IPad opens apps by itself?

iPad opens apps by itself need help?

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset : Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPad opening apps by itself

    After iOS 5.1 I update on my iPad (original) it wil randomly press buttons. If on home screen it will press app buttons. If in Safar it will push page buttons. If using keyboard it will type. It often take some time of use for the to happen.

    my problem solved by this
    same problem happen to my mini ipad gen 1 last months with ios7.0.6.
    issue gone for a while after a clean upgrade to 8.1 (no restoration), but problem happen again after few software installation.
    i removed the software 1 by 1 and finally problem solved after removing of chrome.
    now everything back to normal. hope it helps.

  • My IPAD 2 opens app by itself

    I have an IPAD 2 and once you turn it on it starts opening app non-stop. I have taken it to service support and the problem still.
    Can anyone tell me what to do ?

    What do you mean by "turns on"? If you have any push notifications turned on and do not have Do Not Disturbed engaged, you may see the iPad spring to life occasionally.

  • IPhone 5 typing & opening apps by itself, "This accessory may not be supported"

    Not that long ago, I got a refurbed iPhone 5 from AT&T (around Thanksgiving). Soon after, I started having problems. My iPhone would type on its own and open up apps by itself. I would also get the, "This accessory is not supported," message while using the charger that came with the phone when I ordered it. I went to the Apple store near me and got a replacement. Now this phone is having the same issues. The guy at the Apple store told me that it was MY backup that was doing it... which I seriously doubt, considering all the people that are having the same issues as me on these forums. I just contacted AT&T and they told me to go back to the Apple store and get ANOTHER replacement... and that was after he told me that his previous customer had the same issues as I did, and he's had a lot of other customers that have had them as well.
    So, what do I do now? Has anyone found a fix for these problems? I was reading through the forums but almost every post is, "Having the same issues," with no way to fix them. I don't see how getting yet another replacement phone will fix the problem, since I've had 2 phones in a row that have done this. Is Apple still refusing to acknowledge that these are widespread issues? I NEVER had these problems with my iPhone 4, and now I'm wishing I had just gotten the Galaxy S4 instead... but since I used my upgrade on this POS, I can't even do that at this point.

    All what people?  Sorry, but if you're going to make such broad and inclusive statements, be prepared to back them up or get lots of snarky responses.

    Has the device been restored as new?

    Really?  There are virtually no such postings, considering the sheer number of iPhones, specially the iPhone 5 in the wild.

    Apple is not here, no one here speaks for Apple.

    Speaking for myself only, I have been perfectly happy with every model of iPhone I have had (3GS, 4, 4S, and 5).  Both the 4 and 5 were refurbs purchased from AT&T and they look like new.  I couldn't ask for anything better.. great value and a great device.

  • My ipod touch opens apps by itself!

  • Why app in my iPad 2 often quit itself? Restore iOS 5 already.

    Why app in my iPad 2 often quit itself? Restore iOS 5 already.
    It's happen during I use the apps even Safari too.

    There have been other users who have reported frequent app crashes after installing iOS 5. If you have restored your iPad already, but you restored from a backup, the next step maybe to restore to factory settings. Then try syncing your apps back onto the iPad a few at a time. This way you can maybe pin down any particular app that may be causing the iPad to crash.
    Before I would go to all of that work, I would try some basic things in hopes that something not quite so drastic will help.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Another way that you might be able to figure out which app is causing the problem is to close each app after you are done using it. It may seem tedious - and under normal circumstances you are not supposed to have to close apps since the iPad is supposed to allocate memory wherever needed and do all of this behind the scenes - but it is less drastic than removing all of your apps and syncing them back to the iPad a few at a time.
    To close open apps, Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps 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 any app 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.
    If you are only using one app and the iPad crashes while you are using it, that may indicate that there is a problem with that app. If the iPad continues to crash no matter what you do, then a restore to factory settings, a trip to the genius bar or a call to Apple may be in order.

  • ITunes Wont Open on my IPAD 4.Apps requires iTunes login

    iTunes Wont Open on my IPAD 4.Apps requires iTunes login to run the apps and many apps are crashing without iTunes login.
    Please help me out i can log in to my itunes account on my windows PC.But cant open it on my Ipad4
    Need help
    Thanks in Advance

    Awesomeness!
    Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
    Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
    Is this on a Vaio?

  • My iPad won't open apps without crashing

    Hi,
    My iPad mini (1st gen) keeps crashing as soon as I open apps. I've tried resetting and turning on and off but this doesn't do anything. I'm trying to restore but iTunes say I can't  because "Find my iPad" is turned on and tells me to turn it off in the iCloud settings on my iPad but obviously I cannot do this as the Settings app crashes when I try to open it. I am on the latest operating system (iOS 8.3)

    You should be able to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, then release the buttons and let the mini complete its startup routine.
    If that does not help, you can login to your iCloud account from a computer or another device that has the Find My Phone app installed, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPad Mini from the devices list.  That will free it so you can to deeper reset.

  • After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button. Any other way to close open apps?

    After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button.  Any ideas

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

  • Can not open app store in iPad 3

    why I can not open app store in iPad 3

    IF you get app update notifications, are you able to use the App Store from the Updates Tab? Try closing the App Store and reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset 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.

  • Why when I tap on a downloaded game on my Ipad does it start the game and then go back to the opening apps page

    I tap on the app for a game I have downloaded onto my Ipad and the game starts loading then goes back to the opening app page on the Ipad. Any suggestions? I tried Ssyncing with iTunes to see if there was a download listed there but there isn't anything to be downloaded.

    restart the ipad

  • Some of my apps on my ipad open but become very small and i cant use them

    Some of my apps on my ipad open but become very small and i cant use them
    Has someone encounter thsi problem?
    Any solution?

    These apps are probably meant for the iPhone/iPod touch. Some apps are universal, and other have dedicated iPad versions.

  • My Ipad 2 will not open apps that I have download from the app store but will open apps that came preinstalled.

    My IPAD 2 will some times not open apps that I have down load from the app store. But will open all of the preinstalled apps.I must go to the app store and install something and then all the apps will open. I should not have to install unwanted apps to keep my IPad working.I have reset and total reset nothing sames to work.

    Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing.  I also have an iPad 2  and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app.  And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
    You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad.  You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device.  I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything.  You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi.  And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
    I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

  • Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help please.

    Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help me please.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
