IPad (3) suddenly getting hot

Yesterday I noticed my iPad (third generation) getting quite hot. Again today. Have used it since I got it in March this year and this is the first time it has reallty heated up. It is way past warm. What is going on and is there a problem? Thanks. Lyman Johnson

This has happened to me a few times. Usually it is an app running in the background, and usually its a specific app that isn't closing properly when you quit it. Double-tap the home button and hold down your finger on one of the apps, and they will all start to jiggle and you can click the red minus sign to manually quit apps that might be causing the problem. The app that usually does this to me is Skype, but there are other apps that have done it to me as well.

    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.

  • My iPad 3 is getting hot.

    My iPad is getting hot with 20 minutes. I'm disappoint with iPad 3.

    It should not get "hot". It may get a little bit warmer than the iPad 2 or the original iPad - but it should not be getting hot.
    Take it back to wherever you bought it, return it for another one.

  • TS3274 New IPAD Power plug gets hot

    I have a one week old new IPAD.
    The power plug that comes with the IPAD gets very hot upon charging (the bulk portion that gets into wall socket). I had IPAD2 and never faced this issue?
    Should I take it to an Apple Shop for replacement?

    Mine gets warmer than the power adapter on my original iPad, but .... It does not get "Very Hot". I would take it back to Apple and show them, and ask for a replacement, it should not get that hot.

  • Is it normal for iPad to get hot after 30 min usage?

    Hi,
    well after thirty minutes or so my iPad 1 starts getting hot and temperatures continue to increase ..
    This also happens while charging.
    I just wanted to know if this is normal ..

    My iPad (1st Gen) does get a little warm to but not 'hot', even after more than an hour of usage.
    Are you using it outdoor in direct sunlight or in a 'hot' closed environment/room?
    Having aluminium/metal casing, it might radiates heat more readily than plastic/glass coverings when subject to warmer than normal ambient temperature.
    Otherwise, if it is still under warranty (or AppleCare) I would suggest making appointment with the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. It might be a faulty product.

  • When I use my ipad 4 half hours later, it getting hot ? is because the leather cover can't breath or because ipad itself?

    when I use my ipad 4 half hours later, it getting hot ? is because the leather cover can't breath or because ipad itself?

    The first thing that you should probably do is remove the cover, if it is getting that hot. If it cools down at all, maybe that cover isn't ideal for your iPad.
    But your iPad should get really hot and if I am reading your post correctly this occurs after a half hour of use?
    From your post its difficult to tell if you have an iPad 4, that gets hot after one half hour of use ....  or if you have an iPad, that gets hot after 4-1/2 hours of use.

  • Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    The iPad should not get hot after 30 minutes of use. The new iPad will get warmer that the other two iPads did, but it should never get hot.
    If you are playing a HD graphic intense game or watching a HD movie it will get warmer than it does when you are just surfing the web or doing basic functions in word processing apps, or writing emails a but it should still never get hot.
    Is your iPad brand new or has this been going on for a while?

  • IPad mini retina gets warn in normal use.

    MY iPad mini retina gets hot even when just using PDF reader or in desktop screen.. It seems that the battery also drains faster than before1% per 4min. Is this still normal?
    my ipad pad is just 2 months old. it seems that it started to act like this when I charge it with silvertec power bank that is labeled iPad compatible. My iPad went hot and the power bank lost a lot of its charge even if the iPad was just charged 2 percent. Was there a short circuit? My power bank still works great after that incident on my other devices. i might just have been paranoid by the incident but it think there something wrong with my iPad.
    i just want to be assured if everything is still normal. How can I check if there a problem or know that my iPad is still working within the specified standard.

    If you have concerns, I'd make an appointment and take it in and have it checked out.

  • Should my IPAD  get hot while using it.

    I have had my IPAD 3rd Generation for several months now, and all of a sudden is started getting hot.  I have look after it very well, and now I am concerned that it there maybe something wrong with.  I am on a TABLET plan with Telstra.  Can anyone assist me with this, will I need to get it serviced.
    I turned it off, so it will cool down, recharged it, and it was cool, when I turned it on, after a couple of hours it was hot again.
    Can anyone advise me on this please.

    While hot is sort of relative to different people - under no circumstances should the iPad get too hot to handle. If this is what you are experiencing, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
