IOS 6.1.2 issue iPad multitasking gestures.

So I downloaded IOS 6.1.2 on my Ipad and now it won't let me do some multitask gestures. I can only get pull up the bottom menu, i can't pinch to close an app nor can I swipe the screen to move to the previous app. Any ideas about what is going on? is it the software?

OK. Then you do know how to do the gestures, just like to make sure.
Try this. Turn off Multitasking gestures in the settings, reboot the iPad, turn Multitasking gestures on again and see if they will work for you then.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Anyone else experience iOS 8 iPad issues with multitasking gestures?

I've had several instances where the multitasking gestures do not respond on my iPad mini. When using the 4-finger swipe up (equivelent to double click the home button), instead of entering the multitasking view, the visible app senses me trying to scroll. I tried this gesture from the Settings app in landscape mode and both sides of the app scrolled. Restarting my iPad fixes this issue temporarilly.
On another occasion, while trying to switch between apps by swiping left to right with 4 fingers, SpringBoard crashed and restarted.
Anyone else seeing these kinds of issues? How best to report to Apple?

Yes, I have this on an iPad Air after updating to IOS 8. The pinch option seems to randomly quit working. It you go to Settings and turn off Multitasking Gestures, leave Settings, and go back in to Settings and re-enable Multitasking Gestures it works again for a while but will then randomly quit again. It seems like it is only the pinch option that quits working.
I have found that when I have the problem I can pull down the Notification screen, or pull up the settings screen using the one finger swipe up or swipe down option and then the pinch options works again. Since I found this circumvention and don't have to toggle the setting it is not as annoying, but I still wind up trying to pinch multiple times before I realize it has quit working so I agree this should be fixed soon.

IPad mini multitasking gestures ios diagnostic appears

I recently sent an ios diagnostic report to Apple, then I updated from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1, after that when using multitasking gestures, ios diagnostic window keeps appearing.
How do I turn it off?? Thanks guys

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

Ipad 4 having multitasking gestures and scrolling issues

I have an iPad 4 and after the iOS 8 update the multitasking gestures stopped working. They work at their will. I waited for the 8.0.1 to solve it, it didn't nor did 8.0.2 and even the latest iOS 8.1 have no affect on it.
Another problem is the scrolling is so buggy in several apps, especially in notes.
Is there a fix or workaround?
Device: iPad 4, iOS 8.1 running

Have you tried resetting the iPad or resetting all settings?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Ipad air2 multitasking gesture fails occasionally

my ipad air2 multitasking gesture fails to work when I start using the "ZOOM" and even change its setting( general>accesibility>zoom>on/off) also the notification and control center fails to work. I tried to turn the multitasking gesture switch to on/off but it does not resolve, so I restart my ipad and it worked. On the 2nd incident it happened again when I try to explore the "ZOOM" settings. Do I need to return my ipad to apple store? Or wait till ios resolve the problem? Thanks in advance

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

IPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8 causing performance issues?

I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 8 and it's now no longer functioning quickly enough to be usable. For example, it takes several seconds for the screen to simply shift from portrait to landscape. The delay in typing alone makes it unusable. Anyone else having the same problem? I tried to reinstall iOS 7 but wasn't successful. Anyone figure out how to fix this?

Adding more bellow.....
(Same issue happening to my iPad.... plus....when apps are opened they take too long too load up, at times there is a black screen, not just blank, but a black coloured screen. Than after waiting for it to open, after a few minutes of using the app (any app) or if I put my iPad to sleep to go do something else and go back to the app it is frozen and can not be used... so I must close it, so either by four finger swipe up or double clicking the home button and closing app and reopening it to work. This happens while reading emails as well. What about iCloud account not working, rejecting the password that works on an iPhone but not on the iPad! Annoying! Has anyone escalated these problems so that the Apple people do something about it. My iPad also gets real hot...this has been happening from the first time I purchased it, this has not stopped it still heats up, I have called and spoken to apple about it, around 3 or 4 times, but they keep saying its normal, but it's not...other friends that have iPads, and I have quite a few friends who do have an iPad, their iPads do not heat up like mine, and we would be at same meeting using our iPads! HELP US APPLE....)
Forgot to mention....multitasking gestures stop working...and that wifi gets disconnected on iPad to many times a day. the list is growing!! I think Apple is trying to get us to buy new iPada or iPhones, if they can add U2 album to your music list, then can do anything! I wonder....if we should all go get a windows based computer! My desktop is a dell..works just fine never had issues like these,

Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?

