Gestures Not Working

I restored my iPad to 4.3 and the new gestures aren't available for me and there are no options in the menu. Is anyone else running into this? I'm going to reinstall the software but I just wanted to see if this was a common problem or just me.

Please let ATV2 4.3 pass through 5.1 AAC instead of down-mixing it to stereo.

It supports 5.1 AC3 (Dolby Digital) for surround sound. AAC is for stereo.

4.2.5 is what the presentation CDMA phones had. If they are in fact released with that version, then they too will have access to the 4.3 update when that is released shortly after. I expect.

I understand, I am asking why apple hasn't seeded 4.2.5

Still waiting on that close all running apps button.

why?

same here. I've restored twice now AND reset all my settings, still see nothing in Settings.app about the multi-touch gestures. Very frustrating.

4.3 is 4.2.5 (already extensively tested in-house) for all supported iOS devices. It is the unifying build/version.

Also, have you tried closing more the 50 apps running in the multitask bar...one...at...a...time?

If you are both legit devs go to the developers forums

You know they are not all running don't you?

I don't see the gestures menu item. I'm looking at screenshots of it but it's not on my iPad after updating

guess:

• minimal changes apart from CDMA support and hotspot, which were all tested to death by verizon/apple in last few months. Verizon spokesman said they had over 1,000 CDMA iPhones on their network testing it recently. No other beta testing necessary.
• if they had seeded 4.2.5 with CDMA/verizon references in it, the cat would have been out of the proverbial.

Yeah some are paused. But there are apps still receiving push notifications, background audio/streaming etc

 

[harry20larry]

Got a problem, just installed on my Dad's iPad and I can see no option to enable multitouch gestures, just nothing there. Anyone else have this problem?

Why would you need to? If you're that concerned about it, reboot the phone.

 

[applefanDrew]

I think they are "training" us for Lion. The guy demonstrating Lion was saying you had to use different gestures to switch between full screen apps, mission control, etc. This is making iOS and Lion gestures consistent with each other, though I don't know how the iPhone will be integrated with this.

Rebooting doesn't quit apps running/paused in the background. They mostly remain as they were pre/post reboot.

im sad apparently the wifi hotspot works but im too not retarded to get the non unlimited plan

 

[anti-microsoft]

That Facetime icon is quite awful.

Could not agree more, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

-ams.

They are just listed in the multitasking list, they are not running. Think of that list as recently run applications, that is all it really is.

Update on Gestures

Just to update for those that aren't getting the gestures. I forgot that I had installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Xcode so if after I went into Organizer and clicked "Use for Development" the gestures appeared.

Can you airplay videos from the camera roll???

Just tested it...it finally works!

 

[badmac78]

I would like to see Airplay support in Safari and as it seems it will come. What really got me excited are the new multitouch gestures for the iPad. It is much better having a gesture to switch between open apps. The only bad thing is that a gesture isn't really intuitive for many people and someone will have to explain them how it is done Having a button in order to do that is easier for these people. Having said that, I mutely prefer using gestures and I would like to see the home button disappear in the next iPad.

HTML5 video is supported for Airplay

Awesome, thanks, now I can get my Dad's iPad on it. BTW, does using a device for development slow the app quit due to it saving data etc

Does it slow the reboot process at all?

 

[jacollins]

They are just listed in the multitasking list, they are not running. Think of that list as recently run applications, that is all it really is.

I think there's still something hinky there. Have a sporadic issue where my phone goes from 100% to 86% overnight. Last time it happened, Didn't do any reboots or anything, but the next night I force closed the last 20 apps or so and it went from 100% to 99% overnight.

Don't know what it was in the 20 apps, but they were a mix of GPS, streaming apps, and games. Hasn't happened since. Was it apps? Was it something else? Don't know. My suspicion is that one of the streaming apps might lock it in an "awake" state, even though it's not streaming anything (and the OS is supposed to sleep it in that case). Maybe if it 'crashes' or hits some error state.

If 3G support has stopped, as suggested in article, I would be dissappointed.

I do NOT want new features that the hardward can not handle - and I am very appreciative that Apple took steps to un-cripple my 3G a few months ago when it could not handle the 4.0 update.

Nowever, I would like SECURITY related items to still be included in upgrades for 3G. And if there are little things that retain basic functional consistancy between the older and newer iphones in our house, that would be a good thing to share with 3G-ers too.

Of course, there does becomes a time when hardware does become too old to support, but my 3G is still within my 2 year AT&T contract... so I don't really consider it ancient tech. yet!

iPhone 3G came out July 2008, and 2.5 years is a long time in tech world.

What kind of security related items are you talking about anyway?
