IPhone 4 won't switch tasks in iOS 7

Task switching stopped working with the update to iOS 7. Apps almost always have to restart when switching back to them, even if I just locked the screen a minute ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I know iOS 7 isn't supposed to run super smoothly on my older iPhone, but losing such an important part of the functionality is very frustrating.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Iphone 4 won't switch on after ios update

Hi my iphone 4 won't switch on pretty well first use after latest update.
I have tried numerous button pressing configurations and times as suggested on other forums but still no luck...any ideas?

Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
If all good - restore from back up
good luck...

Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
What is it you're trying to do? If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center. Orientation lock is the top right icon.

Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

iPhone 5 won't switch on silver logo flashing

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My IPhone 4 won't switch on but when i put it on the charger it does work i've tried everything but it won't work. Is something wrong with my charger or is it my Phone

An obvious possibilty is a dead battery. They don't last forever. Take it along to an Apple store and get it checked out.

IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
Thanks

My new iPhone 4GS won't switch songs when playing music. It just plays the same song over and over again. Is there a fix for this?

When I try to play music on my phone, it won't switch songs -- just plays the same song over and over again. This is true whether shuffle is turned on or not. How do I make this stop? This phone is brand new!

My iPhone 5s won't switch on?

OOn Sunday evening my iphone was accidentally put in the washing machine for about five minutes. When I realised I got it out, dried it, put it in rice since then. the phone was still on until I switched it off yesterday morning as the battery was down to 8%. I have just tried to switch it on and it now won't switch back on. Should I plug the power cable in?

Hi This needed to be in Rice for 7 Days and not turned on. I think it may beyond repair. Take IPHONE to Apple Store make an Appointment. You will need to pay towards the cost of a replacement IPHONE. Cheers Brian
