My battery gets really hot but not a recalled number
my battery (serial A1045 HQ344) gets really hot - unbearable on my legs even through trousers. has anyone else had this problem. as it is not covered by the recall program is there a way of alerting apple to it? i have read the other posts on hot batteries.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Call AppleCare. In the UK there is this number:
(44) 0870 876 0753
Though according to this article, that amount of heat is not unheard of:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30612
If you see other symptoms or your hardware test:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86287
reveals something abnormal about your machine, definitely give AppleCare a call.
Note your machine is under a 1 year hardware warranty when you buy it, and if you buy AppleCare before that one year is up, you can extend both hardware and software Apple coverage to 3 years from computer's purchase.
Otherwise you are given a per incident fee, and repair costs for parts and labor out of the Applecare plan if something needs repair. For more on how AppleCare works, see this page:

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!The hotness indicate a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If not abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no coast. otherwise the exchange price is $149. -
In the last few weeks my Macbookpro gets really hot and my battery that attaches also gets really hot. Should I replace the battery charger?
Before doing that, what are the battery's statistics from the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power, the Condition of the battery, capacity, charge remaining, voltage, current.
The Condition should say Normal, if not, may need service. -
I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.
Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

I've had the computer for 2 1/2 years and it started getting really noisy about 4 months ago. I'm using rulers to elevate the computer above the surface of the table to prevent overheating, but its still getting really hot and the fan is still making a lot of noise on and off. Could this be a battery issue?

why does my iphone 4s gets really hot even though im not using it, battery drain's 2% every 5 minutes.. and its just in my pocket,. what will i do?
some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

IPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??
iPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??
Try some of these to save battery time:
Settings>Notifications>[Turn off any notifications you don't need]
Settings>General>Software Update (Make sure you're up to date)
Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper> Auto-Brightness on (And that your brightness is not to the max)
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Turn off/Stop apps from using it
Settings>Bluetooth>Off
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Manually
Settings>Wi-Fi> Off (When you don't need internet when you're out and about)
To stop overheating, note these:
Operating Temperatures: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)
Non-Operating Temperatures: -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F)
Hope this helps! -
MY IPHONE 3GS START TO GET REALLY HOT, AND AFTER THAT ALMOST EXPLODE...ITS BROKEN NOW.... THE BATTERY GETS FAT... WHATS THE SOLUTION NOW???
Unfortunately it looks like your 3GS' battery has expanded so much that it cracked the whole case wide open. If you have AppleCare on your device then you're all set, just take it to your local Apple Store.
If not, then still take it to the store. Complain about the battery bursting, and make sure to tell them that it's for sure a defect (you'd think it's obvious, but sometimes you just need to drive the point in), and that it potentially could have been and still be a hazard.
Remind them that the phone has not been in any adverse conditions, extreme temperatures, or abused in any way but that you just merely used it normally. (I'm assuming that's the truth?)
If they're good about it they should replace the broken phone for you; but unfortunately there's little chance of repairing your current device. -
IPhone 4 battery drains really fast and phone gets really hot
I have an iPhone 4 and since November 15 my battery has been draining really fast and gets really hot when I use the phone. When I try to charge the phone with my computer it doesn't charge, but only charges with the wall hub. I have tried deleting the email accounts, deleting all apps, restoring with the backup, restoring without the backup, and still no luck. I went to the Apple store and they briefly looked at it and said it had water damage by looking at the water damage indicator in the charging port. They told me I needed to pay $150 for a new phone. I don't recall getting my phone getting wet and it seems to work fine except for the battery drain and the computer charging problem. iTunes still recognizes the phone. I thought it was a battery problem so I ordered a new battery and replaced it myself and the battery was still draining fast. When I had the phone open the other water damage indicators were still white (no water damage), it was just the charging port indicator that was red (water damaged). Also, when I charge my phone with the wall hub it charges very slowly. I have ran out of ideas and I could really use some suggestions. Thank you.
i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

My iPod touch 4G will not charge. I charged it and when I got it off charge it was really hot but showed it was fully charge then when I turned it on again the battery was dead. Now it won't charge. Please help thanks!
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I suspect you have a hardware problem. -
Iphone 5 keeps getting really hot and draining the battery...How to resolve?

My phone froze up after last update and I can't use it at all. I think the battery is fried as well. It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it and now it won't charge at all.
Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still nothing try Reset while on Wall Charger, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on Charger. If still nothing and you decide to Restore you iPhone with iTunes on computer, you may need to use DFU Mode Restore. Here are steps: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

hi i was using safari one day and my ipod randomly shut off it will now not turn back on i tried hard resting and everything else when i plug the ipod into a charger it gets really hot in the left corner and itunes did not recognize any help will be apreciated thank you
Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem. -

IPad 3 gets really hot. Is this normal?
My ipad3 gets really hot while using...is this normal?
I actually have this problem with an old iPad. I have used it for over 3 years, and in the last few weeks, both my wife's iPad and mine have started getting very hot during extended use. I don't see anything in the discussion, but is this a function of IOS 8.0.2, rather than dependent on the iPad? I cannot say for sure we noticed it right at the time we did the OS upgrade, but it seems like it was about that time. Just to be really clear, the heating is recent behavior. It did not happen for the first 3 years we had our ipads. Now they get so hot we cannot keep using them on our laps after 20-30 minutes. And is is not the weather or ambient temperature. It happens when it is 65 F. Have not been able to find out why, or how to limit whatever processes are generating the extra heat.
also, battery life got shorter. Probably because so much energy is turning into heat.
