Ipad applications close unexpectedly

I have a 3g 64 Ipad. I brought many games in itunes, the problem is that when I'm playing the games the Ipad keep closing the games and start changing from page to page without pressing any button or touching the screen. I tried to restart the original settings but didn't work. What can be happening here?

I can't provide a solution, but i would recommend that if you want an apple product that is fast, reliable, and worth your money, I suggest a Macbook. I am using my mac right now to write this.. It loads SUPER fast, it is not going to just quit on you unless you are being too irresponsible and stop it or dent it, it won't like, break and stop working, but it will take a lot less time to get hot. It might be out of your price range as it costs any where around $2000 for a new one, but it will be worth it. Just don't burn through storage at the speed of sound or it will pause the system from using app memory on applications, until you get more storage space to use. Also, don't install things you don't need, or are skeptical about. It will get all pushy and give you ads without your knowledge. as long as you are responsible, you won't have spent $2000 on a mac for nothing. :3 😀😉

Yea, I have some apps that will crash and I am sent to my homescreen.I can't even get into the game.This is frustrating and I tried to delete some apps but I want all my apps, but I wish that I could take my default apps like calender off.I can't even delete my calender,health,safari(which I don't even use because I installed chrome),prodcasts.This is the stuff that is taking up space even if it is a little and I am sick of them and I want to take them off. Can someone answer if you know how to take default apps off ipad please

First try cleaning your screen, if there are dirt or food on your screen it effects the touch.

Also it sounds like it may have gotten wet (rain, sneeze etc.) to be save turn off the ipad and just let it sit in front of a fan (normal fan not heating fan) for a while.

Go to settings and clear your safari history, cache, cookies, etc. (it is apple but there are viruses for it)

If all else fails back it up on itunes then select factory default

i have been having the exact same issue since i have loaded up on apps as well. i have just over 100 apps, and just over 40gb free still. Support from one of the app makers tells me the solution is to power down the ipad and then back on. (a full power down, by holding in the power button for a few seconds and then swiping the screen to confirm the power off.). This frees up any in-use memory. (Wish "memory" was listed in the ipad control panel, but thats another gripe...)
the full power down works, but only for a few hours of usage, before it has to be done again.
i've noticed the safari crash generally happens when i launch an embedded video in a web page and the video starts to buffer.
so this leaves me with 2 questions...
1. what the heck is utilizing memory in the background? (especially when 'multitasking' isnt an option on ipad)
2. why does this issue not seem to be causing much problem for others.

How did you Apple support appointment go?

I have the same issue and it's driving me nights. I use my iPad to browse the Internet and for social media like Facebook and twitter. So far fb and twitter have done this to me. It just closes and returns to home screen without any prompting. And after that happens, it won't open again. My first iPad 2 had a bad mic right out of the box, do I need to trade this one in too?
