IPhone opens applications without me touching anything...help

My iphone is less than 2 months old and has some serious issues
Mainly, when I switch it on it takes on a life of it's own
It is as though an invisible set of fingers is punching my screen as various applications open/close randomly...it even rings people on it's own, sends blank sms messages, opens the calendar and flicks through it
Any clues?

Sounds like it needs service.

  • I am having issues with my iPad mini. My issue is sometimes my apps will open up without me touching them

    Hello everyone. I really need some help with my iPad mini. Lately it has been acting like it has a mind of its own, I could be reading a book in iBooks and the pages will start flipping on its own.  At times it will not allow me to post messages, as well as some of my apps, mainly my puzzle app will open up without me touching it. I really don't not know what is wrong with it. Can someone please help me

    Reset the iPad and see if that helps. Close all apps first.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reset 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.
    If that doesn't work, you should probably restore the iOS software. Instructions are in this kb article.

    If that fails, you are pretty much out of options and you should take your iPad to an Apple Store. They might be able to use their magic to restore the device for you, or if it is a hardware problem they will explain your options to you at that point.

  • One day i  was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then  it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening

    One day i  was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then  it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening my ipod is jailbroken and i didnt fiddle with the settings.. please help.

    If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here.  You'll need to seek out other sources of help.  The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
    BTW, just a pointer...  punctuation is your friend!  Your post was very difficult to read without any.  Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

    itunes isnt showing my iphone and so i cant sync anything help???

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    why does safari suddenly zoom in without me touching anything?

    Have you checked, if any accessibility settings have been enabled? Switch control, sticky keys?

  • My track pad highlights applications and files and then opens them without my doing anything. I run MacKeeper and having run the scan several times only get cleaning issues (5 -). Any ideas as MacKeeper Kromtech have not responded to my calls nor email.

    Folks
    I run an iMac. Today for some reason when I run the cursor across the screen applications and files are highlighted and then opened without me doing anything (no clicking etc) In fact print at times opens. As far as I can tell I have not changed any settings except to open firewall.
    I run MacKeeper and when I run a scan only a few cleaning items open. Safe and fast are as they should be. I run fix. If I again run the scan I get a few more but different claeing items to fix.
    I have rung MacKeeper several times without getting through. The occasion I did get through the bloke said he could not help and passed me to a higher authority. Needless to say the line dropped out after 30 minutes waiting.
    As it is the weekend and I do not live near an Apple store I am quite keen to get the problem identified and fixed so I can continue working.
    Your assistance please.

    Remove the "MacKeeper" scam product as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

  • Open application without mouse/trackpad

    Hi guys,
    I always wondered how can you open a file (document, movie, application) without using the mouse to double click it ...
    pressing enter renames the file, and I tried Cmd Enter, Alt Enter, and nothing, is there a special trick for this? Just to avoid going move my hand to the mouse/trackpad.
    I know the preview (Space bar) but I want to really open the document/file in it's default application.
    Thanks

    so easy
    I knew it had to be easy... didn't know witch one

  • When I wake my iPhone 4s, almost (95% of time) the ringer moves from 4 bars up to the max without me touching anything on iPhone. I will push the button reducing the ringer sound but 50% of the time, the ringer moves right back to 100%. any thoughts?

    I have reset my iphone and set up again, i.e., didn't use backup and it still does this. Any ideas on how to fix? It's very annoying and if I don't see it when it happens, the next time my phone rings, everyone in my office can hear it because it is at max volume.

  • Om Mac 10.8 firefox window keeps moving off screen without me touching anything so I cant accomplish anything.

    I cant use firefox. It slides by itself of screen and I need to go to dock to bring it back. It happens every few minutes and sometimes even more frequently. While is off screen I am able to enter information into it. So it satays open but invisible

    Are you accidentally hitting the F11 key? That will cause any open window to slide off the screen.

    You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.
