IPad gone crazy, typing by itself. Replacement only option?

My iPad have never worked, 5-10 min after I started it it is typing by itself. Like a self playing piano. This video illustrates the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkP0dfw598k&feature=related
So, do I have to return it or can it be fixed somehow?

Here's a longer thread on this issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2412750&start=0&tstart=45
Please at least arrange a phone call with Apple support. We need them to acknowledge this as a known issue so they will replace them under warranty. I have yet to get Apple to replace my iPad with this issue, because I can't replicate the issue at will.

IPad gone Crazy

Folks, I have no idea what has happened. My iPad now regularly freaks out. At least once a day one of these things happen:
The icons jump back and forth, right and left,
Photos launches all on its own and then picks photos, zooms in on them.
Safari starts to shake and then keyboard pops up and keys get typed on their own as if I'm using the keyboard.
I have to close the app when it happens which then returns me to a completely froze iPad requiring a full reboot.
I've restored from previous back up and I've also done the full restore and yet I have the same problem.
Please advise!
Thanks,
LAR

Since you have done a restore, did you try in ascending order:
1. Power cycle, turn off and on.
2. Hard reset, hold both sleep and home button until the Apple Logo appears.
3. Factory restore via iTunes.
If none of those work, it sounds like a time to visit your friendly Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff have a look at the iPad.

Yesterday when I turned on my iPad there was icon that ask do I want to upgrade IOS well I didn't know what that was so I said yes . Well every since my iPad gas gone crazy . When I go to a send button it keeps showing the copy and paste icon over the button . Today I was sending a phone load to friend . It was a $3.85 load . But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?
Try posting to the correct forum.

Has Anyone Found a Solution for G5 Fans Gone Crazy?

First of all, let me say that I am a long time Mac user going back to the Mac Plus days so I think I am fairly experienced in the ways of the Macintosh.
I have a G5 Dual 2.0 ghz (Original Version) that is two years old and until last month has worked fine. Then I started getting Kernel Panic every day and the fans have gone crazy, revving up and down until I want to scream.
My local Apple authorized dealer does not seem to be able to fix this problem. They have installed a new Logic Board and 600 watt Power Supply and over $700 in labor in this machine. Nothing has helped and they seem to suggest that I have a software problem. I do not agree with their assessment. I could have bought a new computer for what I have spent so far. As I type this, the fans are screaming full blast.
On the internet, I have found lots of similiar G5 fan problems but nobody seems to indicate if they were able to get the fans to stop racing and act normal again.
I have tried the normal suggestions, Engery Setting to Highest, reset the PRAM, erased my hard drive and reinstalled OS 10.4.6 several times, logged on as a new user. Nothing seems to help. Fans just will not settle down.
I bought this computer as a DEMO model and did not receive the Apple Hardware Monitoring CD. Does anyone know how I can get this disk? Perhaps, it could tell me what is wrong.
Looking for any help with this problem.
G5 Dual 2.0 ghz, PowerMac w ATI x800 video card, 3 gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Sorry to hear about your problem Robert.
Since you have already started a hardware process with Apple, it's best to just deal with them. We users really can't do much.
I'm sure software has been eliminated by now in your repair process.
The verison of Apple Hardware Test on your install disks is no longer compatible with your firmware and OS version. Only Apple Store folks and techs would have a recent copy. I'm sure they ran it several times by now.
Take your machine back and say it's not fixed, remove your boot drive so they would have to use their own. Try another boot drive and remove the first.
All we can really do.

IPad keeps trying to erase itself

So yesterday I thought I lost my iPad while I was out. I used Find my iPhone to erase all the data on it figuring that if it was returned to me/if I found it I could just restore from a previous backup. I found my iPad a couple of hours later, but when I found it the screen only had the little buffering circle on it. I was confused because I thought that if I deleted everything HOURS before that it would be done by the time I found it. Well, 36 hours after initially trying to erase everything it's still stuck on the buffering circle screen. I've turned it off completely by holding down the power and home buttons, but when it turns back on, within 5 seconds its shutting down to try and delete everything, but it never deletes anything. It just stays stuck there. It also won't go into recovery mode, and won't stay on long enough for me try to reset it from iTunes. I haven't found any solutions for this online. Any suggestions? Is my iPad gone for good?

