Touchscreen stops working within an app

I've only owned my iPad for a few days, but this keeps happening, usually in the App Store, but sometimes other apps.
After a while, some (not all) of the touchscreen buttons in an application stop responding. I can remedy this by forcibly closing the app (ie double tap home button, hold down the app icon, and tapping the cross to close it).
I never had this problem with the iPhone. Is it a known issue to the iPad / iOS 5.0.1?

No it is not a known problem on the iPad.
Have you tried either of these basic troubleshooting steps? Sometimes all it takes is a reboot and things will go back to normal.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

My pavilion touchsmart all in one pc touchscreen stopped working

I had my sister and nieces over today and to keep the kids occupied we brought up the freshpaint app. We left the room for a few seconds and when we came back in the touch screen stopped working. I went into my system info and it said that pen and touch is not available for my computer even though it was in use just 5 minutes ago. Is there a way to toggle this feature?

Lenovo Flex 10 touchscreen stops working after 1 hour of use.

Just bought a new Lenovo Flex 10 from a retail and it works perfectly except that after an hour of use the touchscreen stops working, the computer still works ok, but only with the mousepad. The notebook came with Windows 8.1, and I haven't installed any program on it. I need an urgent response please, since i've been looking for days in the community and other support pages, and still can't get a satisfactory answer and the period to get the a refund are about to expire.
Thanks in advance.

hi riglesias,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Once the Touchscreen stops responding, can you check the following:
1. Open System Properties and see if the Touch functionality is still there
- Link to picture (Touchscreen feature is not detected)
- Link to picture (Touchscreen feature is detected)
If the Touchscreen feature is detected, proceed to Step 2.
2. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, navigate to the Human Interface Devices section and uninstall anything that says HID-compliant device (this is the driver that controls the touchscreen). When finished, reboot the system and observe.
3. If the Touchscreen is still not working, hold the Shift Key and hit the restart button inside Windows and you should be able to see the image below then try to tap on the screen to test and observe. I
If the touch capability is still not functioning, I recommend you contact lenovo for service.

The screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use

G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use or at rest check setting power bios updated late;s driver ver.?

Hi @rimesci ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!
I understand that when you start your notebook the keyboard works for approximately 15 minutes and then stops responding.
You have checked the power settings, updated the bios and drivers but it still persists.
It sounds as if you have a conflict somewhere. The keyboard works OK and then something kicks in and keyboard stops.
I would try a clean boot to try and locate the issue. Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or p... (from support.microsoft.com)
If this has not located the issue, do you feel any overheating on the unit?
If the issue persists, you can try a restore back to before this issue occurred. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If that did not work or is not a possibility, I would do a recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery process you will receive an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.
If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.

Yesterday after upgrading the Cisco AnyConnect app, it stopped working; Today, the app is not available anymore from the apple store, what happened?

There is an explanation in the following link in the section "What's new in version 3.0.09440" that there was a problem with the update. It's available again now. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cisco-anyconnect/id392790924?mt=8

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

The solution is :
1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
2. Run
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
5. Restart

Why does my touchscreen stop working?

I have an all-in-one computer (HP Pavilion 23-h017c TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR) )that I purchased just about a month ago. I have noticed that every other day my touchscreen stops working all together, nothing I do will fix it. Finally I just shut my computer down, waited a sec, and turned it back on. Once I did that my touchscreen started working just fine. If I just restart the computer my touchscreen still doesn't work - I have to shut it down.
My question is: Why does it stop working all of a sudden? This is driving me mad, I've never shut my computer down so many times before!!

I had the exact same problem. I had my HP Pavillion for less than a month when the screen stopped working all together. At first the screen would just shut off or not turn on when I tried to power up my laptop. It eventually stopped working all together. I had to wait 30 minutes on the phone for a customer service rep to tell me "press the power button" over and over again. Then I had to wait four days for HP to send me a box and then a week for HP to receive my laptop. I just found out after waiting on the phone for 45 minutes that it will take another month to receive my laptop. HP should recall HP Pavillions. They suck! The worst part of my customer service experience is they said they might not even send me anoher Pavillion. Apparently they are going to send me whatever is in their stock that has the same specifications as the Pavillion. I can honestly say the BIGGEST MISTAKE I ever made in my life was buying an HP product. HP SHOULD SERIOUSLY RECALL HP PAVILLIONS. Clearly they aren't working properly. No laptop should crap out after less than a month of use.

Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas?

Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas? I should probaly also add that I have also recently tried to download a screen recorder from safari and a message keeps popping up and saying that it can't verify server, even for this website

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
Files cannot be downloaded from Safari on an iPod touch.

Touchscreen stopped working & can't connect to iTunes

So my iPad's touchscreen stopped working. I could turn it on but wasn't able to enter my passcode. So I held the home & power buttons to reset it. When it booted up, it says it needs to be connected to iTunes. I plug it in to my computer and iTunes says "You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes." But my iPad won't let me type in my passcode (it's just showing the iTunes image with an arrow and a USB cord), and even if it gave me the passcode screen, I'm not sure the touchscreen even works. Help?

Nevermind, I'm doing a restore of the iPad. Thanks.

I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working.

I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working. After drying it out for a few days I had the LCD replaced, but the touchscreen is still not working. What do I do?

Why don't you ask that question of the person who performed the uncertified service?

Truevision HP touchscreen stopped working

My HP Truevision HD touchscreen stopped working yesterday morning. LAptop was not dropped or moved. I ran the diagnositc tests I could find but no errors. Any ideas?

Hello @alantaub1 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand TrueVision has stopped working on your computer. To assist you, please provide the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system. (Make sure to include whether it's 32 or 64 bit.)
3. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
