8.1 Bugs - Multitasking Gestures & Safari

Installed 8.1 and multitasking gestures will cease to function at random. FIX: Control settings, turn them off and then back on again. But, note that in time, it will stop functions again, so repeat the process. Zero points for Apple here.
Safari is a browser gone wild. Video gets choppy now at times. No, it is not my connection. I had an older iPad running side by side on same video, same website. The ipad running 7.1 played the same video without a hitch. Also, when using the iPad keypad, weird things happen in safari. The keyboard will close for no reason whatsoever, it will type all caps when caps lock is not engaged, it will scroll the text area out of view so you cannot see what you are typing. Same website, same text box, different iPad running 7.1 functions properly. Zero points for Apple.
CONCLUSION: Seems like Apple hired a new Development Director who has dropped the ball and is leading Apple into a major losing streak. As the umpire (consumer) I call them as I see them. Apple, I think you need to hire a new manager before you become proud honorary recipients of a 1st place trophy on The Wall of Shame. Sorry, but when you start putting out technology that is glitchy and scratchy, then maybe you should consider the cartoon business.

I Have to use different browsers to do different things
to put auction on eBay I use safari to upload the pictures I have to go to chrome ,
and nd then if I want to edit I have to use chrome ,
i can't select text and copy from webpages like I used to , some web pages forms don't display so can't fill in so then switch to chrome only to find on chrome you can't click on drop down menus etccc
IOS IS A DISASTER THEY HAVE EVEN SENT ME A NEW IPAD REPLACEMENT ALTHOUGH MY DAUGHTERS IPAD STILL ON IOS7 works fine , they havent a CLUE , I asked how would a new iPad fix a software problem ???
JUst seen DUMBER AND DUMBER TO HAS BEEN RELEASED ALSO !!!!!
GIven up up ipad is up for sale also whilst typing the text disappears behind the keyboard so you can't see what your typing , I was told by Irish so called senior advisor this was normal ,,, oh it's a new feature I replied you can't see what your typing and that's a good feature DUMB springs to mind then he said he wasn't a great user of PAGES but he just told me it was normal

  • Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?

    I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures. 
    If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close.  What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher.  It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on. 
    If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature.  Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work). 
    Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described?  I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end.  Thanks in advance.

    After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4222231
    This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
    Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

  • Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari?

    Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari? Just like in a mac, with the multitouch gestures. The osx Lion got the launchpad idea from the ios, so why don't the ios gets something from osx?

    Send them feedback and make the suggesion. We're just fellow users here, we have zero control over anything Apple does.

  • Ipad air2 multitasking gesture fails occasionally

    my ipad air2 multitasking gesture fails to work when I start using the "ZOOM" and even change its setting( general>accesibility>zoom>on/off) also the notification and control center fails to work. I tried to turn the multitasking gesture switch to on/off but it does not resolve, so I restart my ipad and it worked. On the 2nd incident it happened again when I try to explore the "ZOOM" settings. Do I need to return my ipad to apple store? Or wait till ios resolve the problem? Thanks in advance

    Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
    Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
    When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
    You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
    Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
    Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
    Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
    APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
    I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

  • IOS 8.1 (Latest) and multitasking gestures failing

    After the first  upgrade to  iOS 8  the multitasking gestures is constantly failing to work. Its still not working with iOS 8.1. I have to constantly put it on and off ro reacts aye the function In my iPad Air.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks,

    Other than resetting all settings - and that is a crap shoot - it is something that Apple has to fix. Many of us are experiencing the same thing, I am now going on about a week of not having to toggle the setting off and on and that's great progress for my iPad. My point is that I don't think there is anything that you can do. It's on Apple now to fix it.

    Why there is no multitasking gestures on ipad 1, but it is on ipad 2 !?!?

    Only Apple could answer that and Apple does not post here. As to whether or not it's fair, life is not fair.

  • Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?

    Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?
    Why?
    This's discrimination for iPad 1 users!
    Why disable it?
    I think your strategy will make many of Apple users dispointed!
    I hope to add multitasking gesture to next updata or fix !

    iOS 5.1.1 will not give the iPad 1 the full suite of multitouch gestures. The hardware won't support those. And you responded to a post that's almost two years old.
    Regards.

