Help! My iPad 2 types and navigates from screen to screen on its own!

About a month and a half ago my ipad 2 started typing multiple letters and navigated and closing webpages on its own! Its really kind of creepy because it seems possessed! I'll be browsing the web minding my own business and then next thing I know the iPad 2 takes a mind of its own and starts closing my opened pages and clicking on different pages and vice versa, also sometimes when I'm typing, it'll start typing multiple letters when I just press a letter once, for example, I'll try and type "Supernatural is about to come on!" and It'll type "Suuupppeeernaaatuuural is aaaabbbboooouuuuut toooo cooomeee ooon!!!!" At first it did this like every blue moon and I would cut the screen off and cut it back on and that would stop it, but now that doesn't work anymore and its happening a lot more frequently! Does anybody know what causes this or better yet how to stop it?

When you say "cut the screen off and cut it back on" do you mean you press the sleep button so the screen turns black and then tap the home button to bring up the lock screen and unlock it? If so, you are just momentarily putting the iPad to sleep and nothing more so that's not going to solve anything. I don't know if this will help but do you ever turn the iPad off and turn it back on - reboot? Don't know that it will help but it can't hurt.
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to turn the iPad off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try it and see if it helps.

Would it be possible to configure wi-fi airtime per day/week for my children. They have an iPhone/ipad device and trend to watch the screen every free moment of their time.....

Good morning.

Hello rogier111
Maybe this helps:
Open AirPort Utility, select your AirPort Base Station and click Manual Setup.
Select Access Control Tab.
Pick Timed Access from the list.
Now click on the "+" button, enter the MAC adress of the device you want and decide for the network time limits.
Update your Airport.
You can find the MAC adress of an iOS device by going to Settings/General/About.

I have a new IPad Air and when I turn the screen nothing rotates anymore like it should

I have a new IPad Air and when you turn the screen it doesn't rotate anymore

First thing to check is to see if there is a circular arrow around a small lock at the top right of your screen next to the battery indicator. If there is Rotation Lock is turned on. You can turn it off in the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and find that icon in the panel that comes up. Tap on that icon to turn off Rotation Lock.
If Rotation Lock is not on try a reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

Upon applying for Telstra contract, salesman filled out all details & I was approved immed. He grabbed a new iPad 2 from the store's stock, all plastic wrapped, a white 32 gb. He then asked me if I needed to go and do some shopping as he had mucked something up and had to redo application. Everything had been completed and approved on screen, so I wasn't sure why he had asked me to come back in half an hour. I did so, and upon arriving back he was standing at the desk, iPad in hand together with receipt and box, no evidence of shrink wrap. As I already had bought a red cover, he basically grabbed that and slipped the iPad straight into it, without really asking me, and said, all ready to go. Was a bit surprised but accepted that. Did not see it being unwrapped, sim inserted or anything. Thought it to be odd, and without any further advice, was handed bag, box and receipt. Got home, thought it looked a bit fingerprinty, then wondered why it was basically set up ready to go. He knew I was a gadget freak, owning 25 wifi related devices, but had never bought apple products so he said I'd have no problems. There was virtually no set up to go through except for asking if I had an apple ID which I didn't so I created that and away I went. I was looking through the settings a bit later and noticed the ITunes said to sync back with WILLS-MSI when it was available. WILLS is the name of the store. There was a 32 gb white iPad 2 as a display model and now I am seriously wondering if he has taken that off the shelf and given to me. I have never in my life bought a display model and never would. From my description do you think I may be right? ( even the silver back looked 'not quite new').
OPINIONS appreciated, is there anyway of checking to see if a reset has been done as I am not at all happy & will be going straight to store manager on opening of store.

No. If you bought AppleCare+ for it, accidental damage is covered.

I downloaded iDraw - which is an Adobe Illustrator wannabe for the iPad. You can export to PDF and other formats using iDraw. iDraw also supports file sharing. File Sharing is the iPad/iTunes way to send files back and forth from the iPad to your computer and back again.
This site will tell you about iDraw.

This is a link to iOS File Sharing which you will find useful as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
There are third party apps in the app store that will allow you to use virtually any printer even if you don't have one of the HP AirPrint compatible printers.
You can even use an app like Pages to create your templates. You can insert art and photos into Pages and it supports file sharing as well. Pages is a Word Processing app and I would be inclined to not use it for your purposes but it will work for some basic designs however it's certainly not ideal for creating artwork.

ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming? I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?
Also, it's been a little quirky lately: slow to respond to key pad touching and making it impossible to delete Apps?
Should I try wiping it and restoring it to factory settings?
Thank you.

It isn't a virus.
I would try the Restore from backup first and if that does not help try a Restore as a new iPhone.

How to read tables and fields from a transaction screen.

hi all,
i am having problem in reading fields and tables from a screen, could any one help me in mapping tables from a structure as well.
it will be very help full if u had any documentation.
Thanking u
kiran

Hi,
In classical debug mode from CALL STACK tab try to find out the structures holding the screen values .
Capture the values from transaction using FIELD SYMBOLS .
See the below code.
DATA : l_prog_val(50) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPLCTMS)WI[]'.
**To get the (SAPLCTMS)WI value in this program from call stack.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wi> TYPE ANY.
*Assign the structure (SAPLCTMS)WI to field symbol
ASSIGN (l_prog_val) TO <wi>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
*Assign the structure (SAPLCTMS)WI to internal table
ELSE.
it_wi[] = <wi>.
ENDIF.
Sastry.
