IPhone 5 getting really really hot when plugged into MacBook Pro Retina?

Hi
I have had my Macbook for about 1 month and I recently discovered that my phone is getting extremely hot while charging through USB port.
I was not sure if it was my phone as I was having issues with volume buttons, so was not sure if I had some dodgy software or something. So I went to the apple store and it was replaced as it was actually a hardware issue.
But then with my new replacement iphone 5 I am still having the same issue of the phone becoming unbearable to touch because it is so hot!
Does anyone know if there is an issue with the Macbook Pro Retina's giving out too much power and whether I should go and see someone about the issue ? But in the mean time is it still okay for my phone to be charge this way?
Thanks
Elle

"So far so good on the iPhone but it does not appear to be charging when I have it plugged into my MacBook Pro."
My iPhone charges when connected to my MacBook.
"FYI...the Edge Network out here in Wichita (of all freaking places) Kansas is pretty darn fast. I was really, pleasantly surprised. It does not help my heartbreak over moving to this burg from Sausalito but it helps a little."
Even data is anxious to leave Wichita, it seems .. and wants to linger in Sausalito

  • IPod error message when plugged into Macbook Pro

    My iPod will charge to my Macbook Pro for a moment or so then I get an error message stating that "This device or accessory is not supported..yadda yadda yadda" I have never had this happen in the past. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    T4,
    Then the pods that you have seem not to electrically match with your Mac, as the others that you tried seemed ok, am I right in this understanding?
    On the iPhone it has a very unique plug configuration that seems to set specifically for the iPhone, because it is a 4 conductor connector (one is for the microphone) that may make other pods not work properly. (yes this is an Apple thing, AAAAARRRRGGGG!!!!)
    But that would then confirm that there is not anything wrong with your Mac, as those Apple pods are for the iPhone, I guess both good and bad news.
    I don't use my iPhone to listen to music, nor do I use pods either, unless the artist I am working with is, then I use the same make and model so I can "hear what they hear".
    I do pro audio for a living and I can understand this "crosstalk issue with the 4th connector"
    But without getting too technical,  it would seem your Mac is just fine, which is a good thing.
    I would think that the newer Macs will be more compatible with the Apple iPhone pods, but they all seem to have their issues with the switching system...for years now!
    Hope this helps you understand this "FRUIT FLY"
    My suggestion is to use "regular headphones/ear pods with your Mac and the Apple iPhone pods with the phone. )I only have ever used the iPhone pods with the iPhone when I'm driving, and with only the iPhone. I have much better sounding pods/phones that I use to "ACTUALLY' listen to music with....and it a'int MP3/4
    Peace SJP

  • My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • IPhone 4S only powers on when plugged into a wall charger, stuck in bootloop

    Today I went to get my phone's screen fixed. At first, the problem was that the phone was rebooting every 3-4 minutes. Then, after it died, it doesn't power on anymore, except when it is plugged into a wall charger. However, it is stuck in a bootloop, where it shows the apple logo for about 7 seconds, then the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then repeats. I can't unplug it or else the phone goes dead, and plugging it into my computer results in the same deadness. I've tried DFU Mode, Recovery and everything else when plugged into my computer, but it remains dead and black screened. The phone is not picked up at all, it doesn't power on or anything. It only powers on when it is wall charged, but it will bootloop. I can't get past this, and there is no way I can restore it. Help?

    Your battery is dead. You will have to replace it see article:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • HT3964 noisey dvd drive when using with macbook pro retina?

    I bought a new macbook pro retina 15" and used the apple external dvd drive to watch a movie and the drive was extremely loud and vibratory - to thr point of nearly not able to hear the movie. I then tried the same drive with the the same dvd with a macbook air and it did not have this issue. Anyone know how to solve the sound issue when using the dvd drive with a macbook pro retina 15"?  Thank you.

    Thank you - it is the DVD driver I purchased over a year ago with a Mac book air - I wondered whether they have since updated the DVD driver and therefore wondered about compatibility. I also wondered whether it had to do with the fact that I was on battery power when this happened any further thoughts appreciated.

  • My iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into clock radio. What's wrong?