  • Multitasking Gestures Missing from iPad 1

    Hi, I got two questions regarding multitasking on ios 5:
    1. I originally enabled multitasking gestures in iOS 4.3 via XCode (i didn't jailbreak my idevices), and it works perfectly for me on my first generation iPad, now however, after upgrading to iOS 5, i found apple has disabled this function from iPad 1 user, but only allow iPad 2 user to enjoy it.
    So I'd like to ask, if i plug my iPad into XCode with iOS 5 on it, can I reactivate this function?
    2. I noticed that there is a function new in iOS 5 that may replace the the multitasking gestures (i just hate to use the physical home button), it's called assistive touch, and by enabling it it will have a floating menu down at the lower right corner of your screen, which is a bit annoying. I saw in Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> AssistiveTouch, there is an option called Always Show Menu, but this option is greyed out, there is no way for me to change this option, so how can i enable this option and hide the assistive touch menu when it is not needed?
    Thanks in advance!

    Are you reffering to that little white point on the right corner that will not disapear ?  One question: can you use the assistive touch to show multitasking bar ? if so, how?  I still have 4.3.5 with gestures enabled and I'm happy that way but.... at some point all apps from appstor will start to require IOS5 .... I will probably be forced to upgrade to IOS5 at some point

  • What happens if my multitasking gestures doesn't turn on?

  • Why no multitasking gestures for iphone in ios5?

    I was just reading the iOS 5 features list and noticed that multitasking gestures would be integrated into the new update, but it seemed to indicate it will only available on the iPad and not the iPhone!
    Is this true and if so what is the reason?
    On one hand I might assume it's hardware based and that the my iPhone 4 is not physically able to distinguish more than 2 touch points (rendering 4/5 finger gestures useless), but while I'm not fully familiar with the tech behind capacitance screens I would have thought the screen would detect as many points of contact as there actually are and it would be the software/firmware which would decide how to interpret these signals?
    Or maybe apple have decided screen real estate is a limiting factor on the iPhone, though I don’t see why?
    Anyway perhaps someone out there more knowledgeable on the subject can enlighten me!?

    Anyway perhaps someone out there more knowledgeable on the subject can enlighten me!?
    Even if there was, iOS 5 is in beta and only available to registered developers under a non-disclosure agreement, meaning they cannot discuss the beta outside of Apple's private developer forums.
    Apple have not made any public announcements as to why multitasking gestures are only on iPad. Speculation is against the Terms of Use of these forums.
    iPhone's can detect at least 10 touch points, so it's not that.

  • Why don't first-gen iPad users deserve Multitasking Gestures???!!!

    Apple,
    As one of the early adopters of iPad, I feel betrayed that I am left out on such an important feature of Multitasking Gestures in the new iOS 5 update!!!
    Why???? What's the good reason for denying us the convenience of this feature? If for any reason the gestures might slow down iPad1 due to its inferior hardware capabilities, couldn't you trust the users to turn it off instead of taking that out of our hands completely?
    It's impossible for you not to understand that iPad users want and like the gestures. And there is no excuse for not providing it to all iPad users.
    Huge disappointment!!!!
    -C

    I Suppose you are right in that sense, but what they can control the 6 plus' signature on the App Store and giving it access to the iPad version of applications.
    Also the gestures and button functions of iOS are controlled by Apple...
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I've grown to love the 6 Plus, I just wish I could make more use of its bigger size...

  • Where are Multitasking Gestures for iPad 1

    I have been using Multitasking Gestures on an iPad 1 for some time now.
    It was enbled through Xcode, however I can't see how to turn it back on following the iOS5 update.
    Can anyone help?

    Apple should think carefully about how they treat iPad1 users.
    iPad1 users are the tech savvy people who moved first and recommended to their friends that they come on board when iPad2 was released.
    However, experiences like this might inspire us to find alternatives to the next logical step (iPad3), given that Apple are unnecessarily limiting the features of older devices.  If Apple want to inspire us to find alternatives to iPad3 and help our friends make the switch too, then just keep following this older style of business model!

  • IPad mini multitasking gestures ios diagnostic appears

    I recently sent an ios diagnostic report to Apple, then I updated from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1, after that when using multitasking gestures, ios diagnostic window keeps appearing.
    How do I turn it off?? Thanks guys

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
