IPad Feature Request -- Force App Close

I would like to request a feature for the iPad. I recently updated to OS 4.2.1 and love Multitasking, but sometimes I want to force an application to exit. I know you can switch to a different app from the one you want to close, bring up the multitasking tray, hold your finger on the app you want to close, then tap the read "-" symbol to force the application to close, but this process is cumbersome. You used to be able to hold down the Exit button for 4 seconds to force an application to quit. I would like this feature back! If I press the Exit button quickly, leave the application in the background and show it on the multitasking tray. If I hold the Exit button for 4 seconds, the iPad should force the app to close, return to the home screen, and NOT show it on the multitasking tray (a true force quit). Apple, please consider adding this feature back. It would really help with closing troublesome applications!
Thanks,

You need to tell Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
You also might want to read up on how the multitasking works as you would realise that your request would not achieve anything useful.

Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'

I'm about to post a feature request, but wanted to see if anyone else is interested in this request too. Adobe told me that getting support on the forum first is a good way to push the request through.
Here's the very simple FR:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Keyboard Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'
How would you like the feature to work?
It was a great touch to add this contextual menu item to Premiere Pro CC, but it's a little clunky without being able to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
It's usage would simply close every other Timeline Panel except the active one upon pressing the shortcut.
The default could be something not currently in use like Ctrl+Cmd+W (since CMD+W closes the active panel), but customisable in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel.
Why is this feature important to you?
This is something I have to do very frequently while editing, and since I (and many others) edit largely with the keyboard, a shortcut would be very useful and speed up workflow just a tiny bit.
Anyone else interested in this (admittedly fairly boring) feature request, let me know!
Thanks!

Thanks for the support and video Kevin!
cscooper2013: I totally agree with you, I can't see any reason why any action should be exluded from having a shortcut. I've submitted this simple request because I feel like it's more likely to get done on it's own.
Maybe make a separate FR for that?

Feature Request: Uninstall App

I don't see a way to uninstall a recently installed app, does this mean we just drag-n-drop?
I'm making a feature request for the ability to uninstall, or an explanation of how to uninstall otherwise.

f you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Feature Request: Allow Apps to Access Apple ID User Address

This is a feature request for new iOS functionality
If iOS gave permission for apps to access the home or billing address a user has defined when setting up their Apple ID, then I believe the app can use this address to automatically set up the shipping of a purchased item for example. This would enable apps to sell physical goods, paid for by the user's Apple ID and set up for shipping to his Apple ID address, instantly.
I believe couriers already have SDKs that allow apps to programatically register the pickup and shipment of an item.
Users can then be able to manage their addresses in iOS/iCloud.

This will never happen because of the obvious security implications.

IPad Feature Request (Please make a Video Play List feature)

Feature Request it would be really nice if Apple made a Video Play List feature just like photo albums on iPads.

Feature Request: Setting App page title to something other than "Eloqua 10"

Hello everyone,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As someone who has been using Eloqua for over 3 years, when working in the application, I will usually end up with upwards of half-a-dozen tabs open in Firefox, all of which say "Eloqua 10". Because of this, I'll usually try to strategically organize my tabs, but often times I end up having to click through multiple tabs to find the one I'm looking for, which can sometimes lead to Firefox freezing. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
So to alleviate this, I'd like to make the following feature request: Can we have the tabs/windows named by Asset Type & Asset Name? Perhaps in the following Format:
[Asset Type]: [Asset Name] - Eloqua 10
Note how I have "Eloqua 10" at the end of the string. An example of a title would be: "Campaigns: Nurture_Campaign_1 - Eloqua 10"
Could this please be implemented?
Thank you,
Sean

Here is a snippet of code that I wrote and use without any problem:
   public void ppPrint() {
      if (printJob==null) initPrintJob();
      try {
         if (!printJob.printDialog(aset)) return;
      } catch (Throwable e) {
   public void initPrintJob() {
      aset=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
      aset.add(new JobName("AOKabc",null));
      aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(.75f,.25f,7.5f,10.5f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));
      printJob=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
/* locate a print service that can handle the request */
      PrintService[] services=PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
      if (services.length==0) System.out.println("Warning: No printer detected!");
      else {
         try {
            printJob.setPrintService(services[0]);
         } catch (Throwable pe) { }
      pageFormat=printJob.defaultPage();
      Paper paper=new Paper();
      paper.setImageableArea(54,18,540,756);
      pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
      printJob.setPrintable(Preview.this);
   };o)

Feature Request: In-App Time Keeping with Cloud Accounting Sync

Has Adobe ever considered adding In-App Time-Tracking to their applications?
I'm currently in the middle of catching up on my time-tracking. I'm two weeks behind… Don't judge me, you know you ALL do this . Anyway, I'm having a hard time remembering how much time I've accutately spent on certain tasks for certain clients. I usually go back into my emails to see who I was communicating with and what we were talking about, but that can only get me so far.
Then it occurred to me that there is no reason my Adobe applications couldn't track time for me. It would be a pretty easy thing to do. For example, while the application is open, it could clock both idle and active time and store that into a log. This could all happen in the background with very little CPU draw I suspect.
Active time could be determined by the app as—time spent in the app while the mouse or keyboard is being activated. If they aren't activated within 2 minutes or when the app is not being used, is in the background (i.e. User's browser, email, or other app is in-use instead), that's logged as idle-time. Idle time obviously wouldn't have to show up in the log. Maybe just as sidebar information.
At the end of the week, if I could export that log from the CC dialogue in my Finder, I could very quickly determine how much time I spent working on specific files, in specific apps, and on what days. Guess work eliminated!
Even better, if I could connect this information to my FreshBooks account, I'd save a TON of time doing time entry.
THAT is a feature I would LOVE to see in the upcoming updates.

