Why does my ipad do stuff by itself without me touching it?
My ipad is like having 'seizures', only when i plug in the charger which is weird because i've never had any problems with the charger. And its the same charger that came with the ipad.
If this only occurs on your charger, try and borrow another charger to see if that eliminates the problem. If it does not, or you cannot borrow another charger take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing. A charger that is failing in that way can cause damage to the system and needs to be checked by the techs.

Why does my ipad mini keep restarting itself?
I bought an ipad mini in Feb, 2013 and until 2 weeks ago it has been working like a charm. Now my ipad mini restarts on its own without my consent. I have witnessed it restart when i have been reading books from ibooks, when opening programs, when listening to music and a few times when it hasn't been in use just sitting on the bench in screen saver mode. Yesterday i plugged the mini into my laptop and determined that i am currently using the most up to date software and that ensured i had saved a back up on the icoud and my computer. Finally i went trhough itunes to restore my ipad to is factory settings. This was completed this morning without a glitch only to find some 10 hours later my ipad is continueing to restart without any warning. Help!!
Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Why does my iPad 2 go by itself
I have an iPad 2 64gb that will be 2 years old on December 23, 2013 and It works all by itself. Example when I'm trying to google it types by itself. Another example it automatically opens icons and once on a sight it magnifies and go onto the next page all by itself. Please advise and if anyone would know the approximate cost to fix it. Thx.
Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

my ipad os 5.1.1 first ipad ever 64 gb will not let me use any function when turned horizontally it works fine when in vertical position any suggestions?
These are the instructions for that specific code.
Error 40265xxxx: Errors of the 40265xxxx range generally occur during the restore-from-a-backup phase, after iOS has been installed on the device. Restoring the device and setting up as new can resolve the issue. Before restoring as new, take steps to preserve the previous backups created by iTunes, such as copying the contents of the Backup directory onto the desktop. See iPhone and iPod touch: About backups to learn where backups are stored for your computer's operating system and additional precautionary notes regarding setting up as new. The backups created by iTunes store data such as your SMS, Favorites, Bookmarks, and other app data.
Taken from this support site.

I think you are going to have to restore as new. Deleting that MobileSync backup folder may have caused the problem. When you delete the backup from iTunes like I was asking about, you are only deleting one particular backup. If you have multiple iDevices - all of the backups would be in that one folder - I think that's how it works.
Read the article - even though the heart and soul of it has been pasted into this link already. -
Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?
Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?
Hello!
The same happened to my yesterday night when I was charging my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. My first impression was that could it be and auto update (to install iOS 6.1.2) however I'm still on 6.1.
It erased ALL my info and shows the initial configuration wizard......this is totally a mega ***!!!!!! -
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. -
HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter
Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?
I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

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. -

Hi, I wanted to chime in here as I've got the same issue.
Every few minutes when Ipad is off (magnetic cover closed) it emits a beep, the beep is a different sound to the sounds set for specific notification (in settings>general>sounds). No new notifications appear, nothing happens to the Ipad itself.
I know its not new e-mail as I haven't set up the facility to receive e-mail on my Ipad yet. Similarly I've no calender notifications (or anything else) set.
There are no beeps when the screen is lit up and the Ipad is in use, only when its 'asleep'. I'm not certain but I think the beeps only occur after the Ipad has been out of use for a little while - need to test this but while I've been sitting here typing this with the cover open (but screen asleep) its been silent.
Mine did that when I first got it on Friday. I finally realized that notifications were coming through because even though it was asleep, I had left WiFi on. As soon as I starting either turning WiFi off when I was finished with it or put it in Airplane Mode, the little beeps stopped. I thought I was hearing things..........LMAO!! When you have a lot of devices that give notification sounds, it takes awhile to figure out which one is beeping at you!!! I do think most of mine were from email, though. -

Why does my iPad act funny when its cold. Types by itself, moves up and down the page by itself, all finds of wild things.

why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
i don't know why...Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
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.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff. -

You need to provide more detail. What do you mean by "a long time?" Are you charging it plugged into a wall socket?

Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top? I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop. I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL. It is WIFI and internet via AT&T? Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings??? Thank you very much!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter. -
