My iPad is possessed-any helpful hints?

I will be reading in an ebook reader and suddenly pages start flying backward (has happened in 2 different readers). I will close out the reader and then random apps open and close in rapid succession, sometimes calendar will open and open multiple different weeks and then any app I have used recently opens and closes. Has been happening more and more-completely shutting down helps but then it will happen again a few hours later. Some areas of Penultimate sometimes accept sketching and sometimes I have a strip where it will stay blank, sometimes keyboard won't take input to certain keys and sometimes I barely touch 1 key and it repeats itself numerous times no matter how lightly I touch. It is getting really annoying.

Here is a follow-up:
Took it to the genius bar-they sucked out all the info, including the OS and reinstalled it so it was like new , but within the first 10 hrs of use it started typing by itself and then opening and closing music from my iPod and opening and closing random apps. Keyboard was almost impossible to use . Shut it down and then it worked OK but I knew it was only a matter of time before it did it again and the genius guy said that if it did it again it was definitely a hardware issue , not software.Penultimate still had a strip that would only take input from time to time and mostly left a clearly defined strip that stayed clear when sketching even when the rest of it worked OK.
I went back today and they tried some things for about 5 minutes , then went in back and gave me a new one. Working fine so far. I have to say Apple was very nice about it and I didn't have to pay anything for the repllacement. Overall I am very satified with how they handled it.

No LTE toggle in my iPhone 5 but works perfectly on my iPad(4thgen). Any help please?

Sorry, iPhone 5 does not support LTE, with that carrier, where you are. That's why you don't have the enable LTE switch. iPhone 5 only supports LTE in the following countries:

Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

TS3253 I have iPad 2 and can't get it to see new Bose sound dock 10 also with blue tooth. iPhone saw it easily, not iPad...any help?.

Any help in getting iPad's blue tooth to find any device is helpful.

Touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
So to enter your passcode you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to hightlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

TS4036 I have had to do a factory reset on my ipad3,when i restored via i.cloud not all my apps were restored how can i get them back,they show on the back up list on my ipad in icloud,any help is appreciated thanx, Andrew

I took my Ipad to my local Apple store as it would not d`load or update apps. They factory restored it,on icloud backup restore not all my apps were restored including some i`d paid for, they show up on my list of appsin icloud, how can i get them back? any help very welcome, thanx...Andrew

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

HT201365 forgotten ipad passcode but cannot restore because find my phone/ipad is activated, any help

iv forgotten the passcode on my ipad 4 useing ios 7 and when i try to restore using itunes on my pc a message appears saying that the find my ipad feature needs to be switched off first on the ipad, unfortunately i cant get into the ipad to do this, any help please.

Hello emilyg06,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at this article about what to do if you have forgotten your Passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Try this first:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
And this section if the above does not work.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
All the best,
Sterling

Droid Razr M update is a nightmare - any helpful hints out there?

The latest update for my Droid has been nothing but a nightmare! I couldn't even use the phone after the update was forced on me. Many hours and several tech calls later to Verizon and Motorola and I can at least use the phone after having to do a factory reset but I am NOT happy at all! Hoping someone else has worked through these problems already and can help me out.
Bluetooth - had to reconnect to my car obviously and now I am not longer notified on messages when I am in the car?
Battery life - where did it go? Where does it go? All I know is it goes - FAST! Way faster than before the upgrade.
Random messages saying Amazon Kindle or Appstore or NFL Mobile has crashed. I never installed or use them so why does this keep happening? Can they be disabled without causing even more issues?
Text messages - used to be able to delete several at once now it is one at a time. Completely unacceptable! I can get a hundred or more messages a day from work and I have to delete them all one at a time? I have to save some if I need to reference it later so I can't just throw all of them in the trash.
I have been ready to pitch the phone since this "improvement" was done. I could go back to my old flip phone - didn't have all the features but I never had any problems with it...
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I appreciate it!

HitCast,
I'm sorry you are having trouble installing the update. I'm surprised that with the steps you have taken, you are still unable to install it. Are you using WiFi? When going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates what displays? If you are in Settings>About Phone, what information displays under Android Version and System version? Generally, if the software is not installing through this path, a master reset would need to be done to help push the update.

Any helpful hints on how to get videos to play on my IPad. It constantly stops while it is playing

Videos constantly stop when I try to watch them on my IPad, except the ones I take with my IPad. Videos on Facebook and some on YouTube

If you are testing on public wifi, that hardly helps. Public wifi is always over taxed with users and slow.
WhenI said test, I mean to go on the computer and test the actual speed of your internet and wifi.

Applications sound is damged on my ipad!! Any help?

There is no sound or voice when i open any of my applications on my ipad or even the typing sound, when i start typing on the keyboard it used to make a sound but not anymore now! Although all my sounds volume are on the max! What can i do? Format my ipad or is there any other solution!

Have you got notification mute on (which will mute most apps) ? Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Uee Side Switch To, notifications can be muted either by the switch on the right-hand side, or via the taskbar (double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, slide the bar to the right, and it's the icon far left). More info about the switch here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

I cannot seem to download the latest version of Adobe Flash to my Mac 10.7.5. It stops at 95 percent finished. Any helpful hints out there??

I've been trying for some time. It seems to install fine until it reaches 95 percent finished. Then, it freezes up and nothing else happens.
I've tried deleting all the old files under Adobe Flash and re-installing the latest version for mac.
Nothing.
Any leads on this??? Thank you for your time!

katiafromasheville,
have you tried downloading the standalone version of Flash Player? If that downloads completely, then you should be able to install it successfully.

Bluetooth file sharing between computers will not connect with my iPad 2. Any help will be nice

I have been trying to send files through bluetooth and cannot get the ipad to receive. Does anyone know how to fix this? Can it be fixed?

That depends.
If you have Pages on your iPad and Pages on your computer they should both support iCloud. Setting up iCloud and turning it on for Pages will allow Pages documents to be sync to both devices simultaneously.
I do this all the time. Changes I make on my iPad are automatically synced to my iPhone and computer.

Seems I have a iClould account but not sure how I got it or how to access it on my iPad. Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.

Seems I have a iCloud account on my iPad but not sure how I got it as I do not remember signing up for this feature. I got an e mail message saying I was running out for space on my iCloud and was given directions on how to find it on my iPad. I followed the directions but there was no iClound anywhere in my iPad settings.
Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.

If your iPad is running iOS 5 or higher, iCloud would be listed in Settings. If you are signed into an iCloud account your iCloud ID would be listed in Settings>iCloud.

Checking values in a loop, any help would be great

Am having a right messy time trying to solve the following problem.
tring to stop the same question appearing by checking the new random question agains the questions in a db. if it already on the db it get another randomQuestion from another source. But up to now it's not checking it right and still coming out with questions that are already stored on the db. any helpful hints would be very grateful. also very new to java so bare with me.
String newQuestion=ClientCommunication.getRandomQuestion();
s.execute("SELECT * from questions"); // select the data from the table
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet(); // get any ResultSet
StringBuilder results = new StringBuilder(900);
if (rs != null) // if rs == null, then there is no ResultSet to view
while ( rs.next() ) // this will step through data row-by-row
results.append(rs.getString(2));
results.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
if(newQuestion.equals(results.toString()))
newQuestion=ClientCommunication.getRandomQuestion();
questionLabel.setText(newQuestion);
answerField.setText("");

though the string would hold all the questions and the loop would check through them to see if anything matched. just findthing this abit hard to get my head round sorry.
"single question maybe should be matched to a single row result" like have each question on a new row ?
ta for your time
