Double-tapping to switch between or clear running apps is not working with iPhone 4s.

when I double tap to close out or switch between running functions, it does nothing ever since yesterday. I have the most current update since last week and the home button works for all other purposes so it's not broken. Now my battery is draining because I cannot shut off running apps. Please help!

Hi Kate,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into a multitasking issue that’s preventing you from switching between apps or forcing them to quit. Try restarting your iPhone, as shown in the article linked below.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If that doesn’t do it, you can always try restoring the iPhone to factory settings too.

  • "Nike + running" app will not sync with iPhone 5s

    Since I got an iPhone 5s last week, my Nike + running app will not sync. Does anyone have experience with this?

    I have the same problem and I don´t know how to solve.

  • How do I close programs in IOS7.  The old way with double tapping the button and getting the red X does not work.  Even rebooting the phone does not work.

    How do I close programs with IOS 7?  The old way of closing programs by double tapping on the button, holding down an icon until it started shaking and a red X appears does not work.  Every program I opened appears.  Turning on and off the phone does nopt work.

    I just found out.  Above the icon is a copy of the open page of the program(s).  You slide the pages up to close.

  • Is there a way to clear the app stores "Not on this iphone" list of previously downloaded apps?

    with the new update there is a way to download all your old apps. however my list is immensly long, and i am looking for a way to clear or reset the list.
    the list im referring to is on my iphone 4, in the app store, under the tab "Updates" and "Not on this Iphone" alot of these apps are old or i have no interest ever downloading again and would prefer to not have them showing

    There are many threads that have recently been posted addressing this matter. Currently iTunes and iOS displays all Apps ever downloaded  and you can't control which ones you would like to delete from that list permanently and which you would like to keep in the Cloud, so to speak.

  • Clear cache for items not working with multiple items

    APEX 4.0, 11g. I've made a session state process that clears cache for items (item_1, item_2, item_3) but I keep getting an error "Unexpected error, unable to find item name at application or page level" I have now created 3 session state processes, each with one page item in it, and it works fine but as soon as I try to put more than one item in the process field, separated by commas, I get this error. Is there some other setting I have to change to make it accept multiple values in this field?

    No, I wasn't using the parenthesis... just the items separated by a comma.
    I don't want to clear the cache for all page items, just these 3. It works okay in 3 separate clear cache for item processes, just thought it was odd that I can't put all three items into one process separated by commas.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

  • I have recently switched ISPs and have anew e-mail address but ThunderBird will not work with this address. Have tried tech staff with Bell to no avail

    My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
    Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you help

    Why don't you tell us what you did and why it didn't work? Start from File/New/Existing Mail Account, enter your details, click Continue, then immediately click Manual config. On the next screen enter these settings:

  • G4-450 DP with a 22 inch clear Cinema display will not work, please advise

    Hello all
    I can not seem to get a G4-450 DP to work with a 22 inch clear Cinema display, i even have one of those dr.botts wich i normaly run a 2nd 15" clear display.
    What happens is that it starts up and then goes black,
    can anyone advise?

    Hi-
    Could you check your system profiler for graphics, and post the model of the card that you have? The stock card is the Rage 128 with the following specs:
    -ATI RAGE 128 Pro graphics card with 16MB of SDRAM graphics memory installed in a dedicated AGP 2X graphics slot
    -Support for up to 1920– by 1200–pixel resolution at 32 bits per pixel (millions of colors)
    -Apple Display Connector (ADC); carries analog and digital video, USB, and power
    -15–pin mini D–Sub VGA connector
    You say you have a DVI port (along with ADC) so, I want to clarify the card model.
    You also state that the display worked once- in what configuration? Connected alone? Through the Dr. Bott's DVIator? That means from the DVI port to an ADC connector on the screen (but the 22" is a DVI connection)?
    I found the following quote on the Dr. Bott's page:
    However, the ATI Rage 128 card will not work with the 20", the 22" and the 23" Cinema Displays
    To clear up confusion (mine), please carefully check your profiler, compare the ports of your card to the Display compatibility link (in above post), and let me know the results (what you have), along with a description of what connects to what. A model number for the display would also help.
    Generally speaking, when a display goes black after the gray screen, the graphics card isn't compatible, or the necessary software/drivers are not installed.

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

  • It does not work with sync between Outlook

    It does not work with sync between Outlook, Exchange and iPhone.
    Writing something into the iPhone so it will in the PC calendar and put up in telefoen. After a while, it disappears from the iPhone but is still on the computer. The same goes for the iPad. Seems to have arisen after the last update as a security measure was around May 25 -13.

    Suggest turning off and deleting the Exchange account and adding it back again. Appears there is a communications problem between the two.

  • I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.
