IPhone6 apps, email open at random on their own

My iPhone 6 goes haywire on occasion — unprompted by any action or settings change — and the apps and emails and screen swipes start opening or occurring in rapid succession on their own or it starts dialing a number in my address book. This has to be a virus or hardware issue. Anyone seen this and/or have a solution?

THANKS for your prompt reply  Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

  • Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own

    Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own and the wrong ones open when another is pressed. I've tried a full reset but still the same thing...HELP PLEASE :-(

    I'm not familiar with the Belkin cover, but you could try removing the cover and reboot the iPad and see how that goes.
    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.

  • My apps dance open and close on their own in my IPad 2 what can be the prob? I have already restored

    I got the charger flex or pin changed and now the apps dance on the screen, photos open and zoom in, then out, the other apps open and close. I have already restored the device with Itunes and prob is still there. What can be the problem? Any suggestion will be welcome. Thank you

    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.

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
    Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
    The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB  RAM installed.  The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it. 
    Ciao.

  • Opening image files in their own windows in PS4

    Before PS4, I could open image files in their own windows. In PS4, when I want to open more than one file, these open with tabs and any new file I open is added to the tab queue. It is annoying to right click on each tab so each file is in its own window. Is there a universal preference to change this annoying behavior?
    Using a Windows environment with Photoshop CS4 Extended.

    see the tabs setting in the preferences. you can turn that off.

  • Ipad 3 apps opening / closing / typing on their own

    Hi,
    We purchased an iPad 3 today.
    It went through the set up process fine. We switched it off  for about 20 minutes after calling Telstra to activate the sim card. When we switched it back on, apps began opening / closing / typing furiously all by themselves. Just sitting on the table completely untouched it would fire through apps.
    We have turned it off/on. We have reset it. We have just left it alone. But as soon as the screen is unlocked the same thing keeps happening. It has slowed down and is not happening at the rapid speed it was, but apps continue to open and type gibberish on their own accord. Also, we have noticed that some of the 'keys' on the keypad don't respond, though we haven't done a lot of typing because as soon as you start you get overridden by whatever crazy thing the other apps are doing.
    Extremely disappointing and frusterating.
    Is this a glitch in the new iPad? Do we need to return it?
    Many thanks for your advice.

    You said that you reset it ..... But like 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 - let go of the buttons
    If you tried that and it is still acting up, have you restore the iOS software yet?
    If you have done the reboot and restored the software, I would return it. That is certainly not normal behavior. Personally, I would be inclined to return it no matter what. I would hate to think that this could occur again on a brand new device.

  • How can I take 3 devices off of my email account and give them their own account. We are sharing storage and need to each have our own account.

    Everyone in my family has an iPhone or iPad and they are all on one email account. How do I take them off and give them their own accounts so I can have my storage back?

    Have them delete the iCloud account (your email address) on their devices then let them create their own iCloud account -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436.  If all of you are syncing contacts and calendars on the same iCloud account, they have to re-organise those stuffs once they have their own iCloud account.  When you delete an iCloud account, it normally asks what would you do for the synced information - keep it on the iOS device or delete.  If they choose to keep the synced information (e.g. Contacts and Calendars), they have to delete those thare aren't theirs or they can start from scratch by deleting the synced information from the iOS device.  Hope this helps.  Cheers!

  • All apps/programs switch to Finder on their own... buggy.

    Hello guys and gals... It's a simple but awful problem. No matter what I'm doing on my computer, any program/app I'm using will randomly switch to Finder on (it just happened while I was typing) it's own.
    At first I thought I activated a certain key command or was hitting a special area on my mouse. But now that I've experienced this issue for a few days, their is no consistency. My only (just did it again!) observation is that I need to be using the computer... if I'm simply listening to iTunes, it won't switch completely on its own, but if I'm surfing in Firefox or editing in Final Cut, it will switch once an hour up to every minute.
    This isn't my Macbook BTW, it's a 11.4.11 G4 tower. (43GB HD space left) and I only have a few apps at a time open.
    Thanks for reading!

