wp_enqueue_script in the footer

Solution 1
By default WordPress default JavaScripts won’t move to the footer, a workaround is to add its path :
wp_enqueue_script('jquery','/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js','','',true);
Solution 2
Make sure you have the wp_footer()
right before the </body>
tag. See the $in_footer parameter for more info. You also need to call this before wp_head has run. Try also using this action.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_scripts_to_pages');
Another thing to try is using NULL
as 3rd and 4th parameters.

Having problems enqueuing a script in the footer.
wp_deregister_script('jquery'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js', array(), false, true);
Here's the wp_enqueue_script definition:
wp_enqueue_script( $handle ,$src ,$deps ,$ver ,$in_footer );
As you can see I am setting $in_footer to true. This does not work for me. Without that argument it works fine and puts it in header.php. Why doesn't it work with $in_footer?

Nathaniel Flick almost 6 yearsusing both: true, $in_footer = true works for me but I'm not sure why. When I remove the first true, it doesn't work, but using both together does.
