Screen unresponsive when tapping.

I have been having an issue with my iPad Air ever since installing ios8. When Searching Google or any other search engine on Safari, the search results return, but tapping on them does nothing. I have to refresh the page and tap again. Also, sometimes the search comes back as a white screen until I touch it, which then makes the search results appear. I have similar screen response issues with YouTube. Trying to scrub through video is next to impossible. It takes about ten tries to grab the play head. I have done all the usual restarts and the network has been confirmed good by provider. Any thoughts?

Steinfeather, I am having literally the same problems exactly how you described them. I literally found this thread via google search, and only after all page results populated and 15-20 seconds of tapping the link with no response it finally woke up and started to load. The same is true for typing in my experience. I use my iPad Air for work more often than I should admit, so normally I fly through sentences, paragraphs, emails, copy&paste, text selection, etc. However, since The iOS 8 debacle I have trained my hands to move in slow motion to give this thing time to register and not lock up or lag. Copy and paste including selecting text is all buggy and inaccurate. Honestly, it makes this device a test of patience and endurance....long gone are the pleasures of the iPad Air. Things I tried: (i.) home+reset holding reboot until Apple logo appears (maybe 20+ times per day), deleted tons of apps and freed 70% of memory space, closed all apps, alternating DNS servers (router and device settings) and several router configs, no luck. As you may see this is my first post ever on Apple's thread messaging despite recent software fumblings which have us conditioned to expect unpolished fuctionality, not me. I am done....Samsung Tab with Saturday delivery tomorrow! Seems no one can fix this.

E7 - screen unresponsive when charging

The touchscreen on my E7 becomes unresponsive while charging. Essentially it seems to be losing it's accuracy. It stilll works somewhat but you have to tap all over the screen to get a response, and then it's not the one you want.
I noticed the same on a friend's C7. Anyone else noticed the same.
Nokia:
Any help (though no one from Nokia will ever reply anyway...)
P!
My Nokia history:
2110 => 6110 => 8110 => 6310 => 2300 => 2600 => 6070 => E71 => N97 Mini => E72 => C7 => E7 => E6 => 700
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Does this occur when connected to a mains charger, a computer or both ? I tend to get a little slowing down (not innaccuracy) when connected to computer via usb, but no change when connected to mains, can only assume there is some processing going on whilst connected to computer ! It's not somethying I've noticed before, just tried it after reading your post, so I obviously don't see it as a major issue, and this is the first post I've seen on theis subject !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Ihpone 5 Touch screen unresponsive when charging

I noticed my screen became Unresponsive and behaving erratically while it was charging. The charger is an Apple OEM charger. If I unplug it from the phone the screen begins to work normally again.

Hi guys. I was having the same problem. Found this one another thread.
"Update: after my second iPhone 5 immediately had the same problem, again only when charging, I called Apple back. I had been using a third party USB wall plug and they recommended using the factory wall plug. No issues what-so- ever after the switch. They even told me to stop into my local store and they'd swap my third party adapter out with another Apple adapter at no charge. I'm very satisfied."
I'm using a 3rd party plug in b/c I lost my one from Apple. Haven't swapped yet, but it sounds like this might be the problem.

Reset, hold at same time Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself. If you have a screen protector on, consider removing it.

Often a Restart and a Reset will resolve these issues...
iPhone Reset

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Ipod Touch unresponsive to tap in final selection of an app.

I search for an app, find and select it, and take it to final step where you normally depress the 'free' 'button' to right of full page app description and nothing happens. System acts like normal until final screen when tap is unresponsive. Any idea if I can do something on my own system setup to correct or is this an Apple Store issue?

If you look around on this forum, you will see that many others are having the same problem since 12/16 or 12/17. My original iPhone running iOS 3.1.3 is one. In addition to the problem with the "Free" and "$x.xx" buttons not working, there are other more minor issues, such as the images of apps under the description no longer allow the user to scroll to the right, and the "Tell a friend" button near the bottom doesn't work, either.
It has been suggested under other threads that Apple is discontinuing support of these older devices, but I haven't seen anything official yet. I have been e-mailing Apple (through their "Express Lane"), but they haven't been very helpful yet. :-(

Why does the screen unlock when using voice dialer on iphone 5S?

Here's the scenario I'm referring to: my iphone is in my pocket with the screen locked and headphones plugged in. I toggle the mic switch and use voice control to place a phone call. On every other iphone I have owned, the screen stays locked. On the 5S, the screen unlocks when the call begins, making the end call button or other phone buttons able to be activated accidentally by my leg.
Why did they change this feature on the 5S? The iphone 5 stays locked in the same scenario. Just updated to 7.0.4 and it still hasn't been fixed. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

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

Hi Genoc728,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive and can't be turned off, you can reset it. See this article for the steps, and other helpful troubleshooting tips for an unresponsive device:

Lock screen unresponsive/stuck, needs restart

My Passport is set to Auto Lock after 1min. Most of the time Locking/unlocking works fine, sometimes the swipe-up gesture does not work and it does not bring back the password entry screen. Only option is to restart the phone. I have seen this happen atleast once every 3 days, and is more likely to happen the device is in pocket and has 3 accidental attempts to unlock. When this happens I either can't get the password screen, or when I do get the password screen, I can't enter "blackberry" keyword.

Perhaps too obvious, but did you try the power button at the top? Sometimes the swipe up doesn't work for me and I just tap the top button.It may be that you are seeing a bug in combination with the Advanced Interactions feature. Try different settings, though not all at once. Run in each configuration until something happens, or you're pretty sure nothing happens. Intermittent issues like this are really hard to diagnose properly.

How To Stop Screen Rotating When Tilting

That's the question...
How Do I Stop The Screen Rotating When Tilting? Drives me nuts!

Try double clicking the Home button and on the bottom row of the screen go completly to the left past the mucic control and tap on the circle arrow. That will lock the screen rotation. This works for the 3 and 4 G iPods. There is no rotation lock for the earlier iPods.
