Ipad over heating issue

I have had a search and replies to this question are about a year old. Has Apple been able to resolve the heating issue with ipad or are they an inside only device?
I would like one for work where I am an ecologist and require something to record data in the field, unfortunately here in Western Australia it gets pretty warm in summer.
Has anyone had issues with recently manufactured ipad1 or ipad2 over heating in the sun?
Has anyone found a way around this, chilled case?..
Thanks
Mark

I just saw this case in the link below today. It's called an icePad. I don't think it will help for a full eight hours of work, but it might help for a few hours at a time maybe. Since the iPads cooling requirements are so much lower than a laptops you might even be pleasantly surprised.

That particular case doesn't have any reviews, but the laptop cooling pad in the link below has some reviews and it is using the same technique.

Hope that helps.

  • Ipad 2 heat issue solved?

    Anyone know if the ipad 2 fixed the heat issue. On the ipad 1, if you leave it in the car and the temperature gets above a certain temperature, it shuts off until it cools below a certain temperature. Was this fixed?

    That is not a real QC "issue." No consumer portable electronic device is built to withstand triple digit temps inside of a car baking in the sun. Take a look at the specs of any electronic device and it will list the max temp the device can handle on and off. Bottom line if you are going to keep your iPad or any electronic device in a hot car turn it off completely -- not just put it to sleep. Best to not keep it in a car though.

  • 990fxa-gd80v2 over heat issue.

    Had this board for about one year, never over-clocked. Recently it started acting up (mouse/keyboard quit working etc) and has
    now gotten to where the system just shuts down...usually while gaming for about 45 minutes (BF4MP). I used speccy while running P95 and noted the system shuts down when the mother board temp hits 90c, also noted the mobo runs at over 80c while gaming.
    Is there any known issues with this board?  Appreciate any help.

    First issue noted was the mouse cursor began to "skip" across the screen and cursor graphics (icon) began to deteriorate (fuzzy). About the same time, the keyboard stopped working intermittently, I changed usb ports for both the kb/mouse and it cleared up the issue for a short time. The system began to "hang" if the mouse was moved quickly (screen freeze), sometimes it recovers other times a full restart is needed. Of late (3 days), the system just shuts down...usually after 45 minutes of BF4 multi-player. I set vcore voltage to 1.4 but other than that, have not done anything.

  • Battery draining/over heating issues - 925

    hi all,
    ive had this issue for a while now but havnt moaned about it until now but ive just had enough of this constant issue and want some help
    i have the lumia 925 and have the above simptons, i have the lumia amber update and have disabled every setting and background app the only thing i have enabled and running in the backround are -
    touch display is turned on (double tap to wake)
    on my home screen i have the apps -  Photos, Battery,  Bing news, The Weather Chanel, set as live tiles
    the backround apps i have running are -  Battery, Bing News, Facebook and whatsapp
    apart from that all other settings are disabled or off
    i can disable bing news if have to but i dont think this is the issue here as before i was having the exact problem
    one time i noticed a 30% decrease in battery, not to mention the battery got really hot in hand

    Hey Robert,
    If it's anything like my 920, sometimes it gets caught in a CRAZY battery drain cycle. Sometimes it may get hot, sometimes not, but I always make sure that my GPS is working correctly. A lot of times it's not, and I need to reset the phone by either turning it off or holding down the power and volume down buttons.
    Especially check any apps that you may have downloaded that may be using GPS. Also, if you do the power + volume down, always turn your phone off again the normal slide down way afterwards or your live tiles won't update correctly.

  • Video and Over heating issues

    I have 3 issues to ask about.
    o Overheating.-----My laptop gets SUPER hot when playing World of Warcraft. Hot enough that I can not touch the first row of keys on my keyboard, or any part near the video screen.
    o *Video display corruption.*
    -----While playing I get huge amounts of artifacts, and if I don't switch from windowed mode or to it when the artifacts show up, the video seems to degrade until it is un-viewable. (Artifacts to me are random triangles that appear between items in game.)
    o *Left and Right fans.*-----I have installed a program to help called smcFanControl, and it help a little but doesn't resolve anything. One weirdness with that too is it monitors the left and right fan speed in RPMs and it only registers a right fan speed. Is there a left fan too?

