Can't pinch to minimize apps anymore

When I try to pinch an app to minimize it nothing happens. I have to use the home button to navigate between apps. Why would this stop working?

Thank you for the replies!  This is the first time I have asked a questions online.  I am happy with the quick resolution to my problem!  Somehow Multi-Tasking Gestures was switched off.  Turned it back on and everything seems back to normal now.  Thanks for the other suggestion too.  Sounds like something that could be useful someday.

    i was using an app while the battery ran over, then when i recharged my ipod, i can no longer open that app anymore. Why?

    No idea why.
    What have you tried to solve?
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried removing the app, tehn adding it back?

  • Can't update or download apps anymore after updating to ios8

    i don't know what to do, since updating to iOS 8 I can't update or download apps ,does anyone here know a solution to this? Please help thanks

    I have a very simple web page that uploads pictures (.jpg or .gif) and when I updated my iPAD to IOS8 this morning the web page times out for any upload.
    My web Page uses a very old HTML form like this :
    This html form works on all the following browsers, but not Safari on the new IOS8 on my iPAD
    Google Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 m
    FireFox 30.0 & 32.0.2
    Internet Explorer Version 11.0.9600.16428IC
    Safari Revision 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)
    iPAD IOS8 Browser has a very serious bug that needs fixed.
    The only way I found to put in a ticket on this is through apple.com/feedback, which I did.

  • I can't find my downloaded apps anymore!

    I wanted to install a app that i had dowloaded some days before and noticed that the "purchased apps" - tab (I hope it is right), in the appstore doesn't work anymore! It just says Loading and wents white then (after 1-2 seconds). I had also tried to logout and login in the Appstore and iCloud, but that didn't help. I wrote this question to the iTunes Support but they sad that this question is more a iCloud "thing".I have an iPod 4th Generation.
    I hope you can help me!
    (I am form Austria, so sorry for grammar mistakes if I have any.)

    I also noticed that the "Genius - tab" has the same problem!!

  • Why can't I use several apps anymore since update to iOS8?

    It really harasses me not being able to use several apps on my iPad anymore since I updated to iOS8. I paid for some of them not to long ago!!! Why doesn't Apple warn people that some apps will not work anymore when you update? I have already contacted the developers but they told me, that Apple has changed such a lot, that it would take them too much time to make their apps compatible.

    Apple should offer the ability to downgrade the device back to the previous version of iOS for people in your situation.
    I learned the hard way, long ago: don't upgrade unless you HAVE TO. It's almost always best to never update more than one major version past the one your Mac or i-device came with. It will become slow and laggy, as the newer systems are made to run best on newer hardware. Plus you get to deal with apps breaking, since Apple has a very small commitment, if any, to backwards compatibility.
    I've had Apple render all my software obsolete and non-functional twice and major portions of it one more time, during the 68000-PPC-Intel-32bit-64bit transitions. I always knew it would happen with iOS eventually, as well.
    Sadly many great developers and their great apps were killed off by these transitions since they were smaller devs who could not justify redoing a niche product that didn't pay their bills well enough. It's part of life, like when a great restaurant goes away. Nothing lasts forever.
    My advice is that you buy a used device with the iOS version you prefer. I still have iOS 6 on my iPad because it does everything I want, and who knows if these apps will still work on newer versions, or if the iPad will become unusably laggy. Besides, I greatly prefer the look-and-feel of iOS 6 with its gray UI and easy-on-the-eyes, subdued tonality. I cannot stand the stark, bland, oppressive whiteness of iOS 7–8. To each their own.
    RIP Steve

  • HT5858 Why can't you manually close apps anymore?

    In the old iOS you could hold down on an app and manually close it.  My Safari is frozen on my iPad and I can no longer manually close it like before with IOS7.  How can I do this without having to hard reset the iPad?

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • BB 8220: App World can't download and Facebook App stopped working!

    Good day!
    I have a BB Pearl Flip running on OS4.6.0.155 and everything seems to be working just fine: the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even my apps but suddenly, while I'm surfing the net using my BB (via Wi-Fi), my FB app stopped responding and I thought there was just a limited connection but since then I can't access my FB app anymore wherever hotspot I go. It's just stuck on the loading page but I have my Twitter app working though. And in another event, I am trying to download the BlackBerry App World in my BB but it failed because of some error. I also tried downloading the FB app v. 1.9 (since I have a v. 1.7 only) but also failed. What seems to be causing these problems? And why can't I download BB App World (as well as any BB apps) anymore whereas I've downloaded my Twitter app before and it worked successfully?
    It's bad enough that I can't upgrade my OS to version 5 but do I have to suffer being denied of access to my FB app and other downloadable apps on the BB site?
    Help me please.

  • Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    That’s just the problem I’m having. I follow all the steps as found in the iPhoto help. I select a photo then click the i (INFO) button in the lower right corner to open Faces - Keywords - Places pane. Then select the Keyword I want to remove, then the delete key. The key word I want to remove is removed okay at that point, (from the Keywords pane.)
    However, when I go and do the same operation on a second photo - again the keyword is removed in the Keywords pane - then when I go back the first photo - the unwanted keyword is back.

    You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

  • Can't install purchased app anymore?

    Hi, I recently bought an app called "Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock" for $0.99 from the app store. It worked great until I saw there was a new update for it. I ended up trying to reinstall this app, and every time I try to do so I get "Unable to Download Application: Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer." When I sync with iTunes, it tells me that it was unable to sync the app because an unknown error occured. Anyone have any suggestions on fixing this? As of now I'm unable to download the app at all, so I'm hoping I'll be able to wake up without it now -.-

  • I can't install app anymore on my ipad2 (ios 7) even though there is empty space?, I can't install app anymore on my ipad2 (ios 7) even though there is empty space?

    it's running ios 7.0.2 or something like that.  I can't install new apps anymore, updates work fine.  the 32gb real estate are only used for apps, I have no stored movies, photos, music.   So there is room.  There is also room on the screen itself.  I know there is max number of apps you can install right?  But even though I delete an existing app to replace with a new different one, it still won't install.  I reset, turned on/off, everything but no luck.  Please help. 

    Hook it up to the computer that you normally sync with and, if necessary, fire up iTunes.  Look at the usage chart at the bottom of any screen.  If it appears to be unreasonable, a "Restore" may be in order.  Go to the summary screen and follow the on-screen instructions.
