Can't get multitasking status bar to show

I purchased an ipad original, and double tapping on the Home button does not bring up the multitasking status bar.  I've tried resetting the device, but still no multitasking status bar.  Any suggestions of what may be happening? 
Also, how can I check to be sure I am on the latest OS? I do not see that info in the About section of the Settings.

The latest iOS version is 4.3.5 - it should show in Settings > General > About > Version on the iPad, and on the Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes (i.e. on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad device on the left-hand side of it) - there should also be a Check For Updates button on that tab which should check if there is more up-to-date version available than you've got installed.
The multi-tasking bar was introduced in iOS 4.1 (I think), so you need iOS 4+ on the iPad for the bar to appear

  • When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

    When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites.  I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar.   This problem only started
    a couple of days ago.  Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
    doesn't shown up in IE?
    I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
    in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
    Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
    You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
    %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

  • How can I get the status bar back on my web page

    I want to get the status bar on the bottom of the web page so that I can slide from left to right if an article is too large for my monitor. I had it this morning 1-5-15. After checking out Thunderbird as an option for my email, the bar disappeared after uninstalling Thunderbird. I know about hovering over the web pages I have on my menu bar, but I would rather have the entire bar at bottom of page.
    The gray bar shows up in my email only. I would like to have it on all my websites.
    Thank you.

    Does the scroll bar appear if you maximize the window or possibly switch to full screen mode via F12?
    You can try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize the window in case the current window is too high and the horizontal scroll bar falls off.
    Try to open a new window in case there is a problem with the current window.
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted xulstore.rdf file.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I recently updated to Firefox (desktop) 6.0.2 & love it but please can you tell me an EASY way HOW I can I get the status bar to display at the bottom so I can see the status of my downloads, safe sites & that sync is either in progress or finished.

    Windows 7 64-bit
    Firefox v. 6.0.2
    Norton 360 v.5

    Firefox has a status panel that shows you what is happening during page loading, and also shows the destinations of links when you mouse over them. The status bar showed that as well. You really do not lose that information. I found that I like the addons bar better than the status bar because I could put more buttons on it.

  • How do I get the status bar to appear in FF4.1?

    I upgraded to FF4.1 and discovered the status bar had disappeared and a few add-ons no longer worked :/
    After discovering this I re-installed FF3.

    See step #10 installing the Status-4-Evar extension in the following ...
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • I can't get my location bar or back/forward buttons to show up.

    I can't get my location bar or back/forward buttons to show up.

    * If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show. How can I get it to show on my screen?

    I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show on my screen. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. How can I get it to show on the screen whenever I want. Nothing in my manual answers that question.

    The Users Guide says:
    Additional audio controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.

  • My LCD screen burned out. I have it connected to a tv now, but can't get the menu bar or the function bars to show up. Please help!

    My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!

    Hello
    you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
    for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

    HOPE you are in 10.6

  • Can you disable the status bar on a web browser from an applet?

    I have a signed applet and am using plugin 1.3.1_02 with IE 5.5. I use the showStatus("text") method to display pertinent information to the user in the browser's status bar.
    Currently I see all types of messages being displayed (in IE's status bar) as my applet communicates with the server. I would like to restrict what is shown in the status bar to show my system messages only.
    Can I filter what is displayed or disable status bar functionality programmatically from the applet? Or possibly with a browser/plugin setting?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I think you can do that with Java to JavaScript communication.
    thanks,

  • I loaded the Bing Bar & smartprint sw. It appeared to work this time BUT I can't get the bing bar!

    I'm using a Presario Desktop & an HP Lazerjet M1522nf all-in-one printer. I had tried to download Smartprint a couple of weeks ago.
    I had trouble with it & when I checked found out that the current smartprint package would not work with ie9 & windows 7.
    I see that the smartprint was corrected to work on windows 7 & ie9.
    So I downloaded the new Bing Bar and it seemed to load ok.  Then I downloaded the new smartprint software and it seemed to load correctly.
    I made Bing the default!  I can NOT seem to get the Bing Bar to show up on my screen.
    What am I doing wrong and can I get some help with this problem.

  • How can I make the status bar always visible in safari?

    How can I make the status bar always visible in safari? Even when I go to "View" and then select "show status bar," the status bar still disappears unless my cursor is hovering over it. I want to be able to see the time, battery life etc. while surfing the web in safari!

    When Safari is in FullScreen mode, menu bar will be hidden.

    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
    Double arrows will appear. Drag it to resize the window to fit the screen.

  • Can't get full menu bar only get chevron

    I installed PSE7 and removed PSE6. When I load the Organizer, instead of the full menu bar (File/Edit/Find/View/Window/Help) all I get is a sideway chevron. I can click onthe chevron and get a dropdown of the menu but how can I get the full menu to show onthe menu bar? In the Editor, the menu bar shows fine.

    To add to Barbara's perspective: More and more computers are shipping with high-resolution/small dot-pitch displays with the DPI (dots per inch) preconfigured to 120, and dropping the DPI to 96 makes other applications pretty hard to read.  Combined with their insistence on using low-contrast grey elements in the user interface, PSE can be tough to use by those of us with aging eyes.
    Microsoft's user-interface guidelines specify that programs should support DPI's of 96 and 120:
    http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=375024&postcount=11
    Microsoft doesn't enforce those guidelines, of course, and software vendors are free to annoy their paying customers in whatever way they want.
