How do I close a web site and get back to the home page?

When I click the close button on a web page I end up at the desktop with no visible means of using other sites. When I click on the fire fox logo again I am told that I am already connected. When I use the back button instead of the close button to get to the home page and then shutdown my computer to start over I get the oops page asking if I want to restore web pages that I thought were closed.

Make sure that you type in the location bar and not in the Google search bar.
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Apps Stopped Working and go back to the home page

Today suddenly my apps stopped working. When i would press them it would come up for a few secs and then go back to the home page. So i deleted all my apps on my ipod and figured i can dl again from my itunes. When i tried syncing the apps i got the msg: Some apps(all of them) were not synced because this computer is not authorized blah blah. I can Sync my songs/photos/vids fine. Can anyone help?

From the message you need to authorize the computer for the account that purchased the apps. See:
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
ALso make sure the iPod is also sign into that account.
You can also redownload the apps directly to the iPod if you have iOS 4.3 or later, see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have had my Ipad for approx 4 years. When working with an app, the screen will go black and then back to the home page.

Hi sjeure,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend restarting and resetting your device to see if the unexpected app closing still happens:

How do I get back to the home page in the iPod app?

Another problem like the other ones. I started to play an audiobook on my iPad.....one I had synced from my iTunes/i/pod. Now I can't get rid of it. I can stop it from playing, but it is taking up half the menu ....has a picture of the book and says "the book (title) is playing." I want to get that off so I can play my music but I can't get out of books and back to the whole ipod menu. I guess my question is how do I get to the iPod app's home page when I am stuck on the books page?
I don't know why this is giving me so much trouble. I check everything and sometimes I find a way to get back to home, but I sure don't see it on this books page of iPod.

This is what I mean: The users guide gives me all these instructions. BUT, it does not give instructions to just STOP. I don't
Pause a song
Tap .
Resume playback
Tap .
Raise or lower the volume
Drag the onscreen volume slider or use the iPad volume buttons.
Restart a song or a chapter in an audiobook or podcast
Tap .
Skip to the next song or chapter in an audiobook or podcast
Tap .
Go to the previous song or chapter in an audiobook or podcast
Tap twice.
Rewind or fast-forward
Touch and hold or —the longer you hold the control, the faster the song rewinds or fast-forwards.
View album art full-size
Tap the album cover when playing a song.
I don't want to pause, resume playback, restart or any of these things. i just want to STOP. How do I do that?

How can i get back to the home page when it is stuck

upon removing an installed app in settings, I am unable to return to my home screen. How can this problem be fixed?

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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

When I close a webpage I can't get back to the home page on Safari. I just get a blank page.

How can I return to m homepage after closing another webpage on Safari. All I get is a blank page.

I dont quite understand your question. There is no homepage on Safari for iOS. It just opens to the last page you were on. If you're on a blank page, just enter the URL you want in the address bar.

When I try to open some web sites i am blocked by MOZILLA and redirected to a site I did not want and am unable to close or go back without going back to the home page. Help help help

I have removed the check from the pop up blocked in the MOZILLA options but still get this problem of not being able to open certain sites. The MOZILLA icon appears with the three options available, but before i can click on one I am automatically redirected to a site I did not want, and when I try to go back it will keep coming back to the site MOZILLA put on the computer. I have to close and go back to the home page and start all over again. I have installed a new virus protection system STOPZILLA and could this have any bearing on the problem. After awhile it becomes very frustrating trying to get on line information and being continually redirected. Any ideas?

There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Probably a glitch in Safari.
Quit Safari - double tap the Home button to reveal the multi-tasking window at the bottom. Swipe sideqays until you see the Safari icon. Tpa-and-hold until the red circle/hwite bar appears, then tap that to close Safari. You might do that with all the icons to be sure.
Tap the Home button to close multi-tasking.
Restart the device (hold Home and Sleep for around 10 seconds untl the Apple logo appears).
Fingers crosed, that'll fix it

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

This is the iPod touch forum. You seem to have an iBook problem and can't understnd your problem with that.
I do not understand what you mean by page and what you mean by library.

Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

There are instructions on this page for creating a new account : Set up an Apple ID in iTunes
Or if you don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
But you won't be able to transfer purchases from your old account to it, all content that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
