HT4623 My iPad keep opening numerous programs by itself, how do we fix that problem?

My iPad keep opening numerous programs by itself, how do I fix this problem?

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

  • I have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?
    By the way, this is the iPod Shuffle forum.  Since you have an iPod Touch, you should have posted this in the iPod Touch forum.

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

    MY iPad 2 opens browsers on their own and starts typing out of no where, how can I fix this problem?

    Try a reboot,
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4642 I have an older Imac.  It is running OSX 10.6.8.  We have two new Ipads and wish to open and use a spread sheet developed on the Imac.  Currently I can open the Spread Sheet but cannot make any entries. How can I fix that problem?

    I wish to use Spread Sheets developed on my Imac (OSX 10.6.8 with Numbers 08) on my new Ipad Mini.  Currently they will open but I cannot make entries.
    Is there some software I need to download to my Ipad ?
    If I update my Imac Numbers 08 will it still work with existing spread sheets ?
    If I upgrade my OSX 10.6.8 will it impact my files originated under my old OSX and will all my programs work?
    Is there a work aropund that will allow me to use those Spread Sheets on my Ipad ?
    As informative as Apple is with their products, I see little that addresses compatability issues.  Art they non existant ?
    I hate to make any changes unless I know I am not going to be causig a lot of grief!
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    On looking at the secure.log on the iMac with OSX10.6.8, I see these entries at each attempt to scp into the iMac:

  • HT4623 my ipad mini does not turn on. How do I fix it? Or do I need to go to an Apple Store?

    My iPad mini does not work. It does not turn on. Help!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • TS2446 Why can't I buy any free apps,it keeps poping up account disabled,can or  how can I fix that problem?

    How can I un-disable an account?

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • TS3274 My first generation ipad keeps opening and closing my apps what should I do?

    My first generation ipad keeps opening and closing my apps what should I do?

    try updating to ios 5.1.1
    if the problem continues perform a back up and then restore
    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    or back it up to a computer
    after that preform a restore by going to
    general>reset>erase all content and settings
    this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
    You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

    Hi,
       This should only occur if this is a NEW computer or your first sync and you have information from another computer.
    Has this iPhone been synced with another computer before?
    Transferring Purchases; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you follow that link your Apps WILL be on your computer and any music you have brought......
    Now, do not worry, even if you do accidentally delete your apps, you can download them again for free with your itunes store account, just keep in mind you will lose any saved data!
    Follow this and hit continue, the only information that could get lost is any content (music, videos etc) synced from ANOTHER computer that WAS NOT brought from your account.
    Hope this helps and makes sense....

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
    iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
