Why is my ipod touch 4g get hot while using it?

Hello,
I bought my ipod touch 4g about a year and half ago and in the last month my ipod is getting hot in the top near the camera.
Why is it get so hot?
what can I do with this?
Thank you !

iPods, and any electrical equipment, produce heat when used, it's simply something that happens.
If it is getting too hot to hold or seems to start burning, take it to an apple store near you and have it looked in the Genius bar, nearly all appel stores have one. If your's doesn't, just ask a member of staff.
Maybe try backing up then restoring your iPod, see if that helps. if it does help, restore it from the backup you made before restoring.
Hope this helped!
Good luck!

  • Ipod touch 4 gets hot while using some apps like angry birds?

    Is it normal for the upper back of the ipod touch 4 to get hot while using some apps like angry birds? Is this a potential battery problem? It doesnt get hot while charging or playing songs... Just when using some game apps.  I assume that it has something to do with battery drain, should I be concerned?

    When the iPod is used heavily like for games it is norma for the iPod to get warm.  Unless you hav short battery life I would not be concerned.

    CAN SOMEONE HELP UNSTAND WHY MY IPOD TOUCH KEEP GETTING HOT WHEN IT'S ON OR CHARGING?

    - As I said in my response to yur other post, the iPod can get quit warm during use. It can also get warm during charging.
    - You can try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you are concered make an appointmenbt at the Genius Bar of and Apple store

  • Iphone getting hot while using 3G

    My iPhone4 is perfectly normal while using wi-fi internet connection, but it gets extremely hot while using the 3G internet services. Can anyone help me out?

    It is normal for the phone to get hot when your using data such as YouTube videos, streaming music etc.. And as for the left speaker not working, the left speaker is a microphone, the right one is for sound. Don't worry, everything your iPhone is doing is normal.

  • Ipod Touch Camera getting hot

    I got my Ipod touch last Christmas and just recently I noticed that when I'm using it the screen gets a little warm (nothing unusual) but the top part where the camera is gets really hot. So hot that you can't keep your finger on there for very long before it starts to hurt. I was just wondering if I should do anything about it.
    Thanks,
    Ethan

    If you are concerned, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  It is very hard to quantify how warm is too hot over the internet.

  • My ipod touch gets hot while using, is that normal?

    It really gets hot very fast

    An iPod can get quite warm with heavy use like gaming.  Since how warm is too hot is subjective, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod Touch 4G music lags while using Apps

    When I play music and use the app called "Tiny Tower" then the music lags very heavy while using the app and it's not possible to enjoy it anymore. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing such issues (maybe with other apps) too?

  • Battery drainage n iPhone getting hot while using video

    Hi mukk25, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be concerning when the temperature of the iPhone is warmer than you would expect. Please review the attached article for information on operating temperatures. 
    Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures
    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Should my IPAD  get hot while using it.

    I have had my IPAD 3rd Generation for several months now, and all of a sudden is started getting hot.  I have look after it very well, and now I am concerned that it there maybe something wrong with.  I am on a TABLET plan with Telstra.  Can anyone assist me with this, will I need to get it serviced.
    I turned it off, so it will cool down, recharged it, and it was cool, when I turned it on, after a couple of hours it was hot again.
    Can anyone advise me on this please.

    While hot is sort of relative to different people - under no circumstances should the iPad get too hot to handle. If this is what you are experiencing, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My ipod touch is getting hot like starting 2 days ago and i had it for 2 months so then i got a new one from apple from my warranty but the new one is still getting hot and by the way i have a skull candy case

    i really need help please im really worried i cant sleep nor play plz give me awnsers soon

    - A case makes it harder for the iPOd to disipate the heat that occurs during operation of the iPod.  During heavy use like gaming, the iPod can get quite warm.
    - I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since hot warm is hot is subjective. Make sure you bring the case.

  • Why my ipod touch 4 becomes hot when i play games?

    hey why is my ipod touch 4 becomes hot when i play games?

    Obviously certain use of the iPod will result in different CPU intensities and cycles. Depending on the threshold, the exhalation of heat may vary from app to app. What I would reccommend is finding a friend who also owns the same device and comparing use of the same game which demonstrates the giving out of heat?
    Is their device just as hot?
    Is there any juddering in the video or general FPS of the app?
    If any of those questions are answered with yes then I would perhap find it advisable to book a slot with an Apple Genius and show this issue to them as they will know whether to replace the device or not.
    Regards

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S
