Multitasking no longer working in games or apps?

On my iPod touch, in iOS4, multitasking no longer works. When I first got the firmware, multitasking was working perfectly fine. But now, when I double tap home button while I am in games, no little dock with all my apps that are running pops up. And when I double tap the home button while I am on the home screen, the black bar that SHOULD have all my games and stuff on it doesn't work and I cannot swipe so I see my music controls. Please help, because multitasking is a big part of this update for me.

How about resetting your iPod Touch as described [HERE_|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/#section2]. See if that brings the function back up.

Text-to-speech no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.5.

Text-to-speech is no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.4/5. Does anyone know the software component that passes highlight text over to the speech synthesiser? How is this process different in PDF's compared to any other text format?
So far I have tried Preview, Skim, PDFView, Safari, Evernote and Adobe Reader with the result: silence. The only defference being Adobe Reader which speaks the name of the document and not the highlighted text. I've re-applied the Mac OS10.8.5 como-update, fixed prefs, ran FSCheck and changed user. I've tried every method of triggering the text-to-speech function (including custom scripts). Text-to-speech works perfectly in every other respect exept when working with PDF's. When Maveriks arrives I will do a clean install and rebuild my data manually which I'm pretty certain will fix the problem but it would be extremely rewarding to find an actual solution and learn something in the process.

Rawr! I got it to work, sort of. I think I tried so hard because I hated the thought of using alsa-oss. And I discovered a couple bugs in spd-conf! Does anyone care? lol
Basically, I redid my TTS-related configs & put them under ~/ instead of /usr/share, and ran "festival --server" & "speech-dispatcher -s" as a normal user. I also added myself to the "audio" group somewhere along the line, but I don't think that was the issue.
I'm almost afraid to reboot, because, although speech-dispatcher can be started at boot-time through rc.conf's DAEMONS array, I don't think festival can---at least, not in the same way as it can on distros that have the script /etc/default/festival. I'm about to see if I can track down that file, and hope I don't break everything somehow.
KTTSMgr still doesn't see any synthesizers, but I got past the "dummy module" message. Now I'm hoping I'll get some help from someone who actually knows what to do (as opposed to me).
Take care, all
H
P.S One small complaint: Although my speechd.conf specified port 6561, speech-dispatcher's tests showed that it was looking for a connection on port 6560 first, before scanning to find the real port. I had to change to port 6560 to stop the behaviour, even though I never customized the port number in the first place.

Notify no longer working with find friends app!

On find friends app the notify button no longer works and myself and everyone I'm trying to set the notify button has the latest update "6.1.2". Any one else having the same problem?

I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday. (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.) My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away. I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide. A nightmare. What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck.
Here's my deal. My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network. At school they're on different networks for some reason. Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere. So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it. I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5. Sheesh.

Gmail and IMAP mail accounts no longer work in the mail app since iOS 6

I'm getting the User information or password is incorrect message. Or it takes 10+ minutes to send a message. It will no longer allow me to sync with my IMAP mail account from work. Everything worked correctly, then iOS 6 is released and it's hosed. I've looked online elsewhere and a few people from google are aware of the problem and are trying different things. I tried enabling two-step id with google and providing an app-specific password to no avail.
Highly frustrated in this, and also in the fact that there are no useful workarounds. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi, just update your extensions ( "Change quote and reply format 0.8.1" has to be installed an to be active) by using the updating-function for extensions integrated in Thunderbird.
Or - if the extension is removed - install the latest version from the devellopers website: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/changequote-en.html

MM Director w/QuickTime 7 no longer works correctly

I updated my PC to QT 7.0.3 and now I have a number of MM Director apps which no longer work correctly. These apps have worked for over 5 years with QT3 - QT6, but not now.
The straingt QT movies play okay, but the MM Dir apps no longer seem to be able to control the QTVR movies, e.g. spin, zoom, etc.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks.

Apparently, this is a known issue (with QuickTime VR hotspots etc) at Adobe / Macromedia. It was noted in November 2005.

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.

Which Apple app's will no longer work in Mavericks?

I am using OS 10.8.5 on my MacbookAir. I was contacted by Apple to download a free update to Mavericks, OS 10.9.
I am very suspicious after having been many times forced to buy new apps working under newer Apple operating systems, because some previouly working apps suddenly no longer did after an Apple System upgrade was installed.
I lost mountains of important files created with Applesworks, including important spread sheets and data files which suddenly no longer opened because the Apple appllication used to create them was no longer supported by the newer Apple OS.
I also recall the total mess with earlier iMovie and iDVD updates most of which ensured that previous iMovie and IDVD schemes coukd no longer be opened or used.
Since Apple does not inform users of such problems before the updates are downloaded, maybe it will be of great benefit to get
a reply from other users who have upgraded already to Mavericks.
So which apps, if any will no longer work, if the OS is upgraded to Mavericks?

