Ipad2 is doing it's own thing. opening appplications typing etc what should I do.

ipad2 is on the fritz opening applications and typing on its own. just started a couple of days ago. I have cleaned it multiple times and I have closed all apps and shut he device down completely numerous times. Do I need to take it to the apple store?

Did that right after first post. As soon as I open it it goes haywire. Also did a hard reset holding power button and function button for 15 secs. You got anything else?

On my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse, on my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse

Having trouble with my MacBook Pro and the cursor jumping around and doing it's own thing. Clicking opening up other folders etc.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
5. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
6. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
7. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
8. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Bridge from CS3 won't open and just sits on the task bar. If I hover over it, I can see a small view of the last screen I was working on. It won't open up full screen, what should I do. I've closed it and restarted my computer numerous times with no luck.

Trackpad doing it's own thing after upgrade

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro which I updated to Lion yesterday. A few hours after the update my trackpad began dragging, right clicking, jumping, doing gestures when I was just moving the cursor around, using one finger.
Closing the lid, restarting the computer or doing the P+R-thing during startup temporarily makes things normal again, which is why I think it's a software problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
NOTE: I can use a USB-mouse without any problems, it's only the trackpad acting up.

have u had any response? i'm getting the same thing !

I was sent an email from a family member that was not her email address with just a link and open the link. What should i do?

I was sent an email from a family member that was hacked that had a link and by mistake open the link, what should I do.

Spammers harvest email address from a variety of sources. Just because your family members name is on the email does not mean that your family members email was hacked. But it's a good idea you let them know you did receive that email. In the meantime do not respond to the email and delete it from your device.

Mail quits immediately after I open it...what should I do?

Ok I accidentally posted this in a tiger forum...oops.
Anyways, I have my Mail set up as my inbox for my college email address. At first, I didn't encounter any problems with this (for the first 2 months or so), but within the past week I have begun to encounter this sudden quitting problem. I'll open Mail, and it'll pop up, begin the whole "getting online opening mailbox" process...and then it quits. I get the standard "Mail has quit unexpectedly, would you like to submit a bug report to Apple" pop up, and I have sent in a bug report twice already. I restarted the computer once and that seemed to alleviate the problem, but I suspect it's only temporary. What should I do to get rid of this problem permanently? Thanks!

Might be a damaged eMail/attachment or mailbox, as well as a plug-in.
Try to start Mail.app with the shift and/or alt key pressed. Then rebuild your mailboxes. Disable or at least update any third party plug-ins you have in use.

TS3308 The settings in my iPad does not have the button iPad cover Lock / Unlock, what should I do to make the button appear?

I just bought an iPad mini on 24th June, previously I had just use the iPad 2,
when I bought my iPad in Sydney, the salesgirl said that the settings of iPad mini would be the same to iPad to but the difference would only be the size.
But after I bought the casing at another store I use it immediately but when I close my casing the screen didn't sleep. So when I open my settings I couldn't see anywhere the button iPad cover lock or unlock.
What should I do ? Help??

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.

Can't set Transition times. iMove does it's own thing random times.

When I try to enter a transition time between clips it may actually change but not to what I had entered. If it changes at all, it tends to be to a random number. I have the preferances set at 3:00 but even this does nothing, the default remains at 0:05 which is vertually no transition.
Can anyone enlighten me? What am I doing wrong ? Has any else had this problem ?

I am interested in knowing where or how you acquired such information. It is a source I obviously need to investigate myself. There must be more unknown hidden gems lerking in there.
oral tradition.
When I started participating here, Karl Petersen was the undisputed iM Mastermind. He knew everything about iM; I never figured out, but I suspect, he was in contact with Randy U's team at Cupertino.
Somehow, we lost him here. I'm not the 'community'-guy, rumors has it, he passed away (not only here).
Second source was/is Daniel Slagle's Unofficial FAQ ... he doesn't maintain it anymore, since the rise of iMovie-b.
Taking a look behind the odds of iM was Lennart Thelander's website (wow, really old school hand-coded!), which listed bugs and gave help for iM-a. Lennart didn't switch to iM-b yet, now avail for about four years - too new for Lennart, too fast development ... so, no news from there.
For sure, David Pogue's Missing Manuals books have to be mentioned ...
In all modesty, I'd like to mention my own websites ... me no engineer, diff. attitude here: Daddy (=me) likes movies and especially special-effects - so, how to accomplish magic with a 12$ app? or, how to modify iDVD to my needs?
We 'combined forces' in the iMovie Output Project when the discussions about interlaced got boring.-
With iM-b coming up, Aaron's Unlocking iMovie is another source for 'tricks' (I'm jealous about his professional design …)
And finally, a while ago I was highly irritated, that FinalCut Pro Mastermind Tom Wolsky joined the 'amateurs party' here, he's a FC/p sensei, usually participating in the pro forums ... that was before iMovie-on-steroids (=FCPX) appeared ... now, I know why he actually published a worth reading book about transition from iM to FCPX
... the rest is ... experience, interest, curiosity, and hours of reading any source, from wikipedia to fcp.co ...

Ipad Air does it's own thing!

Hi all, got a problem with my ipad. When you open a page e.g. ebay, after a few seconds it will start scrolling down on it's own and will open another page. I tried 5 times to write this message on the ipad but couldn't. I called in to my local apple store and the suggested I restore the ipad using itunes via my laptop. This I did but it didn't work. I'm hoping someone can suggest a solution otherwise its a 120mile round trip to apple.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

[SOLVED]screensaver does it's own thing.

Hi,
I have a minor glitch with gnome screensaver.
I set it to start after 25 mins but if I go off to do something it kicks in after about one minute.
I tried using xscreensavers instead but they either did not start or had a similar problem.
dpms is set to true but putting time value options in did not help.
This is arch 64 bit.
I know it's not bad..I still have a screensaver...
but it would be interesting to discover the cause of this unwanted behaviour.
Gnome power manager doesn't seem to work at all when I tried using that instead.

Hi Nepherte,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried that. The xscreensavers still kicked at the wrong time and also had an error across the top:
'Missing generic event extension on display 0.0'
Which apparently means that my xserver does not have xga support. This should be fixed in the next release of xserver.
I don't suppose it matters if it starts after five mins of inactivity, it might be better for my screen.
Then when another xserver comes along I can use xscreensavers.
There are compiz screensavers but they require something called 'git', which the website said might be unstable.
I could reinstall gnome but it's not worth that just for a screensaver.
It's just that gnome-screensaver has about 4 screensavers and I don't like them.
The other thing I remember is when I uninstalled gnome-screensaver (before all this) there was a warning something about pam.d has been copied.

When I click on the Firefox icon to open it, it does not open and comes up with the crash reporter. This happens every time I open or restart friefox. what should I do?

Firefox keeps crashing. I can't get it to open to do any of the troubleshooting steps. I have run Malware and there are no viruses. I have re-installed the latest version and still occurs.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+crashes
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.
