Iphone6+ Screen unresponsive & then operates on its own without user input

Hello All,
I've noticed a few issues crop up over the last 3 days, first my touchscreen was refusing to acknowledge my touches. I then restored to factory settings.
Then after everything was restored, same issue apart from this time the iPhone would operate itself opening programs, type keys i was not pressing. its got to a point where i reset back again but still having the same issues. Getting annoying now as hard to enter password or pass code as phones types something else even if the phone is not being touched
Has anyone been experiencing this in the last 3 days?
Kind regards
Mark

Hi Flipp3r,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the touchscreen wasn't responding and now is responding erratically. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Cheers,

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own? If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts? If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again.
The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment. If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening. If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

When I connect my iPod to the computer, it connects for only about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own before synching. How do I fix this?

I had my iTunes and library on my home computer. The computer crapped out along with the hard drive. I have my library on my iPod and want to put it on my new computer, but any time I connect the iPod to my home computer (and work computer for that matter), it only connects for about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own. I go to look at the iPod as a hard drive and I have nothing but empty folders (contacts, calendar, recordings and something else), but nothing is in them.
1) How do I get my iPod to connect to my computer?
2) How do I get my iPod to connect to iTunes?
3) Why don't my music files on my iPod show up on my computer?
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes. I have done the "trick" of hitting the 'Menu and Center' buttons at the same time unitl the Apple icon appears. I have tried going into Disk Mode. I don't know what to do now. The word "Resetting" scares me because this is where I have my 150 GB of music stored and I'd rather not have to upload my CD's again.............will resetting affect that? The word "Restore" is even scarier!!!
Help!

i am using a cable connector like this one.. it works with audio when pluged into a stereo but not a TV.i am trying to display video from ipod, also from other apps.. i also want to know why it does not work.
i use the video app on the iPod and video stored on other aps.

Late 2011 model display problems: white screen and shuts off on its own

A few days ago my macbook pro (late 2011 model) starting going nuts. The screen would turn white or become pixelated all the sudden, even if all i'm running is Chrome. The laptop is not over heated. This is what would happen:
Screen goes white or become pixilated
Computer shuts off on its own after a moment
Attempt to reboot, stuck on apple logo screen (pixilated)
Shuts off on its own again
The only way to reboot is through safe mode.
I've tried resetting SMC and running an apple hardware check.

It's most likely the macbook pro 2011 denied by apple GPU problem many many others suffer from too.
you can read about it here if you have a few days.

If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Is it normal for your iPod touch 4th gen screen to come off on its own?

So I have had my iPod touch for a while now. I understand that things get old and fall apart eventually, but what confuses me is how does the screen come off on its own? I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was reading a book that some light was able to come out from the top area of the screen where the camera is located. I started to investigate about it and turns out the the top area of the iPod had came loose. A few days later I noticed that it started to get worse. It started to allow me to see the components on the inside. Then my screen turned off not allowing my to turn it back on when I later found out that one of the cables that connect the screen had came lose and popped off the connection for it. What should I do? Please help me and tell me what I should do to fix it.

"Do you have any duct tape?" Seriously, no it shouldn't come off, contact your Apple genius bar and get it fixed. Good luck.

New Ipad 2 32gb Screen has a mind of its own!!!!

Hi, i got a ipad 2 32gb today and sometimes the screen seems to have a mind of its own. It switches randomly between different pages without me touching it, I have tried a rstore but it is still doing it. Just wondered if anyone else is having or has had this problem?????

Well that certainly isn't good. One thing I would suggest if you haven't tried already is calibrating the screen. Menu>Settings & Tools>Touch Settings>Calibration. This helps mostly if you are having issues with the screen thinking you are pressing a different part of the screen, but doesn't hurt to try. Also, make sure you have the current software version VX11VKV11. You can check by going to Settings & Tools> Phone Info>SW Version. If you have an older version choose software update. If you are still having issues, then this is a hardware issue and the phone will need to be replaced.

P55-GD85 shuts down then reboots on its own?

I have just set up a new P55-GD85, when I shut it down, it reboots on its own?
I would appreciate ideas on how to fix this do do a normal shutdown

Did you try disabling every option in the "Wake Up Event Setup"?
I just checked the Changelog for the latest BETA Releases for your board. The latest BETA Version is A7585IMS.132 [v1.3b2] and among other things it includes the following fixes that seem to address the problem you are experiencing:
Quote
- Fixed WOL still work after disable LAN controller.
- Fix after use LAN (on PCIE slot) wakup S1,system can't shut down from OS issue.
For you, this means good news: Your problem is already known and was, at it looks, already fixed. All you have to do right now is to contact MSI Technical Support and ask them to provide you with that BIOS Release.