    There are indeed left and right fans. You can download a widget from the apple website called iStat Pro that will let you see left and right fan speeds, among other system status features. And yes, I've noticed I run a lot hotter now, perhaps because of the optimization to dual-core. I have smcfancontrol now, but other than setting a minimum fan speed, it doesn't seem very useful.
    What are you at? With it sitting on my desk, no ventilation issues, I have 66°C (28°C ambient) with the fans at 3700 RPM
    Edit: If you put the menu bar option on, it will show you left and right fan speeds when you click on the menu

  • While charging my iPad over heated heated and turned off. I have left it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on

    I Was charging my iPad mini during the day when I came home and the iPad was hot and turned off. I left it for 12 hours and still can not turn my iPad on!!

    try this hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.

  • Component over Heating issue

    i have recently upgraded my HP laptop to Windows 10 since then, one part of my laptop has been getting VERY hot. it is located on the right hand side of the underside of the laptop (next to the CMOS battery). it also has a ventilation grill over it (see image. the red arrow is pointing to the CMOS battery. then next to it there is a small ventilation grill. I want to know what component lays underneath this grill as this is what is overheating thanks

    Its been a day since I posted this, can any expert please share their view on this? Its urgent pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssseeee

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • My ipada mini has over heated and its not starting

    my ipada mini has over heated and its not starting

    What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an ipad mini having a main board over charge issue.  It's a little over a year old.

    I purchase an iPad mini a little over a year ago. Recently, it seems to over heat to the right of the home button, then the screen goes darker.  I turn off, it cools down, turn it on and everything is normal. Unfortunately it's happening more often and the screen darkens when it's hardly even warm, let alone hot.  So apparently it's getting worse. This started a little over a week ago

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • The equipment:       Iphone 4S 16gb VZW with personal hotspot      Ipad 3 32gb wi-fi only        The issue:     I turn on the personal hotspot on the phone, connect to the ipad over wi-fi or bluetooth and surf the web flawlessly. I turn on the VPN on

    The equipment:
    Iphone 4S 16gb VZW with personal hotspot
    Ipad 3 32gb wi-fi only
    The issue:
    I turn on the personal hotspot on the phone, connect to the ipad over wi-fi or bluetooth and surf the web flawlessly. I turn on the VPN on the ipad and cannot access my work network. I check the IP address of the phone prior to the connection of the VPN and it registers a VZW IP that the phone is supposed to broadcast. I turn the VPN in and the ipad reflects the VPN IP address that I'm trying to connect to back to the phone and THAT is what the phone tries to project. My RMS vendor and our network provider have both been identified as not being the culprit. I've spent about 8 hours on the phone with an IOS Senior Advisor and we are both perplexed by this. He has been gracious enough to maintain daily contact with me and he's forwarded it up to those higher than him.
    This worked back in April of this year and quit working in May or June. That means it worked on IOS5 and quit working IOS 5.
    Anyone else having these issues?

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

  • IPad 3 over heat with OS7

    Since I had my iPad 3 updated to Os7 I am noticing that it is getting real hot after short period of using it. We mainly use it for surfing the net and my wife has a puzzle she puts together on it.

    My iPad started heating up recently while using it. Almost too hot to hold???  Never did this before update. The heat is causing massive battery drain as well, what's up is there a fix or is my iPad about to die.

  • Battery Purging and Over heating Phone!

    WHAT?!!  I have assumed that my LG Revolution spontaneously purging the entire battery charge at once then over heating and shutting down was a hardware issue!  Now I find that it is the result of yet ANOTHER OS SOFTWARE upgrade issue?!  OMG are you kidding me?!!  I have been PLAGUED with problems since I was forced to upgrade my android OS to 2.3.6 through Verizon!  I am ready to make ANY change I have to escape this plague!!  I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for android smart phones and premium service through a so called 'premium' provider to have to put up with economy freakin performance Verizon!!!
    I am especially disappointed in Verizon since I took the phone all the way to their coorporate store 5 months ago and all they did was scratch their heads!  They tried to sell me a new battery which also immediately commenced to over heat; so of course the next course of action was to try and sell me a NEW PHONE!
    I've been sitting here with a DEAD VERIZON phone all day AGAIN trying to rescucitate it!!  ****, that **!

