IPad Mini controls itself

This is my second iPad Mini. The first one started typing by itself and furiosly controlling itself making it impossible to use. Still under warranty I got a replacement.
The second one, acquired also brand new from an Apple store is doing the same thing after about 8 months. Has anyone been having this problem lately? Perhaps this is something that Apple must seriously look into.

I've had that same problem the last couple of days. Question: Did you turn on the "reduce motion" feature? I turned it on the other day, I just turned it off and so far so good. I by no means am sure this will solve it.

Why would iPad mini disable itself when correct passcode is entered?

My daughter's iPad mini disabled itself even though an incorrect password was never entered? It started with a 15 minute lock out followed by 30. At some point it went to a 60 minute lockout and after a half hour or so reverted back to 60 minutes for no reason. I finally got my hands on it and after the 60 minute clock expired I correctly entered the first three digits of the passcode and the iPad promptly disabled itself for good. This makes no sense. I'm aware of the restore drill. What I want to know is this: Why did this happen and is there some sort of Hail Mary play that will prevent a complete restore.

Did you reboot the router?
If that doesn't work, test it... will it connect to a public router (wifi) like in a bookstore or public area? If it works, then the problem is with your router.

IPad self controlling itself

I have seen several posts about this issue last year but no current posts. Has anyone experienced their iPad self controlling itself? Zooming in / zooming out, selecting apps, typing keys, etc. Please advise

My ipad was dropped (by a small person so watch out who you let handle it) but did not seam to have much damage (a little dent in the metal covering). I took it to the Apple store they sent it in and said the drop caused the damage. Wish I had a better answer for you, but that's what happened.

My Ipad mini locks itself while i'm still playing..I need some help _

While I'm playing/surfing the net, my ipad mini randomly locks itself, and when I press the home button...it's locked...what was the problem there? Can anyone help me? Coz it's annoying >_<

Locks itself like it goes back to the lock screen and you have to slide the "Slide to Unlock" bar at the bottom of the screen? That is quite strange if that is what it is doing. Try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot 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

Ipad screen controlling itself

Hi all,
Its been exactly a year since I bought my iPad and used it on average twice a week but now, just before I updated to iOS 7, the screen suddenly began to 'control itself', meaning it was clicking on things without me touching the screen, I've tried soft and hard resets but have been unsuccessful so far.
Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks.

My sister had this happen with her iPad 3 and Apple had to replace it (it was new).

IPad mini switches itself off during game

Hi
Have recently bought a new iPad mini for my son.
He thinks its great and really enjoys it.
However whilst he is playing games such as angry bird etc etc the iPad switches itself off and returns to main menu !!!!
Is there a fault with the iPad or is there something I need to change in settings ???
Would greatly appreciate some help please

hi there,
I started this original discussion and I have got to say that after upgrading it with the latest software available online, the problem has not occured as many times anymore. However, I still believe that the battery life of the nokia n95 is rubbish and I am seriously considering writing to Nokia to complain as the provider Vodafone is useless.
In the mean time, I have had another problem occuring which is that the screen freezes itself out of nowhere and you have got to switch the phone on and off to get it to operate again.
I am very disappointed with this phone bearing in mind that I was one of the first to have this phone and it went on sale for £500.

Thank you Texas Mac Man for suggested links but have already tried all those. It is a contstant filling up of storage daily. Restart ipad mini and then OK for the day. Something, some app or ? is filling up it up or at least it thinks it is filled up.

I have no music and no video (tried deleting all) very few apps. 16GB ipad Mini fills itself up (storage full message by end of each day) with adding nothing. Just checked again, no music no video and my two biggest APPS FB and Kindle just over 100MB each a few other smaller APPS is all that is on it. Tried the restore and back up. Same prob. The same problem is happening with my 32GB iTouch. (Exact same problem)...my wife's ipad and son's mini are not having the issue. If I restart computer it frees up tons of storage and if I check says 13 GB free. If I check in about and hour maybe 7GB free etc until full and now won't let you even check websites. I have cleared data from apps tried deleting just about everything, tried restore...don't know what else to do. Since so many posts are out there with same mysterious storage filling up hoping a fix would be coming. Could it possibly be a common App or? If I do plug into computer and sync with iTunes (depending on what time of day) it will show entire device full (yellow bar) "Other"....if I just restarted then plugged in OK and shows 13GB free. Any ideas? WIll keep holding on and restarting a couple times a day so I can use it...thanks

I remember this conversation from your earlier thread (iy makes more sense to stay on the same thread than to start a new one.
Since it is happening to both your devices, but now your wife and son's, it is likely associated with one of your apps, which are on both devices. delete them all, and add back one by one until you find the culprit.
This could also be by having i cloud tied up in an endless attempt to sync stuff across the two devices. I remember earlier posts about the contact syncing getting stuck between 2 address books that did not agree, and it could not rectify which was the master and which is the slave.
So turn off the cloud, and see if the behavior stops. If it does, turn on the services one by one to figure out what is causing it.

My IPad Mini Crashes Repeatedly

My IPad Mini at regular intervals crashes. This happens in all apps, i.e it's not specific to just one app like Safari.
Anyway, I can be using my iPad mini to play a game, change my settings or even listen to music when, starting at the top of the screen and descending towards the bottom, blackness obscures the screen. The IPad mini then does something very similar to shutting down, by which I mean the light fades from the screen altogether. A few seconds later, the IPad mini turns on again and the Apple symbol appears. Most of the time, the IPad mini turns on and gets to the lock screen then crashes AGAIN. This happens in a loop about 4 times before it settles down and stops crashing. I then may start listening to music or gaming before it crashes AGAIN
.My IPad mini is a 16GB with wi-if only (no 3G), is a couple of days old and hasn't been mislaid or mistreated in any way. I have also not used much of my storage up, with 10GB left out of the 16GB. I have however used up almost all of my 5GB ICloud storage with 400MB left.
Can I also say agin that these crashes occur regularly, and can happen at anytime, whatever I'm doing.
Help? :)

I have a brand new iPad Mini that my Aunt got me for Christmas. Well, I was playing a game
on there and all of a sudden my iPad Mini restarted itself. The Apple logo was on there.
I was like what's going on here. So, I restored it...... So, far I haven't had any problems but
I did talk to this girl yesterday at Verizon Wireless place and she told me that if it starts
acting up again take it to Apple Store in the mall and they'll replace it. I'm like I didn't
get it there ,but she said it doesn't matter because it's not your fault that it's doing that it's
Apple's fault.
Do you think that it's the IOS or the games causing it to crash and restart itself?
I went on Diganostic and Data on it and looked at the crash report. I've never seen
so many.
If you are having problems with your's you can take it to the Apple Store and see
if they'll replace it?

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps wit

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps with ios7

Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
This is repeatable too.
SUMMARY:
1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
Any suggestions? Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing? Or a simple setting on the unit?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

My iPad mini randomly reboots itself. I have already connected it to iTunes and reset/ restored the device. Any suggestions?

Recovery Mode is your last resort per the instructions here. Also, read this.
If still no joy, make an appointment with the resident "Genius" at the closest Apple Store.
