In the last month my iPad has started refreshing web pages on it's own. let's say I'm filling out a form or typing something on Facebook and have to put iPad down for a minute when I come back to page, it refreshes and I lose everything.
when I first got it, it did not do this. It's very annoying. I've searched and I can find nothing and of course my warranty is up so apple won't help. any ideas on why it's doing this. sometimes if I clear cache and cookies and then turn off and back on, it will stop doing it for a couple hours
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have been using firefox for about two months now without any problems. With in the past two weeks, if I leave the laptop to do something else, when I return to the laptop and go to check my E-Mail etc. I lost my internet connection. I check and says I have an excellent wireless connection but I am forced to re-boot and then I'm back on. "WHY"
What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

I have an iPad that is now over twelve months old, it doesn't get over used, however in the last few days, it has started to get very hot after only a few minutes use, is this a fixable issue
Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning. I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state. This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months. I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong. They told me to add more memory, which I did. However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes? My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.

I was playing my iPad 2 I left the room for 5 minutes when I came back it was off and now it won't turn back on
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. -

Some documents, but not others, that I've created/edited/printed and worked with JUST RECENTLY suddenly won't open UNLESS I get the new version of Pages (for $20!!) I just edited some of these a couple of days ago! I edited one, printed it, etc. Now I need to look at it again and it WON'T open! I "need the new version of Pages??! What if I don't want to suddenly shell out $20 to work with documents I made on the version I already have? And why do SOME documents now look different (in a new style) while others look like they always have, and function normally?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I hope this can be solved. Thanks
@Steve_Clairman, if you are looking for the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus), it will appear if you turn off the classic menu bar:

I checked out microsoft windows, and graphics are all there, but I like firefox, or at least use to. I've checked yourFAQ section but can't find any help there.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

I close out the window I'm in out put my computer in standby, then when I come back and try to get in it says that Mozilla is already running and I have to log off then and log back on. Why is this happening when I'm closing my page before I go into standby?
if you can't close Firefox... Try to open Task Manager
(Press and Hold: Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
And find name "Firefox.exe" in task manager list, right click and click "End Process Tree" and it will close immediate.
That's all. :)
Hope this will help. -

The case of my 7 month old mpb has started to get very hot within 2 or 3 minutes of switching it on. Is this normal and is there anything I can do?
The heat generated by the system is directly related to the load put on the system and the speed of the fans.
The former (high CPU load) generates heat, the latter (fan speed) dissipates it.
If your machine is getting hot then either some process is consuming lots of CPU power, causing more heat to be generated, or your fans are not working properly to dissipate whatever heat is being generated.
So the first question is whether your fans speeds kick into high gear or not? if they don't then it could indicate a hardware problem, either with broken fans, or with broken temperature sensors that control the fan speed.
If the fans do come on but the system is still getting hot then I'd look for a software issue - some process that's running rampant. It should be easy to spot with something like /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. There should be a lot of processes listed, but most should use just a few percentage points of CPU power. If any process is using a lot of CPU power then it warrants some investigation - what is that process? should it be running? Is it failing in some way. Post the results of your Activity Montor report and I'm sure someone can chime in. -
My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.
I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.
