I have iPad model number MC706B/A and battery gets very hot quickly and also discharges from 100% to 0 in under an hour with onyl one app going. Brightness res turned right down also to stop over use on battery.

Hi All,
I am getting increasingly frustrated at the battery grossly overheating ( as in cannot hold it on legs as gets too hot) also that I have to keep it on constant charge a other wise it discharges from 100% to zero in well under and hour. Is this a battery or design fault of this particular model. Its not even a year old but I also know whilst they brought it out in March 2012 they discontinued in October 2012...
Can anyone assist as Apple lcearly want nothing to do with a now defunct model and I am thinking that perhaps with the backing of the Trading Standards Authority and the Office of Fair Trading, Apple might just want to sit up and listen as up until now they have not. They simply suggest that I should trade up!!!

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they will diagnose the problem and get it repaired if it requires it.

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.

My iPad isn't charging and it's get really hot.. What is wrong with it?

Hello there simisammy,
If the iPad is not recognized in iTunes then I recommend this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
This is a basic over view of the troubleshooting involved with it.
To begin troubleshooting this issue on your iOS device, first follow the steps in the appropriate troubleshooting assistant below:
iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant
iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant, continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each section.

1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
When that is finished I would recommend this article

My Macbook Pro keeps crashing and it gets very hot, what should I do?

I have a late 2010 15inch Macbook Pro.
Specs:
2.53GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
500 GB HD
My mac keeps freezing and crashing on me. It might be because it gets really hot, but I really cant say for sure. Its been running slow the past few months and im not sure what to do. I keep it very clean and I doubt there is dust accumilating inside of it. Even if there was, I dont know how to check. Will upgrading the RAM help; if so, where and how? Also I only have about 25GB left on my HD.

Have you tried inserting a disc cleaner? Maybe you drive is dirty

When I am using my macbook pro it gets very hot quickly

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.

I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

I have a new iPad with retina display it seems to get very hot is this right

Should the iPad get very hot ?

I would recomend turning down your brightness of your screen. It should be put to to 50-60% and now the iPadwill not get warm. Still you can feel the heat but at least it does not get as warm as using 100% brightness.
