myphone is acting possessed.  It is moving all of the place without anyone touching it.

Look, if you don't define what's wrong (posessed and crazy are not technical terms), then we can't help you.
You need to clearly define the problem, what you've done to troubleshoot, and what happens when you try.
If you can't do that, then just find an Apple Store and take it in so someone can actually see it in action.  We are not psychic.

  • My cursor is moving all over the place like someone else is controlling it, it has gone thru my mail and deleted everything. Sometimes it works ok, what should I look at?

    My cursor is moving all over the place and it is almost acting like someone else is controlling the track pad. When I was opening and deleting mail this morning and I stopped on an email I wanted to read it went ahead and deleted it and all the others that hadn't been opened yet.What should I look at to fix this problem, I already tookk it to a computer repair that couldn't find a virus of any sort. And, it sometimes works fine.

    Have you tried adjusting the tracking and scrolling speeds for the trackpad? You can find that in Sys Preferences.
    You may also want to reset the PRAM. To do this shutdown the machine. Hold down with your left hand the option and command keys, power the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold down the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger, so you have the option+command keys and the P and R keys held down, wait until you hear the Apple chime twice then release all keys, let the machine boot up. Try this and see if it helps. If you contiune to have this issue I would suggest taking it to the Apple store ASAP and have a Genius remedy this issue. Hope this may help.

  • My iPhone 5 has really sporadic battery percentage that jumps all over the place and every so often the phone turns off

    Hi guys!
    I'm having trouble with my iphone 5, the battery percentage jumps all over the place. It will be down at 14% and then I plug the charger in and it jumps to 50%, it jumps around without me plugging the charger in. Today it actually turned off twice and had the red icon to plug it in and when I plugged it in it had turned straight on and was at 27%.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Its really annoying because when I'm out I'm not really able to rely on the battery indicator being correct.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Hi Boris,
    That sounds really similar! I'm not sure what to so about it, I bought a mobile battery pack to charge my phone while I'm on the go as this seems to make the percentage instantly jump back up again. If I don't get any ideas on here ill probably take it in to an apple store and see if I get any joy there. I'll let u know the outcome if I do go to a store, maybe I can at least buy one at a reduced rate or something. I got my iphone 5 on the day of release so I'm outside warranty too :(

  • My macbook pro is going crazy, the mouse is moving all over the screen

    I seem to have a virus or a hacker, my cursor is moving around voluntarily, the icons are being enlarged, and I cannot control surfing my files, what should I do about it?

    Make sure that there is no Bluetooth mouse or keyboard with dying  batteries nearby.
    You have to take the computer to computer to the computer to have it checked.
    Best.

  • Why is the mainscreen/stage moving all over?

    Hello All, it's me Mr. Whinie again with yet anouther "problem"
    CP6 Mac when I duplicate an item or save, the "stage" moves to a different part of the open window, many times leaving only a small bit visible and forcing me to reposition it to see the whole screen. WHY?
    Now for those of you that have messaged me because I'm "whining too much", I have used Adobe products since 1990 and have used numerous versions of all of their programs including Director and Flash and have been a giving comminuty member helping others for pretty much all of those years.
    If you look at my posts the things that I am "whining" about are simple things that should have, IMHO, NEVER made it to a release state. The Groups, constantly expanding in the timeline, the multiple levels of "backgrounds", the seemingly extreme lack of Javascript documentation or even debugging, the inconsistant interface with other Adobe products and now the stage moving all over the place are simply things that should have been addressed.
    I have no problem paying for software, but with the new advent of "cheap" software available, when a company like Adobe charges a premium for software, then IMHO it should be EXTREMELY well tested and documented. They should also allow the purchase of a pervious version for at least 6mo. until all the kinks of the new release are worked out by those that want to fight with the newest release.
    Any insight on how I can stop the above would be welcome.
    Thanx,
    Greg

    Lieve, do you also use an external mouse? If so, you may want to consider trying to configure the laptop so that the touchpad is disabled when the mouse is present. Many laptops will allow you to do that.

  • My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything

    My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had it . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything. I am guessing they have been caused by dirt between the cover and the rear of the phone; but that is despite me cleaning the back and the inside of the back cover regularly. Has anyone else had the same?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

  • I have an iphone 3gs.  I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone.  Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails.  Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

    I have an iphone 3gs.  I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone.  Everytime I update the phone, it reloads all emails received as new unread emails.  I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all.  However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?
    Thanks

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

  • My iPad is acting like it is possessed.  It opens apps, closes them, switches to others without anyone touching it.

    Can not control, iPad.  Even types on it's own

    Hello, i have the same problem.
    I take ipad2 to the apple "genius" bar, they did re-install the iOs, even i told them that i already did, they insist that its a software problem.
    Anyway, they told me to come back if it happens again, and after a week it starts to happen again.
    a Ghost was using my Ipad, it was possessed again.
    This time apple "genius" says ok its a hardware problem, and because my device is out of warranty they offer me to switch with a new one for 299$.
    This is clearly apple's fault, not mine, and they need to atleast offer a service where they try to fix it. THREE HUNDERED DOLARS for a new one? thank you very much.
    Anyway, i am still waiting, i bought this from US, now i am in turkey, the genius that i was talking above is in US, NewYork City.
    I do not expect anything, i just want to write here to let people know that this is not ok to just ignore a faulty device even it is out of warranty and Apple doesnt care for customers.
    BTW new tablets that not apple are good too, maybe i will give them a try with 299$ that apple ask me..

  • Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
    Basically I think it needs to
    detect what word is presented under the cursor
    look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
    pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
    It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
    Do you think there is such plug-in?
    Many thanks for your help/advice here.
    Cheers
    SX

    Hi,
    When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
    Many thanks for your help/advice.

  • I left my iPhone on top of my car. At about 50mph it fell off. It had spider web cracks all over the back and a small section of the front. But it still works perfectly. Thanks for making such a tough phone!

    I found my iPhone on the side of the on-ramp thanks to "Find my iPhone". It was within 5 feet of where it had been tracked.

    I long ago gave-up on Apple Support Communities as a source of technical info, and instead drop-by from time-to-time for entertainment purposes.
    Thanks for the great story!

  • 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!
