IPad app icon will not move across rows

iPad model A1460 iOS 7.0.4. There seem to be strange touch-related problems. Difficult to describe all the issues, however, the following is very consistent:
1. On main menu screen, second or subsequent screen, touch an hold an icon, goes into edit mode.
2. Icons on the top row cannot be moved off of the top row.
3. Icons on a row other than the top row cannot be moved to the top row.
This behavior is consistent. It is impossible to group icons into folders if an icon is on the top row. The icon will pick up, but as it is slid either off the top row (or onto, as the case may be) it simply detaches from the finger touch and slides back into position.
The other strange behavior is similar, and is usually in an App. A touch will not be recognized and must be repeated numerous times. This seems like it might be in certain regions of the screen, but it must vary due to context, as the regions seem to move. An example of this mught be that it is impossible (sometimes) to select the first word or words in a Notability document.
Any ideas? The iPad 2 I use has never displayed these behaviors. The misbehavior is consistent across users. It does seem to be worse in iOS 7 than in iOS 6, by the way, but it has always exhibited some strange behaviors in this regard from "day one."

My Battery Icon will not move!

My iPhone 3G is less then a month old & starting yesterday my battery icon will not move at all. It will show my iPhone as fully charged even though it is not & i have been using it all day. This is terrible because i can't ever tell when my battery needs to be charged. Is this common? How can i go about fixing this?

Thank you guys, hopefully this isn't going to be something i have to do on a regular basis. Another question, when i shake my phone close to my ear i can hear a slight rattle inside my phone. I don't recall hearing it when i first got it but then again i never tried to listen. Is it the Accelerometers inside my phone? Is it normal to hear it? It's not a crazy rattle but you can clearly hear something inside moving around. Is this something i should be worried about? My phone works fine except for the battery icon thing but i'm still worried by the noise. I have the apple protection plan...

Firefox window will not move across the desktop

I am running F.F. version 34.0.5 on a iMac with Retina display (32 GB RAM) and Mac OS X 10.10.1
I can resize the Mozilla window but I cannot move it around the screen. I have tried resetting Firefox and also turned off hardware acceleration. I've tried staring it in Safe Mode, and this does not help. All of my extensions are disabled and my plug ins are all set to "never active". None of these steps fixes this problem.

Are you able to move other windows around on the screen.
Normally when the issue continues in safe mode, it is an issue with the install itself.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!

I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2. They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks. I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them. Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks, Ann

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
I did some troubleshooting..
I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

HT4623 The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move no matter what I click on. I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.

The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on. I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen. How do I remedy this nightmare?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try updating the software again.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Is there an iPad app that will let me read a pdf be able to type notes that I can save as a separate plain text file?

In researching a subject, I would like to be able to read several pdfs in succession and keep adding to a text document where I keep notes.
I have seen iPad apps that will let you mark up a pdf, but I would like to have one text file that I keep all my typed notes as a compilation on a subject.
desirable but not critical:
Ideally a split screen where you can have see the pdf and your notes at the same time.
It would be even better if you could copy and paste text from pdf into the note.
It would be great if you could copy a figure into the note (as I can do w/ la partial screen capture on my mac laptop)
I welcome your suggestions if you know of any iPad apps that you think would be useful for the above.
Thanks,
Kevin Lease

Go to settings> general and scroll down to multitasking geastures, turn them on and by swiping with four fingers from the right side of the iPad to the left and back you can switch between apps. I think this is what you need I'm not sure, I hope it helps

HT1414 My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button, what do I do?

My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button, what do I do?
It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything. When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
The ipad's clock has also stopped.
eek

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

I have downloaded the HD version of a movie from itunes, but when I sync it to my iPad 2 it will not play. It appears that it is on the iPad, but it will not play. Is this because it is HD, and if so is there a way to change it from being HD? Thanks

I'm having a similar problem ... just used my iPad 2 to purchase the Bourne trilogy and it downloaded fine but I did not try to play it right away. Then I plugged the iPad into the computer and it downloaded the SD versions of the movie and I used iTunes to sync my movies. Then I tried to play it and it said it could not open the movie. I then did a full iPad restore and did a fresh sync and now I get the Cannot Opne pop up. Did you ever find an answer to your question?
