My iPad 2 just started getting hot after brief use.  What is it?

I have had my iPad 2 for 3 years, never had a problem.  It just started getting very warm after using it for just a short time.  Is this something that needs to be resolved immediately?  Would an Apple store be able to help me?

Glad that was it, simple fix!
Don't be too quick to blame your granddaughter, the brightness control is very easily changed from Control Center with just an errant tap or swipe, and I swear it moves on its own sometimes

  • Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    The iPad should not get hot after 30 minutes of use. The new iPad will get warmer that the other two iPads did, but it should never get hot.
    If you are playing a HD graphic intense game or watching a HD movie it will get warmer than it does when you are just surfing the web or doing basic functions in word processing apps, or writing emails a but it should still never get hot.
    Is your iPad brand new or has this been going on for a while?

  • E4200 - Gets hot after prolonged use

    Pros: Nice looking. Can turn the back port lights off (but can't turn the glowing white Cisco light off).
    Cons: Gets hot (to me) after prolonged use, so I have a side propped up on a coaster pending buying some padded feet for it. Web interface slower to load than expected.
    Using with my Dell XPS M1530 with Intel 4965AGN wireless card. Foot away from my router I get about 12MB/sec (about 100mbps). Only saving grace is the range appears to be excellent in my 2000 sq ft townhouse. Router is in one corner 2nd-floor bedroom, and even at the furthest point away in my basement I get about 6 MB/s (about 50 Mbps).
    Other Thoughts: Used to stream ISO rips of my legally purchased DVDs & Blu-Rays from my home server to my TVs. DVDs require about 1 MB/s to play without hiccups, which this does fine, but the blu-rays require 5-6 MB/s which this unit can do about 90% of the time. Maybe it's just my approximately 4-year old laptop wireless that can't handle the new speeds?

    Did you try changing any settings like the wireless channel manually? Also, if you haven’t already done so, you could try a firmware update. Lots of the initial kinks are usually ironed out with a firmware update.

  • My bb10 gets hot after continuous use

    hi,
    is there any fix, my z10 gets very hot while i am using any of its applications for over 10 minutes.

    I've seen a few other posts of this type.
    Batteries do generate heat in use, but excessive heat is abnormal.
    If you feel the heat is too much, O2 should be notified and have the issue escalated up to BlackBerry support.

  • 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.

    why do i get the following message when i attempt to open my backup file for lightroom cc?  "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened".  This message just started coming  up after downloading lightroom cc (previously using lightroom 5)...am i backing up properly or not???

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
    Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
    Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
    •Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hi All.  My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

    Hi All,
    I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
    My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
    I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
    It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
    I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
    Thanks Again,
    Scott P.

    Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
    Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
    Why would I buy yours?
    I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

    Just started getting "The Apple Id you entered couldn't be found or the password was incorrect".  Any ideas why?  iTunes is running, the Apple Id and password are being entered correctly.

    Hi skn728,
    If you can verify that your Apple ID and password are correct by logging in at AppleID.apple.com and are certain that all your apps were purchased under that ID, you may want to try manually logging out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, then logging back in.

  • My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong

    My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong. Whether I have 'set automatically' on or off, it still sets the clock and hour ahead of the real time. If I reset it correctly, within 10m it has incorrectly reset it. It is amazingly frustrating!

    Hello justveils,
    It sounds like you are not able to erase just one letter when backspacing.  I recommend following steps in the tutorial below to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPhone" because it's not related to this issue).  I think the step to reset your iPhone my be particularly useful in this scenario:
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full tutorial here:

  • Just started getting this today.

    I just started getting this today. "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

    I'm sure someone will give more detail, but it looks like the server blocked your address because it thinks it's a spam source.  If you're not spamming, then it might be someone on the same network spamming, or malware on your computer doing it.  Or it could just be a mistake.  try calling whoever runs your mail server and see if they can give you more information.
