My iPad mini is typing on its own, changing pages etc. what is wrong???

My iPad mini is typing on its own.  The touchscreen seems to have taken on a life of it's own!  Can anyone help me fix this?

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

  • Ipad mini constantly restart by its own

    The screen suddenly displays some black strip then shut down and restart, happens often with some tap and sometimes on its own. The issue starts to constantly happen ever since one time when the device shut down by out of battery. Any help to resolve this issue? This happens about 10 times a day and really gets me frustrated.

    Hi Kokynu,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPad mini is sporadically restarting on its own and know how frustrating situations like this can be. To troubleshoot, I would recommend reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • My iPad mini is working on it own even I'm not touching it. I tried to reset it but nothing works to fix it! Pls help.

    My iPad mini is working on its own even I'm not touching it. It's even changing from one apps to the other without my control! And type on its own!! I tried to reset all contents setting many times but it does not fixed the problem. Please help me!

    Erasing the device doesn't do any good if there is a problem with the iOS software. That merely removes the contents and settings from the iPad. You need to restore to factory settings and restore the iOS.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

    Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
    This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
    I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled.  I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
    I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
    I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
    I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
    Thanks for all your help.
    Gratefully,
    Cheri

    Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.

    hi, my iPad 2 startd tapping on its own. it keeps repeating the tap on the same spot. i can't seem to find any remedy for it except to switch off and on it again, and even that is a temporary fix. any ideas please?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IPad frequently shuts off on its own

    I was near the end of writing a long email today and the ipad suddenly shut off on its own.  It has been happening for the past 3 days with other programs also, with the battery far from depleted.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Is there a way to save draft without closing the email?  Possible to trade in for a new iPad with this reason?

    When you type an email You can save a draft by tapping the word cancel in the upper left corner and an option to save draft or delete will pop up. Select save draft.
    I assume that you mean that the apps are crashing and that the iPad is not shutting off on it's own. If you use an app and it crashes it takes you back to the home screen. If the iPad totally shuts down, the screen turns black and you cannot wake it by tapping the sleep button or the home button.
    If apps are closing or crashing, try to download any free app - restart the iPad and see if that helps keep the other apps from crashing or closing. If it works you can delete the app if you don't want it.
    Try closing apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. All of your recent apps will be across the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the left corner of all of the icons in order to close the apps. Tap the home button twice. Then restart the iPad.
    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.
    You could try resetting the iPad as well. Press and hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
    If the iPad is totally shutting off - it could be time to restore the device.

  • Is it normal for an ipad to shut down on its own?

    the problem is my ipad suddenly shut down on its own having 70% of the battery charged and it would´t turn on again. i went for help to the mac service on my city, im from mexico, and the guy there just turned it on using the home button and the power button, and said it was normal, it happend to all ipads, iphones and ipods, i did not consider it normal, i own 2 ipads, 1 ipod touch, 1 iphone 3gs, 1 iphone 4, and i know other iphone users that have never had this problem, but the guy just said its normal. so i want to know of he told me the truth.

    It happens occasionally- it's happened to me once (so far) and if you search these forums you will probably find a couple of threads a day from people who have had the same thing.

  • Ipad mini and iphone no longer syncs "last page used" of my ebooks

    My ipad mini and iphone recently stopped syncing the page locations for my kindle e-books. Each time i go from one device to the other i find my book on the same page it was when i last used that device and when I tap the sync circle icon it tells me that i am "currently at the furtest location across all your devices." Not! it used to sync them but now it doesn't and I don't know why.

    Sounds like the problem is with the phone. Do a hard reset and go from there.
