Why does the adapter/recharger plug get so hot?

When we recharge the iPad2, the adapter plug gets very hot, even if the iPad is turned off. I always plug it into a surge protector, but it concerns me...
is this normal?

Yes, it is perfectly normal for power adapters (including the iPad included 10W adapter) to get considerably warm
(to the point where you would not want to hold your hand on it for an extended period of time). I've had my fair share of power adapters over the years, and it seems the lower-end PC ones tend to get extremely hot (where you would not want to hold them in your hand for an extended period of time), but never to the point where it would be unbearable to hold in my hand.
If, indeed, it is too hot to hold or touch, then please make sure it has proper ventilation. Make sure it is not covered by a blanket or sheet, make sure it is not in a cramped corner, etc. If the overheating issue continues, assuming your device is under warranty, take the power adapter to Apple.
As far as this being a concern about like burning down your house, it will certainly not get to that point. More than likely, the worst that could happen is the power adapter overheats and dies, but please again check to make sure the power adapter is plugged in right, and has proper ventilation . . . two very important things.

Why does my i phone 4s get so hot?

My i phone 4s will just get hot when in not even using it! how can i get it to be not so hot?

Do you have an Android device in the house? iPhones tend to shy away and get hot in the presence of superior devices.

Why does my Mac Book Pro get so hot?

My Mac Book Pro gets hot whenever i use it for awhile and i am wondering what could be causing the "over heating"
I just bought my Mac about a month ago, it is the 13 inch with the intel core i7 processor.

Hot is a relative term. Go on the Internet and download iStat pro, a widget that monitors the internal temperatures and fan speeds of your MBP. When you get accurate numerical data then you will be able to determine if there actually is a problem.
Yes the MBPs do get warm which is good because that is dissipating the internal heat being generated by the internal components. The heat to a large degree is a function of the applications you are using, such as video games will require more CPU resources than emails, thus generating additional heat.
Bear in mind that the MBP has internal heat sensors that will shut the unit down if it starts to over heat thus preventing the MBP committing Hari Kari.

Why does my iPhoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of times to the point where I have to force quit it and how do I fix it?

Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

Hi,
Thanks for reading this.
Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
However...
No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Tommy!
If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)

Why does my ipod 4g constanlty get stuck on apple logo

Why does my ipod 4g constantly get stuck on apple logo

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1338 why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

Why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

Airport is the trade name Apple uses for WiFi. The Mac built-in WiFi hardware is called Airport. The Apple manufactured WiFi base station(s) router are called Airport Extreme and Airport Express (the Apple Time Capsule is also a WiFi base station/router).
A Mac can connet to other manufactures WiFi base stations.
You can also connect to a WiFi bridging device via ethernet and get WiFi access that way, although BDAqua's suggestion of a USB WiFi device might make more sense if it is a Mac laptop.
If you are NOT talking about WiFi, and perhaps talking about using the cell phone cellular network, then you can use Bluetooth to pair your Mac with a cell phone that has the ability to act as a cellular modem for your Mac, you can get a MiFi device that acts as a local WiFi base stations and connects to the Cellular network, and you can get cellular USB devices that can provide cellular connections for the Mac.

Why does my Infinity date keep getting put back

Hi I am wondering if somebody can tell me why my Infinity due date kees getting put back. I was originally told it would be in my area last year, then by Sept 2013, then the end of the year, then Feb/Mar 2014 then The end of Mar then low and behold today it is beween Mar to June 2014.
I can understand some delays but the variation of these dates is ridiculous I feel BT are picking dates out of the air to stop customers moving elswhere. I am relly fed up waiting and being strung along with ficticious dates and promises.
I have seen engineers working in the Bt boxes in my area for many months.
As for signing up for information on Infinity from BT that is a Joke I signed up for that 2 years ag and have so far had not one single bit of information of any kind from them. I would have expected some feedback on how well the roll out is going etc to encourage potential customers of the benefits etc. very very poor customer service on this front I feel

This is a BT Retail residential customer to customer forum. The problem of dates changing is an Openreach responsibility and not BT Retail.
There are various reasons for this to happen such as planning permission for cabinets, power supplies and commercial reasons.
Up until recently you could email Openreach and ask when your cabinet was likely to be upgraded however Openreach are no longer giving out that information, instead they are replying:-
Thank you for your contact to us. Please note that we will not be responding to you by email but, would like to point you to the Openreach Superfast Fibre website and the FAQ section that will provide answers to the most commonly asked questions. It will also provide links to those service providers that sell fibre broadband at the moment so you can check if your particular line is enabled.
http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/
So in short, you just need to keep checking to see if your cabinet has been up graded.
If you use this checker it will tell what cabinet you are on and what services it can receive

Hi, Mike
Thanks for ur reply,
The original file is ai format , there is no embedded item in the palette, and I've drag it from a server to my desktop when I edited that file so I was saving it on my desktop.
I have checked the original file (which is on a server ) again. It's ai format and doesn't seem to be changed the format from .pdf into .ai.( as there is no reason to do it….)
I was wondering that if it better to deselect save with .pdf compatible with every .ai file / and if with a possibility that it could damaged the .pdf half, why does adobe make this option into default? What does .pdf compatible help?
Sorry about having lots of questions……

Why does the power button intermittently fault -- Not work to wake up the phone?

Iphone 4 occassionally won't respond to the power/sleep button. Isn't stuck -- works normally much of the time, but occassionally acts as though the battery is dead. Have to plug into a power source to activate phone. Battery will show same charge it had before it went into sleep mode. Can be near fully charged and proceed working for the rest of the day just fine.
Button does not stick or seem faulty in any way. But, when you least need it to not work - such as in travel - or for emergences and have not power source to get to -- is bad. An unreliable phone for a doctor is not good. I have presented the problem to a few repair shops who are either not familiar with this behavior or suggest that is may be software rather than hardware. Something miss reading the battery to the phone indicating that the battery is dead when in fact it is not. Had the phone restored at the Apple store and this did not solve the problem.
It seems I did run across a blog that this occurred with some IOS update?
Would be grateful for advice.
Thanks

Hi

Plug phone cable in (powered), press and hold button until voice control is activated, release, unplug.

I have not tryed it my self but it may work..
There are a simular trick to get the home button to work, here it is.
Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather
Press and hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” dialog appears, then release
Now press and hold the Home button until the “Slide to Power Off” screen disappears, quitting the application.