    So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. I tried removing it & re-seating it...nothing. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal.
    Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it.
    I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. I just unpacked it and set it up. When I docked the iPhone on it...you guessed it...nothing. It is still not charging. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. I am out of ideas. I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. But the likelihood of 2 completely different clock radios exhibiting the same problem is virtually non-existent.
    As mentioned, I tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Docking the phone to a standard charging cable plugged into the wall charges the phone fine. Docking the phone on an iPhone compatable dock charges the phone fine. Is the problem with my phone?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
    What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
    Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
    If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
    I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

  • Iphone 4s data will not work + does not show up when plugged into macbook.

    I need to try to reset my iphone because it is not allowing me to use data on the phone even though my carrier had verified all the settings are correct and that I have unlimited data on my plan. Every time I try to access the internet on the phone without wifi connected I get an error message saying "could not activate cellular data network" or "you are not subscribed to a cellular data network."
    However, when I plug my iphone 4s into my macbook pro it is recognized and shown in itunes, however I cannot download photos (iphoto shows an error message saying "no camera found") and the phone does not show up on my desktop or finder. I find alot of people have a problem with the iphone not showing up AT ALL, but mine works in itunes, just nowhere else on my computer.
    I have tried to use icloud to back it up, but when I log onto icloud with my macbook to see what data is there and try to access my photos, only my contacts and a few other apps I dont need show up. No photos at all.

    If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked.  Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

    When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2. 
    When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter.  The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further.  One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie.  Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped.  When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 5 won't charge when plugged into lightning connector one way but if it flips then it works

    My iPhone 5 won't charge when it's plugged into the lightning connector one way but if I flip it then it works. It's not my charger because it's the same way with other chargers. What's wrong with my phone?

    Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

  • Lexar USB plugged into Macbook Pro stops wireless connection from working

    Just purchased a Macbook Pro recently.  Noticed today that when a USB stick was plugged in (Lexar 32 GB USB 3.0) was plugged in, the wireless networking could not connect to any network services. 
    Finder kept trying to get to the network storage and failing or timing out.  Time Machine failed to reach the server.
    Unplugging the USB stick fixed the problem.
    Anyone seen this before?

    Thanks again for your help Rod!
    One of the first things I tried was different combinations of devices to see if it may have been the device just not powering up. The main device I use is an official Apple wired keyboard, because at home I connect my MBP to my monitor and use a separate keyboard and mouse. I have tried other devices too with the same result, they only work when the dock is connected. I have tried connecting my iPhone via USB cable, i have a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive, which only lights up if the dock is connected, and I have a 4 port USB hub with a power LED on it, which again only lights up when the dock is connected.
    I looked in system profiler, and it says the USB ports are there, but doesn't recognise any devices plugged in, other than the dock. However, when the dock is plugged in, for example, it recognises the Apple keyboard in the other port.
    I took two screen shots, one of system profiler without the dock plugged in (USB keyboard still plugged in but not showing up), and another of when I plugged the dock in.
    Without Dock:
    With Dock:
    It might be worth pointing out that the HDD dock has two USB ports on it, which is what is highlighted in the second pic.
    I have also tried rebooting the computer with devices already attached but with the same result again. I've tried booting it with the dock and the keyboard attached, with just the keyboard, with just the dock, but either way unless the dock is connected, nothing else will work via USB.
    I just want to say thanks again Rod, it's very kind of you to spend your time trying to help me, and it is really appreciated!
    I'm going to contact Apple support shortly and see if they can offer a solution, or see if I can send it in for repair, which I am reluctant to do seeing as it's my only computer
    Cheers!

  • Thumb Drive write protected after plugging into MacBook Pro

    So I recently plugged my 64GB thumb drive into my MacBook Pro to transfer music from my old mac to my new one.  Although as soon as I plugged into the MacBook Pro, it write protected it rendering it useless as I do not wish to use it as a storage drive for 60 songs!  It is not even 1/2 full and because I plugged it into a MacBook Pro I can't use it anymore!?  It is formatted to MS-FAT, and previously I had plugged it into my 09 MacBook with no problems!  Please help me Make it a read and write again!!!  The thumb drive is only a week old!!!  There are no virus' as I have had the music on my Mac for 5 years and it has all come from the iTunes store!!!

    Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and try running the Repair Disk command on it. If that command’s not available or doesn’t work, copy your files off and try getting a replacement.
