My iPad mini becomes unstable. The screen starts jumping around and other apps start running. If I turn it off and restart, it's okay for a little while. Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix it?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I've reset it, I've restored it, still acting crazy.

Did not happen until the last update.

Is there an IOS problem?

I have had exactly the same problem now with two mini iPads. Everything was tried; 1) restarting; 2) restoring factory settings etc. NONE worked. Eventually Apple agreed to replace it. I have had the replacement now for two to three months and exactly the same thing is happening again. So off to Apple tomorrow to get another replacement.

I am quite a heavy user of the iPad so wonder if this is something to do with the fault.

It is so frustrating as sometimes reset works, and then after 10/20/30/40 minutes (you pick) it goes unstable again.

Problem is moisture in ipad. They are not the least bit moisture proof and moisture gets under the screen and in the port.. Take your cover off .put it on charge so it warms. It will dry in a day. Dont bother taking it to Apple .All they know is how to reset which is useless Apple needs to redesign the ipad so it is at least water resistant. A $20 watch is water resistant so why cant Apple do it? They can get rid of the silly external volume and rotation switches for a start and just use the screen. A port cover would also be useful.

Thanks. Very useful tip - my screen has been driving me nuts....so far so good

I had suddenly confronted the same problem, then I remembered the last charging was done by my Mac computer, I now have charged it by wall charger, it seems quite different.

Hello, my iPad mini has gone crazy. Problem started yesterday. I have tried deleting the apps that the problems seem to have started in, but now the whole thing is effected.

same thing here . apps open in back ground , keyboard is not responding , & wifi connection drops often .

I have had this same issue since the last OS Update.

OMG, just removed the silicone cover and it was drenched!!! The iPad is plugged in. Ho

I have the same problem with my iPad Pro and it's not a moisture problem. its also started doing that bit saying this

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution? I went so far as to restart and restore. Nothing has worked. What helped you?
