Something is controlling my iPad mini

I Have an iPad mini and it has been what appears to be randomly searching and displaying previous searches in  safari, then playing you tube videos while I am absent, going through and opening all my apps in sequence. All with no input from me. This appears to have started since i upgraded to 7.0.3 (11B511) does this have anything to do with the new ability to recognize a non apple supported power supply as it only seems to happen on a 3 third party dock since I loaded new system

Hi there, I just started getting these problems as well in the past few days. Did not even use any third party lightning connector but suddenly apps started crashing (even Apple ones like iBooks). Pages started turning on its own and then it takes over completely. Opening and closing other apps and typing URLs in Safari, pulling down notification center menus, pulling up control center menus, etc. it's a nightmare!
After resetting as you advised as well, it will be normal for a while before the whole 'performance' starts up again. It's mighty frustrating! I just wanna read and this is really irking me.
What should I do next? Seriously?

  • Parental controls video -iPad Mini

    Any way to control access to movies via the video app?
    Looking to control what can be seen and can't find it in itunes or in the restrictions area of the iPad mini
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the iPad mini comes with a good number of parental controls, officially called 'Restrictions'. You can turn off the App Store, allow or disallow the App Store, set content restrictions on iTunes, etc. See this tutorial for step-by-step instructions:
    How To Setup Parental Controls On The iPad
    You could also turn off Safari and setup a Safe Browser (like the one from Mobicip) that would allow you to set rules for internet usage, including the ability to set time limits. Hope this helps.

  • IPad Mini Retina acts buggy w/ enclosed 10W charger ?

    My new 16G iPad Mini Retina 4GLTE came with a 10W charger. But as soon as you plug in the charger (I use an electrical outlet and NOT a computer) the iPad starts acting buggy; it will continuously blink and beep on and off-- the same as usual if the iPad has just been plugged in to charge, but it will blink off immediately and then blink/beep on and off again continuously until it's unplugged.
    It's hard to say whether the iPad battery is actually charging in this state, because I unplug it right away from being freaked out. I do not see the little "lightning" charge icon next to the battery indicator though, so I doubt it.
    Other 10W adapters from older iPads which have worked perfectly fine before, behave exactly the same way when plugged into the Mini. Thankfully, I have a 5W charger from an iPhone5, and that seems to do the trick.
    But what if I didn't have a 5W charger? Is there a fix for this? Shouldn't a 10W charger work fine? Is there something wrong with my iPad Mini Retina?

    Is this an Apple charger? Presumably yes.
    The Apple 10W charger should work fine with the iPad Mini Retina.
    There could be a problem with the Retina iPad Mini.
    If this problem occurs regularly take it and the charger to an Apple Store for evalution or contact Apple Support.

  • I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.  I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

    I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
    I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.  The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls.  PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
    iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews.  I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
    I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV.  I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
    Am I out of luck?

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • IPad Mini controls itself

    This is my second iPad Mini. The first one started typing by itself and furiosly controlling itself making it impossible to use. Still under warranty I got a replacement.
    The second one, acquired also brand new from an Apple store is doing the same thing after about 8 months. Has anyone been having this problem lately? Perhaps this is something that Apple must seriously look into.

    I've had that same problem the last couple of days. Question: Did you turn on the "reduce motion" feature? I turned it on the other day, I just turned it off and so far so good. I by no means am sure this will solve it.

  • IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

    While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
    The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
    Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
    This is repeatable too. 
    SUMMARY:
    1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
    2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
    3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
    4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
    Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
    iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
    Any suggestions?  Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing?  Or a simple setting on the unit?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
    You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

  • Ipad Mini automatically changing apps and no control

    one year old ipad mini, when using it automatically open up some random apps or goes to application store or will open something else and i cant stop it or pause. when checked in apple service centre in Trivandrum, they told its screen gone and need replacement but it is not available in india as it is out of country set. any solution can be suggested?  after switching on few min it will work fine later only all such issues happens.

    You may have many apps open. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

    If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.