I agree that a desktop app or access to the bookstore via the Web is essential for the iBook store to grow. For example, every Friday, I read the New York Times Book Reviews. To see more reviews, user reactions, and the Kindle price, I check Amazon. Once I'm there, it's a lot easier to buy the Kindle version than to open iBooks and check its availability there. Also, I have 600+ Kindle books. If I inadvertently try to repurchase a book, Amazon warns me that I've already bought it. No such warning (naturally) if I buy a previously purchased Kindle book from the iBook store. But if I could open two browser windows, it would be easy to check for duplicates. I want the iBook store to succeed, but it's time for an upgrade and soon it may be too late.

Feature Request: Force Safari to use one window

This feature is available on Mozilla Firefox. Is there a way to prevent Safari from opening more than one window and force all (target="_blank") links to tabs?

Sorry, should have said I know that. I would like to make the NEW WINDOW option the default. So I don't have to open the menu each time.

Feature Request- Professional app rating

Hey. App rating is fickle sometimes. What if there was another rating beside the user rating with up to 5 stars as well, rated by BlackBerry or by approved reviewers who analyse apps thoroughly by solid standards? Trusted folks who look at all aspects of an app for design, usefulness, presentation etc. Cars have 2 kinds of reviews so apps could too. It would be especially valuable to a buyer and coveted by a vendor. Thanks guys.

Myko,
The ability to only include certain ratings in a Smart Playlist is already there.
Your other suggestions sound new. You can submit them to Apple via the Feedback page:

Feature request: refresh app server button

I would like to put in for a button, next to "restart server" that would basically have the effect of touching (updating timestamp) on the nitrox-application.xml file that jboss sees. That has the effect of forcing jboss to reloan the webapp without having to restart all of jboss (slow).
I am doing this now by simply adding whitespace in the xml file and saving it.

We feel your pain! We're about to start work on fixing this within the next week or so. You can track our progress on the Brackets backlog here: https://trello.com/c/gbBtpARq/709-1-define-default-html-file-for-live-development. Once the fix lands in the Brackets open-source project, it will be rolled into the next Edge Code release.

TS3274 How can I force apps to close on iPad?

Help

I was only able to power off with this method, but ipad still kept the apps open. I want to force a single app to close so that I do not have to use so many 5 finger swipes to get to the apps I want. Is there another way to accomplish this?

Dropbox force to close on ipad

Dropbox app on some of the iPad Air has been not functioning recently and I needed to re-install the app to make it working again. As soon as I tapped on the dropbox icon, the app would pop up with a blank page and then shut itself off in one 3rd of a second. After a hard boot (held the Home and Turn off button together) and clearing all caches and cookies, the app still would not work. I wonder if this has to do with the iOS. In fact, the same situation happened on iOS 8.0.2 and 7.1.2. Also I made sure that's the latest version of dropbox app is installed on my iPad Air (wi-fi+cellular type). Has anyone heard of this case? And how should I deal with it?

Featured tab in app store says " Your request cannot be completed".

Featured tab in app store says " Your request cannot be completed".
Only happened after updating to iOS 5?

Apps can only be downloaded via iTunes on your computer (and then synced to the iPad) or directly on the iPad via the App Store app - have you tried downloading it via either of those ?

App store, feature, request couldn't complete

Lately, I couldn't access feature page in app store, it says "your request could not be complete" every time I press.
I have two iTunes account, I am aware region lock would causes such error message.
I have tried loging out and logging back, switch account. Nine worked, even tried going to
iTunes.apple.com/uk/app/
It would still show the same error message

Just to say, I have the same problem. But without switching accounts.
I have the problem both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
Popup appears when buying or updating apps. Both paid and free.
The list is even getting bigger, the last time it said this and 23 other items could not be purchased at this time.
Still the apps install and backup fine and they just work. There are also still added to my purchase history.
About switching to the new iPad: I think the apps will still sync to the new iPad and the data won't be lost. But the error will still be displayed or maybe the new iPad will fix it, I will see when I get mine march 23

A feature request for iOS app developers...

Guys and Gals,
I have a feature request which I think will benefit iOS app developers as much as it would benefit your customers.
Any customer that has more than a handful of apps will eventually forget what some of those apps do or what makes them unique. For instance, I had not used the wonderful hotel finder, Oyster, in over a year. I not only forgot I had it, I also forgot how Oyster's service was different than other hotel finders. I had to refamiliarize myself with the app. Sometimes, this requires returning to the App Store to read the product description again.
It would be helpful if every app had an About button that would present the product description, summarizing the app's purpose and what differentiates it from similar apps without going into the details of how to use it.

Apple discourages the use of About or Help buttons.
Send feedback to Apple because this is the wrong place to ask; we are all just users like you.
