IPhone 5 acting possessed.

This problem just started a few hours ago. Every time I go and watch a video on YouTube, my music starts playing for a few seconds and then will stop. After this started happening, I just decided to listen to music and the song I was listening to randomly stopped, then sped up, and then stopped again. I would even go and kill the music and YouTube app but this problem kept occurring. All of this happened with my headphones in. It seems to be ok without my headphones. My iPhone have does have an update available and the phone is close to full. I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year give or take. I have no recently dropped my phone or got any water on it nothing on the phone is broken and I've never had any problems with the phone. Thanks!

I have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.

My 'mighty' mouse acts possessed

Ahoy all!
A random thing has begun to happen on my mighty wireless mouse, but only in the evenings:
I will be moving it and it will go in a random direction. If I leave it still, the cursor will remain in the same place, but when I move the mouse...it becomes possessed! It usually goes in the general direction and will just veer, but sometimes it will go in a completely random direction or shoot across the entire screen!
It seems like I am picking up someone else's bluetooth signal, as it only happens at night (when a neighbor might be logged on to their computer?). I checked on my bluetooth devices and found a mouse there that I did not recognize (called 'Michael's Mouse'...and we have no neighbors named Michael) and deleted it. Unfortunately, the mouse still acts possessed and it gets really frustrating when you have full control only about 90% of the time.
Help...

I had the same problem, make sure that your Bluetooth connection is invisible. That should solve the problem...

HT201401 Hi.. My Iphone acts as if it is dead. Tried a lot with Sleep +home buttons as well, but did not worked. When it is plugged in, keeps on charging with a regular beep. Please advise.

Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

IPhone acts as a repeater between other iPhones and cell tower??

It sure sounds crazy but this is what someone is claiming, that the iPhone acts as a "base station" to repeat calls from other iPhones to the cell tower.

Is there anything to this or is there any official or at least clear refutation of this claim?

That's just plain foolish. They're simply preying on people's unfounded fears to peddle their products.

My phone is acting possessed. It is moving all over the place without anyone touching it.

Look, if you don't define what's wrong (posessed and crazy are not technical terms), then we can't help you.
You need to clearly define the problem, what you've done to troubleshoot, and what happens when you try.
If you can't do that, then just find an Apple Store and take it in so someone can actually see it in action. We are not psychic.

My Iphone 5 is acting possessed, what should I do?

I got my iPhone 5 almost a month ago. The moment I opened the box and used it, the screen won't respond to any touch. And after a while, it would suddenly move on its own like opening apps, playing music and typing messages. So with that, I decided to hand it back to my carrier and have it checked. After three long weeks of waiting, they gave it back to me and told me that there was no problem found. After two days since I got it back, the same problem occured.
It's really frustrating. I hope you guys can give advice.

reset all settings
settings-general-reset-reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
Peace, Clyde

Accidentally overwrote iPhone with iPod on iTunes. How do I get my data back? Now iPhone acts like iPod.

Hooked iPhone onto Mac to download songs from iTunes. Accidentally restored it as the iPod previously used. Now all data, pictures, content erased from iPhone. Now it acts as an iPod. iPhone was never synced with the Mac nor backed up. It will now, but how do I revert to the old iPhone?

The hard drive cannot be damaged any further by simply removing it and then putting it back in. If it was getting progressively worse, it may now be at a point where the data is not accessible in any normal way.
Since your iMac is still covered by warranty until December, you need to get it fixed. That is the first step. Whether you can recover your data or not, you need a working iMac. Ask the Apple Store to give back the broken hard drive so that you can send it to a data recovery shop, even if you do not intend to do so. If Apple says they need to retain the old drive (since it is being repair under warranty), take it to an Apple authorized repair shop (who can do the same work under warranty) that will let you keep the old drive.
After getting your iMac fixed and working normally, you can try to recover the data. You may be able to access it through a USB or FireWire external case. But if the drive is not at least visible in Disk Utility, I don't think other utilities such as Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro will help.

Iphone acting odd

My son's phone is acting odd now. When I tried to update all apps on it, it keeps saying there is no space in storage and I need to take care of the storage. I deleted a bunch of apps and the music from what I downloaded onto my iphone and it still says the same thing. I don't understand what is going on with it. He said he went on some **** sites but I don't know if that is what is the problem that is causing this. Is there something I can do to fix this? Or a reason why I have to update all one by one instead of all at once?

Lost new iPhone, enabled lost option online on icloud, old iphone acted as lost. Would the new iphone also act as lost?

My new iPhone has been stolen.
When I synced it to iTunes the first time, I decided to transfer all of the data from my old iPhone onto it, so they also have the same name.
I logged into iCloud and tried to locate my phone, then enabled the "lost" option.
I then turned on my old iPhone which acted as if it had been stolen.. (the message popped up on the screen, plus my mac notified me that the phone had been tracked, etc)
I was wondering therefore, if for my Mac they are the same phone? and if it is so, would the "lost" option be enabled on both phones?
Thank you so much for any help.

Thank you. The old one will stay reported?

IPhone 4 possessed

Since upgrading the software on my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1, I have had problems with the screen being very unresponsive and at times it seems to be possessed. It flicks from app to app at one time calling Apple HO and deleting e mails. I have restored the phone on iTunes but it hasn't made ant difference. Help!

Made an appointment to see Genius in store over weekend and guess what - phone now working perfectly!! Should I still go or cancel and see what happens (don't want to waste their time but don't want to be stuck over Christmas with a phone going mad)?

Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

do a reset
hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

Macbook purchased in June acting possessed, not sure what else I can do.

SPECS: MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 4gb 1600MHx DDR3 RAM, 500gb HDD running OS X 10.9.4
Okay, so my family purchased me a new MacBook back in June, after my other one died after nearly 5 years. Right out of the box I had problems with it. When I first booted it up, it froze and crashed. After I finally was able to reboot it and get it up and running, it was extremely slow and would constantly freeze. I immediately contacted Apple Support. Unfortunately, I was stuck home after knee surgery and couldn't get it to the store, so they remotely checked my computer out and deemed it was "fine". Okay. They informed me about the warranty, yadda yadda.
So the problems continued, I re-contacted them and they instructed me to take it in for service as soon as I could. I had to wait a bit for my knee to heal up before I could get myself over to the mall. I went, they ran some tests and also declared everything was fine. By this point, my computer was routinely crashing, failing to start up properly, and started just doing.. strange things. They recommended I back all my photos up to an external HD (which I did), bring it back another time and have them completely wipe and reset it. Did that about 3-4 weeks ago.
I've essentially left everything alone besides putting some of my photos back on from the external HD. Not long after they reset it, it's back to doing all sorts of crazy things. I haven't even been able to use this thing besides being a thousand dollar Facebook and email machine.... try and do anything else and it crashes or freezes. I can't even use iPhoto to edit photos because it immediately locks up and I sit there for 5 minutes per photo watching the dang pinwheel go round and round. Now the computer overheats and the mousepad has become possessed. I've started recording some of the bizarre things it does, and showed them at the Apple store and just get a "hmmm..." from them... I can be sitting here watching Netflix and besides barely loading half the time, the mouse just spazzes out and goes all over the screen clicking on things. Trying to type this out is already a nightmare because the mouse just shoots all over the place, clicks on things, highlights things, erases things and goes over to the other dashboard screen... so I'm constantly having to sit here clicking ESC to come back to where I was. The brightness will change from time to time too, and the plugging in/unpluging the power adapter instantly sends the computer into a frenzy (yes, I am using the charger that came with the computer, and it is plugged into a surge protector). When I try to regain control of the mouse, it still shoots all over the place and clicks on things.
I don't know what to do. I've deleted everything, reset everything, put on a firewall, etc. I tried to boot in Safe Mode and it won't work. The computer has a mind of its own. I think there has got to be some sort of problem with the logic board, I don't know what else it could be. I find myself having to hold down the power button to shut it down because it absolutely refuses to shut down if I click on the shut down option on screen.. it pretty much just tells me NOPE.
Please help. The Apple Store/Support said there is nothing more they can do for me because my family apparently purchased it through Best Buy, so they said they don't cover things bought through 3rd party. I wasn't aware of it and not sure if I should try going through Best Buy? I am on the other side of the state from my family now, and none of them are particularly gifted with computers, so not sure if how I would get the receipt from them if that's what I need for Besy Buy, or do I just go there ? I've never dealt with Besy Buy before, but can only imagine how awful that's going to be....
Thanks so much.

Thank you for your reply. I figured I had the one year Apple care warranty regardless, but when I expressed wanting the laptop to be replaced since it seemed defective out of the box, they told me it was pretty much my problem to go deal with Best Buy and do an exchange through them. My last MacBook really had no major issues until it died after 5 years.. very disappointed in how Apple has been handling it this time around. I have another Genius Bar appointment for this Thursday, I guess I will try yet again to see if they can make this right.

IPhone acting wierd after 1.1.3 update.

After the new software update, my iPhone screen stops responding randomly. It only happens while I'm on safari and the iPod. It only happens rarely on the iPod, but when on safari, it happens enough to be a nuisance. Is this a problem other people are having or is it my iPhone itself?

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps in the order I provided with my first post in this thread with the last being calling AppleCare or making an appointment at an Apple Store?
This is not normal except for getting slow to think from time to time with powering the iPhone off and on - which should be done with a GSM phone every few days or so regardless or a Reset which should take care of this aspect.
I power my iPhone off and on each morning before beginning the day and I usually do a Reset once a week or so just to keep things running smooth.

My iphone is possessed. Lockscreen lights alone

I received a new iphone 4 (the previous was broken)
I installed the ios 7.1.1 and restored my icloud apps.
When I lock the screen, 10 to 20 seconds after, the screen turns on and 1 seconds after turns off. This happens continuously until the battery runs out.
I've restarted the device twice and the same happens.
HELP...

I did as advised but the problem still persist. The curious thing is that the problem does not exist when the iphone is charging the battery. ????
