IPad Touchscreen Tapping/Swiping Issues

All of a sudden my iPad touchscreen is making me double-tap an app to open, and not allowing swiping or other type of movement.

I think you have enabled VoiceOver accidentally; read how to turn it off:

IPad touchscreen malfunctioning

I recently updated my iPad mini to iOS 7, and everything was going fine until a few days ago. I was on Safari and the touchscreen began responding to something other than my touch. It randomly clicks links and scrolls up and down without me touching the screen. In addition, the left side of the screen is completely unresponsive to my touch. This was not just isolated to Safari, as everywhere on the iPad has the same issue with phantom touches and an uresponsive left side of the screen. This has continued for around four days, and I have tried closing apps, restarting the iPad, and even a full system restore. Despite everything I have tried, the touchcreen still seems to be having issues. I was wondering if there is anything else I could try, or if I should just send the device back to Apple.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Have you tried resetting it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. It won't hurt the device. I'ts just like 'control/alt/delete' on a computer

IPad touchscreen is not responding even if I did the restart procedure.

IPAD 3 battery charging issues

iPAD 3 battery charging issues. Read most of the discussions. My question is: If I take my iPAD to Apple Genius bar - what's the test they do to qualify for a replacement (do they place it on a charge and see the charge for Y% for X minutes or do they have other methods)

We're iPad users like you, so don't know.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Ipad wifi incorrect password issue

Hi:
I just bought a Ipad 3G 64Gb. In my home it can connect to my WPA wireless network fine. At job there is a WEP WiFi network wich I cant connect!!.
I'm sure the password is fine but always I get "Incorrect password" error. I tried with my laptop and Iphone 3G (IOS 4.1) with no problem, but with the brand new Ipad there is a issue...
I tried by looking information about this and it seems is a IOS bug...
Is there a fix, workaround or something?
Thanks in advance

Regarding PW length:
The length of a WEP key depends on the type of WEP security (called "encryption") utilized:
40- / 64-bit WEP: 10 digit key
104- / 128-bit WEP: 26 digit key
256-bit WEP: 58 digit key
Also: A WEP key is a sequence of hexadecimal digits. These digits include the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.

Since downloading OS 6 for my iPad, my calendar keeps issuing repeated alerts - even though I didn't even initiate one. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks for your input !

Since downloading OS6 for my iPad, the calendar keeps issuing repeated & different alerts for events even when I initiated none.
Any suggestions as how to stop this will be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance !

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

Edge swiping issues on Yoga 11?

I just got my Yoga 11 RT(refurb), but I am not sure if I am having edge swiping issues or not. In laptop mode I can swipe from the bottom right edge up(right of the windows key), but not the left. I can only swipe in that same area in other models in both landscape and portrait mode. In laptop mode I can't swipe from the top down to bring those menus up. Left and right swipe work fine in laptop and tent mode. Is this normal for this device or did I get a defected model? Thank you.

Hi,
Still the same issues.
I chatted with Windows support and they said they can fix it, but they want charge me for the premium support 149 USD.
Contacted Lenovo/IBM support, but they send me an email that they not support Yoga and I should contact Lenovo support helpline.
There is no email address to Lenovo support on the site. I will need to contact Lenovo by phone.

IPad Touchscreen Issues

I recently sent my new 16GB wifi iPad to Apple due to some touchscreen issues I was having. Upon receiving the iPad, Apple did testing on it and concluded that they could not reproduce the issue. The problem was that there was a ½" portion of the touchscreen not responding to touch. I got back my original iPad unaltered and immediately set it up as a new iPad on my computer and tested it using the Adobe Ideas app to ensure the touchscreen was working properly. The same issue is occurring as was before sending it in. It was recommended that I make a youtube video of the issue and post it on this board to get help in fixing the problem.
Here's the video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_U-3kBIJ90

Just take it to the Apple store genius bar. The video / demo you showed should be more than enough to have it addressed on the spot.

IPad touchscreen issues, please help?

When typing with the onscreen keyboard or wireless keyboard it appears that certain keys are overly sensitive and will type same character 2-3 times even though I only lightly touch it. Annny (there is a perfect example) any suggestions appreciated. This is annoying,, please advise.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

IPad 2 tapping by itself?

my iPad 2 won't stop tapping by its self and strogling ect and its doing my head in!! Recently had the screen replaced when it started and now have a screen protector but it's not better nor worse. Help!!!

Hello there Mia_Steele_,
If your iPad is still behaving like you are tapping and scrolling it, I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article:
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch
If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth
Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If you’re using an iPad that’s plugged into a power source, your touchscreen might behave differently. Try unplugging it
If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
At this point the symptoms would indicate that it is indeed a hardware issue, but if you would like you can backup your iPad to your computer and restore it as new to verify whether or not it persists in a fresh install of iOS:

Ipad 3 WiFi connectivity issues

All right.. this might be a two part problem. I was attempting to enable restrictions, and after I entered the passcode twice and tapped "Enable restrictions," it asked me to enter a new passcode again. Without doing much checking, I decided to resort to "Reset All Settings." After doing this, I'm unable to connect to any WiFi networks. I did this while at my in-laws house, and thought perhaps it was something flukey with their router.. however, after returning home, I ran into the same issue.
When I attempt to connect, I get "Incorrect password for "<my network>", and it says "Failed to join "<my network>" at the top of the password entry box. I have two sons with iPads, and I was able to disconnect and reconnect to the wireless network with no issue on theirs. I set up a secure guest network, and was able to log in with my sons' iPads, but not mine. Same issue.. I enter the password, and it comes back with "Incorrect password..."
When I set up an unsecure network, I'm able to join.and use as normal. There must be a settings issue that I'm overlooking somewhere, but I can't seem to find it or figure out how to find it while I search the wasteland of Google search results. Any help would be most appreciated.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPad 3 IOS8.x issues

I Have been having issues with the ios8.x update. After the initial update I started having things like the button that ret urn you to home taking several pushes. also links text icons taking several pushes too. That was tolerabl, then 8.1 came out. I read about it and It seemed it might fix most of my issues. Well it DID NOT!!!! As a mater of fact it added an issue or two. Like not enough memory when I am on a web page. This has never happened ever. I have a 64gig wi-fi iPad3. IIs anyone else having this same issues?

IPad mini lte safari issues

My iPad mini lte has an issue with safari. I cannot view any websites other than google through the search area. I tried closing, clearing cache, history and even reset. Nothing seem to work. Any help would be appreciated

I think I understand more clearly now.
You said that you reset - do you mean that you held the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appeared and that didn't work?
Start all over again. Clear Safari, close the app completely and then reboot the iPad.
Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data.
Tap the home button to go to the home screen, double tap the home button to bring up the recent apps at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Tap the red minus sign on the icon to close it. Tap the home button.
Reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen.
After the iPad fully restarts, try Safari again.
