TS3274 Why does my iPad get hot?
MY iPad gets ver hot , could it be a faulty battery?
I've just joined the community today because my iPad (latest model, a Christmas 2012 present) has started to get really hot. I first noticed it on a relatively hot (for the UK) day last week when I'd left it charging, with its cover removed, on my bed. The mattress is memory foam, which may have been a contributory factor. In order to allow air circulation, I normally prop it up vertically without its cover when charging.
It got hot again about an hour ago, when I was simply browsing, so I looked for advice here. I found a few lengthy discussions on the subject, which appears to be fairly common, and followed advice to cut the brightness down to 50% and set auto-brightness to 'off'.
It is currently in use minus its protective cover and has cooled down already. The cover's back panel has an apple-shaped cut-out, presumably for ventilation, but might it be better to use a cover that leaves the back exposed altogether? I still have my 'L' plates on!

My IPad gets hot. I don't mean warm, I mean really, really warm on the front and the back. You can feel the heat through the case I have it in. Last night the battery was about dead the the IPad was so hot I took it out of the case trying to cool it off. Is this normal?
No, and it may signal trouble. It's the battery that gets hot, if it overheats, it can kill itself and the device with it.
If you have had it for a couple of years, time for a check up and maybe a new battery. Cost about $100 -
Why does my iPad get hot when it's not in use?
I keep my iPad 4 in a carrying case. It is set to lock at 2 minutes and to turn off when the case is closed. It gets really hot when I put it in the nylon computer case that is made to carry the iPad.
Does any apps are running the background? If yes, check them and close them. Are you using it under any high levels of temperature?

Why does my phone get hot at time's?
It doesn't happen every day, put there are times my phone gets hot even when I'm not using it then the battery drains fast and I have to charge it again. It's not the battery area that gets hot.
There is no damage to my phone. This is the second Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have received. The first one did the same thing, then went dead. I only charge my phone at night when I go to bed and unplug it in the morning. When it does get hot, for some unknown reason, I have to charge it again during the day just to have cell phone access. It doesn't happen on a daily basis. It's just concerning as to why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is doing this. Teffanie M Stark

TS3274 Why does my iPad 1 just randomly close the app I am running
Why does my iPad randomly close either the app or the internet I'm working on?
Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

TS3274 Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner
Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner ?
Hi Edwardtracey,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like you have a cellular data plan and there is no service where you currently are.
The article below will explain this feature and how to turn the setting on/off.
The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
Use Personal Hotspot.
You can adjust this setting by going to:
iPad: Settings > Cellular
Additional Information
You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features from this setting:
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does my iPod touch battery get hot?
It is normal for the iPod to get warm while charging and during heavy use. If you have a concern, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Have iPad 2 and also iPad. Why does old iPad get stronger wifi signal?
Why does my new iPad 2 have a low wifi signal, while sitting next to first iPad that has strong wifi signals? All settings are the same.
Reclusive36 wrote:
I don't think its any stronger or weeker I jus think the iPad 2's WiFi meter seems to be more accurate.
That's unlikely since the iOS and hardware in this area should be identical.
If you are having reception problems take your iPad2 to an Apple store for some testing. -
Why does the battery get hot when I'm running a lot of apps?
The battery seems to get hot whenever I'm using more than like 4 apps. Is this normal? The iPod Touch is brand new as I just got it yesterday at the apple store. What seems to be causing this problem and the battery seems to be draining quick.
Depending on the Apps being used, some required much more output/work from your iPod's hardware, which in turn could bump up its overall temperature. If it seems a little above the norm, I would suggest taking it into your local Apple store to see what they say.

TS3274 Why does my iPad keep force closing?
It doesn't matter what app I'm using, or what site I enter, every time I open something, it automatically force closes within a minute or two! This is very frustrating I can't do anything on it because when it closes like that it doesn't save the project that I was involved in! I have to start all over.
I need hep! Does anybody have any advise for me?Hello TJcarnley,
It might be worth attempting a restart of the iPad, and then a reset, should restarting fail to resolve the issue.

If your apps still won't stop closing on you, I would recommend restoring the device.

When I use my iPad for an extended amount of time it heats up pretty good. Is this normal? Thank You!
Yes, completely normal. That many pixels can generate a lot of heat. Unless it's too hot to hold, you should be fine.

HT1420 why does my ipad get ejected when I click on the menu arrow in the ipad button of itunes?
I only run itunes to backup my ipad just before letting it install a new os version, but every time, i try to use the down arrow on the ipad button it ejects my ipad. isn't this weird?
Hi yABmeiqzz,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If you are talking about the smaller button with an underlined triangle inside of the larger iPad button in iTunes, that is normal behavior; that is the Eject icon used on Mac computers and in other Apple software. You may find this article helpful:

Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?
Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?
The iPad should not get hot after 30 minutes of use. The new iPad will get warmer that the other two iPads did, but it should never get hot.
If you are playing a HD graphic intense game or watching a HD movie it will get warmer than it does when you are just surfing the web or doing basic functions in word processing apps, or writing emails a but it should still never get hot.
Is your iPad brand new or has this been going on for a while?
