Why does my ipad 2 randomly click on everything?
I got an ipad 2 for christmas and it worked properly for about a week, after that week it started clicking randomly on apps without me being anywhere near it, it randomly clicks on letters when i am trying to type, it returns back to the homepage when i want to go on something. It started off being once in a while, but now its everytime i switch the ipad on, sometimes i cant use anything on there at all. I had to fill out a request form and i couldnt even get the serial number off as it kept clicking off and clicking onto whatever else it wants. I have not damaged the ipad at all, iv'e kept it safe at all times, yet it does this?
can someone let me know why its doing this and if there is a way of fixing it??
thanks,
Katy.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Why does my IPad Mini randomly play music while i play games
Random music plays while I play games. Does this happen to anyone else?
Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.

Why does my iPad reset randomly
My iPad 1 resets spontaneously every 3-4 minutes. How do I fix this?
Sounds like it is crashing. Try resetting it your self by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears.

Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?
Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?
It happens when I am trying to write emails, enter username or password info. If a backspace to delete, often other numbers or letters appear. In playing words with friends, the letters I am trying to place end up all over the board--do not go where I want them to. My screens become "shakey" and if I shut down it usually corrects it--but not always. The iPad 2 is less than a year old. Might have to make an appt. at an Apple store unless you have another suggestion. Thanks

Why does my Ipad start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own frequently?
Why does my Ipad suddenly start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own? It's like it spazzes out rather frequently for no apparent reson.
It's hard to say why, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. See if this stops it.

why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:
Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW .... Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK. -
Why does my iPad shut down randomly
Why does my iPad shut down randomly
Generally? it's like when a computer crashes. the operating system gets over whelmed and shuts down or reboots.
Sometimes it's not that big of a deal, other times it may be caused by an app with a glitch or error. Sometimes your iPad is fine, but the app has an error in it.
One thing to do is to do a reset. hold down the sleep and home button for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let it reboot. Often if there's any sort of glitch or 'oops' the reset and reboot will allow the iPad's memory to clear and resolve the issue. -

Why does my iPad no longer display email messages?
My iPad suddenly stopped showing the body of emails, both for my iCloud account and for my Google mail account. I discovered that if I click to either reply or forward a message a truncated version of it appears with no attachments or graphics. I didn't change any settings or anything before it happened. What do I do to get the body of email messages to show up again?

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?
Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?
It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

Why does my iPad ask me for my Apple password everytime I open it up? I have my Itues password entered in SETTINGS.
When I log on, my screen is enlarging itself and the items on the top and bottom get pushed out of screenn view....I have to move the screen up/down, right left to access some icons?It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there. -
