I am having issues with my iPad mini. My issue is sometimes my apps will open up without me touching them

Hello everyone. I really need some help with my iPad mini. Lately it has been acting like it has a mind of its own, I could be reading a book in iBooks and the pages will start flipping on its own.  At times it will not allow me to post messages, as well as some of my apps, mainly my puzzle app will open up without me touching it. I really don't not know what is wrong with it. Can someone please help me

Reset the iPad and see if that helps. Close all apps first.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, you should probably restore the iOS software. Instructions are in this kb article.

If that fails, you are pretty much out of options and you should take your iPad to an Apple Store. They might be able to use their magic to restore the device for you, or if it is a hardware problem they will explain your options to you at that point.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures.  The  screen enlarges and  will not respond to my attempts to restore it.

    I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures.  The  screen enlarges and  will not respond to my attempts to restore it.   Is anyone else having this problem?  What is causing it and what  helps to restore normalcy?

    Try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers and see if that zooms it back out - and if it does set Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'. If it doesn't zoom you back then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

  • Having issues with new iPad mini retina 128 dropping wifi

    New ipad mini have issues with dropping signal while I am in the middle of connection.  I can be reading a book or email and it will just drop the connection.  When I try to hook back up it says it cannot join.  My iphone 5c is right next to me and is connecting fine.  It is frustrating when  I am in the middle of taking notes in an area and it drops the signal and I lose everything.  I can be 5 feet away and it will not hook up.  Also, I have reset the network settings and started all over.  It helped for a day or so and it started all over again.  Also, I have reset and turned off and on my router to assure the signal connections.  I am now in the process of taking it back for a replacement.  Apple says it is a hardware issue. 

    I'm experiencing the same problem.
    But my old iPad mini is connecting fine.
    I think it is a firmware or software problem?
    I hope Apple will fix this issue on an update sooner!

  • HT203433 Having an issue with my IPad and IPhone trying to update  my Apps from the Apps store?

    I am having a problem with my IPad and Iphone trying to do My Apps updates via the App Store. I see the # of 4 updates in red showing, but when i try to do the updates by hitting the "update button" I get an error message saying I can not connect to the iTunes store although I am signed in already?
    Anyone had the same problem?
    thx,

    I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
    Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : 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 them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Reset as before i.e. 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.

  • HT1665 has anyone else having trouble with their iPad mini and iPhone usb cords? we have 3 mini's in the house and 1 iPhone we don't let the kids plug the iPads in and my wife takes great care charging her iPhone. and still all the usb cords break at the

    ok this is getting a little ridiculous we have 3 ipad mini's and 1 iphone in our household and everyone of the usb cords breaks at the plug that goes into the devices. The latest is my wifes iphone cord and the phone is only 3 weeks old. what gives apple? Never had a problem with the older style cords. Bad thing is they charge a small fortune fo these cords.

    I have three non-working cords as well.  The cable is so flimsy at the connector.  If enough people complain then maybe Apple will try creating a better product!  They should issue some credit or send customers a new cord.

    Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad).   Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it.  Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

    Actually I have 2 problems:  I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad).  I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
    Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it.  I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore.  My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems.  I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions?  Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6?  (currently 7.0.3).
    Thanks,

    Hi..I've had a variant of this problem; my internet was accessible but my devices on wifi could not see the PC on Lan. That meant no iTunes syncing, Airplay from iTunes etc.
    Dlink has a strange default setting that isolates Wifi & Wired connections into different subnets.I'm assuming you have DHCP setup on your router and you're PC or MAC has internet access via the same router. Try the following steps to see if this solves the problem for you-
    1. Go to Setup -> Local Network  and Uncheck the box that says 'Configure the second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN' - Hit Apply
    2. Go to Wireless -> Wireless Basic and Uncheck 'Enable MultiAP Isolation' - Hit Apply
    3. Restart your Router
    Let me know if this solves your problem. I've been frustrated by my problem for months & had nearly given up.

  • Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source?  Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

  • Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

    Hi all,
    I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
    None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
    iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
    There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
    If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
    Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
    Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
    Many thanks. Mark

    I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
    It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
    For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
    This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.
