How to stop fullscreen in iPad safari?

In my iPad 2 ver 8.1.2  I've lost the use of the Safari Browser. A website is stuck on full page, so I can't type in a url, or go back. Nothing of Safari shows.  I keep my ipad locked in Horizontal view. If I unlock it and turn it vertical, I can see the left side of Safari, but not all the way to the right. How do I disable Fullscreen? If I could go back and forth between part and full screen, it would be fine, but there is no return to Safari controls!

Thank you for your responses. It was not zoomed.  I finally restarted the ipad, and that cleared it. I've since read that swiping up with two fingers might have restored Safari. I don't want to try to put it back into fullscreen, so that I can test this.  I don't know how it got into fullscreen anyway.
When I poked around on the screen, I was able to bring up a screen that showed all the open web pages on a grid. I could tap one and it would come up--in fullscreen.
My preference is to see the working Safari with all its tabs and the current web page open in the lower half.

  • How to stop to sync ipad apps with itunes without loosing everything?

    My iPad is synching it's apps with itunes. Now that we have icloud, my ipad already has a backup in the cloud, and the PC backup of my apps is no longer useful. My goal is to stop my apps to sync with itunes on my PC because it is useless, it takes a lot of space on my hard drive (with many apps other 1-2GB each), because it drains my network bandwidth when it syncs, and finally because it makes my music synching with itunes extremely long (because it needs to sync all apps when it sync the music), and all of that without any use.
    I tryed to simply uncheck "sync my apps" , but itunes wants to delete all my app and app data if I do so. I searched online and found out that some tryed to let itunes erase them, then use the icloud backup, but it seems that the icloud backup also backup the "sync my apps is checked", so it is not working. I tryed contacting Apple directly but for itunes they say we have to use the Fast Land, which cost money, which is conter logic (why should we pay to report bugs and get support for an unworking product that should work properly in the first place?), and also very frustrating.
    I got poor support by Apple over the years, but I now that the best support often comes from the people that uses the product itself, and that is why I am trying to get the answer from you guys over the support communities.
    None of us is paid to help each other, so thank you in advance for your time!
    PS: Apple; fast lane needs to be free, it's not normal to have to pay to get the service every company in the world gives freely...

    How do I keep these computers in sync in iTunes without iTunes re-arranging my iPhone home screen and corresponding app icons?
    You don't.  Each sync-able item (apps, music, contacts, calendar, etc) can only have one source.  You don't see it because all of the iTunes libraries have the same apps, but if they didn't, it'd be adding and deleting apps too.  So each type you sync, the one you're currently syncing with becomes the authority.
    Since you state that your goal is for all the libraries to match, there's no reason to be syncing them all.  Pick one, designate it as the authority, and on the other two, don't sync apps.

  • HT201236 how to stops ads appearing in safari like mackeeper etc...

    my browser most of the times show up ads like mackeeper or something when i select something.....it occurs almost overtime i select anything and its very annoying and disturbing...kindly help me a way to stop those ads....i have already downloaded ad block from safari extensions but still no use of it...

    Hello gowthamappleboy,
    If you are seeing pop ups all the time and even have the option to block those pop ups, then take a look at the article below to walk you through checking the settings in Safari to remove them. If everything looks good, there are some additional steps to help remove items that may have been installed with other software that you have downloaded previously.

  • How to stop iTunes on iPad from zooming to artwork?

    Is there any way to stop iTunes on the iPad from Zooming to the **** album artwork when selecting a song? This is annoying and wastes time.

    It only zooms in on the album artwork for the first song you choose, after that it just plays the song when you touch it.

  • How to Stop one users ipad from backing up to My User iTunes

    I have 3 Users on the mac.
    We each have either an iPhone, iPad or iPad mini.
    They often all stayed plugged in for charging when not in use.
    When I open my user name iTunes, I want to jsut see and backup just my devices.
    is the a way to just select which devices connect to my user iTunes

    Ah, OK, I'll try again.  I went straight to the question, avoiding all the irrelevant distractions associated with so many posts, in order to prevent the thread going off on a tangent.  But I can see that that won't work.
    Getting the irrelevant stuff out the way first:
    MacTower with 6 USB PORTS, 4 on the back, two on the front.  No hubs.  All devices charge just fine.
    3 different Users of the Mac, each with their own loggin Username.  Two of them are computer incompetent, and just can't seem to look at iTunes when there are different iDevices plugged in without choosing or otherwise changing sync settings of devices that are not theirs.... despite the fact they are named with their own names.
    So, back to the question.
    3 different iDevices ( iPod, iPad & iPhone) are all plugged in.
    Each device belongs to different User
    User A comes along and logs in
    Fires up iTunes
    iTunes recognises all three devices and connects to them all
    iTunes  backs  up a each connected device, and shows them all in the sidebar.
    I want to set iTunes up so it only backups Users A's device.
    Better still, not have Users B&C's devices appear when logged in as User A

  • I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad.  As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message.  I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

    I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad.  As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync.  I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed.  Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    How to stop the Sending USSD message on my iPad since upgrading. The eKit SIMM worked fine on my older iPad. Thanks

    Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
    (I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
    I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

  • How do I stop all of the Safari spam pop-ups?

    Since I downloaded OS Yosemite, my Safari is constantly getting pop-up tabs with spam.  It is very bad and Apple was not supposed to be susceptible to such virus issues.  Someone please advise if you have the same happening and how to stop it.  Can you re-download a new fresh version of Safari to stop it?

  • How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    This is what I was told:
    Double tap the home key...press and hold the icon...when the minus appears on the icon, tap the minus.
    This will delete the aforementioned icon from the task bar. When the icon disappears, the browser, or any app, is then closed.
    Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

  • How to Stop automatic file saving on IPAD Adobe Reader 11.2

    How can stop my PDF document being saved with the fillable form data when being using Adobe Reader 11.2 on an IPAD - the file is automatically saved when the user returns to the document folder.  The original pdf file was created from a Word document and then text,signature and date fields added using Adobe Acrobat XI and saved using Standard Save function. I am trying to achieve my users completing the template form using the IPAD and then emailing it. However each time the form is filled and emailed (which all works fine) and the user returns to the "documents" folder, Acrobat Reader 11.2 automatically saves the file with the form data

    I think the iPad forces a different way of thinking. In general, you don't have to save files on the iPad, and that's important. The iPad has complete liberty to quit an app when you want to run a different app, or just because it feels like it. When you restart a good app, things are as they were when it was quit.
    Resetting is a possibility, but remember that because of this automatic quit/automatic restart it might happen when you don't want it. A reset BUTTON seems entirely possible.

  • How to view "recent searches" in safari on ipad (ios7)

    Since the introduction of the unified search field, I can no longer view recent searches (previously accessed by clicking on the magnifying glass on the search field).  Note that I am not interested in the browsing history, I want to see a list of recent searches as this saves me having to retype my search query each time I want to display the search results.  Does anyone know how to display "recent searches" in safari on iPad with ios7?

    Thank you for your reply but unfortunately this doesn't address my issue. Typing in the unified bar brings up suggestions, bookmarks and history but this seems to be browsing history only (i.e. sites I have actually visited). I still need to retype my search query to display my search results again.  I wasn't aware you can't downgrade, isn't that a bit silly? What if there is a major fault or drawback with the new software, are users left with no option but to bear it? Also, upgrades should be an enhancement on a previous version, one would not expect to lose functionality or a feature by upgrading (especially when there is no option to go back)..it poses a risk in performing any future updates if I could potentially lose something I already have!
