My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

Double clicking to show the open apps does not work. I re-powered but it did not help. Any suggestions?

For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and it won't open. I have tried double tapping in the numbers

I keep putting in my passcode but my iPad won't show the numbers in the blocks and consequently it won't open for me. I have tried double tapping in the numbers and then it shows the numbers in the blocks correctly but then it responds with a wrong code in red and then locks me out.
Typing in the code takes a long time which might indicate a full HD.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

my ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open . If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture. They are all in .jpg format. Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read.

Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

Hello michelefox17
It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

My ipad home button wont bring up the multitask bar when i double click it help please!!!!!!!!!

please help

If a double-click (which you need to do fairly quickly) isn't working, then have you tried a reset to see if it then works 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.

HT1430 How do I clear out the old windows when I double click? We used to hold an icon at the bottom of the screen and touch the x's to delete.

How do I delete old open windows. Before the upgrade, I held an icon til it wiggles, then touched the x to delete.

Double click the home button, then the material above the icon, swipe that up and away.

I can't open firefox. when i double click on the icon, there is a message that says: the procedure entry point squlite3_db_status could not be located in the dynamic link library mozsqlite3.dll.

can i fix this problem anyhow or will i lose allllll my bookmarks if i reinstall firefox..??

The first thing to do is to locate your profile folder/directory, that is easiest to do if firefox itself is open! Then copy the whole lot somewhere safe such as onto your windows desktop. This step is not entirely necessary but a belts and braces procedure, because presumably you have no other backups of your bookmarks and so it seems a prudent precautionary step.
For informatiom the bookmarks themselves are stored multiple times. The main and most important is a file called ''places.sqlite'' there will also be a folder of backups with the extension ''.json''.
Normally Firefox will retain bookmarks and other data when reinstalling, as long as you do NOT use the option to delete data (however that is worded). The location of the profile folder is likely to be something like
''C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''
Copy the whole lot from where it says Mozilla that should include the bookmark backups folder.
Now you can go ahead and do a clean reinstall of firefox. Noting that these files are in a totaly different file path from the profile. typically ''C:\Programs''
#download a new version of firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html <br> this will be firefox 5 not firefox 4 that is ok <br> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/contributors/707043?last=40456 (discussion)]
# save the file where you can find it such as on the desktop
#uninstall firefox using XP control panel option ( do NOT remove personal data)
#to ensure this is a clean install remove the firefox folder if it remains in your programs directory (do not confuse with the profile mentioned already)
# run the install file for firefox 5 that you have saved already
This should result in a clean reinstall of firefox 5, which should have your bookmarks and any other settings. In future remember to make backups of bookmarks. (The profile folders/files saved initially should not be required).
If you had backup bookmarks, simply creating another profile may have worked to fix this problem.

Some of my photos show in iPhoto but when i double click on them, they show a warning sign.What happened?

This is in iPhoto 11. Mac OS X 10.7.1
The pictures are visible, but can't do anything with them. No printing or editing and I looked under the info and it doesn't give me any clues. When and how did that happen?

As we can't see your machine we have no idea why this happened.
Time Machine can back up material on external drives.
No idea why rebuilding "isn't an option" in your case.
You might want to reconsider your back up routine. You don't need Library Manager to duplicate your Library, you can simply use the Finder for that.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

I have installed firefox and now have the icon but when i double click on ,nothing happens, please help

I am trying to change web browser from internet explorer to firefox, I have downloaded firefox but I am not able to use the icon . Nothing happens when I click on to use it. please help.

In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.
