MBP very hot and now battery is fried ?

To all the MBP experts out there......maybe you can help ?
1. My MBP (46 months old) has been running VERY hot........that is, if you use it while putting it on your lap (bare skin contact), you'll get burned after a short while.
2. My battery (only 1 year old, 170 cycles) is dying, and the MBP switches itself to sleep mode when the charge reaches about 40-50%. From full charge, it only takes about 30 minutes to reach 40-50%.
Here's the tricky one.......Coconut battery could say that max capacity is 55% one day, and 80% another day, and then 35% another day..........what's with the variability ??
Help...........I'm confused.........time to get a new MBP ?

Since your Mac is fairly old, nearly 4 years, it is more then likely clogged with dust in the fan intake and exhaust area.
First thing to do is clean the dust out.
Second thing to do is take it to and Apple Genius Bar or AASP and have it checked for the Bad NVidia Graphic chip as your model is one of these.
MacBook Pro: NVidia Failure
Good Luck.

My iPhone 5 is getting very hot and battery drains quickly.. normal?

I've been having a variety of signal related problems with my iPhone 5 and I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice. From day 1 I have observed that my phone will have poor signal strength or will switch from 4G or LTE into Edge mode, even if my wife standing right next to me (same network same iphone 5) has better signal. Phone also frequently gets quite hot (to were it's uncomfortable to hold).
I did a long hike last weekend and in the space of 3.5 hours, while doing nothing but listening to music and taking a few photos, the phone was nearly drained (20%). If I tried to take a photo it would simply shut down after pressing the shutter button. I also had no signal (phone was searching), even though other AT&T iphone users around me had signal and were texting, making calls and sending photos (this was from a mountain top so the temps were quite low).
Apple diagnosed the radio in my phone and said it is fine (good attenuation and no dropped calls). They recommended that I wipe the phone and set it up as a new phone versus restoring from a backup (what a pain). I did this and while returning from an outing yesterday I had 3 bars of LTE signal and noticed that with just light browsing the phone got very very warm and the battery was draining quickly. In the space of just an hour the phone plummeted from 75% to 30%.
I'm trying to determine if all of this is "normal" or if I should demand a replacement phone. I have tons of Macs, iPads, iPhones, etc (for both myself and my wife) and I've never seen Apple so reluctant to do a hardware swapout as they were when I was in the store yesterday.

Did you transfer the backup for your 3GS to your iPhone 4S?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
If no change after a reset and you transferred the backup for your 3GS to your 4S, try restoring your 4S with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from a backup to see if this makes any difference.

Can some 1 help me, since yesterday when i bought this phone, my device very hot and drain my battery so fast

can some 1 help me, since yesterday when i bought this phone, my device very hot and drain my battery so fast, i've already turn off what ever i can , especially for time zone,but still drain my battery so fast, anybody know how to solve? my ios is new

I had the same problem and went to see the genius bar and they swapped it no problem. The heat is because the battery is draining fast not the other way round. iPhones do get hot sometimes but not always with fast battery drain. They have a powerful processor and no fan so they will get warm when thinking hard.

My mac be very hot and the underside becomes larger.

Sorry for my bad english

Take your Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider.
Do not try to take it apart. The battery could be expanding.
Check to see if your warranty is still good here > Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
If you mean trade the Mac you have now for a new one at an Apple Store? No, they do not take trade ins.

I phone 4s got hot and now does not turn on.

Good morning!
My fiance's iPhone 4s does not turn on. This morning I unpluged it from the charger and as usal played some radio on the dock (logitech mm50) via internet.
In half an hour we were ready to leave. Neither she, nor me had noticed when the phone had stoped playing radio... When my fiance touched the phone it was very hot. Now I can not swich it on.
I am trying to get it alive by holding both buttons (home and power) for 10sec, one by one, connecting to ituns is unposible too
Does anybody know what to do befor taking it to the repair shop?
Sincerely Iliyan

Hello there, Cruiser22.
The following article speaks to the issue of the iPhone reaching excessive temperatures:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures

Specifically this recommendation:
To resume use of your device as quickly as possible, turn it off, move it to a cooler environment, and allow it to cool down.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My Iphone 6+ gets very hot and the screen pops up a little

My Iphone 6+ gets very hot and the screen pops up a little. Is that normal any one experience this before?

I did yesterday. They inspect and repaired it. And gave me back my phone and claim that its was not assembled well at start. was an un aglinment. They have fixed it and aglined it according to them. I dont feel that that could be the reason. I have used it for half a yr already now then its un aglinment appears?

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

My macbook pro was on sleep mode, and when i opened it again, it wouldn't come off the black screen. It is very hot and also doesn't respond to the power button...

My macbook pro was "asleep". I opened it later, and the screen wouldn't change from black.. The bottom of the laptop is very hot and making a hissing/whirring sound. I tried hitting the power button to turn it off, but the conditions just stayed the same. It doesn't respond to the power button, and the screen just stays black. How do i fix this?!

I will go to the Apple store. I just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone had a solution. They repaired this macbook before twice. The last time they replaced several things to fix the screen. I just threw out the question to see if someone could save me the trip to the store.
I was curious if the new programs (like lego games) can cause the computer to run to a point to blank the screen.
And curious if there are other things I can try to get the screen up and running.

Time machine back up is very slow and now has restarted

Just bought a new 500gb G Drive at the Apple Store to use on my MBP. Got home, connected the drive and launched Time Machine. Said the back would take 10 days . I figured, OK that's slow but at least it will get done. Checked the MBP this AM and now -- after saying there was 2 days left to complete the back up of about 90 gb remaining - it has apparently restarted and now shows only 2gb as backed up.
I ran "sudo tmdiagnose" because I read on one of the other boards here that it would successfully have TM backup at normal speed ... but it did not work.
Help please...

Ipod Touch 3g Got hot and now won't turn on

I have an iPod touch 3g, 8gb's to be specific. I forgot the password to get into it, so I plugged it into my computer in order to reset the whole thing. I plugged it in and it connected, but after three seconds or so it disconnected. I tried plugging it in again, but the computer didn't notice anything plugged in.
I looked on the internet for some advice and I learned that I could hold the power button and the power button at the same time for somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds to restart it. I did that. The iPod turned off, but it got really hot and now won't power on plugged in or not.
What caused this? It's written all over this website that doing that would just reset the iPod, not kill it! Did it toast the motherboard?

The cable should not cause a problem unless it was really damaged and had power going to the wrong contacts.
Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
However, th heating may indicate a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If that magnet was strong enough, it may have damaged your hard drive. You'll have to bring it in and see if you can get it repaired/replaced.
