Is there a gesture for multitasking on the iPhone 5?

I've have so many home button issues on my iPhones over the years I would like to use gestures whenever possible. In particular, it would be nice to use a gesture to show the multitasking in iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 5 instead of double-clicking on the home button. I've already had to return the iPhone 5 because of home button issues.
Anyway, on the iPad 2 I can swipe up with 4 fingers to bring up multitasking.
That doesn't seem to work on my iPhone 5. It would be cumbersome anway, getting 4 fingers to fit for the swipe!
Is there some multitasking gesture for the iPhone 5 that does work (and is actually practical given the size of the screen)?
Thanks,
doug

You are very lucky about your home button! The creeping symptom that typically starts happening is that over time a single click gets interpreted as a double click. Sort of like a "stutter" that gets worse over time. When it finally gets to the point where I can reliably demonstrate it to Apple I bring it in and they exchange it. Of course when AppleCare is over I'm left with another device that will demonstrate the problem over time.
A couple of months ago on my iPhone 5 my home button experienced a different problem. Functionally it would work, but the rectangle in the home button would swivel left and right. It was obvious something was loose. So I exchanged that as well. They exchanged that one by mail - sending me a replacement and picking up the old one at the same time.
I have never had a mobile device or notebook computer from Apple that didn't require multiple repairs. Apple always takes care of it in the end, but it takes a lot of mental preparation before making an Apple purchase because I know it will inevitablly mean having to get repairs or exchanges.
Anyway, I'll just continue with double-clicking for multi-tasking in iOS 7 on my iPhone 5. There doesn't seem to be a simple alternative.
Thanks,

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

Is there a shortcut for compiling in the procedure editor e. g. F9

Hi,
Is there a shortcut for compiling in the procedure editor e. g. F9 like in the SQL-Worksheet? I can't find anything about shortcuts in the help.
Regards, Juergen

When I try to open a procedure saved in a text file with .sql extension, the editor does not show the options those are available when I open directly from the database e.q Collapsible option at the side of evert proceure/function, IF statements and LOOPing constructs.
Am I missing something or the feature isn't there yet.
Regards
Ray

We used the same id for her phone an sisters iPod now everything goes to her phone is there anyway to change it on the iPhone and keep it for the iPod

We set up the iPhone with the same Apple ID an password is there anyway to change if on the iPhone am still keep it for the ipod

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Why is there a charge for apps on the mac laptops and computers

Why is there a charge for apps on the Mac laptops and computers and not on the Ipad or Iphone? And the same apps are cheaper on my Nook?

Kind of unfair. I get the cheapest ones on my Nook and all my friends that have Iphones and Ipads are free.
Thankyou for answering me though

Does anyone know if there are equivalent photo filters to the iphone filters ("chrome", "fade" etc) available for Aperture?

Of course I am asking because when you use a filter on the iphone, then import to Aperture, it does not save your edited image. Unless someone knows a fix for that?
Thanks!

When you connect the iphone to usb the current contents of the Camera Roll will be transfererd. That does not show the edzts done later.
You have to save the edited image on your iPhone back to the Camera roll - edit a copy of the photo and then save the edted version to the camera roll or share it to the Photo Stream. Then you can transfer the edited image. I use iPhoto for iOS on the iPhone and iPad to share edited images to the camera roll.
When you connect the iPhone to the mac and download the camera roll, the edited versions you saved to the camera roll will also be transferred.
The Filters applied in the Camera App are handled well by Aperture work with the lossless workflow. They are showing in the Adjustment tab as "iPhoto Edits" and can be toggled on and off:
An example: The "instant" filter applied (left), and after unchecking the filter in Aperture (right)

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

I would like to know if there are any classes in using the iphone in the South Bay area (around Torrance) of Los Angeles County?

Apple stores have classes, look online for the Apple store closest to you & their schedules. Here's Apple's free iPhone app to do so right on your phone:

Not via Bluetooth. You can connect over Wi-Fi, but this needs to be configured when the device is connected with a cable.

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
