Where are Multitasking Gestures for iPad 1

I have been using Multitasking Gestures on an iPad 1 for some time now.
It was enbled through Xcode, however I can't see how to turn it back on following the iOS5 update.
Can anyone help?

Apple should think carefully about how they treat iPad1 users.
iPad1 users are the tech savvy people who moved first and recommended to their friends that they come on board when iPad2 was released.
However, experiences like this might inspire us to find alternatives to the next logical step (iPad3), given that Apple are unnecessarily limiting the features of older devices. If Apple want to inspire us to find alternatives to iPad3 and help our friends make the switch too, then just keep following this older style of business model!

Why no multitasking gestures for iphone in ios5?

I was just reading the iOS 5 features list and noticed that multitasking gestures would be integrated into the new update, but it seemed to indicate it will only available on the iPad and not the iPhone!
Is this true and if so what is the reason?
On one hand I might assume it's hardware based and that the my iPhone 4 is not physically able to distinguish more than 2 touch points (rendering 4/5 finger gestures useless), but while I'm not fully familiar with the tech behind capacitance screens I would have thought the screen would detect as many points of contact as there actually are and it would be the software/firmware which would decide how to interpret these signals?
Or maybe apple have decided screen real estate is a limiting factor on the iPhone, though I don’t see why?
Anyway perhaps someone out there more knowledgeable on the subject can enlighten me!?

Even if there was, iOS 5 is in beta and only available to registered developers under a non-disclosure agreement, meaning they cannot discuss the beta outside of Apple's private developer forums.
Apple have not made any public announcements as to why multitasking gestures are only on iPad. Speculation is against the Terms of Use of these forums.
iPhone's can detect at least 10 touch points, so it's not that.

How do you enable gestures for ipad2 4.3.3

Multi-point gestures is no longer available in IOS 4.3.3. Is there anyway to enable it.

Multitasking Gestures weren't offically added to iOS 4.3, but some developers have access to them.
Take a look at the iOS Developer Program to become a developer. If you just want the gestures, try a Google search.
WTH.

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,

No gestures for iPad 1 in iOS 5? Apple, are you kidding us?!

This is not fair.

I upgraded my personal original iPad to 5.0 trusting this functionality would continue to work(1). This is really disappointing since there is no reason why it would not work in the original iPad, it worked perfectly fine in 4.3.X when being a developer.
I worship apple products but it is really unpleasant when there are features that are being removed especially when it is my favourite feature.
Since my Home button is damaged, my iPad becames pretty much unusable now.
Please, reconsider this decision, it is a very bad marketing decision!

The multitasking gestures for iOS 5 are oly for the iPad 2 and maybe the iPhone 4S.

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.

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?

Send them feedback and make the suggesion. We're just fellow users here, we have zero control over anything Apple does.

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

What happens if my multitasking gestures doesn't turn on?

On settings, I turned multitasking gestures ON, but it still doesn't work.....HELP

What do you mean doesn't work?
What are you trying to do?
Do you tried
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

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...

Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

Help pls.

It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
There are 3 gestures.
Use four ot five fingers to;
• Pinch for Home screen
• Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
• Swipe left or right to go between open apps
If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

8.1 Bugs - Multitasking Gestures & Safari

Installed 8.1 and multitasking gestures will cease to function at random. FIX: Control settings, turn them off and then back on again. But, note that in time, it will stop functions again, so repeat the process. Zero points for Apple here.
Safari is a browser gone wild. Video gets choppy now at times. No, it is not my connection. I had an older iPad running side by side on same video, same website. The ipad running 7.1 played the same video without a hitch. Also, when using the iPad keypad, weird things happen in safari. The keyboard will close for no reason whatsoever, it will type all caps when caps lock is not engaged, it will scroll the text area out of view so you cannot see what you are typing. Same website, same text box, different iPad running 7.1 functions properly. Zero points for Apple.
CONCLUSION: Seems like Apple hired a new Development Director who has dropped the ball and is leading Apple into a major losing streak. As the umpire (consumer) I call them as I see them. Apple, I think you need to hire a new manager before you become proud honorary recipients of a 1st place trophy on The Wall of Shame. Sorry, but when you start putting out technology that is glitchy and scratchy, then maybe you should consider the cartoon business.

I Have to use different browsers to do different things
to put auction on eBay I use safari to upload the pictures I have to go to chrome ,
and nd then if I want to edit I have to use chrome ,
i can't select text and copy from webpages like I used to , some web pages forms don't display so can't fill in so then switch to chrome only to find on chrome you can't click on drop down menus etccc
IOS IS A DISASTER THEY HAVE EVEN SENT ME A NEW IPAD REPLACEMENT ALTHOUGH MY DAUGHTERS IPAD STILL ON IOS7 works fine , they havent a CLUE , I asked how would a new iPad fix a software problem ???
JUst seen DUMBER AND DUMBER TO HAS BEEN RELEASED ALSO !!!!!
GIven up up ipad is up for sale also whilst typing the text disappears behind the keyboard so you can't see what your typing , I was told by Irish so called senior advisor this was normal ,,, oh it's a new feature I replied you can't see what your typing and that's a good feature DUMB springs to mind then he said he wasn't a great user of PAGES but he just told me it was normal
