Returning to previous App without restarting it??

Hey All,
I'm wondering if this is possible or just something u have to deal with, with the iphone. If u are in an App and it sends u online or something like that is there a way to return to the app u were in without going to homescreen and then going back into it? For example: If I'm in Facebook and I take a link that sends me online or to a website can I go back to Facebook??? or do I have to go back home, then back into it. Same with any other apps that sends me online.
Thanks
BILL

Note that application developers have the option of displaying links in the application to avoid this problem. Most don't, however.

  • Keystroke command to close all apps (without restart or shutdown):

    Hate to ask what is probably a simple issue, but I can't find a keystroke command that will close all open apps without restart or shutdown... just close everything that is open and let me continue or shut the lid to sleep ...
    Anyone know one? or a way to do a command in iKey?
    thanks,
    tom

    logout will do this. Of course you have to log in again afterwards, but it will kill all user-related processes.

  • How to return to previous pages without going back one at a time

    I do a lot of work on ebay and have to return to previous searches or pages and I used to be able to have a button that would show all the previous pages and I could go down the list and click on it. The only option I have now is to go into history and it only shows recent pages and it's for ALL the tabs open. I want just the tab for ebay previous pages. For instance if I go to ebay sold and relist an item it takes me through the prompts and if I want to return to ebay sold I want a drop down showing that option. I no longer see one. This normally wouldn't be too much of an issue except that the ebay sold is on ebay.com and relist is on ebay.ca so I like to go back to the previous page instead of going to bookmarks, ebay, my ebay, sold etc to get there again. Too much work!!! thanks, Iris

  • I have no way to return to previous page without going completely out of firefox - can you help with this?

    I start with the home page of a site. Then go to one of the other pages on the same site. I find no way to return to the home page without going completely out of firefox and having to start all over again. In other words the "back" arrow is gray and does not work to get me back to the original home page. Can you help with this?

    Try double clicking on the Back arrow. If you click on it and hold it pressed, it should give you a drop down list of the previous pages. You can also achieve that by right click on the Back arrow. But if you do a single, quick click on it, it should take you back.

  • When using the "Books" app on my ipod touch, if I open one of my books there is no way to return to the library without stopping and restarting the app. What am I doing wrong?

    Once I open a book in my library there is no option to close it and return to the library. I must leave the app, stop the app and then restart it. How do I exit an opened book to return to my library without having to exit, stop, and restart the app?

    Assuming you are talking about "iBooks", then just
    tap the center of the screen
    and you should see a "Library" in the upper left corner of the screen.
    tap the center of the screen again,
    and you should return to full screen mode.
    if this is NOT iBooks, then I do not know what controls that app

  • When closing an app, focus doesn't return to previously open app

    Just as the subject line says. Is there a way to make OS X Leopard revert to the previously open window after closing an app? Perfect example: I open a pdf file from a website, and Preview opens to display the file. I close Preview when done but Firefox is not focused. I then have to click inside the Firefox window to make Firefox active, then I can resume whatever I'm doing in FF. Thanks.

    ericd67,
    Typically, focus will return to the previously active application when a second is quit. In the example you have given, however, my assumption would be that: 1) you have downloaded the PDF with Firefox, then 2) you opened the downloaded PDF by double-clicking on it.
    This second action on your part would naturally have been done within the Finder. As such, the Finder would be the "previously active" application, and will be the application that becomes active after Preview is quit.
    One way around this particular scenario would be to right-click (control-click) the downloaded file, and choose "Open" from the contextual menu. This is possible without actually making the FInder the active application. When the second application (Preview, in this case) is quit, the previous app will be come active, not the Finder.

  • I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

    The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP.  It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error.  I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.  
    After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps.  I closed apps  manually a few times to no avail.  I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it.  The install went smoothly after that. 
    I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive.  This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems. 
    I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

  • Mac Mail will not compose mail or respond to mail without restarting Mail app

    After using Mac Mail for a few messages, sometimes only ONE, it will not respond to received mail, either by clicking the RESPOND icon nor using menu choices under "Message".  Nor will it respond to Compose New mail, either by icon access or menu choice.  It WILL respond after RESTARTING Mail, but then only for one or two messages, but then it will no longer respond without restart.

    Disable Data Saver.Find the Data Saver (Settings -> Battery & Data Saver) and uncheck "Enable Data Saver". Then return to the Market and restart your downloads.
    The above is to download from the APPS store. Not using WiFi.
    I found this in a web article.

  • Return to previous menu button?

    hey hey...
    does anyone know if there is a function that when ur in safari or doing something else and you get a txt message... if u hit reply and all that... can you return to the previous screen without going to the home screen?
    thanks for ur help!
    =)

    No, you cannot. Reading an SMS takes you to the SMS app, and to get back to what you were doing before, you need to go through the home screen.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
