Is it normal for iPad 4 to get warm when charging?

Both the iPad and charger get warm.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Iphone get warm when charging?

    so i have a agent18 case for my ihpne when i charge it gets warm is that normal?
    also my wifi is on would it help if i turn the wifi off when not n use?
    thanks

    Yes, it's normal for the phone to get warm when charging; too hot to touch would be a problem. Good idea to remove it from the case when charging though.
    And yes, get into the habit of turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use, as they are major battery drainers.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPad mini adapter gets hot when charging?

    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 iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

    My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast.  I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
    thanks for your help

    Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
    Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

  • Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013 gets warm when charging !

    My relatively new MacBook Pro Retina 13" late 2013 gets really warm when charging only and the power block gets kind of hot too !
    shout I be worried or that's a normal thing ?

    Has to do with software compatiability and the OS.
    I would check with sketchbook pro / corel painter 12  for a update. Sometimes version upgrades lag behind before a more compatible release.

  • My iPod gets warm when charging, but is unresponsive otherwise.

    My iPod Touch 5G went blank screen on me.  Nothing works with the exception of the iPod getting warm after plugged into my computer for a while.  Nothing is bugged on my computer, trying to force restore didn't work, and last but certainly not least, it won't register on iTunes at all, nor under my computer.  A $400 investment is about to explode in my face if I don't get any other advice, and I am also no where near an apple store.  Please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs They do not fix yours.

  • Just bought an ipad2 for my wife and d display is not as sharp as mine and it gets warm when in use and mine does not. Mine is 32gb and hers is 16gb

    Just bought an ipad2 for my wife and d display is not as sharp as mine and it gets warm when in use and mine does not. Mine is 32gb and hers is 16gb

    Bunzez-
    I agree.  Mine is 64gb, and the most warmth I notice seems to be where I was holding it.
    The result of excess heat would be that its battery would run down faster than it should.  With a full charge, it should run at least eight hours, maybe ten.  Someone mentioned that their iPad charge went down ten percent per hour.
    The iPad normally stays on all the time, and is put to sleep by pressing the Sleep button.  In the sleep mode, it draws extremely low current, so the battery does not run down for many days.  With yours in the sleep mode, does it still get hot?
    Regardless, I think the display problem is reason enough to take it to the Apple Store Genius.  If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • My apple charger gets warm while charging ipad2, is this common?

    My apple charger gets warm while charging ipad2, is this common?

    This is common if you left it alone for a bundle of minutes. It is supplying volts of electricity to the iPad's batter from the outlet.

  • Gets hot when charging !

    I'm new to the shuffle, and having problems... is it normal the shuffle gets hot when charging?? and orange light never goes green..., it also freezes my computer... I had to remove and reinstall itunes... that will help??
    thanks

    I am having the same problems and lots more. I loaded new Itunes software; loaded new software for the shuffle and changed USB ports and nothing changes. Still getting very very hot. I am thinking that sending it back for replacement is the only way to fix this. I have three 1st Gen. shuffles and they are still working fine but this 2nd Gen isn't much of an improvement; other than the physical size.

    The pwer adapter will become very warm when charging while using the computer. It will cool down considerably when the battery becomes fully charged. It happens to me as well.

  • 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.
