N9 randomly, spontaneously opens apps on its own

Hey There,
So every now and then, my N9 randomly and completely spontaneously just opens and closes apps and functions of the phone completely on its own. This doesn't ALWAYS happen, mostly occurs for a few days at a time, every now and then, but it makes it almost impossible to use the phone at times.
Some examples of this problem are...
swipe and unlock phone, try to open internet(or any other app) and completely different apps open instead, sometimes even run themselves.
I was also in a phone call the other day, and the hold and mute functions operated rapidly and randomly mid-call.
If anyone can help me in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

<body><p>Sounds like a faulty touch screen layer, have seen similar activity on my friend's phone, his phone is not N9 though. Take it Nokia care point and show them when the screen goes crazy, no choice when it happens randomly would be easy to explain if it happens in front of them.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

ITunes 11.0.1 keeps opening up on its own.

Hi all. I have Win 7 64 bit. I have disabled wifi synch I beleive as well as home sharing. Would appreciate any help from anyone as its driving me nuts.
iTunes will invariably open up on its own no matter what I am doing. if I close it, then in 15 mins or so will do it again.
I've learned to just keep it open as a stop-gap measure but hope someone can offer some advice.
Thanks

Woohoo !
It's nothing to worry about and it's certainly not a virus (there aren't any that affect Macs) - it's the icon from an application in your Utilities folder called X11. You can safely click on it, drag it off the dock and it will disappear in a puff of smoke. If it has a a little blue blob under it it means that the app is open so click and hold the icon on the dock and select quit and then drag it off the dock.
It's also worth looking in System Preferences>Users & Groups (if you're on Lion) Accounts (if you're Leopard/Snow Leopard) and click on the Login items tab and check X11 isn't listed. If it is, click on the minus sign to remove it from startup items.
Not sure what X11 is for, I've never used it, but I think it might be something to do with programming (probably wrong though )
Edited to add: Looking at your pic again it has got a blob under it so I reckon it's launching at startup, so do as I suggest with login items or click and hold the icon on the dock and deselect 'Open at Login' under 'Options'.

IPad mini is flicking in and out of apps on its own. What can I do

My iPad mini is jumping in and out of apps on its own. Or when I'm in one and try to close it goes to home screen and app is jiggling then it reopens not closing. Then will start just opening programs at will

It's usually just a problem when the app crashes and then you tap it again and then it closes and opens again, it will usually stop after a few times. If this is happening while you are in an app and it crashes and does that, it's no problem, just wait a couple of seconds and play the app again, nothing will happen. It's no biggie, don't even sweat it, it rarely happens. Besides, it's happened to me too, it does no damage to your IPad mini.

Why is 11.1.3 opening all on its own?

The app is opening randomly on its own and even after I close the app and force close it in some instances, it continuously opens and I can't accomplish a thing as it starts playing music...and randomly starts and stops the song. It is very weird and annoying. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a ton!

my iTunes has stopped the annoying issue... but I have no idea how I stopped it. I think, after I downloaded iTunes from the App store again - it took another 2 days and rectified itself. Sorry I can't be of help and hope you all manage to have this issue resolved.

Help: I can not control my laptop random things opening and changing; its like someone else is controlling it!!

About a week ago, my laptop starting having a mind of its own. First the trackpad stopped working properly as it wouldn't move across the desktop or the cursor would show up at random places or would be really slow. Then a few days later, I would be typing in pages and all of a sudden iphoto would open or some other random program. At times, the computer will be fine, at other times, it just randomly open and closes different programs, opens the dashboard, or I could be typing and all of a sudden its starts typing at a random place 4 paragpahs previously or it opens up firefox and starts typing there. It is driving me crazy!! I use my laptop for work and planning as I am a teacher but its getting to the point that I do not want to use it all.
Just as i was typing this, iphoto opened, it opened another tab in my browser, it scrolled down to the bottom of my page and it continued my typing in the middle of the paragpah above!!
Please, can someone help! Its like someone has taken over my computer.

You will have to forgive me as I am not very computer literate.
I have been using Macs for years and have had OS X for a while and never had an issue until the past week.
A few comments/questions/responses for you:
Are you saying that if I am typing a document in Pages, it is possible for any program in the dock to open at the same time as I am typing without me going to the dock itself? Or if I am loooking at a certain site, another random site can open easily?
I turned off my internet connection and there were no irrational movements. I also went into the activity monitor/network. With the internet off, their was still data being sent and received?? And there were spikes being seen even though the internet was off, does this sound correct? As I am typing now, there are consistent high spikes being received and low sporadic spikes for data being sent. Peak is 10 KB/sec. How do I investiate a spike?
I also just had 2 other people work on my computer to see if it is just me, but they had similar issues.
Thanks for your response, hopefully we can get this figured out, as I live 8 hours away from a Mac store or help centre. I will also download that virus package.
Thanks!!

