Applications running in the background

Does anyone know if there is a way to see which appplications are running in the background?  My battery keeps discharging at a faster rate than normal and I assume I have left an application running (without menu-close) and that it is causing the battery drain.
Thanks

Press ALT + Escape (the key to the right of the trackball) to view the background apps.

    Double-click the home button that will bring up all the applications in the background.
    To close then you swipe the application upward and it will close.

  • How do I close programs/applications running in the background

    My computer Mac Pro is getting slow.  The wheel runs and runs.  I took it in to Apple at one time and they coded a bunch of files that were running in the background, thus slowing the computer.  How do I do this myself?

    Hey diane41,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you wish to learn about Activity Monitor and quitting processes that are using a significant amount of memory. The following resource may assist you:

  • Is there a way to have applications run in the background after I log out?

    New to Mavericks, have a new iMac after being on Leopard for years. After I log out, all the applications I had running stop and close. Is there a way to keep those running? It seems like logging out, and the applications stopping, would negate the ability to see any notifications on the lock screen. I have multiple users set up on this computer, is that the reason?

    By definition, logging out means quitting all your processes. If you want to log in as a different user without logging out, see below.

    Obviously you didn't search the forum prior to your post as there have been a lot of posters with the same question. Double tap on the home button as usual. Scroll left or right to select the app that you want to close and swipe upward to close it. The iPhone ios7 user guide is available online from Apple support and from the ibook store on your phone.

    Hi Andi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
    The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
    Can you please suggest anything.
    Thanks and regards

  • How do i see what applications are running in the background

    My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Key press detection when application is running in the background

    Is it possible to detect any key presses when the application is in the background?

    The key-related, pointer-related, and paint() methods will only be called while the Canvas is actually visible on the output device. These methods will therefore only be called on this Canvas object only after a call to showNotify() and before a call to hideNotify(). After hideNotify() has been called, none of the key, pointer, and paint methods will be called until after a subsequent call to showNotify() has returned. A call to a run() method resulting from callSerially() may occur irrespective of calls to showNotify() and hideNotify().
    The showNotify() method is called prior to the Canvas actually being made visible on the display, and the hideNotify() method is called after the Canvas has been removed from the display. The visibility state of a Canvas (or any other Displayable object) may be queried through the use of the Displayable.isShown() method. The change in visibility state of a Canvas may be caused by the application management software moving MIDlets between foreground and background states, or by the system obscuring the Canvas with system screens. Thus, the calls to showNotify() and hideNotify() are not under the control of the MIDlet and may occur fairly frequently. Application developers are encouraged to perform expensive setup and teardown tasks outside the showNotify() and hideNotify() methods in order to make them as lightweight as possible.
    The above answer you might have found in the JAVADOC, if you would have gone through the description of the Canvas class.
    Don't forget your DUKES as I had to search the JAVADOC for giving you the exact answer, which you should have done that yourself only!!!

  • Does Safari use up bandwidth if I leave it running in the background with zero tabs open?  Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?

    If I leave Safari running in the background with zero tabs open, does it still use up bandwidth?  Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?  I'd rather not have to since quitting the application and restarting it when I need to will quickly become tedious, but if that saves me on bandwidth usage, I'll do it.  Thanks!

  • Please make a permanent solution to stop applications from running in the background

    'multitasking' is not a very usefull invention and should have a permanent solution, to stop applications from running in the background instead of having to go in and exit them. the only thing that is usefull is to go in and click on next song under music, everything else running in the background can just be exited as far as im concerned, its not like i have 400 applications, and i have to go searching through my phone to find them

    Push twice on the Home button to display running apps. Press on one and hold until they wiggle. Tap on the circled red "x" to remove each from the background. Note that backgrounded apps are not actually running until you access them except for those that have been written to run concurrently such as Music, which can continue playing while you are using other apps.

  • How do I find out what applications are running in the background

  • Needs a background webdynpro application running at the server side

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we need to have an application running all the time at the server side to capture the response coming from a web application. Based on the response that the application receives, it needs to update some backend R/3 tables.
    We are thinking of a webdynpro java application.
    Can anyone suggest what kind of application needs to be implemented here?
    And what  would be the steps required to run the application at the server side without calling the application.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anurag

    Hi Robin,
    Thanks for the detailed explaination.
    This may sound silly to you but I've another doubt which is as follows:
    As you mentioned that the external web application will be sending requests to our Web service(in SOAP envelopes) and rest of the functionality can be  achieved by our web service.
    Actually, we are expecting only responses from the external web application. The thing is that we are sending the requests to the external web applications from our custom webdynpro application and in return the web application will be sending us 2 responses.
    First response would be back to our WD java application URL(to the browser in which WD java app is running) which would get the response and display some message based on the response.
    Second would be to this web service which you have just suggested. We are having two responses so that even if the browser in which the WD java application is running gets accidentally closed, the response from the external web application must get captured somewhere else and should not get lost in any case.
    So, now since we are only expecting the response from the web application and we do not want any requests from the web application to our web service; how is this possible?
    I am asking the above question because you have mentioned that the external web application has to request our Web service but we want is only this web service to capture the response coming from the Web application.
    Or is it like the web application will send us the response string as request string to our Web Service and the web service will capture these response parameters as request parameters from the web application and do the further processing.
    But in that case, we do not want any response to be sent by the Web Service to the external web application.
    Please suggest if this is possible.
    Once again, many thanks for the help so far.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anurag
