Ipad 3 acting crazy, doing things on it's own without touchng it.

My friend's ipad 3 with retina display 32GB is acting crazy. It switches between apps, closes/ opens apps, types, scrols, goes to home/ search and ...... by itself without even touching it. You can't think of using the ipad like this. It happens when you are using the ipad. It lasts from 10 secs to about 1-2 minutes or whatever. If you leave it for a while, it becomes normal ( you can use it) but after a while it starts acting weird again. We already restored it to latest frimware but no luck. Seems like a hardware problem to me. He said it used to become hot in the back while using it and playing heavey games(size of around 1GB). It is out of warranty now.
Any one having same issues?
Here's a short video clip i caught it acting crazy.

Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to diagnose it, there is nothing else that you can do if you already restored the iOS software, unless you didn't restore as a new device. If you didn't do that, give it a try, if that fails, make an appointment an an Apple Store Genius Bar,

Ipad acting crazy, deleting email, or have to delete twice

Ipad 2 starting to do strange things. Deletes email on it's own, or I have to delete it twice or empty the trash twice. The timer sometimes goes on forever. I have restarted, no change.

Oh, you have a very old iOS. I'm not sure this feature was available in iOS 4, but try Settings > General > Usage (if it exists). If it does exist, it will tell you what's hogging your iPad's space.
Note you need an absolute minimum of 10% of your iPad's total space free at all times so your iOS can run.

HT204266 my iPad has started doing things alone?

Hello ella225
Check out the troubleshooting for the touchscreen as it sounds like things are being touched randomly. You may just need to restore your iPad and then test it.

Macbook pro 2010...cursor is acting crazy jumping everywhere and responding very slow...thought it was the track pad but I plugged in a mouse and it still does the same thing...is this a virus?..and can someone please help?...

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?

It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

Why does my iPad act funny when its cold. Types by itself, moves up and down the page by itself, all finds of wild things.

I've noticed two things my Ipad no longer does, If I save an image from an internet graphic file - facebook or whatever, the photo used to be saved to photostream... it no longer saves it to anywhere. Also having made sure all the boxes are ticked with photostream and ICloud and not knowingly changed anything, photos take with Ipad/photostream no longer end up in icloud and available to other machines eg. windows pc. Anyone got any suggestions?

Try here:

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

My iPad acting so weird tonight. When it shut down automatically because the battery has been drained. When I opened it, it creates some weird sounds like *swoosh* blahblah. It does make me feel nervous. Can someone help me? Does it already broken? :(

my iphone is acting crazy plz help asap my phone is giving reading me everything i lay my hand on and is not letting me scroll down or select anything i must have accidentally switched some voice thing on plz help me close it:(

First off, try triple clicking the home button.
To scroll use three fingers and I think you have to double tap to get into something.
Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Voiceover and then turn that off.
Hope that sorts it for you

IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi. It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on. I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects. The wi-fi has no security.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My av adaptor does not work. Tried to plug my ipad into my samsung hd tv and ipad said it does not support that accessory...help

My av adaptor does not work. Tried to plug my ipad into my samsung hd tv and ipad said it does not support that accessory...help

What ipad, which model samsung? Are you attempting HDMI, VGA, or an RGB connection. Ipad 2 supports mirroring into an HDMI at an output of 1080. Ipad 1 is limited to only a few apps capable of the output, such as Youtube.
page64,65 of the latest ipad manual has more details.
Samsungs are good and should switch with the input - but sometimes you will have to select from the menu manually.
If in doubt, contact the customer support at samsung UK.
Also check - Settings/Video, that you have it enabled for Home Sharing. Apple Id which will be your .me.com email plus your apple ID password. I am not too sure about this as I cannot remember the exact order I set things up in - but page 89 of the manual references Home Sharing for sharing ipad/itunes content on a home pc/mac - so I would think it applies to content relayed to a tv or monitor too.

IPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration. Why?

iPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration. Why?

It does, but you can do better then that. You can set gmail as exchange, it will give you even more options.
The only thing that you need to know additional to regular stuff, is that instead of gmail you have to use Microsoft Exchange, and the name of google server is m.google.com. Instructions right here.

Touchscreen on my BB Playbook is acting crazy.

Hi, I have a 32 Gig Playbook that is acting crazy, like I am constantly and randomly touching the screen. It keeps radonly opening programs and what not.
I cleaned the screen. Did a hard reset, holding the Vol + and - and the power for 15 seconds with no help.
I don't have time to do a factory reload of the software tonight, but that is the only thing I can think of to do at this point.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Don

is this hapening while it is charging?
if yes remove the charger and turn off the playbook to charge it
this happened to me when the wife used her LG charger on it, the power supply ripple was so bad tee screen was affected by it

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.