You were contacted by Apple to download Mavericks? Really?
We wouldn't be able to give you a blow by blow description of which apps will or will not work with Mavericks. There are a lot of people who have upgraded to Mavericks and are not having any issues whatsoever.
There are others who seem to be having every possible issue you can think of.
I would imagine that the difference in experiences here is due to the types of sofware people are running, the amount of CPU capacitity they are using to run various apps, games, etc. Whether or not they are running non-Apple applications, how often they have dropped their laptop, etc.
Since you seem concerned with messes, and problems, and losses of files, then unless you have some burning need to upgrade right at this very moment in it, it seem like it might be prudent to wait.
That's what I am doing. I am perfectly happy with Mountain Lion. There is nothing in Mavericks that I feel I can't live without for awhile. Eventually, I will be upgrading to Mavericks, because I don't want to fall behind in OSX levels for my machine. But for now, there is simply no pressing need to do so.
Bugs are being worked out. Fine tuning is being done. Enhancements are being made.
So, why rush into somehting that has been out for only two months....what's the hurry? It's not going anywhere anytime soon....

All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again.

First Issue: All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again? If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them?
Second Issue: When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP) All my photos loaded onto my iPad2. I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!! How do I get them off? Next time I synced, they loaded again! Now I have so many duplicates! How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

ICloud account no longer working in Messages app

About 2 weeks ago, my iCloud account has stopped working in the Messages app (version 7.0.1) on my laptop (MacBook Pro 2011, running the latest Mountain Lion update, 10.8.5). Only this app seems to be affected -- Mail is functioning fine, as is Notes and Calendar. My iPhone and iPod touch also aren't affected.
I was texting one of my friends while multitasking (I think I was working on a story I'm writing) when I realized that I was no longer receiving my text notifications on my computer. Initially I thought it just had logged out or something. I opened messages and tried to log back in to my icloud account, but I got the error message "Could not sign in to iMessage. The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." I tried multiple times that day, and have multiple times since, but still no luck. Finally a day or two ago I thought maybe I just needed to deactivate iCloud on my laptop completely, and then reactivate it. So I tried that, but still I'm getting the error message.
Incidentally, I have AIM enabled on Messages, too, but that account seems to be functioning - it's logged in and messages can be sent/received. Only my iCloud account seems to be failing.
I don't have any outstanding updates in the App Store, and in the meantime I'm able to iMessage friends just fine from my phone, but I kinda miss being able to easily switch apps and type, while I've got my laptop open. Any ideas what the issue might be?

Try posting this question over in the OS X Mountain Lion forum. iMessage is not part of iCloud.

How CAN we reinstall the Scrabble free game with the new IOS 7.1.2 ? It is no longer working even if I cancel the actual version and reinstall it.

I Have iPad retina. With the new iOS 7.1.2 my Scrabble free game no longer works. What should I do ? I try to reinstall it but they download the version from my Icloud wich is not working.
SOmebody can help here ?

Unfortunately, if the iOS 7.1.2 has broken the app then it's up to the app developer to fix it.
You can look at the reviews. If the update has broken the app then the reviews will reflect that and you can at least know it's not just you.

Want to go back to older OS. Some Apps no longer work

Since I got the new OS, some of my apps/games no longer work or are operating poorly. Where can I go to get an older version of the OS

That would not be Apple policy - why would they do that?
Have you made sure that you have the latest version of the operating system for the Touch, not just iTunes? Also, re-start the iPod - press-and-hold the Sleep/Wake button until the *Slide to power off* comes on, and do that. When the screen is totally blank, press-and-hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears and then wait for the iPod to start up.
Any difference? Re-start is the first thing to try if/when you have problems on the Touch. Oh, and make sure that you have updated the Apps too. In iTunes, go the the Apps section and click on *Check for updates.* Download all the ones you see.

My iPhone apps keep crashing and my sleep button no longer works

So my apps keep crashing when I try to open them; everything from games to my email. My sleep/power button no longer works so I can't even shut it down to restart it. I don't know if I should just let the battery die and hope that by rebooting it will work again? Doesn't really make sense why they won't open anymore.

After downloading iOS 8.1.1 the apple apps on my iPad 2 no longer work. Anyone else having this issue

after downloading ios 8.1.1, my apple apps no longer work. Anyone else seeing this?

It might fix corrupted apps, but now you have the Settings app freezing on you. At this point, I would close every app in the multitaski g display and then reset the iPad again in the manner in which Ralph described above.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close every app this way. If you have never done this before, it can take a few minutes to close them all if you have a bunch apps in the display.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.
