Home Screen Wallpaper and Multitasking

I have an iPod Touch 8G 2nd Gen., and I read about the IOS4 update online. After i spent a total of 6 hours updating my iPod, and after it deleted all of my media, I had discovered that my iPod isn't compatible with most of the new features, like Home Screen Wallpapers, Orientation Lock, and Multitasking. Does anyone know if Apple will make these options available for 2nd Gen. owners in the near future??

Hello iPk Sevenfold,
Apple will not be making these options available for 2nd gen owners because it is an issue of hardware. The 2nd gens don't have the capable hardware to run these features up to apple's standards.
2nd gen hardware:
533MHz processor and 128MB RAM
3rd gen (32/64GB) hardware:
600MHz processor and 256MB RAM

Home Screen Wallpaper

Is it possible to use the feature for customized home screen wallpaper? My daughter has iPhone 3GS and it works for her, I have 3G and can't seem to use that feature after updating to OS 4.0.2. Am I doing something wrong or is that feature not available on my phone?

Sorry, not available on the 3G.

IPod Touch 2gen iOS 4 Can't change home screen wallpaper

I just updated my iPod Touch 2 generation to iOS 4 and I was excited about changing the home screen wallpaper, but when i went to change it, that option wasn't there. Is there some reason this feature is not available on the iPod Touch (or mine at least)? I am confused and disappointed..

You never could change the background... At least, I never could!
You can change the picture for the "home" screen, unless I'm mistaken. This is the screen you see when you click on the iPod waking it from stand-by. You'll see the "slide to unlock" slider, and your image in the background, but that's it!
Now, here's the "thing"... Granted, I've not been using it for a couple of months, so correct me if I'm wrong. Behind all the icons, the background had the typical "space" image. Dark, with red gassy clusters and stars... The same default image from OS X. Or, maybe I'm going crazy, and it's always been solid black.
After I ran the update, I did the same thing as everyone else... Tried to set my background, only to find it isn't supported on the 2g. I was surprised to find it solid black though. Were did my star picture go?
So, please let me know if I'm imagining the old starry background was there, or if the update has sucked it away to blackness.
(Otherwise, folders are good... That is all.)

When setting photo as lock screen/home screen wallpaper, quality is reduced

When setting a photo as the wallpaper for my lock screen/home screen the photo quality is dramatically reduced. This appears to be an issue since updating to iOS 8, as I have not changed my home screen wallpaper yet since updating, and when setting the same photo as my lock screen now, there is a noticeable difference. This only seems to be a problem when using landscape photo. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Mara,
This is apparently a bug in iOS 7. Take a look at the posts to the right under "More Like This". Several users have come up with creative workarounds for this. Hopefully it will be fixed soon in an upcoming release!
Cheers,

Setting Landscape Home Screen Wallpaper Without Zooming In

I have an iPhone 4s IOS 7.1.1. Is there a way to put a landscape/horizontal photo (from my camera roll) as my home screen wallpaper without it zooming in all the way and filling the home screen? I want it to still remain landscape (so the whole photo is visible).

I know on Zedge Mortb when i'm previewing Wallpapers they Will pull in & out if i press on the Screen but once i set them as a Permanent picture they no longer do that. Interesting in what the OP has and i have ever tried a Launcher but they do have a Bunch a Settings that you can Change.. b

IOS 4- Home Screen wallpaper

How can you change this? The only option I can find is "Wallpaper" which changes the lock screen.

Do you have a 3G or 3GS?
I don't believe the option to set a home screen wallpaper is available with iOS4 for the 3G.

IOS4 update home screen wallpaper

The iPod touch update to get a home screen wallpaper can you do something?

Wallpaper is not supported on iPod Touch 2G. Only if you have an iPod Touch 32GB or iPod Touch 64 GB.

Changing home screen wallpaper

I just updated my 8GB iPhone to the new iPhone 4 software. How do I change the homescreen wall paper?

If you have an iPhone 3G, that's all you get, I'm not sure about the iPhone 3GS, but I suspect it gets the home screen wallpaper.

Why is my iPhone 6 Plus home screen flickering and freezing up?

Why is my iPhone 6 Plus home screen flickering and freezing up?

Try these steps as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
2. Restore to factory settings:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
3. Get warranty service from Apple in the country where the phone was purchased

I can't change my iPad Mini home screen wallpaper at all, not even a default. I can't change my lock screen either. Help! I'd rather not waste my time bothering with computer programs so please give me a SIMPLE solution if you can.

How do I change my seemingly unfixable iPad Mini Home Screen and Lock Screen wallpapers?

I tried that and that is what initially started this. I wanted a new wallpaper for my home screen and it didn't work so I reset it. The wallpaper is now zoomed in, I can't zoom it back out, and I can't change it to the new one I want. Plus, recently I had reset it and it stayed at the Appe logo and didn't move and I got scared that I'd never be able to use it again, I tried random things and it turned on again. I think I was just lucky so I don't want it to happen again. And yes I did look up how to fix it but it was really complicated so I just did what I mentioned.

Lock Screen vs. Home Screen wallpaper (iPad 3 with iOS7)

Please help me understand wallpaper difference for the lock screen and the home screen. While testing the colors and brightness, I changed my personal wallpaper for one of the Apple wallpapers. Then I lost my photo. AppleCare said it was because I had changed the wallpaper on the lock screen! How is that possible when the screen is locked??

Thanks very much Johnathan. I feel like an idiot. It works great.

IPhone defaulting back to home screen, freezing and in a loop of rebooting/asking for passcode

iPhone 4, just over a month old, about 2 weeks into use has been playing up since.... I'm certain the problem is the same, but it manifests in different ways, usually daily. If unused for a period (as in an hour or two), the iPhone (when pressing the home button) goes to the black reboot screen, then asks for passcode, back to reboot, passcode and into an interminable loop.
Attempting to launch applications, or the internet, will just revert back to the home screen (as if the home button is pressed), or often, the home button will not work at all.
The onyl way of rectifying this is to shut off or - as this is sometimes not possible - screen and all buttons unresponsive - rebooting (holding home button & one of button)
I'm hoping it's a simple case of reinstalling something, or perhaps reverting to factory settings, but wonder if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

Hello Simmo1997,
Sorry to hear about your issue but let’s see if we can get your iPhone back up in running. If your iPhone is disconnecting when trying to restore then check out the article below to get you started with isolating the issue. Let me know if it gets resolved or if you discover a new symptom.
