Ipad types on it's own

My ipad mini types on it's own and will open new apps all on it's own. What could be the problem?

Hello, Nikki831. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    If your iPad was work provided there may be options that they locked out. For example, a privately owned device can be set to never auto lock (last I knew anyway) but it's not uncommon for work or school provided devices to not have the 'never' option.

    Try this.
    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

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
    Was it online prior to this incident happening?

    Make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store.  If they determine there is an issue with your iPad, it will be replaced.

  • Ios 7.4  nightmares. When idle and charging my screens move on their own, types jibberish on its own and sends the jibberish as a text message to random callers, changes sounds on its own.  And that's not all!!!

    The ios7.04 download for my iphone 4s has tuned the phone into a nightmare. Battery charging time is 3x what it used to be, battery drains after 4 hours whether I talking or phone is idle. I can no longer hear the phone when it rings. Here is the dealbreaker:When idle, untouched and charging the screens move on their own, type jibberish on their own and send the jibberish via text to a random selection of my contacts. The phone is charging now and I am watching the screen move to the alarm stopwatch screen. It  From there is has moved to the Sounds screen and has changed my ring tone twice. (It plays the tones as well.). My hands are not on the phone at the time and the homescreen is visible when charging begins. I have turned off so many components of the phone that there is simply no longer any reason to walk around with what has become a functionless burden. The most obvious solution is to say goodbye to Apple and go back to the brand I was using before. Thought I's give this forum one last shot. For the life of me I can not understand why so many of us have so many complaints about our devices yet no one takes the path of least resistance...which is to simply switch to a brand that is reliable. I never had any problems with a cell phone until I switched to Apple.

    Thank you. I called my carrier and told them that the i704 os made my phone unusable and that the support in the forums is populated by children like yourself who make nasty comments and provide no support, I was released from my contract. Free at last from rotten Apple and shmucks like you.

  • My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

    My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

    Backup the old iPad first, either to itunes or iCloud.
    Once that is done, setup the new iPad from the backup. Choose the Restore from Backup option when setting up the new iPad.

    When that is done, wipe the old iPad clean and set up as new.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings
    You can create a new Apple Id when you set up the iPad again.

    My iPad shuts down on its own, has anyone else had this problem?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • Future of Interactive PDF's and their ability to run on Slate/iPad type devices?

    I am sure I am not the only one wondering about this question and am hopeful an Adobe Evangelist can answer these questions.  I love what Adobe has done with indesign CS5 and the ability to combine video, animation and high quality layout content all in one document.  What is currently missing is for the pdf reader to be "touch" aware so that people can scroll through pages like an ebook, which I would think would be fairly easy to do and would give me the complete picture I am looking for.  So...a couple of questions.  I am assuming that if you use the embedded flash features within a pdf document it would require the flash player? Is it possible Adobe could figure out a way to run the flash runtime inside of pdf to get around it?  Unfortunately Apple has decided to be jerks about the whole thing, but the reality is that the iPad is not going away.  Also, if you use Adobe's encoded video format and reference it via html from inside the .pdf, is that also not going to work on the iPad?(not sure if the video player is also driven through flash).  I think it would be a good idea for Adobe to support video formats other than their own anyway for playing in a .pdf (i.e. H.264).  I guess the other alternative would be to be for Adobe toembed HTML5 content into the .pdf instead of flash for the animations and that takes the work off of the designer that way.  Regardless, just wanting to know what the overall direction is as I am anxious to develop rich content using Indesign + interactive .pdf's, and I don't think you can achieve the same level of formatting or multi-media with the epub/ebook format as you can with an interactive .pdf, so any insights as to what Adobe's plans are would be appreciated.  I also don't want to start creating content that is going to be dead soon...
    PS: I totally don't have a problem with going with a PC based slate device that runs flash, but the problem is several of my friends already have an iPad and that limits my distribution audience.  As stated earlier, it is very disappointing Apple has decided to be so restrictive and proprietary about this, but I can't believe there is not some smart Adobe person in there that can't find a technical way around Apple's walls.   Any insights would be appreciated.

    I have also been trying to implement audio into a PDF file.  I am working on a presentation that will be presented to a client on an IPAD and then they will have the opportunity to keep the IPAD and some additional reference materials that are uploaded to GoodReader (awesome app).  I developed the presentation in Power Point and converted to a PDF.  I was happy to see that GoodReader recognizes the hyperlinks between the slides (pages) however I would like to give the end user the option to hear narration or an audio blurp about what is going on on each page.
    Thought about Keynote for the presentation but it doesn't support narration.  Thought about trying to link directly to a web based audio file, that doesn't work.  Thought about trying to link to an ITunes file, that doesn't work.  This type of functionality is GREATLY needed.  I wish that Acrobat had the option to embed an Audio file that didn't turn into flash (maybe javascript?), that would be an ideal solution.
    If anybody finds a way to do this, I would really appreciate it!

  • IPAD Types by itself. Any suggestions?

    My IPAD2 types on its own with the old OS and now again with the new OS. Took it to a Genius at Legacy Villiage and they wiped the OS and installed 5.01
    type the same message over and over I suspect a virus OKOO KOO OK  OK etc

    Hello there!
    Have you tried re-booting/soft resetting the iPad (holding the home and power button for a while until the iPad shuts down)? Re-booting should normally help fix these bugs, also, if there are any latest iOS updates, be sure to update. Apple surely has fixed these bugs in the new iOS 7 series. Don't worry, re-booting/soft resetting your device won't erase any data from the device. It is just restarting the whole system again . There are chances of a virus but try re-booting the device first, if it is still the same, try contacting Apple admins . I hope this works for you!

  • I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter set it up in my apple id so she could keep all her apps games etc, how do i set up a seperate account for her ipad and also keep my own id @

    I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter and used my apple id to set it up for her so she can keep all her apps and downloads of my ipad that she was using, i was wondering how do i give her, her own apple id so that she can keep all her apps and then i can two seperate accounts ?

    You cannot transfer the purchases to another account. What she has purchased with your account will always be tied to your ID. That's the way that it works. You can have her create her own Apple ID to use with Cloud account, FaceTime and Messages.
    But if you create a new ID for her, she will have to flip flop between the two Apple ID's in order to update apps, and if she wants to make purchases with her own ID, you also have to consider the fact that she may run the risk of locking herself out of her own ID by downloading a past purchase using your ID, after she starts buying with her own ID.