My iMac has been acting sluggishly; taking unusually long to recover from sleep mode as well as it arbitrarily opening an app on its own. What is going on and can it be corrected?

My iMac has begun to act suggishly and unpredictably lately. It takes unusually long for it to wake from sleep mode and often opens with a particular app (PSE) for no reason. What is going on? Is there a clean-up procedure(s) in addition to clearing history & cookies or perhaps a upgrade I missed?

When i open apps sometime its pop out to the main page

hi...sometimes when i open an apps its just pop right out. lately i open my camera apps just about to took a photo its pop out again??...i wan to know can it be fix??

Try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If the Mail app still doesn't work after the iPad has restarted then try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

FCP won't open one of its own files.

Hi, everyone.
I have an fcp project that I need to update and modify. I tried opening it, and I got "File Error: Wrong Type". I read this previous post...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8398246&#8398246
...and followed its suggestions. I quit fcp, and tried to open the file again (without the application already being opened). No luck.
Also as suggested, I saved the project file as a txt document, then change it back to an fcp document and open that. No luck again. I get "Unable to open project file".
These remedies worked for the original poster in the discussion, but they haven't worked for me. Anyone have any other ideas?
By the way, this project was created in 2006 on this computer that I'm still using, and with this version of FCP that I'm using -- so I can't fathom why it won't open.
Thanks!

do you want to send me the file and I'll see if I can open it. My email is in my profile. Please "compress" the file before attaching to email

Acrobat 9 Pro possessed, opening docs on its own. What do I do?

I scanned a document and printed to Adobe Acrobat. This opened the Acrobat
program. At some point, either when I was last in Acrobat or today when I told
the program to print to Acrobat, Acrobat seems to think I want several hundred
files opened at once, and proceeds to do so. They seem to be randomly selected
from my collection of PDF docs. I eventually get an error message saying I've
opened too many, please close some. I click ok and absolutely nothing happens
(as far as I can tell). As long as the error message is up I can't close the open docs (but again, OK does nothing).
When I go to the toolbar, all options are grayed out.
The only thing I can do is Force Quit, but when I re-open the same thing happens
all over again (it appears that the same docs are opening, in the same order).
Can anyone tell me how to stop this demon-possession and prevent it from
happening in the future?
With gratitude,
Heidi

Ios 7.4 nightmares. When idle and charging my screens move on their own, types jibberish on its own and sends the jibberish as a text message to random callers, changes sounds on its own. And that's not all!!!

The ios7.04 download for my iphone 4s has tuned the phone into a nightmare. Battery charging time is 3x what it used to be, battery drains after 4 hours whether I talking or phone is idle. I can no longer hear the phone when it rings. Here is the dealbreaker:When idle, untouched and charging the screens move on their own, type jibberish on their own and send the jibberish via text to a random selection of my contacts. The phone is charging now and I am watching the screen move to the alarm stopwatch screen. It From there is has moved to the Sounds screen and has changed my ring tone twice. (It plays the tones as well.). My hands are not on the phone at the time and the homescreen is visible when charging begins. I have turned off so many components of the phone that there is simply no longer any reason to walk around with what has become a functionless burden. The most obvious solution is to say goodbye to Apple and go back to the brand I was using before. Thought I's give this forum one last shot. For the life of me I can not understand why so many of us have so many complaints about our devices yet no one takes the path of least resistance...which is to simply switch to a brand that is reliable. I never had any problems with a cell phone until I switched to Apple.

Thank you. I called my carrier and told them that the i704 os made my phone unusable and that the support in the forums is populated by children like yourself who make nasty comments and provide no support, I was released from my contract. Free at last from rotten Apple and shmucks like you.

How do I get my iPhone to stop turning on cellular data for apps on its own?

I have tried resetting on the iphone and resetting all settings. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only improvement is that my iphone stopped turning on cellular data for other apps but now, interestingly, it's turning on cellular data for all apple designed apps,e.g. Pages, App Store, Itunes Store, Facetime, Contacts, Calendar, Mail etc. Everytime I try to turn them off, it doesn't work. Please Help!!
P.S. My phone is running ios7.

Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.
