I can't close inactive apps - double tap home won't work

I know how to close apps on my ipod, it just won't work.   When I double tap the home button, nothing happens - I can't get to that screen that lets me close the apps.  Any suggestions?  Thanks. 

Did a bit more research - I guess its just normal as the 2g doesn't support multitasking so there are no apps running in the background.  Thanks IIIaass for the info about 2g vs 3g!

  • Might be a dumb question, but I am moving from 1st gen to iPadair; on Safari, 1st gen to delete apps/sites just visited, you could double tap home key and apps would appear on bottom and one could delete from there. How does it work on ipadair?

    This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
    I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.

    Close apps and not delete apps.
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • U mean used apps running background if that Wht i do is double tap home button , then swipe it upwards

    U mean used apps running background if that Wht i do is double tap home button , then swipe it upwards

    To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Swipe up on the mini screen of the open app - not the app icon itself.

  • When I double tap the home button and delete open apps, they will just re appear if I double tap home again,...

    I always delete my open apps but since i did the lates update the apps wont delete they will just re appear when i double tap home again,.. Whyyy??

    For clarification purpose:
    You start by double clicking the Home button to reveal the screen as shown above. You then swipe upwards on the App Previews to clear all recently used Apps and end up with a screen like below?
    You then tap the Home button to return to normal screen. Then you immediately double tap the Home button again to see all the recently used Apps as shown in the first picture? If this isn't the procedure you are following, please explain your process, and exactly what you are seeing. Attaching screen shots will help.

  • Can Apple please being back double click home (left swipe) for Music?!

    I live the ios6 function off accessing music by simply double tapping home and swipe left however it's gone now so if your walking etc there's no way to quickly get to music. This especially if I'm at a stop light and don't have time to look for my music app or click lock and open it that way as I have to keep my attention up. Please bring it back, I like the new lock screen but not this take away.  Thanks.

    You can make your request at Apple Feedback. This is not Apple to whom you are speaking.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • No camera shortcut button on lockscreen after double tapping home button

    Even after double tapping home button on lock screen I get no camera shortcut, just Itunes controls. I have closed all applications and restarted Ipad and still wont show up. Pleeeeease Help very frustrating

    You need to double click the home button. Have you tried that? The camera button does not appear by default. It pops up after the double click.
    Hope this helps.

  • Chnage double-tap home button shortcut

    I know how to change double tap between favorites, camera, search and ipod. I don't use those and the search shortcut is redundant with the default left swipe feature on the home screen.
    What I would really like is to have double tap home toggle Wi-Fi on and off. This would be very useful to me. Anyone know if it's possible?

    No, it's not possible.

    You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

  • Can I use my iPod on my home computer and work computer?

    This may be a very dumb question, but can I use my iPod on my home computer and work computer? I noticed that it seems to want to do weird things to my iPod if I try to hook it up on my work computer (I have all of my music on my home computer... it is backed up 1 or 2 times a week to preserve my music). Thanks for any help.

  • On my iPhone 4S, I can not close my apps.

    I've tried this several times and nothing has happened. I double tap the home button, all open apps are there, I slide them up to close them and then I restart/reboot my iPhone. Once it starts again, I go into my phone and check to see if they have closed and alas, nothing is closed everything is there!
    Is there anything else I can do to close my apps?
    Thanks!

    Why are you restarting your device at all? Double-tapping the Home key and sliding up on the thumbnails should result in them closing. If you slide up on all of them, tap the Home key once again to go back to the normal Home screen, and then double-tap the Home key again, are you seeing any open apps?
