Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

I just received some horrifying news from Adobe about my production suite. I just FINALLY learned today that what I've been trying to do for over a week now - CAN'T be done because of compatability issues involving updates of both Adobe & Microsucks Winders!!! I sincerely hope this is not your problem. Mine is ALMOST HOPELESS!! Being in this HOPELESS Obamma economy,,,, leaves NO STIMULUS in which to currently upgrade everything that needs upgraded for me to fully use my INVESTMENT in Adobe Suite - sad, horrible and SICKENING!!!
I just wanted to post this. And again, I truly hope you find a solution. Good Luck! -
I bought "slightly used 64 Gig iPad. Works fine but somehow I still have two alburms in iPhoto. I fooled around and took two photos, deleted them and now One is still in Camera Roll and other is in Edited album. I have deleted the one photos I had in each and they show empty . However the photos are still coming up as Wallpaper. Also I do not have camera icon in bottom right corner. I have a Picture frame that still brings up the two pictures I deleted. I tapped the screen and nothing changes it all stays blank except for two pictures. How do I get rid of them and get back to normal.
Thanks,

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it using the find my iphone app! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? i just want to know if this <bleep> was looking through my private info. TIA
Sorry marcia,
There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.
Sorry,

WOW - Can't this be a flashing message in the forums since it's been asked about a 1,000 times now.

i updated my ipod the other day and since i have been unable to open any apps that connect to the internet, its says "operation could not be completed. invalid argument". anybody help please?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Restore the iPod via iTunes, First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

I am trying to mirror my iPad 2 with my Apple TV . I hit the home button twice, scrolled through the app icons but still do not see the air play icon? I did check to confirm that both devices are on the same network.
Yes they are both on the same network and I enabled air play on the TV. I finally located the icon on my iPad last night and succeeded in mirroring. It seems the instructions from apple were confusing me. They said tap the home button twice and then scroll to the right. The icon however is on the left side of the screen and shows as what I would call a button as opposed to an icon, located among the buttons of a mini player. Anyway, found it last night and now am enjoying the mirroring feature. Thanks for all the help.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Hitting the home button twice!
When I hit the home button twice the bottom row lights up. When I hold down on any of the icons the delete mode pops up. When I hit delete it deletes the icon(s) then i hit the home button to go back to the home screen the icon is still there. Im not actually trying to delete the icon, someone told me by doing this it turnes off that icon or something! Can anyone explain what this does?
That action just tells the OS to "close" the application. Normally iOS handles this automatically as it needs memory, but you can force them to close manually with that action. I routinely do this to reduce background cellular & GPS usage, but for the most part I allow iOS to manage these recently used applications as it sees fit.
To remove an application touch and hold its icon on the home screen until it starts to "jiggle", at that point all installed applications will have an X in a circle in their upper left hand corner. Touching that X on any app will remove it from the device. -
X1 Carbon Touch: have to push the power button twice to boot the system
This is what always happened when I booted up the computer:
First time when I pressed the power button, the computer was on for just 2-3 seconds showing the "Lenovo" logo, and then automatically went back to power-off with nothing happened further.
And then I pressed the power button again, the computer booted and loaded the operating system without any problem.
Even though I'm able to start the computer in this way eventually, it is very annoying. It happens every time when I cold started the system (no such a problem if I simply restart the computer). Anyone knows why I have to push the power button twice to boot the system? I suspect it's something related to the rapid start technology, but cannot locate the exact reason. Anyone else has the similar problem? I have a Windows 8.1 now, but the problem existed when I was still using Windows 8. After I upgraded to 8.1, the problem still exists.Batteries
