To open app you only tap once.

  • One of my apps disappeared as an icon! When I double tapped my home button it showed up at the bottom of the page. When I held my finger the red edit button appeared on app and I hit it! App is gone. Can't redownload as shows installed. Help!

    One of my apps has disappeared from my screen! I tried double tapping home button and the app showed up in the icon bar. I tapped and held the app and the red edit box appeared in left corner of app. I then hit the red button and the app went away. I tried to redownload but the app store shows as a purchased and installed app. Not sure how to recapture the app. Help

    You did't delete it. It's still there. You just deleted it from your history (a handy thing, 'cause it drains battery with what you would call RAM-usage). Swipe from screen to screen to find it. The only thing you might have lost, is any unsaved data in it (depending on tha kind of app it was e.g. Pages). It is the equivalent of quitting the application on a computer.

  • I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

    So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
    Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
    Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
    Can someone help me please
    Thanks

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • When I double tap the home button and delete open apps, they will just re appear if I double tap home again,...

    I always delete my open apps but since i did the lates update the apps wont delete they will just re appear when i double tap home again,.. Whyyy??

    For clarification purpose:
    You start by double clicking the Home button to reveal the screen as shown above. You then swipe upwards on the App Previews to clear all recently used Apps and end up with a screen like below?
    You then tap the Home button to return to normal screen. Then you immediately double tap the Home button again to see all the recently used Apps as shown in the first picture? If this isn't the procedure you are following, please explain your process, and exactly what you are seeing. Attaching screen shots will help.

  • I updated my 3GS to iOS5, but when i double tap the home button, it doesn't show the camera app, just the ipod controls?

    I badly need help, i just updated my 3GS to iOS5, but i don't see any difference, i don't have the new features that they're talking about. When i double tap the home button, it just shows the iPod controls and no camera app shows up.

    My iPhone 3GS is still on iOS3 but I think you could already change what double tapping the Home button can do before iOS5, by tapping "Settings" -> "Home".  That may have changed in iOS5 but I don't think it should have. 

  • HT4623 my phon when i double tap, my apps do not jiggle and i can not remove my open ones

    downladed to io7, and now when i double tap to close, my open apps, they do not jiggle and i can not x them out

    Force closing apps changed in iOS 7.
    Reading the User's Guide would have revealed this.
    Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar.
    Swipe UP on the card to force close the app.

  • HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

    when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them?  I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc.  Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications.  Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid.  Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

  • How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

    HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

    As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
    Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

  • TS1702 When we double tap the home button, only about half of the icons appear at the bottom.  How do we get them all to appear?

    WHen we double tap the home button, only about half of the apps appear.  How do we get them all o appear?

    If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Sound on my ipad only works when I enter my pass code and when I play games. But when I typed, however, or try to listen to music/YouTube/Netflix, the sound doesn't work. When I double tap and go to the task manager, the volume slider has no dot. Help?

    I did not have this problem earlier today. I haven't dropped it recently or any such thing. I have, however, used two different audio jacks today. Although it makes keyboard sounds when I type in my pass code, it doesn't make the sounds otherwise. I also tested the sound on temple run and it worked. My slider key is set to mute, not to lock screen. When I try to adjust the volume, it'll say "sound effects" and the volume will be turned all the way down, but it won't let me turn it up. I got this iPad in December and unfortunately did not purchase AppleCare and I believe the warranty has passed. Any suggestions as to what's wrong?

    Try A and B
    (A) Restart iPad
    1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) 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
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Why do I have to double-tap my messages to get them to open??

    When checking my email, I have to double-tap each message to get it to open. WHY?? Just started doing this today!!

    Thanks! Problem solved. I've had an iPhone for two years and never noticed that feature of iOS. Somehow, my son must have stumbled on it.
    Apple, if you're peeking in on this, please put someone to work on making that feature more useful. There is no (obvious) way to scroll menus! Also, you should add a Voice Over command to disable that mode.
