The thunderbolt lead gets hot to the touch is this normal

Hi
I have noticed that the area on top of my macbook airs thunderbolt display port when connected get quiet warm and when I disconnect it it's warm to the point of being hot, is this normal?
I only use the display for normal computer use mostly having the screen split half for web browsing and half for mail.
thanks

Oh. Well then I don't know if that is normal or not. Maybe you would have better luck from other MBA users in the apple MBA forum. Hopefully some of them had TB displays too.

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

No, it had been sitting not in use and charging for maybe an hour. I turned it off till it cooled down.

If i reset my ipod will it stop getting hot on the back?

just recently my ipod touch 4g started to get hot on the back, why is that? what can i do to fix it?

Hardware problem. Call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

After my phone was fully submerged in water, I'm getting the overheating error message but the phone is not hot at all. Is this the result of the phone being damaged by the water?

I dropped my iPhone 4S in my friends pool. It was fully submerged for about 30 seconds.
We took it out, dried it and put it in rice. After 24 hours I checked the phone. It turns on and runs smoothly. It connects to the computer and syncs perfectly. But after a couple minutes of use I get an overheating error message. But the phone is not hot at all.
Is this the result of the phone being damaged by the water? Is there any way around this? The phone works perfectly fine and isn't overheating at all.
What can I do?

Despite the error that I get after a few minutes, the phone does work fine.
But by most peoples definition, the phone isn't working.
I just want to know if anyone has been in my boat and if the overheat message without the phone overheating can correct itself or if it goes away with sufficient drying of the phone.
I know its slim, but I figured I'd ask.

HT2101 How do I prevent my new iphone 4 from getting hot in the first place?

I got a new iPhone 4 for Christmas. It is constantly overheating and getting insanely hot when charging. My battery life is suffering, it takes hours to charge and loses battery life very quickly. How can I prevent my device from getting hot in the first place? I use it in a room temperature environment and only have about 2 apps running at one time.

Idealy you should move your itunes content from your old computer to your new one
Here are your options
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Then just sync your iPhone with the new computer. It will ask to erase but as everything in in your new itunes this is OK. Then choose what to sync back onto your iphone
If you no longer have the old computer here is how to restore your library from the iPhone
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Then you can sync your machine with the new computer.
If you do not care about this and just want to extract the items mentioned
I found this and it will extract your Contacts and messages.

Is normal for the ipad get hot on the back while in use?, Is normal for the ipad get hot on the back wile in use?

I have an ipad, when is being used it gets hot on the back, is that normal?

Warm is normal. The processor and battery generate heat. 'Too hot to handle', quite literally, is a good rule of thumb for when to stop using it and make an appointment to get your device checked out.

I have a macbook with retina display and when i use it, it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

When i use my macbook it gets hot on the bottom is this normal?

If you're talking about the "new" MacBook with retina display, it's normal (Especially when you're playing games or watching a movie) and like Stark_Hu said, it will start displaying the temperature warnings, slow the processor, and try to regain normal temperatures. I actually had that happen to me while I was playing the Sims 4 while having 3 Pages documents and 5 or so Safari pages open.
Now if you're talking about the Retina MacBook Pro, I would clean out the fan ports and everything because that doesn't seem too normal!

HT5219 Do you need a Thunderbolt 2 Cable to get the speed out of a Thunderbolt 2 Port? Or is there just one kind of Thunderbolt cable, and its the Thunderbolt 2 port which determines the speed?

Do you need or is there a specific Thunderbolt 2 Cable to get the speed out of a Thunderbolt 2 Port? Or is there just one kind of Thunderbolt cable, and its the Thunderbolt 2 port which determines the speed?

My ipod nano was working fine until i uploaded some new tunes today. It sync properly and once disconnected it just switched off and would not even turn on. I have put it on charge for a few hours but nothing happens, infact the charger is getting hot.

The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

Does the macbook air get hot from use?

I am considering purchasing a Macbook Air. I have had problems with notebook PC's in the past getting very hot.
Does the Macbook Air get hot from use?

Yes, well, virtually every computer has a fan in it; many fail their mission.
Now that you mention it, I saw no grill or mesh anywhere when I looked at the MBA at the Apple Store. Is it where the lid meets the body? I didn't see speakers, either, although I heard music.

I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.
but if you contact applecare that way you have a record of the issue incase it gets worse in the future.
