IPad Mini Overheating

Has anyone else experienced this? I plugged in my new iPad Mini with the supplied charger, overnight. When I disconnected it the next morning, the iPad was almost too hot to touch! It then would not turn on, even after cooling down. I took it back to my AT&T store where I purchased it a week ago, and they were kind enough to replace it.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM APPLE SAYING THEY REMOVED MY POST BELOW. "We’ve removed your post Re: iPad Mini Overheating because it contained either product feedback or feature requests." NO IT DIDN'T ! APPLE LEAVE YOU WITH NO WAY TO COMPLAIN!
I had the same problem twice! Still under warranty my Ipad mini was on charger durning the night. In the morning it was very hot and would not start again. I took it in to Apple store they replaced it gave me 3 months more warranty and 4 months later the EXACT same thing happened to the new mini. Now they say there is "NOTHING" they can do about it? This is clearly a design or manufacturing flaw. Apple needs to recall this product. I am now going direct to Apple to see what they propose to do. A full refund or a normal Ipad. I will only take a new mini if they can show they have fixed this flaw! Anybody else interested in pursuing this with Apple?

My iPad Mini overheated and now won't turn on!!

IPad Mini overheated and won't turn on.

Hello everyone, I would like to kindly ask if I can replace my ipad mini 32gb wifi +cellular if I bring it tomorrow at the apple store. I am from the Philippines and I also bought my ipad mini here also. I think it is still covered by my 1 year warranty because I bought it March last year (2013).
This is what happened. I was charging my iPad Mini yesterday and left it for a few hours, after 3 hours I think, I checked it and it was hot and won't turn on anymore. I immediately unplugged the charger and tried to reboot it and also tried connecting it on itunes but it didn't solve my problem. It stayed like that for 7 hours and then cooled down afterwards, until now it's not working.
So yeah, if it won't turn on because it overheated or for some other reasons, Can it be replaced? Will there be any payments?

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If not then whether you might need to pay will depend upon what the store says and whether they think that it's covered by the warranty. Does the iPad have signs of damage anywhere on it e.g. dents ? Only the store will be able to tell you whether it's covered or not.

Ipad Mini Overheated? 1st Replacement

I recently just got another ipad mini just 2 days ago this ipad is the replacement for an previous ipad mini I had earlier. The problem is that I was charging my ipad mini last night right before I went to sleep this morning when I woke up my ipad was hot to the touch. What do I do because it's only been two days and this is a replacement.

You putting a lot of juice into a device that is 80% battery inside. When charging, the iPad will feel warm to the touch. If it's truly HOT, then it may be a problem.

IPad Mini adapter overheating in Europe

I am using the iPad Mini in Europe at 220 VAC 50Hz.
The adapter is supposed to work at that voltage fine.
It does charge but gets very hot. Is it still safe?

The apple charger is rated 100V to 240V, 50/60 Hz. You can use it in any country.

Ipad mini 16GB overheating under the home button? Is it okay?

My Ipad is heated just under the Home button on using barely 15mins. Is it normal? Does it occur in all other Ipad Mini's frequently? Just purchased it 5 days ago. Do i need to get it checked at the store?

Can I remove the battery?
No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

IPad Mini First Generation overheating solution?

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

My iPad mini with OS 7.1.2 suddenly will engage in uncontrolled actions such as opening and closing pages, switching between apps, expanding and minimizing pages etc... uncontrollably and I have to shut the mini down to stop the uncontrolled actions

My iPad Mini #1 with OS 7.1.2 began uncontrolled actions recently. While reading a book in 3M Cloud App the pages would expand and then minimize on their own and then the uncontrolled action would open other apps and do the same by uncontrollably expanding and minimizing different pages in that app and then the actions would move on to another App and open it and expand and minimize pages and open different pages etc . . . Initially I thought the problem was connected to the 3M Cloud Library App so I deleted it on my Mini iPad and also in iTunes on my iMac and downloaded a fresh app to install on my Mini. However, that did not affect the problem. The uncontrolled actions start in any app and begin every time I open my Mini to the point it is becoming useless. Please help as I don't have a clue as to the cause of the problem or how to go about fixing it.

If this is still happening have you contacted APPLE support with the problem (same question to other posters).
If it is always after a certain length of time with active use - it may be overheating causing wear and tear on internal components.
Or - a bug in the software is causing sudden replay of what you just did.
Had similar issue with work owned IBM think Pad due to age and use in office area that was warm (not my choice) - it behaved as though the track mouse or keyboard was stuck - repeating same single character - open/close folders- would have to do quick shut down by pulling the pad out of dock and pulling the battery out -- solution - was to get new lap top after PC techs cleaned it and it still happened.

My iPad mini makes chargers burn to the touch.

I have an iPad mini and my charger overheated and died. I have borrowed other people's chargers in the mean time but they get very very hot to the touch when I plug it into my iPad. What shall I do?

My iPad 3 charger will get quite warm at times when I am charging my iPad, but not like you are describing. I would recommend taking the iPad to an Apple Store for evaluation.
Your iPad charger should never get "very, very" hot. That is not normal.

IPad mini activation issue

I'm really fed up with the iPad mini. This is my 3rd after the others overheated whilst on charge.
I was trying to set it up with a valid SIM and through wifi and i get the following messages:
Attempting to activate through wifi;
WE ARE EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM ACTIVATING YOUR IPHONE- PLEASE CONTACT APPLE
wifi symbol and 2 bars indicating sim signal
Attempting to activate through mobile connection;
COULD NOT ACTIVATE IPAD
your iPad could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it ot try again over the mobile connection in a few minutes. You can also try to activate a wifi connection.
2 bars and 3G symbol
Message on itunes;
iTunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore before it can be used on itunes.
Then the cycle continues. I have an appointment but just wondering if anyone on here could help or have any info because to be honest i just want to throw it in the bin. This is my first Apple product and i'm sincerely regretting it.There is nothing wrong with the SIM.

sorry wrong spell my apple id is [email protected]

New iPad mini overheats

Hi,
I got a new iPad mini retina about a month ago. Many times the battery gets warm (occassionally very warm) when I use the device, although not so warm that I get a warning message. I also realized it tends to get warm when I'm charging it, especially at the "home button area". Can this happen due to the fact the weather is getting hot? I read somewhere heat kills the battery. Is this true? What can I do to avoid overheating?
Thanks much!

My iPad Mini has a black screen and does not respond to anything.

I got my iPad Mini 6 days ago, and this morning I woke up to it overheating (to a point which any contact with it, or the case) was painful. Along with this overheating, the screen was and still is black. The iPad is not responding when I try to turn it on, off, hard reset it, etc.. It has not been taken off charge in approximately 6 hours, so I highly doubt lack of battery is a reason.
HElp, please. And thank you in advance.

Time to make an appointment with Apple.

Problem with facetime in my ipad mini

When using Facetime on my ipad mini, sometimes the screen will turn black then an apple logo will appear, looks like it reset. I already tried resetting my ipad but still the same.

Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

One Apple ID, 2 kids with ipad minis, not recognized individually

Got 2 ipad minis for Christmas, kids are over the moon. Because of their agea they use my ID to buy apps. This way I can monitor. Unfortunately Game Center doesn't differentiate one ipad mini from the other since we all use my ID and Password. Can I create different passwords for each of them? Multiples under one ID?
