How can I switch between apps without going to home screen?

Is there anyway to switch between apps with one tap? (ie. without going to home screen first). Kind of like a command-tab feature.
Steve

Well, you can have one app that you can get to with a double push of the home button (set in settings which you want), but I think it's only your contacts list, or your ipod app. Still useful though.

Not possible. Provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
Thanks!

This is the only way I know of. It is messy though.

How can I purchase an app without a credit card?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
When you create an Apple ID for any of these stores, you will need to provide a payment method for purchases. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use:
Credit cards
iTunes Cards
iTunes Store Gift Certificates
Content Codes
Store credit (including Allowance Account balances)
ClickandBuy
PayPal
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.

You can sync an iPhone to only one computer. If you connect it to a different computer (or you have never connected it to a computer) it will delete all iTunes content on the phone and replace it with the iTunes content on the current computer. As Avis says, you can transfer your purchases to the computer you are about to sync to, but only if that computer is authorized to the same account that the content was downloaded under.

Accidentally deleted an App Store app. how can I get the icon back on my home screen? when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

accidently deleted an app Store app. how can I get the icon back on my home screen? in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

What happens if you tap on open?
Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

The new iOS 6.0 update doesn't show my apps on my home screen. They are in the iCloud but only give me the option to open therm. How do I get these apps back to my home screen?

My apps are not showing on my home screen after the new iOS 6 update. They are in my iCloud but it only gives me and option to open. How do I get these apps back on my home screen?

Do you have an Restrictions set that would hide the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find them.
Next
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000 one at a time?

How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one? I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily. Now that option is gone. I still have lots to delete.

I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-) Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper. I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it. There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

How can i buy free apps without a credit card

Hi does anybody know how i can set up an app store account for the purpose of downloading only free apps
without providing credit card details?
cheers.

Yes I did, I have two apple ID's, one which I created only yesterday this is the one which I do not want my credit card details on.
So I signed out of my existing account (tried this in itunes store and app store, on my mac and ipod touch) then signed in with new ID, can't get past the credit card request. I don't get the none option, on the touch i don,t get the pop up scrolling window with all the options.
I want this seperate account so my son has the freedom to download free games etc on his ipod touch without access to my creditcard.

How can I download free apps without a credit card or paypal

I need to reinstall some free apps and I don't have a credit card now or paypal. How can I do it

The page referred to above lists instructions for when using iTunes on a computer. Did you read the page?
And by the way, you posted in a thread that's now six months old. That's usually not going to get you a reply.

How can I access free apps without a credit card?

I'm trying to create an Apple ID for some elderly folks that want something as simple as checking the weather and potentially other free apps but at no point can I create an account without a credit card, an idea that's very bad for folks that are not at all technically savvy.
Various guides suggest there's a 'none' option for payment type if you attempt to create the account with the need to obtain a free app in the app store but this option does not exist, we only have three credit card options. If I change to USA, I have more options like Paypal but none of them is 'none'. Also tried the UK, still didn't work.
Can anyone advise me as to how we can 'review terms' without entering a credit card? It's difficult for me to explain they can't do as much as they want to do with their new $400+ purchase because they need to use their credit card for authorization.

Edit : your last reply appeared as I was typing this.
I've just tried the steps and they worked ok for me, I've got the 'none' option for a new account e.g.
These are the steps that I used to give people (free apps are now labelled as 'Get') : Re: i want to create an appleid and i dont have credit card. the instruction that you discribe at the top is not working…, and that is what I've just used.
If you update the primary email address on the account that you've already created then you should be able to try using to create another account - you can change the primary email address by logging into it via http://appleid.apple.com, or by logging in via the Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes. You can create a 'throw-away' email account to put on the existing account via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com
I'd be surprised if the info that you've just been given about gift cards or credit cards is correct, iTunes gift cards aren't available in a lot of countries (and they are country-specific) and a lot of people don't have credit cards - they'd effectively be preventing a lot of people form having accounts.
