ok, I will do my best to be as direct as I can.this as been happening as far as I know without me doing anything. so, when I click the buttun at the top right, the ipad tell me the time and I press home to see all the regular stuff, now before I have the time to even touch the ipad it start to offer me all kind of stuff, for exemple something to the clipboard and the last time I try I did ear the ipad telling me if it mean anything to someone to do a double tap with four finger to get out of help. but I never and I would not know how to get into this help , I know I don't give much information but that is all I have, just before writing this I did ear the offer of doing the double tap with four finger to get out of help but I am kind of scare to touch the thing. now, to top it off when I plug the ipad to itune it is offereing me a update, and because I am on satellite I can only do it after 2 o clock during the night becqause of the policy of my provider but living in the country this is the only provider I can get so that is ok I put up with this inconvenience, I am a night bird anyway. does someone think that by doing the update tonight, it would help me with my problem? and I guess my last thing will be next week to phone apple but I don't really like phoning them. any one can give me some guidance please. I love my ipad to watch netflic during the night. thank you

It sounds to me like your touch screen is malfunctioning. Make sure your touch screen is clean before waking the iPad. If there isn't anything on the screen, and it is still misbehaving, then try resetting the iPad by holding down the home and power buttons for several seconds. If that doesn't solve your problem, then try restoring your iPad through iTunes. If still no joy, then it's most likely a hardware problem, so you will need to take your iPad to an Apple Store, if one is nearby.