I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures.
If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close. What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher. It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on.
If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature. Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work).
Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described? I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end. Thanks in advance.

Hi keffa
After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:
http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4222231
This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?

Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?
Why?
This's discrimination for iPad 1 users!
Why disable it?
I think your strategy will make many of Apple users dispointed!
I hope to add multitasking gesture to next updata or fix !

iOS 5.1.1 will not give the iPad 1 the full suite of multitouch gestures. The hardware won't support those. And you responded to a post that's almost two years old.
Regards.

Multitasking Gestures Missing from iPad 1

Hi, I got two questions regarding multitasking on ios 5:
1. I originally enabled multitasking gestures in iOS 4.3 via XCode (i didn't jailbreak my idevices), and it works perfectly for me on my first generation iPad, now however, after upgrading to iOS 5, i found apple has disabled this function from iPad 1 user, but only allow iPad 2 user to enjoy it.
So I'd like to ask, if i plug my iPad into XCode with iOS 5 on it, can I reactivate this function?
2. I noticed that there is a function new in iOS 5 that may replace the the multitasking gestures (i just hate to use the physical home button), it's called assistive touch, and by enabling it it will have a floating menu down at the lower right corner of your screen, which is a bit annoying. I saw in Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> AssistiveTouch, there is an option called Always Show Menu, but this option is greyed out, there is no way for me to change this option, so how can i enable this option and hide the assistive touch menu when it is not needed?
Thanks in advance!

Are you reffering to that little white point on the right corner that will not disapear ? One question: can you use the assistive touch to show multitasking bar ? if so, how? I still have 4.3.5 with gestures enabled and I'm happy that way but.... at some point all apps from appstor will start to require IOS5 .... I will probably be forced to upgrade to IOS5 at some point

Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari?

Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari? Just like in a mac, with the multitouch gestures. The osx Lion got the launchpad idea from the ios, so why don't the ios gets something from osx?

Why don't first-gen iPad users deserve Multitasking Gestures???!!!

Apple,
As one of the early adopters of iPad, I feel betrayed that I am left out on such an important feature of Multitasking Gestures in the new iOS 5 update!!!
Why???? What's the good reason for denying us the convenience of this feature? If for any reason the gestures might slow down iPad1 due to its inferior hardware capabilities, couldn't you trust the users to turn it off instead of taking that out of our hands completely?
It's impossible for you not to understand that iPad users want and like the gestures. And there is no excuse for not providing it to all iPad users.
Huge disappointment!!!!
-C

I Suppose you are right in that sense, but what they can control the 6 plus' signature on the App Store and giving it access to the iPad version of applications.
Also the gestures and button functions of iOS are controlled by Apple...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I've grown to love the 6 Plus, I just wish I could make more use of its bigger size...

Ipad 4.3.4 Multitasking Gestures missing

I updated my ipad 1 to 4.3.4 last night and noticed 'Multitasking Gestures' are missing. Anyone else?

Multitasking gestures haven't yet been enabled in any public release of iOS - I think that it's due to appear in iOS 5

IOS 8.1 (Latest) and multitasking gestures failing

After the first upgrade to iOS 8 the multitasking gestures is constantly failing to work. Its still not working with iOS 8.1. I have to constantly put it on and off ro reacts aye the function In my iPad Air.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,

Other than resetting all settings - and that is a crap shoot - it is something that Apple has to fix. Many of us are experiencing the same thing, I am now going on about a week of not having to toggle the setting off and on and that's great progress for my iPad. My point is that I don't think there is anything that you can do. It's on Apple now to fix it.
You can leave a bug report here.
