I'm having problems with my touch screen in Safari

Shortly after downloading iOS 8.0, I started having trouble with my touchscreen when in Safari. Note: I am not necessarily attributing the problem to iOS 8.0--just stating when it began to occur.
Touch commands began to not work with certain buttons on certain websites. Often, the websites seemed to freeze up. I could sometimes get the touch commands to work again if I refreshed the page.
My most frustrating encounter happened this evening, when I tried to make a purchase from a retail website I use frequently. I could use the touchscreen to accomplish all the steps in the shopping process but one: I could not get the "cart" button to work, so I could not get to the checkout screen. I refreshed and rebooted. I even downloaded iOS 8.1 and tried it again. Nothing worked. Finally, I used my wife's iPad Mini to place the order. My wife has not downloaded the new iOS 8 (neither 8.0 nor 8.1). Again, I am not necessarily implying it worked on her iPad Mini because she had not downloaded the new operating system--just stating that she had not done so.
Any idea what might be causing this? It does not appear to be a hardware problem, as my touchscreen seems to work fine in other applications.

DId you try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset the iPad?
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

    Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode
    See here

    Then restore

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • Serious Problems with Iphone Touch Screen

    Hi,
    I am facing following issues with my Iphone. Could you please help/guide me how to get them resolved
    1) I think some portion of the Touch Screen has stopped working. For e.g. when i type the message in normal mode then SEND button is disabled even if i try 10 times i am not able to send the message.
    Therefore, as a work around i need to tilt my iphone to widescreen mode and then tap on send...it works....but it is very irritating
    2) Many a times Iphone on its own dials the numbers in the contact list/recent dialled/missed call
    3) If i leave SMS screen open for some time, then it automatically starts typing characters randomly
    4) The same behavior is also there in Ipod i.e. it own its own changes the song
    These are the main problems which i am facing ,,,anyone else facing similar issues?
    I have already tried following things
    1) Restarted the iphone n number of times but to no success
    2) I have also tried reset option
    Please help me how can i get these issues resolved pls.

    Have you tried a restore in iTunes?

  • Problem with G500s Touch Screen

    I'm experiencing a problem with my G500s Touch, i am not touching the screen but it makes a lot of random inputs and appears contextual menu (like right click). It's really annoying, one of these days i'm going to throw this laptop through my apartment's window.
    I already opened device manager and deleted all HID interfaces and reinstalled. Reinstalled Elan Drivers (i think maybe it is the problem, elan driver), i used windows restore 3 times and i still have the problem.
    A Quick solution for this: Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Escape. And you will not have this problem in the next 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes.
    Please, if you have solution for this problem.
    Regards.

    hi sishio,
    From your observation, it looks like the Touchscreen is malfunctioning.
    Can you try the following 
    1. Under the Device Manager > Human Interface Devices, can you do a right click and disable on anything that says HID-compliant device (this is the driver that controls the touchscreen). 
    2. When finished, reboot the system and observe if you still get the same issue.
    If the problem gets fixed, you may need to contact lenovo and report your findings as you may need to send the unit for service.

  • Problem with multi-touch screen when lid is closed

    I have a T400s with the MT screen, running a clean installed Win 7 32-bit and all latest Lenovo drivers/BIOS.
    I use external screen/keyboard/mouse at work so I am used to have the lid closed. I set in power management in the way that closing the lid does not do anything (e.g., sleep or hibernate).
    The problem is: when the lid is fully closed and external mouse is used, the mouse cursor randomly moves and clicks. When random clicks happen, I can see the finger-tap animation near the cursor on the external screen, suggesting that the MT screen receives input even when the lid is closed! It might be heat from the palm rest/keyboard area causing fake taps.
    Leaving the lid slightly open (like 15 degrees) solves this problem.
    EDIT 1: another clue of the above problem is that while the lid is closed, Windows 7's tablet input panel shows up on the left edge, which typically appears after a tap or a tablet pen gets close to the screen. I also noticed that the random clicks take place near the right edge of the screen.
    Solved!

    @ wesleyyin,
    certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
    Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
    Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
    Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
    Thanks

  • Having problems with Kernel Panic screen on iMac 17" 1.83

    I have this iMac that was running fine the we had a power surge and the computer started crashing with the Grey Screen with the darker block in the center that said I need to restart the computer. Finally it would not even come up with out crashing. I removed the hard drive to use on my Mac Pro to retrieve the files and it took forever but I finally go them. Then no matter what I could not reformat the hard-drive even though SMART said it was okay. So I replaced the hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and all the updates. Everything ran fine for a day then started then it started crashing again. i finally erased the harddrive from my mac pro by firewire and the iMac was in transfer mode. But now I can not get Leopard to install from the DVD. It shows the errors below:

    I don't know that system profiler really tests RAM. I don't know about your model but some Macs come with an Apple Hardware Test disc for that kind of thing. There's also RAM testing utilities such as Memtest and Ramber. From reading I get the impression testing for bad RAM can be finicky and requires long runs. Sometimes it is easiest by removing chips and seeing how things run in different configurations.

    Good job on getting it all working again.

  • Anybody else having problem with iPOD TOUCH ios4.3.3. deleting the special speakers menu on the Zeppelin Air ?

    The latest ios firmware update for the iPOD TOUCH (4.3.3.) has accidently removed the special speakers menu from the B&W Zeppelin Air.
    How can this problem be reported to Apple to fix it ??????????????????

    I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
    Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
    Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

  • Is anyone else having problems with an unresponsive screen and apps crashing?... Is there an update to help?

    Since I have updated to iOS 7.0.4 my screen keeps freezing and Safari and other apps keep crashing..is there anything I can do?

    Nope haven't seen any of those problems.
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    If all else fails restore you ipad as new.

  • Having problem with Ipod touch

    Thanks & Regards

    Without knowing what happens or does not happen all I can suggest is:
    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
    Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up              
    Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • Problem with the touch screen

    All buttons but phone, email, safari, and ipod work but these 4 do not.
    Do i need a new one?

    If a reset doesn't restore full function, then try a restore. If a restore doesn't work then yes, a return and exchange is in store.

    I am having problems with the screen. the graphics look like infrarred and there are stripes in the Blue screen i am using now.

    If Demo's suggestions don't help, and the iPad is out of warranty, try giving it a solid smack or two on the back with your knuckles or your palm. Hit where the Apple logo is or just above it, and be firm but not harsh.
    Something internal might be a touch loose and a good smack or two may sort things out