Recovery Mode should work. Are you doing the following:
Connect the iPad to the computer via USB
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time
When you see the Apple logo, let go of the power button but keep holding the home button
You can let go of the home button when you see "Connect to iTunes"

Gps gone crazy after 7.1 update

Hi everyone.
I ran my daily routine on a standart route. But after last ios update (7.1) my iphone 5's gps receiver gone crazy. I'm using Runkeeper for keeping data. But I've tried runtastic and moves too. Its all same. I attached a screenshot, so you can understand what I mean. I hope you can solve this problem quickly, because I'm losing money each day that I miss my commitment on the app "gympact".
Thanks

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

It saves the file when:
1) The app goes to background
2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
3) A form submit occurs
4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.

IPad Mini is still restarting itself

I have been experiencing problems with my iPad Mini for the past few weeks.
It keeps going off and then back to the Apple start-up logo and rebooting itself. I have tried several different options, such as Erasing the Settings, forcing a restart (Home + Off Button), and I have reset the iOS via my iTunes.
Nothing has solved this problem and today I can barely use my iPad because it is getting itself stuck in a restart loop where it won't even make it to the home screen.
Is there anything else I can try before I take it to Apple themselves?

The only problem is tha it wasn't bought from Apple itself. I have a 2 year guarantee on it though from the other store, but it's only basic cover that was with it, I am hoping this is covered under it. My iPad is only about 6 months old and has never been dropped once, or had any damage done to it. It just developed this problem one day while using it.

Colours in one catalogue gone crazy!!

Just recently, my main catalogue I regularly work in has gone crazy with it's colours. Peoples lips are a very over saturated pink, as if the have lip stick on. Anything pink is completely blown out. I fixed it last night by changing to a different catalogue, then changing back, but tonight it seems to be stuck on crazy colour mode.
Any idea's, and it's not my system colour management, as everything else is displaying perfectly. Only problems with this one catalogue.

When i try to connect my new ipad to my home wifi i get a message saying unable to join the network BTHub and my only option is to dismiss

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

HELP HELP HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED MY IPHONE.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Be aware that the iPhone warranty is NOT International. You will need to either return to the US with the device and take it to Apple or ship it to someone you know in the US to take it to Apple.

My keyboard has gone crazy

My keyboard has gone crazy: When typing all the upper letters (q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o,p,å,) at the same time the number above (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) is also typing. Somehow I must have activated an effect whiteout knowing it. Pleas help me back to standard keyboard

Like a detectives at a clue-free crime scene, we have dreadfully little information that we can use to help you.
What Mac model and submodel?
What Mac OS version?
What brand and model of keyboard?
Is the behavior limited to just one or two programs or does it happen in all programs?

Imac Keyboard Gone Crazy Help!!!!!

Hi guys, my imac wireless keyboard gone crazy by typing random letters or maybe just letter "w"? is stopping me from typing stuff. please help! issit the software?

Hi,
Try new batteries.
And try re "pairing" the keyboard with your iMac.
Open System Preferences / Bluetooth
Click - to remove the mouse from the list on the left.
Now click +
That will prompt the Bluetooth Setup Assistant so you can re "pair" the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is powered on and discoverable.

Apple Wireless Keyboard Gone Crazy!

My Apple Wireless Keyboard's keys have either turned off or changed. For example, the keys QWERTYASDFGHZXCVBP123456,;'[]-=\[/ Do not work, and the others have gone crazy. They keys NMJKLIO Are displayed and/or work as:
N: 0
J: 1
K: 2
L: 3
I: 4
O:5
M:6
I am currently typing this with an USB Hewlett-Packard Keyboard, which my iMac Mid 2011 doesn't like.
Is there anyone that can tell me how to fix this, perhaps someone running Lion, so I don't have to look up the differences on how to do stuff.
Also It would be really helpful If someone posted the Microsoft Windows-OS X Keyboard keys conversions!
Thanks.

Wow, thats insane.
Firstly, go into System Preferences > Keyboard > check "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar".
Now in the top menu bar you should see a new square icon with an asterisk in it, click and select "Show Keyboard Viewer". You can use this this graphical keyboard to input just as a regular keyboard, and also see which modifer keys correspond as you hold them down.
Now, I'm guessing whatever is wrong its probably not with OSX if you can use your HP.
But in any case you should disconnect any peripherals and restart your iMac, IF you don't have automatic login turned on I suggest you do beforehand, just in case the HP bombs out too.
Now after restart, delete your Apple wireless keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences device list, and then turn your apple keyboard off by pressing and holding the power until the green light goes off, then single press to turn back on. Now click + in the device list, or "Set Up Bluetooth Devise" from the Bluetooth menu bar icon - see if you can re-pair it and test it out.
If that doesn't work, its probably hardware and you should take it back to the Apple store.
Good luck man.
