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

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    You won't have the FaceTime app on it, and you won't be able to install it. And if anything goes wrong with the iPad then you may only be able to get it repaired/replaced under warranty the UAE

  • Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

    It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
    When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

  • Ipad 4.3.4 Multitasking Gestures missing

    I updated my ipad 1 to 4.3.4 last night and noticed 'Multitasking Gestures' are missing. Anyone else?

    Multitasking gestures haven't yet been enabled in any public release of iOS - I think that it's due to appear in iOS 5

  • ICloud drive icon missing from iPad

    My iCloud drive icon is missing from my iPad. I can't find a download for it in the App Sotre. Does anyone have any advice for restoring?

    There is no iCloud Drive Icon on the iPhone or iPad. You access iCloud files through the Apps that support them on iCloud, I.e. , Pages, Numbers, etc.

  • Photos missing from iPad after ios8 update

    MY iPad is three years old, and all my travel photos    are ( were) on it. I updated to iOS 8 today, now there are no photos visible prior to man 2015. Any suggestions, and no I don't own a Mac , and I never actives iCloud before.

    Obvious: restore from the back up you made prior to upgrading.
    If that's not possible:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • App setting is missing from IPad

    Several of my apps have disappeared, including the settings app.  I've tried searching, rebooting, but can't find a settings app. 

    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

  • 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!

  • Safari missing on ipad

    safari browser and itunes icon completely missing from ipad after update

    Check Settings / General / Restrictions - see if the applications were "restricted".  If they aren't, you most likely need to redo the update.
    Also, check to see if the apps that are missing will launch from spotlight.  Tap home button until you see search ipad.  See if they may have been moved to a folder.

  • 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.

  • IPad mini multitasking gestures ios diagnostic appears

    I recently sent an ios diagnostic report to Apple, then I updated from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1, after that when using multitasking gestures, ios diagnostic window keeps appearing.
    How do I turn it off?? Thanks guys

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Anyone else experience iOS 8 iPad issues with multitasking gestures?

    I've had several instances where the multitasking gestures do not respond on my iPad mini.  When using the 4-finger swipe up (equivelent to double click the home button), instead of entering the multitasking view, the visible app senses me trying to scroll.  I tried this gesture from the Settings app in landscape mode and both sides of the app scrolled.  Restarting my iPad fixes this issue temporarilly.
    On another occasion, while trying to switch between apps by swiping left to right with 4 fingers, SpringBoard crashed and restarted.
    Anyone else seeing these kinds of issues?  How best to report to Apple?

    Yes, I have this on an iPad Air after updating to IOS 8. The pinch option seems to randomly quit working. It you go to Settings and turn off Multitasking Gestures, leave Settings, and go back in to Settings and re-enable Multitasking Gestures it works again for a while but will then randomly quit again. It seems like it is only the pinch option that quits working.
    I have found that when I have the problem I can pull down the Notification screen, or pull up the settings screen using the one finger swipe up or swipe down option and then the pinch options works again. Since I found this circumvention and don't have to toggle the setting it is not as annoying, but I still wind up trying to pinch multiple times before I realize it has quit working so I agree this should be fixed soon.
