Is it normal for it to heat up?

Hi, I just got and set up an airport express so that it would be ready when my iPad arrives today but I did have a question. It heats up. Is that normal?
Thanks,
Martha

How much does it heat up? Too hot to touch? Uncomfortably hot? Slightly warm? How warm it is where you are (ambient temperature cooling ability)?
[Tech. specs for Airport Express|http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html] include:
Electrical and environmental requirements
* 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz; input current: 0.2 amp
* Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
A 0.2 amp draw at 100 volts would be like having a 20 watt lightbulb going (but then too some of the power will be going to radio waves, not heat).

Is it normal for iPhone 4 to heat up a lot during use?

When I use my iPhone 4 it tends to heat up a lot, even at the side of the phone where the sim card slot is. Is this normal?

Hello Vmurphy96,
When troubleshooting temperature, please refer to the following article:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
By all means, if you believe the temperature is a concern, you can isolate the issue by restoring your iPhone as new:

Is it normal for the phone battery to heat up?

I own a Nokia 5800, and purchased it back in 2009. Basically, I have started to notice that the charge only lasts about a day or so, nothing more, which means i have to charge it fully every day. I would expect it to last longer, like it did before (sorry, i can't remeber how long it used to last before, never bothered really, to tell the truth).
Another concern of mine is that it heats up alot while watching videos or GPS, especally while watching youtube videos on the inbuilt web browser (using flash that is). When I say "it heats up", i mean i can literally use it as a heater if my hands are cold. If I take off the back cover after watching youtube videos, its blazing (ie. very hot)! I don't want the intenal circuit, sim card or battery cover to melt... or am i being a bit too cautious? I definately don't want it to catch fire, although i doubt it wil lol
So, is this normal for the Nokia 5800 or not? If not then what should I do?
Thnx!

It is normal for the phone to heat up when using processor intensive programmes like video or Navigation, depending on usage, a day isn't 'that' bad, but you can buy replacement batteries quite cheap, I have a 1900mAh one in my N97 !

and the battery wont last for morethan 4 or 5 hours while it supposed to last for 9 hours according to Apple.
so guys is this normal ?
Thanks ,

i've did some search on the same issue and it really seems like everyone have it , even thou at apple reseller showroom here in Doha-Qatar the sales man told me this a such issue in the retina macbooks and apple has admit it and you must take it to the service center and change it , while at the service center said a totally different things and that its fine to get heat ..
in meanwhile my way back i pass by another apple reseller showroom and they clearly said if ur mack gets heat u must go and change it ...
im really lost and i have no idea whats goin on here and whom should i listen to .. i hope someone from APPLE support will read this and reply us whats goin on ?

Is it normal for a facecam clip to lag while making a gaming video

I want to make gaming videos, but the facecam clips are laggy. I'm on the trial version, if that affects it.

one of the reasons i ask this is that on the technical details page it says that the operating temperature is 10 - 35 degrees celsius
The 10 - 35 degrees celsius temp mentioned on the technical details page is the outside ambient atmospheric Air temperature and not the macbook pro’s inside temperature... No need to worry.
It depends upon the contains of the web page you are browsing. I have seen on my retina macbook pro the temperature above 60 degrees celsius if I’m browsing through heavy contain website or any parallax contain website. Also, if you scroll down quickly, the retina display has to work a lot harder to render those million pixels so in turn the CPU and GPU generates a lot of heat. Trust me its normal for a webpage to reach at 70 degrees celsius depending on the web contain as I myself am a retina Macbook pro user.
To be extra safe you can reset your SMC......
Resetting the SMC - A macbook with a battery you can't remove by yourself. (Built-in battery)
Step 01. Shut down your MacBook.

While using Skype on my iphone 4s i found the phone was heated up. It was very warm. I had used for 1 hour or so. Is this normal for other users aswell ?
And also sometimes when i get the call no matter how much i try to slide the cursor, it doesn't move. I miss those calls. It looks like it is freezed. Has this
happened to others too?

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

Is This Normal For A Retina MacBook Pro??

Hello, I am an owner of a MacBook Pro With Retina Display. And I game sometimes on bootcamp, while I was playing Far Cry 3 on max settings,DirectX 11, Alpha to coverage enhanced with 2x MSAA anti-aliasing on 1920x1200 (seeing that these are the smoothest settings for me), I noticed that after about 1-1:30 hours of gaming, load times were noticeably longer and if I continued playing the game would crash to the "Application has stopped responding" window. So I tried again and when the load times started to lengthen I would put a cold pillow under the machine and the problem would disappear.. Is this normal for a rMBP or not (the crashing)?
And is this due to overheating? If yes, what would be the best solution to overcome this?

I made the assumption that they are playing it on a pillow completely and then they replaced the hot pillow with a cold pillow and it helped the issue temporarily. I would bet money that the problem is caused by heat control. I know first hand bootcamp doesn't manage the temp as good as OS X through experience. I had this exact problem with a different game on a different MBP and it was resolved by installing a fan controller so that I could increase the fan speed before the temp reached a high enough point to cause the program to crash. Also, the specs of a 15 inch retina exceed the minimum requirements for the game and meet the recommended requirements. I am unsure about the 13 inch retina. Which retina are you using?

