I have Ipad 2. When I touch an icon, a box forms around it and then I have to tap it twice to open. The box is messing up the touch screen and when I go into some apps they open, update then shut down.

I have an Ipad2. All of a sudden when I touch an app or select anything, a box forms around the icon or word and then I have to tap it twice to open it. So everything I do I have to touch 3 times. Also now when I open some of the apps, they open, update then close down. How do I get rid of the box.

You might have turned VoiceOver 'on'. See if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and if it does then cahnge what Settings > General > Axxessibility > Triple-Click Hme is set to.
Otherwise your need to use the 'touch to select, double-tap to activate' process to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

Why My iPad when some app want to update.. Didn't show

Why My iPad when some app want to update.. Didn't show.

1 True, they are not selected.
2. I am not autosyncing.
3. Auto load to iPad is a setting on the iPad under store. I should not have addeded that.
4. Once I select any tag, other than Apps which is selected, I get the message. If I check books, it removes the movies I have on the iPad. If I check movies, it removes the books I have on the iPad.
5. I do have auto syncing turned off.
Basically, it iTunes Sync is requiring me to remove either the movies or books already on the iPad in order to check the box.
Another thing I noticed is that when I look in the Books section of the iTunes Library, there are over 50 books and PDF files. When I go into the iPad to do the sync, only a small portion of these books show up as selectable when I choose sync only selected books.
This is a new iPad, and on my old iPad 2 I had no problem adding any of the books to it via sync. Not sure what is going on but I guess I will call Apple Support

Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

When I touch an icon, a square appears around the icon - can't slide the screen

I have the newest iPad and the screen is locked on the home screen. When I try to slide the screen to the left to show other pages on my iPad it doesn't work. Infact, when I touch an icon, a square appears around the icon, I have to double tap the icon in order for it to open. When I go to settings thinking that something on the settings got messed around with, I can't move the screen up using my fingers, I can't move it up at all in fact.
Should I try to remove the sim card to see if it will reset itself? i have tried to turn it on and off. If I remove the sim card, will I lose everything on my iPad?
Someone please help,
Thanks,
Rob

That's a new one......Removing your sim card would not likely have any effect on this and no, even if you removed your sim card, you would not lose data from iPad.
The first thing I'd try is to reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart (you won't lose any data or settings). See if your iPad operates normally after it comes back up.

HT4623 Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues

Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues to happen. It just started out of the blue

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. 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 or anywhere above the task bar.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.

Hello,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with your system. It sounds like you might have multiple issues going on, but to dig deeper we're going to need more specifics. Here's a good post that describes what we'll need and how to generate crash logs:
How to report a crash with Flash Player
In addition, you might want to consider either reverting back to a previous version of Flash Player, see this page for archived versions, or installing our latest Flash Player 11 RC release.
I'm not sure what is going on with your pdf files, but I don't believe it's Flash Player related. Can you take a screenshot of the blank window that is appearing? That might give us some clues on what's going on.
Thanks,
Chris

Upgraded to IO6, seems like the amount of system memory to run is higher, this causes issues with some Apps. I can't get SIRI to work because the amount of free system memory is not enough. how can I tell what is eating the system memory?

Some times my mac not getting shut down, some times my mac not getting shut down

some times my mac not getting shut down, some times my mac not getting shut down
it will show white scree for long time and will not shut down

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
Step 2
Do the same with kernel.log.
Step 3
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

Hi Apple_Bayern,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some information on what to do if your iPad will not get past the Apple logo at startup:

I have Ipad 2. When I touch an icon, a box forms around it and then I have to tap it twice to open. The box is messing up the touch screen and when I go into some apps they open, update then shut down.
