My iPad gets very hot even with short term use. Is this normal?

I assume that you mean your new iPad - the 3rd generation model. No - that is not normal. Some users have reported this issue and it may be that you have a faulty device.
It may get a little warmer than the previous models of iPads but it should not get "very hot" under any circumstances. Return it - take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look - contact Apple however you need to do so - and let them know about it - but that is NOT normal.

  • 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.

    some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

  • HT1766 iPhone 5 gets very hot in a short time.

    The iPhone 5 heats up so much I can hardly hold it even after only being on a short time. I thought it might be a Bluetooth issue so turned Bluetooth off but the problem persisted.

    Just talking on the phone and surfing the web. Seems to make no difference how it is being used when it heats up. Also seems to make no difference if Bluetooth is on or off.
    Not using a case.
    BTW, the phone is a 5S, not a 5 as I previously wrote. Typo error.

  • 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?

  • I have a new iPad with retina display it seems to get very hot is this right

    Should the iPad get very hot ?

    I would recomend turning down your brightness of your screen.  It should be put to to 50-60% and now the iPadwill not get warm. Still you can feel the heat but at least it does not get as warm as using 100% brightness.

  • 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.

  • Itouch 4g in facetime got really hot at the top and then the screen changed to a very light blue.  I restored it and checked for updates, but the screen is still messed up and the itouch gets very hot.  This came on very fast.

    Can't get the screen back to normal mode after restoring it, and it still gets very hot at the top when using it in any mode.  Any suggestions?

  • My iPad 3 with wifi gets very hot-is this usual?

    My new iPad becomes very hot while I'm using it. It's become very difficult to read a book. Does anyone else have this problem?

    an iPad will get warm, as the battery is being used, but it should not be so that you can not hold it.
    I use a case granted, but I can use my iPad happily even when it gets a bit warm.
    Have you had your iPad long?
    It is worth a trip to see an Apple Genius if an Apple store is near you. You can make an appointment via the Apple website.

  • My Thinkpad edge e330 gets very hot with xubuntu 12.10

    Hi,
    I own a Thinkpad edge e330. IT is perfect for my use. And I love it alot. but it has some problem. it gets very hot with xubuntu 12.10.
    the temperatur goes up to 70 after using it in 30 min. even when it is not hot in the room. I think it is very strange and 70 is very high for a Intel computer.
    Can anybody here tell me how to make the temperatur come down? thanks!

    For sure that isn't normal temperature. I have E330, i3-3110M, Ubuntu 12.10/13.04: temps stay around 40-45 celcius in idle/low load.
    - what about the temperatures on Windows? If they're high too, I'd really suggest some vent dusting too...
    - what BIOS settings do you mean?
    Check that the CPU frequency scaling is working (wouldn't expect the problem to be about this though, but you never know...):
    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i "cpu mhz"
    TLP power management might also fix this issue, but regardless of the issue I recommend to install it (easy to install via PPA): http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html
    I'd also try updating to Xubuntu 13.04... there is always something new and this could be a bug.

  • 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.

    Is it getting hot only when charging?
    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My MacBook Pro with Retina display is getting very hot, is this normal?

    I recently downloaded Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Minecraft on my Mac, and after about a minute of playing one of these games, my Mac would get very hot right above the keyboard. The fans get very loud and it seems a bit unusual, Is this damaging my Macbook pro?

    Use it and keep it on when it gets very hot take it to your local Apple Store you might be successful and receive a new one, because the unit has to have some type of defect. Take your receipt if you still have it.
