Thanks Meg,

The home screen is dancing not just the icons and i have clicked on an icon until the x appeared and deleted it to see if that did the trick and it did not also when I go into an app like email - it stops whilst i am in it and starts again when i come out!- any other ideas?

Press the Home button


Then do a device reset:


*Device reset*


Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)


1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.


2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.


3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
