My ipad charger gets hot   Why

hArger gets. Hot. Why. And is it safe

Martym1955-
How hot?  I would expect it to get quite warm after charging an iPad 3rd Gen for some time, but not so hot as to burn you.  My 2nd Gen iPad's charger gets warm, but I would not call it hot.
I do not know of any published temperature of the charger.  It would be interesting if you could use an infrared thermometer to get a surface reading.

  • IPad charger gets very hot

    When I charge my iPad using the cord that came with it, there's not much heat in the charger part, but if I use an extension cord with it, the charger gets almost too hot to handle.  I went into the Apple store to buy a longer cord so I could charge it while still using it, but they told me just to go ahead and use an extension cord.
    Why does the charger get hot with an extension cord,but not when it's directly inserted into the wall socket?  And is this going tone a problem? 

    I use an extension cord with my power adapter to charge my new iPad and I do the same thing with my original iPad. The power block gets warm, but not "hot" when I use an extension cord. The power block gets warm if I plug it directly into a wall socket as well. Again - it gets warm but not "hot".
    My first suggestion would be to try another extension cord. Maybe the one that you are using is faulty.

  • What can I do my ipad is getting hot and charging slow

    My Ipad is getting hot and charging is very slow. I plugged it in this morning and after 7 hours is only at 78%.  It was also losing its charge fast in the last week.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When i am calling through IMO messenger my i phone 6 is getting hot why?

    when i am calling through IMO messenger my i phone 6 is getting hot why?

    From IMO Messenger's iTunes page > https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imo-free-video-calls-and-chat/id336435697?mt=8
    the link to the Developer Support page > https://imo.im/feedback - takes one to just that, a "Feedback" form - not supportive at all, methinks. Even the "Blog" is just IMO images - latest post is 4 months ago. I don't have a good feeling about your chances contacting them for support on their App.
    I am not an engineer, but are you convinced that the iPhone only gets 'hot' during the IMO Messenger sessions.
    Could it be that the iPhone gets hot when used for anything long enough?
    Could it be coincidence - having just updated to iOS 8.2 just prior to your 'hot' experience?

    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.

  • Ipad air charger gets hot

    Yes.

  • IPad plug gets hot while charging

    I have the 5 watt charger I have noticed it gets hot while charging is this normal I just upgraded to ios7 please let me know if this is normal?

    Definitely not typical, bot probably normal. iOs7 uses more power than former versions, thanks to the continual use of Bluetooth, Backtround App Refresh, and Airdrop. Disable these functions, and post with your results.

  • 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.

  • IPad 4 getting hot playi g apps

    I have a ipad 4 and it gets really hot when I play apps like mass effect (I can see why because of the graphics) but like clash of clans and all that it just over heats and was wondering is it support to overheat please help

    Well, I would have to guess this is normal on the hi-res displays, although I am not sure.  I only have a iPad 2, and I only suffer from battery drainage when playing RealRacing 3.  I have never played clash of clans, but it does not seem like one of those games that would do that.
    How hot is it getting?  Is it really that bad?  iPads are not suposed to get hot, so I really do not know what is going on.  You could posibly go to a Apple store and get it replaced if it is really that bad (like getting a overheating error message).
    If you could send a post back it could be a little easier for someone else, because I honestly do not know much about overheating and iPads.

    thanks

    Maybe, next itme, read reviews on the new ipad before buying it.
    Most of the people who buy a new iPad, knows about the heat issue and they are ready to take it.
    I knew about the issue, that's why I bought an iPad 2 and I am so happy with it, no heat issues.
    Don't worry too much, it is not going to melt the plastic, it has been tested, otherwise you would not have seen this in the shops.
    Relax and enjoy that fantastic piece of technology!.
    I have an Android phone and an iPad 2 and I love the competition!
    Better experience with Apple, that's for sure. But better apps and new technology with Android.
    cheers
