Ipad screen appears to go to double tap to access anything

My ipad screen appears to go highlight icon then double tap the icon before it will open.

Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

The ipad screen appearance streaks mold (like status "bamboo root" on the DSLR camera lens)

I have bought iPad2 two years ago (3G 16GB )
Recently the ipad screen appearance streaks mold (like status "bamboo root" on the DSLR camera lens). This mold streaks increasingly spread.
Is it the manufacturer fault?
How can I fix it?
I currently live in Vietnam. I'm looking forward to your help.
Thank you!

not true! I served with apple devices such as ipod, iphone, but have never been, nor google search on that information

My IPad needs double click to access anything and does not scroll through anything

IPad needs a double click to access anything and then does not scroll down.

Do you need to tap (and the app/item then gets a box around it) and then double-tap ? If you do then you probably have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

With my iPad 3 I have where you double tap it shows my browser and the image is of a closed tab from in the past. Why is this and is it still pulling on the wifi to load it?

When I double tap the home button and it shows my open browser as an option to select, it will display the image of a recently closed tab. This occurs in regular mode or privacy browsing. The type of browser doesn't matter either. Is it still running the closed tab and pulling on the wifi as well? I haven't checked other apps like eBay but am suspecting the same. How do I change this?
Thanks!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Touch Screen not working can only double tap

My iPod Touch is freakin' out! First it takes a long time to reboot (stays on white apple logo). Then, I can't slide to unlock. I see boxes over the areas I touch. The only way I can unlock it is double tapping the unlock slider.
Once unlocked, it's the same with all the apps. An outlined box surrounds any app I try to open. I can't even slide the pages. I have to double tap the small dots at the bottom.
Any ideas. I've tried to restore to factory settings but nothing changed. I did add about 5 free apps yesterday while using wi-fi. I even played Assasin's Creed most of the night and this morning.

Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait fro the phone to boot back up./

My start up screen comes up blank and I can't access anything but system preferences. Can I reset my laptop. It's a MacBook air

Help my start up screen is a blank screen and the only thing I can access is systems preferences. How can I reset my laptop

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Have you tried connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it? See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

My iPad screen appears to be unresponsive in an invisible line noticeable when using various apps.

My iPad seems to have an unresponsive lnvisible line down the centre so when playing various apps such as words with friends you can't move a letter tile across that line. Occasionally the screen goes crazy like a hundred buttons are being pushed at the one time and it flicks between different screens despite the screen not being touched.

Hm... That's very strange. Are the apps made by the same developer? If so, it may have something to do with that. There may be a fault in the programming.

My actual (brand new) iPad screen appears to have bubbles after on it after I removed a screen protector. HELP

Can someone help:
I bought a new iPad from the Apple Store in Danbury CT the day before yesterday (it's a Verizon iPad). I bought a screen protector for it today and after deciding to remove it, was left with bubbles on the actual screen itself.
Any thoughts.....Thanks.

I just really find it hard to believe that the screen itself has bubbles in to, but we can't see the device. Why don't you take it to an Apple Store and have a genius look at it? Or take it back to Verizon, since they put the screen protector on it.
Is the touch screen responsive ... It works OK?

I have an Ipod touch and the screen stop rotating even after double tapping home and sliding left to right

I have restart, restored, and it still didn't fix the problem

If you are still having this problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod (you did not say what restore you did) that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
Can someone help me please
Thanks

AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.
