How do i turn off apps running in the background

How do I stop apps from running in the background?

Do you mean u have no idea what apps they are? You could try Activity Monitor, but be careful there that you won't close / quit apps which might be needed by your system..
If you have some apps which startup in the background when logging in, you can find it in system preferences -> Users & Groups, select your user and then select the tab Login Items.

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7.  How do I turn off apps running in the background? Double tapping the home button and turning each one off doesn't work on the updated iOS.

    Double click the Home button and "slide" the open apps 'UP" with your finger, they will disappear.

    They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

    I am a long time iPhone and Mac user. We just purchesed a new iPad mini. I can't seem to get the apps running in the background to turn off. They won't wiggle, neither will they let me swipe up to remove them. Is there a preference in settings I need to turn on?
    Thanks!

  • IPad 3 I can't turn off apps running in the background like I could before

    Hi updated to new os a few days ago and now I can't seem to turn off all the apps I've opened.  I use to press the button twice then hold my finger on an app and they would start jiggling so I could delete them.  This is running very slow now.  Any one out there know the new trick.

    Double tap the Home button, then slide upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again to return to normal screen.

  • How to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

    how to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

    Most apps do not run in the background on an iPad. Their stae is kept in memory so that when you start the app again it will load quickly at the location you last used it. But you can remove these apps from the Recently Used list. Here's how:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Some apps do refresh in the background if you have that Setting turned on. You can control apps there individually or turn off Back Ground App Refresh completely in the Settings App.
    Settings > General > Background App Refresh

    How to turn off programs running in the background withiOS7?

    I would just add that it is not necessary. The programs referred to are only the recently used programs, and are not "running in the background" with the sometimes exception of GPS apps and music apps. They are simply dormant in the memory. The operating system will remove these programs if the space is required.

    Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
    You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
    Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps
