My iPad seems like it has a virus. I rebooted it AND restored it and they did not work. What do I do now?

My iPad just starting acting strange as if someone is controlling it. It slides through screens at the home screen, it moves the screen up and down, it opens and closes albums in music, and it pulls up the keyboard and starts typing on its own in safari and brings up search items or websites. I thought iPads couldn't get viruses but this definitely seems like a virus. I rebooted it and even restored it back to factory settings and it still does it. What can I do now?

make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What to do now when my iPad won't turn on after I turn it off. It shows only the apple logo. I am sure it has above 70% charge as when I sync my iPad it shows necessary detail in iTunes. I have tried, HOME & POWER button, but did not work.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • An app continues to say "installing" when nothing is happening.  It has been several hours now.  It's only a book so should not take this long.  I have tried deleting it and that did not work.

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

    When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I brought three things rom itune but they did not work so I will like a refund

    I would like a refund because Ibrought somethings that did not work. My account was charge 2.17 and 1.05

    When you say they did not work do you mean they didn't work as you expected or they weren't downloaded to your computer? You can only get a refund in certain specific cases, if there's a problem with, say, an app, you should contact the developer's customer support, what is the specific circumstance of your purchase that didn't work?

  • HT4061 my iPad mini is asking for a pass code to open and i did not have one what are my options

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    

  • How may I get my Ipad 2 to power on? I have tried the two button approach and it did not work.

    My Ipad 2 will not power on. I have tried the two button approach but it did not work. Until last evening, the Ipad was working very well. After it entered the sleep mode, it would not come back on. What can I do?

    The first thing to suspect is a completely drained battery. When this happens the iPad shuts down and will not turn on. Even if you charge the iPad it may take more than 30 minutes before it responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug the charger into a known good wall outlet. Do not charge the iPad by connecting it to a computer. Wait 30 minutes. Then reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the iPad does not restart consider making an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My six year old set up the restrictions code on my iPad and he doesn't remember the code he used. How can I find out the code. I already tried reseting the iPad and it did not work.

    How can I retrive the passcode for Restrictions? I already tried reseting my iPad to factory settings but did not work.

    I believe there is a way to reset the settings only, but I'm not sure if that applies to restrictions. Maybe there is a way on the computer?

  • HT1689 I have downloaded 4 books in the last 2  days and they did not load to my iPad.  What can I do?

    I have downloaded 4  books from iTunes in thee last two days and they do not appear on my iPad.   Also I have  multiple copies of all my books. How do I delete them?

    Is this in safari?
    try going into settings, safari and clear history. You may also want to clear cookies (means you will need to sign back into sites)
    It's possible that that page is a popup ad of some sort that can't run, for example a flash based ad.  You may have picked the cookie up browsing the internet and now that it's in there the only way to get rid of it is to clear your history and cookies.

  • Why the iPad became blank black when I syn with itunes and it did not work again?

    Why the ipad became blank black when I syn it with itunes of the desk top.  It did not work since then.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I sent my ipad to a company for repair (over 6 weeks ago) and they are not returning my calls or emails. What should i do?

    Hi,
    I sent my ipad to a company for repair.
    They posted it back and had not repaired it, they asked me to send it back so they could repair...again.
    I have had a couple of emails saying it cant be fixed and they would return it to me, this has not happened.
    Everytime i phone the company they take my number and never call me back.
    The pad can no longer be tracked on find my ipad.
    They have emailed me saying they dont have any information for me.
    What can i do?

    That would be a matter for local authorities - small claims court, a lawyer, whatever. You have to follow up and stay on them and get whoever you need to get involved in the matter that can provide help. Depending upon where you live (if in the U.S.) maybe even the Better Business Bureau - or any local watchdog group that helps in cases like this.
    I don't know where you live, but in my town, I would contact the district court or magistrate and ask for his advice. There is nothing that anyone here can do foryou  and Apple would be of no help either. This is not their responsibility.