Is it normal for battery to drain 10% every hour and phone getting extremely hot

My iphone 4 (replacement I got during the summer) heats up every so often. If i'm browsing, the side where the sim card is located heats up, pretty much everything I do the phone heats up. But the biggest issue is that my phone drains 10% every hour.
I have 5.0.0. When I charge my phone, the phone heats up. I never charge with the wall charger. I always charge using USB and my macbook.
I had my phone charged up to 100%. I made a 10 minute phone call, and sent some text messages, and my phone is already at 91%.
When i tether to my laptop, the phone heats up.
Before I got my replacement, I NEVER had any battery issues, i NEVER had any heating issues.
I took it to genius. And the guy told me that it is NORMAL for battery to be drained quickly. And that it is NORMAL that my phone warms up.
I even got him to feel how warm my phone gets, and he said "oh that is just normal"
How is this normal? I don't have any more warranty, but i feel like apple gave me a crappy replacement.

No, it's not normal. Turn of whatever is using Location services, based on your description that is my first guess is that something is using location services constantly and draining the battery.
If that's not the case then some other app is running in the background.
Restore as new... use the device in the "new" "pristine" state for a day or so, does the issue persist? If it does, you definitely have a hardware issue that Apple needs to address.
If it does not persist, then start restoring apps, one or two at a time until you find the one that is the culprit.

Normal for Macbook Pro to be at 70 degrees Celsius when only Chrome, Itunes, and Adium is open?

I just got my macbook pro two days ago, and I realised it's heating up enough for me to take notice. I use my laptop on the table, in a well-ventilated room.
I downloaded istat pro and realised my CPU temperature was up to 70-80 Celsius, with just itunes playing (with visualiser on), adium open (with no on-going conversations), and my chrome open (with a couple of tabs on apple forums). The fanspeed can range from 2500 to over 3000 rpm. I checked my Activity Monitor and the only significant activity comes from itunes.
Is it normal for a MBP to heat up so much with such mundane activity?

If the CPU temperature of your machine rises into the high 90s (C.) and stays there even with the fans running at or near 6000RPM, then you may have a problem of some kind that requires attention. If the CPU temperature ever reaches 105°C, the MBP will shut down for its own protection. That is the upper limit of the CPU's safe operating range, according to Intel's specifications.

Is it normal for files to go missing from an external hard drive?

I've posted about this issue before but for slightly different reasons. I'm about to buy a new hard drive (the old one is full), probably I'll go for the exact same model, and I want to know if the problem I had described here has happened to Mac users.
I use a Retina MBP with OS X 10.8.4 that also runs Windows 8 on boot camp. At the same time I have an Acer Aspire and what I used to do is download movies onto my external drive with my MBP in Mac - I would also rename the files in Mac - and then connect the drive to my Acer so I could access the movies there.
One day I noticed that some of the files, after I had renamed and moved them to a new folder on the same partition, had gone missing. As I described in my old thread, it was a weird problem because those "missing" files would appear in Windows but not in Mac. But even in Windows when you could see the folders, they were all corrupted as the system indicated to me - the folders couldn't be accessed and the movies wouldn't play.
Thankfully I haven't had this issue again but then I haven't dared to move any of my movies to a new folder either. Not since that incident. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have lost those movies and had them corrupted if I had kept them in their original location. Is it normal for files to go missing or be corrupted when you move them back and forth, especially when you use an external drive with one OS (Mac) and then switch to another (Windows)? I've always wondered if this was an issue. I never formatted the drive when I got it, I just plugged it in and used it. That was before I bought my MBP.
I also was unable to delete those corrupted files/folders. Windows wouldn't let me and in Mac, they didn't even show up. I solved this eventually by using Disk Utility to repair the drive.
Now I'm fine with letting my files stay put if that's what it takes to keep them safe and secure, but I'd be more comfortable if I can understand what went wrong all those months ago.
The hard drive I have is this one from Samsung.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

Is it normal for someone to have general diffuculty charging an ipad? I see the "not charging" message even when I am using the charger and cord that came in the original box, plugged into a wall socket directly. It is normal for me to plug it in overnight and to see no charge whatsoever the next day. I have never had so much trouble using a friggin charger in my life. It just seems to be exceedingly finicky. What am I missing?

Charging your iPad should not be problematic. It should be an easy thing to do using the charger provided with your iPad connected to a known good wall outlet.
The charging problem you are experiencing is most like caused by:
1. A faulty charger
2. A faulty cable
3. A bad wall outlet
4. A problem in the iPad.
The first three of these are easiest to eliminate. Try a for ends charger and cable. Make absolutely sure your outlet is good. Try other outlets.
If the charger, cable and outlet a proven to be good then the problem lies in the iPad.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Alig,
Standard Manager is running this request, Import Item program request after the completion, creating Item categories for this it is taking time, that is the reason another import items request is waiting for the Item categories program to be completed.You need to find out why the "Item Categories" takes that long to complete.
Do you have the statistics up to date?
Enable trace as per these docs to find out why the request takes that long.
