App or "button" to delete all currently open apps
I was wandering if there was an app or button that we could press to delete all of the open apps in the background rather than having to press them one at a time. I am sure this is an Apple software development issue but wandered if anyone has any ideas. I have seen it on one of the other smartphones.
There are no apps or buttons to do this & further, it's not really necessary to do so. Read here to understand the multitasking bar:

BEfore updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button and delete all of the previously opened apps. After updating, I am not able to figure out how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thank you.
After you double click the home button you swipe up on the app screenshot.

I kept getting reminders to update my iphone to v6, so I did so and I am not happy! It deleted all of my apps, so then I had to reload them. Now many of the apps do not work - when I try to open them they keep asking for my apple ID and PW and when I enter this it just goes away and never opens. Anyone else had this issue?
Happened to me once awhile back. The exact same thing. What I did to get everything working again was open up itunes on PC and click on "Apps" section (not the one in your iphone section, but the one in the "Libraries" section near the top). Then proceed to totally delete all of the apps that aren't working (if it asks if you want to send to recycle bin click yes). Re-sync phone, which will remove them from the phone. And, finally, re-install them. It was a pain, but the only thing that worked. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.
rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button. -
I downloaded ios7 to my iPhone and it deleted all my downloaded apps. Some of them can be opened in the App Store. How do I restore the apps. Also, it changed the weather app to Celsius, how do I change it back?
Any Apps purchased with your Apple ID can be downloaded again, no charge. Tap Apps icon, tap purchases. This should pull up App Store and past purchases. Apps made on another ID must be downloaded with that ID ( my sons and I share a library on the computer! but have separate IDs.
Weather app has a settings function to change to Fahrenheit -

How to show up all the open Apps in this new iOS 7?
Mine iPad2.
When i was on the previous iOS 6.. I could press on the home button and it will display all the opened up Apps. I could then close what ever Apps I wish to close.
Since updating to the latest iOS 7 I do not get opened up Apps displayed on pressing the devices home button. How could I get my iPad 2 to show up all the opened Apps? Double tap on the home button does not work in this new iOS 7.
Any clues
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
RegardsThanks so much this works. **** apple. Every time they update one has to learn how to do simple tasks all over. I appreciate you giving me/us the answer. By the way, I hate the new operating system. It ***** on all level. Icons look like they belong in a preschool.

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -
MY IPhone will not let me back up my phone or download the IOS 7 update because it says i do not have enough storage space. But I deleted all of my apps and pictures just to update it and it still wont let me do it. What should I do?

I tried doing my update and it told me I don't have enough storage, so I deleted all of my apps, photos, videos, and music and I still don't have enough storage. Any suggestions?
Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I make FF4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs in 1 browser. The change used to be auto and applied to all open browsers last time. Now I need to close every open browser and reopen for the effect to take over.
I use that add-on. Works great.

HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..." Why?
My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated. I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
"Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems. This third one, however has the warning above.
How do I fix this problem?
By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
Thanks.Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated
