Four finger swipe not working on iPad

The four finger swipe feature to switch between open apps is not working on my iPad. How can I restore this feature?

Your tagline say that you are running iOS 4.2. It doesn't Work in iOS 4.2. you need to upgrade to iOS 5 if you want that feature. You need to update via iTunes on a computer for this update. After you update to iOS 5, you can do future updates OTA via WiFi.

Finger gesture not working on ipad

Ever since the iOS 8 update and the latest updates there after, figure gestures on my iPad are simply not working. To get then to work you need to drag down from the top of the screen to see notifications and then it works. have spoken to apple and they suggested it was an app but it does it on everything. Come on apple sort this out its very frustrating. Has anyone had this and have a solution ?

Define "finger gestures". The iPad is a touch screen device so that's a pretty broad category. If you are talking about multi tasking gestures, like pinching to the home screen, or using a four finger swipe, I have found it to be flakey since the iOS 8 update as well. If it quits working on me, I go into the Settings>General>Mulitasking Gestures and turn it off, then on again. That's not a fix, but it usually holds for a few weeks before I uave to do it again.

Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe not working in Mavericks

I just bought a new Macbook Air for my wife (running Mavericks) and can't figure out why the Zoom the screen with ctrl 2-Finger Swipe is not working.
I can't find the setting anywhere.
I looked on my Macbook Pro running Mavericks (on which the zoom still works), but I cannot find the setting on that computer either.
Please help.
Thanks

System Preferences---> Accessibility---> Zoom---> Use scroll gesture with modifier key to zoom. Select ctrl in the drop down menu.
It's a feature not normally turned on, so you might of had it turned on on your Mac before upgrading to Mavericks. And it just kept the setting.

Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

Hello,
since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
Sascha

Pual_31 suggested good advise...
I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.

3 finger swipe not working

i don't know when it stopped, i have installed snow leopard, can't be sure it was since then, but my 3 finger swipe has stopped working in any program. don't use firefox. just updated safari, snow leopard, nothing unusual installed recently.
any ideas? know issue? i've seen a few posts, but they mostly relate to firefox.

After I installed the recent security update for Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, I noticed this problem just today. The problem affects all multi-touch gestures, including but not limited to the following:
Gestures Not Working
3 finger swipe
4 finger swipe (switching applications, show deskop, and expose')
Rotate & Pinch
Gestures Working for now
Secondary click (on bottom-right of trackpad)
2 finger right-click
2 finger scrolling
Tap to click
Click
Dragging (without enabling "tap to click")
I've had my MacBook Pro since December 2009 when I bought it at a Best Buy, and I have a Best Buy warranty so if it is hardware-related, then I can just drop it off at a local Best Buy and let a Geek Squad Agent deal with it.
If you want to send your complaints to Apple about this issue, send an email using this link ([email protected]). According to AppleInsider.com, the public release of Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard is expected to be released in 6 weeks from now with more support for certain technologies, applications, and more stability to target crashes, bugs, etc.

Four-finger swipe constantly stops working

I'm running Snow Leopard on my 27" iMac with a Magic Trackpad, and the four-finger swipe Expose gesture regularly stops working, which two and three-finger gestures continue to work fine.
Sometimes a reboot will fix the problem, other times I can reboot two or three times before four-finger swipe works again. I've used the trackpad since it was released with no issues until a month or two ago when the problem started.
I've installed the latest combo update, repaired disk permissions many times over, reset PRAM and SMC, deleted a plist file pertaining to Expose which someone on the forum recommended. Nothing has helped as of yet.
When 10.7 Lion is released I'll do a full and fresh install which should finally take care of things, but until then I'd love to get this working without having to reinstall 10.6.
Thanks for any help.

Four finger swipe shows screenshot of last session

A bit confusing to explain so I'll give an example. I'd written out out a note in the Notes app, then deleted the note and closed the app. Then later when I opened up Notes again and did the four-finger swipe to close something, I could see a small screenshot of the deleted note like it had 'remembered' the last screen it was on. This happens with all apps and the internet, meaning that when I scroll through open apps, sometimes I get a miniature glimpse of whatever email I was last writing or whoever's Facebook page I was last on, even though the app has since been closed and reopened.
Any way to solve this?

Unfortunately I misread G3Gators answer. I read the article now please read my demonstration to show the difference between open and closed apps
1 Turn the camera on. Double tap the home button. Notice the camera app has a live picture. That is a open app.
2 Turn the camera on. Single tap the home button. Wait a second. Double tap the home button. The camera app preview has a fuzzy picture. That app is closed.
3 Turn camera on. Double tap the home button, once again the camera is live. Tap one of the other app previews to open another app. Wait 10 seconds. Double tap the home button. The camera app preview is now black. Even though the camera was purposely left on the ipad turned it off. That app needless to say is closed.
Why do you need a history of the apps you used ? Your original question was why were you seeing apps you had used. What you were seeing was the history, not running apps.

Four finger swipe produces black screen

I have just discovered that a four finger swipe upward produces a black screen. Is there any news about this happening.

I just upgraded to iOS 6.1 and am experiencing this problem. It doesn't seem to affect anything else but I don't remember seeing this "extra" screen before. I tried restoring it to no avail. I have an iPad 2 32GB.
Anyone have any ideas?

Multi finger gesture not working

Hi,
My laptop is hp 15-r014TX.
Recently my touchpad multi finger gesture has stopped working. I can not scroll using 2-finger scroll, right click, rotation, zoom in and out. However, one-finger gestures are all working fine like I can swap between apps by left swipe, options appear by right swipe. I tried changing the settings, but of no use.
Thanks,
Pragya

Hello @Pragya_Mathur ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 15-r014tx Notebook and the finger gestures not working correctly. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the finger gestures on a Touchpad.
If you will go to the section on common TouchPad gestures, TouchPad and ClickPad configuration options are located on the TouchPad properties page. It shows you the Clickpad properties page. You can select the options. This only works on programs that have this capability, such as a photo browser or word processor.
Hope this fixes your issue with finger gestures.
Thanks.

Printer not working following iPad uodate

Printer not working following iPad upgrade

Hi,
Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

Flash Variable is not working in Ipad

Hi Experts,
I'm facing with an issue, could you please suggest me your valuable suggestions.
I have created Two dashboard (Example names A1 and B1), I need to open the dashboard B1 without asking credentials, when I select an Image in A1.
To work in such a way, I have created a flash variable and pointed the range to cell J1.
I have placed a URL button on top of image in Dashboard A1. I have copied following URL in a cell, and this URL I have pointed to URL Button.
URL= (="../../../Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=M1TVABCADjs2AHoAlg123AAgoBpgwAAAA&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken="&J1)
Opening B1 dashboard from A1 is working fine in desktop and in Android tab, but it is not working in Ipad. Not working in Ipad in the sense a new browser window is opening with empty page.
I have tested in another way like, passing opendocID and Flash variable to the URL button, It is working fine in Ipad but asking for the credentials.
Experts could you please suggest me some solution.
Ipad is Ipad2 and BO Version is 4.1 SP4.
Thanks & Regards
Karthik M
