Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

app flick off

the screen on my ipad (purchased end of 2020) keeps flicking all over the place. For example on the setting screen the keypad flicks flicking up and down but I can't enter anything. If I get to try try to change the wifi the password screen will come up and then flick down before I can enter the password.


Any app I go on has a mind if its own.

A forced-restart may be helpful - as this will often resolve a software issue:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




If the problem remains unresolved, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - or from the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store.