Once you have the BIOS, ensure that your system is stable and then use the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to flash it (please avoid M-Flash or Windows based method for minimum risk).

Power button on iPod touch operates on its own

Hello,
I have a 64 GB 3rd generation iPod touch. I bought it new about four years ago. It has NEVER given me any problems mechanically, and I know Apple has a good track record for this. However, about a week ago, response of the power button became a little spotty. I figured this was no big deal, as the device is four years old, it should be expected that every single button should not be as responsive as it was the day I got it. I left it at that and enabled Assistive Touch to releive some of the stress of the power button. This worked fine until three days ago, when the power button actually began to dictate to the device on its own. I am getting the same spotty response of the button, but now it will wake up the device and put it back to sleep again all on its own. I could be in the middle of selecting a new song or giving a voice command - then bam! The device puts itself to sleep. There are times when the device receives so much input from the power button it will flicker on and off from receiving so many spastic commands. Then, at other times, the device behaves as normal. A good way to describe this is electronic epilepsy. The device will be functioning as normal - then the next moment - it literally appears to be having some sort of seizure. It flickers on and off and sends all of the imaginable commands from the power button one could think of. Sometimes the button sends the shutdown signal and I get the "Side to Power Off" pane. I know this is an old device and that these mechanical altercations should be expected, but this makes it very, very difficult, and above all, irritating, to accomplish a task even as mundane as switching songs. Like I said, this little iPod has been great and it has withstood many elements which should have done it in (like braving extreme sub-zero and above-100F temperatures multiple times). So its life has not been a walk in the park, but it never displayed any signs of weakness, which is why I am baffled that in a perfect working enviromnent this odd quirck is occuring. But I like to think of it as a workhorse, and I sure as heck wasn't looking to invest in another flagship iPod model just at the moment, so I would dearly love to get this issue resolved and get back to having this thing as my daily companion. I have already done a factory reset and set it up as a new iPod. This did not help. Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to just get this device under control? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

Some of the suggestions listed here like the alcohol one are applicable
fix for Home button

My ipod acts as though someone is invisibly pressing the button and starts jumping to different screens without user input any help out there

my ipod touch acts as though someone is invisbly ushing the buttons or moves from screen to screen without usere input

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing wll be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/newiPod
If still problem you have a hardware problem and service is necessary.

I have Photoshop Elements 11 installed on my PC, and now it flickers on startup of the Editor, then closes on its own with a message saying it has stopped working.

Photoshop Elements 11 has been working for over a year, and now suddenly it flickers on startup, then closes with a message saying it has stopped working.
Is there a repair option to fix it?

I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Screen dims to dark on its own during use. Software/hardware problem?

Since I upgraded to 10.4.10 and had a new hard drive (WDC WD1200BEVE-11UYT0) and a new memory chip installed I have been having a problem with the screen suddenly dimming, most times dimming to the lowest setting. When this happens the 'sun' screen brightness icon appears and you can see the level brightness indicator bars drop. This happens w/o any regular time interval, sometimes it seems vibration related and sometimes not. After it occurs, I can sometimes bring the brightness level back up and it will hold, other times it falls back down again and repeated attempts to bring it up will not work; if you give it some time to rest, 30 sec. to 2 mins, then it will work. I have no idea what is going on. Is there a setting I need to adjust, is it a glitch and it needs a software patch, is something/a connection loose in the computer? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks

S90 freezes then restarts on its own

I have the latest android lollipop update. Phone freezes then restarts. This happened twice already. First time, I was on flipagram. Second time, I was actvating wifi. Also, there is low signal reception. Both sim cards will lose signal sometimes then it will have signal again but it's still in the same spot, didnt move it at all.
Im thinking, I may be overusing the phone? I am a student so I am fond of using apps and I turn wifi off several times everyday when Im dont need it to conserve battery.
Before this problem, I also had the stuck on lenovo boot screen problem but it got fixed after the lollipop update. Could the phone be defective?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi louisecabrera
Could the phone be defective?
It's a possibility.Take it to a service center for a checkup.A valid warranty should cover this.
If you haven't did it already you should try a factory reset first.
