7 month old thread, probably by this time OP already has a Note.
As for the rest of us, we did understand. Kappy answered correctly that it could not be done. Its jus not something iOS is programmed to do.
We then gave some alternatives. no one suggested it was what the OP wanted to do. Just something that could be done to approximate the requirement.
If that doesn't work for you, then there's nothing else that can be done.
Its not a currently supported feature on iOS. You can offer the suggestion to Apple on their feedback page.

There's nothing wrong with buying a different product that fits your needs more than an iPad.
Its like tryng to take a Sedan offroad. Was it built to do that?  No. Can it, probably limitedly but the experience is not going to be very pleasant. Buy an Offroad vehicle and you can go offroad just fine. You don't whine because the sedan can't do it. You get something that can.

  • How do I have two windows open side by side in Mountain Lion

    I want to open two windows side by side for comparison purposes.  Can anyone tell me how to do this please?  BUT when I input something into one window, I don't want the other window to close.  I know this can be done on my Windows laptop but I'm now using Mountain Lion on a new Mac - maybe it's something I have to learn to do without.
    Any help would most appreciated.
    Thanks Sue.

    You want to have two browser windows open at the same time?
    In Safari, just type command + n, and a new Safari window will open. You can use either window independently.
    (Trust I have understood your question.)

  • How do I have two apps open at the same time on full screen?

  • I have two apps on my app store that won't update. I don't need them. How can I remove them from there? Thank you!

    Hey
    I have two apps on my Mac App Store that won't update no matter what I do.
    One of them  is not even mine. It shows a weird russian email address that does not belong to me.
    The other one says "updated" but won't go away from the updates list no matter what I do (Reboots, etc).
    How can I erase them? I need niether apps.
    Thank you very much.

    Hey!
    There are two things here. The first one is that the apps aren't of course hacked/pirated. The mac is of a friend of mine. She's 65 or something and has no idea on how to hack apps, plus, afaik, nobody else has access to her computer.
    Secondly, the thing is that niether app shows at the app list, and we even made a find from a terminal window, and got no results of the apps.
    It is a very strange behavoir and if somebody has a solution I'll be glad to hear it.
    BTW, She just upgraded her machine to OS X 10.8.1, I'll check if the upgrad fixed the bug.
    Thanks!!

  • How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

    Hello, folks :)
    I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
    The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
    I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
    How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
    Thanks for your replies :)
    P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
    One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

    I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(

  • How do i turn off apps running in the background with the new upgrade?

    how do i turn off apps running in the background with the new upgrade?

    They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

  • Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do you have two classes drawing to the same JPanel? Graphics g problem

    Hi all,
    This is probably a five second answer but im really stuck on it!
    How do i have two classes both writing to the same JPanel?
    I have one class that extends JPanel and using Graphics g, draws to the panel ie g.drawString(..);
    But i would like another class to draw to the same panel, so that the two different classes can both draw what they like to the JPanel.
    How do i do this?
    I have tried sending the Graphics g object from the one class to the other but only the original class draws still. I was thinking perhaps if it carn't be done could i have a JPanel on top of the other one that is transparent so there would be a tracing paper effect?
    Many thanks

    I have tried sending the Graphics g object from the
    one class to the other but only the original class
    draws still. I was thinking perhaps if it carn't beThis is the right idea. One problem you may be running into is that JPanel fills in its background with the background color by default. If you switch and use JComponent instead of JPanel you may get better results. Another idea is to use a "painter": a class that has a paint(Graphics g) but is not a component and just paints on a component. I've done this before in implementing Tetris where the dropping piece is a class which can paint itself but is not a component.

  • My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

    My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
    It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
    I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
    I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
    All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.

  • How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

    Hi,
    I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
    I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
    1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
    2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
    3. No right click works on track pad?
    4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
    5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
    I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
    Regards,

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

  • TS1591 I just bought a second iPod touch (4th gen), but when I connect the second iPod to my computer it is not recognizing it. How can I have two iPod's set up????

    So I had an iPod touch and everything with it is fine. I just bought a second one for my daughter...exactly the same as my iPod. This second one was bought used, but was reset completely before I plugged it into my computer. My problem is... my iTunes does not recognize the second touch as a device! I can't get it to sync, so I can't get any music or anything onto the device. How can I have two iPod touches on my computer? Is there something special that I have to do to get my computer to recognize this second touch as a different device?? PLEASE HELP!!!  

    - If you are using the same USB port and the same cable and have iTunes version 10.7 or later on the computer there is something wrong with the iPod.
    - Does the second iPod work?
    - Does it charge?
    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.

  • How do I turn off apps running in the background on iOS7?

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7.  How do I turn off apps running in the background? Double tapping the home button and turning each one off doesn't work on the updated iOS.

    Double click the Home button and "slide" the open apps 'UP" with your finger, they will disappear.
