Why does my touch do completely random things when im not even touching it?

I just got a new 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch that is really bugging me. It doesn't respond to what i tell it to do and does random things when im not even using it. Like if i set it down on my desk and just look at it without touching it, it might randomly go to the stock page, or go to contacts and start typing in gibberish, or go to settings, etc. It just does things and only sometimes responds to my touch...do i have a defective touch??

Telekenesis?
Seriously, though, with spurious input like this and incorrect input when you do touch the screen, it sounds as if the screen may have a problem. I presume you have no protective covering on the screen?
It sounds as if the input may actually be delayed for far longer than it should. Is there any recent app install that may affect this? Have you tried the obvious restart, reset processes? If so, and this is still incorrect, off to the shop with it.

  • Refresh DSV - why does it keep indicating it "Added" things, when its already been done? (repost from DW forum)

    There were a number of changes done and earlier I had used the "refresh" button in the DSV view, and the updates were reflected in the DSV.  Now, however everything should be updates, yet when I hit refresh, the dialog still comes up and list
    all the changes it did earlier as "Added".  What is going on here?
    Now however, all my tables, dimensions, relations etc are setup with no errors and the cube builds, processes and deploys without any errors, yet if I refresh the DSV, I still get the dialog that displays all the things that it "sees" as "Added".
     This is even after closing down BIDS and re-opening.
    Also, I wonder if this has something to do this this thread, since its concerning the DSV getting "confused"

    Hi Shiftbit,
    According to your description, you need to know why the dialog still comes up and list all the changes it did earlier as "Added" when there is nothing changed in the data source view, right?
    I have tested it on my local environment. We use the sample project AdventureWorks, we didn't make any modification on the DSV and click the Refresh button, and all the changes were list on Refresh Data Source View dialog. So as per my understanding, this
    is default settings. If we click the button, it will list all the changes from the date when you create this project.

    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...

  • Why does my 8250 pixma printer randomly show up as "not connected"?? using BT wifi homehub router with my retina pro (mountain lion)

    am getting fed up with having to reboot router and or printer everytime I want to print!!
    printer clearly is connected as it shows up in the system but only by rebooting everything will it start up and print
    beleive it might be firewall related ??
    any pointers gratefully appreciated

    Well IMHO any product that has the Norton name on it will never ever be installed on any of my computers, Mac or PC. Some say the newest versions of Norton sftware is not like it was only a few years ago. that being the biggest Resource Hog ever written.
    But in the end you really don't need that software on your Mac at all. Personally I don't run any Anti Whatever software on any of my computers, Mac or PC, and Have Never Been Infected with Anything.
    So I suggest the first thing you do is uninstall that Norton POS software then test. I hope that clears it up. If not you are back to OS X losing the connection between the computer and rinter on your network.
    One thing you should look at is giving the printer a full time Static IP address and or locking in a DHCP allocated IP address by setting your router to always assign that IP to the printer and that is done by the printer MAC address (That is Media Access Control address not a Mac computer address) that is IF your router has that feature.

  • HT1539 Why does it hours to complete "processing file" when completing a digital copy transfer to itunes?

    I'm trying to transfer the digital copy for Skyfall on to my computer and it seems stunk on "processing file".  I have had this same screen up for 3 hours now.  How and when does this process finish?

    That's simple, just go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Uncheck Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.

    My IPad is at 92% and I plug it in and it says fully charged but its not. Should I get it looked at ?

    The battery meter is really just an estimate
    However, you can calibrate it
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on!! the apple logo appears for five seconds and then it goes to a black screen and it has been repeating this when im not even touching it!! help!!

    my ipod touch wont turn on! i pressed the power button and the white apple logo appeared for five seconds and went to a black screen, and then back to the logo for 5 secs and back to the black screen for 5 secs. im not touching my ipod and it is still doing this. i did leave it onover night to update ios, is this why??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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

  • TS1559 Why does Safari kick me out randomly?

    Why does Safari kick me out randomly?

    That happens sometimes.
    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The the 3G and 4G only has 256 MB of memory. The 5G 512 MB, This does not work for 1G and 2G
    Next try
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Saari and Clear Cookies, Data and History
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Have no clue what is happening to make the font change style. Are you hitting any keyboard shortcuts or is a syle applied to those cells?

  • Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, etc., turned off.  Seems to be on reason for this.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!

  • Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

    How do I eliminate this glitch?  Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

    Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
    I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
    Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
    Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
    But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!
