considering taking it to the apple store in the area to see if this is a normal heat issue.

MacBook Pro getting extremely hot playing Diablo 3

Hello, is it normal my Mac (mid 2014), i5 + 8 gigs of ram to become EXTREMELY hot when playing Diablo 3 ? It literally blows extremely hot air from the little holes that are near by the folding mechanism. I mean 1)I guess that is not good for the Mac 2) it is very bad for the part of the display that gets the hot air. So is there anything I can do to stop this ?

Ah, well I'm away from home at the moment so no DVD.
However, it is the UK trading standards act that tells me that any product is supposed to last without fault a reasonable time, based on the amount you paid for. So a £10 toaster isn't exactly good for 3 years, but a £1,000 Macbook Pro would be expected to last more than a year.
At the moment, the way this is going, I'm seriously damaging my CPU lifespan, it's constantly at 70c, the fan is constantly spinning, and the battery is constantly draining. I had 1 tab open on Firefox 4, it was a forum, with no ads, no flash, just text and basic pictures and my CPU is 70C.
So I think something is wrong with my Macbook.
I'm going to ring up Trading standards, get them to advise me what to do, then ring up Apple and tell them from the get go that I know my rights as a UK customer and that I expect a repair, replacement (of equal or greater value) or a refund. Either would be good.

HT5622 Due to problems with my original email I changed my apple id email and password months ago. Suddenly it is reverting to my old email. How do I get it to totally forget the original? I have iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.

Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

Can I connect my iPad and MacBook Pro both via an iPhone hotspot?

First, a little background. I have an aging MacBook Pro (~5 years old), and my netbook was smashed on the way to work last night. My cell phone (not an iPhone) crapped out a few weeks ago.
So my first priority is to replace my netbook with an iPad. When I can afford it, I also want to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro. I've also been thinking of getting an iPhone.
One thing that always confuses me is Internet connections. I currently connect my MacBook Pro to the Internet via Verizon and use T-Mobile for my cell phone.
I was surprised when an Apple salesman told me the iPhone has a "hotspot" that I can use to connect both an iPad and MacBook Pro to the Internet. But an Apple salesman at another store told me the hotspot will connect the iPad.
Can anyone offer some details? I've been browsing some of the other threads, but I still don't really understand what a hotspot is. Am I correct in understanding that as long as I have an iPhone with me, I can use it to connect my iPad to the Internet? Can I similarly use it to connect a MacBook Pro (either my 4-year-old+ model or a new model)?
What kind of connection speed does a hotspot offer? I do a lot of websurfing and web design. Would a hotspot connection be about as fast as my current connection via Verizon?
Also, is the hotspot feature available with either AT&T or Verizon?
Thanks.

Your hotspot will be billed by AT&T or Verizon based on your iPhone's model. Only the iPhone 4 from Verizon would allow a Verizon hotspot. Others have posted information revealing that the Verizon 3G connection is somewhat slower than the AT&T service. Also, the Verizon service suspends the use of hotspot when you take a phone call. The AT&T service continues during calling.
Selecting the hotspot feature under General> Settings> Personal Hotspot will change your data plan from your previous 250MB, 2GB, or unlimited amount to a new 4GB plan that includes tethering. AT&T charges me $45 instead of my Unlimited, but No Tethering Allowed, $30.
You can connect three devices that have WiFi. Verizon hotspots can connect five. Your speed should be about the same as the iPhone 4 browsing speed on 3G. If your phone is on WiFi, the devices need to connect separately to that WiFi, not to your hotspot. I would love to see a software update that allows my WiFi connection to be shared, so I don't have to manually connect the iPods that my boys use one at a time.

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

I have an ipod, ipad and macbook pro. When I add anything to my calendar it always comes up twice, and always reminds me twice on all of my appliances. Its probably really simple but how do I rectify this?

Hi there. Can anyone help? I have an iphone, ipad and macbook pro. Whenever I add anything to my calender it always puts itself in twice and always reminds me of everything twice on each of my appliances. I'm sure it just a matter of ticking or unticking boxes but I can't seem to get the right ones.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

I cannot activate iMessage and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro

Hi everyone,
Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.
Regards

Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
(We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.)

Sync iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro contacts

Hello.
Everytime I sync my 3 Apple devices (iPhone 4, iPad 2 and Macbook Pro), I get the same contact 3 or 4 times at my iPhone...
By other way, I want that the iPad and Macbook Pro can have the same contacts as iPhone, because I update my contacts at iPhone everyday. So, the iPad and Macbook Pro must get the iPhone contacts and not the contrary.
Can you help me on this, please?
Regards
Luis Antunes

Well I answered my own question. I just deactivated all the other accounts on my iPhone except iCloud, and all the duplicates disappeared. Before I did this, I merged duplciate cards on the MacBook Pro (from the Contacts Card menu selection). iCloud needs to be selected as the default account on all your devices, and it seems that other accounts need to be deactivated. Be careful - deactivating an account also erases entries associated with only that account.
