Since ios8 my ipad mini has a mind of it's own

I have an iPad mini (14 months old). downloaded the ios8 software on the weekend and since then my iPad is acting on it's own ie
- changing apps
- inserting characters
-creating new web pages
- at one stage I couldn't log in as when I entered a 4 for example it highlighted a 7 or sometimes three &'s
Phoned apple who told me to reinstall the software by linking to itunes. Backed the data up and did a full restore.
The iPad behaved for less than 24hrs and has started it's tricks again.
Very frustrated and how typical I am 2 months out of the warranty period.
Can someone offer some sound advice please.
Thanks

Probably you would not want to restore it from a backup, but set it up as a new device. You can re-download your iTunes purchases (apps, music, movies, etc.), and then manually set up your email, iCloud, etc. But it may be something on the backup itself that is the issue. So, restoring from a backup would just put you in the same boat.
Also, I think a trip to the Apple Store with both devices would be a good idea. They may be able to sort it right away. Sometimes it's easier to effectively troubleshoot an issue when you have a device in front of you.
Any chance you have any 3rd party apps (apps not from the App Store) on the device? These could also cause issues.
Cheers,

  • HT201304 My iPad mini has my Apple account info on my general settings but a different different apple account in the App Store ,how can I change that?

    Please help! My iPad mini has two different apple ids. My Apple ID in the general settings part and my family's id in the App Store. I need to fix it so that it's just one Apple ID and one password.

  • If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

    If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

    Wrong on all counts. Well except for the A5 post.
    The 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 4s both have an Audience chipset for noise suppression/voice recognition that the iPad 2 et. al. do not have. The iPhone 5, 5th Generation iPod Touch, 4th Generation iPad and iPad Mini are using a different type of hardware based noise suppression/voice recognition that is an improvement over the Audience chipset (hope you didn't have Audience stock).

    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

    my ipada mini has over heated and its not starting

    What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My ipad mini has many emails which say 'no content' and are not deletable.  What are they are how do I delete them?

    My ipad mini has many emails which say they have no content and I cannot delete them.  The emails do not show up on my MacBook Air.  What are they and how do I get rid of them? 

    Close the mail app and reset the iPad. Closing apps instructions are for iOS 7. If you're not running iOS 7, I assume that you know how to close apps in iOS 5 or 6. If you don't know how to close apps, just reset the iPad.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked Settings>General>Restrictions? Have you done a Spotlight search for it? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • Ipad Mini has started zooming and opening apps on its own

    Ipad Mini has started zooming in and out and opening apps on its own.  I have gotten back to factory settings and it is still happening.  Help!!

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    Looks like the computer is restoring your iPad.
    Suggest you do not disconnnect iPad until computer say that the sync is completed.
    After that try to reset by press the Sleep and Home button until you see the Apple Logo.
    There is a possibility that there's a problem with your iPad screen.
