TS1713 my power adapter gets very hot on my mac book pro is this normal

my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal

Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

Ipad2 charger getting very hot

Just treated myself to an ipad2 a couple of days ago but when it goes on charge with the supplied charger the charger gets very hot.
Is this normal or should I be getting hold of the reseller I bought it from and see about getting a replacement?
thanks for any advice

Chargers do get warm... but if you feel that yours is getting Too Hot then return it to Place of Purchase and ask them to check it for you.

Ipad mini charger getting very hot

ipad mini charger getting very hot. Not the ipad. What is it? A problem, or normal?

Warm is normal. Too hot to handle, literally, is not. So if you can hold it, then it's probably fine. Mine gets hot when it's charging. But if it's too hot for you to hold then you should stop using it and get it checked out an apple store.

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.

Just Purchased MBA; the Charger gets VERY hot

I just purchased the Macbook Air. When I plug it in, the Charger gets very hot after a few minutes and if I listen closely, there is a faint hissing. I assume this is not normal, correct?

I plugged my late 2010 MBA 13 in recently and then after about 20 minutes, needed to move it and the charger to another outlet. I had never paid any attention to how warm this charger can get. It was so hot, I could barely hold it. I checked it a few minutes later and it wasn't any hotter, but not any cooler either. It's will be a year this month since I bought this computer so the warranty is set to expire.
Good thing for AppleCare...

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.

My iPhone 4s has been getting extremely hot lately and draining my battery, is this something to worry about?!

Does anyone have the problem of their phone always hot?! Sometimes I even get the sign that says my iPhone is too hot. Is this something to worry about?! I was never like this until the recent ios7 upgrades.

It could also be that your battery has gone bad. If your phone is still under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store. It will take a tech a few minutes to test the battery, and they will replace if for you if it is bad. If not under warranty, search for a repair person in your area.

IPhone 5 getting very hot in car cradle

I have bought a BMW cradle to charge my iphone 5 which also boosts the signal. It is an authentic BMW/Apple part. The iphone gets very hot even on short journeys. Is this normal?

Hi Jooles,
Normally, when you charge an iPhone or any Apple device it gets hot when you are using it . However, I'm using a Car Cradle as well that I bought few years ago and it doesn't gets hot. I think it depends on which brand or model you are using.
Just a question, are you using a different cable? or an External Antenna?

My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket. Any ideas?

My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long. It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use. Any ideas?

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

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.

3GS getting very hot

IPhone getting very hot. Safety issue afraid to charge over night

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

It means take it back to where you bought it from. If you don't want to do that you'll have to be more specific like how long you've had the phone and how you are using the phone when it gets hot. That kind of information. The more we know about the phone the easier it is to diagnose and offer suggestions.
