IPad 3 brightness slider moves on its own.
The slider of the brightness slider moves on its own, past the 50% mark that I set it to.
The only way to stop it, is to switch the Auto feature OFF.
Is this a bug is iOS6 or a way by Apple to provide the optimal display brightness for
colour saturation, etc under the actual lighting conditions?
Regards
I would love to agree with that, but it happens when Im actually using it. I would love to say its the app I was in too, but it has happened while in different apps. Nook app, Simpsons Tapped Out app, Clumsy Ninja, Safari. I will be scrolling or touching the screen for whatever reason and off it goes.

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!
My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.
Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later. -
My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
hey,
does anyone have the same problem?
my mouse on the screen moves on its own and presses random buttons:( so annoying
I haven't had this computer even a year and its giving me a problem.
I use logitec wireless mouse. is there anything i need to set up in the preferences?
thank youThere are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
7. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
8. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
9. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
10. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. -
I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help
Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
It could be a problem the video rendering itself. Which software did you use?
Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

The mouse moves on its own and the screen freezes and zooms in and out.
About 2 months ago I bought a new macbook pro and over the last couple of days it has produced all these problems!
The screen jolts and freezes and only has gradual movement and zooms in and out on a page and the mouse also freezes and moves on its own. This usually happens when I am on the internet.
Its happened twice now where it works perfectly fine and then all of a sudden it happens.
Has anyone else had this before? Is it a virus?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!About 2 months ago I bought a new macbook pro and over the last couple of days it has produced all these problems!

I need an arrow or some sort of icon that points and moves to alert the website user to scroll down. Are there such widgets or is there a method to make an image move on its own. Also, how to get my muse webpage to automatically scroll down?
Thank you for your help, but I believe my questions remains unanswered -- mainly, because my English isn't the good.
Here's what I am asking:
1. I need something that is animated that blinks or flashes to alert the viewer to scroll down the page. I would put the wording: Scroll Down for more (and then an arrow blinks or gently moves up and down to alert the user to move down).
2. is there a way that the entire homepage on it's own moves downward?
Sorry for my poor English.

My iPad 3/new shuts down on its own.
My iPad 3/new shuts down on its own. Not off completely though. The screen goes black and I have to hit the center button, prompting the lock screen to appear. I have rebooted it completely, and not long ago I restored it. What do I do? I'm afraid if I take it to a store they won't be able to help me because I can always recreate the problem. It's random.
I would love to agree with that, but it happens when Im actually using it. I would love to say its the app I was in too, but it has happened while in different apps. Nook app, Simpsons Tapped Out app, Clumsy Ninja, Safari. I will be scrolling or touching the screen for whatever reason and off it goes.

Hey NelanieA. Antoni,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
So your iPad turns off on its own. Take a look at this article. Even though it says iPhone the same troubleshooting steps apply.

My iPad mini keeps on rebooting on its own, any idea why?
my iPad mini started rebooting on its own about a few days ago.
it keeps on doing this after I use it for a little bit.
sometimes it is a few minutes, other times it may be after a while.
sometimes it happens when I just open the cover .Checked and I bought it last October, so it is under warranty.
Chatted with Apple support and they asked me to restore to factory defaults.
Spent 40 minutes restore it to factory defaults and it still does it.
They made me an appointment for store tomorrow and if they can confirm it, they will most likely replace the unit.
I am glad it is under warranty, but it was very close to one year.
Hopefully this does not happen again in another year.
It seems to happen a lot when i use the cover.
So....is this a reoccuring problem with the magnetic cover switch??? -
IPad 2 crashes, restarts on its own
After restoring my back up though iTunes on a Win 7 machine, the iPad 2 consistently crashes, resets on its own, reverts to home screen when starting an app, and generally does things the iPad never did. After one of times I tried to reset (off switch & home button), it locked up with the silver apple, the timing circle and two purple lines (image posted on ipadforum) and remained that way until I pressed/ held the off switch & home button again. Anyone else with these issues?
Try a System Reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, a less thorough version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark and a more thorough version of the Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks. -
Help! My iPad 2 types and navigates from screen to screen on its own!
About a month and a half ago my ipad 2 started typing multiple letters and navigated and closing webpages on its own! Its really kind of creepy because it seems possessed! I'll be browsing the web minding my own business and then next thing I know the iPad 2 takes a mind of its own and starts closing my opened pages and clicking on different pages and vice versa, also sometimes when I'm typing, it'll start typing multiple letters when I just press a letter once, for example, I'll try and type "Supernatural is about to come on!" and It'll type "Suuupppeeernaaatuuural is aaaabbbboooouuuuut toooo cooomeee ooon!!!!" At first it did this like every blue moon and I would cut the screen off and cut it back on and that would stop it, but now that doesn't work anymore and its happening a lot more frequently! Does anybody know what causes this or better yet how to stop it?
When you say "cut the screen off and cut it back on" do you mean you press the sleep button so the screen turns black and then tap the home button to bring up the lock screen and unlock it? If so, you are just momentarily putting the iPad to sleep and nothing more so that's not going to solve anything. I don't know if this will help but do you ever turn the iPad off and turn it back on - reboot? Don't know that it will help but it can't hurt.
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to turn the iPad off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try it and see if it helps. -
Ipad mini constantly restart by its own
The screen suddenly displays some black strip then shut down and restart, happens often with some tap and sometimes on its own. The issue starts to constantly happen ever since one time when the device shut down by out of battery. Any help to resolve this issue? This happens about 10 times a day and really gets me frustrated.
Hi Kokynu,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPad mini is sporadically restarting on its own and know how frustrating situations like this can be. To troubleshoot, I would recommend reading over and working through the information in the attached article.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support

Does Ipad - 2 require its own data plan
Does an ipad 2 require its own data plan?
Yes - if it is a 3G iPad. Each 3G device requires its own data plan. You do not have to activate a data plan - you can just use the WiFi and get a data plan if and when you need it.
