My iPad is not charging and it gets very hot

My iPad isn't charging and it's get really hot.. What is wrong with it?

Hello there simisammy,
If the iPad is not recognized in iTunes then I recommend this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
This is a basic over view of the troubleshooting involved with it.
To begin troubleshooting this issue on your iOS device, first follow the steps in the appropriate troubleshooting assistant below:
iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant
iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant, continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each section.

1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
When that is finished I would recommend this article

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
    No power in the outlet.
    Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
    Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
    Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
    A fault in the charging software. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?

    What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

    my ipad is not charging and cannot on

    I am having the same issue with my iPad Air since upgrading to iOS 8.3. I need to close all open apps and power off the device with the plug attached, it then reboots and is receiving a charge. This did not happen prior to the update and it happens whatever charger/cord combination I connect.

    Is it a third party charger or the one that came with the purchase? Does your iPad give you any message on the screen? if not, you can get on with a live support agent via live chat: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

  • HT4060 When I charge my ipad on some occasions the plug gets very HOT.  the ipad still charges but slower.????

    When I charge my ipad using the small UPSpower adapter, the adapter gets very HOT on about every third use.  It still charges but more slowly.  Is any one having a similiar problem??  An sugstions as to how to correct it???

    Not staff or owner by a long shot.
    I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
    But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
    the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
    Bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad brick
    rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

  • My apple iP ad and charger plug keep getting very hot. I have tried resetting it but this doesn't help. Please can anyone help?

    please can you help? My apple I pad min version 7.1 (11D167) model MD531B/a. Capasity 13.4 GB keeps getting very hot and the charger plug. It seem to run down quickly too. It's been going on for a long time now. I have tried resetting it but this does nothing. Kind regards Rosemary.

    Hi Rosemary,
    These devices will get very warm (even uncomfortably so) when charging. From my own experience this is exacerbated if the device is in use at the time of charging or if the device is in a case that does not allow air to reach the device.
    You will see a warning on the iPad's display in the form of a yellow triangle and exclamation mark long before the device reaches a dangerous temperature.
    As long as the device is no warmer than a nice cup of coffee, you're in the clear.
    As you have mentioned that your battery is draining quickly, this could indicate that the processes running at the time are rather intensive on the iPad's resources and this would naturally raise the temperature of the iPad.
    If you have a look in Settings>General>Usage and look for the Standby and Usage times toward the bottom, are the two numbers significantly different? If you see that the Usage and Standby times are identical then you are experiencing a software issue where the device is not entering sleep as it should when not in use.
    Cheers

  • I have iPad model number MC706B/A and battery gets very hot quickly and also discharges from 100% to 0 in under an hour with onyl one app going.  Brightness res turned right down also to stop over use on battery.

    Hi All,
    I am getting increasingly frustrated at the battery grossly overheating ( as in cannot hold it on legs as gets too hot) also that I have to keep it on constant charge a other wise it discharges from 100% to zero in well under and hour.  Is this a battery or design fault of this particular model.  Its not even a year old but I also know whilst they brought it out in March 2012 they discontinued in October 2012...
    Can anyone assist as Apple lcearly want nothing to do with a now defunct model and I am thinking that perhaps with the backing of the Trading Standards Authority and the Office of Fair Trading, Apple might just want to sit up and listen as up until now they have not.  They simply suggest that I should trade up!!!

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My Macbook Pro keeps crashing and it gets very hot, what should I do?

    I have a late 2010 15inch Macbook Pro.
    Specs:
    2.53GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    500 GB HD
    My mac keeps freezing and crashing on me. It might be because it gets really hot, but I really cant say for sure. Its been running slow the past few months and im not sure what to do. I keep it very clean and I doubt there is dust accumilating inside of it. Even if there was, I dont know how to check. Will upgrading the RAM help; if so, where and how? Also I only have about 25GB left on my HD.

    Have you tried inserting a disc cleaner? Maybe you drive is dirty

  • My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on.  I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond.  Any Ideas?

    I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot.  It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site.  Any ideas what the problem is?  Is it fixable?

    Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next  try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or,  you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.