    Thank you Verizon; you're right.  Buying a new phone is the fix!  I bought a brand new LG Spectrum at the Verrizon store yesterday and my old LG Revolution immediately began to work perfectly again. That was the fix.  Of course....
    You think this is messed up?  It just gets weirder.  Before going to bed last night I took my new LG Spectrum off a 4 hour charge because it was full.  It slept all night.  When I checked it in the morning it had one missed call and 6 emails; that's it.  The battery charge however was completely on EMPTY!  OMG!!??  What the....?  Yesterday I was rather puzzled by how exceptionally warm/hot it felt while on charge.  The charger plug also felt the same.  It's on charge right now using the supplied charger but I changed it to a different outlet.  It's still very warm/hot.  I'm befungled!!  I live in a 1/2 million $ condo packed with properly working electronics' so it's certainly not a source problem.
    More weirdness:  yesterday I was downloading and re-installing programs and updates to reload my new phone.  A couple of hours later it went on an all out download splurge all on it's own, one after another it was a stream of unwanted downloads I couldn't stop.  I turned off wi-fi, but eventually had to shut down the phone right in the middle of processes..... not a good.   (UPDATE:  solved this issue.  I discovered that all the bloatware pre-installed on the phone further imposes itself by ALSO being set to 'auto update' itself. Oh! cool!  and check this out: it won't let you uninstall any of that sh*t!  Cool huh?   Thanks LG or is it Verizon; I want to be sure to give due credit to whomever is responsible for that *** idea!)
    My new not-so smartphone phone, less than 24 hours old, is already fouled. 
    UPDATE:  5 hours later.  No phone call usage today.  Emails, texts, a few downloads, and some new phone setup configuring today.  Phone is dead after 5 hours of use.  Took old phone off 1 hour charge and of course it was as cool as a cucumber, plugged in new phone and it became hot within minutes.  I think that the solution is to just go back to using landlines....
    Attached below is a photo showing the EKG of the entire life of my NEW phone.  1 day and 7 hours.  Hmph?  And I am already in the forums.  Anyone know what the record is?

  • HP ENVY 17 - Heating issues

    Hello,
    Has anybody found a solution for the extreme heat generated by HP ENVY 17.  
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    I own an HP Envy 17, and I am highly dissatisfied with it.  This computer was purchased when I made the decision to go back to school.  I wanted a computer that would last me for at least four years.  I honestly thought that this was the computer.  I have always bought HP when it came to computers.  Not anymore though.  Since I have had this computer I have had to send it back twice for over heating.  The first time they replaced the thermal module.  I got the computer back and it worked okay for a little while.  Then it started to overheat again.  So I sent it back again.  When I got it back the second time they had to replace a speaker, the optical disc drive. and reseat the thermal module.  To me it was more than obvious that the over heating had caused some other issues within the computer.  The day that I got it back it over heated again!!!!  I called, and was told that it was my wireless mouse that was causing the issue.  I tried explaining to the person that my mouse had nothing to do with over heating.  This person also told me that when they had it the computer never over heated.  I find that kind of hard to believe since they have replaced so many parts, and had to re-seat one of the parts.  Through out this whole ordeal every person that I have talked to has told me that I needed to keep the computer on a flat surface.  So that is what I have done.  Yesterday I called HP yet again because my computer is over heating.  They told me that they would send me the package to send it in for repair.  I told the person that this was unacceptable, and asked to speak to a supervisor.  I wanted one of two things.  I either wanted a brand new machine, or I wanted my money back.  At this point I was told that he did not have a supervisor, and he would have a case manager call me back within 24-48 hours.  I received the phone call today.  The case manager said that he had two options for me.  One option was to have someone come to my house to look at it (but that would be the long way because it could take a couple of weeks), or I could send it in for repair again.  By now I am more than irritated.  I explained to him that his options were not acceptable, and told him the two options that I would accept.  I also asked to talk to his supervisor.  He told me that there was not a supervisor available, and that I would have to call back later.  By this point I am so irritated that I see red.  Before we hung up the phone he told me that whether or not the computer was replaced was under the discretion of HP.  That is all fine, and well.  However this computer has been nothing but problems since it was purchased.  With that being said it is not my fault that the computer is over heating all the time.  The only option for HP is to give me a new machine, or my money back.  [Legal Discussion Removed]  I should not have to send my computer back every couple of months because they have no idea what they are doing.  I will never again buy any HP product.

  • Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2009. Heat Issues

    Hi!
    What can i do?
    I have a macbook pro 13" from 2009.
    The fans are always on 1999 RPM, they never go faster, not even when the computer reaches a temperature of 80° Celcius.
    As soon as I go to youtube to watch a video, the temperature goes up alot, but the fans stays at 1999 RPM and they refuse to go up. So the computer just gets warmer and warmer.
    So I downloaded a program called smcFanControl, and when i watch usually any video on youtube, the temperature goes up to around 64° Celcius with the fans running at around 3500 RPM.
    I can forget about watching ANY HD 720p video on youtube, because then the computers temperature reaches at least 70° Celcius even with the fans running at 4000RPM.
    I am SO sick of this heat issue.
    What can i do?
    The room I am in, isnt even warm. My sisters Sony Vaio is at 40° Celcius when watching the same HD 720p video.
    And this problem doesnt only occur when I watch HD videos, i get it no matter what video I watch on youtube. Highly annoying.
    Why cant my macbook pro control the fans automaticly? Is there any program that i can use so it controls the fans automaticly? Because I am SO tired of controlling the fans all the time, i need to control them when I go to youtube, when i go to expressen.se (Swedish news online), I need to control them when using videocall via skype, yeah almost all the time!
    Does anyone have the same problem? Or any idea what to do? It doesnt even matter if I'm downstairs in the livingroom where its really cold, I cant watch videos on youtube without the temperature reaching sickingly 80°celcius, or 64°Celcius with the fan running faster, which I have to do manually by the way.
    I would just love for my macbook to control them automaticly, I hate that i have to do it.
    Please help.
    I run Mac Os X 10.6.3 (Snow leopard), I have a 2,26 Ghz Macbook Pro 13 inch from mid 2009.
    SMC-version 1.47f2
    Please help,
    Kind regards

    Hi again PatrikK,
    The temperature that SMCFanControl reports itself is the CPU A temperature diode one from what I can see. As a test I ran SMCFanControl alongside Marcel Bresink's excellent shareware program "Hardware Monitor" , which provides much more detailed information about temperatures , speeds, power demand, etc etc, than SMC is able to do, to test this and the CPU A temp diode was certainly the closest to the Hardware Monitor readings. On the video pages of the Swedish newspaper site it was generally about 10ºC hotter than the CPU core temperatures, which were generally in the 60'sC, while the CPU A diode was in the 70'sC.
    So, with your CPU Diode temp at 80ºC the CPU core temps were probably only at about 70C, which, as I said, is about where the fan speeds actually usually start to increase under normal MacOSX control. (The algorithms used to determine fan speed in Macs aren't actually based on CPU temperature alone, but depend on the readings from various temperature sensors, together with measurement of electrical current draw etc, so no single CPU temperature is responsible)
    All in all, when I look back at your earlier post as well, I think your MBP is probably simply operating normally in the situations you mention. It certainly won't be doing it any harm (the maximum CPU core temperatures allowable for the 13" model are either 90ºC or 100ºC, depending on the actual procesor fitted, and this equates to a CPU A temperature diode - the one your software is measuring - of over 100ºC.) At 80º CPU A temperature the fans should only just be starting to increase, and you will find that they cut in quite aggressively from then on in, making sure that the core temperatures are not exceeded.
    So I don't think you need to worry about this situation in terms of the computer itself, though you should certainly be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat if you follow the approaches I mentioned with respect to Flash etc in my earlier post.
    If your concern is mainly comfort when using the computer, all I can suggest is that you follow Apple's own instructions about these computers being "notebooks", not "laptops", and when using it in a comparatively "high demand" situation such as watching flash videos use it on a desk, or do what I do and simply stick it on a thin plastic or wooden board when it is resting on my knees. There are all sorts of fancy "laptop cooler" devices out there that you can spend money on if you wish, with everything from powered fans to chemically based cooling processes, but I've always found that a light weight $2 plastic chopping board from Ikea does the job perfectly well in such situations!
    Cheers
    Rod
