My ipad keeps acting like im doing something when im not

what do i do? it keeps selecting things or if im playing a game it will make moves i am not doing and it does them over and over.

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If this doesn't help I suggest making an appointment at an Apple Store for a consultation.

Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

I just received a iPod Touch 5th generation for xmas and it acts like it is locked, when you slide the slider it says unlock button and nothing happens. Can't slide the power off either. It tells you the time, unlock button, power off button but nothing

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Meaning enter your username and password?
Are you signed in - Settings>Store>Sign In? Maybe try in the App Store in the bottom left corner - you can access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store - check there.
If you are signed in correctly - try signing out and then sign in again in order to refresh the account information.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in. Then try to redeem the card again.

IPad keeps saying invalid username or password when I try to open email

My iPad keeps saying invalid username or password when I try to open email

Are the email account's settings correct in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars ? And did you set up the account manually on the iPad or did you sync the account's details to the iPad via the Info tab when connected to your computer's iTunes ?

My calendar on iPad keeps showing the wrong month! When it is halfay through May for example on the top left it still says April!

I have changed my email address and apple ID online, but the iPad keeps bringing up the old address and will not log into my apple ID

I have changed my email address, and apple ID online, but my iPad keeps bring up the old address and will not log into my Apple ID

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

The button on my track pad keeps acting like it's pressed down.

I just noticed that the button for my track pad on my '08 MacBook Pro is acting like I'm pressing it down when I'm not even touching it. I've tried to reset the track pad and restart my computer but it's not fixed the problem. I'm not exactly tech savvy so any detailed help would be welcomed.

If the trackpad surface does not move down when pressed, the battery may have swollen and is pressing on the bottom of the trackpad. The battery may explode or catch fire. Take it to an Apple store for inspection.

Why does my iPad keep asking me to allow cookies when it already does?

Since the weekend my iPad keeps asking for my id and password. When I enter it, it keeps saying I have to allow cookies before I can update anything or use iCloud, the cookies are enabled but it still won't work.
Please can anyone help?
Frustrating.

Hey there Stirrups,
It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iCloud account successfully due to this message that you need to accept cookies but you have that set correctly in Settings. I recommend starting by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then closing all the running apps on your iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT201412 the phone keeps acting like its shutting down and won't do anything?

The phone keeps powering down, then will act like it is rebooting and then powers down again. It won't show that it's charging.

Do not start it up again. Take it in for diagnostics and service.

I export using quicktime and it loads and acts like its working then when it is finished there is no exported file. It's as if nothing happened!

I have used imovie in the past for editing gaming videos but due to a software issue i have had to make a return to imovie. The issue is when i try to export either just by exporting movie or exporting using quicktime, it acts like it is working then at the end it finishes and there is no sign it worked at all. no exported file in any folder and no error message. also there is an error when i try to optimize but i can do without that if need be. Thanks!

When the software update box opens on my mac, I click to upload it, but it never does. It just keeps acting like it trying to upload, but nothing happens. Then I have to go online and upload it from a website. This happened with 4.0, 5.0 and now 6.0.

I cannot seem to upload the update. After I click on "update firefox" it just keeps showing a moving line on my mac but never actually uploads.

My iPad 2 acts like I am touching all over the screen when I am not.

On the plane ride the other day I was using iBooks, and my iPad started scrolling through the pages like crazy (even when I was not touching the screen).
Now, it will just start performing actions (clicking, swiping, multi touch, zoom, etc) even when I am not touching the screen at all. For instance, when I am in mail, it will all of a sudden bring up the reply menu, change emails, close the app, scroll, etc and it is just going crazy.
I don't know what to do to fix it, but I am 3+ hours from the nearest apple store.
Any suggestions? Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having the exact same issue now. What did you end up doing?
I restored the thing but didn't work. It keeps doing it. It does it for so long time I even took a video of it to show at the store: http://youtu.be/BqGCyEQU-mY
Good luck!

Why does my ipad keep saying incorrect username or password when i try to set up my mail.

I have both the iphone and now the ipad. My mail works fine on my iphone, The emails are my own for my own businesses but i have never had a problem with the settings (pop3). My wife has emails also for the same companies and they work fine on her iphone.
BUT when i try setting yup the same mail accounts on my ipad it keeps telling me the unsername or password are incorrect - i know they are not. I did wonder if it was down to the fact that i wanted to set it up on two devices (couldnt see why this would be an issue but thought it worth trying) so i set up a brand new email account and i am still getting the same response - it will let me send emails from the ipad BUT it will not receive them. I have deleted it and re-installed it but always the same message
Just upgraded to IOS6 but i still get the same issue
Help me please as this is driving me mad

how are you connecting to the internet?
think is many mobile network providers block various ports which some mail services rely on

My Phone's not on silent yet it keeps acting like it is

After for the last few days not knowing I had texts cause I couldn't feel or hear it vibrating I knew something wasn't right. The volume is turned up to the max, there's ringtones assigned but its still keeping the silent settings. What should I do?

I would try a hard reset of your phone (hold down the lock screen and home button at the same time until your phone restarts).