    Hi Monty,
    It's likely some 3rd Party APP that got broken by the recent QT or Security update.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • IPod touch aps open and close on their own and iTunes player starts up

    I have done four complete wipes and re-installs and aps are continuing to open and close at random even if iPod touch isn't being used. Random tracks begin playing while screen is locked and aps open and close randomly throughout. I've completely wiped and reloaded numerous times to no avail. Apple insists its a software issue, but it occurs with most updated versions and even if I have loaded nothing but the preinstalled aps to the iPod. The song tracks playing at random are never the same, and there's no consistency as to what ap is open when this happens.

    Send it to Apple or a third-party place.

  • How do you make programs open and close into their own tab in the dock, like they do in windows?

    You know in Windows, how there is a tab for each program in the taskbar?  And, if the program is minimized, when you click the tab, the programs restores.  And when you click the tab again, the program minimizes.
    Can this be done on Mac?
    Thanks!
    Bret

    Here's my ungrateful response...
    I should have posted screen shots in the first place!
    Here is what I'm talking about.  In the first screen shot (in Windows), you can see that there are programs running in the taskbar, but all the windows are minimized.  The mouse is hovering over the "Computer" tab in the tasbar at the bottom of the screen.  I am about to click the left mouse button once to restore the "Computer" window onto the desktop, but I haven't clicked it yet...
    In this next screen shot, you can see that I have just clicked the left mouse button once and the "Computer" window has been restored (is now showing on the screen)...
    Then, WITHOUT MOVING THE MOUSE TO ANY BUTTON IN THE "COMPUTER" WINDOW, ETC, IE. THE MOUSE IS STILL IN THE SAME PLACE IT WAS WHEN I CLICKED THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON ONCE TO RESTORE THE WINDOW, I click the mouse button again and the window minimizes!...
    All I'm asking is if anyone knows of a way to mimic this behaviour in OSX (in the dock) - either within the operating system itself, or with an addon app, etc.
    Right now, as you know, in OSX when you click the program in the dock, the program restores, but then you have to move the mouse and click on the yellow button at the top-left of the program window to minimize it again.  This is because once you click the program window icon in the dock to restore the program window, the icon is then removed from the dock - thus disallowing the possibility of clicking it again, without moving the mouse, to minimize the program window.  I'm trying to see if there is a way so you don't have to move the mouse to toggle the window from minimized to restored to minimized again.
    Or to be even more clear...
    This next screen shot shows the desktop in OSX (mine happens to be Lion 10.7.5) and we can see that the Firefox program window is minimized into the dock into a Firefox program window icon.  I have not yet clicked the mouse button to restore the Firefox program, but I am about to.  The red circle at the bottom left of the screen shows where the mouse is...
    Here, in this next screen shot, is the screen once I have clicked the mouse button on the Firefox dock window icon and the Firefox program window has been restored...
    As you can see, the Firefox dock window icon that I just clicked has disappeared and, in that place instead, the red circle is now over a different dock window icon.  The Firefox dock window icon is now missing from the dock and is therefore unclickable.  If the Firefox dock window icon was still there, I could just click on it again to minimize the Firefox program window, and subsequently click it again to restore, and so on - like I am able to do in Windows.
    I hope this clears things up.

  • Is it possible to open multiple files in their own workspace, rather than as tabs or floating?

    You could do this in CS5, but it doesn't seem possible in CS6. It's a bit clunky when dragging from one file to another in the tab mode. I liked having the workspaces open side by side.  Help?

    Your probably used to using the Arrange menu that was to the right of the menu names in cs5, but in cs6 you can get the same options under Window>Arrange.

  • New websites do not open in their own tab when left-clicked, despite setting up Firfox to do so - links OK however

    From the Google search results , if I left-click a site, firefox does not open new site in a new tab. I have accessed tools/options/tabs and the ticked the box to open new windows in their own tab.

    Use Ctrl left click
    * or right click and use open in new tab
    The open in tab option you have selected is for where the action would otherwise open a new window.

  • My kids are on my email account.  I want them to now have their own accounts.  Can they still use all of my music and apps?

    I have my kids' iPods on my account.  I want to put them on their own accounts.  Is there a way I can do this without having them lose all of the stuff on my account?  And can they still sync things that I download if they're using my computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your children are under 13, you should open 2 new accounts for yourself and let them use it. They can use these ID's for iCloud and so have their own email! contacts! calendars etc, but still share your original ID for iTunes for apps, music, etc. You can continue to sync them with your computer.
