IPad mini is flicking in and out of apps on its own. What can I do

My iPad mini is jumping in and out of apps on its own. Or when I'm in one and try to close it goes to home screen and app is jiggling then it reopens not closing. Then will start just opening programs at will

It's usually just a problem when the app crashes and then you tap it again and then it closes and opens again, it will usually stop after a few times. If this is happening while you are in an app and it crashes and does that, it's no problem, just wait a couple of seconds and play the app again, nothing will happen. It's no biggie, don't even sweat it, it rarely happens. Besides, it's happened to me too, it does no damage to your IPad mini.

I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

I can't close the Numbers spreadsheet anymore, nor navigate on it. I can open and close the App Numbers though. What can I do?

Hi! I was playing around with my iPad and was opening and closing different Apps. Suddently the file I opened in Numbers got stuck. I can't navigate on it anymore, neither can I go back to the other Numbers files.
Could you please advise, what I can do here.
Thanks!

Quit Numbers completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Numbers by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Numbers icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then try Numbers again.

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

Hello Jesslocko,
Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

My ipad mini keeps rebooting over and over again, even after a total reset. what to do?

Hello people,
I have my ipad mini since christmas 2012 and it was working like a charm.
But a few weeks ago it rebooted out of nowhere, and now it reboots like every 5 minutes average.
Sometimes it wont boot up properly and boot 3 times in a row, i sometimes even have to force it to reboot by holding the home+lock button.
I reset my ipad and then restored from a back up but it didn't stop.
Today I reset mty ipad again without restoring from anything, just blanc, like out of the box, installed facebook and youtube app and a few minutes later it rebooted again.
I think i've tried anything but maybe you can help me.
Bye from Holland

Can i order iPad mini in Singapore store and deliver to Thailand ?

Can i order iPad mini in Singapore store and deliver to Thailand ?
It's not availble in Thailand store for now.
My friend want to give its to her boy friend.
(Sorry, if my English is bad)

The Apple Stores will not ship out of their country, and I believe similar restrictions are placed on authorized resellers. So no, that will probably not be possible. Unless you or someone you know will be traveling to Singapore, your friend will probably need to wait until the iPad mini in Thailand is released, which I would recommend anyway since until it is her boyfriend would not be able to get any service on the iPad mini should service be required.
Regards.
